| letsdance said: RE5 is a shooter. There is no puzzles in it. Its linear. No survival. It is the biggest stray from the franchise any game has done. And it was to get more westerners into it to buy it... AKA make it a shooter... the typical roided up main character from a typical shooter is proof of that. |
Capcom disagrees. They still classify it as "Survival Horror" in Japan and "Action Adventure" in the west. I'll give you TPS, but even then that's not really comparable to something like MW2.
Also, RE5 is basically RE4 with co-op and bump mapping. RE4 was where the series really diverged, not RE5.
Getting hung up on genre doesn't really negate my point though. They're both Japanese made games on the same platforms, released at similar times, with a similar western franchise rise. Besides, aren't YOU the one comparing FFXIII to Uncharted 2 in the first place?
