By all measures, Resident Evil 4 was a very good-looking game for its time. Some incredible animations and advanced textures have helped it hold up graphically in the years since its release, and it's still easy to see why the game was so technically impressive to players in 2

Updating Code Veronica per modern standards would likely take away much of its charm, fixed camera angles and tank controls included. The magic of fixed camera angles in the PS1 games really played into the survival horror genre, providing numerous jump scares while adding a deeper level of tension knowing that an unseen enemy could be lurking around any corner. Recent RE remakes did away with these features that enhanced the spooky atmosphere of the original ga

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

Playable Zelda likely isn’t coming in Breath of the Wild 2. I’ve made my peace with that eventuality, even if it could help push the series forward in some truly meaningful ways. When all is said and done, Link is the hero of this story - the Hero of Time if you haven’t heard - and his presence is more than enough to carry an open world adventure we’ll spend hours being enamoured with when it arrives in 2022. Another mystery protagonist could be waiting in the wings, but whether they are related to Zelda remains to be s

Resident Evil 8 new UI is said to resemble both Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 4 , and the sequel would feature a new currency system, a first-person perspective, and multiple returning characters including Ethan, Mia, and Chris Redfield. While a few of the details are yet to be properly explained or elaborated on by Capcom, so far, all of the early rumors for Resident Evil: Village have been spot on. Additional rumors have also expanded on a new playable character called Emily that aids Ethan while searching for her missing father, the use of a flashlight (seen at the beginning of the trailer), large outdoor areas, and three new villains known as Alan R., Natalia, and the return of Alex Wesker from Resident Evil: Revelations

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 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

Like the majority of Breath of the Wild’s design ethos, fashion is always something dictated by the player. Much like Dark Souls, I overlooked stats and buffs in favour of how fabulous something looks, preferring to look amazing as opposed to being a giant chunk of metal who walked with the pace of a snail being drenched in salt. Once I donned the Gerudo gear in the sunny desert sands, I seldom took it off, opting to take on the Divine Beasts in such an outfit because Link looked cute and wasn’t afraid to express an aesthetic that went against the generic definition of masculin

_ Code Veronica _ , on the other hand, builds up on plot threads established by the original trilogy in order to tell a story that was meant to set-up a final confrontation with Umbrella. While Chris and Claire don’t have much in the way of character arcs, they contrast nicely with the main villains, leading to surprisingly poignant classist them

Announced for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC, Resident Evil: Village is a next-generation exclusive and will launch in 2021. The game will be a direct sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and follows returning protagonist Ethan Winters as he's thrust into a brand new nightmare a few years after Ethan and Mia were rescued from the Baker family by Chris Redfield and Blue Umbrella . Longtime series protagonist Chris Redfield will also return for Resident Evil: Village , teased to be playing a potential villain role and sets off a new chain of events that land darth vader comic showdown Ethan in a mysterious medieval village somewhere in Eur

Resident Evil: Village is being developed using Capcom's famous RE Engine ( Resident Evil 7 , Resident Evil 3 Remake , Devil May Cry 5 ) and will see the return of the first-person perspective that was introduced in RE7, and will have no loading times thanks to the new hardware. Based on the RE8 announcement trailer , the next-gen sequel will feature new types of enemies including werewolf-like beasts, a mysterious village cult, and witches, who are shown controlling a swarm of bugs and draining blood from Ethan. RE8 will also have a revamped inventory system that plays into the game's larger focus on action - although we don't know if that will be more in line with Resident Evil 3 action or the balanced approach of Resident Evi
