State of Play revealed absolutely nothing. Oh well.

No, I think what they did was the best possible decision given the available tools and direction. If anything, I'd rather say that they missed an opportunity to make the game even more grounded and thereby more connected to the first three games in terms of atmosphere and realism. For example...

I must have missed this. Is the game's development official outside of rumors linked to inside sources?

After so many years of having continuous releases for Resident Evil games, we have reached a strange point in time - The so-called mysterious silence, where we are currently experiencing the longest absense of both released games and announcements. We have absolutely nothing, nada. Let's break...

I'm glad you like it. Fun fact though; you don't actually need to fire any shots at Pyramid Head at all, since the fight is more about accepting fate. You can simply run around in circles for 5-10 minutes and eventually he will leave. Those sort of details are what distinguishes Silent Hill from...

I actually completed Alan Wake II just one day before the release of Silent Hill 2 remake. For me personally, it was a mixed bag, but I think I set the bar too high after watching all those amazing teaser trailers. While the art direction is beautiful and the story is quite compelling, the way...

Yes. You know that feeling when you’re not at home, and you just can’t wait until you get home and can play again? That’s how I feel now, and it’s been ages since I felt that way for a video game.

The Silent Hill 2 remake is not just good, it’s really damn good. I’m only less than halfway through at the moment, but there’s not been a single big complaint so far. I don’t know how they did it, but Bloober Team proved everyone wrong. They successfully made a modern remake of SH2 that both...

Yes and no. The first Silent Hill sold really well in Japan, but the second one did not. The second one however did really well overseas, and this trend continued for every game. In Japan, the series has never been that popular (besides the first game which was a huge hit), so for that reason it...

Too bad this game never came into fruition. My thoughts on Rebecca has actually improved a bit throughout the years, especially after seeing her portrayal in Death Island.

It's actually pretty impressive that a 25 year old game managed to surprise players with different outcomes and actions the way RE3 did. Many AAA games of today can't even do that since they're too stuck up on deciding what's best for YOU to experience instead of you deciding for yourself.

The only one I haven't played in that list is RE6, but considering what I've seen and been told about it I don't think I'm missing out on anything. The worst one is Revelations 1, by FAR. Also, why aren't 7 and Village selectable?

I quite like the Redfield bloodline series of videos, they're pretty funny. This is the best one IMO:

Perfect example of "I know I'm wrong but I don't like being told I'm wrong so I'll keep debating for the sake of debating and come up with pretentious illogical nonsense that makes it look like I'm smart and have the upper hand". At this point though, you have gone so far that it basically...

No remake is a one on one carbon copy of the original. That's what remasters are for. Outside of video games, remakes have been a staple of the entertainment industry for as long as there has been one. If writers, artists, directors and developers were not allowed to do remakes, we would never...
