Something about this specific October hasn’t actually felt very October to me. Oh, the autumn temperatures are beginning to set in, and I’m seeing pumpkins by the bushel at each retailer. But I’m within the temper for spooks, and the video games trade this month didn’t actually appear to be offering. Then Konami got here swooping in with new video games in the revived Silent Hill franchise, and that supplied sufficient spooky fodder to maintain me going for some time. My favourite out of the video games proven was the mysterious “Silent Hill F,” if solely as a result of the trailer seems like a brand new spin on the franchise (and no small quantity of trypophobia bait).
Only hours later, Capcom held its personal occasion the place it revealed particulars on its upcoming Resident Evil titles. Gaming’s different long-running, a lot beloved horror franchise is usually about DLC and remakes this time. For instance, Resident Evil Village’s Rose-centric enlargement launches in just a few days, and it’s additionally getting a third-person mode (no, you continue to received’t be capable to see Ethan’s face). But the massive draw was the gameplay of the Resident Evil 4 remake, which Capcom revealed by way of the long-lasting village battle close to the sport’s starting. It seems promisingly atmospheric, and that’s all I can actually ask.
As a Bayonetta fan, I really feel it will be remiss of me to not deal with the continuing voice actor controversy. Two conflicting variations of the story have come to gentle: The one from former Bayonetta voice Hellena Taylor, and the one from Bloomberg and VGC stories. As of at this time, Platinum Games has launched a press release saying it helps Jennifer Hale within the position and asks that “people please refrain from any further comments that would disrespect Jennifer or any of the other contributors to the series.” This is probably going essentially the most we’re going to listen to formally on the subject. I do, nevertheless, hope that the dialog about pay for voice actors within the video games trade continues.
As for me, you would possibly know that we’re holding one other GamesBeat Summit subsequent week! I’ll be there, together with a few of my colleagues to speak about the way forward for the video games trade. Now that I’m not taking part in Gotham Knights, I hope to lastly get round to ending A Plague Tale: Requiem. Let’s see if I can get by way of it with out crying.
