I started with Re 4: Wii and then went back and tried to play RE: Dual Shock on the Ps1. I hated the controls very deeply of the old style, and would have no interest in returning to it.

I wouldn't mind more ammo conservation and puzzles, but the camera and controls should not go back to what they were. That control style is simply outdated, much like the third-person isometric view of the old fallout games.

And technically, the phrase "survival horror" is one of the loosest genre definitions in gaming. It has been applied to rpgs, action games, point and clicks, and even some FPs games. There is a lot of leeway for what is acceptable in it.

Yes it is important what the first impression is of this game if you start with RE4 you aspect something totally different then when you start with originals.

The series turned into something so different.. I will always like the exploring/non-lineair/hard ass puzzle game.

I played the game for the puzzles and because of the vulerability you feel in the game through strong zombies and little ammo (zombies die with 6-8 normal pistol shots you begin with 15, good luck!.

Also what really bugged me with RE4 is the amount of enemies in the game the original RE games you didn't encounter many zombies thats what made you become so twisted. You havn't encountered a zombie for 10 minutes and you have a feeling they can lurk around any corner but still they won't show up untill you least expect it:)
