Have you had the chance to play Resident Evil Requiem yet? I must say, I've been thoroughly enjoying it over the weekend. At first, I was pleasantly surprised by the game's serious tone, but then the part with Leon and the chainsaws...that may be one of the greatest moments in the entire Resident Evil franchise for me.
And let's not forget Grace's section afterwards, it was truly amazing. I can't wait to see what the rest of the game has in store for us. It's clear that the game has lived up to the hype and I'm just disappointed that it won't last me very long. But let's be real, with a game of this intensity, there's no way to make it last forever.
Resident Evil games have never been known for their length, and with the rising costs of game development, it's unlikely they'll get any longer. Plus, let's face it, the appeal would probably wear off if they were 60 hour epics. I mean, how many times can you go searching for weird-looking keys?
But so far, Requiem gets top marks from me. The graphics, atmosphere, and Leon's gameplay are all top-notch. I can't wait for the next installment, Resident Evil 10!
Moving on to other gaming news, there's been some discussion about the crossover between console and PC gamers. It seems that some publishers are pretending there's more overlap than there actually is. One reader even tried to imagine a world where Capcom was solely a console developer.

As for me, I spent my weekend fully immersed in the world of Resident Evil Requiem and I must say, I'm loving every second of it. The game surprised me with its serious and intense tone, especially during the scene with Leon and the chainsaws. It's safe to say that this is one of my top five Resident Evil moments ever. And let's not forget about Grace's section, which was just mind-blowing. I can't wait to see what the rest of the game has in store for me. It's clear that the game has lived up to the hype and I only wish it could last longer. But let's face it, games nowadays are expensive to make and it's not feasible to make them last forever. Plus, the appeal would probably wear off if it was a never-ending game of intense action and suspense. I mean, how many times can you search for weird-looking keys?
But so far, Resident Evil Requiem gets top marks from me. The graphics, atmosphere, and Leon's gameplay are all top-notch. I can't wait for Resident Evil 10 to come out! Speaking of which, Capcom has been on a roll lately with their releases. And while we're on the topic, I can't help but mention the great work they did with the Resident Evil 4 remake. Bravo!
One reader, Bouncer, had mixed feelings about Resident Evil Requiem. While they enjoyed the game, they were a bit disappointed as they had been looking forward to it for a while. They especially loved the parts with Grace and even played with headphones on for a more immersive experience. However, they felt that the game was a step backwards and had some minor critiques about the graphics. But overall, they still enjoyed it and it even got them in the mood to replay The Last Of Us, which they believe is a better game.
Moving on to another topic, it seems like Capcom has forgotten about Dragon's Dogma 2. One reader, Chevy Malibu, reminisces about playing the first game and how the Dark Arisen DLC made it even better. They were hoping for a similar DLC for Dragon's Dogma 2, but it looks like it's not happening anytime soon. It's a shame because they were looking forward to revisiting Bitterback Isle on the PlayStation 5.
In other news, there's a Kickstarter campaign to bring Bit.Trip ReRunner to the upcoming Switch 2. One reader, Andrew J., shared their excitement about this project and even backed it up themselves. They also mentioned that there are optional add-ons for previous Bit.Trip games on Steam and PlayStation 5 at discounted prices. Even though they don't have a Switch 2 yet, they're excited to have the code waiting for them when they do get the console.
Moving on to a different topic, a couple of readers wrote in about the original Mortal Kombat film and whether Kitana was in it. One reader, Simon, picked up the Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection and it got them in the mood to rewatch the films. They confirm that Kitana is indeed in the first film and plays a major role in the plot. They also express their excitement for the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 film, particularly because it features Karl Urban, who they believe is a great actor.
Lastly, one reader, Stephen, raises an interesting point about the gaming industry's obsession with new CEOs and business heads. They compare it to other electronic industries, where consumers don't really care about who's in charge. As for Xbox, they mention that they don't really care about the CEO and would rather see the focus on improving the brand and products. They also touch upon the topic of exclusives and how they are content with the current offerings from Xbox. In the end, they believe that the product should speak for itself, rather than the business heads.
