In a clip from the highly anticipated Resident Evil 4 remake, the game's impressive updated AI is showcased, and it promises some great challenges for players. Many excited gamers have questions about the Resident Evil 4 remake, and this clip provides some answers on what the survival horror's gameplay will be like.
The Resident Evil games are some of the greatest horror games to ever exist, and Resident Evil 4 remains one of the franchise's most standout installments. The fourth title in the horror series is hailed by many as one of the best chapters in the franchise thanks to the action-packed story that puts players in Leon S. Kennedy's shoes in order to save the President's daughter against the backdrop of a mysterious and sinister Spanish village. Since the announcement of a remake for the beloved title, many fans have been curious about how the game will be improved. Thanks to a short clip, there is a small hint as to what it to be expected when the game releases this Friday on March 24.
A clip posted to Reddit by user CrossingEden shows a brief interaction with Leon and an enemy character. In the short exchange featured in the video, the enemy NPC appears to fake out the player, causing them to move Leon right in front of the NPC's axe throw. This fake out tricks Resident Evil's protagonist Leon into walking right into some serious damage despite concentrated efforts to avoid the NPC's strikes.
Subtle updates like these that are seen in CrossingEden's clip will really add something extra to the already challenging gameplay of Resident Evil 4. Although the footage is just a short sneak peek, it gives eager players a good idea of how Resident Evil 4 has been reworked to be even better in this new generation of gaming. For those who have played the original version of Resident Evil 4, this will help make the game a new challenge despite playing an already familiar story.
Even though there are still a few days left until the game is released, the Resident Evil 4 remake is off to a great start with its overwhelmingly positive reviews and high anticipation. Set to be one of the biggest horror releases of the year, this remake of one of Resident Evil's most beloved installments will be great to return to after the many years since its initial release. If this clip is any indication, fans of the original game are in for a fun trip back to the iconic story.
Resident Evil 4 launches on March 24 for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
