Mar 12th 2009 3:17PM (Joystiq)I am an arcade gamer at heart, so Capcom is one of my favorite gaming companies of all time. I do enjoy a Resident Evil now and again. However, back when I was playing games really hardcore, half of the fun of the game was learning the different gameplay style. Games once differentiated themselves from each other by having different control methods, and different levels of difficulty. Most of the fun was derived from seeing just how good you could get in a certain game.
...to which I say - what's the point if everything controlled like CoD4 or Gears of War? It's just like playing those games over again with different graphics. Gamers nowadays are unwilling to adapt to new playstyles and experiences. If Street Fighter wasn't already an established franchise, people would hate SF4 for being "so much harder than other fighters". It's a double standard, really.
I, for one, am going to have a lot of fun with RE4 on Friday, regardless of what people choose to nitpick about. I'd much rather play THIS than a re-skinned CoD clone anyway.
