RE: Horror Game Reviews: Resident Evil 2 (An absolute classic example of the horror/survival genre.)
I think i seriously enjoy the older resident evil games better then the new ones. Although 7 was pretty good in terms of story line but its was totally different from what they normally do. The series and even movies really took a turn I didn't care much for.
I think that is a pretty popular opinion, honestly. Once we got to Resident Evil 4, the series become a whole new beast entirely and focused more on the action genre than horror. Resident Evil 5 was even further away from what the series was at it's core, and Resident Evil 6 was an abomination as far as I'm concerned.
7 was a step in the right direction, but definitely was still quite different at the same time. I was happy with it though, and it showed that the essence of the series isn't dead yet. I'm hoping that at some point in the near future we will get a game more in line with the older entries, but I guess we'll see.
And, the movies aren't even a part of the series in my mind, lol. I can't even relate the two anymore, because the movies are so shlocky and ridiculous and don't stick with anything from the lore really. I enjoyed the first movie for what it was, and the second film is kind of a guilty pleasure for me. But, it starts getting really, really ridiculous after those two. The "final" film they put out was just so god damn silly that I couldn't even enjoy it at all though. (And, I find it hilarious that they're planning on doing a whole new live action series of Resident Evil Films right after the "final" one was released. How long can you beat on an undead horse for?"
