Capcom Was Worried About Resident Evil 4 Remake
Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 Remake, which has been a huge success in recent years, has received critical acclaim and sold millions of copies, but this success was not guaranteed. The company’s director, Yasuhiro Ampo, explained in an interview that they were concerned because the original game was a very popular production. Capcom approached the project cautiously, thinking that any mistakes in the remake could cause a huge backlash from fans.
Resident Evil 4 Remake Could Overshadow the Original
When Resident Evil 4 was released for the GameCube platform in 2005, it radically changed the series’ formula and received great acclaim. Ampo said, “Resident Evil 4 was still a popular game. So we debated a lot about, ‘Is this a good idea?’ Because fans of the original game could be bothered by the changes that were made.”
Capcom’s previous remakes, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, featured elements that were outdated, such as fixed camera angles and old control mechanics. However, Resident Evil 4 was a game that largely fixed these issues, so remaking it was a riskier project. This made Capcom’s decision to remake the game even more difficult.
Despite all these concerns, Resident Evil 4 Remake was a huge success. The game received praise from both old fans and new players for its modern graphics, updated mechanics, and storyline. Now, all eyes are on Capcom’s future plans. Fans are divided on which game will be next. While some are looking for a remake of Resident Evil 5, others are calling for a remake of an older game like Resident Evil – Code: Veronica.
Capcom has stated that it is aware of fans’ expectations and is considering these demands. The quality and care the company has put into its remakes promises great hope for the future of the series. However, Capcom’s next move is eagerly awaited.
The huge success of Resident Evil 4 Remake has once again shown how risky decisions can be when implemented correctly. Capcom is preparing to take the series even further with the lessons learned in the process.
