Is the new Resident Evil movie the ultimate video game adaptation?

Hey there! Are you planning on watching the new Resident Evil movie? It seems like everyone is buzzing about it on the Thursday letters page.

One reader even asked about the difficulty level of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. It's always interesting to hear different opinions and thoughts on games, which is why we have our Games Inbox where readers can share their letters, comments, and opinions. Want to join in on the discussions?

Personally, I've always been a fan of his work, so I was thrilled to see the movie getting a whopping 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and 79 on Metacritic. This is definitely one of the highest-rated video game movies of the year, which is quite rare. It's interesting to see how opinions on the best movies vary nowadays.

Some might argue that one of the Sonic movies or Uncharted could be considered the best, but for me, it's always been hit or miss with video game movies. However, this new Resident Evil movie just goes to show the difference it makes when you have a good director who is also a fan of the series, and gives them the creative freedom to do what they want. I can't wait to see the movie this weekend, and I'm curious if any of our readers have already had the chance to watch it, or even GC themselves?

Let us know your thoughts! For me, this year is proving to be a year where Capcom can do no wrong. Moving on to another topic, I completely agree with the reader who mentioned how crazy it is to consider spending over £1,000 on a PlayStation 6.

Don't get me wrong, I love gaming and it has been a huge part of my life, but I can't imagine splurging that much money on a console, especially if it's set to release next year. And Sony's attitude towards this only makes it less likely for me to consider it. However, I see this as an opportunity rather than a problem.

In recent years, many have argued that video games don't necessarily need better graphics. Sure, it's nice to have, but if it means longer development times and bigger budgets, it might not be worth it. We don't know much about the PlayStation 6 yet, but I can't imagine it offering anything that would make me want to spend that much money on it.

In fact, I believe it could potentially have a negative impact on the gaming industry, considering the challenges it could bring. On a lighter note, someone was looking for a cheap Game Pass Ultimate and the popular method seems to be purchasing three EA Play codes from Amazon for £19.99 each, but they must be done in separate transactions. Just a little tip for our fellow gamers out there.

And speaking of Game Pass, your review of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave has caught my attention. I've never played a Fire Emblem game before and I'm not the best at strategy games, so I'm wondering if it has a friendly learning curve and easier difficulty settings for newbies like me. Oh, and congratulations on reaching 400,000 gamescore!

That's quite an achievement and I can understand your desire to hit 500,000 now. However, I couldn't help but laugh when you asked if the new restrictions mean people will only be allowed a few hours a week to play Microsoft Flight Simulator, considering it's a game that simulates flying around the world. But jokes aside, it's an interesting point to consider.

Finally, let's talk about Nightdive Studios and their remasters of old 90s games. It's fascinating to see how much effort and money they put into these remasters, especially for games that may not be considered popular or well-known. Take Eternal Darkness, for example.

It may not be as popular as other games, but Nightdive still put in the work to remaster it. It just goes to show the power of nostalgia and how it can drive sales. I was also surprised to see that Nintendo allowed them to remaster one of their games, but it's possible they saw the potential in Nightdive's work.

However, I doubt that Nintendo has any plans for a new entry in the series. It's more likely that they saw the remaster as an easy way to make some extra money from a game they already have. After all, developing a new game with multiple different settings like Eternal Darkness would be quite expensive.

But who knows, maybe one day we'll see a new entry in the series. For now, I'm content with the remaster and I look forward to seeing what Nightdive has in store for us in the future. "Hey, are you planning on watching the new Resident Evil movie?

I'm a big fan of both, so I had high hopes for this one. And it looks like my expectations were met with a whopping 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and 79 on Metacritic. This might just be one of the best video game movies ever made, which is quite rare.

It's interesting how the quality of a movie can change when you have a good director who is also a fan of the series. I'm definitely going to see it this weekend, but I wonder if anyone here has already watched it? Maybe someone from GC or a reader who had early access?

As much as I love gaming, I wouldn't dream of spending that much, especially if it's coming out next year. And Sony's attitude isn't helping either. But I see this as an opportunity rather than a problem.

We've been saying that games don't really need better graphics since the PlayStation 4. Sure, it would be nice, but I don't think it's worth the longer development time and bigger budgets. We don't know much about the PlayStation 6 yet, but I doubt it will be something that will make me want to spend that much money on it.

And let's be honest, it's not good for the industry either. Speaking of good deals, here's a little tip for those looking for cheap Game Pass Ultimate. You can buy three EA Play codes from Amazon for £19.99 each, but make sure to do it in separate transactions.

Before stacking the codes, make sure you don't have an active Game Pass membership. Once you have the codes stacked, you can purchase one month of Game Pass Ultimate for only £77 for 10 months. I was surprised to see that Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave received such high scores.

It wasn't on my radar, but after reading your review and seeing other positive reviews, I might consider getting it. The story and Persona-like elements sound right up my alley. However, I've never played a Fire Emblem game before and I'm not great at strategy games, so I'm worried it might be too difficult for me.

Does it have an easy learning curve and lower difficulty settings? On a personal note, I recently reached 400,000 gamescore and I'm aiming for 500,000 now. It's taken me over 20 years to get here, and Game Pass has definitely helped in recent years.

But I have to ask, is Microsoft Flight Simulator really streamed through the cloud? With the new restrictions, does that mean players are limited to a few hours a week? What about long flights to other countries?

I'm not personally affected, but I'm curious to know if players will get any kind of compensation or refund. Finally, I have to give props to Nightdive Studios for all their remasters of old 90s games. I'm surprised by how well they sell, considering they're not exactly big names.

I mean, who asked for a remaster of an obscure 3DO first-person shooter? But they did it anyway. It just goes to show the power of nostalgia.

And I was pleasantly surprised to see Nintendo agreeing to let them remaster Eternal Darkness. I doubt it's a sign of a new entry in the works, but it's nice to see Nintendo respecting Nightdive's work. After all, it would be quite expensive to make a new game with so many different settings like Eternal Darkness had.

I highly doubt it will happen anytime soon."
