Original resident Evil 4 was somewhat of a turning point for the series, effectively straddling the line between action and horror. remake will undoubtedly follow suit, but it will feel like resident evil 2 (2019) and resident evil 3 (2020) from a mechanistic and control perspective.

It’s likely that the “tank controls” from the original will be dropped in favor of a more traditional scheme that you’ll find in today’s games.
It’s unclear how far the game will lean into the action or if there will be quick-time events, but given that Capcom has confirmed the remake will be a “reimagining”, it’s likely that many features of the original will be changed. or be completely removed.
