Resident Evil was not a shooter/action game.

RE4 is a great game and RE5 and RE6 were good. Why people are obsessed with wanting games to be like they were earlier in their life's is beyond me.

People don't like change, even when it's for the better.

But it was a change of genre really, from Adventure to Third Person Shooter.

It is like to release Tetris 5  and it becomes a Lobster cooking simulator.

Not really.  It's still shooting zombies (or plagas, w/e), still the same visual style (although obviously more advanced) same tone, 
some of the same characters, etc.  The change is certainly far less radical than the one you proposed.
