Capcom Needs to Focus On New Games Rather Than Remakes

Of course, an early Resident Evil game set in Raccoon City would simply not be Resident Evil without the zombies infected with the T-Virus. After Dr. William Birkin accidentally unleashes the liquid T-Virus samples into the sewers of Raccoon City in the chronology of the Resident Evil 2 and 3 storylines , it is not long before Racooon City succumbs to hordes of zomb

The main takeaway fans can gather from the Resident Evil 3 trailer is that there is clearly more insight into Raccoon City's slow simmering that eventually brings it to a complete collapse over a few days. In the original game, the introduction and beginning parts of the game did not provide much footage of the way in which Raccoon City slowly melted into obliv

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

In summary, Resident Evil 2 added some new enemies, such as the Ivy Zombies, made some drastic changes, such is the case of Plant 43, while some of the enemies in the original Adventure Game Mounts were absent, including spiders, moths and crows. While there was some ambitions to include some drastically new enemies, as shown in the concept art, they never made it to the final cut. In the end, the remake of Resident Evil 2's zombies sticks very close to the familiar grounds of the original in terms of its choices of enemies and their overall design, functions, and l

Resident Evil 3 Remake 's version of the Grave Digger has changed quite a bit too. The creature's mouth is now much larger than it was previously, but actually seems to sport fewer teeth. Though that may seem like it would make the Grave Digger less scary, in reality the fleshy interior of this beast and the way its entire face unfolds is the stuff of nightmare. Not much has been shown of this experiment gone wrong aside from this one screenshot, though, so it is difficult to say what else about the creature developers might have chan

There are also some photos that released in the same stockpile as the possible Hunter Y photos, which show possible inclusions of the Drain Demos and Brain Suckers. Again, the footage is not clear enough to confirm with full certainty, but the Resident Evil 3 leaked photos do present some persuasiveness. They could also be new entirely creatures too, and one of them could be a different aesthetic design of the giant spiders inst

Originally, the Condemned was to appear in the Orphanage portion of the game, possibly posing a threat to Sherry Birkin. It was scrapped, possibly because Capcom wanted to make Brian Irons the main threat to Sherry during this segment of the g

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

Resident Evil 2's remake stayed mostly true to the original game in terms of story, lore and details, but there are a few changes to the enemies which fans may not be aware of. In addition to some new enemy concepts that were scrapped from the final release of Resident Evil 2 Remake, there are also some old enemy types from the original game which were not included in the origi

Throughout Resident Evil's 24-year history, the franchise has produced a cast of amazing characters that have since become beloved icons in the video game industry. Of course, while every Resident Evil fan will have their own favorite character, it is without a doubt that, despite a long absence, Jill Valentine remains to be one of the most popular Resident Evil characters of all time. In just a week from today, Jill Valentine is making a return with the release of the highly-anticipated remake of Resident Evil 3 , which chronicles her desperate escape from Raccoon City and the relentless pursuit of Neme

Whether or not Capcom can regain momentum remains to be seen, but it would be a shame to see such a great powerhouse of the industry go stale. However, it the company as a whole is not careful, that's exactly where it could end up. At the end of the day, i f Capcom does not start producing these classic games once more, then there will not be any great games to remake in the fut

The photo of the Condemned shows a humanoid of some sort wearing what looks to be a some sort of metal neck brace. In Resident Evil lore, given that the Orphanage was testing a T-Virus strain on children that would increase the odds of a human host accepting extreme mutations into Tyrants, it is possible the Condemned may have been one of these experiments that was only semi-successful; the host may have failed to transform into a Tyrant, but also did not die in the process either, which is often the case when trying to find a viable human host to become a Tyr
