Claire's gun is a revolver, and in the Resident Evil universe, revolver = magnum = Fist of God. Claire's campaign is going to be the easy mode version.

Leave me to do my dark bidding on the internet!
That's not always the case - indeed the one example I can think of that explicitly goes against this premise is the Colt SAA in RE2 which inexplicably fires 9mm handgun ammo. Claire with a revolver could throwback to that alternative handgun.

Alternatively it's early promo art with the express purpose of building hype and shouldn't be taken as gospel.

Leon's pistol looks very faithful though. I've seen that headshots are anything but a sure kill, but I wonder will you be able to kill everything now reasonably easy now that you can easily headshot.
Probably about as easy to kill the basic zombies with headshots as it was in RE6, but without any of the ammo-saving John Woo-inspired "jumping roundhouse into triple spin-kick" follow-up melee options. I don't think I'll be wasting my time trying to headshot Lickers as they leap and crawl around on every surface available though, I doubt they'll be as placid/dumb as they were in RE5 and expose their weakpoint every three seconds.

Nope. There's the Colt S.A.A. from the original RE2. Oddly enough, that was also Claire's weapon and not at all some sort of game-winning wunderwaffe. It was actually pretty poo poo for damage and only fired fast/looked cool.

If I remember right those molded die in one or two headshots from a handgun even on madhouse so they're not so bad

I felt kind of silly when I realised because I had been wasting shotgun ammo on them

They were only a pain because the gunplay and moving around while trying to aim often just felt so loving clumsy, at least that's how it felt to me. I mean alright sure, maybe playing RE7 off the back of Doom 2016 didn't help matters at all when it came to shooting things, but god drat Ethan's ineptitude with firearms makes Silent Hill's own firearm chump Harry Mason look like Chris Redfield.

I completely missed they revealed the cover art. Whelp. Yeah that's a 638.

Kind of really weird they have that on there. The belt rig she has on still has the full sized duty holster on it but it looks empty? Story-wise it might make sense, since it could just be her personal concealed carry weapon that she had on her when she rode into town, and maybe she picked up a dead officer's belt rig so she can carry around useful stuff? But it'd be weird to have an empty holster for some of the game until she gets another pistol to actually fill it.

Harry? I'm just picking holes in things really because it's down to nothing more than the different ways RE and SH were designed to deal with combat. In RE you'd generally hit your targets without issue as long as you were pointing the business end of the gun in their direction (wonky hit detection regarding a jumping Hunter aside), whereas in SH it's possible to fluff basic shots through no real fault of your own.

Edit:
There's nothing in RE7 suggesting Ethan's an idiot with firearms either, it's just that he's not Doomguy the game itself isn't really geared towards the usual FPS approach of just blasting everything that moves with pinpoint accuracy while maintaining your own high-speed moves at the same time. Basically you can't just go around circle-strafing Molded because the game isn't designed for that sort of thing :v:

Capcom is saying they are interested in making more remakes after RE2.

Considering their track record in that category so far, this is not a bad thing.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
Remaking Resident Evil 3 wouldn't be too much extra work since they shared a lot of the setting. I can imagine they would want to remake 4 at some point. That's an incredibly popular game and the hype would be absolutely enormous.

RE4 is the kind of game that's just as fun to play today as it was fourteen years ago, and with the various HD rereleases it doesn't even look *that* bad. I just can't see a remake succeeding, considering it's pretty much already perfect.

RE4 absolutely does not need a remake unless they decide to just uprez it with new graphics, but even then I'd say "don't waste your time." It's probably one of the most ported titles ever (13 or 14 different platforms iirc) at this point.

idk if it would be possible or advisable but if RE3make was a thing going forward, I'd suggest using RE2make assets to hasten development since it takes place around the same locales anyway.

That weird beta version of Resident Evil 4 is still floating around where they decided that they'd do ghosts instead of zombies. I think all that came of it in the final version were when knight armors were infected by Las Plagas in the Castle area, and a short subsection of the castle where you played as Ashley trying to avoid them with no way to attack back. It was like half Resident Evil and half Fatal Frame.

Did the Beta idea with the ghosts/hookman eventually get reworked into Evil Within? Or is that just ‘being a Shinji Mikami project’?

Don't know if it was directly, but he had a lot of broad ideas for a lot of different types of games so I can see him reusing early RE4 for The Evil Within. Either way, he still inspired a whole genre on his own and at his peak, he had a lot of really cool ideas for games.

re4 with ghosts wasn't the only tech demo they made,there were 2 or 3 others,from what i can remember one was a trailer where leon gets chased by a hook handed man wearing a gasmask and another was a more traditional fixed camera thing with leon walking around umbrella labs.

I can't find the screenshots but I believe they're referring to the very very early footage where Leon is on an airship attempting to reach the "Paris facility" (the place Claire gets captured in Code Veronica's intro though this is of course after all that happens), but IIRC there's maybe like ten seconds of footage of this and no one posts it anymore because folks just throw up the mansion footage. That mansion and what I'm describing would have been in the same game though.

IIRC there were never supposed to be "real" ghosts though, and that instead Leon was infected with something making him hallucinate stuff. You still see a remnant of how this was shown in those earliest bits in the released RE4 - the brief nightmare he has after beating Del Lago where black goo suddenly starts running through his veins.


EDIT:

Found a thumbnail next to someone's attempt to recreate it in RE4's engine:








I don't know if I'd mind an RE4 remake, but it'd have to be like a Resident Evil 1 to Resident Evil 1 Remake level jump otherwise it will be kind of pointless.

the airship data is on the gamecube demo disc of 4, turns out it was just gonna be a single room, i think it was originally how leon goes from castle to island, or island to castle, originally the island was attacked by H.C.F & Wesker which is how leon gets infected.
