One of the best games ever made, in the opinion of many, is Resident Evil 4, which is also the best game in the franchise.
Fans anticipated that Capcom would eventually decide to remake Resident Evil 4 given how well so many of the developer’s Resident Evil remakes have performed.
Although the quality of Capcom’s recent works speaks for itself, many fans are concerned that this remake will damage the reputation of the original release.
The fact that Capcom chose to completely abandon fixed camera angles in favor of an over-the-shoulder point of view made the task considerably more difficult.
Resident Evil 4 was a seminal game that altered the survival horror game genre with its focus on action and third-person shooter.
Some people wonder whether a remake is necessary now that Resident Evil 4 has solidified its place among the most significant releases of all time.
Fortunately for fans, a new look at Resident Evil 4 from the most recent Sony State of Play shows that Capcom is making the most of its remake by finding ways to extend the universe and expand its characters.
Here are some of the things you can look forward to when playing the remake!
More Screen Time for Luis Sera
Luis Sera was one of many outstanding characters from the original Resident Evil 4, but he never received the screen time he truly deserved.
While this doesn’t affect the quality of the game much, his carefree charm and humor are sadly missed as the captivating counterpoint to Leon’s too serious, good-boy exterior.
Thankfully, the remake’s teaser made it extremely obvious that Luis is still present and supporting Leon after the infamous cabin raid.
In an area that is identical to the one shown at the conclusion of the first game, Luis is seen riding about in mine carts with Leon and assisting Leon in his fight against a chainsaw-wielding Ganado.
It Feels Like a Buddy Cop Movie
The new trailer has a tone more akin to a buddy cop film, with Luis and Leon joking around as partners rather than as two guys whose broader objectives just so happen to match.
Even if Luis’ larger role has the potential for Luis fatigue, just repeating the original’s plot and character interactions would do nothing to distinguish the remake as its own distinct thing.
Resident Evil 4 is by nature goofy so it’s crucial that Capcom sets the tone for the remake early on while keeping some surprises hidden for longtime fans.
Silly Moments but Even More Scares
By increasing Luis’ involvement, the players are informed that the camp would be there without compromising the intensity of horror or action moments.
The gameplay was also demonstrated in the clip, and it included new enemies and the simultaneous use of both walking and shooting.
Capcom seems to have upped the number of opponents in the remake while also providing the player with additional tools to manage the tension.
Instead of just standing there and shooting, players may evade opposing strikes and participate more actively in the fight, which is a welcome improvement.
What was once thought to be an impossible endeavor is now taking shape as something deserving of the Resident Evil 4 title.
Additionally, Capcom seems to be creating a deserving sequel to the original as it continues to deftly strike a balance between the horror and cheese that the series has been based on.
As is customary with Resident Evil remakes, Capcom aims to modernize a beloved game without leaving behind any of the elements that made the original so spectacular.
