No more remakes I watched the Capcom Showcase on Monday purely to see a bit more on the Resident Evil 4 remake, but in the end they hardly showed anything at all. Certainly not enough to judge anything about the gameplay or tone, although like many I’m worried about the complete lack of cheese so far. The accent for Luis was hilariously bad but I’m not convinced that was on purpose, knowing what a poor ear for accents most Americans tend to have (and I’m sure all the voice acting is being done in America, I believe the scripts are even written there too nowadays).

I don’t know how they’re even going to try and take seriously half of what is in Resident Evil 4, so I imagine they’ll simply leave it out. Resident Evil 3 was such a disappointment because they took out all the weird memorable stuff and just left it as Resident Evil 2 but not as good.

I’m sure they’ll have lots of sieges, especially the village scene at the beginning, in the Resident Evil 4 remake, but if you don’t have the wacky stuff as well then why call it Resident Evil 4? Just make a new spin-off from that timeline or something, people would be just as interested in a Resident Evil 4-2, I think.

I’m glad to hear that the series is moving back to a third person view, with the Village DLC, but as soon as you do that you lessen the need for these remakes in the first place. Just get on and make new things and stop trying to reheat and resell something that was a perfect game in its day but now should just be considered a product of its time. This remake
