Personality-wise, Capcom did introduce some slight changes to Jill Valentine in the upcoming remake. In previous trailers, gameplay previews, and the RE 3 playable demo , it is evident that Capcom has increased Jill's badass traits as compared to previous Resident Evil games. In the opening sequence of the demo alone, we saw Jill make sarcastic comments during a conversation with Carlos Oliveria and Mikhail Viktor. Of course, looking at it closely, the spirit of the scene remains consistent with that of the original. The U.B.C.S. asked to partner with Jill, she was reluctant at first, but she agreed anyway knowing that it would increase the chances of her survi
Hunters are a deadly monster made through combining reptilian DNA to a human embryo, a process which only is successful with the help of the T-Virus as a bonding agent. The result is both mammal and reptile, and usually not very happy. The Hunter Beta was a modification on the Hunter Alpha , and features better reaction time but less power and hindered eyesi
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
After rumors of the RE4 remake made the rounds on Sunday, many fans were disappointed that Code Veronica wasn't getting the nod instead. The outcry was so significant that Code: Veronica began trending on Twitter despite there being no recent rumors regarding a potential remake. Despite this Dreamcast classic being overshadowed by the hype and success of RE4 , the game still has its passionate fanbase. And these fans are very vo
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 The original three games revolved around outdated game design, favoring restrictive tank controls and a fixed viewpoint instead of allowing players to pilot both their character and camera with relative ease.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
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
Another important part of the Grand Theft Auto formula came about by complete accident. Apparently, cops weren't meant to chase players off the road, but they started to do so due to a glitch in the programming. This glitch reportedly led to the "Wanted" system that is still used to this day in the latest entry in the series, Grand Theft Auto
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
While it's hard to say how this version of Borderlands would have fared, the released game's uniqueness certainly helped it stand apart in the sea of drab shooters that dominated last generation. So, one has to imagine it may not have drawn quite the same amount of attention as it did if it retained the style the developers originally had in m
Donkey Kong is one of the most important video games of all time, introducing some of the industry's most popular characters, and helping Nintendo become an even bigger player in the North American video game market. Considering this, it's crazy to think that it all could have ended much differently, with Shigeru Miyamoto working on a licensed Popeye adventure game online guide instead of creating original charact
It's worth noting that the remake is going to have better graphics and more clear resolution . Rather than focusing on that, notice key differences or similarities in the designs of each monster. Modern technology has the capability to make some truly horrifying stuff on screen, but conversely, sometimes showing too much can take away a sense of mystery and terror from something. This balance is what Resident Evil 3 Remake designers were tasked with finding, and they did a pretty solid
