Resident Evil 4 Remake

Rumour: M-Two Working on Remake of ‘Resident Evil 4’

A few weeks back, it was reported that Resident Evil 3 remake co-dev M-Two was in the process of working on another remake. Sadly, according to the report by VGC, it’s not Dino Crisis, but 2005’s Resident Evil 4. The apparent remake has been batted around M-Two since 2018, and now has an estimated release window in 2022.

According to the report, it’s also understood that the remake has the blessing of original game director, Shinji Mikami. Mikami declined to head the production, but has been available as a consultant.

RE4 has been ported numerous times since its original Gamecube release, but this is the first time that it’s being completely remake. And while the significance of the game in reinventing the series (for better and for worse) can’t be understated, does it really need to get the remake treatment over, say, Code: Veronica X? That is, if these rumours are to be believed. Source

Yes sir!

Doesn't really need a remake, code veronica does though

[darkness2918]

I would’ve figured they remake Code Veronica since I don’t think RE4 really needs one. It would be nice if the remake followed the RE 3.5 version & not just remake the RE4 we got.

I'd rather have a remake of 1 or CV.

4 definitely needs a remake. For one thing, it'll be 17 years old in 2022. Second, the story needs cleaning up. It's a mess as is, and it ruined the series momentum by getting rid of umbrella off-handedly in the opening monologue. Correcting that mistake would be a major boon. Third, Ashley sucks. Ellie in TLoU was seven years ago. They can REALLY due with updating both Ashley's AI and her writing. Leon could use an overhaul too. He's a cocky dude bro in that game, and it's nothing like 2 or even 6's portrayal, where he was a dork. Confident at times, yes, but still a major loveable dork.

Also, moving while shooting. Yes please. Bring back the dodge from RE3 remake as well. Tighten up the castle, and if the island needs to stay, make it less of a boring slog with gun toting enemies. Everyone gave 5/6 crap for that, but it was 4 that started the trend. Same with the QTE's everyone complained about.

Hell, have playable flashbacks to when Leon and Krauser worked together to make him actually relevant, as opposed to being just some guy that showed up and we were supposed to care about.

There's a LOT they could do to improve 4 and I hope they do so.

Would rather see Code Veronica remade, but I'm still up for 4, providing they don't cut as much out as they did with 3's remake.

Oh no, that would be disappointing. While I enjoy 4, this is where the series really started to go down for me. I was hoping for a remake of 1 in the Re engine so we could have the whole Raccoon city trilogy in the same style. Or Code Veronica that was never a great game to start with but that could definately be improved on.
But money wise, I can see why they'd skip both (one having already been remade and remastered even more recently and Code veronica not being a numbered entry). Four will make money. But with 7 and the recent remakes of 2 and 3, I was in Resident evil heaven. The franchise was finally back to being survival horror and the dark days of 4-6 were finally behind. With a remake of 4, a whole new generation would be introduce to the more action style, with Leon fighting giant Trolls from Lord of the rings. God I hope not.

Honestly hope it’s closer to this:

Resident Evil 3.5 - Biohazard 3.5 Trailer 1 - YouTube

Resident Evil 3.5 Trailer / Gameplay (Best Quality) - YouTube

Instead of a straight remake of the RE4 we already have. Even though I love it & it’s my second favorite in the series I’d like to see something new.

It's funny because i've said for a while now that Capcom is only ever able to make two good Resident evil in a row before disappointing. Res 1 and 2 on the ps1. Remake and 4 on the Gamecube. 7 and 2 remake more recently. Hopefully they break the curses!

[voltz]

They can take the cancelled RE4 and make a third Revelations title.

If any one of them needs a remake now more then anything, it's Code Veronica. Full stop on everything else until this gets done!

[ResidentEvil7200]

I wouldn't mind these latest Resident Evil remakes and 7 if it was more like from the olden days when gameplay was less complicating.

If they do remake Resident Evil 4, then I hope they bring up the fog and Hook Man and mansion from the canceled 3.5. I was excited for Resident Evil 4 back in the day when I saw the 3.5 trailers.

[LegacyCosts]

The original part 4 is a 15-20 hour game..its lengthy. Capcom has a big job ahead of them as they wont be able to drop a 3-4 hour campaign like they've been doing. code veronica would have been so much more exciting. I revisited re4 about 2 years ago on pc and it still holds up really while cv is nearly unplayable.

RE fans are getting their fourth remake, and I'm still waiting on a remake of Tomb Raider II...

RE3 on PS1 wasn’t a disappointment IMO. It’s every bit as good as 1 & 2. Code Veronica & the RE3 remake are also very good so not disappointed in those either.

I like RE3 now but back in the day, it was a huge downgrade from RE2. 2 had two different playthrough with 2 characters, it was also such a big improvement over 1. It also had the incredible mr. X in the B run. Then 3 came out and it was half the game 2 was, reused a lot of the same locations, wasn't a sequel but rather took place before, during and after. It felt to me like a dlc rather than the true sequel R2 deserved. Also, while a lot of people were freaking out about Nemesis, for me (and many others who had played R2), it was just a repeat of Mr. X.
I played it once (rented it) and never went back.
Now, 20 years later, i'm super excited to play the remake and I see it very differently. Sure, as a sequel it was hugely disappointing but it"s a nice aftermath to the whole Raccoon city incident and wraps things up beautifully. It makes for a great trilogy.
But let's face it, back then, it never felt like a true sequel. Code Veronica was closer to that (and was supposed to be the real third game) but imo was worse than 3.
Remake and 4 were both a huge upgrade, even if i've never been a fan of the direction 4 brought the series.

Looking back, it"s really the first two games and both their remakes that I love (and now 7 that was such a revelation for me!).

At this rate we'll be lucky to even get a fourth "survivor" based Tomb raider. Squenix is chasing that Marvel money supposedly.

[NARMAK]

I'm kinda happy they want to give these titles ab update for modern times and maybe introduce them in a whole new way to people but there's just an absurd amount of unoriginal releases nowadays from studios that are capable of more if they would maybe concentrate on new IPs too.

[Joeker]

I’ll take a remake of all them, and another RE7 but 3rd person

[gundamcero]

Maybe this way they can improve the story and horror survival aspect on games 4 through 6. Would be nice cause the story definitely sucks as the series goes on.
