While Resident Evil 3 Remake is available and already finished by many players, Capcom would be working on the remake of the essential hit of the cult saga. Released at the time in 2005, will Resident Evil 4 return in the form of a remake? Focus! Recently, Capcom had organized a poll to find out if players who liked the Raccoon City diptych (Resident Evil 2 and 3) wanted a new remake soon. The crazy rumors circulated on forums and social networks. Players hoping for a remake of Dino Crisis or Resident Evil Code Veronica. While everyone is waiting for the eighth episode bringing its share of information, Capcom is reportedly working on creating a remake of the famous episode for 2022.
Resident Evil 4 Remake?
Video Game Chronicles had said a week earlier that Capcom and the M-Two studio would work on another "major remake". Indeed, they have already collaborated on the remake of Resident Evil 3. Finally, this April 12, 2020 confirms that the cult game will be entitled to its remake.
Once exclusive to the Nintendo Gamecube, Resident Evil 4 has since passed through all current consoles. Real change in a license that was starting to run out of steam and wanted to mark the renewal for new generation consoles. Resident Evil 4 had gone through chaotic development. Developed by Hideki Kamiya, the episode was far too far from a Resident Evil, getting too close to the supernatural. It would eventually become the first episode of Devil May Cry. Other versions advanced its production but were later abandoned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMBfgHLkIMo&t=2s
Resident Evil 4 is still a must-see today.
Eventually, development was resumed under the supervision of Shinji Mikami (The Evil Within) with a lot of pressure from the publishers.
It was concluded that if the game didn't sell well, the series would have been cancelled…
When it was released in 2005, Resident Evil 4 exceeded all expectations. Critics even consider it a huge revolution in the video game industry. Accumulating anthology scenes, the game inspires many productions today. It is enough to see the ambush sequence in the house to see that the majority of the works contain a similar sequence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0VT6M4ZD4A&t=223s Also, the game decides to permanently give up the fixed camera of previous episodes for a camera on the shoulder. An approach that will be a landmark in the video game and that Gears of War and Batman Arkham Asylum will even make it an important element of the gameplay. Rediscovering Leon Kennedy's confrontation against a Spanish sect can only leave us wondering. Especially if Resident Evil 4 Remake also rights to the RE Engine graphics engine of the latest Capcom productions. Will Leon then have the same appearance as in the second part? However, we must also suggest that improving the graphics would significantly change the experience, at the risk of cutting key scenes from the story, as the last remake did. Also, for the remake to take on a scale as large as the original part, Capcom would have to succeed in revolutionizing the genre once again. Apart from the fact that he can boast of having given a different approach to survival-horror, he brings a new identity to the Third Person Shooter. He almost became the creator of a renewed genre. Thus, apart from the graphics and the inability to move while shooting, the game has not really aged. .Playing this fourth installment is still a must. Several magazines place it in the 10 best games of the 2000s. So is developing a remake risky?
Resident Evil VILLAGE ?
Capcom's license continues to attract players with its share of rumors. There was talk of developing a project called Village that would correspond to the eighth episode. The information comes from Biohazard declassified who shares several details of the work. The title of the game would be Resident Evil: Village. Its name is presented with its stylized typography to bring out the number VIII. A bit like Resident Evil VII Biohazard who put his "7" in the subtitle of the Japanese version. Also, a Witch would be present and would regularly chase the player. She would act as the Nemesis but also Marguerite in the previous episode, but it would be possible to defeat her. Chris Redfield would indeed return also after his appearance in the DLC that concluded the seventh part. However, let's note that Resident Evil: Village would take place in Europe, with a first-person camera. Capcom would also try to take some elements of the previous games, such as the inventory of Resident Evil 4 or references to the remake of Resident Evil 3. Although it seems to be confirmed that this is the eighth part, we can also think that Capcom would muddy the waters and deliver some initial information about the Resident Evil 4 remake. The latter would then be subject to significant modifications. A good reason to believe it? We'll see that in 2022.
