Capcom Needs to Focus On New Games Rather Than Remakes

Of course, this is not to say that Jill's previous portrayals were bad, in-fact they still remain iconic and became foundations of Capcom's approach to her redesign. But nostalgic glasses aside, Capcom's latest portrayal of Jill Valentine, with her toned-down realistic outfit , and a stronger personality, is a step in the right direction, which hopefully, will remain consistent with any other appearances she may have in future Resident Evil ga

Yet again, however, it's not a game that is likely to set the pulse of any players racing, and gamers could hardly be blamed for suspecting that the title could fall flat upon release. If Capcom is to keep its position in the industry, then a level of innovation needs to be maintained. Perhaps the only sure-fire way to do this is to break this emphasis on remakes and spin-offs, particularly if brand new titles continue to fail to live up to expectati

services.phpDuring her iconic comeback in 1999's Resident Evil 3 , players saw a hardened Jill Valentine. Her opening monologue alone showed her desire to take down Umbrella and bring justice to the deaths of her S.T.A.R.S. teammates. In this game, Capcom did a great job in portraying her as a member of an elite police squad, which was obvious in her more confident attitude in dealing with the Raccoon City outbreak , her reluctance to team up with the U.B.C.S., and the way she singlehandedly defeated Nemesis. In succeeding games, Capcom remained consistent with its portrayal of Jill, and many players knew her as a reliable partner to her comrades, but a nightmare to her enem

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

For fans of these classic titles, remastered and re-released games will no doubt prove hugely worthwhile. However, looking into Capcom’s original games of late, a lot has been found wanting, with a lacklustre critical response to some of the company’s most recent blockbusters. In short, some of Capcom’s output has been disappointing for fans who expect the level of quality that it has historically been able to prov

It appears there may more content in Resident Evil 3's remake drawing us into the overall events that transpired before September 28, in the days leading up to Raccoon City's downfall, as opposed to the original game which more or less jumps right into the chaos. It can still be assumed that the transition from a city on high alert to a city in absolute anarchy happens pretty quick from the date of Sunday, September 27, 1998, to the evening of September 28, 1998, when Resident Evil 3's gameplay begins and Jill exits her apartment build

Whether their second skin is simply strong, bestowed with superpowers or artificial intelligence, or just pleasing to the eye, a video game hero's armor is likely to become every bit as famous as their name. There are endless suits to choose from, but here's our list of the coolest video Adventure game missions armor s

All in all, Street Fighter 5 has been a bit of a disaster for Capcom, with some even claiming that the game has essentially been released in an unfinished state . Unfortunately, it is far from the only flawed title to be released from Capcom’s stables. Although Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was well-received , and the Monster Hunter series has continued to maintain a very strong following, those stand-out classics that the company was known for seem to be drying

Resident Evil 3 remake is set to release this April, which is the latest title in the original RE trilogy to get a remake. However, aside from zombies and other monsters, the first three Resident Evil games had something else in common given that they all took place in Raccoon City, or at least in its outskirts as is the case in the first Resident Evil . Throughout Resident Evil's 23-year history, Raccoon City has been re-imagined countless times, but how will Resident Evil 3 remake portray the doomed c

Apart from the many new changes that will be introduced in Resident Evil 3 remake's Raccoon City, it appears that Capcom is also committed to making the town feel familiar to fans who have played the original game. Fabiano revealed that there will be tons of easter eggs lying around the city, and some eagle-eyed fans have already identified a few based on recent trailers and gameplay footage of the upcoming g

Resident Evil 4 , while arguably not up to the technical standards of many modern experiences, is far from as obsolete as the franchise's first handful of entries. The over-the-shoulder camera, third-person aiming, and overall format utilized in the reimagining of Resident Evil 2 was, after all, first established throughout 4's sensational rebranding of the series back in 2005. In fact, one of the remake's most critically acclaimed features was its faithful resurrection of the systems and mechanics first established in the fourth game, with many citing Resident Evil 2's remake as a return to form for the franchise's classic formula. With its design emulating Resident Evil 4 so closely, it begs the question of whether a remake would seem unnecessary; almost acting as more of a visual touch up than a full reimagining of the original ti
