Someone Is Porting Resident Evil 4 Remake To GBA, Because Why Not

Why remake when you can demake?

www.thegamer.com

3DSage is a bit of a Game Boy Advance aficionado. He's turned a GBA into a wireless controller, created his own custom 3D game engine for the GBA, and is even using it to recreate Doom. He's still a ways away from bringing a pixelated version of the CyberDemon to the tiny 240x160 pixel screen, but he's already made incredible progress on remaking Resident Evil 4.



As you can see in the video above, 3DSage has already got a Leon sprite where the player permanently peers over his right shoulder, and he's created a 3D map for Leon to shoot things. He doesn't actually have things to shoot, but if 3DSage hits the precise pixel, he can create an Old Lamp sprite.

That said, 3DSage still has quite a bit of work ahead to even recreate the Resident Evil 4 remake's demo, which has Leon fend off a village of infected before the bell rings for bingo night. According to 3DSage, it's more likely that we'll see the shooting range or Pueblo recreated in his custom GBA 3D game engine rather than Salazar's castle, but that's still pretty impressive for a handheld console that's over two decades old.

It's literally just a 2D sprite of Leon with 2 frames to it. I'm not sure I would call this a port, or even particularly impressive. Cool though, I guess.

Change the leon sprite to gears of war chads
And you have gears of war on the gba

 

[Elysion]

A better way to do it would be to recreate the game with prerendered backgrounds, like that old Resident Evil 2 demo for GBA from 20 years ago:

 

[BlackTron]

Hey man, don't go too hard on yourself. Just port the original RE4 to GBA instead as a warmup and save the remake for later.

 

[Connificent]

No deadzone edition.

 

[SeraphJan]

These Demakes/Demasterish-Backport is getting boring

Resident Evil 4 EX: Leon Sprite in Space Harrier Land.

Still insane how good this looks.

 

[Skifi28]

Not sure that count as "porting".

Weakness disgust me. Port it to OG Gameboy.

Huh? You know there is an actual official boxed port of Doom (and Doom 2) that came out on GBA right?

 

[Kupfer]

Wouldn't it be easier to recreate RE4 in Open Lara? After all, Open Lara runs as a "real" game on the GBA

 

[Astral Dog]

GBA is more capable than that

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

See ya in 10 years buddy.

Now Open Lara's a tomb I'd like to raid!

That's a lot of attention for rendering three sprites and coding six button inputs...

 

[Knightime_X]

Likely get C&D'd and won't even be finished.
Making the game pseudo 3D cuts out 90% due to limitations.

Good luck, either way.

 

[Henry Panic]

At least of he did it on the Ngage he would be able to use models and the game would look a little like RE4.

 

[Comandr]

I think stuff like this is cool in a passing "huh, neat." Sort of way. But I would never, not across an infinite number of alternate universes, ever waste my time doing this myself or even bother playing it if it did actually release.
