It's also worth taking into account that Resident Evil 4 isn't exactly hard to get hold of in 2019, with ports of the sequel making their way to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Wii, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, the Nintendo Switch , PC, and even mobile. If fans want to revisit Leon's high-octane Adventure game maps to rescue the president's daughter from the clutches of the undead, they don't even need to dust off their long-forgotten PlayStation 2's to jump right back
Apart from the Stagla gas station, some players also identified other easter eggs in the remake such as unique markings on the floor, and various posters that were featured in the original. One such poster promotes an upcoming performance of the Big E band, which players can find in one of the alleyways of the original game. These small details show just how dedicated Capcom is in revitalizing Raccoon City by making it bigger and more alive while making it feel familiar at the same t
Resident Evil 4 also stands as one of the most iconic and popular stories in the series to date, with the return of Leon and the establishment of an entirely new tone for the franchise becoming unanimously celebrated by the fanbase. There's no denying that the game features some of the best moments in the entire series so far, with Leon's first encounter with the game's horrifying villagers , the intense cabin assault, and his battle with the unstoppable Verdugo standing as a mere handful of the game's biggest highlights. It stands to reason that a tale this iconic in terms of both Resident Evil and gaming as a whole deserves to be touched up and re-released in modern-day, regardless of whether or not its original release still holds up under modern scrut
Another insight worth noting from the new trailer is the scene of Jill looking in the mirror while she is seemingly ill and infected. We can assume this is probably after the point that her and Carlos rest in the church for some time, after the Nemesis infects her with the T-Virus. To some close observing fans, it can seem peculiar how much time went by in the actual timeline between Jill resting in the church before Resident Evil 2 began, and October 1st, when the Resident Evil 3 gameplay timeline resumed and Carlos set out to find a cure for Jill in the hospi
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
Finally, the original Plant 43 was not included in the Resident Evil 2 Remake , at least not in its original form. In the original game, Plant 43 was a humanoid-shaped plant-like creature about the size of a human, which attacks the player in the corridors of Umbrella's underground lab beneath Raccoon C
Another feature that will be returning in Resident Evil 3 is the explosive items that are scattered all around Raccoon City, as confirmed in the gameplay preview . Just like in the original game, these explosive items will help players curb the threat of the infected or temporarily slow down Nemesis. It is currently unclear how diverse these explosive items will be in the remake, but the original game included red barrels, wall bombs, and even street lights. So far, we've seen the return of red barrels and the addition of electrical generators, but it is interesting to see whether Capcom will add more of these explosive items in the rem
In 2019's remake of Resident Evil 2 , players were given a glimpse of what it's like to roam the zombie-infested streets of Raccoon City. However, given that the game mostly took place inside the Raccoon City police station , sewer, and Umbrella laboratory, players weren't really able to see just how bad the outbreak hit the once peaceful community. In 1999's Resident Evil 3, players were able to see more of Raccoon City, but due to hardware limitations at that time, the city mostly comprised of narrow alleyways and out of place do
Furthermore, there are a few clues which may reveal a much more expansive version of Raccoon City's outdoor maps to explore. For example, the Collector's Edition of Resident Evil 3 's remake comes with an entire map of Raccoon City in detail. It also states it is a double sided map. While nothing is certain, one side could be a version of Downtown Raccoon City, and the other could be a more detailed map of Uptown, both of which were the outdoor maps in the original game in a much smaller size at the t
There will also be multiple routes that Jill can take to reach her objective, which will give players a chance to strategize which path would be the safest to take, especially when Nemesis can just pop in at any moment. Moreover, the city will remain recognizable to fans but will obviously be richer in detail and will employ a faithful '90s aesthe
