I don’t see how anyone is expecting the FF7 remake this year or even early next. It’s not gonna show before the next gen systems officially get names and a press event and that’s being kind. They’ve got too much riding on it to dare to announce anything else about it before it’s ready.

In fairness, “new GW” (post Kirby firing in 2016) is actually doing a lot better. Sure, it’s still expensive as all hell, but they’re actually making an attempt at value again, and for the first time in the history of the company are doing things like “engaging with the community” and “market research” to give the…
You were way to nice with your reply. You’re a better person than I am. The internet seems to be filled with people who don’t understand subtext and get defensive when people begin discussing said subtext.
The developers have literally talked about the sexual elements of the game, the monsters, mary, pyramid head, and james’ sexual repression etc, (and I don’t know how this isn’t the most obvious thing just from playing the game, it’s apart of everything in the game) not that the word of the developers should even…
I think people react to and interpret art and entertainment in a variety of ways. If film theory is a legitimate discipline, then why not video game theory? It certainly doesn’t apply to every game, and sometimes symbolism can be a real reach. I’m not claiming that, you know, Tetris is about man’s Sisyphean struggles…
They’d have to get Team Silent to do it or another internal studio. They remastered Silent Hill 2&3 for PS3/360 and we know how that turned out. I know there’s legal reasons for why it turned out the way it did.
One of my favorite games of all time. Beating it left me emotionally exhausted when I was younger. Almost a state of shock. Great write up though! I sorta feel like Pyramid Head should have stayed in Silent Hill 2. Instead he was forced into different entries for no apparent reason other then, “Oh look, it’s Pyramid…
For me, the SH games were the first (and debatably only) horror games that were truly frightening, and actually interesting. Not just jump-scare, “omg I’m about to use all my ammo and healthpacks” anxiety, that the RE games felt to me. But actual mystery, mythology, genuine otherworldly creepiness nightmares.
Silent…
What you call “Palestinian propaganda” most of the rest of us would call a dry statement of the fact of Israeli violence against Palestine.
Bathing is bathing, taking a minute or two out of the day to keep that snatch fresh is something else all together. I’m sure even the peasants who wanted a little oral kept it somewhat on the up and up.
I can very easily understand the White House’s disgust with those gaming clips.
How about “It doesn’t matter for the story.” If this many people have read the books (including me) and had no idea she was Asian, then IT DOESN’T MATTER to the story and could have been left out.
The second book hadn’t even been written when Garland started adapting the first book. So it’s possible he did ask the author, and the author had no idea because he hadn’t gotten around to fleshing that part out yet.
This is like telling the US-born child of immigrants that they’re not really American because of their lineage.
In the book, the characters are not even given a NAME. Not a one. And apparently none of them were given a race either until the second book, called “Authority.”
Given the circumstances of the way this movie was made (it was put into production before the first book was released and the physical descriptions of the characters that note their heritage don’t appear in the first novel), I think the issue here is more that Hollywood has a problem with picturing every major…
Cool, thanks for explaining that. I was thinking to myself, “if they say she’s Asian, I’ll believe them, but I remember zero description of anyone’s races.” I mean, this is a book without named characters for cripes sake.
First of all, the screenplay was adapted while only the first book existed and the other two were not yet written (Source, about halfway down).
Portman was born in Asia (and holds dual citizenship).
