by jermainewhittonLet’s just be real here. While the RE2 and RE3 remakes are well-done and are an improvement on the originals, one of the reasons they are highly regarded does have to do with nostalgia. The feeling you get when you play a game from long ago can make you have strong feelings for
In 2005, Capcom went on to help once again redefine the survival horror genre with Resident Evil 4 . This game solidified the Resident Evil franchise as legendary and inspired many copycats. It almost feels too good to be improved upon, which contributes to the current discuss
This team contributed to the development of RE3 and is made up of developers that have worked for Capcom in the past. Meanwhile, Shinji Mikami, the director of the original game, has been reported to give his blessing on this title. If Mikami is comfortable with who is at the helm, then it must mean they have some great id
In the trailer, it appears that Jill is running around inside her apartment building attempting to escape from the Nemesis as it stalks her. This provides more key insight into Resident Evil 3 ‘s storyline elements which were left out of the original, which skips the moments that transpire between Jill’s preparations to leave her home and the moment that skips ahead to her jumping out the front door of the building. We can assume that this part of Resident Evil 3 ‘s new trailer provides us direct insight into what happened inside Jill’s apartment in those few crucial and breathtaking mome
The fourth game is, after all, a staple of video game history. When it dropped back in 2005, it forever changing the landscape of survival horror and launched Resident Evil into the stratosphere, carving out the franchise’s unwavering spot as one of the most important IP’s in the history of the medium. In many ways, Resident Evil 4 is one of the core reasons that the series is still relevant enough to release AAA blockbuster remakes of its earlier games and have them sell like wildfire. In that regard, why isn’t the game already in line for a glitzy, HD reimagining with the budget to match its transcendent leg
Although, at its time, Resident Evil 4 was certainly revolutionary when it came to third-person shooters. But in 2020, the game stands out as a product of the past that doesn’t live up to current shooter standards. Adding a “run and gun” dynamic to the game would definitely appeal to casual gamers and bring RE4 up to sp
Throughout Resident Evil’s long history, the survival-horror franchise not only introduced players to a list of heroes and villains that have since become icons in the video game industry, but also to a wide variety of monsters that haunted the nightmares crypt of uhrma players. Now, Resident Evil 3 remake is merely days away from release and Capcom has already revealed the monsters that are confirmed to appear in the upcoming g
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
The game is also bursting with depth in every aspect of its design as a video game. From the core shooting mechanic to challenging dungeons and puzzles, incremental but satisfying weapon progression, heavily varied environment design, a well-balanced rising difficulty, and even some more miniscule details bring this game to life greater than many at the time. And it didn’t have to be a 40-60 hours long experience to feel like players got their money’s worth. Very few games felt like such a complete package as Resident Evil 4 did; Resident Evil 4 pioneered a lot for modern video games , not just the series its
It appears there may more content in Resident Evil 3’s remake drawing us into the overall events that transpired before September 28, in the days leading up to Raccoon City’s downfall, as opposed to the original game which more or less jumps right into the chaos. It can still be assumed that the transition from a city on high alert to a city in absolute anarchy happens pretty quick from the date of Sunday, September 27, 1998, to the evening of September 28, 1998, when Resident Evil 3’s gameplay begins and Jill exits her apartment build
Of course, while finally revisiting Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveria, and the utterly horrifying Nemesis is the next big experience for the franchise, it is worth wondering where Resident Evil’s newfound enthusiasm with revisiting its roots will lead following the remake’s release. While many fans are naturally hoping Capcom might return to the likes of Code Veronica or even the first game in the series, it’s also worth considering whether the third game’s groundbreaking sequel, Resident Evil 4 , would – or more importantly even should – receive a full remake in the same vein as Resident Evil 2 an
