Resident Evil 6 & 7 Retrospective

"Resident Evil 7 harkens back to the series’ roots as the evil is indeed residential. Stripped out are the dozens of zombies, clones, martial arts cutscenes all wrapped in a cacophony of explosions." Writes Aaron Mullan

RE 6 was miles better game than RE 7 with a lot elements that reminded us Resident Evil ...though none of them was real Resident evil but at least RE6 was hell of a fun ....with Re 7 being the worst RE to date (i ranked it even lower than the FPS RE Survivor)

Neonridr1901d ago

totally disagree. For me Resident Evil games are about fear. The original RE games were so successful because they made you feel tense and afraid. RE7 finally gave me those feelings back after being absent for quite some time. Sure, being a first person game definitely gave it a different feel, but I personally think they succeeded immensely with that. Again, only my opinion.

Ignore him, he is a zealot. It's the type of gamer that is simply poison.

pietro12121900d ago

No, it wasn't. RE7 contained gameplay elements that resemble older RE titles than RE6.

gangsta_red1900d ago

RE 6 better, going to have to extremely and strongly disagree with that. RE 6 by far is the absolute weakest in the whole series.

RE 7 was an absolute blast to play, it definitely was brought back to something similar to old school Resident Evil and not some CoD army shooter that 6 was.

Look I enjoyed RE6 for the game it was but RE7 brought back the actual survival horror, obtuse puzzle solving, back tracking gameplay that RE was known for. RE7 was actually the most RE like game we got in a long time. I personally liked it better than 6 but I have no idea where you’re getting your info on RE7 being worse than Survivor... like have you played Survivor?

I thought that RE6 was a joke of a game when it got released but I played through it with my friend and actually ended up enjoying it, especially far more than RE5

RE6 has been thrown under the bus for a while and ran over by a train the game was crap there are people out there who like it and a majority that hate it. The only thing I liked about RE 6 was being able to play with a friend cruise through the game at high speed to get it done and over with. RE7 saved the franchise and RE2 remake made the franchise stronger I actually enjoyed both RE7 and the remake of RE2 the RE engine used on RE7 looks really great and I hope RE3 gets the same treatment.

jbrock111900d ago

To me it's this simple, one of the most basic key elements to a game are characters. For people that that actually like RE7, I'm interested to hear which game in the series you think has the weakest characters? I can tell you for a fact it's RE7 and it's not even close.

Yeah I figured it would be ordered like this. For me Leons best game was his debut. RE2.

Resident Evil Fans Discuss Whether They Prefer First Or Third Person

Players have long debated the merits of third-person as opposed to first-person perspective in games and the topic has recently resurfaced on Reddit, this time concerning the long running Resident Evil series. The discussion so far has generated somewhat heated opinions from users on both sides of the argument.

Resident Evil has a long history of using both perspectives, with some entries in the series like Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 offering players a third-person view, while others like Resident Evil 7 provided players with a first-person perspective. Some fans believe third-person allows for better visibility and control over the character, while others believe that first-person immerses you more deeply into the game's atmosphere.

Third always

It's what it's always been and how it's meant to be played whether it's fixed camera angles or over the shoulder.

Rockstar367d ago

There was a time when I would have agreed but if you've got a vr setup the 1st person RE's are on another level.

That being said, they can both exist because they're both fantastic.

Babadook7353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Exactly. If there was no VR version available or possible I’d say 3rd person. But because of the extreme heightened immersion, VR trounces the flat screen version, so 1st person please.

Sonic1881367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

They should have the option to have both going forward imo. But I do prefer third person view

Levii_92367d ago

I love both and the new mainline RE games should stay in first person for at lest one more game that’s why i hated that Capcom for some reason added third person in RE8 .. like why ? What was the point ? It just lost what made the new games unique and different. Re7 is a gem and already such a classic, it’s RE1 of this generation or well the prevous generation i guess i should say and RE8 is bonkers and so fun. Such great games.

Goozex367d ago

First person. It just ramps up the intensity for me
