Because sometimes great gameplay comes from restraint and restrictions. Ghould n'ghosts gets stick for not allowing the player to move when they jump but this mechanic means every jump is a commitment that needs to be carefully calculated. Same with old resident evil. Tank controls make the combat awkward but also adds to the game as combat is something you want to avoid especially at close range.
If you are jumping around like a special forces ninja then the enemies are no longer scary and you end up with something like Resi 4 where the number and intensity of enemies is ramped up but you lose that element of horror.... or like Resi 6 where they make a complete ballocks of it.

Well if they're going to go with 3rd person then might as well go all in. In for a penny in for a pound. And as you say, with enemies being so easy to get around with the new control scheme, it wouldn't be that ridiculous.
LOL, you mean the POLICE MAN and orphan biker chick who conceal carries and was taught to fight by her swat team brother. I think you're reaching a bit there. Need I remind you this is the series where we have a crack squad of special forces consisting of decorated air force sharpshooters, helicopter mechanic medics and delta force burglars all before they were 18! I think giving our heroes some new moves wouldn't be out of the realm of this world's "realism".
How dare you, I bought my RE1 and every other off the shelf and have earned my right to an opinion. I've been playing RE since some of the people in this thread were even born probably.
Its a dumb idea as you cant do it in real life, you could, but you run the risk of jump/sliding into glass/walls/corners of tables/lockers etc, which would ****ing wreck, heck you could knock yourself out. Also, doing it constantly and you would be ****ing knackered and constantly out of breath. The characters are highly trained and know this, so they don't do it

Yes, a rookie cop and a trained twenty-something, neither of which have ever seen anything like zombies and enormous mutants before. As Retro said, the whole point of what makes the old games tick is the fact you are both restricted AND in claustrophobic areas where you have to make use of the little space and tools given to avoid intimidating enemies casually walking towards you - and the remake was entirely faithful to this (just modernized). Even the camera angles are meticulously designed in a way to keep you from ever knowing what is waiting around that corner. Why would you fear it then if you can sprint around a corner and dodge back, or be safe in the knowledge that attacks could be dodged in some way even if you do run full-pelt right into danger? Those are the reasons Resident Evil 4, 5 and 6 (the action games) are not in the slightest bit scary, throwing away those fear elements in a sea of QTEs or dodges or counter-attacks and animation-immunities that caused the divide which eventually led to 'getting back to roots' in the first-place. Even RE7 went back to basics and it would not have been as widely praised otherwise.
I love almost all the Resident Evil's, even the action ones, but there is absolutely nothing to be gained by breaking RE2's tone with action moves of any description and it would most certainly not feel like RE2 any more. They were survival horror titles. That stopped with RE4 and the success of Action Man Leon. That Leon was NOT the same Leon who was waiting to do his very first day as a Cop before finding himself in a zombie hell.
I actually would welcome another action man leon game if it was as well designed as RE4 was. That game is just insanely good. Fantastic level and game design and bosses. It had the pace of a great 16 bit action game.
That was all lost with RE 5 and 6. Everyone that made RE4 great moved to clover and platinum and a lot of their best games still carry that pace and design that RE4 had.
RE2 and recent Capcom output have seen them really knock it out of the park and they are back to knowing how to make amazing Japanese style games again. I think this new Capcom could do another Resi 4 properly. Also really looking forward to what they do with Devil May Cry.

I get what you are saying because I too loved Resi 4. However Resi 4 never had me scream at the slightest sound or make me jump out of my chair when a licker screamed right next to me causing me to move a little to fast and then just terror as I tried to run away because If it was Resi 4 I would be shooting to stun and kicking/thowing/krauser knife/arm with the invincibility frames that brings. It would change the whole feel of the game for the worse imo.
This game is the perfect mix of action and horror as far as I'm concerned.
Not saying it should be more like Resi 4. I think both types of games can exist side by side and I'd like another in the vein of Resi 4. Would just love an action game that's as good as it and not another chest high wall inspector simulator.
