Ever since their introduction in Resident Evil 2 , Lickers became one of the most feared and most popular enemies in the Resident Evil franchise. Similar to Crimson Heads, Lickers are mutations from severely injured zombies, but this mutation is caused by a separate t-Virus strain. Lickers are known for their large exposed brains and extremely long tongue. Although these creatures do not have the ability to see, they are extremely sensitive to sound and are able to hunt their prey just by listening to their movements. Although Lickers were present in Raccoon City during the Outbreak, Jill Valentine wasn’t able to encounter them, but it will be interesting to see whether these monsters will be present in the remake, especially inside the police stat
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 2 an
Now, the subsequent creatures that are featured on this list are monsters that were developed by Capcom for other Resident Evil 4 Remake Evil games that did not make the final cut. Headlining this list is the ultra-creepy Spider-Man, which is a monster design that was rejected during the development of the Resident Evil 0 . The monster appears to be a giant tarantula spider that is taking over a human host. The monster design surfaced during the Developer Diary video of Resident Evil 0 Remaster , and while unlikely, it is interesting to see this design come to life in Resident Evi
The negative effects of the virus can be seen much more clearly on the original design, as almost the entire upper half of the monster is covered in mutant growths. In size the two seem to be mostly the same, although it is somewhat difficult to gauge due to the different angles of the two. Although the creature features much more reptilian skin now, a more unexpected change comes in the form of an additional claw. The original appears to have only four claws while the new one has five like a human, as if it needed more ways to shred through play
Yet, it’s worth remembering that Resident Evil 4 is undeniably one of the series’ most pivotal entries. The action-centric format that eventually went onto define the later games in the series was done to perfection in 4 , with the game completely reinventing what it meant to play a Resident Evil title . It goes without saying that while a remake might not be as utterly transformative as games like Resident Evil 2 and the upcoming remake of the third game, there’s still a lot of merit in updating Resident Evil 4’s combat and clunky controls to show just how incredible the game’s core gameplay and set of mechanics were back in the day. Fixing the aiming so players can move while shooting and adding some of the incredible nuances that made Resident Evil 2 such an immersive next step for the series would go a long way if added to the fourth game, especially if done so alongside a major visual overha
The Wildcat was a scrapped monster that was supposed to appear in the original Resident Evil 3 game. These creatures were supposed to be the ones hunting in the Raccoon City park but were replaced by the Hunter Gammas instead . The origins of the Wildcat is still unknown but it appears that the monster is not a product of the Umbrella Corporation, and is probably an escaped zoo animal that was infected with the t-Virus. As of the moment, gameplay videos of Resident Evil 3 remake appear to suggest that the Hunter Gammas will be located in the city’s sewers, which begs the question of whether the city park will now be populated by this scrapped mons
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
When Capcom went back to the drawing board while remaking Resident Evil 2, it made complete sense. The original three games revolved around outdated game design, favoring restrictive tank controls and a fixed viewpoint instead of allowing players to pilot both their character and camera with relative ease. Instead of fully altering the world, story, or characters (all the elements which fans loved about Resident Evil 2), the remake restructures the game’s obsolete design and transforms it into a horror experience built to thrive in 20
