Resident Evil 4 Remake Has Reportedly Been In Development Since 2018

Gamingbolt: “ According to Dusk Golem, M-Two were originally set up specifically for the purpose of Resident Evil 4’s development, and their work on RE3 – on which, according to him, they assisted lead developers Red Works – was to be a practice run of sorts, a stepping stone to their next project. Work on RE4 supposedly began all the way back in 2018, and M-Two have been listening to and taking feedback for the recently released Resident Evil 3 into account. Additionally, Capcom Division 1 – specifically, the teams that worked on Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5 – are also assisting with development.”

It's going to look amazing on the PS5 and XSX, the remakes already look so good

Sigh why not code veronica? If they do this don't screw up this already perfect game.

hanko142224d ago

i guess you didnt see an update about 4 remake. its on a fail scale already unfortunately.

but i agree with you with that. dont touch 4 and do code veronica

2224d ago
jeromeface2223d ago

There's plenty of older RE fans that felt 4 was trash and want them to instead do code veronica.

1nsomniac2224d ago (Edited 2224d ago )

Why was it a perfect game? I’m genuinely interested in finding out why people think this. I played it when it arrived on PC and it was a really crap game, like really dull and clunky.

Never understood the hype behind it at all. I think @Shaggy2303 is into something. I think the only reason it gained its hype was because it was kinda the first to do it on the Wii with motion controls. A system that was pretty starved of decent mature games. and it’s all a bit rose tinted glasses.

SoulWarrior2224d ago

What? RE4 was already hugely popular long before the Wii port lol

CorndogBurglar2223d ago (Edited 2223d ago )

RE4 originally released on GameCube in 2005. It released on PC in 2014.

So you played a 9 year old game and seemingly expected 2014 levels of game play? No wonder you were disappointed.

It gained its hype because it was one of the first games to do the over the shoulder perspective. It took the RE franchise in a new direction that wasn't nearly as divisive back then as people seem to think it was when they look back at it now. RE7 was divisive. RE4 was not. At least not back then.

Also, people now tend to blame RE4 for what RE5 and 6 became. But RE4 had a nice balance of more action while keeping the creepy atmosphere and puzzles. 5 and 6 just went full action, added a dodge/roll mechanic, gave you massive amounts of ammo. They stopped being Survival Horror. RE4 was still very much a Survival Horror game.

Imalwaysright2223d ago

The game was originally released in 2005 and for the time it didn't have "clunky controls". Not only that but it is one of the most influential games of all time. It basically kickstarted the over the shoulder view and the aiming system that would influence games like Gears of War, Mass Effect, Dead Space and Uncharted (just to name a few) and don't get me started on how good the game is. You have an extremely influential game and one of the best games ever made in the same package. That's how the game gained it's more than well deserved popularity.

RosweeSon2223d ago (Edited 2223d ago )

It gained hype from its GameCube exclusive launch (at the time) the game was that good they ported it to every system since. It’s a great game sure not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s a brilliant game no disputes
Soul warrior: agreed it just shows they don’t really know what they talking about 😑🥴😂✌&# 127995;

carcarias2223d ago (Edited 2223d ago )

It's just one of those things.

You had to play it back in 2005, on Gamecube, though I played the HD version last year in preparation ffor RE2 and still thought it was great.

It was adored by critics and players alike and highly influential for many franchises that followed. It also remains the highest scoring RE title (96) on metacritic. Mikami is a master, imho.

jeromeface2223d ago

There's a large number of fans that played it when it was released and still felt it was bad. I'll never understand how everyone can praise it now, yet still get excited when mechanics RE4 killed come back into the series. You can't have it both ways.

VileAndVicious2223d ago

Unpopular opinion but I've always disliked RE4. Not because it was a bad game per se but I've just always felt like it seemed out of place in the grand scheme of the series. For me RE4 was the beginning of decline of the series, gone was survival horror and tension left in its place action and an over-the-top (sometimes edgy) story that only got worse as the series progressed.

The lack of zombies, Leon's abrupt personality change and lame villain were huge turn offs for me. There were definitely some cool things done in the game but honestly the game could have been called ANYTHING other than Resident Evil and most people wouldn't have even batted an eye.

the game needs an update. now they can bring the gameplay to next gen, and make quality of life improvements. they can make story improvement by making the escort mission less tedious

it was a perfect game when released not in today's standard that's why a remake would be amazing for this

bangoskank2223d ago

Was just about to post the same question. Great game and was an important storyline in the series. I guess Capcom feels they'll make more $ off an re4 remake.

neutralgamer19922223d ago

I think they may still do code Veronica remake too

Lord_Sloth2223d ago

Just pointing out there are 2 teams doing the REmakes cycling. CV may well be in development by the team that isn't doing RE4.

jeromeface2223d ago

2 team, correct @lord_sloth. One just finished RE3....

Starman692223d ago

Code Veronica was awsome. Probably my favorite.

DafunkyRebel2223d ago

Code Veronica isn’t a seller so why bother. RE4 is a numbered RE game and it is the best in the series so of course they’re gonna make this one first plus if it does well they will explore more remakes and eventually you CV fanboys will get your wish

Nerdmaster2223d ago

I agree. Original RE4 is still very good. They really should've remade Code Veronica (mainly because it isn't easy to find and play - for example, there isn't a PC version...)

