and blowing corpse’s heads off with shotguns, of course.
In the end, I think ditching the ghostly concept was a good idea – somehow throwing in ghosts or some greater evil would take away from the core of what made (most) Resident Evil games so great – the evil within man…. One prototype, which Capcom actually showed footage of at E3 2003, featured an interesting twist – what appeared to be actual paranormal activity in a Resident Evil game (which despite being filled with the undead and monsters, basically has never had any true “evil force” in it, aside from the terrible voice acting). Resident Evil: Codename MADMAN is one fan’s effort to put together a completely new experience based on early prototype.įor those who don’t know, Resident Evil 4 went through a few different prototypes before they settled on the version featuring plant zombie villagers.
Or at least what Resident Evil 4 could have been before it was Resident Evil 4. In any case, here we are featuring a kind of remake/re-imagining of Resident Evil 4.
And then I take a look and see that it’s pretty dam old as far as the series goes: 12 years(!) What have I done with my life. One day the likes of No Man’s Sky or Resident Evil VII will be called a “quaint retro effort with clunky controls and terrible UI” no doubt.Īnyway, my point is, is Resident Evil 4 retro now ? It still feels relatively nuskool to me: shiny polygons that don’t look like Virtua Lego pieces, faster gameplay, more responsive over-the-shoulder shooting, and a bit lightened up on the ol’ tank controls. You know you’re old when people start referring to those new fangled games what with that extra 3rd dimension that all those scrappy kids are into, like Mario 64, or even Mass Effect, as “retro”.
