Yes, the merchant’s still here
The latestResident EvilShowcase spotlighted what’s to come for the series. And theResident Evil 4remake is looking especially good in the extended gameplay shown off today.
Capcom showed a good chunk of the early portions ofResident Evil 4. It’s moody and dark at times, but still has that bit of action hero charm to it.
We get a look at one of the game’s more memorable early sections: the village, where Leon and the player end up scrambling through houses, fleeing villagers and a chainsaw-wielding foe.
Alongside all the action, there are some familiar faces that pop up too. Ada, Ashley, Luis, and Salazar all look great in their new, remade versions. The Merchant is still around to sell some wares, too.
It’s not all just the classics, though. While the team is trying to maintain the feeling of the original, there are some new updates. The Ganados will have new attacks, and Leon can parry attacks.
Don’t worry about the attache case, though. The classic game of inventory Tetris is still here in theResident Evil 4remake. It’s a lengthy spotlight of gameplay, and you’re able to find all of ithere in the showcase stream.
