The new ‘Resident Evil 4’ makes clear the key to good remakes: differentiate yourself as much as possible from the original game

The conference dedicated to ‘Resident Evil’ that Capcom presented a few hours ago had its climax with the news about the remake of ‘Resident Evil 4’, which will arrive on March 24 on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. We have been able to see a new trailer and also a good dose of gameplaywith the deservedly mythical sequences in which Leon confronts the wild villagers who want to make mincemeat of him.

Capcom is very clear that to shine in comparison to one of the most beloved games in the franchise, the original bridge between the tense survival horror originals and the leap towards more action-oriented development, the only option is to differentiate yourself. The graphic jump is spectacular, as do the action and combat sequences that await us, more frontal and dynamic than in the original title.

Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, producer of ‘Resident Evil 4’, has stressed that this remake proposes an experience faithful to the original material, but with new ideas that allow the fear to be reformulated on screen. Among the novelties that he has commented on are new attacks for cattle and the importance of knowing how to manage resources and improvements for survival: “using the briefcase well will be key. In addition to managing weapons and objects and synthesizing herbs, it allows you to manufacture ammunition and other objects” .

The event also revealed the special editions that will be released of the game: a Deluxe Edition, which will include DLC to modify Leon with costumes, weapons, a treasure map and accessories, plus the possibility of changing the soundtrack for the original themes. . The Collector’s Edition, only available physically and in some territories, will add to the Deluxe a metallic box, a Leon figure, a map, an art book, the soundtrack and a box to put everything.
