When I heard they're going to remake Resident Evil 4… /QwqUgMNd7h While the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes were widely well-received, news of a Resident Evil 4 remake was met with some trepidation by fans who feared Capcom was potentially tampering with a classic.
It introduced the more action-heavy, over-the-shoulder 3rd person mechanics which came to define future Resident Evil games and was adopted by many shooters that followed. Resident Evil 4 is widely considered one of the best video games of all-time, and unlike the Playstation 1 releases of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil 4 still holds up well by modern standards. Shinji Mikami, the original Resident Evil 4 director, gave his blessing for the remake but declined to direct it. The studio offered some assistance on the recent Resident Evil 3 remake, but has been focusing on a Resident Evil 4 remake since 2018. The project will be helmed by studio M-Two, led by former Platinum Games head Tatsuya Minami. It is looking at a release window of 2022.
The news was broken yesterday by VideoGameChronicle, who cited multiple sources about the remake's development. Fresh off the success of their Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes, Capcom has set its sights on the next title in the franchise: Resident Evil 4.
