Rumour: M-Two Working on Remake of ‘Resident Evil 4’?
By now you’re probably sick of all of these rumours regarding Resident Evil 8 or another remake in the Resident Evil series, right? Well, get ready, as according to Video Games Chronicle, you can add another rumour to the pile in the form of a remake of Resident Evil 4.
A few weeks back, it was reported that Resident Evil 3 remake co-dev M-Two was in the process of working on another remake. Sadly, according to the report by VGC, it’s not Dino Crisis, but 2005’s Resident Evil 4. The apparent remake has been batted around M-Two since 2018, and now has an estimated release window in 2022.
According to the report, it’s also understood that the remake has the blessing of original game director, Shinji Mikami. Mikami declined to head the production, but has been available as a consultant.
RE4 has been ported numerous times since its original Gamecube release, but this is the first time that it’s being completely remake. And while the significance of the game in reinventing the series (for better and for worse) can’t be understated, does it really need to get the remake treatment over, say, Code: Veronica X? That is, if these rumours are to be believed.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
