You’ve noticed it too. No matter how hard you try to avoid the feeling of deja vu, you live in a continuous creative Groundhog Day<\/strong>: not only do video games<\/a><\/strong>, books and popular movies increasingly resemble each other, leaving the way open for algorithms to create what the public apparently wants to consume and using the human hand only as an executor\u2026 but also, the best-selling products are remakes. Did you like this dish? Well, we’re not going to give you variations of the recipe: we’re going to give you the exact same thing. Over and over again. And what’s better: you’ll end up asking for more.<\/p>\n\n\n

Behind you, asshole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The social networks were recently full of praise for ‘Resident Evil 4<\/a><\/strong>‘, the new version of the 2005 game that lengthened and changed the plot enough (but without great follies) giving one more reason to come back to that zombified Spain. The graphics are impressive, the gameplay has been improved, but, in the end, it is still the fourth installment of ‘Resident Evil’ again<\/strong>, a saga accustomed to that every few years their games are re-released on as many consoles as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, a remake of ‘Resident Evil 4’ is preferable to suffer the continuous Groundhog Day with which, for years, Nintendo <\/a><\/strong>threatened us: Or don’t we remember the fiasco of ‘Mario 3D All-Stars’ that left the games as they came out <\/strong>on Nintendo 64 or GameCube and charged them at the price of novelty? Luckily, the big N learns from its mistakes (sometimes): ‘Metroid Prime Remastered’ or ‘Kirby’s Return to Dreamland’ are two of the best games of the year, partly because they were already two of the best games of 2002 and 2011, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
