I'll personally be interested in seeing whether those who have been very vocal in their dislike for the game change their minds and own up to it. And whether others will be gracious enough to not say "I told you so".
I'm pretty sure you can add any thread that Agility was in to the Hall of Shame.
Meh, the same thing happened with Resident Evil 4. People were incensed the game was not survival horror, that you go around collecting treasure off everything and the worst sin of all: no zombies.
Actually in my point of view, something went wrong with the whole Horror genre because of RE4.
Because nowadays we have too many worms and tentacles and bright yellow cores in horror games...
And RE5 failed because it never involved manor houses of castles. Isn't the title "Resident" evil? Enemies hopping around in Africa's deserts is not "residential" you know!
I actually thoght that RE4 was an interesting take on the themes of RE. It still played on the concepts of biological horror but rather than zombie virus its now a parasitic organism with a hive mentality. A different type of biohazard. As for the combat system it really needed a rework, if RE hadn't changed gameplay style then it would have by now. Yeah, it's not survival horror anymore, it's more of a Japanese action zombie movie situation but I still dig RE from 1 to 4 and still enjoy 6 to an extent. Do I miss the original formula? Yeah, and I hope someday they'll take another stab at it, but I still enjoy thenew ones... Well 5 not so much.
I also enjoy 4 somewhat, I'm not sure why that is, but at the time of its release I suppose I did not know that this would be the 'future' of Resident Evil and that it was an interesting take. They probably should have just called it "Are You Badass Enough to Rescue the President's Daughter?" and avoided all the fan-rage for it not being "RE".
What 4 did have was originality. New controls, new graphics, it was a step-up in terms of engaging 'new' gameplay. It think that context is important, because when 5 rolled along it was more of the same but brought nothing new to the table except having to drag a partner along, which I am not a fan of being forced to do in a game. 5 Feels bland. Just... bland. And 6... well from the demo it also seemed bland and I spotted considerable laziness in the background graphics and repetitiveness. From collected reviews it seems 6 is a sub-par effort, even according to people who like it.
It would be nice if CAPCOM gave us an RE2 remake in the vein of the other REmake, and it wasn't just constantly brought up to tease the fans.
