As a VR enthusiast, it’s hard to understand why the Oculus Quest 2 still hasn’t hit critical mass. It’s not a matter of cost: the Quest 2 is half the price of the PS5 and Xbox Series X and less than a third of a 30-series GPU, and unlike all of those, is widely available. It’s not due to a lack Ashes of War animation content either. There are hundreds of games on the Oculus store, and at least a dozen I would consider must-plays. There are even more if you have a decent computer to link to, like Half-Life: Alyx , Star Wars Squadrons, and my personal favorite, Insomniac’s Stormland. I don’t think it’s an accessibility issue either – at least not for the vast majority of potential VR players. Resolution and high refresh rates have virtually eliminated the disorientation of early VR, and even if you’re especially squeamish, every game has plenty of settings built in that help eliminate any discomfort. If you ask me, the Quest 2 ought to be as ubiquitous as the equally-priced Nintendo Switch, but as of this past July, the Quest 2 has only sold four million units to the Switch’s
It is also possible that Capcom could tune-down the action in comparison to the original, and create an experience more akin to the Resident Evil 3 Remake, or a unique experience that truly attempts to mend the survival horror and action genres in innovative ways. This could certainly put to rest the historical controversy among some die-hard Resident Evil fans over whether or not Resident Evil 4 took the series in the right direction or not, or whether Resident Evil 4 could still be considered a survival-horror ga
Code Veronica , despite not being numerically titled, appears to be more of a direct sequel than RE3: Nemesis . Redfield’s motivation to find her brother carries over from RE2 to Code Veronica , showing tremendous plot continuity between both games. Whereas, RE3 was just another viewpoint from the Raccoon City infestation. Rather than being a direct sequel, Resident Evil 3 is both a prequel and a sequel. RE3 begins before the events of the second game, but ends following Leon and Claire’s esc
VR remakes like Resident Evil 4 are a much easier sell to non-VR players than other games in the medium. I can preach about how remarkable Half-Life: Alyx is until everyone hates me (which happens often) but it’s impossible to really understand how great that game is unless you play it for yourself. This has always been a huge barrier for VR, which is why Oculus was so keen on developing a wireless model that could more easily be taken on the go and shared with friends. People need to try VR before they really get it, but remakes of classic games like RE4 might just be compelling enough to convince people to take the dive sight unseen. “It’s Resident Evil 4, but you’re actually walking through the village yourself” is easy to wrap your head around, and a pretty intriguing premise
Unfortunately, that’s all we currently know about the Resident Evil 4 Remake but it’s safe to say that the rumors have some merit given the track record of the sources and the ongoing accuracy we’ve seen so far with Resident Evil 8 . There’s still plenty to learn about the next-generation sequel ahead of its 2021 launch, and according to the official website, players can expect the next update for Resident Evil: Village to occur sometime in August 2
With the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Capcom has the potential to make a REmake more powerful than any game before it. Even if RE4 gets the next gen treatment first, Code Veronica should be next in line for a full-fledged remake. Imagine your journey through Rockfort Island and Antarctica with breath-taking 8K visu
She was in possession of the location of numerous potential Jedi and Force-sensitive children, which made her invaluable to Darth Vader and especially the Emperor. She eventually dies at Vader’s hands, but not before proving she was one of the most underrated Jedi in the or
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
When it comes to gameplay, Code Veronica is almost two times longer than Resident Evil 3: Nemesis . On average, it takes about 11.5 hours to beat a Code Veronica campaign (X or original). Meanwhile, it takes gamers about 6.5 hours to beat the original RE3 . The remake for RE3 takes even less time to beat, with an estimated average six hours of gamep
Resident Evil: Village is being developed using Capcom’s famous RE Engine ( Resident Evil 7 , Resident Evil 3 Remake , Devil May Cry 5 ) and will see the return of the first-person perspective that was introduced in RE7, and will have no loading times thanks to the new hardware. Based on the RE8 announcement trailer , the next-gen sequel will feature new types of enemies including werewolf-like beasts, a mysterious village cult, and witches, who are shown controlling a swarm of bugs and draining blood from Ethan. RE8 will also have a revamped inventory system that plays into the game’s larger focus on action – although we don’t know if that will be more in line with Resident Evil 3 action or the balanced approach of Resident Evi
