The classic approaches weren’t bad or archaic. It’s a common misconception. They often had janky controls, poor accessibility, or even overly difficult game 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
While this entire series has some commonalities with Studio Ghibli’s works, certain titles have Ghibli’s magic more than others. Those titles are Dominion of the Dark Djinn and Wrath of the White Witch. Those two particular games are worth checking out because their animated sequences were created by Studio Ghi
Back in 2002, Capcom developed a remake of the first Resident Evil game , which was led by series creator Shinji Mikami when he was still employed at Capcom. The remake was first released to the Nintendo GameCube, however, which proved to be a fatal move on Capcom’s part given that most Resident Evil games were always released on a PlayStation console. Given this, most fans of Resident Evil were transitioning from the original PlayStation to the PlayStation 2, which is a key factor as to why the game had lackluster sales during its initial rele
While there are a lot of questions that need to be answered, overall, it does not require Capcom to drastically change Resident Evil 4’s storyline if a Remake is being produced. If anything, it allows Capcom to keep everything intact that was originally included in the Resident Evil 4 storyline and merely add more depth to the story already in place. Even before Capcom made these revelations about the Nemesis’ link to Resident Evil 4 , there were still hardcore fans out there who speculated the possibility that the Nemesis parasite could be linked to the Las Plagas parasites in Resident Evil 4 , given the rather shallow amount of information available on the background of the Nemesis paras
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
PlayStation’s Tim Turi did an interview with Resident Evil 3’s development staff regarding the Nemesis creature, and it was revealed that its new ability to infect zombies was the result of its relation to the Las Plagas-infected hosts known as the Ganado in Resident Evil 4 . “We wanted NE-a infected enemies [enemies infected by the Nemesis] to be visually similar to the Plagas-infected Ganados as a means for fans to piece together how Nemesis fits within the whole Resident Evil franchi
It would be interesting to have a sort of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes type of release for the remake in Order 66 survivor to get players excited for it and to also set up Leon better. Maybe they could even include cut content like the ghost house or the Hook
The exploration in this world is a blast, with players discovering several new areas, tackling a host of powerful enemies, and gathering materials to expand their settlement. This, coupled with multiplayer gameplay and mod support, leads to a title that players will be enamored with for hours on
If Zelda goes back to 2D, it stands alongside the indie scene. It showcases that these older takes shouldn’t be abandoned due to their age. Many other games are doing this already, but none have the clout of Zelda. Going back to 2D with its next main entry – not a remake, remaster, or spin-off – would set a major precedent: not every new triple-A title needs to splash out to make a big blockbuster. It could be a hybrid like Octopath Traveler with its 2D sprites on top of its paper-like background, or it could go the full mile and be completely 2D. Whatever it does, going back would be refreshing for gaming and it could pave the way for other studios to do similar things with their own catal
For the first time, the new revelation gives Resident Evil 4’s parasitic enemies a significant role in the Resident Evil universe and timeline, and a directly links them to Resident Evil’s Umbrella Corporation . Before Capcom revealed this information, little was revealed about the origins of the Nemesis parasite, other than it was an artificially created parasite made in Umbrella’s European facilities. The context of this parasite nor its origins were ever disclosed, until
