Due to the fact that I found my old game collection I have been going back and playing some of the games from when I was younger, namely Pokemon on the GameBoy colour and the first 3 Resident Evil games on my PSOne.
I missed out the original as I plan to replay that on my Gamecube at some point but have just finished 2. The controls, to put it politely, are bad. I'm not a huge fan of the camera angles although it adds to the tension in some parts but not always. I do however love the scares and even though I knew they were coming I did honestly jump a number of times even though the graphics are more than a little dated now, proving atmosphere helps build a good horror game. So anyway I have been thinking...
Let's say Capcom are planning to decommision the franchse but before doing so are giving the fans a chance to save it.
The choices are that the game continues to get more action based, the story more convoluted and the scares forgotten about almost completely. ALMOST.
OR
Option 2, we get back the creepy atmosphere and all voice actors play the part without venturing into the world of chesseyness. But this comes at a cost. The new shoulder view camera is scrapped for the traditional cluncky mechanics of the orginal games + 0.
So yeah, what would you do?
I honestly had more fun with 2 than I did with 5 and as such I think I would sacrifice good controls. (RE:6 may persuade me otherwise however)
