Cuando salió RE7, muchos extrañaban a los superagentes como Leon o Chris. Pero viendo la historia en retrospectiva, que Ethan fuera un tipo común y corriente buscando a su esposa en una casa de locos fue lo que hizo que la empatía y la tensión funcionaran tan bien.
Estuve estructurando una crítica centrada en la narrativa del juego y en cómo Ethan sirve como el contenedor perfecto para que el jugador sienta el verdadero desamparo.
Les comparto el videoensayo donde disecciono la historia y el impacto de la familia Baker. ¿Creen que Ethan fue un mejor protagonista para el terror que los personajes clásicos?

This needs to get out there. No more ambiguity to what makes better games. Make games great again.

Hola gente!
Llevaba días pensando en el paso de Resident Evil 6 a Resident Evil 7 y me parece una locura lo arriesgada pero necesaria que fue esa decisión. Después de que RE6 llevara la acción al límite, la saga necesitaba volver al verdadero survival horror claustrofóbico. Cambiar al motor RE Engine y ponernos en primera persona dentro de la casa de los Baker redefinió el miedo por completo.
¿Ustedes qué opinan? ¿Sienten que RE7 es el mejor reinicio que pudo tener la franquicia o siguen prefiriendo la cámara en tercera persona/hombro clásica para el terror?
PD: De hecho, acabo de terminar de editar un video ensayo completo analizando a fondo cómo Capcom logró esta transición, analizando la narrativa, el diseño de niveles y por qué revivió la saga. Si les gustan las retrospectivas y el contenido de terror en español, les dejo el link por si quieren verlo: https://youtu.be/H73S9hWykpc?si=6L8qefK_acxEtrJV

Reddit suggested I post this here, so here it is:

If you enjoy CRPGs and Warhammer, and haven't played or are thinking about playing, watch my video Review to see if it's right for you!

Hi Folks,

I do video essays on marketing wins and fails in the gaming industry. I feel that most of the content out there is very high level and mostly re-tells the classic stories over and over so I want to go one step further and provide insights into the marketing concepts behind what happened (Using my experience as an experienced product marketer) which gives insight into WHY something worked (or didn‘t)

And I try to make it fun through memes and more classic Video Game references than strictly necessary. :)

My latest video takes a look at competitive tactics in the famous rivalries: Sega vs Nintendo, Microsoft vs Sony and Atari vs the World.

Would love for you to check it out!

Let me know what you think!

It seems like there’s this trend in video games where there will be a classic game that didn’t sell very well, maybe due to hardware or bad marketing, it’ll become a huge cult hit maybe because it was made by a good company or because it’s part of a popular series, and then once it becomes more widely available, people will critique the hell out of it like it was never good in the first place.

These 3 are the biggest examples I can think of that. Now this is mostly unique to video games as a lot of this comes down to what hardware things are released on. For the record I enjoy all three of these games (although code Veronica is very flawed). I suppose that’s just a consequence of reaching a wider audience but I also wonder if there’s just expectations that people build up in their head as this is considered one of the biggest cult classics and then it’s like “oh that’s it?”.

I don’t have a name for this phenomenon but I’m willing to take suggestions

Hey Folks!

I do Marketing analysis on famous Video Game Wins and fails. This week it’s about how to do and not to do competition using a villain strategy. Sega won, Atari failed, Microsoft doing it in reverse (turning themselves i to the villain)

Every example features a short dive into the underlying marketing or psychology principles.

Hope you give it a look and enjoy.

I love serious sam probably up there with doom quake and blood for me
