Capcom Producer Suggests That If There’s Enough Fan Demand, ‘Resident Evil 3’ Remake is Possible
We may not even be into February yet but I feel pretty confident in saying that Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil 2 will be remembered as one of the top 5 best horror things of 2019. The ’90s game was completely remade from the ground up, retaining that classic feel while delivering a fresh new experience entirely. In a single word, it’s absolutely TERRIFYING.
So then, does Capcom have any plans on giving the same treatment to 1999’s Resident Evil 3: Nemesis? Well, if there’s enough fan demand, it’s certainly always a possibility.
In a chat with Game Watch, Resident Evil 2 producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi noted that the reason RE 2 got a remake was because fans were so hungry for it, and he suggests that that’s the key to its sequel following suit. It’s a rough translation, but Hirabayashi told the outlet, “The reason why [Resident Evil 2] became a remake was because the fans continued to send a love call saying ‘I want you to make a remake’ for 21 year. If I hear that [there’s as much demand for Resident Evil 3], I think that will be the starting point for us.”
So if you want it, beg for it. And you just might eventually get it. In the meantime, turn your volume up, your lights off, and let Resident Evil 2‘s remake scare the shit out of you.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
