Capcom Needs To Focus On New Games Rather Than Remakes

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


Hot off the heels of its Donkey Kong Country successes, Rare had quickly become one of Nintendo's most important partners in the industry. The studio was then entrusted with creating a game based on the James Bond film GoldenEye 007 , and before it became one of the most critically-acclaimed FPS games of all time, it went through a couple of other iterati

Even when the dust had settled, however, Street Fighter 5 drew plenty of well-aimed criticism for the content on show. The title’s story mode proved to be extremely short, with even Capcom itself admitting that it could be beaten easily within 1-2 hours . Fans of the franchise immediately took the story mode to task, with one user even able to get his 6-month old baby to beat the ga


Although Resident Evil 3 is not a bad remake, it is important to acknowledge that it's not perfect either. Similar to its original counterpart, the game's main campaign is relatively short , due to the fact that the remake did not include any additional storylines to the adventure Game story guide. Sure, UBCS member Tyrell may have been given an expanded role in the game, but Brad Vickers died too soon, Dario Rosso's appearance is mostly just for the sake of having him there, and players didn't even get to meet and know the civilians that Jill and Carlos fought so hard to res


It is important to recall that in Resident Evil 2 , the outbreak actually started a few days earlier, on September 23, when Dr. William Birkin infected himself with the G-Virus and contaminated Raccoon City's sewers and water supply with the T-Vi

Additionally, Resident Evil 3 lacks build-up and most of the time it feels like the game expects that its already players know Resident Evil 3's story and characters from the original game. Moreover, every encounter with Nemesis is scripted , which takes away the element of surprise similar to Resident Evil 2's Mr. X, and while Nemesis is definitely more terrifying than the original, his appearances are mostly predicta


As of the moment, it is pretty hard to tell whether Capcom was able to surpass Resident Evil 2 with Resident Evil 3 remake for sales, given that the reception for the latest reimagining is mixed. Unlike 2019's Resident Evil 2 , Resident Evil 3 remake is significantly different than its original counterpart. Sure, the major plot points of the game still remain true to some extent, but Capcom has been more liberal in switching events around this time. Many players welcomed the changes, but some hardcore fans were not happy with how the game turned out to be, and others criticized it for being too short and leaning too much on action-heavy eleme


Of course, it would be easier for Capcom to just use the same formula that made Resident Evil 2 remake successful for Resident Evil 3 . However, the studio is aware of the fact that sequels should evolve from its predecessor, and this is exactly why Capcom introduced these changes to the remake . Towards the end of Resident Evil 2 remake , players will notice that the pace of the game is more intense and action-heavy, and Resident Evil 3 remake picks up exactly from that point. Looking at both games as a whole, Resident Evil 3 perfectly compliments Resident Evil 2 , which is what a good sequel should


The Licker Zombie appears to be a regular zombie with a Licker's head and iconic tongue. This creature is shown in concept art that can be unlocked in Resident Evil 2 remake where the licker zombie was supposed to appear in. The origins of the Licker Zombie remains unclear, but it is possible that these monsters are Lickers that still haven't fully transformed. Another popular theory surrounding these monsters is that they are the result of Lickers infecting a zombie host. It is also unclear why this monster never made it to Resident Evil 2 remake given that its appearance alone looks terrifying, but it would be awesome to see this monster come to life in Resident Evi


Now, the subsequent creatures that are featured on this list are monsters that were developed by Capcom for other Resident Evil games that did not make the final cut. Headlining this list is the ultra-creepy Spider-Man, which is a monster design that was rejected during the development of the Resident Evil 0 . The monster appears to be a giant tarantula spider that is taking over a human host. The monster design surfaced during the Developer Diary video of Resident Evil 0 Remaster , and while unlikely, it is interesting to see this design come to life in Resident Evi


Additionally, the significant changes that Capcom introduced in Resident Evil 3 remake allowed players to experience the same story but in a different way. Unlike in Resident Evil 2 , Capcom was more liberal in shuffling around the sequences of events in Resident Evil 3 . A good number of locations from the original game such as the park, the graveyard, and the dead factory were removed in favor of a more expansive hospital and the introduction of NES
