The only thing I can attribute it to is 2005 is around the time that gaming started to become highly popularized, very mainstream, it was a less nerdy activity and the hot button game doing it at the time happened to be Resident Evil 4. It's not responsible for it in any capacity, it simply popularized it because it was riding on a wave of mainstream gaming indoctrination. Hell, Resident Evil 4 isn't even the first "survival horror" to do this, The Thing did it three years earlier in 2002... and that was actually a survival horror game... I'm sure something else did it even before that which was horror based... This is either really elaborate bait, or you're delusional to the point where its not even worth debating you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What opinions? That developers source their material and game systems from other games? What a shocking revelation Jerry. Resident Evil 4 didn't do anything that hadn't already been done, get over it. Edited February 18, 2019 by DynamiteCop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're trying too hard to latch onto one game, it was an example of a survival horror game and just a game in general which pre-dates Resident Evil 4 and has an over the shoulder camera. You know, the one thing it supposedly pioneered... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know, the one thing it supposedly pioneered... No, you just tried to make an argument about a video copying another video game. It has no actual aiming because its auto-aim. It has no actual zooming, you lose absolutely no perspective whatsoever, which is the main reason for it creating tension. Don't take my word's for it, take the definitive review of RE4 by Greg Kasavin back in 2005: Quote Resident Evil 4 is presented in cinematic widescreen, so if you have a standard television set, you'll view the action in letterbox format. This not only contributes to the game's movielike feel, but it also gives you some much-needed peripheral vision of your surroundings. You view the action from behind Leon, and the perspective zooms in to a close, over-the-shoulder view when you ready a weapon, which you can easily aim using its laser sight. Realistically, Leon doesn't have a perfectly steady hand when aiming, but since most of the combat occurs in brutal close quarters, you don't usually need pinpoint accuracy to get the job done. You cannot move and fire at the same time, nor can you strafe from side to side as you can in a typical shooter, though Resident Evil 4 plays very much like a shooter otherwise. The zoomed view while aiming works great for drawing a bead on your enemies, but you naturally lose some of your situational awareness in the process, because you can see more of your periphery when you're not aiming at what's in front of you. This dynamic has an exceptional way of heightening tension, since your foes love trying to surround you. They move and behave with frightening realism in the context of the game, Edited February 18, 2019 by jehurey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Congratulations on emboldening trash First smart thing you've done, is learn to cut and run. Remember that next time you THINK about typing something as stupid on the level as "RE4 steals ideas that were already done in The Thing video game." If you notice, nobody came to your aid with that one. When the dog takes a shit on the carpet, you rub his nose in that shit. Which is what I just did to you.

McWicked 825 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Guys, guys...this thread isn't really about RE4. It's about Deeno and Remij having a safe space to run off to because Crapdown 3 flopped and the last time they felt good about themselves was a thread where they could shit on one of the greatest games of all time.
