How Resident Evil 4 Ruined Gaming Forever

#residentevil4 #reresidentevil4remake #residentevilrequiem

I'm so glad Resident Evil 4 ruined gaming forever. I mean, it barely got made after years of failed attempts, some of which became classic games in their own right, but what made Resident Evil 4 what it is--its over the shoulder camera, combat chess, its quirky tone, and its thrilling setpieces--have become the benchmark for third person action games ever since, even bleeding in first person classics like Bioshock. Resident Evil 4 may very well the most influential game of the modern era.

But was there a cost to this much influence? Considering that third person action titles have started to bleed into each other so much and failed to learn some important lessons about combat balancing and pace ever since, perhaps some damage has been done, incidental or otherwise. But is that just the price we pay for greatness?

Thanks to @underthemayo for making his very helpful video about why "Resident Evil 4 Didn't Save the Series"
