Initial reports regarding the existence of Resident Evil 8 can be traced back to the website Biohazard Declassified from as early as January 2020 . The original leak claimed that name of the sequel would be called Resident Evil: Village , with the roman numerals ‘VIII’ hidden in the game’s title, signifying that it would be the eighth mainline entry in the franchise. RE8: Village would feature multiple new enemy types including « wolf-like creatures that will attack the player in certain areas, » a persistent shadowy female that follows the player similar to Mister X and Nemesis, and Needle Knight Leda multiple witches that hunt Ethan. In terms of location, RE8 starts in a village and leads up to a castle, with a medieval setting and rural, snowy, and mountainous terr
While Little Nightmares might be significantly scarier than the average Studio Ghibli experience, there’s no denying the comparisons that can be made regardless. This is especially true when one looks at the artwork of Spirited Away, one of the most well-known Studio Ghibli mov
In general, the controls to Resident Evil 4 do not need much updating. Movement is strategic and intense, aiming is swift and responsive, and the animations are crisp and memorable. The camera, on the other hand, could use a little bit of w
_ Code Veronica _ is almost the end of an era of sorts for _ Resident Evil _ , and it in turn pays tribute to the franchise’s many settings and recurring puzzles– going so far as to even feature a rendition of the original game’s mansion during the climax. It’s a nice nod for fans of the series, but it also means _ CV _ has a very derivative sett
Perhaps the most glaring reason _ Code Veronica _ needs a remake before _ Resident Evil 4 _ is that it’s simply the next game in the chronology. Both in the _ Resident Evil _ main timeline and in the franchise’s release order, _ Code Veronica _ follows _ Resident Evil 3 _ . Skipping over to _ RE4 _ – a game that flashes forward roughly a decade– seems a poor move. It’s also disconcerting in the sense that this would imply Capcom has no interest in remaking _ Code Veronica _ . Why remake _ Resident Evil 4 _ first just to jump back in time for _ CV
In the original Resident Evil 4 storyline, the parasites were found in a particular cave in a mountainous region of Spain, and had been used by Los Iluminados cultists hundreds of years ago to mutate themselves and obtain incredible strength and resilience. This all stopped when the Spanish Inquisition flexed its power and crushed them, leaving successors known as castellans to guard over the cave from their castle, and ensure its clos
Despite seeming like a simple game, there’s a lot of depth to Earthbound that most people don’t notice until they’ve sunk a few hours into this adventure. The charm of this title makes it perfect for Studio Ghibli fans who want to enjoy more video games in the same v
Though Resident Evil 4 has yet to be officially confirmed, these revelations linking the Nemesis to Resident Evil 4 come at an interesting time given the rumors abound. It could appear out of place to suddenly make a significant link between the Nemesis and Resident Evil 4, unless perhaps Capcom has something relevant stirring in the
Remaking Code Veronica on next gen consoles would provide this cult classic with a visual update that it has long deserved. It has been over 20 years since the game’s initial release in February 2000 on Sega’s Dreamcast. Although, visually enhanced in 2011, the graphics don’t hold up well to today’s standa
_ Code Veronica _ , on the other hand, builds up on plot threads established by the original trilogy in order to tell a story that was meant to set-up a final confrontation with Umbrella. While Chris and Claire don’t have much in the way of character arcs, they contrast nicely with the main villains, leading to surprisingly poignant classist them
By far one of the most oddly satisfying things about the original Resident Evil 4 is its inventory system. The player has access to a grid-based attache case, with purchasable upgrades, and must intelligently arrange their weapons and items to use the available space most efficien
With the success of the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 , it seemed all but inevitable to fans that Capcom would move the remake treatment on to the next game in the venerable series. Resident Evil 4 is widely regarded as one of the best titles in the franchise, but it’s also a very different game from its predecessors, which raises questions as to what the remake will look l
