Other rumors suggest Resident Evil 4 will get the remake treatment next. Is that necessary? It has been ported numerous times in various HD quality enhancements. That said, some things cannot be fixed with mere graphical makeovers. So if the game really is getting remade , here are some things Capcom should, and should not, do with

Spectacle is all well and good, but it’s short-lived, and doesn’t stick in your mind like the haunting corridors of Raccoon City Police Station. I’m not going to remember the Lady Dimitrescu boss battle for years to come, but Leon’s first hesitant steps into Raccoon City are already cemented into my mind. Resident Evil 4 is filled with moments like this. Despite being a rollercoaster ride of gunfights and boss battles, it never fails in making you feel vulnerable. Leon could have a fully upgraded arsenal at his disposal, but not taking his surroundings into account would lead to an untimely de

While this entire series has some commonalities with Studio Ghibli’s works, certain titles have Ghibli’s magic more than others. Those titles are Dominion of the Dark Djinn and Wrath of the White Witch. Those two particular games are worth checking out because their animated sequences were created by Studio Ghi

In the mid-2000s, everybody and their mothers wanted to add in quick time events. It was supposed to immerse players more. While they still exist today, Chronological Mode gaming a lot of companies have learned not to be so strict with prompts meaning that a missed button press or two won’t result in a game o

Since then, shops have opened up in other games, usually through New Game+ modes. While it might be tempting to just do that again without clerks, they shouldn’t get rid of The Merchant. His warping around may not make sense but he is as big a part of the game as Leon

Firstly, graphical overhauls are to be expected, and if M-Two is leading the development of Resident Evil 4 Remake , it is possible they may also be using the same game engine that was used in Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake , as well as other Capcom games. Though the original Resident Evil 4 is more action-packed than the smooth and precise controls offered by those two recent Resident Evil remakes, the new engine could certainly accommodate and scale it in order to ensure it can still keep up in a more action-driven environm

To refresh, the original Resident Evil 4 took place in Spain, where a terrorist group known as the Los Iluminados utilized parasites seemingly living in their natural habitat inside a Spanish cave. Members of Los Iluminados willingly infected themselves with these parasites, known as the Las Plagas, in order to mutate themselves into powerful monstrosit

If she gets hit, she is pretty much dead meaning that players need to waste valuable healing items on her due to bad AI’s tactics. There’s got to be a better way to implement her in the remake like negating damage like Ellie in The Last of

This train of thought originates from the remake of Resident Evil 3, which was a painfully underwhelming successor to the phenomenal remake of Resident Evil 2. The latter was one of Capcom’s best games in years, ushering in a new era of survival horror brilliance that I was confident it would build upon. With the arrival of Resident Evil 3 and Village, it seems it is opting for an action-oriented approach that won’t risk alienating those who aren’t willing to negotiate with horror. It’s the smart move, but creatively, it feels like a hollow one. Resident Evil is at its weakest when the action ramps up, giving way to adequate gunplay instead of allowing its atmosphere and monsters to do the heavy lift

Don’t get me wrong, Leon in Resident Evil 4 isn’t to be trifled with, but even as the game enters its final act, Capcom keeps finding new horrors to surprise you with. Upon entering Umbrella’s labs, we stumble upon the Regenedors for the first time. These horrific, grey-skinned beasts are initially unstoppable, marching slowly toward you as otherworldly growls leave their infected lips. The only option is to run, or open fire and pray there is some way to bring this thing down. There isn’t, not until you come across the thermal scope and uncover the secret behind its impossible power. Scares force you to think smartly and find immediate solutions, instead of pulling out your shotgun and blowing your problems a

Suffice to say, Resident Evil 4 has definitely shown its age. Given that Resident Evil 4 was both a unique detour for the Resident Evil series, as well as one of the best overall action games of that era, a Resident Evil 4 Remake certainly has some big shoes to fill if it is to ignite the necessary nostalgia, while also creating something refreshingly

This revelation not only ties a potential Resident Evil 4 Remake closer into the fabric of Resident Evil’s universe and timeline, but Resident Evil 4 Remake could also provide a lot of possible background information and insights into the creation of the Nemesis in Resident Evil 3, specifically the mysterious parasite that helped create the Nemesis in Umbrella’s European facilities. The origins of this Nemesis parasite will hopefully be addressed in Resident Evil 4 Rema
