Resident Evil 3 Remake , still fresh from release in April, has successfully continued to enrich the Resident Evil universe by recreating past installments of the series. With a rumored Resident Evil 4 Remake in the works, and potentially new story elements that will link the plot to the Nemesis monster in Resident Evil 3 , there is still plenty in Resident Evil’ s past worth delving into with more insi
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
Also, Resident Evil’s Las Plagas parasites were always viewed oddly to much of the Resident Evil community, given that they stood on their own with no known historical links to Umbrella and their virology research, until now. While it sounds as if the Nemesis Parasite took inspiration from the Las Plagas parasites as a blueprint or model, is is perhaps not exactly the same as the parasite found in Resident Evil 4’s Gran
One huge change that Resident Evil 4 made from its predecessors was the inclusion of a mysterious merchant character. When fighting enemies and exploring the game’s environments, the player would come across money that they could exchange for items, weapons, and upgrades when interacting with this merch
But Resident Evil 4 always stood seemingly as a stand-alone storyline with very little connectivity to the Resident Evil universe and its backbone, specifically Resident Evil ‘s Umbrella and their T-Virus , which manifested most of the corporation’s monstrosities both in the past and after its shutdown following the years after Resident Evil
Nintendo Labo is fun for all ages and is as simple or complex as the player’s imagination. By setting up the controllers on various bits of cardboard, players get a level of immersion they’d ordinarily need VR to harness. Ultimately, this release is difficult to recommend since it is the definition of an acquired taste, despite being fairly accessible as an idea. While certainly fun, Labo is also one of those concepts that can grow old quic
Earlier this year, Capcom released its latest remake, which is a reimagining of the events of Resident Evil 3 . Of course, given the success of the RE2 remake one year prior, fans had high expectations on the Resident Evil 3 remake. Unfortunately, when the game finally released last April, fans were a bit disappointed by how far the RE3 remake strayed from the original . Sure, it still retained the basic premise of RE3 but the sequence of events has been reshuffled so much that it is barely recognizable from the origi
Resident Evil 4 uses a control scheme that many players consider to be dated. In a departure from more modern third-person shooter controls, the protagonist and fan-favorite character Leon can’t strafe, with left or right inputs on the controller rotating him in place. While this might feel unintuitive at first, and it certainly takes a little bit of getting used to for new players, it’s actually an important design cho
To refresh, the original Resident Evil 4 took place in Spain, where a terrorist group known as the Los Iluminados utilized parasites seemingly living in their natural habitat inside a Spanish cave. Members of Los Iluminados willingly infected themselves with these parasites, known as the Las Plagas, in order to mutate themselves into powerful monstrosit
The Switch version does not add too much to the vanilla iteration, which has been largely par for the course for this type of rerelease. That said, it is the definitive way to experience this title, and the console’s library is enhanced with Tropical Freeze ‘s inclus
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. Shadow of the Erdtree expansion 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
Yes, rapidly pressing buttons during a cutscene to dodge lasers or run away from a boulder is a clear holdover from the 2005 – 2010 game design zeitgeist, where irritating QTEs would bring players to a game over screen if they put their controllers down to grab a drink during a cutscene. These events are more annoying than they are challenging, and are best left beh
