5 Reasons Why We Need a Resident Evil 4 Remake (& 5 Reasons We Don't)

Back when RE4's released, additional characters that needed to be occasionally saved were annoying and a downright drain on enjoyment. An update could see developers do more with Ashley while making her more of a teammate and less of a bur

image.php?image=b17maartent1393.jpg&dl=1If the rumors are true, we could be seeing an RE8 game —and follow-up to RE7 —in 2021. This is earlier than what was initially predicted or discussed. Considering that the new consoles are set to hit next year as well, if RE4 was to come out for those systems as well, then it could take attention away from Capcom's newest Resident Evil stor

Seeing a modern retake of Code Veronica and its unique settings and deep storytelling would certainly be a welcome addition to Capcom's Resident Evil Remakes. Capcom may already be testing the waters, considering Code Veronica was ported to the P

However, as many other franchises have discovered, you cannot just depend on this feeling. RE2 and RE3 remakes made sense from a functional standpoint, but RE4 may not be necessary beyond feelings of nostal

The graphics of RE4 holds up better to modern standards relative to Code: Veronica . Aesthetically-wise, a Code: Veronica remake would make better sense over RE4 . While RE4 would definitely benefit from a reboot, it would benefit Code: Veronica even more. Capcom could just remaster RE4 on next-gen consoles once again with improved textures and frame rate, and that would still likely sell decently-well. But for Code Veronica to sell well in the modern era, it'll need to be redone from the ground

In the original game, she runs into the Nemesis for the first time l ater in the game. While it appears Jill's first confrontation with the Nemesis transpires at the start of the game as she is fleeing her home, it does not necessarily change the story from the original, as this same sequence could have transpired in the original game too, but was not sh

While the trailer does not confirm that the gameplay within the Adventure game walkthrough will take place at an earlier date, the clues do point to a more in-depth introduction giving us insight into the city's descent to chaos. As far as important dates are concerned, the gameplay in the original Resident Evil 3 began when Jill Valentine left her apartment on September 28, 1998 , a day before Resident Evil 2 's events begin. By September 28, the city was already in desolate ruins, overrun with hordes of zombies and had become lawl

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

Perhaps the safest approach for the time being may be sticking with the tried and tested by making more Resident Evil remakes, and both Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4 would be solid choices. Resident Evil 4 is one of the most renowned Resident Evil games and part of the main series. It would likely be the obvious choice for a remake among consideration of all the Resident Evil ga

Another option is to remake Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening , given that it is considered by man fans to be one of the best games in the series and a classic. Additionally, Devil May Cry 3 was ported to Switch with new features . As a prequel to the first game, it provides a much needed backstory and would be good way to introduce new fans to the world of Devils May Cry , especially those fans who only recently jumped into the series with Devil May Cr

Originally released in 2005 on Nintendo's GameCube, Resident Evil 4 is definitely showing its age and allows plenty of room for improvement. Given that the Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remake already utilize an over-the-shoulder third person view and engine that would fit in well with the original gameplay elements of Resident Evil 4 without having to completely redesign the entire game, it would appear to be a fairly straight forward remake. Resident Evil 4 already has the reputation of a classic among the Resident Evil series and it would surely be a safe bet for driving sa
