I hope a Director’s Cut mod of some kind does come to fruition one day, this game still has potential that Capcom simply cannot recognize. Yes, they do their research for the sake of being informative, but no one in their right mind is going to dock a point because they don't like Jill's new face or Nemesis doesn't chase you around like in the original, they cut content, story is different, etc. There is no prerequisite that one must play the original game before doing a review of a remake because they must be able to compare it and judge it so that they can figure out the final score. It's being reviewed for a mass audience, not Resident Evil fanboys. It's being rated as a product and not from the point of view of a fanboy with strange preferences and gripes no one cares about. Movies are timeless and remakes are treated entirely differently than video game remakes which are catered to a brand new audience who is still invested in an ongoing property due to lack of accessibility of older hardware and software.Īcknowledging the work something is based on isn't the same as judging the work on its own, judging it in comparison to the original, and then weighing the 2 and finding the medium like you did. That's not the topic nor is it relevant to how people rate video games.

No one is arguing about the quality of remakes. No, you're wrong because that's not what I said at all.īut back to the main point since you keep droning on and on about film remakes just to avoid admitting that you made a terribly hyperbolic sh*t take.
