Breath Of The Wild Is Great, But Zelda Needs To Go Back To Its 2D Roots

Specifically, it was explained that the Nemesis gained the new ability to infect zombies with its parasites in the Resident Evil 3 Remake because of its biological or engineered link to the Ganado monsters in Resident Evil 4 , which gives it the ability to do so. This revelation poses many implications for Resident Evil 4 Remake 's plot , and especially the series as a wh

Undertale is an indie gem that took the world by storm, and it's easy to see why people wanted more from its brilliant developer, Toby Fox. He decided to drip-feed fans with content for a sequel that was split into different chapt

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 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

It could be that I’m worrying over nothing, and Capcom plans to do Resident Evil 4 all the justice in the world, but many of the habits it has formed and repeated over the last generation have me thinking otherwise. I hope I’m proven wrong, since I’m still so excited for such a reboot, but not if it does a disservice to what came before

The last 2D Zelda was released in 2004 - The Minish Cap . It was followed by Twilight Princess , Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword , A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes, and Breath of the Wild. Now, we have a sequel to the latter on the way. 2D Zelda seems to have died out, but that’s because 2D as a whole has seemingly been tossed to the wayside. Even now, remakes of 2D games opt to 3Dize them (if that isn’t a term, it is now). When I say that underrated Nintendo Heroes should release another 2D game, I’m not talking about a remaster or remake or even the style of the 2D games but in 3D a la Link’s Awakening for the Switch. I’m talking flat, 2-dimensional sprites - the whole kaboo

For example, the mysterious Weapons Merchant in Resident Evil 4 , who happens to pop up at various intervals in Resident Evil 4 to help the player buy, sell and upgrade equipment, just seems out of place in Resident Evil's more realistic oracle. Whether the merchant and currency system will be in a Resident Evil 4 Remake will be an interesting beacon point to keep an eye on over the direction of Resident Evil 4 Rema

Fans of Ghibli's darker content will love what Omori brings to the table. This psychological horror RPG throws players for a loop, lulling them into a false sense of security over and over again before scaring them out of their wits. The mystery that plays out in the background is a tantalizing one and will shock players to their very core when they learn about the dark and disturbing truth at the heart of this video g

Also, given recent revelations from Capcom's Resident Evil 3 design team , the Nemesis villain has been confirmed to have some degree of relation to the Las Plagas parasites in Resident Evil 4 , which mutated nearby villagers and comprised the majority of the game's monstrosit

A remake of Resident Evil 4 feels very different now I’ve played through the entirety of Resident Evil Village . The first-person sequel is essentially a modern successor to the survival-horror masterpiece, adapting many of its ideas and mechanics for a new audience. It’s a campy, overblown adventure filled with over-the-top villains and nonsensical plot developments that ape the series’ finest hour, even if it sacrifices many of its own ideas in the process. Now, unless this rumoured remake completely overhauls the original vision, I can’t help but think it might end up feeling obsol

Regardless of which direction Capcom chooses in its design trajectory for a possible Resident Evil 4 Remake , it will certainly have much to live up to, given Resident Evil 4 is considered among the best the Resident Evil series has to offer, which is no small feat. Simply re-envisioning Resident Evil 4 or upgrading its core hallmarks along the framework of Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake will not be enough. Given what Resident Evil 4 accomplished and was remembered for originally, Capcom will either need to set the bar for action gaming, set a new trajectory for survival horror, or both, depending on its chosen direct

It would be impossible to talk about indie games without mentioning one of the biggest titles that fans still can't get enough of to this day. Undertale is an amazing title full to the brim with innovative combat and endearing charact
