So after searching for some inspiration images, this is basically what I had in mind when I envisioned the Lake Victory Resort in my head. Large and rustic with multiple buildings encompassing almost a miniature town in itself, which would make for a fantastic game world with lots of puzzles and...

I certainly hope not, but it depends on the scale of the "world". Semi-open world à la the original RE3? Hell yes. Large empty open world with filler missions? Nope.

I tried giving Ghost of Tsushima a chance a few weeks ago, but I lost interest very quickly because of how ridiculously linear the game is. After hearing so many good things about this game I was surprised by its childish tendency to "hold your hand" in almost every situation and give little...

I watched Dune Part Two a couple of weeks ago and it was a delight to say the least. While I enjoyed the first film, it didn't ignite any larger form of obsession with the Dune universe, but this one definitely made me an instant fan. So much that I gave in and bought the actual novel (hardcover...

The new artwork for the next Tomb Raider game is exactly what we were all afraid of. Yup, they've finally decided to give Lara Croft the infamous "dude"-face. It really doesn't matter that she's wearing a more classic outfit either, since they've decided to make her stubby (possibly as a...

Speculation can drive you crazy and lead to shättered expectations, and I feel I've become much more cynical since my late 30's. At this point I'd say RE9 and RE5 remake are the only two projects we can safely count on being worked on. Best case scenario is they're not just working on a Code...

Can you imagine Nemesis in the original RE3 grabbing Brad Vickers outside the RPD, only to throw him away like a dumb idiot? Yeah, that's just the start of problems when it comes to remake Nemesis. Overly cinematic intro aside, the intro would've been more acceptable if Nemesis didn't actually...

I thought I'd posted in this thread before; apparently I didn't which is surprising considering my wrath upon this game in the past. There are honestly so many things that are needed to fix the RE3 remake. I stand by my previous statement that the only redeeming qualities about this game are its...

I'm intrigued by the idea of having two criminal protagonists that share a romantic bond, not only is it a fresh thing in the GTA franchise but a concept that's been proven to work very well in storytelling all across the board. I'm looking at Bonnie and Clyde, Thelma & Louise, and True Romance...

Been having a relapse on jazz recently.

I forgot that he used to look younger. Cillian is one of those few human beings who don't seem to age, at least not in the same pace as most of us. Oppenheimer for the win though.

Ada's character has always been a mess in terms of allegiances and motivations, so I didn't expect any of those to be fully explained in this one either. It's interesting however to hear some of your perspectives on the matter, such as Ada being more closely affiliated to Wesker actually taking...

I know the concept isn't new, you can go all the way back to the 80's and find movies like Dreamscape from 1984 that explores the concept of entering the mind of others. The point is how to take a concept, explore it further and make it interesting which I think the first Evil Within game...

Same reason he was on Rockfort Island in Code Veronica. He had mercenaries working for him there as well who attacked the island doing his "dirty work" so to speak, while he operated mostly behind his computer. He only revealed himself and got into the action when absolutely needed. Wesker is a...

The issue was never that they dropped Umbrella from the story, but rather that Umbrella's downfall occurred off-screen. Another problematic aspect of the post-Umbrella titles was that every single one featured a new antagonistic organization instead of trying to tye the games together. RE4, RE5...
