While not traditional horror resident evil 4 is an awesome game and stands well even today

naruga2641d ago (Edited 2640d ago )

this ^^ ...very good game but not a Resi ....the title could ve been "changed horror gaming to the worst" (if anyone considers into what the series has evolved.....RE5-6....and finally the tragic RE7

-Foxtrot2642d ago

I still think it had a decent balance of both horror and action

I mean going through the Castle for the first time, low on ammo and all you could hear was that chanting put you on the edge of your seat. I used to try and look for them but suddenly, out of nowhere they'd stab me in the back

FallenAngel19842641d ago

I shake my head at the people who say "It's not even a true Resident Evil title."

Do these same people also say that titles such as Fallout 3, Hitman: Absolution, Grand Theft Auto 3, Metroid Prime, Bioshock Infinite, Metal Gear Solid 4, & Tomb Raider '13 aren't true mainline installments in their respective franchises because they dramatically changed a lot of the conventions from previous installments?

And don't even me started on the ridiculous arguments on what constitutes a "true mainline Final Fantasy title."

Yui_Suzumiya2641d ago

I think you meant Metal Gear Solid 5.. Metal Gear Solid 4 was a true MGS game unlike 5.

Imalwaysright2641d ago (Edited 2640d ago )

To me MGS5 was more a MGS game than MGS4. MGS4 had amazing stealth gameplay but there was so little of it (and gameplay in general) that I was left extremely disappointed. MGS5 fixed that.

TheFirstClassic2640d ago

Mgs4 took away most of the stralth and forced you to play the game like a third person shooter a lot of the time.

Kyosuke_Sanada2641d ago

To be fair, Resident Evil 4 threw away important aspects that made survival horror such as ammo drops for killing enemies and overpowered melee attacks (the same could be said for new Tomb Raider throwing away it's aspect of survival by regenerating health and the ability to make silencers out of animal bones). Metal Gear Solid 4, while adding a new perspective, added many new elements that complimented it's original gameplay which kept it being a stealth game foremost.

Evolution can occur in gaming but not by throwing away key concepts that made it attractive in the first place.

zaherdab2640d ago

Please don't shake ur head :(

PhoenixUp2641d ago

I wouldn't say that RE4 did irreparable damage to the overall franchise.

Resident Evil: Revelations 1 & 2 were great titles that blended the great modern controls from RE4-RE6 and the gameplay philosophies of RE1-RE3 into a great package.

Yui_Suzumiya2641d ago

Revelations 2 was amazing. It's the best Resident Evil I'd played at the time since 3.

Tankbusta402641d ago

Resident Evil 4 ruined horror games by making them about action. It took over a decade for horror games to make a comeback

Irishguy952640d ago

Its not RE4's fault. Its the devs and companies that tried to copy it. It is there fault they failed at making either a action horror, or just a horror. Really. RE4 was nothing but a success. It's like blaming marijuana for heroine addicts. "Oh but the slippery slope". Nah **** off mate.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos36d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts36d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook735d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka35d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka36d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr36d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz36d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos35d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1736d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca36d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.

Not a big surprise really. All games are pretty rough until the very end and everything is released with bugs regardless of how the consumer quantifies it as being “polished.”

CrimsonWing6952d ago

That’s sort of how game development or any kind of software development goes. Looking for bugs and debugging, QA, and trying to scramble and polish everything before a deadline’s up.
