Resident evil is getting better and better but is losing its main mark

Surely RE4 was one of the best in the series if not THE best and surely RE5 will follow. But it has changed and became more action adventure than horror and less puzzles, there was nothing scary about RE4 and thats what I didn't like, I sure hope RE5 will will have a mix of the old and new school.

What do you think?

I agree that RE4 changed a lot and that what I didnt like about it. It wasnt scary at all. RE5 looks like it might be scary every now and then.Luxen90

yea... something abotu zombies now having the ability to run is just freaky.

and the thing about them not being zombies in RE4 was stupid. I just called them leeches from RE0.

The 3rd one was the best... That was around the times nobody was comlpaining abuot the controlls and the controlls where acceptabel and it had nemesis... That bastard was the scariest thing I've ever seen in a game.The_Tombo

I think the second was the best but I do agree what you said about the nemesis I hate when it would pop out of no where chasing you.

The second resident evil game is by far the most scary of them all. I really liked what they did with RE3 though and how the game took place in the city. If it was not for RE4 then RE3 would be my favorite but RE2 is the most scary RE game that I've played and I've played them all.

ACTION- Resident Evil games

SCARY- Silent Hill games....enough said.Erik729

I disagree....the first Resident Evil was creepy as hell....have we all forgotten about Hunters jumping from off screen taking off your head even though you have full energy????

R.E.1 - Scary

R.E.2 - too easy cuz too much ammo

R.E.3 - good installment....only scary thing is Nemesis.....ok....its scary:|

Code Veronica - .......great game....what do you think? its been a while for me...

R.E.4- an action adventure game that felt NOTHING like an R.E. enjoyed it, but what ever happened to "survival horror"?

pretty much agree with TC and others.

I like the theme of zombies and horror, but unfortunately RE series completely forgot about horror.

How are we supposed to be scared of zombies when we have so much weapons to blast them all?

RE1 was scary because we had to run away instead of fighting our way through, hope that feeling comes back for RE games.

code veronica was a bit meh for me.. But then again its the only R.E. I've ever completed (the shame I know).

Don't get me wrong I've played them all (except the cube ones) but Never too far besides part 3 but I had to start over 3 times when I got to the final boss fight for multiple reasons.

1st restart.. not enough ammo

2e restart.. got the magnum in the police station instead of the grenade launcher...

3rd restart.. Memory card broken.

so by that time the ps2 came out so I pretty much gave up on R.E. 3

part 5 needs to take it indoors with some dark corridors and monsters that fill the room and what not!Benny_Blakk

[QUOTE="Benny_Blakk"]part 5 needs to take it indoors with some dark corridors and monsters that fill the room and what not!jocaju

I should have made myself more clear. The first 2 resident evil games were scary. But 4 was just a fun action game with a cool setting. All of the silent hills have been scary...well except for Silent Hill 4...what a disappointment, you didn't even get a flashlight! That's how bright the game was!!!!

Anyway, I'm imagining indoor next-gen RE, with (like you said) fast zombies. Imagine running through a house with that little analog stick pressedas far upas itwill go, sprinting, and having 4+ zombies right on your tail, slamming up against walls when the hallwaymakes a90degree turn,because they can't slow down fast enough, and screaming at you. That would be flippin' scary.

Resident evil 4 was only not scary because of the fact the enemys were SPANISH (Not a terrifying nationality) and giggling midgits for boss battles. Although the fight with right hand man in the sewer was scary, and the first time you realise the ganados use ladders to get in the second story windows. Not scary in the same way though, but with the volumes of african villagers running at you with only a handgun, me thinks that there will be alot of running in RE5. And hopefully you acctually RUN rather than jog like leon did.

Man I loved the first RE game.

They should change the time of day to night in RE5, then it will be very scary.

i think everything about res4 sucked except for the camera angle. you can tell capcom made it more of an action game to bring more gamers in. i beat 1,2,3, veronica. i remeber playing the 1st one at around midnight and scaring the crap out of me. res 4 only had a couple of differant bad guys. they better make the 5th one the old stile with res 4 camera. way on earth did leon be stiff as a board. you call that running. all i did was yell at the screan run forest run.

I tottally agree with the poster.

Resident evil is dying... I just wish they changed the name of RE5 to smth like ... I dunno...

What I want to say is that I wish they kept RE as the RE 1,2,3 and had a new name for RE4,5. The games could use the same story backround but have different style...

I didn't enjoy RE4. Had the game been a side story or a different IP entirely I probably would have enjoyed it, but the Resident Evil I know and love is dead. I can only hope now that RE: Umbrella Chronicles has something in it for me to enjoy.

The videos for RE Umbrella chronicled looks freaky, so in other words should be awesome, just the way RE game should be.

While they're no Mr. X or Nemisis, those chainsaw freaks made you tense up. Cuz you KNOW that the second you hear that motor revving up your forget all about the pitchfork carrying ganados and locate the one with the chainsaw. But, I gotta say the game isn't scary anymore, just uped the tensity a few notches, which doesn't really matter to me cuz it's still a great game.

Resident Evil is good game, but it isn't a game you would want to be scared.

Lucky for us, there are other franchise that really focus on horror part of the game.

Personally I think Fatal Frame series is scariest game of all. It isn't difficult, it is just scary.

And then there is Rule of Rose. I never thought I can think being scared is beautiful thing. Very artistic game and has very unique way of giving you goosebumps at the sametime think it is beautiful.

What RE4 did was fix all of the franchise problems. For that, it did get rid of some of the things that make RE, RE. Mainly the scary atmosphere. I loved the dose of action, and I want it the same, but more puzzles would be appreciated. I love RE4, but my main beef was the story. They completely gave us an unsatisfying conclusion to the Umbrella arc and threw us at something completely different. It was a great chapter, don't get me wrong, and clearly a good start for a new arc, but I'll rather had them stick with the original story of Leon infiltrating the heart of Umbrella and finally put an ending to it. A satisfying one.

I sure hope there is a Chris-Wesker confrontation in RE5:D
