Back in 2001, Crytek developed the CryEngine for Nvidia. To show off its new technology, Crytek created a tech demo of a game called X-Isle: Dinosaur Island that featured a variety of prehistoric creatures stomping around in the wo
To those who are not so well-versed in Resident Evil's long history, Jill Valentine is one of the first playable characters in Resident Evil, and many claim that she is also the first female playable character in a survival-horror game. When Capcom first introduced Jill, she is described as a capable police officer, whose strengths include her compassionate nature, a strong sense of justice, and her ability to work well under extreme pressure. It is fairly difficult to go in-depth on Jill's personality during the first Resident Evil game, since she barely had any, given that Capcom's priority at this point in Resident Evil's history was to introduce strong survival-horror gamep
Well, Capcom could be in danger with this if they are not careful. In the last four years, we have seen a new Resident Evi l game, two remakes, and rumors of another new title. The RE2 remake felt special because RE7 was a comeback. Another remake could feel like overk
Yes, there are parts in the game that are startling and downright creepy. But whether it was the fact that fixed camera angles were gone or the horde of parasite-infested visitors, this RE4 game moved forward on what started with RE3 —a greater reliance on the action-oriented play and mowing down enem
Similar to the 2019 remake of its predecessor, Resident Evil 3 remake is set to bring a lot of new things to the reimagining of the 1999 game. Ever since the announcement of Resident Evil 3 back in December of last year, Capcom has been generous enough to give fans a peek at what to expect in the upcoming game, which includes a major Gen'dai Species overhaul of the game's protagonist, Jill Valentine. But with physical redesigns aside, is Capcom's portrayal of Jill Valentine in the remake still the same with the origi
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
However, it looks like this game franchise could be a victim of attrition and "falling interest." It's the same reason why 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
In 2005, Capcom went on to help once again redefine the survival horror genre with Resident Evil 4 . This game solidified the Resident Evil franchise as legendary and inspired many copycats. It almost feels too good to be improved upon, which contributes to the current discuss
Back when RE4's released, additional characters that needed to be occasionally saved were annoying and a downright drain on enjoyment. An update could see developers do more with Ashley while making her more of a teammate and less of a bur
When you look at what was possible with Mr. X and Nemesis, it is pretty cool to think about how stellar the AI would be in a new RE4 game that also heavily depends on sinister and relatively intelligent enem
Bringing back such a game ahead of its time means Resident Evil 4 's remake has a lot to live up to. That's precisely why Capcom has to perform a very delicate balancing act if Capcom intends to truly remake Resident Evil 4 in the flavor of its most recent remakes. A lot of what the original game introduced to the world of games has now become commonplace for third-person shooters, survival horror games, and other genres in general. That being said, there are plenty of quality-of-life updates Resident Evil 4 deserves that a remake could achieve thanks to innovations made in games from the past dec
Let's just be real here. While the RE2 and RE3 remakes are well-done and are an improvement on the originals, one of the reasons they are highly regarded does have to do with nostalgia. The feeling you get when you play a game from long ago can make you have strong feelings for
Another possibility is that it was a new type of Licker mutated from a zombie itself, rather than a human host. In other words, if a regular Licker is conceived from a live human host, the Licker Zombie may have been the result of converting, or applying the V-ACT process, on a zom
Of course, some may argue that Carlos and Mikhail are mere mercenaries of Umbrella and are not responsible for the Raccoon City outbreak. While that argument is valid, it is worth pointing out that in today's Jill Valentine-centered trailer , it was revealed that Jill herself realized this later in the game, and even started to apologize to Carlos. The trailer also showed how Jill and Carlos's relationship improved, and how they started to rely on each other to survive the outbreak. This goes to show that after realizing that Carlos was not deeply involved with Umbrella, Jill started treating him like a partner, showing that her sarcastic remarks earlier in the game were not made for the sake of appearing mean-spiri
