The Latest on Resident Evil 4: Controversies, Remakes, and Mods.

The Resident Evil 4 remake has marked destructible crates with a painted yellow "X" to indicate that players should smash them for possible goodies, which has sparked a debate about signposting in game design. Some developers argue that it's necessary to make things obvious for players, while others believe that it can detract from the experience. Playtesting has shown that players can miss important clues without overt signposting, but some games like Elden Ring have sold well despite minimal guidance. As accessibility and customization settings improve, players may have the option to toggle environmental clues on or off based on personal preference.
