I know we all have our nostalgia goggles equipped in our inventory, but the graphics could-and will-look better than they did on the GameCube and various HD remasters. Heh, the internet, amiright, Capcom? Anyway, my next demand is about… The Cutscenesįirst off, we all know the graphics are going to be better. What are they going to complain about? So then, you can preemptively fix it! Only so they can immediately move on to micromanage or nitpick another aspect or artistic choice you made. It’s part of the series’ DNA.Īlso, in the audio settings, make the original voice recording option available, because you have to think like the internet.

It’s like a Star Wars movie without the line, “I have a bad feeling about this.” Yeah, most savvy movie goers know about it-and what a Wilhelm Scream is for that matter-but it’s just expected at this point, so when it’s not there, people are just gonna go, “Aw man, they didn’t do it.” That’s not fan service, that’s just sticking to the little details of the franchise people love. I noticed its absence at the beginning of RE3 Remake and it’s such an odd omission. So just have a new voice actor say “Resident Evil 4…” Don’t leave it out. Most RE games have it, but the RE3 remake left it out. In the original RE4, when you start, or load, your game the announcer says “Resident Evil 4….” in that gravelly Don LaFontaine tone. When I start a Resident Evil game, I want to hear someone say the title. So since they’re gonna go ahead and remake RE4, and there’s nothing I can do about it, I figured I might offer a few suggestions to the folks at Capcom. Much like RE3 Remake itself, Capcom often manages to exceed and recede our expectations at the same time. Perhaps they played the stunning Resident Evil remake on GameCube, along with the wholly original prequel Resident Evil 0.

Even if they hadn’t played the original three on the PSX, they probably went back and played them afterwards. It was the gateway game that got people interested in the series. Resident Evil 4 is the one most people (outside of purists, and fans of puzzles that are either painfully simplistic or maddeningly obtuse) love the most. However, Capcom apparently misheard me, and have ignored the preemptive cries of 2 million RE fans begging them not to touch their most beloved entry, and have decided to remake Resident Evil 4 instead. I speak, of course, about Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. Hot off the heels of the Resident Evil 3 remake’s massive commercial success, the team at Capcom are reportedly at work on remaking the last game in the series that needs a proper face lift.
