However, the one thing that disappointed fans the most is the content of the original that never made it to the remake. Several locations such as the Raccoon City park, the Undead factory, and the Clock Tower were either scrapped, replaced, or unexplored. A few enemies such as the giant worm, spiders, and many more were also not featured in the remake. Of course, the overall plot is still the same, but fans were not happy that the Resident Evil 3 remake was split in two with the first half being the main game, and the second half featuring Resident Evil Resistance, which some fans blame to be the reason for Resident Evil 3’s demise. Despite the criticisms though, Capcom said that while the commercial performance of Resident Evil 3 remake pales in comparison to its predecessor, it is what the studio expected, given that RE2 has always been more popular than R
RE: Code Veronica follows up on Claire Redfield’s search for her brother, something that is first referenced in Resident Evil 2 . Immediately, the game shows us that Claire’s mission to find her brother led her to an Umbrella facility in Paris. The character storylines of both games are inherently linked, something absent in comparison to R
Nintendo has built up a cast of beloved supporting characters, so expand upon them and make them matter. Age of Calamity did a solid job of this, although I wasn’t a fan of its more eccentric approach to storytelling – still, it’s a good blueprint to follow if the overall tone is given a few much-needed adjustments. Breath of the Wild was so compelling because of the mystery that defined it, each hesitant step into its sprawling world rewarding us with riches and a freeform experimentation in gameplay that nothing in the open world genre has been able to match since. It’s a marvel, and something the sequel should build upon as opposed to replicating with only a few key changes.
Aside from this, the storytelling in Breath of the Wild is very much what you make of it. If you’ve played the game before, you’ll know that Link has access to a number of cryptic photographs on his Sheikah Slate that represent locations spread across the open world. You are given no map icons or hints as to where these places are, you simply need to look at the images and work things out for yourself. It’s a wondrous journey of discovery, and providing us with nuggets of narrative as opposed to temporary rewards makes seeking them out all the more satisfying. I love this approach, but mostly for what it represents as opposed to how it contributes to the game’s overall pacing.
With the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Capcom has the potential to make a REmake more powerful than any game before it. Even if RE4 gets the next gen treatment first, Code Veronica should be next in line for a full-fledged remake. Imagine your Cal Kestis journey through Rockfort Island and Antarctica with breath-taking 8K visu
Say what you will about remakes being played out, it’s still highly profitable. Capcom has made millions of sales when it comes to Resident Evil remakes and remasters. The long-awaited remake of Resident Evil 2 outsold its original PlayStation version by over 800,000 units. Similarly, HD remastered versions of Resident Evil and RE0 both outsold their original GameCube releases by at least a million un
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
Hyrule is safe once more, but so much was lost to acquire even a semblance of peace. Now, Zelda must emerge from the ruins of destruction and build something from the wreckage. It’s a heartbreaking conclusion to her destiny, and Zelda is left with so much emotional and physical baggage that it’s easier just to cut it all away – this detachment has been presented in a rather literal sense with her new hairstyle.
Since then, the Resident Evil remake was ported to the Wii before getting an HD remastered version for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. It is worth noting that the only time the Resident Evil remake sold a significant amount of copies was when it was remastered to current-generation consoles. However, despite its lackluster initial sales, the Resident Evil remake is often regarded by most fans as the best one yet, given that it stayed 90% faithful to the original material. There were some minor additions to the game’s story such as the Lisa Trevor storyline, but most of the changes were improvements such as a major graphical overhaul, a new script, and better voice-over, which is a vast improvement over the infamous voice acting of the 1996 original g
