<br>Female characters parting with their hair has been a deliberate sign of growing maturity in media for decades, a changed appearance highlighting that women are willing to leave behind everything in service of something greater. Mulan is the most popular example, with the titular character cutting her gorgeous hair to join the army and assist her ignorant father. It's the opposite of Zelda’s situation - instead of pulling herself away from the royal family, Mulan is doing everything she can to preserve it. But the core motivation remains the same: these are two women who realise a sacrifice must be made, even if it means altering their appearance and walking away from a life of security.<br><br> <br>Back in 2002, Capcom developed a remake of the first Resident Evil game , which was led by series creator Shinji Mikami when he was still employed at Capcom. The remake was first released to the Nintendo GameCube, however, which proved to be a fatal move on Capcom's part given that most Resident Evil games were always released on a PlayStation console. Given this, most fans of Resident Evil were transitioning from the original PlayStation to the PlayStation 2, which is a key factor as to why the game had lackluster sales during its initial rele<br><br> <br>Shortly after its release, the Resident Evil 2 remake received glowing reviews from fans and critics, and it even outsold the lifetime sales of the original game . This goes to show that staying faithful, even when some of the events have been reshuffled, is an important factor for a remake's success. Another thing that fans loved about the RE2 remake is the addition of new storylines and the re-writing of some of the characters and events that all made sense in the grand scheme of things. In the end, the Resident Evil 2 remake is undoubtedly Capcom's most profitable <br><br>Catra from She-Ra and The Princesses of Power and Amity Blight from The Owl House also change their hairstyles to serve their character development, <a href="https://Adventuregameland.com/posts/ingenious-asset-reuse-and-handcrafted-details-behind-shadow-of-the-erdtree-s-world-design">Adventuregameland.Com</a>; whether that be accepting their own sexuality and leaving behind oppressive familial structures or welcoming those who once pushed you away and putting aside a toxic life of villainy. Once again, these are all female characters confronting a heteronormative society and fighting back against it, even if said worlds are fantastical in nature and far more eccentric than our own. If done right, characters can still be grounded and relatable, as their struggles become ones we can sympathise with. It’s beautiful, so perhaps there’s a reason this tried-and-true trope has so much staying power in modern media.<br><br> <br>Resident Evil's G-Virus was essentially a fusion of various T-Virus samples and the Nemesis parasite that were tested on Lisa Trevor over many years. The various T-Virus samples in her body caused her immune system to kill the Nemesis parasite and fuse with it, resulting in the accidental birth of the mighty G-Virus, which Umbrella removed from <br><br> <br>With plenty of rumors buzzing around regarding Resident Evil games lately, there is finally some official news from Capcom regarding Resident Evil 3's Nemesis. Some very significant revelations also link this creature to the all but confirmed Resident Evil 4 Remake Capcom is rumored to be working<br><br> <br>In the end, if Capcom is truly developing a remake of Resident Evil 4 , then it stands to be the best one out of all the remakes, given the experience Capcom has gained with the reimaginings of the first three Resident Evil games. Additionally, the Resident Evil 4 remake is rumored to release at least a year after Resident Evil 8 so Capcom could also use that game as a testing ground on what works and what doesn't even if RE8 is an original game. As of the moment, it is still unclear where the rumored Resident Evil 4 remake will be released but it is likely that it will see the light of day on next-generation platforms alongside the<br><br> <br>After Osmund Saddler, a mysterious bio-weapons research expert, shows up in Spain and revives the cult in Resident Evil 4 , he convinces the the 8th Castellan to give him access to the caves hosting the parasite creatures known as the Las Plagas, which he uses to infect the cultists. However, little is known about Osmund Saddlers background or history in Resident Evil's bio-weapons industry , or how he was drawn to Spain in the first place.
