It's hard not to get stale after so many games though.
Very much stale at this point. RE started the whole survival horror genre and it is so far away from that at this point.
Capcom, want to please the fans?
Tank controls.
Item chest.
Complex puzzles.
T-Virus zombies.
Done.
If they won't do a true RE in the main canon, do Outbreak 3. I HATE they took those servers down.
