Two years have passed since Capcom launched the eighth installment of its most prolific survival horror saga and now, a few days after another planetary event, the shadow of one of the most remembered Resident Evil looms in the distance. The fourth part returns with a Remake that is blessed glory and once again raises the flag of Japanese classics high.
behind you stupid
It’s been almost 20 years since Resident Evil 4 transported us to rural Spain and put us in fear of a bunch of angry villagers. Now, Capcom, in its effort to recover the most classic titles of the franchise to the ways and uses of the new generations, gives us back a superb title, with its expressions in badly said Spanish and everything. However, even if the word remake is present, don’t think that it’s just a facelift of the original game and that’s it.
This is why here we bring you five reasons to return to Resident Evil 4 Remake looking sideways at the original game and that you should keep in mind. With nothing else to say, let’s get started.
Changes in the design of some characters
As usual with this series of Resident Evil remakes , the vast majority of the characters have undergone a small redesign to fit better with the new consoles. In the case of the new title, the most notable work has been that of Ashley which, despite preserving its essence, has undergone the odd minor change.
An improved combat
Like any title from 20 years ago, the combat was not the most natural that we say. Now, with the new generation consoles, the roundhouse kicks that Leon Kennedy gave to the farmers from La Mancha are more forceful. Additionally, the famous laser sight on Leon’s weapon now allows for more precise and comfortable aiming.
Extended zones
One of the few complaints that could be attributed to the original game is that some areas were very underdeveloped, especially those that served -for example- as shelter for a boss. However, in the new version, it does not matter if it is a room in which you are two hours or two seconds that will be developed to its maximum potential.
Ashley is no longer a nuisance
Without a doubt, the thing that annoyed fans of the original game the most in 2004 were the sections where we had to escort Ashley, who at times seemed like she was launching herself at enemies on purpose. In the new remake , artificial intelligence has been redone from scratch and now this character will be much more proactive when it comes to staying alive. Well done Capcom.
Secret changes in history?
Finally Capcom has decided to make some small changes to the story of the game. Which are? We will not tell you since the company has decided to keep them under lock and key -and confidentiality clauses- until the game goes on sale.
