Leon Redfield is the main protagonist in Capcom's "Resident Evil 4."

Since it was released in 2004, "Resident Evil 4" has grown to become one of the classics from the Osaka-based game developer, Capcom. After over decade, a fan of that game installment is said to have redeveloped a scrapped portion of the game and has been released just recently.  

The fan that goes by the moniker ShiguWorks has just released a demo game that came from a canceled version of "Resident Evil 4" known as "Hallucinations." Shigu is said to have meticulously checked the elements of the said segment of the game and tweaked some of it resulting in the creation of a demo game dubbed as "Madman," according to Kotaku.  

Furthermore, the "RE4" enthusiast hinted that he might continue working with what he had started and turn it into a full game, Dark Side of Gaming has learned. Shigu even boasted that he already devised a script for the game and went on saying that he already tapped a voice actor to portray the role of the protagonist - Leon Redfield.  

He added that his project will resume provided that his endeavor will gain the much-needed support from interested individuals. Shigu also mentioned that he is looking for skilled game designers and other team members for "Madman" to push through.  

it is expected by now that the fan-made demo game will soon be taken down by Capcom once it is noticed by the game maker. Hence, fans who wish to play the game are suggested to download it before it gets shut down and fans may do so through this link.   

Meanwhile, "RE4" has gone through numerous changes before it was shelled out to gamers. Reports suggest that Capcom canned three versions of it before it settled down with the fourth that has reached acclaim status. In addition, the title is believed to have pioneered the "over the shoulder" third-person POV that has been adapted by succeeding titles on that genre.
