Son imma keep it real..RE 4's gameplay style..while it was a good game..didn't feel like Resident Evil to me..the people who praised it so much cause it was different was the people who complained about Resident Evil's play style since like the 2nd or 3rd one...shyt was like the perfect Resident Evil game for people who originally wasn't really big fans of the series anyway...don't get me wrong..shyt was dope as fukk...but like
@Fatboi1 said...shyt would've been better served as a spin-off..that was the death of Resident Evil..Cause its not like the last few Resident Evil's before that was doing bad review wise...RE Code Veronica got nothing but 9s to 9.5 across the board...and REmake got the same type of scores...Zero was criticized cause it felt different and it was the hardest game to date...prolly the hardest RE in the whole series...and that wasn't even the worst rated RE before or after RE4 or up until that point...none of the spinoffs did really well..from Gun Survivor to Outbreak...
Agree to disagree.
I mean I get the sentiment but RE did need an update. The sales had been falling and interest in the series was dwindling. Now you can argue thats because Capcom decided to use dreamcast and gamecube as primary systems and hey I cant argue with that too much but you cant argue the formula was getting stale.
It needed an update some way. And we all know the story of RE4's development where capcom wasnt quite where to head with the series and made what like 3 different versions?
Regardless I think RE4 balanced the action and horror well enough and I cant think of a better campagin Ive ever played real talk.
Now,they obviously went too action heavy with 5 and co-op doesnt belong in a RE game.
Regardless of how everyone feels of RE4 as a traditional RE game,change needed to be made. It wasnt just RE games,survival horror was at its peak(and i loved it) there was games dropping left and right so the market was saturated.
Capcoms at another cross roads with RE7 that they were at with RE4. Its obvious people are over the action shyt and they need to go back to horror.
with that said I rank them
