Remaking Resident Evil 4 poses an interesting opportunity for Capcom, an undertaking very different in comparison to remaking the classic Resident Evil titles. Considering the technical gap from the original PlayStation to current-gen consoles is gigantic, Resident Evil 2 and 3 received a lot of love for their respective reimaginings. The fourth Resident Evil game is still widely considered a relatively modern entry in the series, despite showing its age in several aspects. Capcom’s development team could strike the perfect balance of new and old in giving one of the best Resident Evil titles a proper reimagin
Of course, while it may be disappointing to have these locations removed, it made Jill and Carlos’ route to their escape more realistic than the original. Both the park and the graveyard only existed because they led to the dead factory, which is Umbrella’s disposal facility . However, having such a facility that conducts illegal operations above ground is unrealistic, which is why a highly-sophisticated lab beneath the Hospital, which is also owned by Umbrella, makes more sense in the grand scheme of thi
Of course, some may argue that Carlos and Mikhail are mere mercenaries of Umbrella and are not responsible for the Raccoon City outbreak. While that argument is valid, it is worth pointing out that in today’s Jill Valentine-centered trailer , it was revealed that Jill herself realized this later in the game, and even started to apologize to Carlos. The trailer also showed how Jill and Carlos’s relationship improved, and how they started to rely on each other to survive the outbreak. This goes to show that after realizing that Carlos was not deeply involved with Umbrella, Jill started treating him like a partner, showing that her sarcastic remarks earlier in the game were not made for the sake Tears of The Kingdom tracking appearing mean-spiri
Although Resident Evil 3 is not a bad remake, it is important to acknowledge that it’s not perfect either. Similar to its original counterpart, the game’s main campaign is relatively short , due to the fact that the remake did not include any additional storylines to the game. Sure, UBCS member Tyrell may have been given an expanded role in the game, but Brad Vickers died too soon, Dario Rosso’s appearance is mostly just for the sake of having him there, and players didn’t even get to meet and know the civilians that Jill and Carlos fought so hard to res
The developers also state that the Nemesis has more ways “to track down his target Jill Valentine” in the new remake. This sounds potentially similar to a design structure that would more closely resemble the way in which Alien: Isolation ‘s creature was programmed , and how it dynamically traverses the map through both a mixture of scripted appearances and random exploration using its
From there, a Resident Evil 4 remake could continue making miniscule changes, but there’s not really much else to tackle ideally. Resident Evil 4 ‘s experience was already an incredibly well-balanced experience that any changes beyond the aforementioned may work to cheapen a remake in the spirit of the original game. Though Capcom has found success in implementing radical changes as well , it’d be interesting to see how a reimagining could be tackled for Resident Evil
There are some key differences though which seem to complement the monster quite nicely. For one, the trench coat itself is darker and bulkier, and seems to be made out of some kind of stretched leather. Nemesis is much more top heavy in the new version as well, featuring an even more towering physique than before. And although this is less of a change and more just improved graphics, the extra detail of Nemesis’ face and the way the flesh seems pulled over adds to the overall fear factor of the beast. If Nemesis is going to strike fear into players the same way he did in the original game, it is vital he looks the p
Given this, the personalities of both playable characters weren’t as fleshed-out, especially when compared to modern games. However, based on dialogue alone, Jill did not really embody the traits of a traditional video game heroine, and while she is capable enough to handle the situation she’s in, she lacked the flair and personality that is common in today’s video game protagonist. But in retrospect, even if it wasn’t intentional, Capcom’s portrayal of Jill in the first Resident Evil game does make sense, given that this game served as her origin story. Prior to the mansion incident, Jill has no experience in dealing with bioweapons, so it wouldn’t really make sense to portray her as a badass bioweapon killing machine when this is the first time that she even knew bioweapons exis
With high-challenge Souls-like games gaining a foothold and proving to be popular in recent years, rebooting the Lost Planet franchise in such a landscape may prove to be a potential success, and if done right, the mech-theme and frozen alien-planet setting would certainly make it among the most unique in this action-adventure sub-ge
