Resident Evil 4 Remake lets you move and shoot, but remains staunchly authentic

Resident Evil 4 Remake is real, we’ve played it, and it’s looking chainsaw-pumpingly brilliant. Our horror expert Kelsey went to Capcom UK’s offices for a short-but-sweet twenty minute hands on with everyone’s favourite Resi game (even yours, and if you comment saying otherwise I’ll just assume you’re lying) and reported back to the mothership that everything is looking present and correct: the tetris inventory? Check. Typewriters? Check. Overpowering sense of dread? Obvs. Feet planted while aiming? No, but that’s fine, because it’s 2022 and nobody has time for that. We also wonder where the remake series goes from here, with spin-offs Revelations and Code Veronica seeming like juicy candidates for the REmake treatment before Capcom should think about tackling 5 & 6, and as Alex points out, the first game hasn’t yet received such an extensive reimagining as RE2, 3, and now 4 are enjoying: the Gamecube remake retained the original’s fixed camera over 2D
