DecemberDoes Resident Evil 4 Need a Remake?
Remake this timeless classic that people still replay for its expansive city and protagonist worthy of our admiration. This heavily inspired '90s gangster game is one of the greatest of all time and deserves a rem
Taking pros and cons for whether a Resident Evil 4 remake is necessary to one side, the game would also sell incredibly well for Capcom, which is surely a more corporate reason for the title to get a modern facelift. The fourth game remains a staple of its lineup (hence its constant re-releases on later platforms), meaning that it's no doubt a big moneymaker for the company and one that would succeed if eventually redesigned for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
Perhaps the safest approach for the time being may be sticking with the tried and tested by making more Resident Evil remakes, and both Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4 would be solid choices. Resident Evil 4 is one of the most renowned Resident Evil games and part of the main series. It would likely be the obvious choice for a remake among consideration of all the Resident Evil ga
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
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
One reason we love Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas so much (there's too many to count) is because of its character progression. Players can upgrade skills such as running speed and strength. No other Grand Theft Auto game has incorporated such as revolutionary system—and it may never happen ag
Of course, it would be easier for Capcom to just use the same formula that made Resident Evil 2 remake successful for Resident Evil 3 . However, the studio is aware of the fact that sequels should evolve from its predecessor, and this is exactly why Capcom introduced these changes to the remake . Towards the end of Resident Evil 2 remake , players will notice that the pace of the game is more intense and action-heavy, and Resident Evil 3 remake picks up exactly from that point. Looking at both games as a whole, Resident Evil 3 perfectly compliments Resident Evil 2 , which is what a good sequel should
However, with the popular recent releases of Dragon Quest 11, Persona 5, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Octopath Traveler and other JRPG classics such as Final Fantasy 7, Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana obtaining contemporary remakes, it may be a ripe moment worth capitalizing upon for Capcom to stake its claim to a portion of the revived JRPG market in North Amer
Well, Capcom could be in danger with this if they are not careful. In the last four years, we have seen a new Resident Evi l game, two remakes, and rumors of another new title. The RE2 remake felt special because RE7 was a comeback. Another remake could feel like overk
Following Sony's most recent State of Play event, it's finally official that Resident Evil 3 will be seeing a modern reimagining in early April next year. The iconic game has been the only thing on the minds of franchise veterans since the rampant success of the Resident Evil Nintendo Switch 2 features remake back in February, and while many forecasted that the game would be a major ways off, it turns out Capcom has its finger on the pulse when delivering the next big Resident Evil experie
Though the Lost Planet series never really solidified the much needed success of many of Capcom's other franchises, the first Lost Planet is regarded by many of its fans as the best in terms of overall story. The Lost Planet series has always been known for its high difficulty and challenge, and timing-based gameplay in learning the movement patterns and attack rhythms of each enemy, even before the term of Souls-like games were coi
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
When Capcom went back to the drawing board while remaking Resident Evil 2, it made complete sense. The original three games revolved around outdated game design, favoring restrictive tank controls and a fixed viewpoint instead of allowing players to pilot both their character and camera with relative ease. Instead of fully altering the world, story, or characters (all the elements which fans loved about Resident Evil 2), the remake restructures the game's obsolete design and transforms it into a horror experience built to thrive in 20
