It’s a priority for us to answer that call.” I immediately followed that up with asking him what Resident Evil game would be his ideal remaster project, to which he replied, “ Outbreak, definitely.” Good man.Īs a fan of Wesker I definitely wanted to ask for more information on the upcoming Wesker Mode in Zero, and Takenaka had a few things to say on that front - “yes, Wesker Mode is going to be the toy you play with after you’re done with the game.
We really want to respond to fan feedback, and those fans asked for more remasters. Takenaka noted that “overall yes it’s been a positive move. I went on to ask about Capcom’s strategy to focus more on remasters and remakes, and how that was going for them. It’s unfortunately one of the less played games in the series, but I think it’s really important and essential to the overall big picture.” So with Zero, you’re really getting that whole backstory on the first game, such as Wesker’s motivations, the story of the mansion, and more. When asked if he considered Resident Evil Zero an essential title in the series, he responded, “of course! The thing about Resident Evil is the more you play, the more you get out of it. Like the last remaster there’s still the same “door opening” sequences (originally built for tension, but are now admittedly a tad dated), there’s still cheesy cutscenes done in the style of the original game (in other words, they aren’t upgraded in any way), and although the controls have been given a makeover, it’s still very much an old school Resident Evil game.Īccording to Tsukasa Takenaka that’s completely ok. Some people probably aren’t going to take to a lot of the legacy features though. As a whole it looked even more detailed than Resident Evil HD (the fur on spiders was particularly impressive, as were the flame and steam effects), and the action was incredibly smooth, especially when coupled with the updated control scheme. You’re still going to brave the unknown with Rebecca and Billy, and in addition to a quick switching mechanic, you can also control the non-playable character with the right analog stick - so, just like the original, there’s no dumb, meandering AI that sits there while an enemy gets carte blanche to lay into them. For the most part, I agree with him.Īs for my hands-on session with the game, I ended up coming away satisfied.
That’s fair.īut to Resident Evil Zero HD producer Tsukasa Takenaka, these remakes are a great way to unite fans both old and new. Some folks are anxious to see what Capcom can do to iterate on this 20 year old series (cue those lame “do you feel old?” posts), and don’t like the idea of rehashes. Finally, Capcom stopped fumbling around with the franchise (I liked some parts of 6 well enough, but could have done without it), and went back to its roots. Resident Evil HD was pretty freaking great.
