It helps that Spiritfarer is an excellent title in its own right and serves as one of the better indie titles anyone can try out. The art style, gameplay, and story all elicit the same feeling as a Studio Ghibli title in the best way possi
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
Most people assume that Studio Ghibli’s movies are mainly for kids and don’t feature any mature themes, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Movies like Grave of the Fireflies prove that the studio doesn’t shy away from tackling more disturbing topics, with this legendary movie being a great example of how fragile human life becomes in the throes of
We only see Princess Zelda fall into a pit in the trailer, presumably descending deeper into the castle’s inner sanctum. Can’t she just climb back out, or is she stuck there until we fish her back out once the final boss is dealt with? I sincerely hope it’s the former, or Nintendo is throwing us a red herring and the true circumstances of the narrative are being cleverly hidden from view. The company has said it’s holding the true title back for Breath of the Wild 2 in fear of spoilers, and the skyward version of Link only ever being framed from the back has convinced me it is another character entir
Their movies have inspired other creators, including those who make video games. After all, both anime and video games are part of Japan’s major international influence. Video game writers and developers have captured in some of their games the same essence of laid-back fantasy as Ghibli films often have. Some of these games are well-known, while others are hidden ge
Spectacle is all well and good, but it’s short-lived, and doesn’t stick in your mind like the haunting corridors of Raccoon City Police Station. I’m not going to remember the Lady Dimitrescu boss battle for years to come, but Leon’s first hesitant steps into Raccoon City are already cemented into my mind. Resident Evil 4 is filled with moments like this. Despite being a rollercoaster ride of gunfights and boss battles, it never fails in making you feel vulnerable. Leon could have a fully upgraded arsenal at his disposal, but not taking his surroundings into account would lead to an untimely deFinal Fantasy 9 ’s Princess Garnet is the closest comparison to Zelda in the gaming world, largely because their circumstances, personality, and overall drive are so similar. Garnet takes a dagger to her hair at a pivotal point in her character arc. Her kingdom is approaching ruin and her mother is gone, so this moment is a reclamation of agency that has long been kept away from her. Gone is the received pronunciation and royal procedures that have long held her back from living a normal, fulfilling life. Travelling with Zidane and company has taught her the importance of this heritage while simultaneously inspiring her to walk away from it. However, blood remains thicker than water, so returning to the city that helped shape her only to solemnly leave it behind is poetic.
The biggest reveal _ Resident Evil 4 _ makes is that Umbrella dissolved following the events of _ Code Veronica _ . This incident wasn’t put into detail until _ Umbrella Chronicles _ released for the Wii, darth Vader comic showdown but a remake of _ Code Veronica _ could make it so Umbrella’s downfall actually has some set
_ Resident Evil 4 _ ’s story is entertaining, but it’s far from good. _ RE4 _ may have fantastic game design, but its plot did irreversible damage for the series. Leon’s time in Europe amounts to little more than an action movie, with the scares infrequent. Worse, four games of build up are thrown out the window as _ RE4 _ wipes the slate cl
This train of thought originates from the remake of Resident Evil 3, which was a painfully underwhelming successor to the phenomenal remake of Resident Evil 2. The latter was one of Capcom’s best games in years, ushering in a new era of survival horror brilliance that I was confident it would build upon. With the arrival of Resident Evil 3 and Village, it seems it is opting for an action-oriented approach that won’t risk alienating those who aren’t willing to negotiate with horror. It’s the smart move, but creatively, it feels like a hollow one. Resident Evil is at its weakest when the action ramps up, giving way to adequate gunplay instead of allowing its atmosphere and monsters to do the heavy lift
Whether it’s Link, Zelda, or something completely out of left field like Waluigi – I just hope the Princess isn’t left to gather dust as a prisoner beneath Hyrule Castle. As I mentioned earlier, Breath of the Wild’s timeline now exists in the present, offering a level of dramatic agency that simply isn’t possible with flashbacks. Our emotions will react to an ongoing story we’re an integral part of, instead of pondering on flashbacks whose participants have long since met their end. Princess Zelda is the strongest character of the whole lot, and pushing her aside purely so Link has a passive damsel to save is woefully archaic writing this series could do without. Who knows, I still have a feeling she’ll be playable. Or there will be time travel. Screw it – do whatever you want, Ninte
