Thread 715754484

can we agree that Resident Evil series was destroyed when they launched RE7 with autistic supernatural and "spook" theme? The series was always about psychopaths trying to spread viruses and create mutants not about people with meme supernatural abilities or "scary me" setting

Walking away from the adventure genre and diving a little bit deeper into horror is what saved the franchise. Or are you going to defend RE5 and RE6?

RE4 caught lightning in the bottle by being a good game, but its style never worked again.

RE7 and RE2 Remake cemented a safe and effective formula.

The spook themes in RE5 were more disastrous. A forward thinking mind would have known you can't do what they did.

I will say I don't agree with the narrative that Resisent Evil 6 was so heckin shit the series almost died or whatever and then the gods delivered upon to the world the savior of Resident Evil 7.

I think 6 is a better game than 7. It has some really shit levels but some great ones too.

7 was made to sell ps vr headsets and the game reflects that. It's ass.

Resident Evil jumped the shark with Code Veronica.

RE 5 is a blast
Great bosses, great story, amazing section with the best Wesker dialogue ever, amazing graphics, high replay value, gorgeous Jill, actually a thriller game not horror nor action but a suspense game with action moments. RE6 was shit for other reasons mostly the story

Qrd on op’s pic?

RE6 was rushed. Only 18 months of development
360 and PS3 were difficult to program, only 256mb of ram and they had to push next gen graphics to make it for E3 show

While the graphics are very good, they didnt finish the story or the levels.
It didnt fail because it was "action". If that were true, Tomb Raider and Last of Us wouldnt have sold millions
