That was a trick that Resident Evil games used countless times during the series’ earlier years, and each time to great effect. You’d be walking down a hallway, and though you could hear something shuffling around or growling close by, the camera would ensure that you couldn’t see it until you got much closer to it, and that, combined with the purposefully impeded movement brought about by tank controls would lead to genuine moments of fear. At a time when Resident Evil was defined by slow, deliberate gameplay and methodical exploration and puzzles, fixed cameras served as the perfect foil for what Capcom was trying to achieve with those games. RE 0 is much more divisive, but still a solid game in its own right.Ĭlearly, the fixed cameras era of Resident Evil isn’t lacking in highs- and that style of game design has some very clear advantages that suit the survival horror genre perfectly. Resident Evil 3 and Code – Veronica are excellent games that fans of the series hold very dear in their hearts. Resident Evil 1, its remake, and Resident Evil 2 are genre-defining survival horror titles. Given the fact that the series started off with fixed cameras and delivered not only some of its own highlights, but also among the best horror games ever made, there’s little doubt that there’s a massive number of Resident Evil fans who still feel like fixed camera RE games are the best kind of RE games. Over the course of twenty five years and dozens upon dozens of games, Capcom’s survival horror series has had three very unique and equally successful eras, each offering completely different kinds of experiences with their own merits and demerits.Īnd of course, the question that series fans often ask themselves and each other is- which of those is the best? Fixed cameras, third person, and first person are three very distinct styles and flavours of Resident Evil, and neither of them has any shortage of people who swear by them. It’s hard to think of another major video game franchise that has radically and successfully reinvented itself as many times as Resident Evil.
