Resident evil 4 remake review Ps4#

Escaping the fire spreading across the streets, they split up and flee for shelter in the Raccoon Police Department. After an opening cutscene sets an ominous tone, Leon and Claire immediately encounter their first group of zombies then narrowly avoid being blown to bits in a tanker explosion. The action starts right away for our two playable heroes: Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. In other words, this version of Resident Evil 2 is so much more than a remake. To me, it's more of an original game that was inspired by the 1998 version as a lot has been changed, upgraded, and improved. However, I have had a chance to watch some gameplay footage of the original game on YouTube to get a better understanding of its history and I've determined that it's not entirely fair to even refer to this new version of Resident Evil 2 as a remake. As I got older, I never bothered to go back and check it out due to the aged mechanics and the vast amounts of newer games I was interested in playing. I was only 12 when the game released and I wasn't allowed to play violent games nor was I all that interested in them. I'll be honest I've never actually played the original Resident Evil 2.

Instead, why not buy some indie games with your hard-earned money? 💰 Well, that's not ominous at all. │ Video Chums has minimal ads and we don't use Patreon. However, none of their revivals have received nearly as much care as this reimagining of Resident Evil 2. Resident Evil 2 is also available for PS5 and Xbox OneĬapcom has been rather eager to re-release their older games on this current generation of consoles.

Given that Resident Evil 4 remake hasn’t even been officially announced or confirmed by the company, this is unsurprising.Reviewed by Tyler Hall playing a PS4 on January 22, 2019 Capcom didn’t respond to VGC’s requests for comment. VGC says that Capcom Division 1’s involvement in the project means many of the original Resident Evil 4 developers are expected to be working on the remake. As Capcom’s highest rated title according to Metacritic, the pressure to get Resident Evil 4 remake exactly right is immense.

The same sources told VGC that both Resident Evil 2 and 3 got similar overhauls mid-development, so its not entirely unusual, particularly when remaking some of the industry’s most beloved titles. X/Tyrant, which was not part of the original game and a significant deviation that was well-received.ĭue to the leadership and direction change, its reported that Resident Evil 4 could see an internal delay by up to a year, pushing the game out to 2023. VGC notes that this is similar to Resident Evil 2’s use of Mr. Capcom’s production teams want to take a more liberal and inspired approach, with features, story beats, and environments in Resident Evil 4 remake allowed to deviate from the blueprint of the original game. M-Two’s plan stems from criticism about 2020’s Resident Evil 3, which sheared off a number of locations and moments from the original game. The disagreement centered on M-Two’s plan to use Resident Evil 4 as a complete blueprint, remaking it beat for beat with few changes overall. VGC reports that a disagreement during a key review meeting last year caused Capcom to diminish M-Two’s role on the project while having Division 1 step in to lead. M-Two, a studio headed by PlatinumGames’ ex-studio head Tatsuya Minami and staffed by a number of other developers from PlatinumGames, contributed to the Resident Evil 3 remake with the ultimate goal of taking on Resident Evil 4 as the lead studio.
