GamePro.com Writes:
"Resident Evil 4 is considered the game that put the fear back into survival horror, this time with a whole new combat system and a vastly better control scheme. Now players could finally aim for ammo-saving headshots, explore full three-dimensional environments, and survive large shootouts with even larger hordes of enemies. It was a huge change for the series, but one that reminded everyone Resident Evil was still the best around.
Now, Resident Evil 5 is finally hitting U.S. shelves, bringing back the fresh gameplay of RE4 and replacing the terrifying Las Plagas with a new, deadlier breed of enemy. Sure, GamePro loves Capcom's newest masterpiece to death, which is probably evident from our glowing Resident Evil 5 review. But can RE5 really live up to the high bar set by its predecessor"
Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.
It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.
No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.
I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.
I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games
Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Includes savings on The Crew: Motorfest, Resident Evil 4, and much more.
i agree somewhat...although the co op in re5 is nice it somewhat hindered the experience because there wasnt an opportunity for crazy moments like in re4...for example the boss battle with el gigante in re5 wasnt as intense as in re4...and i remember some other stand out moments in re4 like the laser qte sequence and the krauser knife battle as well as the lake creature boss battle...awesome moments...not to say re5 doesnt have awesome moments but i do kinda feel re4's single player experience was much better because well..it was a SINGLE player experience and allowed for more...dont know though..i would have to think more on it because i just finished re5 which by the way is awesome but havent really gathered all my thoughts yet but thats what i feel at the moment
both games are garbage.. i want come back the old days of survival horror in ps1 imo.
because you have no friends to play split-screen with. Isn't that sad awwwwwwwwwww
I felt Resident Evil 4 is better. It innovated the series, and it was completely fun. I didn't like the last two chapters in RE5. The enemies there are stupid.
