A reader looks forward to the recently announced remake of Resident Evil 4 but is insistent that the one that shouldn’t change is the cheesy tone.

So we’re finally getting a full Resident Evil 4 remake. Rightly regarded as one of the best games ever made, I’ll be keeping a constant eye on what they will, and will not, retain from the original.

Here are five things that I’d like to see either added or kept.

5. 4K and a totally locked 60fps

I’m not too tech obsessed, which is why I’m never overwhelmed by ray-tracing. Horizon Forbidden West looked stunning without it. However, a locked 60fps is a must as it ties in with number 4.

4. Run and shoot gunplay

The original introduced the over the shoulder shooting mechanic and whilst the stand and shoot method added more tension I can’t see them retaining it. I’d like to see tension given by more advanced artificial intelligence, where zombies break off from the main pack to counter your actions. DualSense support would be great to give you warning of ambushes from the rear via rumble or microphone screams. This really would benefit from no slowdown.

3. Inventory system change

Only really a minor one. Looking back, it was pretty unwieldy, with constant overloading and continually re-orientating your items. Maybe you only have a limited load out which you can interchange at number 2.
