    SONY'S State of Play update has caused a lot of nostalgic gamers to reminisce about the classics that they adored, as they rolled out footage of upcoming remasters of classic titles and sequels of notable gaming franchises.

    Can these upcoming games live up to the expectations of the community?

    RESIDENT EVIL 4: REMAKE

    Let’s face it, remaking a classic is always a challenge for Capcom, as they've had mixed results in that department.

    Their attempt to revitalize Resident Evil 2 produced one of the most critically acclaimed games ever, while the opposite occurred with Resident Evil 3, which featured a bewildering lack of the original RE3's features and a nuisance of a main villain.

    And now, here we are with Resident Evil 4, which is considered by many to be the greatest RE game of the franchise. Can Capcom pull it off?
