Resident Evil was not a shooter/action game.

That depends. Resident Evil was certainly an action/adventure game, where the survival aspect came in form of a small old key taking the same amount of space as a Flamethrower. The only thing I miss from earlier Resident Evil was the fact that everything took place on the same map (something like a Metroidvania map) instead of a map that always pushes you forward. Other than that, I loved the original Resident Evil as much as I love Resident Evil 5 and 6.
