How Resident Evil 4 Could Benefit From A Remake

After all, new releases, be they brand new intellectual properties or sequels to core series, are the bread and butter of all game development teams. When it comes to the bottom line, that is where Capcom needs to keep the majority of its focus, and that is where the future classics will be coming from – not from remakes of games that have already been released several times o


All in all, Street Fighter 5 has been a bit of a disaster for Capcom, with some even claiming that the game has essentially been released in an unfinished state . Unfortunately, it is far from the only flawed title to be released from Capcom’s stables. Although Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was well-received , and the Monster Hunter series has continued to maintain a very strong following, those stand-out classics that the company was known for seem to be drying


In the original game, she runs into the Nemesis for the first time l ater in the game. While it appears Jill's first confrontation with the Nemesis transpires at the start of the game as she is fleeing her home, it does not necessarily change the story from the original, as this same sequence could have transpired in the original game too, but was not sh


Resident Evil 4 represents a completely different challenge compared to the recently released remakes. Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 both initially came out on the first PlayStation console way back in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Sony's first console didn't have the luxury of rendering highly complex character models or 3D environments, storing larger amounts of data, and any other modern conveniences games from the mid-to-late 2000s onward have. Resident Evil 4 came out for the GameCube in 2005, and though it wasn't necessarily the first fully dimensional Resident Evil game, it was the first to take advantage of next-generation hardware to craft a highly detailed wo


However, it looks like this game franchise could be a victim of attrition and "falling interest." It's the same reason why the movie sequel always seems not to do as well. If the numbers are low for RE3 , the chances are high that the same will happen to an RE4 rem


Away from mobile development, Capcom is also not necessarily sticking to new guns. The company revealed that Resident Evil 4 , 5 , and 6 would be making their way to both PS4 and Xbox One , receiving a release for the most recent console generation. Capcom is looking even further to its past, too, with a full remake of Resident Evil 2 currently in the wo


Back when RE4's released, additional characters that needed to be occasionally saved were annoying and a downright drain on enjoyment. An update could see developers do more with Ashley while making her more of a teammate and less of a bur


While the trailer does not confirm that the gameplay within the game will take place at an earlier date, the clues do point to a more in-depth introduction giving us insight into the city's descent to chaos. As far as important dates are concerned, the gameplay in the original Resident Evil 3 began when Jill Valentine left her apartment on September 28, 1998 , a day before Resident Evil 2 's events begin. By September 28, the city was already in desolate ruins, overrun with hordes of zombies and had become lawl


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


An update one should certainly expect from a Resident Evil 4 remake is the refinement of the mobility and aiming mechanics. Resident Evil stuck with the tank-controls aiming technique for the longest time, but eventually evolved to allow for more freedom of movement without sacrificing the series' evocative feeling of vulnerability. Resident Evil 2 Remake is a prime example of this , eschewing the stationary aiming design and allowing players to reposition ever so slowly. But on the flipside of this, the remake should be careful not to slip too far from the original game's constraints. Resident Evil 4 's weapon aiming had realistic weapon shake where every slight adjustment required the upmost precision. A Resident Evil 4 remake shouldn't lose that aspect of its tactical gameplay, but should at least allow for more mobility in com


Resident Evil 4 , though featuring plenty of familiar cramped spaces that the franchise was known for, was the first game to truly blow the world out into a more vast, naughty Dog Patch 1.1.5 open-air world. The game still remained true to the core of Resident Evil , but Resident Evil 4 was revolutionary not only for the franchise but for games in general. Despite being confined to the series' trademark tank controls, the game was incredibly innovative in perfecting the third-person shooter genre. The over-the-shoulder camera design in Resident Evil 4 greatly succeeded where many other precursor games had experimented and failed in previously. Some of the best third-person shooters released since 2005 have Resident Evil 4 to thank for its incredible aiming technol
