![]() ![]() I think the wildly varying opinions on the game (if you ignore the haters) is the difference between some people enjoying the story enough that they don’t care that you have no effect on it and others who assume, not unreasonably that you expect interactive entertainment to be… interactive. ![]() ![]() Resident Evil 2 did always seem like a minor miracle.Īnother interest Reader’s Feature about The Last Of Us Part 2 at the weekend. I suppose the positive thing is to be glad they’ve managed it as much as they have. I sound negative but I do love the series, it’s just unfortunate that in order to match modern presentation standards requires such a huge budget that it’s clearly very difficult for Capcom to justify doing that for a horror game. Since the next one is supposed to be the end of the trilogy that may stay in the Village action style but I look forward to Resident Evil being another ‘back to its roots’ game, before Capcom get ideas above their station again after that. The description of what is essentially the ‘Capcom cycle’, where they try to turn it into an action game then have to do a soft reboot and turn it back again is, I think, sadly accurate. It’s certainly not a survival horror in any real sense and, as the feature points, out it was never really supposed to be. Like some sort of computer algorithm spat out the game design, while the only bit that was made by a human was Donna Beneviento’s house. The game’s okay, better than stinkers like 5, 6, and 3’s remake, but it’s painfully unexciting and predictable. I completely agree with Sparky’s Resident Evil Village feature at the weekend. I’d love to see it though, not just because of how I feel about the original game but if Elden Ring is open world and quite different to Dark Souls then Bloodborne 2 would be a useful way to continue a more traditional style of Soulsborne. I’ve heard fans theorise that Sony is planning a sequel, since they’ve said they’ve got a bunch of unannounced games on the way, but that is the closest anything comes to any kind of official hint. ![]()
