As someone was saying on another forum, RE has become unscary because they keep using the same characters.
One of the reasons RE7 is like the old horror games is because an ordinary guy shows up and gets into a whole world of trouble. The STARS and BSAA people, etc, are way too prepared for bioweapons, that the games and films are just explosive, fast paced and cheesy. They've basically battled zombies and bigger creatures for years. But it's always creepy when you try new things, with a different character, if it involves a feeling of isolation.
Of course, RE always seems to pivot back to action anyway. LOL. Because RE7 has DLC where an old man related to one of the possessed family members, can do powerbomb attacks on mould monsters, occupying a swamp. And Chris Redfield has a chapter to himself where he fights them too.
The one storyline I long for Capcom to get back to is the one about Natalia being controlled by Alex. I could see her being the new antagonist of the series if they allow it to happen. But with all these remakes, Hollywood movies and stuff, they always quietly move on and leave many things unresolved. And that's because they tend to focus on the same characters in loosely connected storylines that don't add up. So a lot of things is forgotten about.
