NovemberResident Evil 4: 5 Things The Remake Needs To Change ( & 5 That Should Stay The Same)
In the larger picture of the universe, Resident Evil' s Umbrella , its research, and its past creations of bio-weaponry have usually played as the backbone of the series lore, history and dark world, even long after Umbrella shutdown. For example, after Resident Evil 4 , the next games, Resident Evil 5 and 6 , and even 7 to a degree, made Umbrella's dark past relevant to the current crisis' at hand in the ga
This significantly links the Las Plagas parasites in Resident Evil 4 to the series on a larger level, giving the story more meaning and definition in the Resident Evil timeline than it had previously. It even connects Resident Evil 4 to G-Virus in a strong way, which had a presence in both Resident Evil 1 and 2 in infecting Resident Evil 2's William Birkin , and birthing itself in Umbrella's human experiment: Lisa Tre
The removal of design decisions previously viewed as irksome would undermine so much of what Breath of the Wild managed to achieve, and the last thing I want to see is Nintendo steering its formula in a direction that abides by more traditional genre conventions. Assassin’s Creed and similar games of this ilk are arguably more akin to content mill, built to draw you in for hundreds of hours even if much of that time is filled with uninspired busywork. The time you spend with the game is what matters, and Breath of the Wild managed to challenge a system that has become increasingly tired in the eyes of players. Its sequel needs to continue chasing that ambition, and not compromise on its own design ethos.
If Resident Evil fans want to play Code Veronica so badly, they can still play the HD remaster. This 2011 release, survival Horror remakes although not visually perfect, is still a very fun game to play. Besides, the graphics aren't that outdated and still look quite pretty. The old-school vibe of fixed camera angles really brings back feelings of nostalgia that might be killed off in a rem
To better conceptualize this, Resident Evil 4 's Las Plagas parasites, which comprised all the game's enemies and the infected, as far as the original game was concerned, gave no hint that the parasites had any connection or history to Umbrella. Nor did the Los Iluminados terrorist group and its leadership have any link or mention in the Resident Evil timeline previously. Specifically, Los Iluminados had no connection to Umbre
Female characters parting with their hair has been a deliberate sign of growing maturity in media for decades, a changed appearance highlighting that women are willing to leave behind everything in service of something greater. Mulan is the most popular example, with the titular character cutting her gorgeous hair to join the army and assist her ignorant father. It's the opposite of Zelda’s situation - instead of pulling herself away from the royal family, Mulan is doing everything she can to preserve it. But the core motivation remains the same: these are two women who realise a sacrifice must be made, even if it means altering their appearance and walking away from a life of security.
Resident Evil's G-Virus was essentially a fusion of various T-Virus samples and the Nemesis parasite that were tested on Lisa Trevor over many years. The various T-Virus samples in her body caused her immune system to kill the Nemesis parasite and fuse with it, resulting in the accidental birth of the mighty G-Virus, which Umbrella removed from
Catra from She-Ra and The Princesses of Power and Amity Blight from The Owl House also change their hairstyles to serve their character development, whether that be accepting their own sexuality and leaving behind oppressive familial structures or welcoming those who once pushed you away and putting aside a toxic life of villainy. Once again, these are all female characters confronting a heteronormative society and fighting back against it, even if said worlds are fantastical in nature and far more eccentric than our own. If done right, characters can still be grounded and relatable, as their struggles become ones we can sympathise with. It’s beautiful, so perhaps there’s a reason this tried-and-true trope has so much staying power in modern media.
Resident Evil 4 uses a control scheme that many players consider to be dated. In a departure from more modern third-person shooter controls, the protagonist and fan-favorite character Leon can't strafe, with left or right inputs on the controller rotating him in place. While this might feel unintuitive at first, and it certainly takes a little bit of getting used to for new players, it's actually an important design cho
After Osmund Saddler, a mysterious bio-weapons research expert, shows up in Spain and revives the cult in Resident Evil 4 , he convinces the the 8th Castellan to give him access to the caves hosting the parasite creatures known as the Las Plagas, which he uses to infect the cultists. However, little is known about Osmund Saddlers background or history in Resident Evil's bio-weapons industry , or how he was drawn to Spain in the first place. This gives Capcom potentially plenty of drawing room to hopefully fit him into the Resident Evil timeline with more defining contr
