Rumors and leaks of a Resident Evil 4 Remake currently point to a potential release date in the year 2022. According to the rumors, the original director of Resident Evil 4 , Shinji Mikami, rejected an offer to lead this new project, but offered advice on the direction it should
The last 2D Zelda was released in 2004 – The Minish Cap . It was followed by Twilight Princess , Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword , A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes, and Breath of the Wild. Now, we have a sequel to the latter on the way. 2D Zelda seems to have died out, but that’s because 2D as a whole has seemingly been tossed to the wayside. Even now, remakes of 2D games opt to 3Dize them (if that isn’t a term, it is now). When I say that Nintendo should release another 2D game, I’m not talking about a remaster or remake or even the style of the 2D games but in 3D a la Link’s Awakening for the Switch. I’m talking flat, 2-dimensional sprites – the whole kaboo
To be sure, certain moments like the encounter with the regenerator stand out as among the scariest in the series , but overall the atmosphere is one of corny one-liners, martial arts kicks, and action movie setpieces. These elements are important to the original game’s appeal, but in keeping with the atmosphere of the previous two remakes, perhaps it’s best to lean a little further into the horror eleme
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. The success of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 immediately led to speculation that a remake of the genre-defining Resident Evil 4 would be the next game in line after Resident Evil remake trilogy Evil 8 . Based on the Resident Evil 8 announcement, let’s take a look at how the rumors stacked up in the end and what that could mean for Resident Evil 4 Rema
Unfortunately, sentiments on “action” Resident Evil titles have soured in the years after Resident Evil 4 thanks to the somewhat mixed reception of Resident Evil 5 among longtime fans, and the outright critical panning of Resident Evil 6 . Resident Evil has been making a successful effort to return to its survival horror roots in recent years, but Capcom will do well to remember that Resident Evil 4 was designed as an action game and an excellent one at t
While the original Resident Evil 2 and 3 are fairly similar games, Resident Evil 4 is an action-oriented title with a faster pace than its predecessors. This variation in source material means that the Resident Evil remake series is likely pushing into new territory, leading to debate on what should and should not be changed from the original g
This enhanced version of Code Veronica X can be played now on the PS3, Xbox 360, and Xbox One through backwards compatibility. Or if you really want to get old school, fire up a Dreamcast. Play Code Veronica like it originally was inten
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
RE: Code Veronica follows up on Claire Redfield’s search for her brother, something that is first referenced in Resident Evil 2 . Immediately, the game shows us that Claire’s mission to find her brother led her to an Umbrella facility in Paris. The character storylines of both games are inherently linked, something absent in comparison to R
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a beautiful game. Despite the relatively limited hardware of the Switch, Nintendo was able to produce a vast, uncompromising open world that could be freely explored for hundreds upon hundreds of hours. Each discovery felt perfectly natural, with its picturesque landscapes and immaculate art design spurring us onward into each new location. It’s a masterpiece that remains unbeaten to this very
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
