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

Facebook clearly sees the potential for VR versions of classic games, having announced GTA: San Andreas at last week’s Facebook Connect 2021. We should expect to see more PS2-era games on the Quest 2 (or Meta 2, I guess), hopefully a lot more. Games like Shadow of the Colossus , Metal Gear Solid 3, Silent Hill 2, and Beyond Good & Evil are ripe for VR versions, and I’d love to see even older games like GoldenEye and Perfect Dark remade for the Quest too. A robust library of classic games is exactly what VR needs to attract a wider audience, and Resident Evil 4 was absolutely the best place to st

If Zelda goes back to 2D, it stands alongside the indie scene. It showcases that these older takes shouldn’t be abandoned due to their age. Many other games are doing this already, but none have the clout of Zelda. Going back to 2D with its next main entry – not a remake, remaster, or spin-off – would set a major precedent: not every new triple-A title needs to splash out to make a big blockbuster. It could be a hybrid like Octopath Traveler with its 2D sprites on top of its paper-like background, or it could go the full mile and be completely 2D. Whatever it does, going back would be refreshing for gaming and it could pave the way for other studios to do similar things with their own catal

However, the next rumored remake in the RE series is Resident Evil 4 , speculated to be released sometime in 2022. The events of RE4 takes place a whole six years after RE2 . If the RE4 remake releases before a Code Veronica remake then chronological order obviously isn’t that important to Capcom. However, even if Capcom doesn’t maintain chronological order, there is still a chance Code Veronica will be updated for next gen consoles. The drive to maintain chronological Order 66 Survivor would just mean the remake of Code Veronica could see an earlier release than expec

Capcom has already remade the first three games in the series and updated their graphics for modern standards. If Capcom were to continue making their remakes in chronological order then Code Veronica should be next on the list. Claire’s adventure on Rockfort Island and Antarctica takes place three months following the event of RE2 and RE3: Nemes

In the mid-2000s, everybody and their mothers wanted to add in quick time events. It was supposed to immerse players more. While they still exist today, a lot of companies have learned not to be so strict with prompts meaning that a missed button press or two won’t result in a game o

The larger development team makes sense given the length of the game compared to RE 2 and RE3 , and supports additional leaks that Resident Evil 4 would have an “expanded story.” According to Twitter user AestheticGamer1, another known source for leaks with a good reputation in the industry, RE4 Remake will focus on expanding the story of the original game and players can expect to see more and larger changes than anything done in RE2 or RE3 . One example given related to the character Dr Salvador, who is said to be getting more screentime and an expanded backstory in the RE4 rema

Resident Evil 4 is at the apex of camp in the series, and that’s part of the reason why it’s so enduringly loved. If the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 are any indication, it appears that Capcom is attempting to dress up their older titles with a more grounded, realistic atmosphere. While that’s fine in moderation, making Resident Evil 4 too serious will harm the overall experience and misses the enduring appeal of the original g

There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but Zelda has always been a wonderfully diverse series. Not to the extent of Mario which has crossed all manner of genres in its years, but it is diverse all the same. It has shaped the RPG genre numerous times since the ‘80s, inspiring the likes of Dark Souls, Secret of Mana, Shadow of the Colossus, and now, the aforementioned Genshin Impact. You can see how much the RPG genre varies with Zelda’s inspirations alone and that’s telling. After Breath of the Wild 2, it needs to do something different again. Going back to the classics might not scream new. In fact, it sounds like a step back, aye? Well, that’s the thing. The triple-A space seems to be scared of its own history, desperate to move past it and become more cinematic, more graphically domineering. It’s all about tech and visual prowess. But art style is just as import
