Breath Of The Wild 2 Shouldn’t Fix Its Weirder Design Decisions

Breath Of The Wild 2 Shouldn’t Fix Its Weirder Design Decisions

In Resident Evil 4 , Albert Wesker dispatches both Ada Wong, and the mostly forgettable Krauser to infiltrate the Los Iluminados, to gain a sample of a Dominant Las Plagas parasite. Overall, however, Resident Evil 4 's plot, main villains and its Las Plagas monstrosities remain a confusing detail to the story and overall universe, given their mysterious autonomy from the series, and unclear orig

Breath of the Wild is so special because every moment feels like a discovery you made on your own terms. A mixture of basic yet impactful abilities like stopping time and lifting metal objects allows you to play with the game’s definition of physics in ways that are still being discovered to this day. You can build a chain of metal weapons and charge them with lightning to activate a distant switch instead of following the traditional solution, showing that the game’s systems are built to be toyed with and taken advantage of in ways that have near limitless potential. Nobody will play Breath of the Wild in the same way, and given the open world genre largely remains defined by chasing down icons and completing repetitive objectives, this is a breath of fresh air that remains unmatched. You could argue "it doesn’t feel like Zelda" because its dungeon design abandons tradition, but the rewarding discoveries of Breath of the Wild are intentionally spread throughout the entirety of Hyrule.

There are a few things that always come up when you talk to someone about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild . Weapon degradation is one of the defining discourses around the game, with fans either despising the fact your equipment bursts into nothing after a handful of strikes or adoring how it forces you to think outside the box and constantly adapt your strategy to a changing inventory.

Purchasing new weapons and upgrades added a huge degree of personalization over a playthrough. Since everyone has their own opinions regarding what the best weapons in the game are , the merchant allows players to customize their weapons to suit their gaming experience. The merchant is such an essential part of why Resident Evil 4 is so enjoyable that he absolutely must make a comeback in the rem

As previously stated, remastered games are also quite profitable much like remakes. Resident Evil 4 has been ported and remastered to multiple different consoles, past and current gen. And this isn't because re-releasing games is a hobby for Capcom. One of the more recent RE4 remasters, released for the PS4 and Xbox One in 2016, sold 1.6 million un

There’s just no getting around the fact that _ Resident Evil 4 _ does not need a remake while _ Code Veronica _ desperately does. _ CV _ is by no means a bad game, but it loses much of the replay value defined by the originals. Its long length also means that the campaign doesn’t move at as brisk a p

Couple in character switching between Chris & Claire and multiple settings with their own puzzles (that often can’t be tackled in any order,) getting through _ CV _ can be a challenge– especially thanks to the harder difficulty curve. A remake could fix _ Code Veronica _ ’s design issues and m

_ Resident Evil 3 _ ’s direct sequel is not _ Resident Evil 4 _ , but _ Code Veronica . CV _ is arguably even the real third entry in the franchise’s overarching narrative, a crucial turning point for the original _ Resident Evil _ games. Capcom skipping _ Code Veronica _ to remake _ Resident Evil 4 _ is a conscious decision, but it’s bound to have consequences on the survival horror ser

This latest revelation redefines the backbone of Umbrella's history of experiments by making the T-Virus, found in West Africa, Respawn Entertainment and the Las Plagas parasite, found in Spain, a culminating factor. For example, the G-Virus , and everything that was created from its lineage, would not have been made possible without the Las Plagas virus, since it was partially created through an accidental fusion of the T-Virus and the Nemesis Parasite that was experimented on Umbrella's test subject, Lisa Tre

If Resident Evil fans want to play Code Veronica so badly, they can still play the HD remaster. This 2011 release, although not visually perfect, is still a very fun game to play. Besides, the graphics aren't that outdated and still look quite pretty. The old-school vibe of fixed camera angles really brings back feelings of nostalgia that might be killed off in a rem

RE3 was originally designed as a spin-off , side-story, so it was never meant to be that big of a game. And despite Code Veronica not being a numbered title, it was given much more detail than RE3 . And as previously stated, Code Veronica appears more like a sequel to RE2 than the most recent remake. Simply put, RE fans deserve a bigger survival horror title to stink their teeth into and a Code Veronica remake would be the right cho

Resident Evil 4 Remake could even help tie-in the storyline to Resident Evil 5 much better in moving the timeline forward, and in hopefully creating more relevance and history between the T-Virus and Las Plagas parasite, and much of what has transpired in the Resident Evil plot since then. Resident Evil 5 's storyline also stood out as slightly odd in its own way, given that its plot focuses on the origins of the T-Virus, or Progenitor plant which it came from, in West Africa where it was originally discovered, but its inclusion in the game is mini
