Games For Studio Ghibli Fans

With the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Capcom has the potential to make a REmake more powerful than any game before it. Even if RE4 gets the next gen treatment first, Code Veronica should be next in line for a full-fledged remake. Imagine your journey through Rockfort Island and Antarctica with breath-taking 8K visu


Resident Evil 4 was a major departure from the rest of the series when it was first released. While there first three games in the series were methodical, strategic survival horror experiences, Resident Evil 4 was an intense action shooter first and foremost. While there was some doubt about fans' willingness to accept this new creative decision, Resident Evil 4 achieved the improbable by being so outrageously good that players couldn't help but feel excited about the new direction the series was tak


It helps that Spiritfarer is an excellent title in its own right and serves as one of the better indie titles anyone can try out. The art style, gameplay, and story all elicit the same feeling as a Studio Ghibli title in the best way possi


The classic approaches weren’t bad or archaic. It’s a common misconception. They often had janky controls, poor accessibility, or even overly difficult game design - but the aesthetic was never to blame. The industry has ironed out a lot of these creases over the years to create much smoother experiences, and the indie space is proof enough that 2D doesn’t mean old and obtuse. The Binding of Isaac takes the original Zelda and makes it a roguelike, even sharing its UI, dungeon format, and item pickup animation - the inspirations ooze. Undertale is a 2D RPG that has combat expressed through a small box that has you avoiding the bullet-hell barrage - it doesn’t rely on fancy graphics. Little Dew is a more comedic Zelda that feels like an HD rendition of the classics with a quaint, cartoony art style. These are all iconic titles, despite not being 3D triple-A blockbusters. Meanwhile, when Nintendo wants to revive its classic library, it does so by modifying its 2D approach, 3Dizing them instead. Look no further than the upcoming Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Pokemon gam


RE: Code Veronica follows up on Claire Redfield's search for her brother, something that is first referenced in Resident Evil 2 . Immediately, the game shows us that Claire's mission to find her brother led her to an Umbrella facility in Paris. The character storylines of both games are inherently linked, something absent in comparison to R


However, the next rumored remake in the RE series is Resident Evil 4 , speculated to be released sometime in 2022. The events of RE4 takes place a whole six years after RE2 . If the RE4 remake releases before a Code Veronica remake then chronological order obviously isn't that important to Capcom. However, even if Capcom doesn't maintain chronological order, there is still a chance Code Veronica will be updated for next gen consoles. The drive to maintain chronological order would just mean the remake of Code Veronica could see an earlier release than expec


The Resident Evil franchise has always had a goofy, B-movie charm that makes up a large part of the series' character. Campy one-liners, embarrassing voice acting, and outrageous monsters channel the feel of a low-budget horror film on late-night television, contributing levity and charm to the experience without undermining the sca


I couldn’t get into Breath of the Wild and I couldn’t get into Ocarina of Time. I’ve had zero luck with 3D Zeldas, but I get why they’re popular and beloved. I used to boot up Breath of the Wild simply to throw things into the cooking pot for that sweet jingle. It’s teeming with satisfying little quirks, but it just didn’t click for me. 2D Zelda, on the other hand, is my jam. I love A Link to the Past, Link’s Awakening, and even the original ‘80s release. Given that we’ve been on a 3D high for so long, maybe it’s time to return to that classic appro


The market for Resident Evil remasters is provably profitable and less expensive to produce than a ground-up remake. To satisfy fans' hunger for an updated Code Veronica experience, Capcom can release an "ultimate edition" of the game. Capcom could improve on the already enhanced visuals from the 2011 HD remaster, adding more detailed textures and character models while improving the frame-rate. And if this sells well, Capcom can finally get Going to Adventuregameland work on the remake for next gen conso


If Resident Evil fans want to play Code Veronica so badly, they can still play the HD remaster. This 2011 release, although not visually perfect, is still a very fun game to play. Besides, the graphics aren't that outdated and still look quite pretty. The old-school vibe of fixed camera angles really brings back feelings of nostalgia that might be killed off in a rem


The story of this game is bound to feel like a Studio Ghibli creation in every sense of the world. Everything from the charming world to the amazing cast of characters will keep players hooked until the end of this amazing experie
