RE4 was a masterpiece and probably influential to other games in the RIGHT way, but influential to Capcom in the WRONG way.

RE5 was a decent entry in the series. I enjoyed it, at least.

RE6 was atrocious and absolutely pissed on the heritage of the series. It really spoke to me in that Capcom must have been really desperate to try and appeal to the west at the point, with their "go big or go home" attitude.

There was no point in having 3 campaigns when neither of them were even any good. Plus it was plagued with problems in most other areas: terrible story, character AI, pointless and exhaustingly unsatisfying QTEs, horrible bugs, and it wasn't even a scary game. Just something comparable to a third-person action version of Call of Duty.

I'm just glad we're getting a re-release of the 2002 remake cause I need my fix of that, and if Revelations 2 is not up to scratch I may as well give up on the series for good.

RE 4 was a fantastic game, RE5 was a good game nothing more nothing less but RE6 was a failed experiment that should not happen again !

For me the series pretty much started to go down hill with RE4.

They could have merely just made it a spin off series and didn't need to turn the game in to a bro dude shooter.

Hell, they could have still kept the survival elements ie limited ammo, limited saves, life etc and still had the new controls.

Or....or....just make it a spin off. They lack of success they are having lately is really their own fault. They fragmented their market and fans decided with their wallets.

I know, I know...what about RE5 sales, you could really only fool people once with such a trick, many clearly learned their lessons and didn't return to the series with 6 (like myself)

Sorry but I like playing what RE WAS not what it currently is.

Its like playing Gran Turismo and it turns in to a FPS and to STILL keep playing it JUST for its name sake.

I'm sorry but I don't play games because of the franchise name.

Calling it "Resident Evil" is NOT why I play it.

RE Code Veronica > RE4, RE5, RE6.

Why? They are great action games......they are not RE's any longer.

Or is Mario Kart still "Mario Kart" even if its a FPS? LMFAO!

Play the game, never mind the name.....

RE4 was the beginning of its Downfall. It was a good game in its own right, but it wasn't a good RE gsme.

RE4 started the bs so yes.

Re4 is easily one of the greatest games of all time but I can understand what the writer means

I think both the story and gameplay for RE4 is great. Las Plagas is almost somewhat believable as those types of parasites do exist. So it makes it much more realistic.

Never had any trouble with any of the controls for any RE game or the cameras but they were obviously made easier.

I just hope this HD remake of the remake is way better then that of the RE4 HD remake. As it wasn't as good as i hoped. Yes it was great playing RE4 in HD but it just didnt feel like it was completed and really didnt have that HD look. Hopefully Capcom will learn from that.

Yes RES 4 is still the best

Personally I really like Resident Evil 5 and 6. I enjoyed them for what they were, rather than constantly complaining that they didn't tick all of the typical Resident Evil formula boxes.
The only thing that I don't really like about them is the constant presence of an AI character, although it seems more forgiveable when the role is taken by a friend instead.

Re4 is one of the best games ever made. Re5 was the beginning of the end but still a solid game. I hate Re6 and I hate the fact that I'm okay with remaking Re4 a million times while I complain about other games getting redone once.

They chose to create one of the best games ever created.

No, Capcom didn't think properly when they made the most well received
Resident Evil game to date. (!)

RE4 was good as an action game but bad as a sequel for the series, that was not what I expected after I had play RE 1-3, there was no survival nor horror with RE4, it was a full action fiesta with near unlimited ammo, unlimited weapon upgrades & unlimited kicks... in short what CAPCOM need to do is the same thing SE need to do, look what made the old installments so great go play them & feel the atmosphere, feel the horror, feel the struggling for survival! that's what RE need not non stop shooting & karate kicks... as for SE it's a lost case for them I believe w/o Sakaguchi they will never recover we are going to see much more potatoes from them in the future yep 100% SE die after FFX.

I've been saying this for a long time. As a 3rd person action game RE4 and up might please some people, but as a Resident Evil game I thought it was absolute garbage.

Now they're stuck with a fragmented audience. If they were to make a genuinely fantastic Resident Evil game, all the younger generation who grew up on 4+ will be annoyed that they aren't in control of super steroid nuclear arsenal Chris, and it's an actual atmospheric survival horror. So it won't sell in whatever numbers would please their number crunchers and they will blame it on returning to survival horror, rather than their own failure to keep the series cohesive, and whatever other failures they inject into the gameplay and story with corporate meddling.
