Games For Studio Ghibli Fans

In the mid-2000s, everybody and their mothers wanted to add in quick time events. It was supposed to immerse players more. While they still exist today, a lot of companies have learned not to be so strict with prompts meaning that a missed button press or two won’t result in a game o


It would be interesting to have a sort of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes type of release for the remake in order to get players excited for it and to also set up Leon better. Maybe they could even include cut content like the ghost house or the Hook


If the remake of Resident Evil 4 decides to trim the fat in a similar way to 2 and 3, it will lose moments like this. The original is the longest game in the franchise by a significant margin, and this is for good reason. Each major location is like a game in itself, taking time to introduce you to their threats, puzzles, and further intricacies before things inevitably descend into an avalanche of action. You hurl grenades around like other modern entries, but here it feels earned, like you’ve triumphed over unstoppable horrors and can finally take your revenge. The campaign being cut short would rob these moments of their brilliance, and this isn’t how newcomers should experience one of the best survival horror games ever concei


_ Resident Evil 3 _ ’s direct sequel is not _ Resident Evil 4 _ , but _ Code Veronica . CV _ is arguably even the real third entry in the franchise’s overarching narrative, a crucial turning point for the original _ Resident Evil _ games. Capcom skipping _ Code Veronica _ to remake _ Resident Evil 4 _ is a conscious decision, but it’s bound to have consequences on the survival horror ser


Given how uplifting Spiritfarer looks at first glance, it's honestly hard to imagine that this game deals with hard topics like death and mourning. However, viewers of Studio Ghibli will feel right at home with this depressingly charming look at the sadder parts of l

It’s not unlike animation’s seemingly unanimous move toward CGI, leaving 2D behind as a relic of the medium. Disney likely won’t ever make something in the style of The Jungle Book or The Lion King again when Tangled, Moana, and Frozen have such a wide appeal. Anime is huge in its own right but it doesn’t have the same pull in the West as Pixar, Disney, or DreamWorks - all of which have moved toward CGI animation. Indies in gaming hanging onto the old approach is like anime retaining its 2D style. Nintendo taking Zelda back in time would be akin to Disney releasing a new animated film in 2D. It would show that the approach still has a place and it would pave the way for others to do the same in whatever shape or form that might take. I wasn’t particularly optimistic about this ever being a possibility but now, with Metroid Dread , there’s a glimmer of hope on the hori


To better conceptualize this, Resident Evil 4 's Las Plagas parasites, which comprised all the game's enemies and the infected, as far as the original game was concerned, gave no hint that the parasites had any connection or history to Umbrella. Nor did the Los Iluminados terrorist group and its leadership have any link or mention in the Resident Evil timeline previously. Specifically, Adventuregameland.com Los Iluminados had no connection to Umbre


While this entire series has some commonalities with Studio Ghibli's works, certain titles have Ghibli's magic more than others. Those titles are Dominion of the Dark Djinn and Wrath of the White Witch. Those two particular games are worth checking out because their animated sequences were created by Studio Ghi


_ Resident Evil 4 _ ’s story is entertaining, but it’s far from good. _ RE4 _ may have fantastic game design, but its plot did irreversible damage for the series. Leon’s time in Europe amounts to little more than an action movie, with the scares infrequent. Worse, four games of build up are thrown out the window as _ RE4 _ wipes the slate cl


Their movies have inspired other creators, including those who make video games. After all, both anime and video games are part of Japan's major international influence. Video game writers and developers have captured in some of their games the same essence of laid-back fantasy as Ghibli films often have. Some of these games are well-known, while others are hidden ge


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
