Message: [QUOTE="Rifle Leeroy, post: 162438, member: 224410"] My two cents on why some "hardcore fan" of the first trilogy will be always dissappointed by RE4, no matter if its indeed a great game. The genre "survival horror" its a journalistic invention who follow the statement made by Mikami. Back then, the players had so much fun with the first three episodes (myself included) they convince themself to really believe that a new genre was created ,which is not true. Resident evil games until the fourth episode (RECVX), was a weird mix of action games with some elements from graphic adventures/puzzle adventure,but still an action game. Resident Evil 4 abandon that formula which doesn't mean it is more "action" oriented but rather less hybrid compared to the first trilogy. This will be always considered an unforgivable sin for some players. Back in the days ,yeah i was disappointed too for the lack of zombies in Re4 but that was just the first impression ,after few hours in game i was happy about the new gameplay...to be fair i always found those flying kicks performed by Leon so out of place with the atmosphere and compared to the movements of the characters in the first three episodes (real pieces of wood), but that aside Re4 was a great game. It deserve to be in the podium with RE1 remake and re2 (both). [/QUOTE]
