During her iconic comeback in 1999's Resident Evil 3 , players saw a hardened Jill Valentine. Her opening monologue alone showed her desire to take down Umbrella and bring justice to the deaths of her S.T.A.R.S. teammates. In this game, Capcom did a great job in portraying her as a member of an elite police squad, which was obvious in her more confident attitude in dealing with the Raccoon City outbreak , her reluctance to team up with the U.B.C.S., and the way she singlehandedly defeated Nemesis. In succeeding games, Capcom remained consistent with its portrayal of Jill, and many players knew her as a reliable partner to her comrades, but a nightmare to her enem
Code: Veronica originally released on the Sega Dreamcast in February 2000. This game is about five years older than RE4 which shows with the game's much more dated graphics. Meanwhile, RE4 has gotten remaster after remaster since its 2005 release. At the same time, Code: Veronica hasn't seen any graphical improvements since the HD re-release in 2
Rumors are flying that Capcom is planning to update this title with a remake. The popularity and reception of Resident Evil 2 and 3 , as well as Resident Evil 7 , has brought this on. Should they go ahead with it, or is this one not even worth touching? Check out our reasons for why this move makes sense, and also why Resident Evil 4 should be left al
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
It is worth remembering that Carlos and Mikhail are mercenaries hired by the Umbrella Corporation , which in Jill's eyes, makes them her sworn enemies. Of course, apart from Jill knowing that Umbrella is behind the Raccoon City disaster that killed most of the city's inhabitants, she also holds a grudge to the company for causing the deaths of her teammates. So at face value, Jill's tone with Carlos and Mikhail does appear mean-spirited, however, it does make sense given the context of the situat
Having said all that, is Capcom's portrayal of Jill in the remake different from the original? With everything we know so far, the answer to that would be yes, Capcom did take a different approach in Jill's personality, but the developers were still able to retain her overall character. She remains independent and capable, compassionate to others but tough on her enemies. Sure, she is a little bit sassier than her previous portrayals but her comebacks are always within rea
Whether or not Capcom can regain momentum remains to be seen, but it would be a shame to see such a great powerhouse of the industry go stale. However, it the company as a whole is not careful, that's exactly where it could end up. At the end of the day, i f Capcom does not start producing these classic games once more, then there will not be any great games to remake in the fut
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, Mario Odyssey inspiration 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
It’s certainly a concern, particularly when such care seems to be going towards the remakes and side projects that the company has in store. After all, Capcom has confirmed that fan feedback for Resident Evil 6 is helping to improve the development of the Resident Evil 2 remake . Although that's certainly a positive sign for the remake, given the ignominious reception that Resident Evil 6 received, one may wonder why that feedback is not being used for an entirely new ti
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
For fans of these classic titles, remastered and re-released games will no doubt prove hugely worthwhile. However, looking into Capcom’s original games of late, a lot has been found wanting, with a lacklustre critical response to some of the company’s most recent blockbusters. In short, some of Capcom’s output has been disappointing for fans who expect the level of quality that it has historically been able to prov
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
