POLL: Resident Evil.....Before and After

While both styles are good on there own, there isn't another game to take up the place of old RE, while new RE is entering a world of shooters.

So it is disappointing to see RE take a new direction that feels totally against the style and atmosphere of the older games.

I personally prefer the old style, although the new was fun.

It evolved well if you ask meToriko42

For something to evolve, it has to inherit part of what it was. There is no Resident Evil in 4. Except for maybe the character ... names.

That is true. Its certainly a money maker.

RE4 had superb controls. The old RE games had superb atmosphere.Can-o-Mark

Capcom needs to remake RE2 witht the new style to show naysayers that the game stills RE no matter what.McdonaIdsGuy

RE4 was bad simple as that and re5 looks to be gears of war.

I want my survival horror games damit, And RE4 and 5 aren't evolution of survival horror they are completely different genres.

The pre-4 REs had absolutely abysmal gameplay. drinkoasis

I think thats one good way to put it. I felt like rambo in RE4 and didint really feel the atmosphere I felt from the other games.

She is alive, but is killed near the end of the game.

j/k. I've no idea lol :P

I prefer the new style, by far. The gameplay of the first ones was abysmal, but it was compensated by the atmosphere. Just that after FIVE games with that abysmal gameplay, the atmosphere stopped being enough compensation. RE4 has everything, a superb gameplay (that no shooter has matched, yet), great atmosphere (even if it was not as good as in previous games) and excellence on the details. RE5 looks like it follows that trend. I'm glad to see that.IronBass

I'm probably older than you. And you can bet I've played them, even the remakes for the GameCube.

And I think it was pretty obvious that it was my opinion, so it being AA/AAA doesn't mean anything.

Besides, the abysmal control scheme/camera angles is of common knowledge.

The thing is, in RE4 you feel safe almost all the time, and if you die, you just restart from the last chekpoint, wich is ridiculous close to where you'r been... that's wrong, its a good thing for an action game, but not for an horror game. I mean, back to Silent Hill 1, you had 3 bullets, you couldnt see a **** and you were hunted by some awfull ghosts, wich you couldnt kill by the way; in a horrible corridor full of rust and bodys hanging mutilated...

Now that's what i want from a horror game.

Why would play all the installments (remakes included) of a series you think had such "abysmal" gameplay?

The old RE games are classic but the gameplay wouldn't have held up today, they had to change it

RE4 is a new classic

The RE series is one of constant AA/AAA ratings so this abysmal gameplay you speak of is unheard of.



You're probably too young to have played the older RE games before RE4 came out.RuinedMachine

Because, as I also said on my original post, the atmosphere (and with it I include puzzles, characters, and plot) compensated that.

If the game had stayed the same people would have complained about them not changing the formula I like the new control I just hope the next game Resident Evil 6 will have zombies but with better graphics and the new control

Yeah they aren't survival horror or even thrilling at all anymore. I think the new gameplay is really good though and RE 4 is one of my favorite games last gen but I don't see why they had to take out most of the thrilling atmosphere and puzzles to include the new shooter oriented gameplay, other games blend those two really well.

i prefer that RE stays with its roots. that being said, RE4 was amazing, and im betting RE5 with be even better. the problem is that its simply not resident evil.
