One very apparent upgrade in Leon’s arsenal for Resident Evil 4 Remake is that he can finally move and aim at the same time! No longer will Leon need to be rooted in place to defend himself or line up a shot. Capcom does reiterate that they have been completely redesigned “in order to truly bring out the concept of terror of people controlled by madness”. Unfortunately, we have only received glimpses of these terrifying enemies, so fans will need to wait a bit longer to check one out up close. The remake will also have its signature action combat with hordes of ganados. It is nice to see that Capcom is bringing back horror as RE4 was somewhat known to shy away from that and move towards action. This new lighting and sense of isolation caused by the fog are intended to bring a new feeling of fear back into the series.
Leon can no longer see farther than a few feet in front of him. Gone is the older, browner look of the village.
A town where they are attacked and surrounded by these “ganado” enemies. But everyone’s journey would bring them first and foremost to the dilapidated town. Resident Evil 4’s most iconic locations are its small, barren village and its monolithic castle. No man should have to live through the terrors that Leon did.Īnd yet little does he know he’s about to go through something even worse in this small European village in the middle of nowhere. This is a person who has survived a zombie apocalypse and dreams about it constantly.
