Resident Evil 4<\/a> has long been rumored to be getting a remake, and the original game\u2019s creator wants to see it improve on his story, which he says he was forced to write in just three weeks..<\/p>\n

During an interview with VG242<\/a>, Shinji Mikami said that \u201cfans will most likely want [a remake], and so that\u2019s a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be great if Capcom could do a great job and make the story better,\u201d he added, \u201cand put out a good product.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mikami \u2013 who created the Resident Evil series, directed and wrote Resident Evil 4<\/a>, and left Capcom in 2007 \u2013 revealed that he wrote the Resident Evil 4 story in just three weeks. According to the former Capcom director, this was out of necessity more than anything. It seems he’s less happy with that narrative than the game itself.<\/p>\n

The Resident Evil 4 remake has been rumored for some time<\/a>, with leaked documents reportedly from Capcom<\/a> suggesting a release date was at one point planned for sometime later this year, in Q4 (October-December).<\/p>\n

Further reports say the remake apparently changed hands<\/a> early last year after development team M-Two wanted to remain \u201ctoo faithful\u201d to the original game. It\u2019s said that Capcom preferred to take inspiration from the original game, much like its remake of Resident Evil 3<\/a>, while introducing new elements and features.<\/p>\n

They even tweaked the story to some degree, with STARS agent Brad dying off-screen, turning into a zombie to then infect Marvin Branagh shortly afterward. They may sound like small tweaks but they can make a big difference to the overall story.<\/p>\n

It sounds as though Mikami wouldn’t mind a similar approach to Resident Evil 4.<\/p>\n
