The exploration in this world is a blast, with players discovering several new areas, tackling a host of powerful enemies, and gathering materials to expand their settlement. This, coupled with multiplayer gameplay and mod support, leads to a title that players will be enamored with for hours on
Shortly after its release, the Resident Evil 2 remake received glowing reviews from fans and critics, and it even outsold the lifetime sales of the original game . This goes to show that staying faithful, even when some of the events have been reshuffled, is an important factor for a remake’s success. Another thing that fans loved about the RE2 remake is the addition of new storylines and the re-writing of some of the characters and events that all made sense in the grand scheme of things. In the end, the Resident Evil KOTOR 2 Restoration Project remake is undoubtedly Capcom’s most profitable
Back in 2002, Capcom developed a remake of the first Resident Evil game , which was led by series creator Shinji Mikami when he was still employed at Capcom. The remake was first released to the Nintendo GameCube, however, which proved to be a fatal move on Capcom’s part given that most Resident Evil games were always released on a PlayStation console. Given this, most fans of Resident Evil were transitioning from the original PlayStation to the PlayStation 2, which is a key factor as to why the game had lackluster sales during its initial rele
Their movies have inspired other creators, including those who make video games. After all, both anime and video games are part of Japan’s major international influence. Video game writers and developers have captured in some of their games the same essence of laid-back fantasy as Ghibli films often have. Some of these games are well-known, while others are hidden ge
Not long after the release of Resident Evil 3 Remake , speculation turned into rumors that Resident Evil 4 Remake was already in the works and would be released after Resident Evil 8 . The first rumors claimed that the remake had been in development since 2018 and that Capcom was planning to release the game in 2022. M-Two, who previously helped with Resident Evil 3 , is leading the development ccording to these rumors and will be supported by Capcom’s internal Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry V teams, giving the game a larger development team than both of the previous remak
Announced for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC, Resident Evil: Village is a next-generation exclusive and will launch in 2021. The game will be a direct sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and follows returning protagonist Ethan Winters as he’s thrust into a brand new nightmare a few years after Ethan and Mia were rescued from the Baker family by Chris Redfield and Blue Umbrella . Longtime series protagonist Chris Redfield will also return for Resident Evil: Village , teased to be playing a potential villain role and sets off a new chain of events that land Ethan in a mysterious medieval village somewhere in Eur
In the end, if Capcom is truly developing a remake of Resident Evil 4 , then it stands to be the best one out of all the remakes, given the experience Capcom has gained with the reimaginings of the first three Resident Evil games. Additionally, the Resident Evil 4 remake is rumored to release at least a year after Resident Evil 8 so Capcom could also use that game as a testing ground on what works and what doesn’t even if RE8 is an original game. As of the moment, it is still unclear where the rumored Resident Evil 4 remake will be released but it is likely that it will see the light of day on next-generation platforms alongside the
Ever since the release of the Resident Evil 3 remake earlier this year, fans of the survival horror franchise have been wondering which game will be re-imagined next. Although there is still no official confirmation from Capcom, several leakers are claiming that Resident Evil 4 will be Capcom’s next remake after the release of Resident Evil 8 sometime next year. Of course, given the popularity of Resident Evil 4 , it is no surprise that this would be the next game that Capcom is eyeing to remake in the fut
A remake of Resident Evil 4 feels very different now I’ve played through the entirety of Resident Evil Village . The first-person sequel is essentially a modern successor to the survival-horror masterpiece, adapting many of its ideas and mechanics for a new audience. It’s a campy, overblown adventure filled with over-the-top villains and nonsensical plot developments that ape the series’ finest hour, even if it sacrifices many of its own ideas in the process. Now, unless this rumoured remake completely overhauls the original vision, I can’t help but think it might end up feeling obsol
But, assuming that Resident Evil 4 remake is in the works, how should Capcom approach its re-imagining? Well, given that Resident Evil 4 will be the fourth major remake of a mainline Resident Evil game, it stands to be one of the best. The reason for this is that Capcom has already remade the first three Resident Evil games, with each game giving the studio feedback from fans and critics on which elements of the remake did or did not work. Now, based on the reception of each of the Resident Evil remakes, here are the lessons that Capcom should implement in the development of Resident Evil
