Resident Evil is a series that has benefited hugely from remakes over the years. 2002 saw the original Resident Evil (1996) gain a complete graphical overhaul, with gameplay enhancements and a new subplot, while Resident Evil 2 (1998) and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999) were completely reimagined in 2019 and 2020 respectively, making them look and feel like a modern ‘triple A’ horror experience. With a remake of Resident Evil 4 (2005) set to release on the 24th March, series developers Capcom are faced with a new challenge. How do you improve on one of the best loved and critically acclaimed games ever made?
