One returning location that players will be able to explore is the Stagla gas station from the 1999 game. Resident Evil 3 veterans would remember that it is in the gas station where the oil can be found, which has to be mixed with an oil additive before it can be used to restart the cable car. Players would also remember that immediately after leaving the area, the gas station would blow up, and it will be interesting to see whether this will also happen in the rem
If Capcom wants to get to the root of what initially made the RE series special, they should stick along the survival horror route. The recent remake of Resident Evil 3 already brings fans into a horror/action-adventure hybrid. With a RE4 remake, Capcom would be venturing even further away from the survival horror set
However, it looks like this game franchise could be a victim of attrition and "falling interest." It's the same reason why not find out more 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
With no shortage of kid-friendly platformers on the market, Rare needed an angle for its game to stand out. It eventually decided to rework Twelve Tales: Conker 64 into an adult-oriented game with dark comedy, foul language, blood, gore, drugs, booze, and sexual innuendos gal
The game is also bursting with depth in every aspect of its design as a video game. From the core shooting mechanic to challenging dungeons and puzzles, incremental but satisfying weapon progression, heavily varied environment design, a well-balanced rising difficulty, and even some more miniscule details bring this game to life greater than many at the time. And it didn't have to be a 40-60 hours long experience to feel like players got their money's worth. Very few games felt like such a complete package as Resident Evil 4 did; Resident Evil 4 pioneered a lot for modern video games , not just the series its
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
Overall, it is evident based on recent information released that Resident Evil 3' s map will be much more expansive than its original counterpart. Given this, it is interesting to see whether the more vibrant Raccoon City would also bring additional storylines that could center around other characters such as Brad Vickers, Mikhail Viktor, Dario Rosso, or even perhaps other unknown citizens of the doomed city. Luckily, players will soon be able to experience Raccoon City themselves with a playable Resident Evil 3 demo coming out soon , followed by the game's release date shortly af
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, 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
One feature that is lacking from Resident Evil 4 is the ability to run and shoot at the same time. This feature was later introduced in RE6 , while RE4 relied on a "stop and pop" mechanic rather than "run and g
The Big N was unable to secure the necessary licensing rights for Popeye in time, so Miyamoto set to work on a game that mirrored the Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Bluto dynamic from the comic strips. Miyamoto ultimately ended up replacing them with Mario, Pauline, and Donkey Kong, respectiv
Another aspect of Resident Evil 4 that was innovative for the time was its sense of scale, despite its linearity. Leon runs through rural Spanish villages, mineral mines, gothic castles, modern military installations, etc. Even in its 15-20 hour runtime, players travel to such an interesting variety of locales that the game is perceived to be much grander than it is. Even now, as the game creeps up to 15 years old, the world of Resident Evil 4 has a sense of sprawl balanced perfectly with its actual size. Now with modern technology allowing for higher graphical fidelity, a remake could see that scale expanded with larger highly detailed environments further beyond what the GameCube was capable of. Invoking that sense of scale that was so impactful in the original game would be perfect for a Resident Evil 4 rem
