There’s just no getting around the fact that _ Resident Evil 4 _ does not need a remake while _ Code Veronica _ desperately does. _ CV _ is by no means a bad game, but it loses much of the replay value defined by the originals. Its long length also means that the campaign doesn’t move at as brisk a p

This revelation not only ties a potential Resident Evil 4 Remake closer into the fabric of Resident Evil's universe and timeline, but Resident Evil 4 Remake could also provide a lot of possible background information and insights into the creation of the Nemesis in Resident Evil 3, specifically the mysterious parasite that helped create the Nemesis in Umbrella's European facilities. The origins of this Nemesis parasite will hopefully be addressed in Resident Evil 4 Rema

Spectacle is all well and good, but it’s short-lived, and doesn’t stick in your mind like the haunting corridors of Raccoon City Police Station. I’m not going to remember the Lady Dimitrescu boss battle for years to come, but Leon’s first hesitant steps into Raccoon City are already cemented into my mind. Resident Evil 4 is filled with moments like this. Despite being a rollercoaster ride of gunfights and boss battles, it never fails in making you feel vulnerable. Leon could have a fully upgraded arsenal at his disposal, but not taking his surroundings into account would lead to an untimely de

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

With Resident Evil Village opting to retread this sacred ground and falling short in the process, I’m worried that a full remake might fall to the same fate, but considering the trend of Resident Evil remakes, I imagine it’s going to happen whether we like it or not. Now don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to see what it does with Leon’s journey on the new, more powerful consoles, but I also don’t want to come away from it feeling underwhelmed, to feel that perhaps the past should have been left exactly where it belongs. Only time will tell, but right now, I remain unconvin

Shortly after its release, theResident 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 2 remake is undoubtedly Capcom's most profitable

It would be impossible to talk about indie games without mentioning one of the biggest titles that fans still can't get enough of to this day. Undertale is an amazing title full to the brim with innovative combat and endearing charact

Pokemon is a video game franchise that needs no introduction. While the modern entries in this series have been criticized for plenty of reasons, that shouldn't take away from the charm these games hold when things click into pl

Suffice to say, Resident Evil 4 has definitely shown its age. Given that Resident Evil 4 was both a unique detour for the Resident Evil series, as well as one of the best overall action games of that era, a Resident Evil 4 Remake certainly has some big shoes to fill if it is to ignite the necessary nostalgia, while also creating something refreshingly

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

If the remake of Resident Evil 4 decides to trim the fat in a similar way to 2 and 3, it will lose moments like this. The original is the longest game in the franchise by a significant margin, and this is for good reason. Each major location is like a game in itself, taking time to introduce you to their threats, puzzles, and further intricacies before things inevitably descend into an avalanche of action. You hurl grenades around like other modern entries, but here it feels earned, like you’ve triumphed over unstoppable horrors and can finally take your revenge. The campaign being cut short would rob these moments of their brilliance, and this isn’t how newcomers should experience one of the best survival horror Adventure games DLC ever concei
