Resident Evil 1 Remake The return of the first part of the horror game using the UE5 engine


In recent years, Capcomm has returned to the famous classic horror game Resident Evil series again, by reformulating and completely developing it in the form of Remake, where we saw a very successful remake of the second part, as well as the third and fourth part, Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Capcom did not return from the first part, so some amateur developers decided to redesign and develop Resident Evil 1 Remake using the Unreal Engine 5 engine, simulating the same events and characters of the original title that was released in 1996.


About Resident Evil 1:


Resident Evil 1, the game that pioneered the survival horror genre, introduced players to the ominous Spencer Mansion and the horrors within. This article delves into the events of Resident Evil 1 and offers insights into how to effectively play with its iconic characters.


The Haunting Setting:

Set in the eerie Spencer Mansion, Resident Evil 1 thrusts players into a nightmare filled with undead creatures, puzzles, and a sinister conspiracy. As either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, members of the elite S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) team, players unravel the mysteries surrounding the mansion and its ghastly inhabitants.


Chris Redfield - The Veteran:

Playstyle: Chris is the seasoned S.T.A.R.S. member with enhanced combat skills. However, his inventory space is limited, requiring strategic item management. Players controlling Chris should prioritize combat efficiency and conserve ammunition.


Strengths:

  • Higher health and combat resilience.
  • Can take more damage before succumbing.
  • Access to exclusive weapons.


Challenges:

  • Limited inventory space.
  • Faces tougher enemies.


Jill Valentine - The Resourceful:

Playstyle: Jill is resourceful and excels in finding items. She possesses a lock-picking kit, allowing her to access areas Chris cannot. Players controlling Jill should focus on exploration and item collection.


Strengths:

  • More inventory space.
  • Access to the lock-picking kit.
  • Quick reloading of weapons.


Challenges:

  • Slightly weaker combat stats.
  • Faces unique challenges.

The famous YouTube channel “RE Biohazard” recently published a new unofficial teaser video, a remake of Resident Evil 1, created by its team, which was developed using the Unreal Engine 5.


The teaser video presents the actual gameplay, and shows the extent of the ingenuity of the design and familiarity with the details that bring us back to beautiful memories of this game, supported by powerful and stunning new visuals, the most important of which is the atmosphere of the terrifying palace, the zombies and the mutant monsters that you will encounter in it, not to mention the combat and control mechanisms that work extremely well in a way that has never been possible. We see it in any other remake games made by amateurs.


What makes the matter even more exciting is enabling the choice between the first-person camera or the third-person perspective, and this is what the official versions of Capcom itself should have done, so the aforementioned remake is considered a dream that has come true for all fans of the Resident Evil horror and survival series.


But unfortunately, there is still no release date for the game or even a date for the beta version of it, as the development team stated that the announcement of the release date will not be anytime soon, unfortunately, as the game still needs a lot of work and development.



Survival Horror Mechanics:


- Limited Resources: Ammo and healing items are scarce, emphasizing the survival aspect.

- Puzzles: The mansion is filled with intricate puzzles that players must solve to progress.

- Inventory Management: Players must carefully manage limited inventory space to carry essential items.


Tips for Effective Gameplay:


1. Conserve Ammunition: Aim for headshots to conserve precious ammo.

2. Explore Thoroughly: Search every room for items, clues, and hidden secrets.

3. Prioritize Healing: Health management is crucial. Use herbs and first aid sprays wisely.

4. Solve Puzzles Strategically: Take your time to solve puzzles, and don't hesitate to consult in-game documents for clues.

5. Utilize Character Abilities: Leverage unique abilities; Jill's lock-picking or Chris's combat prowess.


Resident Evil 1 set the stage for a franchise that would define survival horror in gaming. Navigating the events of the mansion with Chris or Jill offers distinct challenges and experiences. By understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each character, players can fully immerse themselves in the horror and triumphs of Resident Evil's inaugural chapter.
