13 Games That Started Out Completely Different

Regardless, whether or not Capcom elects to resurrect Resident Evil 4 for newer hardware, it must be said that the company's love for its older games and dedication to seeing them endure the test of time is commendable. For the thousands of players who were too young or missed the boat on getting to experience the beginning of the franchise, this slate of remakes is an excellent way to recapture the essence of the original titles while also refining the series' formula and producing utterly exceptional produ


Both RE titles are definitive classics in their own right, but which one will be chosen as the next Resident Evil remake. Should it be RE4 that redefined the series entirely? Or should the next RE remake stick with strictly survival horror with Code: Veroni


As of the moment, it is pretty hard to tell whether Capcom was able to surpass Resident Evil 2 with Resident Evil 3 remake for Donkey Kong Bananza sales, given that the reception for the latest reimagining is mixed. Unlike 2019's Resident Evil 2 , Resident Evil 3 remake is significantly different than its original counterpart. Sure, the major plot points of the game still remain true to some extent, but Capcom has been more liberal in switching events around this time. Many players welcomed the changes, but some hardcore fans were not happy with how the game turned out to be, and others criticized it for being too short and leaning too much on action-heavy eleme


To put it into context, Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2's horror elements were derived from the claustrophobic environments that players find themselves in. However, in Resident Evil 3 , horror comes from the fast-paced battles with Nemesis, making every encounter with the monster a near-death experience. This is why most of the action-heavy gameplay of the remake is seen with every Nemesis encounter, which makes sense due to the fact that Nemesis is much smarter and more menacing than Mr. X and the original Tyr


Of course, it would be easier for Capcom to just use the same formula that made Resident Evil 2 remake successful for Resident Evil 3 . However, the studio is aware of the fact that sequels should evolve from its predecessor, and this is exactly why Capcom introduced these changes to the remake . Towards the end of Resident Evil 2 remake , players will notice that the pace of the game is more intense and action-heavy, and Resident Evil 3 remake picks up exactly from that point.

By now, Resident Evil fans should know that Capcom hates to be predictable. It is worth remembering that the remakes of both Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2 were more or less faithful to their original counterparts, but with additional storylines and slightly changed mechanics to give veteran players a new experience.

Although, at its time, Resident Evil 4 was certainly revolutionary when it came to third-person shooters. But in 2020, the game stands out as a product of the past that doesn't live up to current shooter standards. Adding a "run and gun" dynamic to the game would definitely appeal to casual gamers and bring RE4 up to sp


The fourth game is, after all, a staple of video game history. When it dropped back in 2005, it forever changing the landscape of survival horror and launched Resident Evil into the stratosphere, carving out the franchise's unwavering spot as one of the most important IP's in the history of the medium. In many ways, Resident Evil 4 is one of the core reasons that the series is still relevant enough to release AAA blockbuster remakes of its earlier games and have them sell like wildfire. In that regard, why isn't the game already in line for a glitzy, HD reimagining with the budget to match its transcendent leg


Several days ago, Capcom released the highly-anticipated remake of Resident Evil 3 , which takes players back to Raccoon City. Although Capcom previously revealed that both games had an overlap period during development, the massive success of Resident Evil 2 set a high-expectation for the re-imagining of the third game, giving Capcom the insurmountable task of developing a sequel that will surpass its predecessor. A fair warning to readers that this article will have MAJOR SPOILE
