Though Resident Evil 4 has become a classic of the series, it doesn't stand the test of time and therefore deserves its own remake. is often considered one of the best games ever made. Simultaneously reinventing the Resident Evil series while ushering in the third-person shooter genre for the console generation that would follow, it set a standard for reboots to come. While the Resident Evil series would later fall and rise again, Resident Evil 4 nonetheless remains a classic. However, that isn't to say that it shouldn't get a remake of its own. While Resident Evil 4 does stand as a classic with memorable sequences and satisfying gameplay, it does tend to show its age. With gunplay mechanics that require the player, as Leon S. Kennedy, to stand still while shooting infected enemies with incredible precision, Resident Evil 4 doesn't stand the test of time as the pinnacle of third-person shooters. Rather, it served as a gateway for what would come and deserves to be reincarnated in some way. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Capcom has been keen on giving Resident Evil installments the remake treatment as of late. Although the company skipped the first Resident Evil, Capcom remade Resident Evil 2 to a stellar outcome in 2019 and is currently in the process of remaking Resident Evil 3 in the style of the previous remake. That is to say that the game will be updated with modern graphics and third-person shooting mechanics allowing for freedom of movement while firing. Via Polygon Resident Evil 4 deserves the same treatment. Frankly speaking, it's not that drastic a treatment. Resident Evil 4 is a third-person shooter as it is, so it would retain its mechanics during the transition. The primary change in gameplay would be that the remake allows for freedom of movement while aiming. Otherwise, the largest change would involve a graphics update. Resident Evil 2 stunned fans with its updated graphics, realistic character models, immersive environments, and terrifying zombie animations. With the same engine applied to Resident Evil 4, the game's Spanish countryside, castle, and more would theoretically look far more engaging and gritty than in the 2005 game. The Resident Evil franchise is adored by fans everywhere, and Resident Evil 4 is consistently considered a highlight of the franchise. Hopefully, like RE2 and RE3 before it, it gets a solid remake treatment. However, in the meantime, it is available in remaster form on plenty of other platforms.
