I remember when Lost Odyssey was released, that’s Gamespot’s first argument was about. Same with turn-based battles in RPGs, a lot of worthless journalists would most likely complain about the old format. This is where the argument for modern gameplay come in. Believe it or not but the original format for RE 4 was a combination of fixed and over-the-shoulder. Tank controls and fixed camera angles were switched out for an over-the-shoulder camera. The current format for Resident Evil games started back in RE 4 - which was also a masterpiece. I know its not likely but I would love the old gameplay style to be brought back. Me being the usual wise woman realizes how difficult that would be. I’ve heard rumors that Capcom could be considering to bring back the original control scheme as a bonus mode in the remake.

Still one thing that bothered me as I played this nostalgic masterpiece was…Will the RE2 Remake completely abandoned the old tank controls and fixed camera angles? This was the first Resident Evil I played on PS2 and one of my absolute favorites. With the Resident Evil 2 Remake looming, I bought Code Veronica X recently since it was on sale in the PlayStation store.
