It's not just games that have made reference to Resi 4 but the title has also been given the nod in various TV shows and films, in background images and the like.

However, the game got a very big shout-out in one of the most critically acclaimed TV shows of all time. In the Breaking Bad episode Thirty Eight Snub, the second episode of season four, the characters of Badger and Skinny Pete are discussing the best video game zombies. Nobody tell them that, "uhm actually the Ganados in Resident Evil 4 aren't technically zombies".

Six years after this episode aired, CGI film Resident Evil Vendetta gave the nod back where Chris Redfield remarks that his squad "aren't talking about Breaking Bad for once" and one of them calls it a masterpiece.
