To celebrate September 30, the day the cop inside of Leon Kennedy died, here’s my most traumatic encounters in Resident Evil

September 30 marks 28 years since the events that shaped Leon S. Kennedy in the Resident Evil franchise, particularly the Raccoon City incident caused by Umbrella Corporation's bioweapon experimentation. Key moments from the series include: - In Resident Evil Village, players experience a terrifying chase involving a giant fetus, creating a lasting impression of horror. - Resident Evil 7 features Marguerite Baker, known as "Spider-Mum," whose grotesque appearance leaves a significant impact on players. - In Resident Evil 2, the tension from being pursued by Mr. X (T-00) is heightened by the haunting sound of his footsteps. - The emotional scene in Resident Evil 2 with Robert Kendo trying to comfort his daughter Emma as she succumbs to the outbreak resonates deeply with players. - In Resident Evil: Revelations 2, the decision to leave Moira behind results in a gut-wrenching emotional fallout. - The Keeper's Diary from the original Resident Evil explores the descent into madness due to T-virus infection, creating a disturbing narrative.

It took CD Projekt two years to design Phantom Liberty’s Chimera Tank boss fight: ‘We were iterating over and over’

The Chimera Tank boss fight in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty features protagonist V and President Myers against a spider-tank inspired by Ghost in the Shell, set in a Barghest facility. Game director Gabe Amatangelo and creative director Igor Sarzyński discussed the challenges of its production on CD Projekt's AnsweRED podcast, highlighting it as an example of collaboration across gameplay, narrative, art, and worldbuilding. Art director Paweł Mielniczuk noted that it took two years to develop the boss fight, which went through four iterations. Sarzyński described the Chimera as one of the most expensive art assets ever created. Some players felt the fight could have been better balanced, comparing its difficulty to a battle in The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone.

Ultimate Modpack Tier List: Best Minecraft Modpacks Ranked By Difficulty And Server Requirements

Minecraft modding has developed into a diverse genre with various experiences for players. Modpacks can significantly differ in focus, such as magic and exploration versus factory automation. There are four primary categories of modpacks: 1. Casual exploration packs: Typically contain 80-120 mods and require 4-6GB of RAM, suitable for 2-3 players. 2. Tech and automation packs: Include 150-250 mods and need 8-10GB of RAM due to background chunk-loading. 3. Quest-driven expert packs: Require a minimum of 8GB of RAM, ideally 10-16GB, along with a robust multi-core CPU. 4. Kitchen-sink packs: Combine hundreds of mods for a varied experience. Server requirements vary; casual exploration packs may run on 4GB of RAM, while kitchen-sink packs can consume 12GB or more. Choosing a hosting provider is crucial, especially for tech-heavy packs, as free options often have RAM limitations. Players should ensure the server has adequate RAM based on the modpack, as even lightweight packs can use up to 6GB with multiple players. Each modpack has a unique flavor and difficulty level, making it important for players to align their choice with their preferred playstyle and server capabilities.

Capcom has heard feedback that Onimusha is too easy, says it’s ‘confident fans will be satisfied with difficulty’ in the final game

Onimusha: Way of the Sword features a demo that showcases a later segment of the game set in Kyoto's open areas, highlighting its art direction, character movements, and swordplay. The melee combat differs from FromSoftware titles, offering immersive animations and impactful feedback. The demo was perceived as easy, particularly in "Action" mode, with basic enemies posing little threat, while the challenge increased during the boss fight. The game's director, Nihei, noted that both the demo and the event version are early in the game's progression, explaining the ease of basic enemies and indicating that players will face tougher foes as they advance. The demo included button prompts over enemies, which will not be present in the final product. Capcom intends to gradually introduce Musashi's abilities and increase enemy difficulty in the final release. The game will launch with only two difficulty settings: Story and Action, on September 24.
