Amidst a slew of remasters and remakes that have dominated the video game market recently, Resident Evil 3 Remake seems to stand a cut above the rest. Considered one of the better games in the franchise, it is obvious why not try this out fans are so excited about the remake of the game. Pair this with the great yet faithful redesigns given to the game's many characters and it's shaping up to be something truly special. Of course, Resident Evil games are just as much about its zombies and monsters as it is about the playable characters, but how do these monsters stack up against their original incarnat Another aspect of Resident Evil 4 that was innovative for the time was its sense of scale, despite its linearity. Leon runs through rural Spanish villages, mineral mines, gothic castles, modern military installations, etc. Even in its 15-20 hour runtime, players travel to such an interesting variety of locales that the game is perceived to be much grander than it is. Even now, as the game creeps up to 15 years old, the world of Resident Evil 4 has a sense of sprawl balanced perfectly with its actual size. Now with modern technology allowing for higher graphical fidelity, a remake could see that scale expanded with larger highly detailed environments further beyond what the GameCube was capable of. Invoking that sense of scale that was so impactful in the original game would be perfect for a Resident Evil 4 rem 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 While it's hard to say how this version of Borderlands would have fared, the released game's uniqueness certainly helped it stand apart in the sea of drab shooters that dominated last generation. So, one has to imagine it may not have drawn quite the same amount of attention as it did if it retained the style the developers originally had in m It's worth noting that the remake is going to have better graphics and more clear resolution . Rather than focusing on that, notice key differences or similarities in the designs of each monster. Modern technology has the capability to make some truly horrifying stuff on screen, but conversely, sometimes showing too much can take away a sense of mystery and terror from something. This balance is what Resident Evil 3 Remake designers were tasked with finding, and they did a pretty solid One look at Capcom’s projects in-progress also backs up these claims. The company has just unveiled plans to enter into the mobile market with gusto , but rather than focusing on brand new intellectual properties, instead some of the first mobile titles of this new strategy will be based on beloved franchises such as Mega Man and Monster Hunter . Meanwhile, fans after a brand new and full Mega Man release are still left wanting – and have been so for years An update one should certainly expect from a Resident Evil 4 remake is the refinement of the mobility and aiming mechanics. Resident Evil stuck with the tank-controls aiming technique for the longest time, but eventually evolved to allow for more freedom of movement without sacrificing the series' evocative feeling of vulnerability. Resident Evil 2 Remake is a prime example of this , eschewing the stationary aiming design and allowing players to reposition ever so slowly. But on the flipside of this, the remake should be careful not to slip too far from the original game's constraints. Resident Evil 4 's weapon aiming had realistic weapon shake where every slight adjustment required the upmost precision. A Resident Evil 4 remake shouldn't lose that aspect of its tactical gameplay, but should at least allow for more mobility in com However, over recent years, fans have grown a little disheartened with Capcom’s general output. Some have criticized the company for resting on its laurels, and it’s easy to see where that observation comes from. After all, Capcom seems to have kept a large focus on remastered versions of old games, rather than fully embracing the new hardware at its dispo Hunters are a deadly monster made through combining reptilian DNA to a human embryo, a process which only is successful with the help of the T-Virus as a bonding agent. The result is both mammal and reptile, and usually not very happy. The Hunter Beta was a modification on the Hunter Alpha , and features better reaction time but less power and hindered eyesi 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

Apart from the many details that were recently revealed about Resident Evil 3, the most interesting one is the overall upgrade to the gameplay. Although it bears similarities to the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2 , it is no secret that the Resident Evil 3 is more action-oriented than its predecessor. Capcom was able to achieve this by introducing a smarter artificial intelligence model for Nemesis and other monsters, and by equipping the player with a new ability that will make for more efficient and balanced gamep The Licker Zombie appears to be a regular zombie with a Licker's head and iconic tongue. This creature is shown in concept art that can be unlocked in Resident Evil 2 remake where the licker zombie was supposed to appear in. The origins of the Licker Zombie remains unclear, but it is possible that these monsters are Lickers that still haven't fully transformed. Another popular theory surrounding these monsters is that they are the result of Lickers infecting a zombie host. It is also unclear why this monster never made it to Resident Evil 2 remake given that its appearance alone looks terrifying, but it would be awesome to see this monster come to life in Resident Evi In the original game, zombies were not as threatening as other enemies in Resident Evil 3. They were slow, easy to outrun, and could be killed by just a handful of bullets. Although they were still slow and could easily be outrun in Resident Evil 2 remake, zombies are just more bulletproof even when shooting them in the head. This is because of the fact that Resident Evil 2 and 3 implement a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective, which makes it easier to land headshots unlike with the classic games' fixed camera angles. Of course, if remake zombies were as fragile as their original counterparts, then clearing them out in the game would be a breeze given that the over-the-shoulder perspective offers better visibility to play A good example of this is the way Brad Vickers died in Resident Evil 3 remake. In the original game, Brad died in front of Jill Valentine, after he was captured and killed by Nemesis. This scene soon became one of the most iconic and memorable deaths in the Resident Evil franchise, and surprisingly enough, Capcom decided not to include this in the remake. Instead, the 2020 reimagining finally gave Brad his redemption arc , allowing him to sacrifice his life to save Jill. Sure it's disappointing that Brad was killed by zombies instead of Nemesis, but the change made for a better story, making Brad's death more meaningful as compared to the original g The survivors will have to utilize various weapons and items while cooperating with each other to survive. There are three main objectives for the survivors to complete in sequence and once they successfully navigate the third area within the time limit, they will have In the original game, Nemesis was already relentless in chasing players, but most of the encounters are still scripted, and players would just have to run two to three doors to lose the tyrant. However, with all the information revealed so far, Nintendo platformers it appears that this won't be the case in the remake. Based on RE3 gameplay previews alone, it appears that it would take players a greater amount of effort and expert maneuverability to lose Nemesis, who can now blast through walls. However, to allow players to focus on other aspects of the game, there will be certain areas such as safe rooms and areas where puzzles are located where Nemesis can't en Additionally, Raccoon City will be much more expansive and will be filled with explosive items that will be extremely useful in temporarily stunning Nemesis or blasting off hordes of zombies. At the moment, the explosive items that were revealed include red barrels that will explode when shot and generators that will send a surge of electrical pulse that will stun Nemesis and any other monsters that are caught in its blast. Just like in the original game, the addition of explosive items adds a new layer of texture to the gameplay and gives players the opportunity to strategize its use. Should they use the red barrel now to kill a few zombies, or is it better to save it for later in case Nemesis drops To put it into context, Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2's horror elements were derived from the claustrophobic environments that players find themselves in. However, in Resident Evil 3 , horror comes from the fast-paced battles with Nemesis, making every encounter with the monster a near-death experience. This is why most of the action-heavy gameplay of the remake is seen with every Nemesis encounter, which makes sense due to the fact that Nemesis is much smarter and more menacing than Mr. X and the original Tyr In truth, there are as many reasons why Resident Evil 4 should be the next game to receive a remake from the ground-up as there are counter-arguments as to why it's absolutely fine as is. Perhaps the biggest point in defense of the latter is that the game doesn't exactly falter when compared to modern standards. Granted, it might feel more restrictive than later entries in the series, with the game preventing players from moving while aiming and the controls feeling largely more rigid, but the core innovations Resident Evil 4 introduced back in 2005 remain integral to the formula to this
