A new documentary has shed more light on Resident Evil 4 Remake’s development, and shows its director concerned the game would not be ready for its release date.
A recent episode of 100 Cameras – a Japanese documentary series which puts 100 cameras in situ to capture the goings on in any given place – focused on Capcom. Along with a look behind the scenes of Street Fighter 6, the episode also showed a slice of Resident Evil 4 Remake’s development (thanks, GamesRadar).
At the time of recording, there was only one month left before Resident Evil 4 Remake was set to release, but the game was reportedly riddled with a “storm” of issues. These included game freezes, visual glitches such as characters’ hands not connecting when they are meant to be holding on to each other, and Leon getting sent to “another dimension” as he falls through the floor. One tester said they had found “around 70” new bugs in one day. Things were once so bad, Resident Evil 4 Remake director Yasuhiro Anpo admitted: “At this rate, we won’t make the release”.
