Specifically, it was explained that the Nemesis gained the new ability to infect zombies with its parasites in the Resident Evil 3 Remake because of its biological or engineered link to the Ganado monsters in Resident Evil 4 , which gives it the ability to do so. This revelation poses many implications for Resident Evil 4 Remake 's plot , and especially the series as a wh

Playable Zelda likely isn’t coming in Breath Shadow of Erdtree hidden areas the Wild 2. I’ve made my peace with that eventuality, even if it could help push the series forward in some truly meaningful ways. When all is said and done, Link is the hero of this story - the Hero of Time if you haven’t heard - and his presence is more than enough to carry an open world adventure we’ll spend hours being enamoured with when it arrives in 2022. Another mystery protagonist could be waiting in the wings, but whether they are related to Zelda remains to be s

But could it be Zelda? I’m unsure, partly because one outfit would leave her breasts completely exposed. I know Nintendo is daring these days, but not that daring. I reckon it’s an alternative version of Link or Zelda from another timeline, or a new face entirely who was awakened beneath Hyrule Castle. The possibilities are endless, and I hope their true identity serves the story of our main duo instead of taking away from it. The debate is fierce across our editorial team right now, and I adore how such a small trailer has sparked such an intense discuss

His shiny green arm is also fully revealed in all of the new environments, which is more than just a visual addition - it’s seemingly a mechanical one as this limb can allow him to morph through environments and fly through the air at will. I’m not sure the Switch could handle rendering two open worlds at once, so splitting them up makes perfect sense. I hope this is the case, since it would allow Breath of the Wild 2 to explore bold new ideas without technical comprom

Whether it’s Link, Zelda, or something completely out of left field like Waluigi - I just hope the Princess isn’t left to gather dust as a prisoner beneath Hyrule Castle. As I mentioned earlier, Breath of the Wild’s timeline now exists in the present, offering a level of dramatic agency that simply isn’t possible with flashbacks. Our emotions will react to an ongoing story we’re an integral part of, instead of pondering on flashbacks whose participants have long since met their end. Princess Zelda is the strongest character of the whole lot, and pushing her aside purely so Link has a passive damsel to save is woefully archaic writing this series could do without. Who knows, I still have a feeling she’ll be playable. Or there will be time travel. Screw it - do whatever you want, Ninte

For the most part, Resident Evil 4' s only connection to the rest of the main backbone of Resident Evil's lore was in Albert Wesker's small role in the game. Albert Wesker had a lot of long history with Umbrella and is a longtime iconic villain of the Resident Evil franchise, both serving as an agent for them and turning his back on them later

_ Resident Evil 4 _ ’s story is entertaining, but it’s far from good. _ RE4 _ may have fantastic game design, but its plot did irreversible damage for the series. Leon’s time in Europe amounts to little more than an action movie, with the scares infrequent. Worse, four games of build up are thrown out the window as _ RE4 _ wipes the slate cl

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

As a silent protagonist - with the exception of all manner of grunts, yelps, and screams - Link is only able to communicate in a certain number of ways. However, all of the characters around him speak fluently, expressing their struggles and motivations through eloquent dialogue as Link can do nothing but stand and watch. But he doesn’t need to talk, his baby blue eyes and determined body language saying all that needs to be said when it comes to establishing an unwavering promise to help his loved ones and save the wo

Resident Evil 3 Remake , still fresh from release in April, has successfully continued to enrich the Resident Evil universe by recreating past installments of the series. With a rumored Resident Evil 4 Remake in the works, and potentially new story elements that will link the plot to the Nemesis monster in Resident Evil 3 , there is still plenty in Resident Evil' s past worth delving into with more insi
