13 Games that Started Out Completely Different

The original RE4 was definitely great, but with modern graphics, Capcom has the chance to build a better mouse trap. Both casual and hardcore fans alike will more than likely be telling Capcom, "shut up and take my mon

Before Doom was about slaughtering demons from Hell, it was actually a licensed game based on the Aliens franchise. id Software was in talks with 20th Century Fox to produce the title, but negotiations fell through as the development team wanted more creative free


One feature that is lacking from Resident Evil 4 is the ability to run and shoot at the same time. This feature was later introduced in RE6 , while RE4 relied on a "stop and pop" mechanic rather than "run and g

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


From there, a Resident Evil 4 remake could continue making miniscule changes, but there's not really much else to tackle ideally. Resident Evil 4 's experience was already an incredibly well-balanced experience that any changes beyond the aforementioned may work to cheapen a remake in the spirit of the original game. Though Capcom has found success in implementing radical changes as well , it'd be interesting to see how a reimagining could be tackled for Resident Evil


With Resident Evil 3 Remake's release approaching and looking to capture similar success as Resident Evil 2 Remake released the previous year, and Devil May Cry 5 seemingly reviving the series with an impressive 2.1 million copies sold, there are a lot of options on the table for which Capcom can build upon by utilizing hit titles from the p


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


Dino Crisis is already rumored for for a remake and is another classic survival horror game made by Capcom, often described as being " Resident Evil with dinosaurs." First released in 1999 on the original PlayStation, Dino Crisis starred multiple characters trying to take back control from a deadly outbreak of dinosaurs on an island where research was being conducted into their revival from extinct


Back in 2001, Crytek developed the CryEngine for Nvidia. To show off its new technology, Crytek created a tech demo of a game called X-Isle: Dinosaur Island that featured a variety of prehistoric creatures stomping around in the wo


Like Borderlands , Conker's Bad Fur Day went through some major revisions that made it a much more unique and arguably more interesting game. Rare's original vision for it was that of a typical, kid-friendly 3D platformer in the vein of Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie , called Conker's Quest and later Twelve Tales: Conker 64 . These early versions of the game even had Conker's girlfriend Berri as a playable character in stages that featured strategy gameplay, cal Kestis fighting style as well as split-screen co-op for the st


Personality-wise, Capcom did introduce some slight changes to Jill Valentine in the upcoming remake. In previous trailers, gameplay previews, and the RE 3 playable demo , it is evident that Capcom has increased Jill's badass traits as compared to previous Resident Evil games. In the opening sequence of the demo alone, we saw Jill make sarcastic comments during a conversation with Carlos Oliveria and Mikhail Viktor. Of course, looking at it closely, the spirit of the scene remains consistent with that of the original. The U.B.C.S. asked to partner with Jill, she was reluctant at first, but she agreed anyway knowing that it would increase the chances of her survi


Should Capcom revive a Resident Evil cult classic in Code: Veronica or should they go with the game-changer? Resident Evil 4 completely revolutionized the RE series and is currently rumored to be the next remake. Leon Kennedy's romp through rural Spain brought the brand back to mainstream relevancy. Meanwhile, Dreamcast's 2000 release of Resident Evil Code: Veronica was met with critical acclaim. The rumors regarding the supposed 2022 RE4 remake has caused an uproar among upset Code: Veronica fans on Twit
