I couldn’t get into Breath of the Wild and I couldn’t get into Ocarina of Time. I’ve had zero luck with 3D Zeldas, but I get why they’re popular and beloved. I used to boot up Breath of the Wild simply to throw things into the cooking pot for that sweet jingle. It’s teeming with satisfying little quirks, but it just didn’t click for me. 2D Zelda, on the other hand, is my jam. I love A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, and even the original ‘80s release. Given that we’ve been on a 3D high for so long, maybe it’s time to return to that classic appro
Yes, rapidly pressing buttons during a cutscene to dodge lasers or run away from a boulder is a clear holdover from the 2005 – 2010 game design zeitgeist, where irritating QTEs would bring players to a game over screen if they put their controllers down to grab a drink during a cutscene. These events are more annoying than they are challenging, and are best left beh
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
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
RE4 isn’t the first game to get a VR remake, but it is the first to really capitalize on the nostalgia potential. Skyrim VR, No Man’s Sky, and LA Noire VR are all modified – and in some ways, compromised – versions of modern games, but RE4VR is entirely modernized and enhanced by VR. This isn’t just an alternate way to play RE4, it’s the best way to play it in 2
One huge change that Resident Evil 4 made from its predecessors was the inclusion of a mysterious merchant character. When fighting enemies and exploring the game’s environments, the player would come across money that they could exchange for items, weapons, and upgrades when interacting with this merch
In the end, if Capcom is truly developing a remake of Resident Evil 4 , then it stands to be the best one out of all the remakes, given the experience Capcom has gained with the reimaginings of the first three Resident Evil games. Additionally, the Resident Evil 4 remake is rumored to release at least a year after Resident Evil 8 so Capcom could also use that game as a testing ground on what works and what doesn’t even if RE8 is an original game. As of the moment, it is still unclear where the rumored Resident Evil 4 remake will be released but it is likely that it will see the light of day on next-generation platforms alongside the
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
Breath Prince of Persia comeback 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
I’ve played close to 100 VR games, and I’ve never had an experience like Resident Evil 4. There are better-looking, more immersive, and higher quality games out there, but none have ever given me as much joy and nostalgia as playing Resident Evil in VR has. As soon as the opening cutscene ended and I took control of Leon, I was instantly transported. I know every inch of RE4’s village, castle, and underground mines, but I never felt like I’d been to these places until now. RE4VR feels like the difference between looking at a picture of the Parthenon versus traveling to Greece and standing in the center of it. Seeing RE4 on a screen is incomparable to seeing it in person, and experiences like this have the potential to sell VR to even the most reluctant play
