Long-rumored and first revealed at Sony's State of Play earlier this month, Capcom's initial teaser trailer showed us a much more cinematic-feeling remake of Resident Evil 4. The trailer began with Leon meeting the President of the United States to receive personal mission orders to rescue his daughter Ashley from a mysterious cult in Spain (hence the Spanish guitar). Ashley is then seen running from an unseen pursuer, while Leon arrives at a much darker Las Plagas village than players might remember from the 2005 original.
Capcom only showed a little additional gameplay in the second trailer, but what they revealed was a much darker, moodier Resident Evil 4 than the original. Resident Evil 4 producer Yasuhiro Anpo also confirmed the dev team will be "carefully preserving" the original feeling of Resident Evil 4 while updating it with fresh looks and mechanics.
