Resident Evil 4: Remake Development Plan Gets Major Overhaul

Capcom’s long-rumoured remake of Resident Evil 4 has reportedly hit a minor speed bump, owing to some internal disagreements over creative direction. The game will now see a partial developmental reboot, and is slated for a potential 2023 release.

The news comes from a VGC report, which states that Tatsuya Minami's M-Two, the studio previously involved in creating Resident Evil 3 Remake, will no longer be in charge of the following iteration. And will instead be largely taken over by Capcom's Division 1. “New studio M-Two has seen its role significantly reduced on the unannounced project,” it reads “and mainline Resident Evil studio Capcom Division 1 has been brought in to lead a new direction.” This change in leadership stems from an internal dispute where M-Two wanted to remain faithful and create a shot-by-shot recreation of the original Resident Evil 4. Partly fueled by the backlash they received over RE3's remake, which did not include significant portions of the original PlayStation game. Capcom, on the other hand, intends to take a direction that is more or less inspired by the original, but with its own unique take on story elements and features. Similar to Resident Evil 2 remake’s use of the Tyrant T-00 aka Mr X.

Resident Evil 4 is a survival horror, third-person-shooter game published by Capcom, and is the sixth major instalment in the franchise. The game puts you in the shoes of an American Federal Agent - Leon S Kennedy, who is on a mission to rescue the US president’s daughter, from the clutches of a parasite-worshipping sinister cult. Selling a total of 10.4 million copies across several platforms, RE4 is Capcom’s highest-rated game of all-time.

A remake of the same has been in development since 2018 and was originally scheduled for a 2022 release slate. But now that the teams have undergone a huge makeover, the process has been rebooted, thereby delaying the game a year further, to 2023.

A couple of days ago, a Capcom held online event had shown off tons of gameplay for their much-anticipated Resident Evil Village, set to launch on 7 May 2021. You can read more on that here. Towards the end of the event, they also announced “Maiden” - a fully-playable demo for Resident Evil 8, which is now available on the PlayStation 5.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
