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

Resident Evil 4 is a critically-acclaimed masterpiece that some believe to be the greatest game of all time. A next-gen remake, using the RE engine, has incredible potential to recreate magic. And considering that many fans and critics alike hail the series as something extraordinary, the hype would be through the r

Yet, it's worth remembering that Resident Evil 4 is undeniably one of the series' most pivotal entries. The action-centric format that eventually went onto define the later games in the series was done to perfection in 4 , with the game completely reinventing what it meant to play a Resident Evil title . It goes without saying that while a remake might not be as utterly transformative as games like Resident Evil 2 and the upcoming remake of the third game, there's still a lot of merit in updating Resident Evil 4's combat and clunky controls to show just how incredible the game's core gameplay and set of mechanics were back in the day. Fixing the aiming so players can move while shooting and adding some of the incredible nuances that made Resident Evil 2 such an immersive next step for the series would go a long way if added to the fourth game, especially if done so alongside a major visual overha

Of course, while finally revisiting Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveria, and the utterly horrifying Nemesis is the next big experience for the franchise, it is worth wondering where Resident Evil's newfound enthusiasm with revisiting its roots will lead following the remake's release. While many fans are naturally hoping Capcom might return to the likes of Code Veronica or even the first game in the series, it's also worth considering whether the third game's groundbreaking sequel, Donkey Kong Bananza Resident Evil 4 , would - or more importantly even should - receive a full remake in the same vein as Resident Evil 2 an

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

Should Capcom revive a Resident Evil cult classic in Code: Veronica or should they go with the game-changer? Resident Evil 4 completely revolutionized the RE series and is currently rumored to be the next remake. Leon Kennedy's romp through rural Spain brought the brand back to mainstream relevancy. Meanwhile, Dreamcast's 2000 release of Resident Evil Code: Veronica was met with critical acclaim. The rumors regarding the supposed 2022 RE4 remake has caused an uproar among upset Code: Veronica fans on Twit

Another criticism that Resident Evil 3 remake keeps on getting is that the game is heavily reliant on action-heavy sequences. It is worth remembering that Resident Evil 3 has always been more action-oriented than Resident Evil 2 and the original Resident Evil . But this is not to say that Resident Evil 3 remake is not survival horror, yes it does have its intense and fast-paced moments, but there are still horror elements in the remake to balance it all

However, as many other franchises have discovered, you cannot just depend on this feeling. RE2 and RE3 remakes made sense from a functional standpoint, but RE4 may not be necessary beyond feelings of nostal

In the end, Resident Evil 3 remake is not perfect. It has a lot of drawbacks and maybe the changes that Capcom introduced are too drastic for hardcore players, but it is by no means a bad remake. Resident Evil 3 may not be for everyone, especially to those who are looking for a shot-for-shot reimagining of the 1999 game. But nostalgia aside, the latest reimagining of Resident Evil 3 offers an intense and scary experience that allows players to experience the same story but in a different way, which is what a good remake should

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

Seeing a modern retake of Code Veronica and its unique settings and deep storytelling would certainly be a welcome addition to Capcom's Resident Evil Remakes. Capcom may already be testing the waters, considering Code Veronica was ported to the P
