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

WOW my old account Solidsnake2020, I can't believe I mixed up the preferences and couldn't enter it again, I was level 24 and might been higher by now. Now I have to start all over again.

Is good to see my old post is back.

The last time I was scared by Resident Evil was the zombies busting through the glass at Kendo's Gun Shop when I was 9 years old...since then, I've never really found the games scary, but RE4 especially--maybe because of how fairly easy it was, or maybe because the Ganados weren't all that scary....the chainsaw guy was pretty damn disturbing, though.

As for RE5, I'm just happy to have my favorite RE character back in the lead role.

I like the idea with the old resident evil where the camera background are just steady with the unique dirctional buttons functions to walk or run, it makes it more scary when ur being chase by the zombies, RE4 was like a first person shooter and im not a big fan of fps, (except for cod4 and resistance)

Resident Evil 2 was the creepiest...come on...best in series.

4 absolutely blew in the horror department except for one part, and you all know which one I mean.

5 looks to restore the horror, I can't wait. But if 5 isn't scary, then I might have to write off the series.

I know what you mean. RE4 was a really good game in its own right, but it did deviate from the things that made RE... well RE. The awkward shooting, the conservation of ammo, the puzzles and of course, the zombies were all missing from RE4 and I think that it was too many changes all at once for the series.

I didn't find RE4 to hold the same "scary" feeling of a survival horror that its predecessors possessed either. The original was probably the creepiest (although REmake would definately have taken that crown if it was indeed the first one and not a remake!), closely followed by RE2. This might be down to the fact that I was nine-years-old when I played it, but I still think it holds true!

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing RE4 and will most probably enjoy RE5 as well, but it just didn't feel like a Resident Evil game to me. Hopefully, RE5 can find a happy medium to appease both series-long fans and new followers brought along by RE4. We'll just have to wait and see...
