Capcom released on Friday a trailer for the interactive Resident Evil 4 Remake. The six-minute interactive video follows spy Leon Kennedy as he works to rescue Ashley Graham, the girlfriend of the United States president. The makeover is aesthetically pleasing and inspiring. Capcom’s strategy for the Resident Evil 4 remake has become more transparent. Capcom’s story trailer and IGN’s gameplay preview both confirm that the developer has not tampered with the game’s fundamentals despite increasing the horror levels.
Resident Evil 4 Remake Is Much Scarier
The Resident Evil 4 Remake is scarier than the original (especially during the game’s cutscenes), but it appears that all the mayhem from the original RE4 has been preserved. You are up against swarms of diseased people who will not think twice about using a chainsaw or pitchfork to sever your digestive tract from your body.
The plot of the remake still centers on special agent Leon Kennedy’s quest to save Ashley Graham, the daughter of the United States president, from a Spanish village ruled by a parasite-worshipping cult. However, as you probably guessed, things immediately go awry. Do not think you are getting a recap. Capcom has stressed that while the over-the-shoulder perspective and other mechanics from RE4 will return (with updated controls), the development team is “reimagining” elements of the story.
On March 24, 2023, Resident Evil 4 will be remade for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam). When the PlayStation VR2 is released, owners will have access to exclusive content. While not as massive a change as in previous games (which featured complete overhauls of the series’ gameplay), this is nonetheless a significant update. Because of the radical changes, it introduced to the series’ gameplay and narrative, RE4 was a huge success. Redesigning the game 17 years later means finding a happy medium between paying homage to the game’s surprising turn and meeting players’ higher standards.
