Suffice to say, Resident Evil 4 has definitely shown its age. Given that Resident Evil 4 was both a unique detour for the Resident Evil series, as well as one of the best overall action games of that era, a Resident Evil 4 Remake certainly has some big shoes to fill if it is to ignite the necessary nostalgia, while also creating something refreshingly

While there are a lot of questions that need to be answered, overall, it does not require Capcom to drastically change Resident Evil 4's storyline if a Remake is being produced. If anything, it allows Capcom to keep everything intact that was originally included in the Resident Evil 4 storyline and merely add more depth to the story already in place. Even before Capcom made these revelations about the Nemesis' link to Resident Evil 4 , there were still hardcore fans out there who speculated the possibility that the Nemesis parasite could be linked to the Las Plagas parasites in Resident Evil 4 , given the rather shallow amount of information available on the background of the Nemesis paras

Don’t get me wrong, Leon in Resident Evil 4 isn’t to be trifled with, but even as the game enters its final act, Capcom keeps finding new horrors to surprise you with. Upon entering Umbrella’s labs, we stumble upon the Regenedors for the first time. These horrific, grey-skinned beasts are initially unstoppable, marching slowly toward you as otherworldly growls leave their infected lips. The only option is to run, or open fire and pray there is some way to bring this thing down. There isn’t, not until you come across the thermal scope and uncover the secret behind its impossible power. Scares force you to think smartly and find immediate solutions, instead of pulling out your shotgun and blowing your problems a

With Resident Evil Village opting to retread this sacred ground and falling short in the process, I’m worried that a full remake might fall to the same fate, but considering the trend of Resident Evil remakes, I imagine it’s going to happen whether we like it or not. Now don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to see what it does with Leon’s journey on the new, more powerful consoles, but I also don’t want to come away from it feeling underwhelmed, to feel that perhaps the past should have been left exactly where it belongs. Only time will tell, but right now, I remain unconvin

If Resident Evil 4 Remake follows the tradition of its original counterpart, Resident Evil 4 would certainly be more action-oriented than the Resident Evil 2 and even Resident Evil Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC remake's, the latter of which took on a more action-oriented approach than the for

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

Final 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.

If she gets hit, she is pretty much dead meaning that players need to waste valuable healing items on her due to bad AI’s tactics. There’s got to be a better way to implement her in the remake like negating damage like Ellie in The Last 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
