Given that there were already some framerate issues with Resident Evil 3 Remake on consoles, the higher number of enemies and action on the screen in Resident Evil 4 may require next-generation console technology to fully bring it to fruition. Resident Evil 4’s tank-like controls certainly have not aged well to most, and are more than in need of updating, which a new engine or the current Resident Evil engine can accommodate fu

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

A more thickened plot for a Resident Evil 4 Remake , which redefines the history of the Las Plagas parasites with more familiarity and relevance to the T-Virus origins and experimental history, would not only make Resident Evil 4 Remake fit into the timeline better, but it can also strengthen the plot-line thereafter. Resident Evil 4 ‘s Las Plagas parasites have the potential to be the sister-counterpart to the T-Virus, with a history of usage and demand within the same corporation, agenda and lineage of experimental initiatives by Umbre

_ Resident Evil 4 _ is so narratively inconsequential that Capcom remaking the game before _ Code Veronica _ might be the studio’s way of fixing the franchise’s overall plot. Who’s to say _ Resident Evil 4 _ won’t make its own narrative changes? It’s possible the game won’t flash forward, won’t dissolve Umbrella, and might actually serve as set up for _ Code Veronica

Undertale is an indie gem that took the world by storm, and it’s easy to see why people wanted more from its brilliant developer, Toby Fox. He decided to drip-feed fans with content for a sequel that was split into different chapt

Given that the G-Virus was discovered in 1988 in Lisa Trevor, this means that Umbrella must have known about Salazar’s castle and the Las Plagas parasites in the caves nearby for a long time. The link between the Nemesis parasite and the Las Plagas parasites ties Resident Evil 4 deeply into the timeline of the series’ past, thereby making it all the more relevant and necessary in setting the trajectory for Resident Evil 4 ‘s timeline thereaf

Perhaps the most glaring reason _ Code Veronica _ needs a remake before _ Resident Evil 4 _ is that it’s simply the next game in the chronology. Both in the _ Resident Evil _ main timeline and in the franchise’s release order, _ Code Veronica _ follows _ Resident Evil 3 _ . Skipping over to _ RE4 _ – a game that flashes forward roughly a decade– seems a poor move. It’s also disconcerting in the sense that this would imply Capcom has no interest in remaking _ Code Veronica _ . Why remake _ Resident Evil 4 _ first just to jump back in time for _ CV

_ Resident Evil 4 _ ’s story is entertaining, but it’s far from good. _ RE4 _ may have fantastic game design, but its plot did irreversible damage for the series. Leon’s time in Europe amounts to little more than an action movie, with the scares infrequent. Worse, four games of build up are thrown out the window as _ RE4 _ wipes the slate cl

However, while Resident Evil 4 has stood the test of time as a classic in horror games and among the best the Resident Evil franchise offers, none of this has not stopped Resident Evil 4 from being viewed as the series more odd standout in terms of storyline. Not only did Resident Evil 4 completely change the game engine, controls, graphical style and turn it into a horror game that aligned closer to a third person action-horror fromsoftware spin-off game, but its disconnected storyline also helped make Resident Evil 4 feel as if it reboot the series in a large way, at the time of its original rele

VR remakes like Resident Evil 4 are a much easier sell to non-VR players than other games in the medium. I can preach about how remarkable Half-Life: Alyx is until everyone hates me (which happens often) but it’s impossible to really understand how great that game is unless you play it for yourself. This has always been a huge barrier for VR, which is why Oculus was so keen on developing a wireless model that could more easily be taken on the go and shared with friends. People need to try VR before they really get it, but remakes of classic games like RE4 might just be compelling enough to convince people to take the dive sight unseen. “It’s Resident Evil 4, but you’re actually walking through the village yourself” is easy to wrap your head around, and a pretty intriguing premise

I’ve played close to 100 VR games, and I’ve never had an experience like Resident Evil 4. There are better-looking, more immersive, and higher quality games out there, but none have ever given me as much joy and nostalgia as playing Resident Evil in VR has. As soon as the opening cutscene ended and I took control of Leon, I was instantly transported. I know every inch of RE4’s village, castle, and underground mines, but I never felt like I’d been to these places until now. RE4VR feels like the difference between looking at a picture of the Parthenon versus traveling to Greece and standing in the center of it. Seeing RE4 on a screen is incomparable to seeing it in person, and experiences like this have the potential to sell VR to even the most reluctant play
