I am pretty sure they know what made first resident evil games good. Its you baka gaijin want something else that they don't want.

>Playing (((Bethesda's))) the black bars Within

>Not playing Resident Evil 7 instead which does a better job of being both a Resident Evil game AND what Evil Within set out to do

Sad

>>14583199

Wow, a game that tries to be like RE4 isn't like previous REs. What are you even trying to do with this thread other than make a needlessly indirect RE1-3/CV>RE4 thread?

>>14583199

They are behind it. Shinji Mikami wanted to make something else but (((Zenimax))) ordered him to do a RE 4 clone because that's what normalfags know him for.

>>14583261

I heard that there is only one enemy type to fight against, which is enough to make me not buy it.

>>14583277

Because they wanted to have some share in RE4's success but RE4 only was successful because of not having a shitty camera view.

>Shinji Mikami wanted to make something else

Source famalam?

>>14583340

Imageboard hearsay.

>>14583353

Ah, so basically nothing.

I had doubts anyways tbh. Since RE6 was another example of Japs having no clue about anything and simply copying what the Marxist west produces.

>and not have a fixed view anymore

Am I a complete faggot for not minding those fixed camera angles? Or at least dynamic moving camera angles like Silent Hill?

These over the shoulder camera angles are for pew pew over the shoulder shooters. Not tension filled horror games with occasional monsters and puzzles. I just remember the environments so much better. The RE mansion, the RE2 police station, the SH school. [spoilers]Or maybe it's just nostalgia[/spoiler]

but i am a faggot for for fucking up my spoiler tag

Are the Resident Evil movies nothing more than self-insert fan fiction for mila jovovich's character?

>not have a fixed view anymore but rather a third person view the only reason why resident evil 4 was liked

Hate to break it to you, but Resident Evil 4 had a fixed camera as well. The camera was fixed to directly behind Leon's shoulder,never leaving that position and never allowing you to move it without first rotating Leon. Compare that to something like MGS3 where you can rotate the camera to look directly behind Snake, etc.

And RE4 wasn't good for its camera, it was good for figuring out that aiming was the key mechanic of the game. Almost every enemy or challenge in the game revolves around some sort of aiming, be it weak points, target practice, etc. Every important mechanic of RE4 comes out of or is affected by those aiming mechanics, which is why the game feels so deep, despite being simple on paper. Given any distinctly unique (and therefore memorable) game, there's one thing that ties it all together.

Rolling in Katamari, catching monsters in Pokemon, chaining tricks in Tony Hawk's, or they style meter in DMC, are all good examples of this. Copying any of these mechanics would leave people to criticize it a clone of the other game.

The thing Mikami et al. don't realize is that the game needed to find one thing that defined it and expand off that one thing. The Evil Within doesn't have one because the developers weren't thinking about gameplay, they just thought about copying RE4. Predictably, it turned into a turd.

Evil Within was shit in my oppinion.

It was not horror it was just gore to get the 13 year old boys excited for playing muh hardcore bloody gaym.

The original Resident Evil games were not about the horror either. Their appeal was that you had to manage your ressources, try to not get eaten by enemies because the controls and movements were so shitty, one error results in losing tons of health and then offloading your big guns at the main bosses.

It's a game that has a nice premise but the voice acting ia re1 levels of bad.

>Why do Japs not see what made the first Resident evil games so good?

I'm starting to think that lots of early games success were flukes caused by inexperienced developers and hardware limitations

OP here

>>14583907

>>14583908

Well, firsty you need to go back to cuckchan

> Not tension filled horror games with occasional monsters and puzzles

Wrong, it's just nostalgia but i agree that they could play a bit with the camera and try something new

>>14584061

> and never allowing you to move it without first rotating Leon.

You could move it and look to the right, to the left, up and down.

>it was good for figuring out that aiming was the key mechanic of the game

Totally agree

How could i forget to write this in the op, i'm such an idiot. I wanted to write this as the first point SMH tbh.

>The Evil Within doesn't have one because the developers weren't thinking about gameplay, they just thought about copying RE4. Predictably, it turned into a turd.

Yeah agree, though the game was fine for current year games.

>>14587453

>Their appeal was that you had to manage your ressources

Well Evil Within has this.

>>14587520

The german version is much better.

>I'm starting to think that lots of early games success were flukes caused by inexperienced developers and hardware limitations

The shitty movement is a good example i think.

They have universally terrible taste.
