Resident Evil 4 also stands as one of the most iconic and popular stories in the series to date, with the return of Leon and the establishment of an entirely new tone for the franchise becoming unanimously celebrated by the fanbase. There's no denying that the game features some of the best moments in the entire series so far, with Leon's first encounter with the game's horrifying villagers , the intense cabin assault, and his battle with the unstoppable Verdugo standing as a mere handful of the game's biggest highlights. It stands to reason that a tale this iconic in terms of both Resident Evil and gaming as a whole deserves to be touched up and re-released in modern-day, regardless of whether or not its original release still holds up under modern scrut

However, over recent years, fans have grown a little disheartened with Capcom’s general output. Some have criticized the company for resting on its laurels, and it’s easy to see where that observation comes from. After all, Capcom seems to have kept a large focus on remastered versions of old games, rather than fully embracing the new hardware at its dispo

Like Destiny , Bungie's Halo underwent a number of revisions before it became the genre-defining FPS powerhouse it is known as today. Originally, Halo was set to be a real-time strategy game, and then it became a third-person shooter that was going to launch for Mac and PC, not as an Xbox exclus

Like Borderlands , Conker's Bad Fur Day went through some major revisions that made it a much more unique and arguably more interesting game. Rare's original vision for it was that of a typical, kid-friendly 3D platformer in the vein of Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie , called Conker's Quest and later Twelve Tales: Conker 64 . These early versions of the Creative Game design even had Conker's girlfriend Berri as a playable character in stages that featured strategy gameplay, as well as split-screen co-op for the st

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

In the original game, dodging was a tad bit difficult to execute, especially when players have a limited view of what's happening on-screen due to the fixed camera angles. However, the Official Xbox Magazine reported that the remake's dodge mechanic will be more user-friendly, but of course, this could vary from player to pla

A good example of this is the way Brad Vickers died in Resident Evil 3 remake. In the original game, Brad died in front of Jill Valentine, after he was captured and killed by Nemesis. This scene soon became one of the most iconic and memorable deaths in the Resident Evil franchise, and surprisingly enough, Capcom decided not to include this in the remake. Instead, the 2020 reimagining finally gave Brad his redemption arc , allowing him to sacrifice his life to save Jill. Sure it's disappointing that Brad was killed by zombies instead of Nemesis, but the change made for a better story, making Brad's death more meaningful as compared to the original g

While not part of the main series, technically, Resident Evil: Code Veronica might as well be considered part of the overall inclusion, given its deep story and fairly strong integration into the main chronology of the series' lore and plot. Code Veronica presented one of the most unique and complex storylines in the Resident Evil series, which gave a ton of insight into another one of Umbrella Corporation's founders, Edward Ashford, and his family lineage. Code Veronica took players on a grand adventure that spanned Umbrella's Rockfort Prison island, all the way to their secret Antarctic facil

Donkey Kong is one of the most important video games of all time, introducing some of the industry's most popular characters, and helping Nintendo become an even bigger player in the North American video game market. Considering this, it's crazy to think that it all could have ended much differently, with Shigeru Miyamoto working on a licensed Popeye game instead of creating original charact

Without a shadow of a doubt, Capcom is a part of video game royalty. The company has been home to a number of the greatest gaming franchises of all time, bringing revolutionary titles to a wide variety of genres, from fighting games all the way through to survival horror. The publisher has solidified its place in the market through decades’ worth of quality, earning itself a place in the history of gam

But to balance it all out, and to retain the feel of previous Resident Evil games, Resident Evil 3 still has classic survival-horror elements as seen in the police station and hospital sequences of the game. When players get to control Carlos in the remake, they are taken back to the RPD and almost immediately, the overall vibe of the game changes from high-paced intense action to the claustrophobic nature of Resident Evil 2 . The same applies to the hospital and sewers part of the game, where players find themselves in a confined space, making every zombie, licker, and hunter, much more terrify
