by houstonpratt216Capcom has had quite the resurgence lately, coming off huge wins from the success of Devil May Cry 5 and Monster Hunter World, but an even larger contributor to Capcom’s run has come from the Resident Evil series. Both Resident Evil 2 Remake and more recently Resident Evil 3 Remake have seen massive success, showing that the franchise that many fans decided had lost its way was finally making a comeback, even if some are fully satisfied with RE3 . It seems Capcom wishes to keep the ball rolling, as reports have begun popping up that Resident Evil 4 is on deck for the next overh
Now, the subsequent creatures that are featured on this list are monsters that were developed by Capcom for other Resident Evil games that did not make the final cut. Headlining this list is the ultra-creepy Spider-Man, which is a monster design that was rejected during the development of the Resident Evil 0 . The monster appears to be a giant tarantula spider that is taking over a human host. The monster design surfaced during the Developer Diary video of Resident Evil 0 Remaster , and while unlikely, it is interesting to see this design come to life in Resident Evi
Ever since their introduction in Resident Evil 2 , Lickers became one of the most feared and most popular enemies in the Resident Evil franchise. Similar to Crimson Heads, Lickers are mutations from severely injured zombies, but this mutation is caused by a separate t-Virus strain. Lickers are known for their large exposed brains and extremely long tongue. Although these creatures do not have the ability to see, they are extremely sensitive to sound and are able to hunt their prey just by listening to their movements. Although Lickers were present in Raccoon City during the Outbreak, Jill Valentine wasn’t able to encounter them, but it will be interesting to see whether these monsters will be present in the remake, especially inside the police stat
Resident Evil 4 represents a completely different challenge compared to the recently released remakes. Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 both initially came out on the first PlayStation console way back in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Sony’s first console didn’t have the luxury of rendering highly complex character models or 3D environments, storing larger amounts of data, and any other modern conveniences games from the mid-to-late 2000s onward have. Resident Evil 4 came out for the GameCube in 2005, and though it wasn’t necessarily the first fully dimensional Resident Evil game, it was the first to take advantage of next-generation hardware to craft a highly detailed wo
Even when the dust had settled, however, Street Fighter 5 drew plenty of well-aimed criticism for the content on show. The title’s story mode proved to be extremely short, with even Capcom itself admitting that it could be beaten easily within 1-2 hours . Fans of the franchise immediately took the story mode to task, with one user even able to get his 6-month old baby to beat the ga
Another creature that made its debut in Resident Evil 2 is the giant moth. This monster is a bio-organic weapon that was developed by Umbrella, and its research was conducted in the NEST Underground facility . During the Raccoon City Outbreak, the Giant Moth escaped the Umbrella facility and used the air conditioning system’s main shaft to hunt down prey all over the facility. The Giant Moth also made an appearance in Resident Evil Outbreak and Resident Evil Surviv
For fans of these classic titles, remastered and re-released games will no doubt prove hugely worthwhile. However, looking into Capcom’s original games of late, a lot has been found wanting, with a lacklustre critical response to some of the company’s most recent blockbusters. In short, some of Capcom’s output has been disappointing for fans who expect the level of quality that it has historically been able to prov
After all, new releases, be they brand new intellectual properties or sequels to core series, are the bread and butter of all game development teams. When it comes to the bottom line, that is where Capcom needs to keep the majority of its focus, and that is where the future classics will be coming from – not from remakes of games that have already been released several times o
Yet again, however, it’s not a game that is likely to set the pulse of any players racing, and gamers could hardly be blamed for suspecting that the title could fall flat upon release. If Capcom is to keep its position in the industry, then a level of Zelda Gameplay Innovation needs to be maintained. Perhaps the only sure-fire way to do this is to break this emphasis on remakes and spin-offs, particularly if brand new titles continue to fail to live up to expectati
That said, there is still plenty of potential hidden within Capcom, and some games that are trying to push new ground for the company are piquing interest in the community. Although Umbrella Corps , for instance, has caused a few raised eyebrows from fans of the Resident Evil franchise, there are signs that the title could prove to be something to look out for . If nothing else, should Umbrella Corps prove to be an interesting game in its own right, perhaps Capcom will stop trying to shoehorn in action-adventure mechanics in to the main Resident Evil series, where they have been widely rejected by longtime follow
