Resident Evil 3 Remake’s Map Sounds Far More Impressive Than the Original
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
Bringing back such a game ahead of its time means Resident Evil 4 ‘s remake has a lot to live up to. That’s precisely why Capcom has to perform a very delicate balancing act if Capcom intends to truly remake Resident Evil 4 in the flavor of its most recent remakes. A lot of what the original game introduced to the world of games has now become commonplace for third-person shooters, survival horror games, and other genres in general. That being said, there are plenty of quality-of-life updates Resident Evil 4 deserves that a remake could achieve thanks to innovations made in games from the past dec
Resident Evil Code: Veronica is one of the top selling and best reviewed games on the Dreamcast. In 2020, its cult following is strong enough to make Code Veronica a top trending topic on Twitter. When rumors suggested that RE4 was next in line for a reboot, fans of the famed Dreamcast game voiced their frustrations and got the attention of the gaming press. The Cult of Code Veronica will not be silen
Code: Veronica originally released on the Sega Dreamcast in February 2000. This game is about five years older than RE4 which shows with the game’s much more dated graphics. Meanwhile, RE4 has gotten remaster after remaster since its 2005 release. At the same time, Code: Veronica hasn’t seen any graphical improvements since the HD re-release in 2
In the world of business, it’s all about the money. This rings true with video games, too! Although Code: Veronica was able to deliver within the 3 million unit range, it still doesn’t compare to the financial success of RE4 . But in all fairness, Resident Evil 4 was ported to too many devices to count on hand. Although estimates may vary, the number of units RE4 sold could fall somewhere within the 8-to-9 million range, if we include the downsized mobile ports, the latest Switch port, and the PC versions along with the earlier console versi
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 Amiibo release and full Mega Man release are still left wanting – and have been so for years
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
Starting with the new enemy type that was cut from the game, and neither was it ever in the original, is the Condemned (above right). It is a humanoid enemy type, and its concept art can be unlocked within the game by finishing the Genius Chemist record, which is achieved by completing the puzzle in the Drug Testing Lab in a total of 9 moves in Leon or Claire’s st
Should Capcom revive a Resident Evil cult classic in Code: Veronica or should they go with the game-changer? Resident Evil 4 completely revolutionized the RE series and is currently rumored to be the next remake. Leon Kennedy’s romp through rural Spain brought the brand back to mainstream relevancy. Meanwhile, Dreamcast’s 2000 release of Resident Evil Code: Veronica was met with critical acclaim. The rumors regarding the supposed 2022 RE4 remake has caused an uproar among upset Code: Veronica fans on Twit
Finally, the concept art (above bottom) also shows some sort of mutated humanoid in a wheel chair wearing a lab coat. In the picture, the humanoid is wearing a lab coat, suggesting he was probably an Umbrella employee that had undergone experiments on himself, possibly. it also shows him pressing buttons on the remote control for his electric wheel chair, suggesting that he has retained some of his former intellige
