The worst thing they could do is go back to the (terrible) old formula. Honestly, I don't know why people hate change and innovation so much.

I Love innovation and change, but it doest mean its always right. Final Fantasy Xlll is NOT the right direction for Final Fantasy. |
RE4 is the most successful game in the series critically, and it was also very successful commercially. Obviously change was for the best in this situation. And isn't FF13 really just a step back from 12?
|
in what way was it more successful?
|
Critical acclaim (by far). There are only 2 ways a game (or other similar product) can be successful: critical and commercial. RE4 is by far the most critically acclaimed game in the series, and it also managed to bring the series back to commercial success, after years of decline (each game since 2 sold less than the one before it).

Are you sure this reply was meant for me? I don't really see how it in any way counters what I wrote. RE4 is definately a reboot (never said otherwise), one the series needed desperately considerign that it was close to irrelevancy when the game came out. And it all paid off considering the fact that RE4 ended up being the most acclaimed game and the series, and it actually managed to have great sales compared to previous games in the series.
The camera angle also changed in MGS games too (if you actualyl think that MGS4 has the same camera angle as MGS1 you need glasses), it's just that it seems more like a natural evolution, because that's exactly what it was. Konami/Kojima didn't recycle exactly the same gameplay like Capcom did with RE, so MGS never declined and was never in need of a reboot.
