I play horror type games to be scared, though, and I adored the atmosphere in those older games. But after 2005, Capcom just messed up the series. It doesn't even have anything to do with the camera angles either. I'm able to adapt, but they're just not games I can identify with any longer.
No offense to users who like RE6 or any of the action heavy sequels, but that run and gun hockum deviated the series away from the core beginnings. The same with 4 and 5. But I am not going to totally dismiss them and say people cannot still enjoy them. But they just aren't horror games. That's the thing.
If I wanted action, I would play an action game. Once RE became that, it was all but ruined. Then with RE7, I could see Capcom was once again copying trends, since first person games were becoming increasingly popular, especially around the time that Silent Hills was cancelled. But they at least made it horror.
I'm not a big fan of 7, but it was a great effort. When 8 came out, they went backwards again. But 7 sucks because of how they made Chris look nothing like Chris, and Ethan is so bland. I do think they could have not hidden his face, the way they did.
But I don't like the remakes or most of the other trash they release, like these movies and online games, and mobile games. They've really kept on milking RE, and I hate the fact they go back to 1998 so many times. These days, I don't even like to talk about it on other forums, as you can tell they are populated by arse lickers, and even YouTubers lie through their teeth, just for the sponsorship. They're likely to deny that, but it's the truth.
YouTube was better when users could just be honest, and not go around saying things that are asked of you for a juicy pay packet, or a free copy. That's false. That's being dictated to.
