I can’t play the Spyro trilogy for the first time again, nor can I approach it with the same innocence and sense of wonder that I did when I was ten years old. I still love the series, but games have changed a lot since Spyro first came out. There have been 20 years of evolution and innovation since Spyro the Dragon was made, and I’ve seen how games have been refined and enhanced since then. I’ve changed a lot too. I’m a critic now, and I pick games apart and analyze them for a living. I can revisit Spyro from a new perspective, but now I experience it as an echo of the original – a snapshot of my childh
However, the next rumored remake in the RE series is Resident Evil 4 , speculated to be released sometime in 2022. The events of RE4 takes place a whole six years after RE2 . If the RE4 remake releases before a Code Veronica remake then chronological order obviously isn’t that important to Capcom. However, even if Capcom doesn’t maintain chronological order, there is still a chance Code Veronica will be updated for next gen consoles. The drive to maintain chronological order would just mean the remake of Code Veronica could see an earlier release than expec
Updated February 18, 2024 by Mark Sammut: 2024 is underway, and Nintendo has just released its first major exclusive of the year. While Mario vs. Donkey Kong will probably not go down as one of the biggest games of 2024, it is still a solid first-party release that can keep someone engaged until the arrival of Princess Peach: Showti
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 Respawn Entertainment game modes of all time. That game sold 4.96 million units worldwide, not counting the various ports and updated re-relea
As a silent protagonist – with the exception of all manner of grunts, yelps, and screams – Link is only able to communicate in a certain number of ways. However, all of the characters around him speak fluently, expressing their struggles and motivations through eloquent dialogue as Link can do nothing but stand and watch. But he doesn’t need to talk, his baby blue eyes and determined body language saying all that needs to be said when it comes to establishing an unwavering promise to help his loved ones and save the wo
Catra from She-Ra and The Princesses of Power and Amity Blight from The Owl House also change their hairstyles to serve their character development, whether that be accepting their own sexuality and leaving behind oppressive familial structures or welcoming those who once pushed you away and putting aside a toxic life of villainy. Once again, these are all female characters confronting a heteronormative society and fighting back against it, even if said worlds are fantastical in nature and far more eccentric than our own. If done right, characters can still be grounded and relatable, as their struggles become ones we can sympathise with. It’s beautiful, so perhaps there’s a reason this tried-and-true trope has so much staying power in modern media.

If Resident Evil fans want to play Code Veronica so badly, they can still play the HD remaster. This 2011 release, although not visually perfect, is still a very fun game to play. Besides, the graphics aren’t that outdated and still look quite pretty. The old-school vibe of fixed camera angles really brings back feelings of nostalgia that might be killed off in a rem
Garnering universal praise when it debuted, Super Mario Maker 2 faded into the backdrop oddly quickly. Perhaps the game just did not feel different enough from the first entry to have staying power, at least in terms of attracting mainstream attent
