For RE4 , even though the graphics aren’t as sharp as today’s, it still relatively holds up. The characters are easy to make out, and the settings aren’t terrible. It also just received a 2016 HD remaster. Does this game really need the pol
Let’s just be real here. While the RE2 and RE3 remakes are well-done and are an improvement on the originals, one of the reasons they are highly regarded does have to do with nostalgia. The feeling you get when you play a game from long ago can make you have strong feelings for
However, it looks like this game franchise could be a victim of attrition and “falling interest.” It’s the same reason why the movie sequel always seems not to do as well. If the numbers are low for RE3 , the chances are high that the same will happen to an RE4 rem
GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, which released for various platforms such as the PlayStation 3, is as close as we’ve gotten to a GoldenEye 007 remake. Although it did well with critics, it wasn’t the remake we anticipated. Here’s hoping they make another attempt at remaking GoldenEye
The game is also bursting with depth in every aspect of its design as a video game. From the core shooting mechanic to challenging dungeons and puzzles, incremental but satisfying weapon progression, heavily varied environment design, a well-balanced rising difficulty, and even some more miniscule details bring this game to life greater than many at the time. And it didn’t have to be a 40-60 hours long experience to feel like players got their money’s worth. Very few games felt like such a complete package as Resident Evil 4 did; Resident Evil 4 pioneered a lot for modern video games , not just the series its
Following Sony’s most recent State of Play event, it’s finally official that Resident Evil 3 will be seeing a modern reimagining in early April next year. The iconic game has been the only thing on the minds of franchise veterans since the rampant success of the Resident Evil 2 remake back in February, and while many forecasted that the game would be a major ways off, it turns out Capcom has its finger on the pulse when delivering the next big Resident Evil experie
Resident Evil 4 represents a completely different challenge compared to the recently released remakes. Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 both initially came out on the first PlayStation console way back in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Sony’s first console didn’t have the luxury of rendering highly complex character models or 3D environments, storing larger amounts of data, and any other modern conveniences games from the mid-to-late 2000s onward have. Resident Evil 4 came out for the GameCube in 2005, and though it wasn’t necessarily the first fully dimensional Resident Evil game, it was the first to take advantage of next-generation hardware to craft a highly detailed wo
The Big N was unable to secure the necessary licensing rights for Popeye in time, so Miyamoto set to work on a game that mirrored the Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Bluto dynamic from the comic strips. Miyamoto ultimately ended up replacing them with Mario, Pauline, and Donkey Kong, respectiv
For Resident Evil 2 and 3 , you are put right in the middle of the corruption of Racoon City and the Umbrella Corporation. They haven’t done right by their people, and Leon (in Resident Evil 2 ) and Jill ( Resident Evil 3 ) are there to get to the bottom of what’s going
It’s certainly a concern, particularly when such care seems to be going towards the remakes and side projects that the company has in store. After all, Capcom has confirmed that fan feedback for Resident Evil 6 is helping to improve the development of the Resident Evil 2 remake . Although that’s certainly a positive sign for the remake, given the ignominious reception that Resident Evil 6 received, one may wonder why that feedback is not being used for an entirely new ti
The objective of Super Mario 64 is to rescue Princess Peach from the malevolent Bowser. Mario must search far and wide and unlock the hidden power of the castle. Why stop at doing a simple remake? Give the game online co-op and a plethora of new zelda Notes features that improve Super Mario
The underwater city of Rapture is such an iconic setting that it’s hard to imagine BioShock being set anywhere else. However, original plans for the game had it set on a space station infested with mutated monsters, with players sent to rescue someone from a c
If the rumors are true, we could be seeing an RE8 game —and follow-up to RE7 —in 2021. This is earlier than what was initially predicted or discussed. Considering that the new consoles are set to hit next year as well, if RE4 was to come out for those systems as well, then it could take attention away from Capcom’s newest Resident Evil stor
Even when the dust had settled, however, Street Fighter 5 drew plenty of well-aimed criticism for the content on show. The title’s story mode proved to be extremely short, with even Capcom itself admitting that it could be beaten easily within 1-2 hours . Fans of the franchise immediately took the story mode to task, with one user even able to get his 6-month old baby to beat the ga
