How Resident Evil 4 Could Benefit From a Remake
In 2015, Capcom put out an HD port of _ Resident Evil _ on those respective platforms. Though it is not a remake from the ground up, that game reignited a desire among _ Resident Evil _ fans for Capcom to finally produce some remakes of the beloved franchise. Later that year, Capcom randomly announced that it would start production on a remake of _ Resident Evil 2. _ It seemed like Capcom was going to have something special in a couple of years. From 2018 to now, Capcom has made great successes in _ Monster Hunter World, _ the remake of _ Resident Evil 2, _ and _ Devil May Cry 5 _ among others, selling through several million units e
Additionally, the significant changes that Capcom introduced in Resident Evil 3 remake allowed players to experience the same story but in a different way. Unlike in Resident Evil 2 , Capcom was more liberal in shuffling around the sequences of events in Resident Evil 3 . A good number of locations from the original game such as the park, the graveyard, and the dead factory were removed in favor of a more expansive hospital and the introduction of NES
To put it into context, Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2’s horror elements were derived from the claustrophobic environments that players find themselves in. However, in Resident Evil 3 , horror comes from the fast-paced battles with Nemesis, making every encounter with the monster a near-death experience. This is why most of the action-heavy gameplay of the remake is seen with every Nemesis encounter, which makes sense due to the fact that Nemesis is much smarter and more menacing than Mr. X and the original Tyr
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
Another aspect of Resident Evil 4 that was innovative for the time was its sense of scale, despite its linearity. Leon runs through rural Spanish villages, mineral mines, gothic castles, modern military installations, etc. Even in its 15-20 hour runtime, players travel to such an interesting variety of locales that the game is perceived to be much grander than it is. Even now, as the game creeps up to 15 years old, the world of Resident Evil 4 has a sense of sprawl balanced perfectly with its actual size. Now with modern technology allowing for higher graphical fidelity, a remake could see that scale expanded with larger highly detailed environments further beyond what the GameCube was capable of. Invoking that sense of scale that was so impactful in the original game would be perfect for a Resident Evil 4 rem
From there, a Resident Evil 4 remake could continue making miniscule changes, but there’s not really much else to tackle ideally. Resident Evil 4 ‘s experience was already an incredibly well-balanced experience that any changes beyond the aforementioned may work to cheapen a remake in the spirit of the original game. Though Capcom has found success in implementing radical changes as well , it’d be interesting to see how a reimagining could be tackled for Resident Evil
It is true that the TX-28 MicroFusion pack used to power the armor’s hydraulics isn’t exactly the safest option, but then, this is a series whose premise is based on the irresponsible use of nuclear technology. Unlike most entries on this list, both the T-51b and its predecessor Star Wars Jedi Survivor , the T-45d power armor are seen multiple times, worn in number by members of the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave. Normally that might harm the armor’s novelty factor, but even with the extra training required to operate it, nothing beats the stares when entering a r

The looks that are commonly viewed as the face of Bloodborne are perfectly encompassed in this armor set. The Yharnam Hunter set represents all that Bloodborne is. It’s a fantastic attire for beginners, cheap to get at the start of the game, and with decent stats . Its value mainly comes from how iconic it became and how long many players treasured this armor throughout their playthrough. But even without the sentimental approach, the Yharnam Hunter look is as cool as it g
Though Devil May Cry never really fizzled out, it is safe to say that the recent release of the much acclaimed Devil May Cry 5 injected new life into the series and not only brought back old fans, but attracted plenty of new fans as well. Given the introduction of new fans to the franchise, a remake of the original Devil May Cry may be in or
