Characters: Fulgore
In-game failing: A lack of killer instinct
Fulgore was a robo-soldier prototype entered in the tournament as a test of his combat abilities. The verdict? Weapon systems great, AI rubbish. He's installed with a bloody huge great machine gun in his neck, but he always forgets to use it until he's already knocked his opponent out. Hey Fulgy, wouldn't it be a good idea to use it in the actual fight? Say right at the beginning?
Game: Resident Evil
Character: Jill Valentine
In-game failing: Basic motor control/sense of self preservation
Forget the fact that the opening cutscene clearly shows Jill managing to run in a straight line for at least 10 feet - like that's ever going to happen once the old Resident Evil tank controls kick in - where her realtime self really fails is in the way she loses all capacity for rational thought when confronted with a monster. Compare and contrast:
"Hmm, now just how did we get away from those dogs in the woods?", she wonders, as the steady approach of death does nothing to jog her memory.
A Zelda movie is finally happening, but Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto used to adamantly oppose the idea even "if Steven Spielberg himself" wanted to do it
The other devs behind the best retro beat-em-up in recent memory are making a co-op roguelike brawler that "channels the spirit" of Capcom's classic D&D games
