See I don't think it deserves overrated, the game still holds up well even today, its innovation is huge too spawning games like dead space and gears of war, I get that it helped ruin RE franchise with 5,6 but capcom at least brought it back, people say the game isn't horror enough but the horror in this game is so unique that its a different kind of horror not a city or police station of mansion but an old village (which I think is the best part of the game)
I can agree with that. I love the Dead Space games (for the most part). RE4 influenced a lot of people including Neil Druckmann for The Last of us. So it has something good going for it. To me it is just sad that this revolutionary change of style completely devoured the old games and they were never to be seen again. Sadly they didn't even have a fixed camera option for RE2Remake, but I guess the game wouldn't work with fixed camera angles anyways.
