Princess Zelda is sporting a new haircut in Breath of the Wild 2 , which seemingly isn’t a subtle hint that she’ll end up as a playable heroine in the upcoming sequel. Instead, it’s a new look for a main character who has saved her kingdom, witnessed the loss of countless loved ones, and managed to survive and continue with a life she’s afraid isn’t deserved.

Their movies have inspired other creators, including those who make video games. After all, both anime and video games are part of Japan's major international influence. Video game writers and developers have captured in some of their games the same essence of laid-back fantasy as Ghibli films often have. Some of these games are well-known, while others are hidden ge

A remake of Resident Evil 4 feels very different now I’ve played through the entirety of Resident Evil Village . The first-person sequel is essentially a modern successor to the survival-horror masterpiece, adapting many of its ideas and mechanics for a new audience. It’s a campy, overblown adventure filled with over-the-top villains and nonsensical plot developments that ape the series’ finest hour, even if it sacrifices many of its own ideas in the process. Now, unless this rumoured remake completely overhauls the original vision, I can’t help but think it might end up feeling obsol

Capcom has already remade the first three games in the series and updated their graphics for modern standards. If Capcom were to continue making their remakes in chronological order then Code Veronica should be next on the list. Claire's adventure on Rockfort Island and Antarctica takes place three months following the event of RE2 and RE3: Nemes

Catra from She-Ra and The Princesses of Power and Amity Blight from The Owl House also change their hairstyles to serve their character development, whether that be accepting their own sexuality and leaving behind oppressive familial structures or welcoming those who once pushed you away and putting aside a toxic life of villainy. Once again, these are all female characters confronting a heteronormative society and fighting back against it, even if said worlds are fantastical in nature and far more eccentric than our own. If done right, characters can still be grounded and relatable, as their struggles become ones we can sympathise with. It’s beautiful, so perhaps there’s a reason this tried-and-true trope has so much staying power in modern media.

The biggest reveal _ Resident Evil 4 _ makes is that Umbrella dissolved following the events of _ Code Veronica _ . This incident wasn’t put into detail until _ Umbrella Chronicles _ released for the Wii, but a remake of _ Code Veronica _ could make it so Umbrella’s downfall actually has some set

This train of thought originates from the remake of Resident Evil 3, which was a painfully underwhelming successor to the phenomenal remake of Resident Evil 2. The latter was one of Capcom’s best games in years, ushering in a new era of survival horror brilliance that I was confident it would build upon. With the arrival of Resident Evil 3 and Village, it seems it is opting for an action-oriented approach that won’t risk alienating those who aren’t willing to negotiate with horror. It’s the smart move, but creatively, it feels like a hollow one. Resident Evil is at its weakest when the action ramps up, giving way to adequate gunplay instead of allowing its atmosphere and monsters to do the heavy lift

No matter what happens, it remains important to consider the symbolism behind Zelda’s appearance, and how her luscious new hairstyle could be a sign of change for her character that allows her to abandon the shackles of royalty and strive for independence beyond grief and trauma. It’s a powerful message of perseverance for a woman who deserves agency, even more so when you consider the classics that inspired her and how female characters in the world of gaming are finally earning a similar level of respect to their male counterparts.

The story of this game is bound to feel like a Studio Ghibli creation in every sense of the world. Everything from the charming world to the amazing cast of characters will keep players hooked until the end of this amazing experie

Capcom doesn't have to keep altering beloved classics. Instead of keeping fans locked in REmake territory, why not focus on bringing us into the next generation of Resident Evil with RE8 and beyond? The entertainment industry, whether video games or movies, should try and take more risks rather than constantly relying on remakes. It's getting to be a bit too m
