Even so, it doesn’t take away from the immersion, and that’s 100% a good thing.īut again, I feel like I can’t overstate how absolutely gorgeous everything looks. Just a note here though, as there are some reused assets from the previously mentioned Resident Evil Village. The guns are all well-crafted and the locales look amazing. RE4 looks now how I imagined it to look back when I was younger, and playing it on the PlayStation 2. The game looks so good and the characters all look so life-like, that it almost feels like this is a new engine. Ashley and Leon hiding in the Village Church And Resident Evil 4 looks as great, if not better than, its predecessors. Through gaming use of that, the next-generation Resident Evil games all had one thing in common: they all looked great even on the dated hardware of the eighth-generation consoles. It was a revolutionary game engine that rendered 3D scanned materials (and people) with an incredible mount of detail, while using as few resources as possible. Resident Evil 7 initially blew people’s collective minds with the full might of the RE Engine. But that said, the remake annihilated all my pre-conceived notions in a very big way. I personally could not think of any way for Capcom to improve on the original, aside from updating its graphics and removing some of the dated mechanics such as the QTEs. Many people considered RE4 to be a perfect game, in that it didn’t need a remake. It was a measure that was probably alluring as well as daunting to the developers of Division 1 – the standard bearer for everything Devil May Cry and Resident Evil. But after that last new title, Capcom finally decided to pull out all the stops, and start working on a full remake for Resident Evil 4. Those have been almost year after year, with the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, as well as completely new sequels in Resident Evil 7 and Village. Speaking of, after a few hiccups, Capcom has been on a roll with a slew of successes. RE4 set the standards on many of the mechanics and elements that subsequent releases would make use of. At the time of its original release, it was a genre-defining video game. Resident Evil 4 has been the definitive best game in the entire franchise for over 16 years now (maybe a lil opinion there -ed). The ancient injunction “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” does not apply to the 2023 remake of Resident Evil 4.
