8 Popular Video Games That Need To Go Back To Their Roots

8. Resident Evil (Numbered Instalments)

Resident Evil 7 was a strong step towards a brighter Resident Evil future, but if the second game's remake has taught us anything, it's that there's a demand to see the classic Resident Evil experience make its long-awaited return.

Exploring the HD halls of Racoon City Police Department was a moment that, for the first time in years, highlighted that there was unprecedented life in Resident Evil. More importantly, it amade it evidently clear that the game had scares that trumped even some of the most innovative modern horror games in the genre.

It was proof that time still hasn't nulled how genuinely scary zombies, monsters and evil laboratories can be when done right. From the claustrophobic, confined corridors to the ever-looming, utterly imposing presence of the Tyrant; every aspect of Resident Evil 2 showed that the series could not only still hang in terms of gameplay, but also still send shivers down the spine of anyone who played it.

Moving forward, this is the interpretation of Resident Evil that Capcom should be following. Bring back the over-the-shoulder camera, the tense puzzle-solving and the challenging survival horror. There's clearly life in the classic Resident Evil experience, and Capcom would be missing a massive opportunity in not chasing it.
