Today we're taking a peek at the Steam Top Release list for April 2020, released here on the 22nd of May, 2020. This list includes a very strange assortment of games, some for kids, some for adults... and there's a golf game too. As it was with all previous releases, the Top Steam Releases list for April 2020 was compiled by measured revenue generated during the first two weeks after launch.
Remakes, it seems, are big business at the moment. Not only are a lot of people currently playing through Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Remake, but just a couple of weeks ago, Capcom also released a remake of Resident Evil 3. Resident Evil 3 followed a very successful and very warmly-received remake of Resident Evil 2, so it should come as little surprise to hear that Capcom has now greenlit a Resident Evil 4 remake.
It's been a good few years for the Resident Evil series. After Resident Evil 6 represented something of a stumble for the mainline franchise, Resident Evil 7 launched to very warm reception. That was followed by the acclaimed remake of Resident Evil 2, and just last week, Capcom kept the remake train rolling by launching Resident Evil 3. What's next for the storied franchise? According to a new rumor, it's Resident Evil 8.
Last year's Resident Evil 2 remake was a very pleasant surprise for fans of the series, so it's little wonder that Capcom is following up this year with a remake of Resident Evil 3. The remake was announced in December, and with the game launching in April, we don't have much longer to wait before it's here. Capcom has announced that prospective buyers won't even need to wait until April to check out the game, as the company is launching a demo for the remake later this week.
Last month, Sony announced that Resident Evil 3 would be remade for the PlayStation 4, though Capcom confirmed that the updated version will also be released for the Xbox One and PC. Ahead of the remake's expected April 2020 release date, Sony has revealed more details about the updated version of the game, including which original elements will be removed.
Earlier today, Sony held the final PlayStation State of Play for 2019. Headlining that show was a pretty big announcement, as Capcom officially confirmed that it's remaking Resident Evil 3. Of course, a lot of us expected this announcement given the success of Resident Evil 2's remake earlier this year.
It seems the success of Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake has prompted the company to begin working on a remake of Resident Evil 3. New reports claim that such a remake is currently in development over at Capcom, with the company planning to release it at some point next year.
Monster Hunter World has already had a number of crossover events, but soon we'll be seeing what is unquestionably the most zany one yet. Capcom revealed today that Leon and Claire from the Resident Evil franchise are coming to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, and while that's strange enough on its own, their appearance doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how just how crazy this crossover is.
Since it launched somewhat late in the console cycle, it isn't really surprising that the Switch has become an attractive platform for ports of existing games. As of today, we can count Capcom among the many developers who have decided to bring their older games over to the Switch. The company revealed that it will bringing not one, but three Resident Evil games to the Nintendo Switch next year.
We're living in an age over-the-top collector's editions of video games are a common thing. It's no surprise to see versions of games costing a couple hundred dollars or more and including anything from mini statues to movie DVDs to a bunch of useless crap. Still, the Premium Edition of the upcoming Resident Evil 2 Remake for Japan is beyond ridiculous. It includes a Bluetooth keyboard and is priced at a jaw-dropping $900.
During its event earlier this week, Sony revealed that Capcom is launching a totally remade version of its hit classic game Resident Evil 2. A trailer for the updated title was showcased during the PlayStation event, but now videos of actual gameplay have made their way to the Internet. Ready to see how stunning the "Remake" looks?
Capcom has just announced the upcoming launch of Resident Evil 2 Remake, the iconic game overhauled for modern consoles. The company showcased footage from the game during Sony's E3 2018 event, as well as details on when you can pre-order the game and when it will be available to play. The preview was, to put it mildly, stunning.
