<br>Resident Evil 8 new UI is said to resemble both Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 4 , and the sequel would feature a new currency system, a first-person perspective, and multiple returning characters including Ethan, Mia, and Chris Redfield. While a few of the details are yet to be properly explained or elaborated on by Capcom, so far, all of the early rumors for Resident Evil: Village have been spot on. Additional rumors have also expanded on a new playable character called Emily that aids Ethan while searching for her missing father, the use of a flashlight (seen at the beginning of the trailer), large outdoor areas, and three new villains known as Alan R., Natalia, and the return of Alex Wesker from Resident Evil: Revelations<br><br> <br>However, the one thing that disappointed fans the most is the content of the original that never made it to the remake. Several locations such as the Raccoon City park, the Undead factory, and the Clock Tower were either scrapped, replaced, or unexplored. A few enemies such as the giant worm, spiders, and many more were also not featured in the remake. Of course, the overall plot is still the same, but fans were not happy that the Resident Evil 3 remake was split in two with the first half being the main game, and the second half featuring Resident Evil Resistance, which some fans blame to be the reason for Resident Evil 3's demise. Despite the criticisms though, Capcom said that while the commercial performance of Resident Evil 3 remake pales in comparison to its predecessor, it is what the studio expected, given that RE2 has always been more popular than R<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>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 <a href="https://adventuregameland.com/posts/nintendo-s-unsung-heroes-the-finest-adventures-beyond-mario">underrated Nintendo heroes</a> 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>It does something that a remake or remaster can never do. No matter how much Mass Effect Legendary Edition or Spyro Reignited may look like how we remember them, they’ll never be able to capture the experience of playing games as a kid. Revisiting classics through remasters and remakes definitely induces nostalgia, and they have the power to trigger all manner of memories and feelings from the past, but a fresh coat of paint just isn’t enough to truly bring me back. Resident Evil 4 VR, despite it being a completely different format, has moved me in ways a normal remake never could. This game makes me regress, and from talking to other people and watching streamers play it, it seems to be doing the same thing to everyone that grew up with Leon’s Spanish advent<br><br> <br>VR remakes like Resident Evil 4 are a much easier sell to non-VR players than other games in the medium. I can preach about how remarkable Half-Life: Alyx is until everyone hates me (which happens often) but it's impossible to really understand how great that game is unless you play it for yourself. This has always been a huge barrier for VR, which is why Oculus was so keen on developing a wireless model that could more easily be taken on the go and shared with friends. People need to try VR before they really get it, but remakes of classic games like RE4 might just be compelling enough to convince people to take the dive sight unseen. "It’s Resident Evil 4, but you’re actually walking through the village yourself" is easy to wrap your head around, and a pretty intriguing premise <br><br> <br>But, assuming that Resident Evil 4 remake is in the works, how should Capcom approach its re-imagining? Well, given that Resident Evil 4 will be the fourth major remake of a mainline Resident Evil game, it stands to be one of the best. The reason for this is that Capcom has already remade the first three Resident Evil games, with each game giving the studio feedback from fans and critics on which elements of the remake did or did not work. Now, based on the reception of each of the Resident Evil remakes, here are the lessons that Capcom should implement in the development of Resident Evil<br><br> <br>Earlier this year, Capcom released its latest remake, which is a reimagining of the events of Resident Evil 3 . Of course, given the success of the RE2 remake one year prior, fans had high expectations on the Resident Evil 3 remake. Unfortunately, when the game finally released last April, fans were a bit disappointed by how far the RE3 remake strayed from the original . Sure, it still retained the basic premise of RE3 but the sequence of events has been reshuffled so much that it is barely recognizable from the origi<br>
