Capcom drops new Resident Evil 4 remake trailer in showcase

Capcom held a showcase today that gave more information about the upcoming Resident Evil series. The biggest part of the show was the new trailer and gameplay footage for the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake. It gave us a glimpse of the updated village gameplay, as well as new areas hero Leon will have to traverse.

The gameplay footage showed the starter home, where Leon encounters his first Ganado, is much larger, and Leon plays cat-and-mouse with the starting enemies in a way more reminiscent of Village than the original 4. The village encounter looks very similar to the original fight, with the return of Dr. Salvador and his chainsaw — which he actually uses to break down the door in addition to dicing up Leon.
