Resident Evil 3: How to Dodge

Whether or not Capcom can regain momentum remains to be seen, but it would be a shame to see such a great powerhouse of the industry go stale. However, it the company as a whole is not careful, that's exactly where it could end up. At the end of the day, i f Capcom does not start producing these classic games once more, then there will not be any great games to remake in the fut

Back when RE4's released, additional characters that needed to be occasionally saved were annoying and a downright drain on enjoyment. An update could see developers do more with Ashley while making her more of a teammate and less of a bur

After all, new releases, be they brand new intellectual properties or sequels to core series, are the bread and butter of all game development teams. When it comes to the bottom line, that is where Capcom needs to keep the majority of its focus, and that is where the future classics will be coming from – not from remakes of games that have already been released several times o

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

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

Of course, while it may be disappointing to have these locations removed, it made Jill and Carlos' route to their escape more realistic than the original. Both the park and the graveyard only existed because they led to the dead factory, which is Umbrella's disposal facility . However, having such a facility that conducts illegal operations above ground is unrealistic, which is why a highly-sophisticated lab beneath the Hospital, which is also owned by Umbrella, makes more sense in the grand scheme of thi

After rumors of the RE4 remake made the rounds on Sunday, many fans were disappointed that Code Veronica wasn't getting the nod instead. The outcry was so significant that Code: Veronica began trending on Twitter despite there being no recent rumors regarding a potential remake. Despite this Dreamcast classic being overshadowed by the hype and success of RE4 , the game still has its passionate fanbase. And these fans are very vo

If the rumors are true, we could be seeing an RE8 game —and follow-up to RE7 —in 2021. This is earlier than what was initially predicted or discussed. Considering that the new consoles are set to hit next year as well, if RE4 was to come out for those systems as well, then it could take attention away from Capcom's newest Resident Evil stor

Code: Veronica embodies the survival horror franchise in ways RE4 never will. Beginning with Resident Evil 7 , Capcom has shown a survival horror resurgence with main title RE games. But, of course, the action-adventure RE games have also sold provably we

All in all, Street Fighter 5 has been a bit of a disaster for Capcom, with some even claiming that the game has essentially been released in an unfinished state . Unfortunately, it is far from the only flawed title to be released from Capcom’s stables. Although Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was well-received , and the Monster Hunter series has continued to maintain a very strong following, those stand-out classics that the company was known for seem to be drying

Street Fighter 5 released to some severe launch-day server issues , with many gamers unable to connect to the title’s vital multiplayer.
