In truth, there are as many reasons why Resident Evil 4 should be the next game to receive a remake from the ground-up as there are counter-arguments as to why it's absolutely fine as is. Perhaps the biggest point in defense of the latter is that the game doesn't exactly falter when compared to modern standards. Granted, it might feel more restrictive than later entries in the series, with the game preventing players from moving while aiming and the controls feeling largely more rigid, but the core innovations Resident Evil 4 introduced back in 2005 remain integral to the formula to this
If the rumors are true, we could be seeing an RE8 game —and follow-up to RE7 —in 2021. This is earlier than what was initially predicted or discussed. Considering that the new consoles are set to hit next year as well, if RE4 was to come out for those systems as well, then it could take attention away from Capcom's newest Resident Evil stor
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
Following Sony's most recent State of Play event, it's finally official that Resident Evil 3 will be seeing a modern reimagining in early April next year. The iconic game has been the only thing on the minds of franchise veterans since the rampant success of the Resident Evil 2 remake back in February, and while many forecasted that the game would be a major ways off, it turns out Capcom has its finger on the pulse when delivering the next big Resident Evil experie
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, 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
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
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
Considering that the most recent remake in the series is 2020's Resident Evil 3 , it'd make sense that the following remake should be the next numbered title in the series. There's no need to confuse casuals with a non-numerical cult classic, especially when they can dive into something easily recognizable with proven commercial and critical succ
The first Devil May Cry was already redone once in the form of a reboot, on Playstation 3, PC and Xbox 360 in 2013, but to many fans, the reboot missed the mark with too much reliance on platforming and the new version of Dante simply was not well received. It may be worth remaking the original iteration of the Devil May Cry once again, but without rebooting the character himself or the story, and maintaining Devil May Cry's stylish characters from the original. Giving it the Resident Evil 2 Remake treatment by updating the overall gameplay engine and open world racing, but keeping the characters and story intact, may be the better route to initiate a second Remake done ri
In the end, Resident Evil 3 remake is not perfect. It has a lot of drawbacks and maybe the changes that Capcom introduced are too drastic for hardcore players, but it is by no means a bad remake. Resident Evil 3 may not be for everyone, especially to those who are looking for a shot-for-shot reimagining of the 1999 game. But nostalgia aside, the latest reimagining of Resident Evil 3 offers an intense and scary experience that allows players to experience the same story but in a different way, which is what a good remake should
With high-challenge Souls-like games gaining a foothold and proving to be popular in recent years, rebooting the Lost Planet franchise in such a landscape may prove to be a potential success, and if done right, the mech-theme and frozen alien-planet setting would certainly make it among the most unique in this action-adventure sub-ge
