There is a Divide Among Capcom Fans Over Which Old Game Should Be Remade Next
Fans believe that now that Capcom has finished its remake of the classic Resident Evil 4, it will either move on to Dino Crisis or return to its survival horror franchise by remaking Code: Veronica X. We polled your opinions on what you think Capcom should do next over the weekend via Push Square and got almost 4,000 responses. Dino Crisis (also from the PS1) and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X (also from the PS1) were resounding successes.
The following are the responses to the question, “What Game Should Capcom Remake Next?”
- Dino Crisis — 1,091 votes
- Resident Evil Code: Veronica X — 1,042 votes
- Resident Evil (1996) — 455 votes
- Resident Evil 5 — 420 votes
- Onimusha — 174 votes
- Dead Rising — 128 votes
- Breath of Fire — 114 votes
- Lost Planet — 79 votes
- Resident Evil 0 — 75 votes
Fans have been hoping for a new Dino Crisis game for a while now, and for a brief moment they thought they had gotten their wish when Exoprimal was released. Unfortunately, it hasn’t lived up to expectations of being a thrilling action-adventure experience. However, if Capcom were to remake another game, Dino Crisis or Resident Evil Code: Veronica X would be the most likely candidates. Both games would receive a major overhaul, despite their adherence to the same classic gameplay seen in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3.
It’s possible that Capcom’s upper management will view Resident Evil 5 as a waste of time because of how closely it resembles modern video games. What do you think of the results of our Poll?
New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.
Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.
PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.
Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.
Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.
The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
