The news surrounding _ Resident Evil 3 _ is not all too shocking though as Capcom has been releasing greatly successful titles, both critically and commercially, every year since around the start of the PS4 and Xbox One generation. Capcom’s resurgence as a great developer in the minds of fans only started in the past few years. Before then, shady business practices and generally unpopular development choices made for a difficult relationship between Capcom and its f
Though the reveal trailer was brief, a section of it showed a significant addition to the original story of _ Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, _ and there were a few moments that appeared to be from a cut-scene in the game held in first-person camera. With the exception of _ Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, _ first-person camera has not had any significant role in the ser
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
Another enemy from the original Resident Evil 2, which was left out of its remake, was the Giant Spider. In the case of Resident Evil 2 , these were not actually experiments created by Umbrella, but the natural result of spiders that had been accidentally infected by the T-Virus when Dr. Birkin caused its release into the underground sewers. They could be found in the sewers below Raccoon City during the break
**Resident Evil 3 ** was revealed during December’s State of Play broadcast and with it came a somewhat surprising amount of information. The game’s release date, pre-order bonuses, editions, and gameplay were all flux construct locations totk revealed in an impressively short amount of time. As with _ Resident Evil 2, _ the newly announced remake of _ Resident Evil 3 _ is being built on Capcom’s RE Engine which has also powered _ Devil May Cry 5 _ and _ Resident Evil 7: Biohazar
The fourth game is, after all, a staple of video game history. When it dropped back in 2005, it forever changing the landscape of survival horror and launched Resident Evil into the stratosphere, carving out the franchise's unwavering spot as one of the most important IP's in the history of the medium. In many ways, Resident Evil 4 is one of the core reasons that the series is still relevant enough to release AAA blockbuster remakes of its earlier games and have them sell like wildfire. In that regard, why isn't the game already in line for a glitzy, HD reimagining with the budget to match its transcendent leg
The developers also state that the Nemesis has more ways "to track down his target Jill Valentine" in the new remake. This sounds potentially similar to a design structure that would more closely resemble the way in which Alien: Isolation 's creature was programmed , and how it dynamically traverses the map through both a mixture of scripted appearances and random exploration using its
Given that players will be exploring Raccoon City itself rather than just one building, the remake will be introducing some sort of a fast travel system for players to get around the city. It appears that Jill Valentine will be able to utilize the subway system to visit various areas of the city, and the subway will be serving as some sort of a hub connecting the game's many locations. This feature is not present in the original 1999 title, although players were able to access a cable car. However, the cable car would only take them straight to the Clock Tower before it gets destroyed for g
The Giant Moth was created by Umbrella as a Bio Organic Weapon using the T-Virus , but was ultimately considered a failure because its weight and wingspan could not allow them to fly beyond a low-altitude hover above the gro
Of course, apart from a massive visual upgrade, Raccoon City in Resident Evil 3 remake will be more expansive, encouraging players to savor the city in ruins. However, Fabiano clarified that while players can do a little bit of exploration, Resident Evil 3 remake is not an open-world game . The upcoming title will still follow a strictly linear progression, but players can enter some shops and buildings and even interact with a few items in the game, which is something that cannot be done in the 1999 ti
From there, a Resident Evil 4 remake could continue making miniscule changes, but there's not really much else to tackle ideally. Resident Evil 4 's experience was already an incredibly well-balanced experience that any changes beyond the aforementioned may work to cheapen a remake in the spirit of the original game. Though Capcom has found success in implementing radical changes as well , it'd be interesting to see how a reimagining could be tackled for Resident Evil
