It was entirely due to the way they told the story, and the lack of a horror atmosphere. If you want a scary Resident Evil 5, go play Dead Space. It has a similar 'action shooter' control scheme, and is one of, if not the, scariest games I've ever played. I don't want to say I or my fiancee are horror game buffs, but I can't think of a series I've played that was better and making me not want to play due to terror than Dead Space is. If RE1-3 were remade, and had atmospheres similar to Dead Space, I can assure that they would be frightening. I especially think RE1 would be a great fit, due to the constricted hallways of the game, as it tends to hearken to the Ishimura. I couldn't imagine walking towards a narrow halway in RE1, and seeing a flash of thunder through a window, illuminating the silhouette of a zombie. |
Oh you don't have to answer them... they don't know what they are talking about. RE4 lost nothing, however RE5 did lose a lot so I wouldn't defend that one. Anyone that has played the early Resident Evils knows the controls were bad and that playing them RE4 style would be amazing. But RE4 lost nothing int he survival horror aspect... gave it more than any could have imagined.
