Regardless of which direction Capcom chooses in its design trajectory for a possible Resident Evil 4 Remake , it will certainly have much to live up to, given Resident Evil 4 is considered among the best the Resident Evil series has to offer, which is no small feat. Simply re-envisioning Resident Evil 4 or upgrading its core hallmarks along the framework of Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake will not be enough. Given what Resident Evil 4 accomplished and was remembered for originally, Capcom will either need to set the bar for action gaming, set a new trajectory for survival horror, or both, depending on its chosen direct
The remake of Resident Evil 3 reportedly shipped two million units in five days. There is an obvious hunger from consumers to relive games of the past rebuilt for modern consoles. The remake of Resident Evil 2 is currently Capcom’s sixth best-selling game of all time, with roughly 5.8 million units sold. Similarly, the original 1998 release of Resident Evil 2 for PS1 is Capcom’s seventh best-selling game of all time. That game sold 4.96 million units worldwide, not counting the various ports and updated re-relea
It should go without saying that many people love Code Veronica , gamers and critics alike. Gamespot gave Code Veronica X a score of 9/10, similarly BagoGames gave this classic a 9.5/10. The game also received rave reviews upon release and is one of the Dreamcast’s Best Nintendo characters selling tit
In the mid-2000s, everybody and their mothers wanted to add in quick time events. It was supposed to immerse players more. While they still exist today, a lot of companies have learned not to be so strict with prompts meaning that a missed button press or two won’t result in a game o
However, neither of these games encourage experimentation like Breath of the Wild does, so it’s much easier to provide us with an easier mode of traversal instead of artificially increasing the time required to reach our destination. However you slice it, these games viewed climbing in the rain and weapon degradation as negatives, choosing to build upon Nintendo’s vision by removing them entirely. I understand why games that adopt so many of the ideas pioneered by Breath of the Wild opt to change them, because every game is different and it’s unfair to tar them all with the same brush. That being said, I don’t want the upcoming sequel to follow in their footsteps. Nintendo needs to stick to its guns, favouring clumsy wet traversal and obscenely delicate weapons over an adventure that simplifies things to the point of triviality.
Pokemon is a video game franchise that needs no introduction. While the modern entries in this series have been criticized for plenty of reasons, that shouldn’t take away from the charm these games hold when things click into pl
You also can’t climb in the rain, with Link being encouraged to find another route up a mountain the moment a drop of water falls from the sky. These are all polarising mechanics, and for good reason, but they also help define Breath of the Wild as a special experience that always changes things up, seldom having you repeat the same tasks in order to complete your objective. If it wasn’t different, it wouldn’t be Zelda.
Link can’t speak, making Zelda the emotional core of a story in desperate need of one. Our protagonist can only stop and stare, providing the occasional nod or grunt to ensure he is with Zelda regardless of whatever circumstances might greet them. Given that so many of Breath of the Wild’s strongest moments are fragmented flashbacks and snapshots of Link’s own memories, it told a wonderfully coherent story of bittersweet heroism. Sacrifices are required to save the world, and Zelda is fully aware of the need to step forward and face the music even if it means giving herself up. She does this, but Link is able to save her, and Breath of the Wild 2 should explore their new lives and the inevitable threat that has the potential to wipe them out once ag
Ashley is annoying on many levels. She is the stereotypical damsel in distress that can’t do anything while following Leon around. Sometimes there will be a garbage bin for her to hide in safely, but more often then not she’ll be tagging along just to get in the
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
Judging from the trailers we’ve seen thus far, Breath of the Wild 2 is going to be rather similar to its predecessor – at least in terms of moment-to-moment gameplay. The version of Hyrule we explored in the last game is making a return, with Link stumbling across familiar landmarks and enemies with an outfit and movements we recognise from the last game. I imagine towns have been rebuilt and the region is a little more alive now Calamity Ganon has been vanquished, but the layout is likely similar. Because of this, the way in which we explore this world should remain recognisable, so returning players feel welcome and newcomers aren’t alienated by a sequel that challenges some of its younger sibling’s most daring and creative ideas.
