Assuming the teaser demo isn’t just some weird self-contained thing like PT was supposedly going to be, I wouldn’t really call it a return to form for Resident Evil.
It’s a totally different kind of horror, more in line with Outlast and other “helpless protagonist” horror games. It’s fair to say that there was probably too much of the big dumb action flick sequences in the later RE games, but what we’ve seen so far is going too far in the other direction.
I don’t get it. How can people hate rehashes and tired bored remakes/sequels of the same games but at the same time be upset when someone tries to take a risk and try something new. Like that’s my biggest beef with E3. Everyone doing boring sequels. But at least God of War and Resident Evil are making sequels while trying something different. You can’t say you hate repetitiveness and change. Does anyone remember how shitty Resident Evil 6 was? Are you honestly saying “Its not like 4,5, and 6. It’s a different kind of horror so its dumb.”? It’s a survival horror game. Not everyone is going to be Leon or Jill. Trained people stuck in scary situations.
Jesus Christ people make up your minds.
