There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but Zelda has always been a wonderfully diverse series. Not to the extent of Mario which has crossed all manner of genres in its years, but it is diverse all the same. It has shaped the RPG genre numerous times since the ‘80s, inspiring the likes of Dark Souls, Secret of Mana, Shadow of the Colossus, and now, the aforementioned Genshin Impact. You can see how much the RPG genre varies with Zelda’s inspirations alone and that’s telling. After Breath of the Wild 2, it needs to do something different again. Going back to the classics might not scream new. In fact, it sounds like a step back, aye? Well, that’s the thing. The triple-A space seems to be scared of its own history, desperate to move past it and become more cinematic, more graphically domineering. It’s all about tech and visual prowess. But art style is just as import

It could be that I’m worrying over nothing, and Capcom plans to do Resident Evil 4 all the justice in the world, but many of the habits it has formed and repeated over the last generation have me thinking otherwise. I hope I’m proven wrong, since I’m still so excited for such a reboot, but not if it does a disservice to what came before

Given that the G-Virus was discovered in 1988 in Lisa Trevor, this means that Umbrella must have known about Salazar's castle and the Las Plagas parasites in the caves nearby for a long time. The link between the Nemesis parasite and the Las Plagas parasites ties Resident Evil 4 deeply into the timeline of the series' past, thereby making it all the more relevant and necessary in setting the trajectory for Resident Evil 4 's timeline thereaf

If Resident Evil 4 Remake follows the tradition of its original counterpart, Resident Evil 4 would certainly be more action-oriented than the Resident Evil 2 and even Resident Evil 3 remake's, the latter of which took on a more action-oriented approach than the for

Furthermore, whether plenty of ammo will conveniently drop out of random enemies' pockets to be picked up by the player is also an unusual inclusion in a Resident Evil game in its context, though it is very common in third-person action-games in general, when they are not attempting to simulate any layer of realism compatible to a survival-horror game. Capcom could experiment with more contemporary trends in addressing enemy-drops, such as looting the bodies, specifically their pock

By giving Resident Evil 4 's Las Plagas parasites more relevance to the series' past, it also makes them all the more relevant in moving forward and creating rich storytelling for Resident Evil 's future, moving ahead. If the Nemesis parasite was fully or partly modeled after the Las Plagas parasites , we can assume that Umbrella was aware of the existence of the Las Plagas, and could likely had some sort of organizational connection to Resident Evil 4' s main villa

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 Adventure games Patch notes, 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

Given that there were already some framerate issues with Resident Evil 3 Remake on consoles, the higher number of enemies and action on the screen in Resident Evil 4 may require next-generation console technology to fully bring it to fruition. Resident Evil 4's tank-like controls certainly have not aged well to most, and are more than in need of updating, which a new engine or the current Resident Evil engine can accommodate fu

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
