Although many were shameless Resident Evil knockoffs, some managed to draw inspiration from Capcom’s iconic game while also offering their own unique twists.Īn excellent example is Silent Hill, a game that’s also set to receive a new entry on the Playstation 4. Soon after Capcom’s surprise hit, the industry started seeing a flood of games that sought to capitalize on the rise of spine-chilling games. We’re of course talking about the original Resident Evil, a game that didn’t serve as the first of its kind but was so critically acclaimed that it ushered in the golden age of Survival Horror, including countless sequels. Along the way you will face all kinds of challenges in the form of clever puzzles and horrific enemies as you scan every inch for items and make every bullet count. Not long into the mission do you find yourself separated from the rest of the team, left alone to carefully explore dark corridors, strange rooms, and secret labs. This game puts you in the boots of two special task force agents sent to investigate a long-forgotten mansion at the edge of Raccoon City, a place that has recently seen several cannibalistic murders take place.

While that connection is somewhat tenuous, it's hard to blame fans for being upset and disappointed that the project is ultimately an NFT grift.In late 2014 we’ll be getting a remake of a remake of the survival horror title that, for many of us, was the first time we were genuinely afraid to discover what was waiting for us around every corner. After the publisher registered Symbiogenesis as a trademark last month, some pointed out that the term means “the merging of two separate organisms to form a single new organism" - which is one of the foundations of Parasite Eve's story. Meanwhile, Square Enix may have to try to placate fans who were convinced that Symbiogenesis was actually a revival of 1998's Parasite Eve. Square Enix sold off some of its more notable Western studios this year and it initially planned to plow much of the proceeds into the blockchain and other tech before walking back on that plan. It's not a surprise that the company is moving in this direction after announcing in January that it would invest in blockchain games. It seems Square Enix is facing an uphill battle to make Symbiogenesis a success. A few weeks later, an Ubisoft executive claimed players would benefit from having a marketplace where they could buy and sell NFTs of in-game items, "but they don't get it for now." In April, Ubisoft announced that the game wouldn't receive any more content updates, effectively putting the game on ice and diminishing whatever value Ghost Recon Breakpoint's NFTs had. Last December, it emerged that Ubisoft had sold barely any NFTs in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, the first title in which it employed blockchain tech. However, the NFT market has cratered this year. This is one of the highest-profile stabs at an NFT-driven gaming experience yet. By subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy.
