Over the past 5-6 years ive noticed the RE fanbase online get worse and worse, now capcom caters towards this "new" fanbase and not so much the OG trilogy fans or even the action horror fans from RE4-6. Now the games are simplified and on rails, made for speedrunners and other Twitch/yt streamers to react to. So i wouldn't expect anything good for RE's future, but anyone who enjoys a challenge and the horror genre should play the OG trilogy and the remake of the first RE game. Outbreak file 1 and 2 for the ps2 are good too.

I mean, absolutely no one can deny the atmosphere, and groundbreaking gameplay mechanics of RE4, but don't even pretend to defend the shitty standard of cartoony bullshit writing that has since become a stable of the series.

I mean, sort of, but also sort of not. There's a big difference from what 4 did and what 5 and 6 tried to do. The difference between "and then the Spanish dwarf gets a giant robot" and "flying a helicopter" or "getting in a car chase". 4 still has a distinct flavor that the later sequels increasingly don't.

The trip to apply the V Jolt in the Guardhouse basement is a microcosm of why I dislike the REmake.
In RE1, the crate bridge stays intact and it's a relatively short jog down to the Aqua Ring and around the corner to apply the V Jolt. A little annoying but not too bad.
In the REmake, the crate bridge vanishes and instead you have to go down to the bottom of the ring, back up through the control room, then over to the room with the roots. If you're playing as Jill, you then have to backtrack through all those empty rooms. It's just obnoxiously designed for no discernable reason.
The whole game is full of similar situations that turn it into a tedious chore to play and completely wreck the pacing. Most of the new content falls into that category too, like the expanded caves or the big linear path leading to the cabin that are boring as fuck and add absolutely nothing to the game except more braindead box pushing and encounters with the least threatening enemy in the game.
