Interesting how Square handled Parasite Eve 2 back then…

I am not comparing it to todays games. I really never liked the controls and camera back then. Thats not saying that I didnt enjoy the games, I like the storyline a lot and I am a huge fan of zombies, but they were flawed. They did not have to use this system of controls. Plus there where other games that did this genre better anyway, parasite eve and silent hill (especially silent hill 2), that did not resort to RE control scemes or did it better.

bob that’s what they were fucking trying to do back then. there was limited technology, limited disc space, limited fucking everything compared to today. what you need to fucking do is quit looking at all that shit in the past with today’s knowledge and look at it the way you first did all those years ago when NOTHING LIKE IT HAD BEEN DONE BEFORE aside from alone in the dark.

Who the hell would recomend outbreak to learn about classic RE? That has to be the worst of them all. I have played the old games and know about it and those controls suck. They do build suspense but only because they are so limiting of what you could do and put in the factor that you cant control the camera which makes it even worse.

@Bob Dole

You suck. You should play Outbreak, learn yourself something about classic RE.

@Arcadia
I miss Ashely’s cry for help. Sheva’s is too…different. Nowhere near as annoying as Ms. Graham’s. XD

@bob dole
All to well. ^_^

I just dont want them to go back to the old camera angle. It sucked. You all know that.

I would laugh if they gave it an ‘underhaul’ instead and turned it back into an adventure game.

I miss the old style quite a bit: I can get my horror fix from Silent Hill, but the cheesey B movie cliche is never portrayed so well in any game but Resident Evil.

Admittedly 4 had its moments, with Leon trying too hard to be a badass: YOU ARE SMALLTIME.

Yes, I believe it’s “action-horror.” ^_^

Capcom said they’d be giving the series an overhaul with Part 6, so I’m curious as to how it’ll turn out.

I think RE 5’s official genre is “action-horror” isn’t it? But yeah, this game is definately for the kind of people you’re talking about. It even has the same animations in it’s characters. In a way it seems lazy, but in another way, it seems like very precise marketing.
