This blog post will provide an overview of the conceptual and technical changes occurring in the AAA video game, Resident Evil 5. The blog post will examine and discuss how and where Resident Evil 5 progresses from a cliched "run and gun" style to becoming a mindful strategy-based horror game with one central focus: immersion. The article will also introduce an overhauled iteration of the Resident Evil series, which is credited with transforming it from a conventional "horror" title to what is presently perceived as "survival horror." In addition to providing commentary on both games, it also elaborates upon the most significant changes made within each title. Over the years, the Resident Evil series has endured its fair share of criticism. The original Resident Evil was not well received in North America, prompting many gamers to consider the game "unplayable". Resident Evil 4 was praised for completely revamping the system by implementing a free-flowing control scheme. Despite these recent changes, Capcom created another title that is commonly considered "unplayable" due to its awkward style of play. The original version of Resident Evil 5 ignored recent advancements in gameplay mechanics that have been established since the release of Resident Evil 4. The over-the-shoulder camera angle, while useful in combat situations, did not successfully cater to co-operative gameplay. In addition, the gameplay was a poor fit for a horror title. As seen in the Resident Evil 5 concept video, Capcom sought to remedy this issue by incorporating what they believed to be the most essential elements of survival-horror game design. This is where Resident Evil 5 differs from modern iterations of the series. Capcom wanted to incorporate elements of First Person Shooter (FPS) gameplay while simultaneously introducing innovative new features that incorporate different play styles than had been seen before. Capcom collaborated with various gaming companies under the alias "Projector Software" in order to bolster their graphics engine expertise. This gave Capcom more modern graphics on par with that of other modern games on the market at the time, just on smaller consoles. Many of the features that had been absent from recent Resident Evil titles were incorporated into Resident Evil 5. This includes a new control system that was more suitable to combat and co-operative gameplay. These features, as well as some new ones, helped to improve on some of the main points of criticism on past entries in the series. The developers also reworked and expanded on some of the existing gameplay mechanics and changed several key gameplay concepts. Rather than having a completely over-the-shoulder perspective, Capcom opted for a third person perspective with a slight zoomed-in effect to maintain an accurate idea of depth. The over-the-shoulder camera angle is still available as a player chooses to use it, along with some other enhanced options. The first person view opens up a new handful of gameplay options and provides a new level of immersion. The addition of a "Aim Down Sight" function allows the player to zoom in on hostile targets nearby the player. This is especially useful for being able to target specific areas quickly and accurately during combat situations. In addition, the ability to lock on to targets makes precision shots possible from afar rather than having to be directly behind an enemy. In previous Resident Evil games, enemies would sometimes spot the player from afar before they could even shoot at them from close range. 81eaaddfaf 59
