13 Games That Started Out Completely Different

A new experience for the series, _ Resident Evil Resistance _ is the online mode that comes featured with _ Resident Evil 3 . _ It will be available to play on the same day as the single-player campaign. _ Resistance _ is a one versus four asymmetrical online multiplayer mode that pits one overpowered player, known as the Mastermind, against four players, known as the survivors, in distr


Given this, the personalities of both playable characters weren't as fleshed-out, especially when compared to modern games. However, based on dialogue alone, Jill did not really embody the traits of a traditional video game heroine, and while she is capable enough to handle the situation she's in, she lacked the flair and personality that is common in today's video game protagonist. But in retrospect, even if it wasn't intentional, Capcom's portrayal of Jill in the first Resident Evil game does make sense, given that this game served as her origin story. Prior to the mansion incident, Jill has no experience in dealing with bioweapons, so it wouldn't really make sense to portray her as a badass bioweapon killing machine when this is the first time that she even knew bioweapons exis


Resident Evil 4 represents a completely different challenge compared to the recently released remakes. Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 both initially came out on the first PlayStation console way back in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Sony's first console didn't have the luxury of rendering highly complex character models or 3D environments, storing larger amounts of data, and any other modern conveniences games from the mid-to-late 2000s onward have. Resident Evil 4 came out for the GameCube in 2005, and though it wasn't necessarily the first fully dimensional Resident Evil game, it was the first to take advantage of next-generation hardware to craft a highly detailed wo


Overall, it is evident based on recent information released that Resident Evil 3' s map will be much more expansive than its original counterpart. Given this, it is interesting to see whether the more vibrant Raccoon City would also bring additional storylines that could center around other characters such as Brad Vickers, Mikhail Viktor, Dario Rosso, or even perhaps other unknown citizens of the doomed city. Luckily, players will soon be able to experience Raccoon City themselves with a playable Resident Evil 3 demo coming out soon , followed by the game's release date shortly af


Whether or not they agree that revisiting Resident Evil 4 should be the next major step for the series going forward, nobody can deny that Capcom 's work over the last few years is quickly ushering in an incredibly bright future for the franchise going forward. Here's to hoping that Resident Evil 3 will be yet another stellar stepping stone to more incredible Resident Evil games in the future, whether that leads to a remake of the fourth game or a new title entir


Resident Evil 4 , though featuring plenty of familiar cramped spaces that the franchise was known for, was the first Survival horror game to truly blow the world out into a more vast, open-air world. The game still remained true to the core of Resident Evil , but Resident Evil 4 was revolutionary not only for the franchise but for games in general. Despite being confined to the series' trademark tank controls, the game was incredibly innovative in perfecting the third-person shooter genre. The over-the-shoulder camera design in Resident Evil 4 greatly succeeded where many other precursor games had experimented and failed in previously. Some of the best third-person shooters released since 2005 have Resident Evil 4 to thank for its incredible aiming technol


At its core, Grand Theft Auto is a game about being a criminal and committing heinous acts. But it wasn't always that way. Back when Grand Theft Auto was called Race 'n' Chase , players were actually allowed to choose whether they wanted to play as the police or the criminal. Furthermore, the game wasn't about completing missions or free-roaming, but rather, it was a multiplayer racing g


Though the reveal trailer was brief, a section of it showed a significant addition to the original story of _ Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, _ and there were a few moments that appeared to be from a cut-scene in the game held in first-person camera. With the exception of _ Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, _ first-person camera has not had any significant role in the ser


Apart from the Stagla gas station, some players also identified other easter eggs in the remake such as unique markings on the floor, and various posters that were featured in the original. One such poster promotes an upcoming performance of the Big E band, which players can find in one of the alleyways of the original game. These small details show just how dedicated Capcom is in revitalizing Raccoon City by making it bigger and more alive while making it feel familiar at the same t


The game is also bursting with depth in every aspect of its design as a video game. From the core shooting mechanic to challenging dungeons and puzzles, incremental but satisfying weapon progression, heavily varied environment design, a well-balanced rising difficulty, and even some more miniscule details bring this game to life greater than many at the time. And it didn't have to be a 40-60 hours long experience to feel like players got their money's worth. Very few games felt like such a complete package as Resident Evil 4 did; Resident Evil 4 pioneered a lot for modern video games , not just the series its
