Don’t get me wrong, Leon in Resident Evil 4 isn’t to be trifled with, but even as the game enters its final act, Capcom keeps finding new horrors to surprise you with. Upon entering Umbrella’s labs, we stumble upon the Regenedors for the first time. These horrific, grey-skinned beasts are initially unstoppable, marching slowly toward you as otherworldly growls leave their infected lips. The only option is to run, or open fire and pray there is some way to bring this thing down. There isn’t, not until you come across the thermal scope and uncover the secret behind its impossible power. Scares force you to think smartly and find immediate solutions, instead of pulling out your shotgun and blowing your problems a
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
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
Strange as it might be to describe any Mario game as "underrated," Super Mario 3D World comes very close to fitting that bill and it is frequently in the running for the best game on the system . Released on the underperforming Wii U, Super Mario 3D World is the brilliant sequel to Super Mario 3D Land . While staged like the classic platformers, these games add another dimension, basically serving as a link between Mario 's 2D and 3D e
Given that the Las Plagas parasites have existed in their Spanish cave for at least centuries and were used by the older Los Iluminados cult of centuries earlier, it may be hard to make the case that Umbrella's Nemesis monster helped create the Ganado (Los Iluminados members who are infected by the Las Plagas parasites). In all likelihood, it sounds more like the existence of the Las Plagas parasites helped Umbrella create the Nemesis parasite, Adventuregameland.Com and Umbrella's Nemesis was modeled after the Las Plagas paras
It’s not unlike animation’s seemingly unanimous move toward CGI, leaving 2D behind as a relic of the medium. Disney likely won’t ever make something in the style of The Jungle Book or The Lion King again when Tangled, Moana, and Frozen have such a wide appeal. Anime is huge in its own right but it doesn’t have the same pull in the West as Pixar, Disney, or DreamWorks - all of which have moved toward CGI animation. Indies in gaming hanging onto the old approach is like anime retaining its 2D style. Nintendo taking Zelda back in time would be akin to Disney releasing a new animated film in 2D. It would show that the approach still has a place and it would pave the way for others to do the same in whatever shape or form that might take. I wasn’t particularly optimistic about this ever being a possibility but now, with Metroid Dread , there’s a glimmer of hope on the hori
Resident Evil 4 Remake could even help tie-in the storyline to Resident Evil 5 much better in moving the timeline forward, and in hopefully creating more relevance and history between the T-Virus and Las Plagas parasite, and much of what has transpired in the Resident Evil plot since then. Resident Evil 5 's storyline also stood out as slightly odd in its own way, given that its plot focuses on the origins of the T-Virus, or Progenitor plant which it came from, in West Africa where it was originally discovered, but its inclusion in the game is mini
Fortunately, if a Resident Evil 4 Remake is in the works, it may be getting a richer storyline, or at least one that is more closely sewn to the overall Resident Evil universe and timeline. PlayStation's Tim Turi did an interview with Resident Evil 3 's development team , and the Nemesis monster was revealed to have a clear and direct link to the parasitic creatures in Resident Evil
If Zelda goes back to 2D, it stands alongside the indie scene. It showcases that these older takes shouldn’t be abandoned due to their age. Many other games are doing this already, but none have the clout of Zelda. Going back to 2D with its next main entry - not a remake, remaster, or spin-off - would set a major precedent: not every new triple-A title needs to splash out to make a big blockbuster. It could be a hybrid like Octopath Traveler with its 2D sprites on top of its paper-like background, or it could go the full mile and be completely 2D. Whatever it does, going back would be refreshing for gaming and it could pave the way for other studios to do similar things with their own catal
