In truth, Resident Evil 4 isn’t a survival horror at all, but the beginning of the franchise’s journey down a more action-oriented path. The game had a long and troubled development journey helmed by the series’ original creator Shinji Mikami, who sought to throw out the survival horror’s stagnant formula, with one early idea ended up becoming something new altogether: the stylish demon-hunting Devil May Cry. Back in April, VGC reported Capcom is remaking Resident Evil 4, with a release set for 2022.Originally made exclusively for GameCube before being ported to nigh on every platform in existence, nobody should be a stranger to Resident Evil 4. Of course, Capcom's decision to tweak the series lore so Resident Evil 3 remake links to Resident Evil 4 makes perfect sense when you consider the developer is working on a Resident Evil 4 remake. A nobleman called Salazar sealed they Plagas below his castle, but of course they escaped, leading to the events of the seminal GameCube horror adventure.īut now, we're told the Nemesis project was an attempt by Umbrella to artificially create the Plagas parasite, and the Plagas parasite was the original basis for NE-α, which explains why these guys are knocking about the Resident Evil 3 remake: In the original Resident Evil 4, the Plagas are arthropods thought to have existed on Earth for hundreds of years, and were worshipped in isolated parts of their native Spain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
(This is also one of the reasons some feel Resident Evil 4 is the odd one out of the series, story wise.) That's quite the revelation, and certainly amounts to a retcon given in the original Resident Evil 4, the Plagas was completely unrelated to the series and Umbrella was thought to be out of commission. As a result, the project was inevitably put on ice." However, the reality was no host could contain the power of NE-α, nor was there any means of regulating it. The idea was to find an appropriate live host that could contain NE-α, which in turn would physically change and transform its host into a bioweapon.
"The Nemesis project was to artificially create the Plagas parasite (first introduced in Resident Evil 4), thus giving birth to NE-α. The European branch handled project Nemesis, while the American branch handled T-virus research in tandem. Intriguing! So, where does Nemesis now fit into evil corporation Umbrella's overall plans at the time of Resident Evil 3?Īccording to Capcom, Umbrella's bioweapon research was split between Europe and America.
