Tears of the Kingdom is one of the biggest landmark achievements in gaming, NG+1000 Run building up on the success of Breath of the Wild and making its predecessor feel like a tech demo in many ways. The integration of Ultrahand is easily one of the most innovative modern mechanics open-world gaming has seen in quite some time, showing how graphics isn't something that should be the major focus in an era where gameplay can be innovated to such a massive ext
With plenty of rumors buzzing around regarding Resident Evil games lately, there is finally some official news from Capcom regarding Resident Evil 3's Nemesis. Some very significant revelations also link this creature to the all but confirmed Resident Evil 4 Remake Capcom is rumored to be working
Most people assume that Studio Ghibli's movies are mainly for kids and don't feature any mature themes, which couldn't be further from the truth. Movies like Grave of the Fireflies prove that the studio doesn't shy away from tackling more disturbing topics, with this legendary movie being a great example of how fragile human life becomes in the throes of
Leon is once again part of the mainstream as far as video game characters are concerned, with his appearance in _ Resident Evil 2 _ doing wonders for his personality– even giving him some semblance of an arc. Following Leon into the events of _ Resident Evil 4 _ now that the Raccoon City Outbreak is over does make a degree of sense. But so does following Claire into _ CV
Since then, the Resident Evil remake was ported to the Wii before getting an HD remastered version for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. It is worth noting that the only time the Resident Evil remake sold a significant amount of copies was when it was remastered to current-generation consoles. However, despite its lackluster initial sales, the Resident Evil remake is often regarded by most fans as the best one yet, given that it stayed 90% faithful to the original material. There were some minor additions to the game's story such as the Lisa Trevor storyline, but most of the changes were improvements such as a major graphical overhaul, a new script, and better voice-over, which is a vast improvement over the infamous voice acting of the 1996 original g
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 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
Chris Redfield may be the closest thing _ Resident Evil _ has to a main character, but he’s hardly the face of the franchise. Beyond conceding that role to Jill Valentine, Chris’ popularity is outshined by that of Leon S. Kennedy. The main character of _ Resident Evil 2 _ and _ 4 _ , it only makes sense to strike while the iron’s
Is there anything that can save VR? Before I played Resident Evil 4 VR, I probably would have said this is as good as it gets for the Quest 2. Now that I’ve got my hands on it, however, I firmly believe that remakes are the future of
On the subject of the store, let’s get rid of the random assortment of the same types. There are so many 9MM pistols and shotguns in the game. Buying one only to have a better model come around later feels like the money invested in the previous model to be a wa
But, assuming that Resident Evil 4 remake is in the works, how should Capcom approach its re-imagining? Well, given that Resident Evil 4 will be the fourth major remake of a mainline Resident Evil game, it stands to be one of the best. The reason for this is that Capcom has already remade the first three Resident Evil games, with each game giving the studio feedback from fans and critics on which elements of the remake did or did not work. Now, based on the reception of each of the Resident Evil remakes, here are the lessons that Capcom should implement in the development of Resident Evil
Enough time has passed since both the original _ Resident Evil _ remake and _ Resident Evil 5 _ where Wesker isn’t exactly a presence anymore as far as the franchise is concerned. His legacy may be alive, but Wesker is long gone narratively. Which is why remaking _ Code Veronica _ might raise more questions than answers. Modern audiences won’t be able to attach themselves to the intimate history between Chris and Wesker. More importantly, Wesker’s role in _ Code Veronica _ simply has nowhere to go unless Capcom plans on remaking _ Resident Evil 5, _ which seems unlikely given how well the game still se
