Breath Of The Wild 2 Should Do Away With Flashback Storytelling

Princess Zelda is busy holding back Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle, locked in a state of immortality as she tries her best to save the land from ruin. You can either embark on a journey to recruit allies and reclaim the Divine Beasts or simply dick around for hundreds of hours. Ultimately, it’s up to you, and thus any sense of urgency tied to the plot is lost. Player agency is the most important thing here, so for better or worse, the story takes a backseat until you’re ready to tackle it. A number of main characters like Sidon, Riju, and Purah can be found across the game’s major cities, but they’re mostly passive. They’ll initiate cutscenes and dialogue to push the plot forward once you engage with them, but up to that point, they just sort of exist, rarely influencing the world until you decide to acknowledge they even exist.


That said, why actually bother? Umbrella’s downfall happens in a spin-off game and not even Capcom was all that interested in telling this story. By _ Code Veronica _ , it’s clear the series wanted to move on from Umbrella. Come _ Resident Evil 5 _ , Wesker’s more or less taken over as the face of the antagonists. Keeping in mind how much extra focus antagonists like Birkin and Nikolai were given in their remakes, it’s perhaps safe to assume that _ RE _ wants a face for their villains, not just a societal concept. It’s a bit disappointing considering how critical _ Resident Evil _ is of big pharma and capitalism, otherw


The Nemesis creature in Resident Evil 3 could also help answer particular questions that come to fruition following Capcom's revelations. Fans will likely want to know how Umbrella knew about or discovered the existence of the Las Plagas parasites in the cave in Spain, which they used to help create the Nemesis, as it is now revealed. We may find more clues in a possible Resident Evil 4 Remake pertaining to the Nemesis project's origins and possibly draw the link between Umbrella and the Las Plagas parasi

The Nintendo company is continually pushing innovation. The graphics aren't as good on paper as gaming juggernauts like Xbox and PlayStation, yet polished art design makes these games relevant. The Nintendo Switch has accumulated numerous first-party games since its 2017 launch, some of which rank among the publisher's greatest-ever releases. What are the best first-party Switch gam


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


This train Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree 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


Bowser's Fury takes a page from Super Mario Odyssey , dropping the plumber in a large open space filled with things to collect and challenges to compete. In terms of gameplay, it might just be the most unrestricted in the franchise, although Bowser does show up frequently to distract Ma


Leon is once again part of the mainstream as far as video game characters are concerned, with his appearance in _ Resident Evil 2 _ doing wonders for his personality– even giving him some semblance of an arc. Following Leon into the events of _ Resident Evil 4 _ now that the Raccoon City Outbreak is over does make a degree of sense. But so does following Claire into _ CV

Once again, Mario's brother finds himself exploring a spooky hotel filled with Boos and terrors waiting around every corner. While not as creepy as the GameCube classic, Luigi's Mansion 3 is creative, charming, and gorge


Square's Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars introduced Nintendo's icon to the world of role-playing games, a decision that resulted in several great spiritual successors. Despite coming out in 1996, the SNES classic holds up pretty well thanks to its clever writing and simple but enjoyable combat; however, anyone craving a modern iteration that offers (slightly) more than just a fresh coat of paint should check out the Switch rem
