Naughty Dog get a lot of guff from people, who say they make movie games.
Honestly. They haven't let me down. Their games are stunning to play and even to look at. I actually think (and I hate to say it), they did a better job than Capcom has over the past several years. Although maybe comparing these two different companies in an apples and oranges kind of way is peculiar.
Not that Capcom is bad all the time, but they have gotten so money hungry.
I think it is fine as it is. It came out in 2002 so it is a bit old now, sure. But I remember when the HD version came out, it made a profit.
Even RE4 was fine and did not need to be remade. Although they altered the controls in the ports. The original game is fine, besides being unable to move and shoot concurrently. It didn't really have to be remade, but I know Capcom wanted to make more money, as they know RE4 is the most acclaimed game in the whole franchise, I suppose.
The thing with RE9 and the animated movies and all that, is that Leon, Chris and the others are too used to bioweapons. So by having them return in newer entries, the vibes are not particularly of a scary tone. They're now very OP in terms of their heroic efforts, so the games have diminished a lot in terms of the scare factor. Which I dislike.
