However, during Tokyo Game Show 2022Capcom revealed that the ‘remake’ of RE4 will also be available on Playstation 4. Unfortunately, Capcom has not made an official statement regarding the release of a version of resident evil 4 (RE4) ‘remake’ on Xbox One.
What is the story of resident evil 4?
The same as the original version, the story of resident evil 4 ‘remake’ will put us in the role of Leon S. Kennedy —survivor of the Raccoon City incident in RE2— who has traveled to a rural area of USA to rescue Ashley Graham, the daughter of the president of the United States. Leon, who after six years is an agent of the United States secret service, will find in the rescue mission he will meet the inhabitants of the area. These have been infected with a new virus known as Las Plagas.
At the moment it is unknown what new elements Capcom will add to the ‘remake’ of resident evil 4. However, they recently confirmed that the island area will be included in the reimagining of RE4 which will arrive on March 24.
‘Trailers’ of RE4 ‘remake’
The first trailer of the ‘remake’ of resident evil 4 was revealed in the State of Play on June 2, 2022. Then, in the resident Evil Showcase of October 2022, Capcom shared the second trailer of RE4 ‘remake’ in which you could see a little more of the gameplay and history of the game.
What changes will the gameplay of the ‘remake’ of resident evil 4 compared to the original?
Although, apparently in the ‘trailer’, we can say that the ‘remake’ of resident evil 4 is very similar to the original game, it does not mean that Capcom will not implement changes in the 2023 version. Some of these differences will affect other aspects of the game. So, for the moment, the battle against the Giant we will have to face without any help. Perhaps the most noticeable change, which could be appreciated with the small playable section that Capcom shared, is the opening sequence. In it, Leon S. Kennedy investigates a cabin before reaching the town. Now, in the ‘remake’ of resident evil 4 this first playable area is a longer and gloomier stage, which serves to set the tone for the entire title.
Regarding the gameplay, in resident evil 4 ‘remake’ Leon S. Kennedy will be able to duck and seek refuge. This element of stealth will help players get through Gon infested areas with the help of different strategies to pick and choose their encounters. This means that it is possible that the ammunition in the ‘remake’ of RE4 be scarce.
