Taking pros and cons for whether a Resident Evil 4 remake is necessary to one side, the game would also sell incredibly well for Capcom, which is surely a more corporate reason for the title to get a modern facelift. The fourth game remains a staple of its lineup (hence its constant re-releases on later platforms), meaning that it’s no doubt a big moneymaker for the company and one that would succeed if eventually redesigned for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
The fourth game is, after all, a staple of video game history. When it dropped back in 2005, it forever changing the landscape of survival horror and launched Resident Evil into the stratosphere, carving out the franchise’s unwavering spot as one of the most important IP’s in the history of the medium. In many ways, Resident Evil 4 is one of the core reasons that the series is still relevant enough to release AAA blockbuster remakes of its earlier games and have them sell like wildfire. In that regard, why isn’t the game already in line for a glitzy, HD reimagining with the budget to match its transcendent leg
In the original game, Nemesis was already relentless in chasing players, but most of the encounters are still scripted, and players would just have to run two to three doors to lose the tyrant. However, with all the information revealed so far, it appears that this won’t be the case in the remake. Based on RE3 gameplay previews alone, it appears that it would take players a greater amount of effort and expert maneuverability to lose Nemesis, who can now blast through walls. However, to allow players to focus on other aspects of the game, there will be certain areas such as safe rooms and areas where puzzles are located where Nemesis can’t en
Ever since Resident Evil 3 remake’s official announcement last December, Capcom has been teasing fans with a generous number of screenshots and gameplay videos to get them hyped up for the upcoming game. What’s even more exciting is that the Japanese developer and publisher will release a playable demo sometime before Resident Evil 3 ‘s release in Ap
Of course, while finally revisiting Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveria, and the utterly horrifying Nemesis is the next big experience for the franchise, it is worth wondering where Resident Evil’s newfound enthusiasm with revisiting its roots will lead following the remake’s release. While many fans are naturally hoping Capcom might return to the likes of Code Veronica or even the first game in the series, it’s also worth considering whether the third game’s groundbreaking sequel, Resident Evil 4 , would – or more importantly even should – receive a full remake in the same vein as Resident Evil Nintendo Switch 2 an
It’s certainly a concern, particularly when such care seems to be going towards the remakes and side projects that the company has in store. After all, Capcom has confirmed that fan feedback for Resident Evil 6 is helping to improve the development of the Resident Evil 2 remake . Although that’s certainly a positive sign for the remake, given the ignominious reception that Resident Evil 6 received, one may wonder why that feedback is not being used for an entirely new ti
GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, which released for various platforms such as the PlayStation 3, is as close as we’ve gotten to a GoldenEye 007 remake. Although it did well with critics, it wasn’t the remake we anticipated. Here’s hoping they make another attempt at remaking GoldenEye
However, over recent years, fans have grown a little disheartened with Capcom’s general output. Some have criticized the company for resting on its laurels, and it’s easy to see where that observation comes from. After all, Capcom seems to have kept a large focus on remastered versions of old games, rather than fully embracing the new hardware at its dispo
Without a shadow of a doubt, Capcom is a part of video game royalty. The company has been home to a number of the greatest gaming franchises of all time, bringing revolutionary titles to a wide variety of genres, from fighting games all the way through to survival horror. The publisher has solidified its place in the market through decades’ worth of quality, earning itself a place in the history of gam
However, in the upcoming remake, the dodge mechanic is also upgraded and Jill is given a new Quick Step move that will allow her to evade lunging zombies and even run past Nemesis’ death grip. Another exciting new move is the Perfect Dodge that when executed at the right time, will allow players to avoid the attack while entering a slight slow-mo that can be utilized to land a heads
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
In truth, there are as many reasons why Resident Evil 4 should be the next game to receive a remake from the ground-up as there are counter-arguments as to why it’s absolutely fine as is. Perhaps the biggest point in defense of the latter is that the game doesn’t exactly falter when compared to modern standards. Granted, it might feel more restrictive than later entries in the series, with the game preventing players from moving while aiming and the controls feeling largely more rigid, but the core innovations Resident Evil 4 introduced back in 2005 remain integral to the formula to this
