by rosalinadentWithout a shadow of a doubt, Capcom is a part of video game royalty. The company has been home to a number of the greatest gaming franchises of all time, bringing revolutionary titles to a wide variety of genres, from fighting games all the way through to survival Horror game Remakes. The publisher has solidified its place in the market through decades’ worth of quality, earning itself a place in the history of gam
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
Yes, there are parts in the game that are startling and downright creepy. But whether it was the fact that fixed camera angles were gone or the horde of parasite-infested visitors, this RE4 game moved forward on what started with RE3 —a greater reliance on the action-oriented play and mowing down enem
Yet, it’s worth remembering that Resident Evil 4 is undeniably one of the series’ most pivotal entries. The action-centric format that eventually went onto define the later games in the series was done to perfection in 4 , with the game completely reinventing what it meant to play a Resident Evil title . It goes without saying that while a remake might not be as utterly transformative as games like Resident Evil 2 and the upcoming remake of the third game, there’s still a lot of merit in updating Resident Evil 4’s combat and clunky controls to show just how incredible the game’s core gameplay and set of mechanics were back in the day. Fixing the aiming so players can move while shooting and adding some of the incredible nuances that made Resident Evil 2 such an immersive next step for the series would go a long way if added to the fourth game, especially if done so alongside a major visual overha
Another feature that will be returning in Resident Evil 3 is the explosive items that are scattered all around Raccoon City, as confirmed in the gameplay preview . Just like in the original game, these explosive items will help players curb the threat of the infected or temporarily slow down Nemesis. It is currently unclear how diverse these explosive items will be in the remake, but the original game included red barrels, wall bombs, and even street lights. So far, we’ve seen the return of red barrels and the addition of electrical generators, but it is interesting to see whether Capcom will add more of these explosive items in the rem
Taking pros and cons for whether a Resident Evil 4 remake is necessary to one side, the game would also sell incredibly well for Capcom, which is surely a more corporate reason for the title to get a modern facelift. The fourth game remains a staple of its lineup (hence its constant re-releases on later platforms), meaning that it’s no doubt a big moneymaker for the company and one that would succeed if eventually redesigned for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
It’s also worth taking into account that Resident Evil 4 isn’t exactly hard to get hold of in 2019, with ports of the sequel making their way to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Wii, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, the Nintendo Switch , PC, and even mobile. If fans want to revisit Leon’s high-octane adventure to rescue the president’s daughter from the clutches of the undead, they don’t even need to dust off their long-forgotten PlayStation 2’s to jump right back
A new experience for the series, _ Resident Evil Resistance _ is the online mode that comes featured with _ Resident Evil 3 . _ It will be available to play on the same day as the single-player campaign. _ Resistance _ is a one versus four asymmetrical online multiplayer mode that pits one overpowered player, known as the Mastermind, against four players, known as the survivors, in distr
However, as many other franchises have discovered, you cannot just depend on this feeling. RE2 and RE3 remakes made sense from a functional standpoint, but RE4 may not be necessary beyond feelings of nostal
All in all, Street Fighter 5 has been a bit of a disaster for Capcom, with some even claiming that the game has essentially been released in an unfinished state . Unfortunately, it is far from the only flawed title to be released from Capcom’s stables. Although Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was well-received , and the Monster Hunter series has continued to maintain a very strong following, those stand-out classics that the company was known for seem to be drying
However, it looks like this game franchise could be a victim of attrition and “falling interest.” It’s the same reason why the movie sequel always seems not to do as well. If the numbers are low for RE3 , the chances are high that the same will happen to an RE4 rem
Having said all that, is Capcom’s portrayal of Jill in the remake different from the original? With everything we know so far, the answer to that would be yes, Capcom did take a different approach in Jill’s personality, but the developers were still able to retain her overall character. She remains independent and capable, compassionate to others but tough on her enemies. Sure, she is a little bit sassier than her previous portrayals but her comebacks are always within rea
