This is Resident Evil 4 feeling and looking every bit the thoroughly modern action masterpiece without losing the essence of what made it so very special in the first place. There's lots of stuff we're not allowed to talk about in detail, loads of things we wouldn't want to spoil anyway - go into this one as unsullied as possible for maximum effect, kids - but the revamping of the core combat, reshuffling of aspects of the narrative, retooling of boss encounters, and some meaningful expansions to level design make for an experience that's managed to capture the magic of the original whilst bringing it all bang up to date. There's no point beating around the bush here, really, Resident Evil 4 Remake is an absolute banger, as perfect a reworking as we could have ever hoped for, and a game that sees the king of action games retake its throne. Thankfully we needn't have worried in the slightest. What if this opening sequence didn't play out in a satisfying manner, if it didn't sit quite right, if they'd ruined the flow or it didn't feel like it should? YouTube is an app, a website, and a cultural phenomenon.How many times have you blasted your way this one already? How many re-releases, official HD revamps and exhaustive community remasters have seen you click the safety off that Silver Ghost and jump back into action against Osmund Saddler's minions? We've personally lost count in all honesty and, after experiencing it in glorious VR recently (easily our favourite way to play the original cut) we thought we'd most likely seen it at its very best already.Īpproaching Resident Evil Remake, then, this ground-up reimagining that seeks to work a similar level of magic as 2019's glorious Resident Evil 2 revamp, the main problem, the biggest worry we've had, is how on earth is Capcom going to take something so beloved, so influential, so widely regarded as pretty much perfect, and improve it in any particularly meaningful way? Modern graphics are great, of course they are, fresher controls are always welcome, but what are you going to do to the rhythm and flow of something that already feels so finely-tuned in order to improve or even match it? We were genuinely a little nervous booting this one up for the very first time, knowing how it kicks off, that classic village assault that in 2005 so violently announced the game's new direction and flat-out action intentions. It’s also a vast and barely-explored wilderness full of content that ranges from dynamic to dire. Whatever your interests are, there’s probably at least one channel out there for you. Still, managing to dig out the channels that cater to your own SFF needs can be a bit like panning for gold in the sea. (If the sea was full of flying fish that kept on jumping in your face with unskippable adverts painted on their scaly bodies and passing sailors trying to give you beauty tips.) So let me help you out by drawing your attention to some of the best channels and YouTubers I’ve discovered over the years.ĭisclaimer. This article isn’t sponsored by YouTube, Google, or any of the featured channels in any way. YouTube is not a perfect platform, as many YouTubers will tell you. Other platforms such as Twitch or iTunes are available I just don’t know them as well as I do YouTube. Other channels are available as well, these are just the ones I like enough to geek out over in a blog article. This month’s article is the first part of a massive roundup of RPG Let’s Plays. In case you’re new to either of these things: RPGsare roleplaying games (no, not THAT kind of roleplay). Games where you take on the role of a character in pretty much any world or setting you can imagine. Most have rules for taking damage, increasing your character’s power or skills, and completing any number of tasks or challenges. Many RPGs are computer games but we’re going to be talking about tabletop or pen and paper RPGs in this article: games that happen around a table and rely on writing things down, rolling dice, and acting out scenes. Dungeons and Dragons is the most famous example of this type of game. Let’s Plays are videos where one or more people record themselves playing a game and post it online. The overwhelming majority of Let’s Plays are recordings of computer and video games. But the online tabletop RPG community have embraced them too. The members of a particular RPG Let’s Play group are often scattered around a particular country or even the world and usually communicate through voice or video chat.
