Resident Evil 4 Remake is now a reality! (ENG/SPA)

Hello gamers, I'M SO HAPPY! Although there were already rumours that this was happening, now Capcom made it public, and we can clearly talk about it for sure, besides, they left us a beautiful Trailer that encapsulates the magic that the game will have. Although as you can see in the cover image, we have a release date, I still don't know what requirements it will have and if my new pc (the one I want to buy) will be able to run it (since it is an extremely new videogame) if my pc runs it I will probably take it to my Youtube channel and bring it also to Hive, if not, I will do live on Twitch reacting to the gameplay of the game from one of my two favourite gamers that I know will release the game exclusively.

¡Hola, gamers! ¡Joder! ¡ESTOY DEMASIADO FELIZ! Si bien ya había rumores de que esto estaba pasando, ya Capcom lo hizo público, y podemos hablar claramente de ello con seguridad, además, nos dejaron un precioso Tráiler que encierra la magia que tendrá el juego. Aunque como ven en la imagen de portada, tenemos una fecha de lanzamiento, aún no sé que requisitos tendrá y si mi nueva pc (la que quiero comprar) podrá correrlo (ya que es un videojuego en extremo nuevo) si mi pc lo corre, probablemente lo lleve al canal de Youtube y lo traiga también a Hive, sino, haré directos en Twitch reaccionando al gameplay del juego de parte de uno de mis dos gamers preferidos que sé que sacarán el juego en exclusiva.

In this post I will talk about the features that I think the game will have. I'm waiting for a mini gameplay sample to come out to observe the mechanics but I don't know if they will do it, taking into account the leaks of information about the game that had come out and now we know they were true. So without further ado, let's get started.

What we can see from the start is that the first change in Ramake is the atmosphere and setting. This is quite important because it seems that, although the scenarios are quite similar, they are improved, that is, it seems that Capcom is betting on doing the same as in the Remake of game 2 (in fact this one is being developed by the same team) keeping the narrative, story, scenarios but all improved. In the original, our arrival to the town was during the day (which was good because it broke with the common horror games, set at night) and still managed to scare us, in this bet, it seems that the game will start at night which although it helps the atmosphere for me is not very credible in terms of history, I'll explain:

Lo que podemos ver de entrada es que el primer cambio del Ramake es la atmósfera y ambientación. Esto es bastante importante ya que vemos que al parecer, si bien los escenarios son bastante parecidos, están mejorados, es decir que parece que Capcom está apostando por hacer lo mismo que en el Remake del juego 2 (de hecho éste lo está desarrollando el mismo equipo) mantener la narrativa, historia, escenarios pero todo mejorado. En el original, nuestro arribo al pueblo se hacía de día (cosa que estuvo bien por que rompía con lo común de los juegos de terror, ambientarlos en la noche) y aún así lograba asustarnos, en esta apuesta, parece que empezará el juego siendo de noche, que aunque ayuda a la ambientación para mí es poco creíble en cuanto a historia, me explicaré:

If we remember, Leon goes to some village in Spain to look for Ashley Graham, the president's daughter who was kidnapped, the logical thing is that for security reasons, he starts his search during the day (if things got complicated and that's why it got dark and he spent the night looking for the girl, that's another thing) but starting a potentially dangerous mission during the night is not the best option, and we could think that it's a great idea to do the mission stealthily (watching the locals without them noticing his presence) but we know that Leon doesn't do that and instead he directly asks the first cattle for Ashley, as if she was his lost little sister and it wasn't a kidnapping, and according to the trailer it seems that he will do the same in the Remake, so I don't see any argumentative sense to the change of schedule. I think I would have put in the story that the trip was during the day, but the car where the Spanish policemen and Leon were going, crashed for some reason, then it was night by the time they fixed the problem and since they were already close, Leon preferred to continue, it would still feel a bit forced but it could work in a video game, although we will have to see how the full version of the game will be.

But leaving aside my demands on the story or the plot as to why the game is set at night, the setting is awesome. As you can see in the image, the darkness plays a part in the terror and also, the forest seems more dense and threatening, less clean, which makes visibility more reduced and we can't see the livestock in the distance, plus in the interior of the hunts we will probably have to use a torch which requires even less light than outside, and predicts many more scares. I sense that although it will most likely keep the action genre, the setting will also incline it even more towards Survival Horror than before.

I stop here to say... I love the new design of the livestock! They look more menacing and this one in particular looks pretty sloppy and those eyes... I'm dying to play this game haha.

