Throughout Resident Evil’s 24-year history, the franchise has produced a cast of amazing characters that have since become beloved icons in the video game industry. Of course, while every Resident Evil fan will have their own favorite character, it is without a doubt that, despite a long absence, Jill Valentine remains to be one of the most popular Resident Evil characters of all time. In just a week from today, Jill Valentine is making a return with the release of the highly-anticipated remake of Resident Evil 3 , which chronicles her desperate escape from Raccoon City and the relentless pursuit of Neme
After playing through the RE2 and RE3 remakes, it could potentially confuse or turn away some new fans if Capcom goes with Code: Veronica over RE4 . Of course, older RE fans may say otherwise. But it’s prudent to aim for the broader general market to optimize profit, especially when you can sense that remaking RE4 over Code: Veronica will gain more fans than l
Given the recent popularity in Souls-like action-adventure games based in mythological or historical East Asian settings, such as Nioh, Sekiro and the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima , a remake of Onimusha could be a smart move by Capcom. It may already be testing the waters, given that Capcom filed for new Onimusha trademarks in 2018, and a remastered version, Onimusha: Warlords Remastered , was released last y
In 2005, Capcom went on to help once again redefine the survival horror genre with Resident Evil 4 . This game solidified the Resident Evil franchise as legendary and inspired many copycats. It almost feels too good to be improved upon, which contributes to the current discuss
Though Devil May Cry never really fizzled out, it is safe to say that the recent release of the much acclaimed Devil May Cry 5 injected new life into the series and not only brought back old fans, but attracted plenty of new fans as well. Given the introduction of new fans to the franchise, a remake of the original Devil May Cry may be in or
Having said all that, is Capcom’s portrayal of Jill in the remake different from the original? With everything we know so far, the answer to that would be yes, Capcom did take a different approach in Jill’s personality, but the developers were still able to retain her overall character. She remains independent and capable, compassionate to others but tough on her enemies. Sure, she is a little bit sassier than her previous portrayals but her comebacks are always within rea
During her iconic comeback in 1999’s Resident Evil 3 , players saw a hardened Jill Valentine. Her opening monologue alone showed her desire to take down Umbrella and bring justice to the deaths of her S.T.A.R.S. teammates. In this game, Capcom did a great job in portraying her as a member of an elite police squad, which was obvious in her more confident attitude in dealing with the Raccoon City outbreak , her reluctance to team up with the U.B.C.S., and the way she singlehandedly defeated Nemesis. In succeeding games, Capcom remained consistent with its portrayal of Jill, and many players knew her as a reliable partner to her comrades, but a nightmare to her enem
This team contributed to the development of RE3 and is made up of developers that have worked for Capcom in the past. Meanwhile, Shinji Mikami, the director of the original game, has been reported to give his blessing on this title. If Mikami is comfortable with who is at the helm, then it must mean they have some great id
The first Devil May Cry was already redone once in the form of a reboot, on Playstation 3, PC and Xbox 360 in 2013, but to many fans, the reboot missed the mark with too much reliance on platforming and the new version of Dante simply was not well received. It may be worth remaking the original iteration of the Devil May Cry once again, but without rebooting the character himself or the story, and maintaining Devil May Cry’s stylish characters from the original. Giving it the Resident Evil 2 Remake treatment by updating the overall gameplay engine and world, but keeping the characters and story intact, may be the better route to initiate a second Remake done ri
However, as many other franchises have discovered, you cannot just depend on this feeling. RE2 and Kyokugon Shrine Location RE3 remakes made sense from a functional standpoint, but RE4 may not be necessary beyond feelings of nostal
However, unlike the original Resident Evil 3 , Jill is much more vocal about what she wants to happen, giving her more control of her situation. As previously mentioned, her conversation with Carlos and Mikhail included sarcastic comebacks, which made some fans think that maybe Capcom is trying too hard to portray her as this badass heroine for the sake of just being badass. However, looking at the context of the situation closely, her reaction to Carlos and Mikhail remains consistent with Jill’s charac
Code: Veronica originally released on the Sega Dreamcast in February 2000. This game is about five years older than RE4 which shows with the game’s much more dated graphics. Meanwhile, RE4 has gotten remaster after remaster since its 2005 release. At the same time, Code: Veronica hasn’t seen any graphical improvements since the HD re-release in 2
