Chronologically, Resident Evil 4 takes place six years after Resident Evil 2 's Raccoon City epidemic. Players are in control of protagonist Leon S. Kennedy, but this time around, Leon is working directly for the President of the United States. Leon heads to Spain, which is where President Graham's daughter is reportedly miss

In the first ten minutes of Resident Evil 3 alone, it is already apparent that the remake is significantly different than the original game. It is obvious that Capcom knows that players are anticipating to see some of the iconic moments from the original game, and in a very gutsy move, decides to cut all of those out, surprising players when things don't go the way they did in the original. This may be disappointing to some, but reworking the game in its entirety allowed both new and veteran players a fresh and new way to experience the game, and at the same time, providing a better and stronger p

Whether or not they agree that revisiting Resident Evil 4 should be the next major step for the series going forward, nobody can deny that Capcom 's work over the last few years is quickly ushering in an incredibly bright future for the franchise going forward. Here's to hoping that Resident Evil 3 will be yet another stellar stepping stone to more incredible Resident Evil games in the future, whether that leads to a remake of the fourth game or a new title entir

Remakes are all about revamping our favorite games from the previous decades. When we think of overdue video game remakes, one that comes to mind is Super Mario 64 . The best-selling game on the Nintendo 64 was a hit with fans everywh

Resident Evil 4 represents a completely different challenge compared to the recently released remakes. Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 both initially came out on the first PlayStation console way back in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Sony's first console didn't have the luxury of rendering highly complex character models or 3D environments, storing larger amounts of data, and any other modern conveniences games from the mid-to-late 2000s onward have. Resident Evil 4 came out for the GameCube in 2005, and though it wasn't necessarily the first fully dimensional Resident Evil game, it was the first to take advantage of next-generation hardware to craft a highly detailed wo

Remaking Resident Evil 4 poses an interesting opportunity for Capcom, an undertaking very different in comparison to remaking the classic Resident Evil titles. Considering the technical gap from the original PlayStation to current-gen consoles is gigantic, Resident Evil 2 and 3 received a lot of love for their respective reimaginings. The fourth Resident Evil game is still widely considered a relatively modern entry in the series, despite showing its age in several aspects. Capcom's development team could strike the perfect balance of new and old in giving one of the best Resident Evil titles a proper reimagin

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 official www.adventuregamesfans.com blog 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

Apart from the many new changes that will be introduced in Resident Evil 3 remake's Raccoon City, it appears that Capcom is also committed to making the town feel familiar to fans who have played the original game. Fabiano revealed that there will be tons of easter eggs lying around the city, and some eagle-eyed fans have already identified a few based on recent trailers and gameplay footage of the upcoming g

Capcom has had quite the resurgence lately, coming off huge wins from the success of Devil May Cry 5 and Monster Hunter World, but an even larger contributor to Capcom's run has come from the Resident Evil series. Both Resident Evil 2 Remake and more recently Resident Evil 3 Remake have seen massive success, showing that the franchise that many fans decided had lost its way was finally making a comeback, even if some are fully satisfied with RE3 . It seems Capcom wishes to keep the ball rolling, as reports have begun popping up that Resident Evil 4 is on deck for the next overh

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 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
