Capcom Needs To Focus On New Games Rather Than Remakes

Hunters were created as Bio-Weapons in Resident Evil with the purpose of unleashing them into environments in order to kill off the remaining minorities among human populations. These were roughly 10% of humans who were naturally immune to the T-Virus, or at least the current strain of the T-Virus at the time, in the early 1980's when the Hunters were crea

The Drain Deimos is yet another terrifying creature which is now confirmed to appear in the remake. Although the new version seems more quadrupedal, it is very likely that it is capable of standing upright. Overall the beast looks more monstrous, and if it's able to do what the original Drain Deimos was, then players have good reason to fear it. The bug-like aspects of this monster have also been amped up in the remake's rendition of the Drain Deimos, invoking images of a giant preying mantis or something of the s


For those unaware, Resident Evil 3: Remake isn't just a remaster with better graphics, but a completely reimagined version of the Adventure game maps. As with any remake, it is important that developers reinvigorate the beloved game with new and more modern ideas and mechanics, but equally important that they avoid changing too much so as to step on the toes of the original. So far, Resident Evil 3 Remake seems to be doing this well, as is evidenced by the spot-on recreations of its many, harrowing monst


Breath of Fire would be a great option for a remake, given it can still revive some much needed 1990's nostalgia in giving such a remake a necessary jumpstart, while designing it with new fans in mind as well. Though Breath of Fire 2 was considered to be more polished, either games would be essentially new games under a contemporary repackging, so it may make more sense to just start with remaking the first g


Yet, it's worth remembering that Resident Evil 4 is undeniably one of the series' most pivotal entries. The action-centric format that eventually went onto define the later games in the series was done to perfection in 4 , with the game completely reinventing what it meant to play a Resident Evil title . It goes without saying that while a remake might not be as utterly transformative as games like Resident Evil 2 and the upcoming remake of the third game, there's still a lot of merit in updating Resident Evil 4's combat and clunky controls to show just how incredible the game's core gameplay and set of mechanics were back in the day. Fixing the aiming so players can move while shooting and adding some of the incredible nuances that made Resident Evil 2 such an immersive next step for the series would go a long way if added to the fourth game, especially if done so alongside a major visual overha


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


Other enemies from the original Resident Evil 3 game, including Brain Suckers, Drain Demos, Zombie Dogs, and even a Tyrant T-103 have not yet been confirmed. However, there is no strong reason to believe any of them would be excluded from Resident Evil 3 Remake , especially when considering that Resident Evil 2 Remake remained fairly faithful to its original adapt


Given that players will be exploring Raccoon City itself rather than just one building, the remake will be introducing some sort of a fast travel system for players to get around the city. It appears that Jill Valentine will be able to utilize the subway system to visit various areas of the city, and the subway will be serving as some sort of a hub connecting the game's many locations. This feature is not present in the original 1999 title, although players were able to access a cable car. However, the cable car would only take them straight to the Clock Tower before it gets destroyed for g


One returning location that players will be able to explore is the Stagla gas station from the 1999 game. Resident Evil 3 veterans would remember that it is in the gas station where the oil can be found, which has to be mixed with an oil additive before it can be used to restart the cable car. Players would also remember that immediately after leaving the area, the gas station would blow up, and it will be interesting to see whether this will also happen in the rem


Regardless, whether or not Capcom elects to resurrect Resident Evil 4 for newer hardware, it must be said that the company's love for its older games and dedication to seeing them endure the test of time is commendable. For the thousands of players who were too young or missed the boat on getting to experience the beginning of the franchise, this slate of remakes is an excellent way to recapture the essence of the original titles while also refining the series' formula and producing utterly exceptional produ
