Although I reviewed the original Dead Rising years ago, I felt that I didn’t do its deeper themes justice, so here is a review of both it and its sequel in the viewpoint of the horror of exploitation. As always, read, share, and let me know your thoughts! medium.com/@thelegendaryt…

penguin i think it goes back to the idea that videogames being based on technology implies they can simply never be perfected and are doomed to be outdated. which i fundamentally disagree with. especially when it comes to PS2 games where most of them look as great as they've ever looked

Classic RE1-3 will always be valuable as works of art and as fun escapism becuase they reinvented a genre. Adventure games became SURVIVAL HORROR. Re2/3 remake, while great in their own right are iterating on RE4’s basic formula, not even the games they’re trying to reimagine

Remarkable. This piece, written by Jake Tapper, helps construct a pretext for Israel to resume full-scale operations in Gaza. Zero mention of the *multiple* attacks by Israeli forces over the past few days. Instead, he writes, “But so far, the tenuous ceasefire has held.”

I've enjoyed several of the remakes (RE1make, RE2R/4R, Dead Space remake), but they should *never* be replacements for the original works. We must strive to preserve them as important foundations of genres and to allow future players and designers to access them easily.
