The Voice Actress of Ada Wong in Resident Evil 4 Remake releases a statement. I also discuss the battle AI in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Resident Evil Village removing Denuvo.

Resident Evil 8 Denuvo Removed

According to the Dark Side of Gaming, the Denuvo antitampering software that was implemented in various Resident Evil games has now officially been removed. The latest example was Resident Evil Village, which had a lot of performance issues when it came out on PC, primarily caused by the antitampering software. Now that Denuvo has been removed from Resident Evil Village and various other Resident Evil games, hopefully they will perform a lot better.


Denuvo has been a controversial software in the gaming industry for quite some time. It is designed to prevent piracy and protect games from being cracked and distributed illegally. The software works by encrypting certain files in the game, making it difficult for hackers to access and modify them. This is achieved through a combination of anti-debugging, anti-tampering, and obfuscation techniques.


However, Denuvo has faced criticism from gamers and developers alike. Many argue that it negatively impacts game performance, causing issues such as increased loading times and decreased frame rates. In some cases, the presence of Denuvo has even led to crashes and other technical problems. As a result, there has been a growing demand for Denuvo-free versions of games.


The removal of Denuvo from Resident Evil Village is a step in the right direction, as it will likely improve the overall performance and stability of the game. Players can now enjoy the game without experiencing the performance issues that were present at launch. This is especially important for PC gamers, who rely on optimized performance to fully enjoy their gaming experience.


It's worth noting that Resident Evil Village is not the only game in the series to have Denuvo removed. Several other Resident Evil games, including Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil 3 Remake, have also had the software removed. This shows that Capcom is listening to player feedback and taking steps to improve the gaming experience.


In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of games removing Denuvo. While some developers still choose to implement the software, many others have opted to remove it after seeing the negative impact it can have on their games. This trend suggests that game developers are prioritizing player satisfaction and performance over anti-piracy measures.

FF7 Rebirth Improved Battles

The next bit of news for today is Final Fantasy 7 Remake Lead Battle Programmer has stated that he would like to create an AI where the opponents do more than just attack and guard. He wants to surpass the technology used in the Final Fantasy 12 Gambit System to make the opponents be able to cast a variety of skills in order to make it more challenging for the player.


The Final Fantasy series has always been known for its deep and strategic battles. The introduction of the gambit system in Final Fantasy 12 was a major milestone in the series, allowing players to program their party members' behaviors in battles. This added a new layer of depth and complexity to the combat system, as players had to carefully plan and strategize their actions.


Now, the Lead Battle Programmer of Final Fantasy 7 Remake has expressed his desire to further improve the battles in the game. He wants to develop an AI system for opponents that goes beyond simplistic attack and guard patterns. This means that enemies in the game would be able to cast a variety of skills and abilities, making battles more challenging and unpredictable for players.


While the details of this improved AI system are still scarce, the idea of introducing more sophisticated opponent behaviors in Final Fantasy 7 Remake is an exciting prospect. It could potentially revolutionize the combat system, making battles even more engaging and rewarding.


However, it's important to note that implementing such an advanced AI system is not an easy task. It requires extensive programming and testing to ensure that the opponents' actions are balanced and fair. The developers will need to strike a fine balance between challenge and frustration, creating opponents that are formidable but not unbeatable.


Only time will tell how this new AI system will be implemented in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Fans of the series can only hope that it will enhance the gameplay experience and add a new layer of complexity to the battles.

Lily Gao Statement

And the last bit of news for today is the Voice Actress who played Ada Wong in Resident Evil 4 Remake, Lily Gao, was harassed so much that she deleted all of her posts off of Instagram. Yesterday, she released a statement saying that she is honored to be the first Asian actress playing Ada Wong, and she has given nothing but praise to Capcom. She's also calling for harassment against Asian women to stop. I support her 100% in that message and I hope good things for the future of her role as Ada Wong in the Resident Evil games.


It is truly disheartening to hear about the harassment that Lily Gao faced. Online harassment has become an increasingly prevalent issue in the gaming industry, with many actors, developers, and other game industry professionals being targeted. This behavior not only negatively affects the individuals involved, but it also creates a toxic atmosphere that can deter talented individuals from pursuing careers in the industry.


Lily Gao's statement is important in highlighting the need for respect and inclusivity within the gaming community. As the first Asian actress playing Ada Wong, she has broken barriers and added diversity to the portrayal of characters in the Resident Evil series. Her positive experience working with Capcom and her call to end harassment against Asian women should be applauded and supported by gamers and the industry as a whole.


It is crucial for the gaming community to come together and reject any form of harassment or discrimination. Everyone should be able to enjoy games and participate in the community without fear of being targeted. Game developers and platforms have a responsibility to take a stand against harassment and provide a safe and inclusive environment for all players and professionals.


In conclusion, the removal of Denuvo from Resident Evil games is a positive development that will likely lead to better performance and stability. The desire to improve battles in Final Fantasy 7 Remake with a more advanced AI system shows a commitment to delivering engaging and challenging gameplay experiences. Lastly, supporting and advocating for the well-being of game industry professionals, like Lily Gao, is important for fostering a positive and inclusive gaming community.
