In truth, there are as many reasons why Resident Evil 4 should be the next game to receive a remake from the ground-up as there are counter-arguments as to why it's absolutely fine as is. Perhaps the biggest point in defense of the latter is that the game doesn't exactly falter when compared to modern standards. Granted, it might feel more restrictive than later entries in the series, with the game preventing players from moving while aiming and the controls feeling largely more rigid, but the core innovations Resident Evil 4 introduced back in 2005 remain integral to the formula to this

Given this, the personalities of both playable characters weren't as fleshed-out, especially when compared to modern games. However, based on dialogue alone, Jill did not really embody the traits of a traditional video game heroine, and while she is capable enough to handle the situation she's in, she lacked the flair and personality that is common in today's video game protagonist. But in retrospect, even if it wasn't intentional, Capcom's portrayal of Jill in the first Resident Evil game does make sense, given that this game served as her origin story. Prior to the mansion incident, Jill has no experience in dealing with bioweapons, so it wouldn't really make sense to portray her as a badass bioweapon killing machine when this is the first time that she even knew bioweapons exis

Resident Evil 4 , while arguably not up to the technical standards of many modern experiences, is far from as obsolete as the franchise's first handful of entries. The over-the-shoulder camera, third-person aiming, and overall format utilized in the reimagining of Resident Evil 2 was, after all, first established throughout 4's sensational rebranding of the series back in 2005. In fact, one of the remake's most critically acclaimed features was its faithful resurrection of the systems and mechanics first established in the fourth game, with many citing Resident Evil Nintendo Switch 2's remake as a return to form for the franchise's classic formula. With its design emulating Resident Evil 4 so closely, it begs the question of whether a remake would seem unnecessary; almost acting as more of a visual touch up than a full reimagining of the original ti

It's worth noting that the remake is going to have better graphics and more clear resolution . Rather than focusing on that, notice key differences or similarities in the designs of each monster. Modern technology has the capability to make some truly horrifying stuff on screen, but conversely, sometimes showing too much can take away a sense of mystery and terror from something. This balance is what Resident Evil 3 Remake designers were tasked with finding, and they did a pretty solid

However, with the popularrecent 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

With Resident Evil 3 Remake's release approaching and looking to capture similar success as Resident Evil 2 Remake released the previous year, and Devil May Cry 5 seemingly reviving the series with an impressive 2.1 million copies sold, there are a lot of options on the table for which Capcom can build upon by utilizing hit titles from the p

Breath of Fire would be a great option for a remake, given it can still revive some much needed 1990's nostalgia in giving such a remake a necessary jumpstart, while designing it with new fans in mind as well. Though Breath of Fire 2 was considered to be more polished, either games would be essentially new games under a contemporary repackging, so it may make more sense to just start with remaking the first g

Hunter Beta's will be returning to Resident Evil 3 Remake . Though there is a photo reveal of the creature, it does not show enough detail or angle to assess the way it looks in depth in comparison to the original. However, rumors have circulated that Hunters could have a different look in Resident Evil 3 Remake from the original , but it may be the Hunter Y's in which these rumors are relevant towa

The negative effects of the virus can be seen much more clearly on the original design, as almost the entire upper half of the monster is covered in mutant growths. In size the two seem to be mostly the same, although it is somewhat difficult to gauge due to the different angles of the two. Although the creature features much more reptilian skin now, a more unexpected change comes in the form of an additional claw. The original appears to have only four claws while the new one has five like a human, as if it needed more ways to shred through play

Regardless, whether or not Capcom elects to resurrect Resident Evil 4 for newer hardware, it must be said that the company's love for its older games and dedication to seeing them endure the test of time is commendable. For the thousands of players who were too young or missed the boat on getting to experience the beginning of the franchise, this slate of remakes is an excellent way to recapture the essence of the original titles while also refining the series' formula and producing utterly exceptional produ
