I’m worried that Breath of the Wild 2 likely won’t heed this advice, with Zelda being yeeted into a hole in the latest trailer and seemingly imprisoned as Link, Ganon, or whoever we end up playing as is tasked with saving her and freeing the realm. It’s far too early to draw conclusions about exactly how BOTW2 will play out, but it’s easy to assume that Nintendo will abide by series conventions and go for something safe.
Princess Zelda is busy holding back Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle, locked in a state of immortality as she tries her best to save the land from ruin. You can either embark on a journey to recruit allies and reclaim the Divine Beasts or simply dick around for hundreds of hours. Ultimately, it’s up to you, and thus any sense of urgency tied to the plot is lost. Player agency is the most important thing here, so for better or worse, the story takes a backseat until you’re ready to tackle it. A number of main characters like Sidon, Riju, and Purah can be found across the game’s major cities, but they’re mostly passive. They’ll initiate cutscenes and dialogue to push the plot forward once you engage with them, but up to that point, they just sort of exist, rarely influencing the world until you decide to acknowledge they even exist.
As we learn more about Resident Evil 8: Village , a significant portion of the original rumors have proved accurate, and while that’s exciting news for the next-generation sequel, it gives far more credence to another project rumored to be in the works at Capcom.

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.

Since then, the Resident Evil remake was ported to the Wii before getting an HD remastered version for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. It is worth noting that the only time the Resident Evil remake sold a significant amount of copies was when it was remastered to current-generation consoles. However, despite its lackluster initial sales, the Resident Evil remake is often regarded by most fans as the best one yet, given that it stayed 90% faithful to the original material. There were some minor additions to the game’s story such as the Lisa Trevor storyline, but most of the changes were improvements such as a major graphical overhaul, a new script, and better voice-over, which is a vast improvement over the infamous voice acting of the 1996 original g
