The atmosphere still holds up incredibly well. The combat feels stiff by any modern standard though.

About Resident Evil

Attacked by bizarre and vicious dogs, alpha team members Chris and Jill manage to escape to a mysterious mansion in the middle of the forest. The horrors they encounter there are far greater than anyone might have foreseen...

Yo también noto el combate rígido pero para mí eso obliga a pensar antes de disparar, y esa lentitud es justo lo que sostiene la tensión, ¿no creen que un combate más fluido rompería el equilibrio del juego?
Pacheco72
cual te dio mas miedo real, el combate tosco o la camara fija? pq para mi el ranking deberia pesar eso mas que el pulido
NeonMaster51
Same here, the stiffness never bothered me much, the atmosphere carried every session I put in.
CoopPhoenix
Honestly this still deserves way more respect than it gets in duels

Only put in maybe fifteen hours total across a couple sessions but that was enough to get why people call it foundational, the mansion design alone (still think about that layout sometimes) does more with less than most modern horror games manage.
FramePlayer
Fifteen hours and you already miss the mansion layout? What does that tell you about pacing in newer horror titles?

Quince horas y ya siente el peso del diseño, A MÍ me pasó algo parecido con menos tiempo aún.

rz, este va de tensión pura y RE4 va de ritmo y acción, comparalos es raro pero bueno la gente insiste

People act like tank controls ruin it. They don't, they were designed around that exact camera system.
TurboBard2
Les tank controls fonctionnaient avec cette caméra, oui, mais face à ce qu'offre Resident Evil 4 en fluidité, la nostalgie du système ne suffit pas à le sauver.

Never finished it, just a few sessions years back, still remember the tension

J'ai jamais tenu plus de deux sessions non plus, mais je me souviens surtout d'avoir eu peur d'avancer dans le couloir suivant, un soir de semaine tranquille chez moi.
