File 2, on the other hand, takes Outbreak's already completely revamped control scheme and refines it to near-perfection. It played like a first-person shooter where the player can't sidestep or move while shooting. Leon could still only run straight ahead and turn slowly, but no one noticed because the camera was anchored behind the player's back. While RE4's control scheme was fantastic, it wasn't fundamentally different from Resident Evil 3's-the only additions were manual aiming and clear context-sensitive actions. This is the control scheme that critics of the series have been demanding all along, and they were right to ask for it. To say that it's been improved doesn't really go far enough. Which one of them really deserved to pick up the mantle and continue the numbering? I feel it's Outbreak.įirst, there's the control scheme. Outbreak got the feel of the series, RE4 got to continue the plot. Rather than a spin-off like the Gun Survivor titles, Outbreak represented the point where the series split into two separate franchises. Resident Evil 4 was not really Resident Evil 4 (RE4).
