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
Remaking Resident Evil 4 poses an interesting opportunity for Capcom, an undertaking very different in comparison to remaking the classic Resident Evil titles. Considering the technical gap from the original PlayStation to current-gen consoles is gigantic, Resident Evil 2 and 3 received a lot of love for their respective reimaginings. The fourth Resident Evil game is still widely considered a relatively modern entry in the series, despite showing its age in several aspects. Capcom remake's development team could strike the perfect balance of new and old in giving one of the best Resident Evil titles a proper reimagin
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
As cool as Nemesis is, it wouldn't quite be a Resident Evil game without zombies, and Resident Evil 3 Remake is full of them. Taking place in Raccoon City after the outbreak , it is no wonder that Jill and the player run into their fair share of zombies during the game. Visually, there's not much to talk about here; a rose by any other name is still... a zombie. That said, the image of a zombie has been modernized compared to the original. The image below shows zombies as they were for the original game, with full heads of hair and bloody, pale faces. Compared to the much more rotted corpses seen above, the difference is quite profo
Like Destiny , Bungie's Halo underwent a number of revisions before it became the genre-defining FPS powerhouse it is known as today. Originally, Halo was set to be a real-time strategy game, and then it became a third-person shooter that was going to launch for Mac and PC, not as an Xbox exclus
Remake this timeless classic that people still replay for its expansive city and protagonist worthy of our admiration. This heavily inspired '90s gangster game is one of the greatest of all time and deserves a rem
Chronologically, Resident Evil 4 takes place six years after Resident Evil 2 's Raccoon City epidemic. Players are in control of protagonist Leon S. Kennedy, but this time around, Leon is working directly for the President of the United States. Leon heads to Spain, which is where President Graham's daughter is reportedly miss
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
The negative effects of the virus can be seen much more clearly on the original design, as almost the entire upper half of the monster is covered in mutant growths. In size the two seem to be mostly the same, although it is somewhat difficult to gauge due to the different angles of the two. Although the creature features much more reptilian skin now, a more unexpected change comes in the form of an additional claw. The original appears to have only four claws while the new one has five like a human, as if it needed more ways to shred through play
Resident Evil 3 remake is swiftly approaching, and we couldn't be more ecstatic after the success of the Resident Evil 2 remake. Re-built from the ground-up, the Resident Evil 2 remake offered improved gameplay and graphics, which is what a remake should accompl
