Resident Evil 4 Remake is giving its news, but the latest revelations from the developers are likely to strongly divide fans. More than with the original.
It may be said, Resident Evil 4 is one of the most cult episodes of the license. At the time, the game reinvented the codes of the saga by opting for a brand new camera, a very Hollywood-style staging and a tendency towards action which was slowly beginning to take hold.
Reisdent Evil 4 Remake isn’t just going to make friends
If the game received an excellent reception from the press and players, Resident Evil 4 is also the first game to have divided its fanbase so much. The reasons for such a division of the community were numerous, and one of them may once again be talked about in the remake. Spoiler alert!
Interviewed in the magazine EDGE (reported on Twitter), the developers have indeed claimed that the last segment of the game will indeed be present and even more. We are obviously talking here about the famous island stuffed with military structures and armored mutants armed with sulphates and other rocket launchers. Right here, resident Evil 4 was sinking into pure and hard action after having made us rise in pressure for hours, but not only, since the island also brought horrific passages well felt passing for example by the prison (Ada) or the laboratories .
But for many, it is on the island that Resident Evil 4 turned into a real TPS and lost its luster, to conclude with an explosive final clash with rocket launchers. A home stretch that clearly did not please the fans, even among those who, however, obviously liked the rest of the game. But that could change, however.
During the interview, the developers explain to us that they have split into three teams to work each on their own on the three acts of the game: the village, the castle and the island. At the end of development, all its teams met to rework each part and review the rhythm of each of them to bring consistency to the whole.
The last act does not please all fans
The island will therefore be back in Resident Evil 4 Remake and the developers even claim that “it will bring much more” than in the original game. Simple words whose meaning is not yet truly determined. Should we expect more importance than just an explosive final sprint like in the base game? Or a total overhaul of the section? Good question.
At first glance, if Resident Evil 4 Remake still retains the action aspect, traditional horror should indeed be there. During our preview, we also noted a real work on the atmosphere, more anxiety-provoking than in the original game. However, it is difficult to know if this will last throughout the adventure.
Fans, meanwhile, will certainly be hoping that the final act cuts back on its action-packed action a tad and avoids diving back into the Hollywood shooter. Anyway, if he decides to throw himself body and soul into the action, we hope he will do it well since so far for the license, it has never really given very good results controller in hand, in particular because of the gameplay, always so heavy, which never seems to really assume what it offers, regardless of the episode. And it’s not Resident Evil 5, 6 and Village which will make us say the opposite.
