’s previous remakes, which tackled older games from the primitive days of 3D, expectedly took a less precious approach to overhaulling designs from the source material. But here, the opening section of Resident Evil 4 remake is almost exactly how we remember it in our heads – to the point where we were able to locate hidden items based purely on memory of the original.
Many video game remakes in the past have sacrificed the spirit of their source material in the quest for ultra-realistic visuals, but from the moment Leon comedically dives head-first out of a glass window, it’s clear Resident Evil 4 isn’t likely to make the same mistake. The most significant differences are in the subtle details; you can now move and shoot at the same time, the scenery and enemies are highly destructible, you can take a stealth approach and quietly axe baddies, and there are set-pieces to discover, such as a cow that can be set on fire by shooting a nearby lantern, causing mayhem.
