Survival horror reimagined for 2023.
Hi PlayStation fans! We are excited to finally be able to talk about Resident Evil 4!
Resident Evil 4 is a remake of the 2005 game Resident Evil 4. When it first came out, Resident Evil 4 revolutionized the Resident Evil franchise with its new game-style that combined action, shooting, and resource management elements, subsequently setting the standard for future Resident Evil titles.
This time, the game is being developed to achieve state-of-the-art quality for a survival horror suitable for 2023, while preserving the essence of the original game. We aim to make the game feel familiar to fans of the series, while also providing a fresh feeling to it. This is being done by reimagining the storyline of the game while keeping the essence of its direction, modernizing the graphics and updating the controls to a modern standard.
The story thus far
Six years have passed since the biological disaster in Racoon City.
Leon S. Kennedy, one of the survivors of the incident, has been recruited as an agent reporting directly to the president.
With the experience of multiple missions on his back, Leon is sent to rescue the kidnapped daughter of the president of the United States.
He tracks her to a secluded European village, where there is something terribly wrong with the villagers.
And the curtain rises on this story of grueling survival horror and rescue.
Resident Evil 4 is the latest survival horror game where life and death intersect with terror and catharsis. Scheduled to release on March 24, 2023.
I wonder if – like the Resident Evil 3 Remake – whether any content was cut for this remake.
That’s what I’m afraid of. I never got to play the original RE3 back for PSX and was disappointed when they didn’t let you explore the building with the clock tower (and some other areas too, I hear). I have mixed feelings about this one now.
Well it seems like there will be content added in terms of psvr 2 which was my big takeaway.
RE8 fully in VR and RE4 VR content. I’ve been talking about this for a long time but I love the fact that Jim Ryan is doubling down on big IP for the second iteration of PlayStation VR. RE7 was the most impactful game on PS VR and we are needs to leverage big IP in order to bring in casual fans. Platform will not survive on enthusiasts alone.
Yet another brilliant decision by Jim Ryan. Everything that’s trending with PS VR2 is positive. People love to hate this guy but you have to acknowledge the good decisions.
REmake 3 was done by a side team. REmake 4 most likely had the same team that made REmake 2.
You can easily see REmake 3 was just a rushed cash grab taking advantage of the REmake 2’s success.
VR gaming is niche for a good reason. That’s all I need to say. Oh and the games are NOT going to look that great in VR graphically. At all.
LOVE IT ❤️ BUT ☝️🏻The most important thing for me is it’s should be a shoulder view
And thanks 😊
RE7 did look pretty bad in VR, but it was still a blast. Gameplay is king!
RE7 visually was obviously unimpressive running on a 1.8 teraflop system with a VR set that had extremely low specs. Yet it’s still galvanized people and was the most impactful VR game to date.
RE8/4 is completely different. 10.28tf of power running on a headset with exponentially more impressive specs and tricks in order to maximize performance. Foviated rendering/eye tracking and so on. Now you throw in a real dual controller setup with finger tracking, haptics, sticks, motion sensor etc and the experience is going to be leaps and bounds above RE7. I truly believe the visuals will be acceptable as the tech is so vastly Superior this time around on every level.
