Can't say I've ever played a RE game for it's story. I agree about the characters though but it still offers a great atmosphere and the player switching and item dropping adds a nice new element to the game without messing with the core gameplay.
A remake of a remake, Capcom really have gone down the ******
It's just bringing a game that was only released on a old console that didn't sell nearly as well as it deserved to to the latest generation of hardware. Capcom would be idiots not to.
Wouldn't get too excited tbh, they are basically giving us a HD port of Resident Evil Rebirth from the Gamecube, I highly doubt that they will give 2 and 3 proper remakes. I hope they do, but I think this is just going to be another Resident Evil 4 job.