On the other hand we have this daytime image of the village square, and it's just like in Village, although it's daytime, the feeling of oppression is still there. We can also see the destroyed bell tower at the top, which I don't think will allow us to go up there (not that it's relevant but I thought it was curious to comment on it) although during the siege in the village it's a lousy idea to go up there, however there are some precious shotgun shells there so I don't know, I just wanted to mention it. I don't know if this daytime shot means that Leon travelled during the early hours of the morning and arrives at the hut of the first infected during these hours and when he arrived here it was dawn, if so it would be much more believable and cooler.

If this is how I imagine it to be (I will explain to next) I have to stand up and applaud Capcom as I think it's clear from this picture that Ashley will be a tougher girl and won't make it so easy for her kidnappers which is AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE GIRL'S ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. God heard our prayers! The original game's IA for this little girl is horrendous which makes many of us loathe the parts of the game where we're with her and almost appreciate all the times she gets kidnapped once we've taken her out of her cloister.

It also looks like the character development will be better (much appreciated) because in the original game Ashley is flat and stubbor,n and Luis had a lot more to give before he died, Salazar is laughable and The Executioner without saying a word is a better villain. So I'm hoping for more dialogue to help develop these people. With the last scene in the trailer when Leon makes reference to the horrors of Raccon City, you can feel a lot more of his humanity and how he feels about it, in those few lines you can already see depth in the character so I have high expectations in this aspect as well.

Parece también que el desarrollo de personajes será mucho más trabajado (se agradece bastante) porque en el juego original Ashley es plana y obstinante, y Luis tenía mucho más para dar antes de morir, Salazar da risa y El verdugo sin decir una palabra es mejor villano. Así que espero más diálogos que ayuden a desarrollar a esta gente. Con la última escena del tráiler, cuando Leon hace referencia a los horrores de Raccon City, se siente muchísimo más su humanidad y como se siente al respecto, en esas pocas líneas ya se ve profundidad en el personaje, así que tengo altas expectativas también en este aspecto.

With this I have an ambiguous opinion. If this is Salazar's castle and he lives there, why would he have his castle in the dark looking to break his forehead on a flight of stairs by falling down because of the low light? It doesn't make sense to have your house in the dark. That aside, it looks amazingly creepy, and that's great in a horror game, I know I shouldn't be looking for too much sense in a video game but I can't help but be picky, let alone with what I love.

A quick look at Saddler, at first glance he doesn't seem to have had much change, although I think his dubbing is more in line, as is Luis Sera's. It's hard to say for sure with so little dialogue from both of them, and not being Spanish, but I did notice how horrible the previous dub was, so I thought the accent is fine this time (Spaniards, save me from doubt).

I loved Ada's new design, I think it's more in keeping with the mission she was supposed to do there and according to me she's in the castle because of the kind of windows in the background, although some say it could be Bitores Mendez's house but I still think the former. And speaking of Bitores Méndez...

I love the setting of the house and I think Bitores has some kind of hat or hood. He looks quite menacing, some people say he will be like a Nemesis or Mister X but I don't think so, it would be abusing that resource and it would also take away the argumentative part that he lets Leon go because he knows he is infected, if Leon is infected and according to them it will be a matter of time before he becomes one of them, why would he bother to hunt him down?

This scene gives me reason to believe that this game will have more context and depth to the story as well as character development. Clearly Leon looks sad (probably because he doesn't want to be working for the government or because of the trauma he's carrying from the events of Raccon, which we know he was in a depression because of what they say at the end of the trailer). Another important thing is that Leon is so handsome, ok I'm getting serious, his design is great, he still looks young (because he is) but older than in the Remake of 2 (for other reasons) and his expression shows that he is no longer the newbie boy from Raccon City.

We still don't know what will be the design of the start menu, if it will keep Ada's separate campaigns, if they will be included in the main story, neither for sure the mechanics or any of those aspects, however we can guess or speculate about them. I think that as shown in the trailer the camera will be in third person and probably on the shoulder (and sure we can choose on which shoulder will go the camera view) most likely will have the same mechanics of the remake of 2 or three that has more action and dodge and block actions are better worked or directly implement the mechanics of Resident Evil Village that we know that had so many references to this game to see the response of the fans. Also the inventory design will probably be the same as in Village or very similar. What I don't know about Ada's campaigns, some people say they will make her a playable character in the main campaign but I don't know what to say about that.

The truth is I have no idea how I'm going to manage to get the game because besides the pc, these games are usually expensive but I'll try to buy it since it's my favourite number of the saga (most of you already know it) and it's the remake. Without a doubt, as a lover of the saga and Survival Horror I can't wait to try it or at least have a look at it. With this trailer my expectations went through the roof and I hope with all my heart that what was shown in the trailer will be even better in the final version. And you gamers, how did the news grab you? Let me know in the comments. Well that's it for today's post, I hope you liked it. Thank you very much as always for supporting my work, I welcome new readers, I love you all very much, I send you a hug and we'll meet again in another post.
