He also said that once everything was completed, they would put each section together and figure out how each section worked with each other to create a holistic experience.Īs reported by Twisted Voxel, in addition to dispelling the island rumour, Hirabayashi said the section would feature more content than the first Resident Evil 4. “Through this way, each team could be more exhaustive when they build up each segment of the game and add more details that could have be added before.” Those parts are the village, the castle, and the island. Given the ambiguously grimdark announcement trailer, many were justifiably worried, given the anodyne Resident Evil 3, that the remake would drain all the humour and silliness out of the game but from what we’ve seen so far that’s not the case at all.In the magazine, Hirabayashi explained that the team behind the remake is split into three groups, with each group responsible for building the different parts of the game. At which point Leon questions whether they’ve all gone to bingo – a gloriously awful line that’s taken straight from the original script. The village siege only ends when a bell rings out, calling the villages to the nearby castle. They’re small changes but sensible and perfectly welcome ones, especially as Capcom has still kept things like Leon’s over-the-top roundhouse kick. You can button mash to escape from an enemy too, but this will cost you a smidgeon of a health. Your knife now gets damaged every time you use it, but to compensate it’s much more effective and also works with a new parry move. There are other new mechanics too and not just the crafting element for bullets, from more modern entries in the series.

#Resident evil 4 remake news how to#
This was the real revelation back in the day, as you’re given complete freedom, and no instruction, as to how to survive an unending wave of infected villagers, who will not only chase you round the buildings but break down doors to get at you and even put up ladders if you barricade yourself upstairs.Īll of this is recreated in the remake, and it looks and feels fantastic, as you desperately try to keep a safe distance between enemies, while searching for extra ammo and listening out for the dreaded sound of a chainsaw and the arrival of Dr Salvador (who now looks amusingly grotesque with his weirdly spaced eyeballs protruding from the hessian sack atop his head). If you have played the original before you’ll know exactly what comes after the house: the village and one of the best set pieces in video game history. Getting out of the house involves crashing through a window, accompanied by the endearingly terrible one-liner ‘I’ll let myself out!’ The new voiceovers are all new but they fit the tone, and your memory of the original, perfectly. Resident Evil 4 remake – there’s a lot of evil resident in these parts (pic: Capcom) Lest anyone forget, the original popularised the whole concept of third person shooters, especially those with an over-the-shoulder view when aiming, and was an acknowledged inspiration for Gears Of War. The first house you come across, inhabited by several of the game’s not-zombie enemies, is a little larger than before and works as a more explicit tutorial for the otherwise straightforward controls. Even Leon’s famously floppy hair is perfect, with none of the mild compromise of Resident Evil 2. Not only is it impressive on a technical level (the way shadows play against some chicken wire crates looks amazing) but it’s still rendered in the 50 shades of brown colour palette of the era, which someone manages to make you feel nostalgic for playing a game in near monochrome. Despite all its many other qualities, the original Resident Evil 4 is one of the least scary entries in the franchise, but the remake seems like it will be different, with the wooded area you initially arrive in looking incredibly spooky and realistic. There’s less dialogue with the two hapless policemen though and so your first impressions are dominated by the superb graphics and the game’s lingering sense of dread.
