It's a pity that Konami didn't sell the rights to Silent Hill, since they have left that IP to rot, and the last several sequels were outsourced garbage. In one of them from over 10 years ago, you play this guy who goes into an old hotel, and you have to fight giant insects with a big axe, and look for postcards, because a female ghost wants to remember something from her past. Only they block and block and block, and the boss fights are so annoying. There's this enormous doll, and you have to hack at its body for ages like a moron. The game just sucks!
Capcom may not be anywhere as bad as Konami is in their current state, but they have no clue what to do with Resident Evil. For example, this is what Chris Redfield looks like in the newest game (not the remake), versus how he used to look in some of the prior entries, such as Resident Evil 5.
It looks nothing like him in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. He doesn't actually show up in the main game until during the ending, but then he stars in the downloadable extra stuff, namely Not a Hero. It's almost like recasting somebody else in a major role you've grown up loving, when you clearly know the difference between the main actor and the new dude, who feels like a shemp in comparison.
Apparently, Konami seldom make console games anymore. They said mobile gaming 'is the future' back in 2015, after Hideo Kojima buggered off and left them. He is working on Death Stranding, which is due out in November. But Konami have lost so much respect from people.
I'm not that bothered about this Death Stranding game at all. Sony had to delay releasing The Last of Us Part II. Sony won't put out two major releases so close together, so it won't be out until the spring of next year.
One game I did enjoy the shit out of this year, is Days Gone. Although it does get really repetitive going back and forth between different camps, I thought it was a long and very great game that has decent character development.
