Overall, it is evident based on recent information released that Resident Evil 3' s map will be much more expansive than its original counterpart. Given this, it is interesting to see whether the more vibrant Raccoon City would also bring additional storylines that could center around other characters such as Brad Vickers, Mikhail Viktor, Dario Rosso, or even perhaps other unknown citizens of the doomed city. Luckily, players will soon be able to experience Raccoon City themselves with a playable Resident Evil 3 demo coming out soon , followed by the game's release date shortly af

One look at Capcom’s projects in-progress also backs up these claims. The company has just unveiled plans to enter into the mobile market with gusto , but rather than focusing on brand new intellectual properties, instead some of the first mobile titles of this new strategy will be based on beloved franchises such as Mega Man and Monster Hunter . Meanwhile, fans after a brand new and full Mega Man release are still left wanting – and have been so for years

Away from mobile development, Capcom is also not necessarily sticking to new guns. The company revealed that Resident Evil 4 , 5 , and 6 would be making their way to both PS4 and Xbox One , receiving a release for the most recent console generation. Capcom is looking even further to its past, too, with a full remake of Resident Evil 2 currently in the wo

It's also worth taking into account that Resident Evil 4 isn't exactly hard to get hold of in 2019, with ports of the sequel making their way to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Wii, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, the Nintendo Switch , PC, and even mobile. If fans want to revisit Leon's high-octane adventure to rescue the president's daughter from the clutches of the undead, they don't even need to dust off their long-forgotten PlayStation 2's to jump right back

This team contributed to the development of RE3 and is made up of developers that have worked for Capcom in the past. Meanwhile, Shinji Mikami, the director of the original game, has been reported to give his blessing on this title. If Mikami is comfortable with who is at the helm, then it must mean they have some great id

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

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

For RE4 , even though the graphics aren't as sharp as today's, it still relatively holds up. The characters are easy to make out, and the settings aren't terrible. It also just received a 2016 HD remaster. Does this game really need the pol

One returning location that players will be able to explore is the Stagla gas station from the 1999 game. Resident Evil 3 veterans would remember that it is in the gas station where the oil can be found, which has to be mixed with an oil additive before it can be used to restart the cable car. Players would also remember that immediately after leaving the area, the gas station would blow up, and it will be interesting to see whether this will also happen in the rem

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 pauline 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

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
