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
As mentioned earlier, the game can get pretty intense with the number of villagers hounding after Leon. Some areas, like the early village sections, are interesting puzzles. Where is the best place to set up shop in order to take the horde out most effectively? It makes the player really th
By giving Resident Evil 4 ‘s Las Plagas parasites more relevance to the series’ past, it also makes them all the more relevant in moving forward and creating rich storytelling for Resident Evil ‘s future, moving ahead. If the Nemesis parasite was fully or partly modeled after the Las Plagas parasites , we can assume that Umbrella was aware of the existence of the Las Plagas, and could likely had some sort of organizational connection to Resident Evil 4’ s main villa
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
It’s not unlike animation’s seemingly unanimous move toward CGI, leaving 2D behind as a relic of the medium. Disney likely won’t ever make something in the style of The Jungle Book or The Lion King again when Tangled, Moana, and Frozen have such a wide appeal. Anime is huge in its own right but it doesn’t have the same pull in the West as Pixar, Disney, or DreamWorks – all of which have moved toward CGI animation. Indies in gaming hanging onto the old approach is like anime retaining its 2D style. Nintendo taking Zelda back in time would be akin to Disney releasing a new animated film in 2D. It would show that the approach still has a place and Alpha Protocol revival it would pave the way for others to do the same in whatever shape or form that might take. I wasn’t particularly optimistic about this ever being a possibility but now, with Metroid Dread , there’s a glimmer of hope on the hori
Fortunately, if a Resident Evil 4 Remake is in the works, it may be getting a richer storyline, or at least one that is more closely sewn to the overall Resident Evil universe and timeline. PlayStation’s Tim Turi did an interview with Resident Evil 3 ‘s development team , and the Nemesis monster was revealed to have a clear and direct link to the parasitic creatures in Resident Evil
The only problem is that the game’s color palette is very brown. Although the art direction is excellent overall, especially where the game’s dangerous monsters are concerned, the uniqueness of certain settings suffers on account of a lack of variation in the game’s color scheme. This is especially noticeable when compared to the expressive, richly detailed colors of the first three Resident Evil titles. That’s one of the reasons the classic fixed-camera games are worth playing today , so the remake’s producers should take the opportunity to widen the variety of colors used in the g
Are Resident Evil fans ready for a Code Veronica remake? Is it time for Claire Redfield to return to Rockfort Island in search of her brother, Chris? Many die-hard RE fans appear more than ready to dive into this critically-acclaimed cult-classic once more.

One thing even Resident Evil 4 ‘s biggest fans tend to lament is the fact that the game simply isn’t that scary.

Given that there were already some framerate issues with Resident Evil 3 Remake on consoles, the higher number of enemies and action on the screen in Resident Evil 4 may require next-generation console technology to fully bring it to fruition. Resident Evil 4’s tank-like controls certainly have not aged well to most, and are more than in need of updating, which a new engine or the current Resident Evil engine can accommodate fu
A more thickened plot for a Resident Evil 4 Remake , which redefines the history of the Las Plagas parasites with more familiarity and relevance to the T-Virus origins and experimental history, would not only make Resident Evil 4 Remake fit into the timeline better, but it can also strengthen the plot-line thereafter. Resident Evil 4 ‘s Las Plagas parasites have the potential to be the sister-counterpart to the T-Virus, with a history of usage and demand within the same corporation, agenda and lineage of experimental initiatives by Umbre
