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
This attire that looks inspired by Sauron from The Lord of the Rings became so iconic that even gamers who don’t play World of Warcraft have seen it at some point. For the actual fans of World of Warcraft , it doesn’t need an introduction. Its cultural importance in the video gaming world is immeasura
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
Regardless, whether or not Capcom elects to resurrect Resident Evil 4 for newer hardware, it must be said that the company’s love for its older games and dedication to seeing them endure the test of time is commendable. For the thousands of players who were too young or missed the boat on getting to experience the beginning of the franchise, this slate of remakes is an excellent way to recapture the essence of the original titles while also refining the series’ formula and producing utterly exceptional produ
When Capcom went back to the drawing board while remaking Resident Evil 2, it made complete sense. The original three games revolved around outdated game design, favoring restrictive tank controls and a fixed viewpoint instead of allowing players to pilot both their character and camera with relative ease. Instead of fully altering the world, story, or characters (all the elements which fans loved about Resident Evil 2), the remake restructures the game’s obsolete design and transforms it into a horror experience built to thrive in 20
It can be argued that this hack-and-slash role-playing game is still relevant two decades after its release. The servers are still active because of people returning to play through the game once more. Plenty of demand makes a Diablo II remake pivo
First appearing in Super Mario Bros. 3 , the suit turns either Mario or Luigi into their Hammer variants, modeled after the Koopa enemies known as Hammer Bros. With a fireproof shell, an indestructible helmet, and a set of hammers to hurl at enemies, the Hammer Suit shows Mario in a whole new light. With extra style points awarded for the black color scheme, fans can’t help but love one of the few mental images of Mario heading into battle sporting actual armor instead of overa
The graphics of RE4 holds up better to modern standards relative to Code: Veronica . Aesthetically-wise, a Code: Veronica remake would make better sense over RE4 . While RE4 would definitely benefit from a reboot, it would benefit Code: Veronica even more. Capcom could just remaster RE4 on next-gen consoles once again with improved textures and frame rate, and that would still likely sell decently-well. But for Code Veronica to sell well in the modern era, it’ll need to be redone from the ground
Many of us are still playing T ony Hawk Pro Skater 2 , improving our skills, hoping that one day the game receives a remake. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 was a critic failure, but there are plenty of skateboarding alternatives. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1-4 are all exceptional games in their own right and the Skate series contains phenomenal games that hold up to
For RE4 , even though the graphics aren’t as sharp as today’s, it still relatively holds up. The characters are easy to make out, and the settings aren’t terrible. It also just received a 2016 HD remaster. Does this game really need the pol
However, many fans are loyal to the brand just because of the survival psychological horror Games aesthetic. Not saying they would turn their back on Capcom if they don’t meet their demands. They would just adore the company even more with a Code: Veronica rem
