There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but Zelda has always been a wonderfully diverse series. Not to the extent of Mario which has crossed all manner of genres in its years, but it is diverse all the same. It has shaped the RPG genre numerous times since the ‘80s, inspiring the likes of Dark Souls, Secret of Mana, Shadow of the Colossus, and now, the aforementioned Genshin Impact. You can see how much the RPG genre varies with Zelda’s inspirations alone and that’s telling. After Breath of the Wild 2, it needs to do something different again. Going back to the classics might not scream new. In fact, it sounds like a step back, aye? Well, that’s the thing. The triple-A space seems to be scared of its own history, desperate to move past it and become more cinematic, more graphically domineering. It’s all about tech and visual prowess. But art style is just as import

If she gets hit, she is pretty much dead meaning that players need to waste valuable healing items on her due to bad AI’s tactics. There’s got to be a better way to implement her in the remake like negating damage like Ellie in The Last of

But could it be Zelda? I’m unsure, partly because one outfit would leave her breasts completely exposed. I know Nintendo is daring these days, but not that daring. I reckon it’s an alternative version of Link or Zelda from another timeline, or a new face entirely who was awakened beneath Hyrule Castle. The possibilities are endless, and I hope their true identity serves the story of our main duo instead of taking away from it. The debate is fierce across our editorial team right now, and I adore how such a small trailer has sparked such an intense discuss

Considering just how long it took for Capcom to develop _ Resident Evil 2 _ ’s remake, it was something of a surprise when the company announced that _ Resident Evil 3 _ ’s remake was in active development. What was more surprising, though, was the reveal that a _ Resident Evil 4 _ remake is underway. This has concerned fans for two reasons: the first being _ RE4 _ ’s already stellar reputation and the second the fact that Capcom is skipping an entire g

Antarctica makes for an interesting change of pace during the backhalf, but _ Code Veronica _ is so disconnected from any personal infection or outbreak that it lacks the human touch found in the settings of the original ga

Other rumors suggest Resident Evil 4 will get the remake treatment next. Is that necessary? It has been ported numerous times in various HD quality enhancements. That said, some things cannot be fixed with mere graphical makeovers. So if the game really is getting remade , here are some things Capcom should, and should not, do with

_ Resident Evil 4 _ is so narratively inconsequential that Capcom remaking the game before _ Code Veronica _ might be the studio’s way of fixing the franchise’s overall plot. Who’s to say _ Resident Evil 4 _ won’t make its own narrative changes? It’s possible the game won’t flash forward, won’t dissolve Umbrella, and might actually serve as set up for _ Code Veronica

Limiting Leon's mobility andmaking it harder for him to avoid threats forces the player to be much more thoughtful about shot placement, leveraging the game's excellent hit animations. It also forces the player to be smart about positioning and using the environment to their advantage whenever possi

The plot of Resident Evil 4 is structured around rescuing the U.S. President's daughter, Ashley, from an evil cult in rural Spain. As a result, much of the gameplay deals in escorting Ashley through increasingly dangerous environments and rescuing her when she's inevitably captu

Like most Resident Evil games, ammo can be scarce early on. Know what isn’t so scarce? Weapons. Why couldn’t Leon use the various hatchets, Apex Legends pitchforks, scythes, and so forth of his enemies in the origi

A _ Code Veronica _ remake would allow audiences a chance to get to know Chris Redfield and form a deeper attachment to him. It’s arguable _ Resident Evil 7 _ does this to an extent through DLC, but _ Code Veronica _ shows Chris before his life started to truly fall ap

That said, why actually bother? Umbrella’s downfall happens in a spin-off game and not even Capcom was all that interested in telling this story. By _ Code Veronica _ , it’s clear the series wanted to move on from Umbrella. Come _ Resident Evil 5 _ , Wesker’s more or less taken over as the face of the antagonists. Keeping in mind how much extra focus antagonists like Birkin and Nikolai were given in their remakes, it’s perhaps safe to assume that _ RE _ wants a face for their villains, not just a societal concept. It’s a bit disappointing considering how critical _ Resident Evil _ is of big pharma and capitalism, otherw

Link can’t speak, making Zelda the emotional core of a story in desperate need of one. Our protagonist can only stop and stare, providing the occasional nod or grunt to ensure he is with Zelda regardless of whatever circumstances might greet them. Given that so many of Breath of the Wild’s strongest moments are fragmented flashbacks and snapshots of Link’s own memories, it told a wonderfully coherent story of bittersweet heroism. Sacrifices are required to save the world, and Zelda is fully aware of the need to step forward and face the music even if it means giving herself up. She does this, but Link is able to save her, and Breath of the Wild 2 should explore their new lives and the inevitable threat that has the potential to wipe them out once ag