Lets see how badly they butcher this game, after what they did to 3.

KyRo2224d ago

They didn't butcher 3 though?

PyroMessiah862224d ago

The hacked off content says differently. It's all graphics and not giving a damn about the source. It's okay overall but could have been so much more. It should have improved on the original in more than just the graphical Dept.

It was already the least fave of many out of the first 3 games. They could have really done something special with it.

Talking up Nemesis also like it was some advanced AI like the Alien in Alien Isolation. 🙄

KyRo2224d ago

Cutting content on a already short game was a bad mistake on Capcoms part but to say it was butchered? Hardly. It's still a great game. Just one hard to justify at full price.

It also showed us that once again that a more action focus isn't the root RE should take and this is why I don't want a RE4 remake. It still hold up well now in comparison to other games from that era but after the amazing RE2 Remake and RE7, I want horror over action from the series.

jaymacx2224d ago

RE 3 was more action even in the original. It had a faster pace. As for the cut content I totally agree. If it was longer and had more puzzles it would of been pretty much perfect. It should of been priced at $40 with what it released as.

RosweeSon2223d ago

Nope they just didn’t double it in size which I think people were expecting however the original was far from a lengthy game so I still can’t understand the shock haha removing mercenaries was a mistake tho even if they did add an online mode. Hopefully they can patch mercenaries in for free.

neutralgamer19922223d ago

KyRo

What do you call taking out full areas of games ? If not improving it the least they could have done was to keep the content from original

Instead of adding they made an already short game shorter

KyRo2223d ago

@Nuetral, I did state that in my reply but again, the game ain't butchered because certain parts are missing... Those parts didn't need cutting and I'm baffled as to why they did. They should have definitely expanded on what was there but the game overall is still a solid game.

RosweeSon2223d ago

That’s how 3 was all them years ago, Bare bones.

DafunkyRebel2223d ago

RE3 was never a good game in the series so the remake being bad can be forgiven. RE4 on the other hand is a great game and a best seller so you know Capcom won’t be ducking around and make a shoddy product, they’ll put been more resources and effort into it than RE2

jBlakeeper2221d ago

The original RE3 was great. Nemmy was scary as hell and the game never let up on the intensity.

Zodiac2224d ago

Without the motion controls, I’m not really interested

jaymacx2224d ago

Maybe it will have a vr mode. They should make a VR RE that has zombies and you are in a mansion like the original.

RosweeSon2223d ago

That’s how it was intended. Without.

Zodiac2223d ago

Sure, it was “intended” without them because motion controls weren’t a thing yet. The Wii version is the superior version. I haven’t had a chance to play the switch version, but I hear the controls aren’t as great

RosweeSon2223d ago (Edited 2223d ago )

Each to their own zodiac but can’t beat the original for me that GameCube pad was what the game was made for as for that chainsaw controller 😅😍🙌 27995;😂

Tross2223d ago (Edited 2223d ago )

I hated motion control, especially at the time. If I had the option I would play versions of a game that didn't have them. So, I for one am glad a RE4 remake won't have them, if this pans out.

PyroMessiah862224d ago

Just like RE3 remake was reportedly worked on at the same time as RE2.....but clearly if so with a lot less effort put in.

News like this doesn't mean anything if the effort isn't there to improve on the original. I'm not just talking graphics. RE3 is such a letdown.

jaymacx2224d ago

It does say though in the article that they are listening to feedback from RE3. I know they have had to see what people are griping about.

borneFROMblood2223d ago

Capcom worked on RE2 but different studio worked on RE3. I bet Capcom are in charge of RE4 since its as important to them (and everyone else) as RE2.

wtf, good thing I already played and finished the game when it came out

walken799d ago

Once again hurting the people who purchase and support the game. Meanwhile pirates get the best version. Pathetic.

PRIMORDUS99d ago

There is already someone or a group called voices38, that has been cracking Denuvo games lately. Not the newest games, but getting there.

PRIMORDUS99d ago

I wonder if the pirated copies run better like this one titled here: "Resident Evil 4: Remake - Gold Edition (No Denuvo) (v1.5.0.0 + All DLCs + Bonus Content + MULTi14) (From 50 GB)"

Furesis99d ago

i don't think so? as far as i know even pirated version have denuvo or whatever runing in the background, they just trick it to say that yes this is a legit copy or just skip that process, but im not 100% sure. regardless this is an endless battle where legit consumer "suffer" sometimes. it's not that big of a deal MOST of the times and i understand publishers not wanting people to get access to their games for FREE so, i cant blame them honestly. i do find it odd that they wouldn't just remove DRM completely considering most people already played it? not like they are getting more sales anymore, just lower the price remove DRM but i guess thats why they still have it because they dont want to lower the price. oh well

1nsomniac98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

A perfectly acceptable excuse to pirate the game.

Why would you accept to pay for the game in order for it to install software you don’t want with the intention to make your playing experience worse. Paying for that would be the very definition of stupid.

I’m not against DRM but if it negatively effects a product you’re paying for. Then it’s on them not you.

You know I would have liked this if it was added on for free. A nice substitute for Assignment Ada.
