This article tackles the debate about current Resident Evil titles being too action oriented and not scary enough. Talks about the original games featuring numerous problems that had to fixed and how scare factor had to be traded in so that the franchise could actually be fun.
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.
Yeah seriously, this guy is a genius, he's writing what we've all been thinking for years. The others were horrible, not fun at all. No one even bought those stupid games. They only achieved Greatest Hits status out of pity. Pssht, Resident Evil, LAME!
Do I really have to add a sarcasm tag to that?
Really scraping the bottom of the opinion barrel over there at the Examiner.
Towards the last paragraph it starts making sense ...but i dont agree with him explaining, why this was way better then the others :
"Since RE4, many have been angry, complaining that the Resident Evil series simply isn't scary anymore. In both the 4th and 5th games in the series, we see protagonists carrying super weaponry that you always have ammo for, which allows players to just blast your way through the game like a super action star and that is not "survival horror". These statements are absolutely right. However, in these most recent two titles, the gameplay is actually fun unlike the originals."
I really enjoyed part 5 though.
:)
What's more fun than having a Tommy Gun w/Infinite Ammo, Shooting hordes of enemies and giant monsters, Solving a few puzzles, Rescueing the Presidents Daughter and all while wearing awesome stylish Mafioso Suit.
Part 2 is still the best for me for some reason. Crappy controls and all, but at least they suited the pace of the game.
Oh, and I seem to remember while playing it, I had FUN.
Ummm no way!! This dude is on crack!! Part 2 3 and veronica are way better the 4 and 5!! Old resident evil games are the best!! For sure
