However, that particular style has never really been the biggest reason why Resident Evil 4 was as successful and acclaimed as it was. In fact, lots of gamers love those remakes and the latest mainline numbered RE entries for their scares. Mind you, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that approach. The tone is undoubtedly more in line with the recent Resident Evil titles. Kennedy walking around a dilapidated town isn’t mood-lit by a setting sun but rather by thick fog. Unlike the original game, the remake’s opening scene of Leon S. The game will keep the over-the-shoulder perspective of those other remakes (fitting since the original RE4 popularized that perspective) but it will seemingly reinvent large chunks of the original RE4’s atmosphere and visual style. True to the standards set by recent Resident Evil remakes, it was nothing short of visually impressive.
