Bringing back such a game ahead of its time means Resident Evil 4 ‘s remake has a lot to live up to. That’s precisely why Capcom has to perform a very delicate balancing act if Capcom intends to truly remake Resident Evil 4 in the flavor of its most recent remakes. A lot of what the original game introduced to the world of games has now become commonplace for third-person shooters, survival horror games, and other genres in general. That being said, there are plenty of quality-of-life updates Resident Evil 4 deserves that a remake could achieve thanks to innovations made in games from the past dec
It could be said about many of the armor sets on the list that the suit itself is the hero’s greatest weapon. However, in the case of Vanquish , the sentiment is a literal one. Instead of building futuristic guns, DARPA invested in the Augmented Reaction Suit (ARS) to turn an everyday soldier into a walking t
Rare’s original vision for GoldenEye 007 was that of a 2D side-scroller for the SNES that would play similarly to Donkey Kong Country . Plans changed when Rare was told of the Nintendo 64 (then known as Ultra 64), and the company decided to make an on-rails shooter similar to Virtua Cop . Luckily, Rare decided to ditch the on-rails aspect of the game and allow players to explore levels freely, resulting in the game many FPS gamers fell in love with back in 1
To those who are not so well-versed in Resident Evil’s long history, Jill Valentine is one of the first playable characters in Resident Evil, and many claim that she is also the first female playable character in a survival-horror game. When Capcom first introduced Jill, she is described as a capable police officer, whose strengths include her compassionate nature, a strong sense of justice, and her ability to work well under extreme pressure. It is fairly difficult to go in-depth on Jill’s personality during the first Resident Evil game, since she barely had any, given that Capcom’s priority at this point in Resident Evil’s history was to introduce strong survival-horror gamep
Another enemy from the original Resident Evil 2, which was left out of its remake, was the Giant Spider. In the case of Resident Evil 2 , these were not actually experiments created by Umbrella, but the natural result of spiders that had been accidentally infected by the T-Virus when Dr. Birkin caused its release into the underground sewers. They could be found in the sewers below Raccoon City during the break
Back in 2001, Crytek developed the CryEngine for Nvidia. To show off its new technology, Crytek created a tech demo of a game called X-Isle: Dinosaur Island that featured a variety of prehistoric creatures stomping around in the wo
Resident Evil 2’s remake stayed mostly true to the original game in terms of story, lore and details, but there are a few changes to the enemies which fans may not be aware of. In addition to some new enemy concepts that were scrapped from the final release of Resident Evil 2 Remake, there are also some old enemy types from the original game which were not included in the origi
Another important part of the Grand Theft Auto formula came about by complete accident. Apparently, cops weren’t meant to chase players off the road, but they started to do so due to a glitch in the programming. This glitch reportedly led to the “Wanted” system that is still used to this day in the latest entry in the series, Grand Theft Auto
With no shortage of kid-friendly platformers on the market, Rare needed an angle for its game to stand out. It eventually decided to rework Twelve Tales: Conker 64 into an adult-oriented game with dark comedy, foul language, blood, gore, drugs, booze, and sexual innuendos gal
Starting with the new enemy type that was cut from the game, and neither was it ever in the original, Innovative Gameplay is the Condemned (above right). It is a humanoid enemy type, and its concept art can be unlocked within the game by finishing the Genius Chemist record, which is achieved by completing the puzzle in the Drug Testing Lab in a total of 9 moves in Leon or Claire’s st
Any fan of the Super Mario Bros. series knows that the titular siblings have more than a passing interest in extensive wardrobes. When it comes to special suits, power-ups, or unique abilities, they are the undisputed experts. But rarely can the term ‘armor’ be applied to Mario or Luigi’s bonus clothing – except in the case of the Hammer S
There are also a few enemies that were in the original Resident Evi l, but were not included in the Remake, such as the Giant Moth. In the original Resident Evil 2 game, the Giant Moth was encountered in the B5F computer room in Umbrella’s underground Raccoon City facil
In summary, Resident Evil 2 added some new enemies, such as the Ivy Zombies, made some drastic changes, such is the case of Plant 43, while some of the enemies in the original game were absent, including spiders, moths and crows. While there was some ambitions to include some drastically new enemies, as shown in the concept art, they never made it to the final cut. In the end, the remake of Resident Evil 2’s zombies sticks very close to the familiar grounds of the original in terms of its choices of enemies and their overall design, functions, and l
