As mentioned earlier, the game can get pretty intense with the number of villagers hounding after Leon. Some areas, like the early village sections, are interesting puzzles. Where is the best place to set up shop in order to take the horde out most effectively? It makes the player really th
It does something that a remake or remaster can never do. No matter how much Mass Effect Legendary Edition or Spyro Reignited may look like how we remember them, they’ll never be able to capture the experience of playing games as a kid. Revisiting classics through remasters and remakes definitely induces nostalgia, and they have the power to trigger all manner of memories and feelings from the past, but a fresh coat of paint just isn’t enough to truly bring me back. Resident Evil 2 Remake Evil 4 VR, despite it being a completely different format, has moved me in ways a normal remake never could. This game makes me regress, and from talking to other people and watching streamers play it, it seems to be doing the same thing to everyone that grew up with Leon’s Spanish advent
When it comes to gameplay, Code Veronica is almost two times longer than Resident Evil 3: Nemesis . On average, it takes about 11.5 hours to beat a Code Veronica campaign (X or original). Meanwhile, it takes gamers about 6.5 hours to beat the original RE3 . The remake for RE3 takes even less time to beat, with an estimated average six hours of gamep
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
The market for Resident Evil remasters is provably profitable and less expensive to produce than a ground-up remake. To satisfy fans' hunger for an updated Code Veronica experience, Capcom can release an "ultimate edition" of the game. Capcom could improve on the already enhanced visuals from the 2011 HD remaster, adding more detailed textures and character models while improving the frame-rate. And if this sells well, Capcom can finally get to work on the remake for next gen conso
The real wildcard is the new landmass that floats in the sky, a location that could throw everything we know out the window and incorporate a playstyle that is completely different from anything we’ve seen before. Link ( or could it be Ganon or Zelda? ) is capable of morphing through solid objects and flying through the air, so perhaps the need for climbing is obsolete in these circumstances. There are so many questions, but even now it seems Nintendo is acknowledging some of the previous game’s flaws and instead of removing them, is introducing diverse new gameplay ideas that provide other avenues of movement and traversal. Don’t just ditch the encumbrance of climbing in the rain or fragile weapons - instead, provide alternate ways of movement and combat that force you to rethink previously frustrating moments in a new way. Blatant removal feels like cowardice.
Since then, shops have opened up in other games, usually through New Game+ modes. While it might be tempting to just do that again without clerks, they shouldn't get rid of The Merchant. His warping around may not make sense but he is as big a part of the game as Leon
A remake of RE4 is rumored for a 2022 release. But that doesn't mean Capcom won't bring us back to the 2000 Dreamcast classic somewhere down the line. With next-gen hardware on the horizon, it's likely that any possible Code Veronica remake will find a home on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Here are six reasons why Capcom should bring Code Veronica into the next generation and four reasons they should
Breath of the Wild followed the evolution of RPGs across the industry - open-world, 3D, and filled with side objectives and little tidbits to do besides the main story. The difference was that it revolutionized open-world games, as evidenced by the titles it has since inspired like Genshin Impact, Immortals Fenyx Rising, and Horizon Forbidden West, but Nintendo’s been there and done that… twice now. Whatever comes after Breath of the Wild 2 will determine Zelda’s future trajectory in a rather significant way. For current generations, BOTW is what put the series on the map. I had friends that played the DS and Game Boy ones at school but it was never a part of my childhood. What really drew my eye to the series was BOTW. Granted, I’m 21 so in my age group, I’m no doubt an anomaly. I imagine that for those much younger, however, Zelda is known as that open-world jaunt on the Swi
