Hideki Kamiya thinks there should be a cozy Resident Evil game, where ‘retired Leon goes fishing in the countryside’

Hideki Kamiya, a key figure in the gaming industry, was involved in the Resident Evil franchise as a designer for the original game and director for Resident Evil 2. Despite his contributions to horror gaming, he does not consider himself a fan of the genre and has expressed a desire for a "non-scary mode" in Resident Evil games. Kamiya envisions a game featuring a retired Leon Kennedy living a peaceful life in the countryside, engaging in activities like fishing, baking, and helping neighbors. He has communicated with Capcom about the demand for a less frightening version of Resident Evil, indicating a genuine interest in innovation within the franchise. Currently, he is working on a sequel to Okami at his new studio, Clovers.

Dawn of War 2’s The Last Stand mode is still the best co-op MOBA that never was

Comp stomp is a cooperative gaming mode where players team up against AI opponents, but it often lacks genuine strategy due to the AI's limitations. The Last Stand from Dawn of War 2, launched in 2009, offers an alternative experience by placing players in a scenario with a single commander unit facing waves of aliens. Although the standalone version on Steam is no longer available, it can be accessed through the Dawn of War 2: Anniversary Edition. The Last Stand simplifies gameplay by removing traditional base-building and research, focusing on tactical skirmishes. Players can unlock various wargear that alters their playstyle, allowing for diverse strategies. The mode features a variety of playable factions, each with unique heroes and abilities. Despite newer titles, The Last Stand remains popular for its engaging gameplay. Fans are eager to see how it will be integrated into the upcoming Dawn of War 4.
