Does Resident Evil 4 Need A Remake

In 2019's remake of Resident Evil 2 , players were given a glimpse of what it's like to roam the zombie-infested streets of Raccoon City. However, given that the game mostly took place inside the Raccoon City police station , sewer, and Umbrella laboratory, players weren't really able to see just how bad the outbreak hit the once peaceful community. In 1999's Resident Evil 3, players were able to see more of Raccoon City, but due to hardware limitations at that time, the city mostly comprised of narrow alleyways and out of place do


Lickers may also possibly be returning in Resident Evil 3 Remake, since they are present in Resident Evil Resistance. Resident Evil's Lickers were not in the original Resident Evil 3 game, however. It is always a possibility we will see some exclusions, as well as new enemies, given that this transpired to a small degree in Resident Evil 2 Rema


In a recent leak of Resident Evil 3 Remake screenshots which unveiled themselves ahead of time, a new looking monster was revealed for Resident Evil 3 . It appears to look similarly to a mutated frog or reptile of sorts. It may be a new enemy type, but it also may be the Grave Digger, or, more likely, Resident Evil's Hunter Gamma , known in short as Hunter Y. Given the lighting is dark, it could possibly be the Grave Digger's head slithering out of the darkness. However, this would entail drastic design changes from the original des


Originally, the Condemned was to appear in the Orphanage portion of the game, possibly posing a threat to Sherry Birkin. It was scrapped, possibly because Capcom wanted to make Brian Irons the main threat to Sherry during this segment of the g


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 Nintendo Switch 2 Features , 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


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


The Hunter Beta, or just Hunter B, was a Bio-Organic Weapon developed by Umbrella Europe as part of the broader Hunter group of creatures created. Hunters are genetically-engineered by gratfting reptilian DNA to fertilized human embryos which are infused with the T-Virus, the latter of which both mutates and bonds the DNA of the two spec


Also shown in the unlocked concept art (above left) is another enemy that never made it to the final cut of the game, known as the Licker Zombie. It looks like a humanoid version of the four-legged Licker, or a zombie with a Licker's head, and similarly clawed hands. Given that Lickers are mutant humans infected with a particular strain of the T-Virus which can only be obtained from an already-mutated Zombie (known as the V-ACT process), it is possible that the Licker Zombie would have been a Licker that did not fully mutate yet and was only in its early sta


While not part of the main series, technically, Resident Evil: Code Veronica might as well be considered part of the overall inclusion, given its deep story and fairly strong integration into the main chronology of the series' lore and plot. Code Veronica presented one of the most unique and complex storylines in the Resident Evil series, which gave a ton of insight into another one of Umbrella Corporation's founders, Edward Ashford, and his family lineage. Code Veronica took players on a grand adventure that spanned Umbrella's Rockfort Prison island, all the way to their secret Antarctic facil

But Capcom could do well in considering any of these other titles, or plenty of others not listed. The original Street Fighter released in the 1980's is all but forgotten, the much acclaimed Okami , Power Stone , Ghosts 'n Goblins , other zombie games such as Dead Rising and others also could arguably be worthy additions for a handful of remakes by Capcom. With Resident Evil 3 Remake's release just around the corner, hopefully it will not be long before Capcom announces its next planned rem


Regardless, whether or not Capcom elects to resurrect Resident Evil 4 for newer hardware, it must be said that the company's love for its older games and dedication to seeing them endure the test of time is commendable. For the thousands of players who were too young or missed the boat on getting to experience the beginning of the franchise, this slate of remakes is an excellent way to recapture the essence of the original titles while also refining the series' formula and producing utterly exceptional produ
