Will Capcom ever do this and announce the Haunting Ground Remake, like it did with the relaunch of the classic horror series Resident Evil?

The popularity of remakes has become huge during this generation, especially after Capcom made a wonderful move on the Resident Evil series using the updated version of the wonderful RE Engine, which has already shown quality graphics that we haven't seen in many games of the generation.

This has also contributed to the success of the Resident Evil series again after its classic installments achieved similar success when it was released several years ago. It can be said that Capcom is the company of double hits, but where will these hits continue and will we see more of the company's classics return again with remakes?

Recently, we were able to witness Capcom's creativity with Resident Evil 4 Remake, the great and qualitative change in the level of anchors and the reintroduction of the game, whether for old or new audiences.

But one of the games that I hope to see return with the same comeback as the Resident Evil series is the survival horror game Haunting Ground. Many may not remember this game, but it was one of the best games that introduced the idea of real survival, especially since it follows the story of a weak girl who does not have any self-defense elements. This made the survival elements manifest in their strongest forms. There is no doubt that the use of some new elements made the game more realistic and also made the player continuously immerse themselves in its events and atmosphere.

Let's first take a look at the story of the game and its idea, which revolves around escaping to survive, staying without using any weapon, however simple it may be, and all you will have in the game is your mind, heart and feet alongside a wonderful friend that you will meet after progressing a little in the game.

The story of the game revolves around a young girl named “Fiona Bailey” who wakes up to find herself trapped inside a cage in one of the remote castles after suffering a traffic accident during which she lost consciousness. Along the way, she meets her dog friend Huey, who will help her escape and save her life.

The player controls the character of the girl “Fiona” at all times, as she will explore the castle and seek its secrets to know how to get out of it. Controlling the player is that when Fiona feels scared, she loses control over herself and you will find her running away in different directions, and this will make the player lose some control over her, trying to direct her to the right path. Ideas that made the gameplay enjoyable and different from the first horror games.

Fiona, as I mentioned, is a skinny girl who does not master the fighting methods like in other Capcom horror games, and that is what made her have her own character, although many believe that she is a bit similar to the game Clock Tower, which is also one of Capcom's horror series, and some critics even described her as a good development of the Clock Tower series.

Fiona will not be alone and will accompany her from the beginning of her adventure the white dog “Huey”, where you find him tied to a tree trunk in the castle garden, and after his dismounting, they will have a strong relationship that develops as the story of the game progresses, and Fiona can count on Huey in many situations, such as attacking enemies and stopping them until Fiona can escape and find a place to hide, or he can help her reach some distant places and help solve puzzles. .etc.

The game Haunting Ground was released in 2005 on the PlayStation 2, and at the time it was a very special and wonderful experience for presenting the idea of survival and horror, although the game received varied ratings, but everyone who tried it and managed to complete its story felt that it was the beginning of a series that would be successful in the future, but unfortunately Capcom was satisfied with a part one for a game that had not returned for more than 15 years, and I think that the opportunity to present the game again in a remake version with some modifications and improvements in the gameplay style in a modern way will make the experience very wonderful and will open the doors for a series in which Capcom can invest in parallel with its other titles.

Dear reader, have you tried the game Haunting Ground, if yes, do you think it provided a different gaming experience than other horror games and do you want to see a remake of the game again?
