**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 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

_ Resident Evil 3 Collector’s Edition _ was also announced after the reveal of the game. Exclusively available at Gamestop for $179 (in North America), this edition comes with an 11 inch PVC figure of Jill Valentine complete with a Raccoon Police Department stand, similar to Leon’s figure in the Collector’s Edition for _ Resident Evil

Another aspect of Resident Evil 4 that was innovative for the time was its sense of scale, despite its linearity. Leon runs through rural Spanish villages, mineral mines, gothic castles, modern military installations, etc. Even in its 15-20 hour runtime, players travel to such an interesting variety of locales that the game is perceived to be much grander than it is. Even now, as the game creeps up to 15 years old, the Mario Kart World of Resident Evil 4 has a sense of sprawl balanced perfectly with its actual size. Now with modern technology allowing for higher graphical fidelity, a remake could see that scale expanded with larger highly detailed environments further beyond what the GameCube was capable of. Invoking that sense of scale that was so impactful in the original game would be perfect for a Resident Evil 4 rem

Furthermore, there are a few clues which may reveal a much more expansive version of Raccoon City's outdoor maps to explore. For example, the Collector's Edition of Resident Evil 3 's remake comes with an entire map of Raccoon City in detail. It also states it is a double sided map. While nothing is certain, one side could be a version of Downtown Raccoon City, and the other could be a more detailed map of Uptown, both of which were the outdoor maps in the original game in a much smaller size at the t

Furthermore, we hear Jill reflecting upon the overall situation in the background of the new trailer, as she complains, "It gets worse every night." This may indicate furthermore that the game will provide more insight into the previous days that led up to Resident Evil 3 's start-game, beginning September 28, 1

It also comes with an art book featuring various concept art and screenshots, a voucher code for the digital soundtrack to _ Resident Evil 3 _ (and the soundtrack to the online mode, _ Resident Evil Resistance _ ), and a double-sided map poster of Raccoon City. One side is a regular map while the other is the same map with markings and notes made by survivors of the outbreak. All of these items come packaged in a novelty _ Resident Evil _ safe-room item

Away from mobile development, Capcom is also not necessarily sticking to new guns. The company revealed that Resident Evil 4 , 5 , and 6 would be making their way to both PS4 and Xbox One , receiving a release for the most recent console generation. Capcom is looking even further to its past, too, with a full remake of Resident Evil 2 currently in the wo

The survivors will have to utilize various weapons and items while cooperating with each other to survive. There are three main objectives for the survivors to complete in sequence and once they successfully navigate the third area within the time limit, they will have

The objective of the game is either for the survivors to successfully escape before time runs out or for the Mastermind to stop them. The Mastermind uses multiple cameras through the facility map to keep surveillance on the survivors while utilizing different cards to spawn traps and monsters, such as zombies, zombie dogs, lickers, and even the Tyrant itself, Mr. X. The Mastermind can also control these monsters at certain poi

Yet again, however, it's not a game that is likely to set the pulse of any players racing, and gamers could hardly be blamed for suspecting that the title could fall flat upon release. If Capcom is to keep its position in the industry, then a level of innovation needs to be maintained. Perhaps the only sure-fire way to do this is to break this emphasis on remakes and spin-offs, particularly if brand new titles continue to fail to live up to expectati

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
