And playing through Resident Evil 4, granted I was playing the remake, but I was just struck over and over again by how much Gears of War owes to Resident Evil 4 specifically.

Like so much.

There are these bosses that can only hear you.

Just even the way Leon moves.

The whole feeling of kind of...

reduced mobility, tactical decision making, the kind of slow grenades.

Just everything is very slow, but also enemies are pretty slow.

So you have more time than you think to react.

I really like that headspace and like it even more now.

I went back actually and played a little bit of this Raccoon City Outskirts part after having played a bunch of Resident Evil 4.

And I was like, oh man, I love this now.

I feel at home.

This is so cool.

So I like it even more now maybe than I did, but I enjoyed it plenty when I played it.

I have played it, actually.

I played the original the first few hours.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

And actually, and I'm playing, I just started playing Resident Evil 1 as well, which has, you know, tank controls.

And actually, it's not just the tank controls.
