Fanbyte today released a breaking news article about the remake of Resident Evil 4, which mentioned some interesting details, the main points are as follows:
· The remake was originally produced by M-Two Studios, the studio responsible for the Resident Evil 3 remake, but due to mixed reviews from the 3rd generation remake, Capcom handed over the project to the head of the BioShock 2 remake, and M-Two will continue to participate in the development as a support studio, and the previously done content will continue to be used
· The BioShock 4 remake will make some changes compared to the original, for example, in the original, Lyon arrived in a village in Europe during the day, while the remake will adjust the time period in which it occurs, the village scene at the beginning will be changed to be performed at night, and other parts will also be adjusted
· Capcom wanted the overall tone of the remake to be more bizarre, and the developers also took a lot of inspiration from the beta file (Resident Evil 3.5) of the NGC version of Resident Evil: for example, Leon wandering around the castle, being possessed by black smoke, fighting with live puppets, and a series of other supernatural phenomena, some of which were added to the original game in some way, and the developers referred to many designs that were not used in the original game during the process of making the remake
· The development team plans to make some changes to the game's plot, such as the presence of supporting characters and the increase in appearance time. In addition, the official plan also expands the content of the Ada chapter, merging the "Ada Mission" and the "Parting Ways Mode" into one to make a more complete and detailed side chapter. But multiple intelligence sources have not been able to confirm whether this part will be included in the game's body or launched as a DLC, but sources have mentioned that this seems to be a considerable extension of the original
· Capcom hopes to officially release the title in early 2022, though many of the plans are adjusted due to development and marketing issues, so the official announcement may be delayed, and the company has had great success in recent years in shortening the time period for new Resident Evil games from initial release to release
Fanbyte's editor said at the end that many things in game development are not nailed down and may have changed during the development process, so some of the messages may be outdated intelligence. The above-mentioned information has been compiled from multiple sources and verified many times, but the above news needs to be viewed with caution before the game is officially announced.
