Look man, I've played them all and you can't argue that the controls and camera perspective don't need to be redone. What worked 15 years ago just doesn't now. I agree that RE5 especially lacked the tension and atmosphere of earlier titles, but the camera doesn't bastardize the gameplay. You could still leave it as less shooter oriented and with less ammo, etc. It would be like what MGS3: Subsistence was to Snake Eater; same type of game, new way to play it.injected11 said:I didn't say there was no atmosphere, but it has completely changed. To make a heap of changes like that, but then call the game by the same title was a little unsettling for a long-time fan of the series. Playing RE4 for the first time, it felt like I went to the store and picked up a box labled "Graham Crackers", and after purchasing it, getting it home, and opening it, I find fruit snacks inside. Sure I enjoying RE4 a little bit, but when I picked up 'Resident Evil' 4, I expected a Resident Evil game, and that wasn't at all what I felt I had received. They had built up familiarity with a style of their game (and used it for RE 0, 1, 2, 3, Code Veronica, Outbreak 1 & 2, etc.) and then completely changed it, but called it by the same name. Sparse yet diverse enemies, little health, and even rarer ammunition combined with a sprawling and memorably detailed landscape (that will be revisited several times) with great atmospheric, dramatic music, a decent storyline, and zombies, is how a RE game should be, and how RE2 should stay. It's a classic. It practically legitimized the 'survival horror' genre.AaronUzumaki said:injected11 said:Fuck that. 4 and 5 shouldn't have even been called Resident Evil games because they significantly changed the gameplay, changed the entire way it is meant to be played, and went with grotesque images over atmosphere, they ended the (coherent) storyline before RE4 took place, and there wasn't a single damn zombie in the games. RE2 was just about perfect as is. Don't bastardize it by forcing the new "RE" style into a classic on the survival horror genre.RE4zombie said:I would love to see a remake of Resident Evil 2 in 3D. If Capcom redid the gameplay to be play more like 4 and 5 with over the shoulder perspective and better voice acting and graphics, it would be an automatic buy for me. They've already ported it to so many consoles the time for a remake is now.
While your opinion is valid, don't dis others' opinions. "Resident Evil" simply refers to the plot, which is still very apparent in 4 and 5 (more so in 5). The gameplay is so refined as well as the voice acting, this is true. The majority of people like the new gameplay style and atmosphere that you claimed isn't there. 5 didn't have the atmosphere as much as 4, but it is there. Revelations is looking to bring back that horrific atmosphere that made the game chilling and the way they implement the 3D could enhance that experience.
