RE4 was fine, from 1996-2002 we had 5 mainline entries and the formula was starting to get stale and the controls outdated, RE4 was a nice change with modern controls and a more action focused style to make the game feel fresh but RE5 and even moreso RE6 took things too far by making them purely action games. I think a complete reboot/remake of Resident Evil 1 is necessary. It can still have the same plot/characters/setting but bring in the over the should perspective and have a nice blend of horror/action. Revelations is a good example of this, to me it was a nice middle ground between old school and new school Resident Evil and to me thats the way the series should be. Not 100% survival-horror, not 100% action-shooter but right in the middle. |
I completely agree. Revelations is the right formula going forward. Another RE game that plays like 6 would be a big mistake. I'm generally not in favor of reboots, but RE is a series that desperately needs one.
@OP: I just can't get interested in a digital-only enhanced port of a 12-year-old remake, especially, as KylieDog correctly points out, one of the "enhancements" might actually detract from the experience.
Capcom has so many properties and resources. Why waste time and energy on this project?
