This didn’t feel the same in Resident Evil 3 or Village, due to a forgiving focus on action and campaigns that were so short that you never had enough time to feel overwhelmed. You’re on a relatively linear track of varying locations and setpieces, meaning Ethan Winters and Jill Valentine never feel lost or alone amidst foreign circumstances. They’re also armed to the teeth, so zombies and werewolves that would feel like the end of the world to a normal civilian are little more than pesky obstacles to our unstoppable her
With the release of the Resident Evil 3 __ remake, fans are wondering what’s coming next. Will Capcom release Resident Evil VIII ? It has been three years since its predecessor launched in 2017. Rumors are already swirling about the game suggesting that it could be even more drastically different from Resident Evil V
Cere Junda is a former Jedi from the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order video game. Junda was captured by Imperial forces not long after Order 66 and tortured until she divulged the location of her padawan, Trillia, who would eventually become the Second Sister, one of the many Inquisitors in canon . Cere Junda used the Force to escape her captors, and eventually lived an anonymous life far removed from her origins. She would have remained so if not for meeting another Jedi survivor of Order 66, Cal Kes
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
Ferren Barr is one of the Jedi survivors of Order 66 explored in Marvel Comics. He was a padawan at the time of the attack and managed to escape. He is one of the few people in the galaxy who learn who Darth Vader truly is. After hacking into the Imperial defense network, he finds out the truth about Anakin Skywalker and organizes a small army of followers to lead an attack on Vader and the Empire. Unfortunately, his mission ends in failure and with his death at hands of the powerful Sith L
As mentioned earlier, the game can get pretty intense with the number of villagers hounding after Leon. Some areas, like the early village sections, are interesting puzzles. Where is the best place to set up shop in order to take the horde out most effectively? It makes the player really th
He’s one of the most iconic characters in video games, and Nintendo allowed us to shape him into something that represents us even if it goes against exactly how the canonical universe might have wanted it. All these years later, it remains one of the game’s strongest elements, and it seems Breath of the Wild 2 is not only expanding upon the potential for fashion, but providing the player with ample tools to make this version of Link into whoever or whatever they want. Obviously, I’m going off a brief reveal trailer, but there’s so much here to delve i
The classic approaches weren’t bad or archaic. It’s a common misconception. They often had janky controls, poor accessibility, or even overly difficult handcrafted Game Landscapes design – but the aesthetic was never to blame. The industry has ironed out a lot of these creases over the years to create much smoother experiences, and the indie space is proof enough that 2D doesn’t mean old and obtuse. The Binding of Isaac takes the original Zelda and makes it a roguelike, even sharing its UI, dungeon format, and item pickup animation – the inspirations ooze. Undertale is a 2D RPG that has combat expressed through a small box that has you avoiding the bullet-hell barrage – it doesn’t rely on fancy graphics. Little Dew is a more comedic Zelda that feels like an HD rendition of the classics with a quaint, cartoony art style. These are all iconic titles, despite not being 3D triple-A blockbusters. Meanwhile, when Nintendo wants to revive its classic library, it does so by modifying its 2D approach, 3Dizing them instead. Look no further than the upcoming Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Pokemon gam
Grogu’s life after Order 66 is generally a mystery, as is much about him. It’s not clear who his master was, or if he had one at the time of the attack. His survival seems to be the result of the kindness and sacrifice of a mysterious benefac
One of our editors has said that Breath of the Wild 2 could be teasing two alternate versions of Link , and given how the airborne and land adjacent versions of our protagonist are so aesthetically distinct, perhaps there is some truth to that. Alternatively, Link’s newfound abilities are something that only work in certain environments, requiring an outfit change and flowing golden hair to make specific feats possi
