Impressing you but you spent the whole topic complaining about their follies?
I don't think RE4 needs a remake, beyond the fact it's one of the greatest games of all time and it wouldn't hurt to expose the newer generation of gamers to it. It looks and feels relatively modern. I played a lot of RE1-2 back in the day because of my cousin, but survival-horror was never really my jam personally and even I was blown away by RE4 when it came out. Dunno why I bought it in the first place, but I'm glad I did. Admittedly, RE4 downplays the horror aspect of the franchise quite a bit and pushed it into more of an Action genre direction, but it nonetheless was a hell of a game and pioneered non-first-person shooter mechanics.
Now the RE movies definitely never felt like they belonged to the Resident Evil franchise to me, so I stopped being interested in them the moment my uncle stopped dragging me to see them. They're just like the most generic of generic action movies with a couple thin references to major RE elements to justify the name. RE7 was kind of a reboot for the franchise after the franchise strayed too far from its horror origins that started in RE4, so I get why the more recent releases don't contain a lot of old-school elements or classic lore. I don't have much of an opinion on the newer games since I'm not super interested in getting back into the franchise either way, as I was always rather on the outside and just thought RE4 was a standout individually. I did hear RE7 was great in VR.
