For example, it has been speculated that spiders were cut from both games because Capcom wanted the series to take on a more realistic approach. If being more realistic is the trajectory Capcom wants to maintain in developing more Resident Evil remakes, including its fourth game, there are some obvious stand-out features in Resident Evil 4 which defied the franchise's more realistic traditions previously, and were more akin to third-person action games at the t<br><br> <br>Next to major first-party titles like Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Horizon: Forbidden West , one of the biggest new game announcements from the PlayStation 5 gameplay event was the reveal of Resident Evil 8: Village . Just like Resident Evil 3 Remake before it, Resident Evil 8 rumors have been floating around online for the majority of the year, revealing a ton of new aspects about the game from its medieval castle setting to the introduction of werewolves, and a redesigned Chris Redfi<br><br> <br>It all depends on whether Capcom decides to double-down on making Resident Evil 4 Remake a more pure action-game in following on the elements that made the original unique to the series, or whether Capcom wants to create a more hybrid experience between action and realistic survival horror. The hybrid experience may be the more likely trajectory, given that in the past, technology made it difficult to capture the realism and fast-paced action-oriented experience in <br><br>However, I think the first game was a stark indicator that this isn’t a company playing by the rules anymore. Knowing this, I’m hopeful Breath of the Wild 2 will be the most narrative-heavy Zelda game we’ve ever seen, perhaps even superseding Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess with the amount of dialogue it’s willing to subject us to. As long as it’s in service of a wonderful story, I’m more than happy to sit back and sink in.<br><br> <br>If Zelda goes back to 2D, it stands alongside the indie scene. It showcases that these older takes shouldn’t be abandoned due to their age. Many other games are doing this already, but none have the clout of Zelda. Going back to 2D with its next main entry - not a remake, remaster, or spin-off - would set a major precedent: not every new triple-A title needs to splash out to make a big blockbuster. It could be a hybrid like Octopath Traveler with its 2D sprites on top of its paper-like background, or it could go the full mile and be completely 2D. Whatever it does, going back would be refreshing for gaming and it could pave the way for other studios to do similar things with their own catal<br><br>I’m worried that Breath of the Wild 2 likely won’t heed this advice, with Zelda being yeeted into a hole in the latest trailer and <a href="https://Adventuregameland.com/posts/galactic-shadows-respawn-s-struggle-amidst-ea-s-industry-tempest">read</a>; seemingly imprisoned as Link, Ganon, or whoever we end up playing as is tasked with saving her and freeing the realm. It’s far too early to draw conclusions about exactly how BOTW2 will play out, but it’s easy to assume that Nintendo will abide by series conventions and go for something safe.<br><br>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.<br><br>Breath of the Wild is so special because every moment feels like a discovery you made on your own terms. A mixture of basic yet impactful abilities like stopping time and lifting metal objects allows you to play with the game’s definition of physics in ways that are still being discovered to this day. You can build a chain of metal weapons and charge them with lightning to activate a distant switch instead of following the traditional solution, showing that the game’s systems are built to be toyed with and taken advantage of in ways that have near limitless potential. Nobody will play Breath of the Wild in the same way, and given the open world genre largely remains defined by chasing down icons and completing repetitive objectives, this is a breath of fresh air that remains unmatched. You could argue "it doesn’t feel like Zelda" because its dungeon design abandons tradition, but the rewarding discoveries of Breath of the Wild are intentionally spread throughout the entirety of Hyrule.<br>
