Eurogamer: "Instead, both games explored a different kind of horror."
Capcom has removed the recently added Enigma DRM from the PC version of its survival horror game, Resident Evil 4 remake.
Circana data shows Resident Evil 5 as the best selling Resident Evil game in the US, ahead of Resident Evil 4 remake and Village.
So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.
New leaks from Dusk Golem detail cancelled Resident Evil projects, including a Rebecca focused Revelations game, while stating no Resident Evil 5 remake is in development.
Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.
resident evil 4 was still horror just in a different way. it gave you a claustrophobic feeling that none of the games in the series made you feel(atleast to me) while 5 was just pure action disguised as survival horror. i remember someone from capcom saying that resident evil 5 has a "black hawk down" feeling to it. how in the hell is that horror
Neither were particularly great at horror at all. Resident Evil really lost it's soul with Resident Evil 4 & 5. Pt 1, 2 especially 2), 3 were the pinnacle of the series.
It was such a shame when Capcom ditched the slow moving, shuffling zombie style of game.
I really think there was so much more they could have done with the series, as 4 & 5 felt dissapointingly, detached from the series. They were decent games, but they should have been part of a new IP, & the Resident Evil series could have evolved in more sensical ways. Like using a more fluid, obvious, 3rd person control scheme, as well as all the other intricacies that the step up from PS1 to PS2 to PS3 offered.
Oh please...
the only thing scary about Resident Evil 5 was its price-tag.
Once you see the characters pulling combos and backflips on "zombies"... its not scary. The fixed camera angles on RE0-3, for me, made the game scary
