When Resident Evil 4 first released on Gamecube in 2005, it not only transformed the Resident Evil series into a third-person action game with horror elements, but Resident Evil 4 set the bar for quality game design and technological achievement for action-gaming at the t

Back in 2002, Capcom developed a remake of the first Resident Evil game , which was led by series creator Shinji Mikami when he was still employed at Capcom. The remake was first released to the Nintendo GameCube, however, which proved to be a fatal move on Capcom's part given that most Resident Evil games were always released on a PlayStation console. Given this, most fans of Resident Evil were transitioning from the original PlayStation to the PlayStation 2, which is a key factor as to why the game had lackluster sales during its initial rele

Suffice to say, Elden Ring secrets Resident Evil 4 has definitely shown its age. Given that Resident Evil 4 was both a unique detour for the Resident Evil series, as well as one of the best overall action games of that era, a Resident Evil 4 Remake certainly has some big shoes to fill if it is to ignite the necessary nostalgia, while also creating something refreshingly

Antarctica makes for an interesting change of pace during the backhalf, but _ Code Veronica _ is so disconnected from any personal infection or outbreak that it lacks the human touch found in the settings of the original ga

Mario vs. Donkey Kong is, for the most part, polished and enjoyable. For the uninitiated, the game casts players as Mario, who is on a quest to reclaim toys stolen by Donkey Kong. As such, levels consist of basic but decent platforming along with puzzle elements that see Mario try to direct mini-versions of himself. While the story is not the point, the cutscenes are well-animated and charming. Once the main campaign is completed, players can unlock extra stages, which should help to keep them entertained for a couple of ho

While any appearance from Wesker may not resonate with newer fans, there’s never been a better opportunity to reintroduce Chris Redfield following his redesign at the end of _ Resident Evil 7 _ . With _ Resident Evil Village _ set to feature Chris in a major role, it’s honestly a bit surprising Capcom is choosing to remake _ RE4 _ fi

That said, Super Mario Maker 2 is still a must-own for anyone who loves 2D Mario, particularly if they enjoy creating levels. Those who do not want to take part in that process can enjoy a few pre-installed stages and creations crafted by other us

Enough time has passed since both the original _ Resident Evil _ remake and _ Resident Evil 5 _ where Wesker isn’t exactly a presence anymore as far as the franchise is concerned. His legacy may be alive, but Wesker is long gone narratively. Which is why remaking _ Code Veronica _ might raise more questions than answers. Modern audiences won’t be able to attach themselves to the intimate history between Chris and Wesker. More importantly, Wesker’s role in _ Code Veronica _ simply has nowhere to go unless Capcom plans on remaking _ Resident Evil 5, _ which seems unlikely given how well the game still se

In the end, if Capcom is truly developing a remake of Resident Evil 4 , then it stands to be the best one out of all the remakes, given the experience Capcom has gained with the reimaginings of the first three Resident Evil games. Additionally, the Resident Evil 4 remake is rumored to release at least a year after Resident Evil 8 so Capcom could also use that game as a testing ground on what works and what doesn't even if RE8 is an original game. As of the moment, it is still unclear where the rumored Resident Evil 4 remake will be released but it is likely that it will see the light of day on next-generation platforms alongside the

Earlier this year, Capcom released its latest remake, which is a reimagining of the events of Resident Evil 3 . Of course, given the success of the RE2 remake one year prior, fans had high expectations on the Resident Evil 3 remake. Unfortunately, when the game finally released last April, fans were a bit disappointed by how far the RE3 remake strayed from the original . Sure, it still retained the basic premise of RE3 but the sequence of events has been reshuffled so much that it is barely recognizable from the origi

To be sure, certain moments like the encounter with the regenerator stand out as among the scariest in the series , but overall the atmosphere is one of corny one-liners, martial arts kicks, and action movie setpieces. These elements are important to the original game's appeal, but in keeping with the atmosphere of the previous two remakes, perhaps it's best to lean a little further into the horror eleme

_ 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
