I don't know why all you guys have soooo much trouble with cinematic camera angles. I had far, far more trouble playing RE4 because of Leon's head and body constantly blocking about 30% of my view, and because of the forced letterboxes blocking, say, THE GOD DAMN BEARTRAPS I KEPT STEPPING ON. This means that compared to other REs, RE4 blocks at least 50% of the viewpoint that you SHOULD have. Maybe more. I could analyze a still shot and do the math, but nah. The GUI blocks a little bit more, and that thing has no place in an RE game. Yet another reason why RE4 has no atmosphere to enjoy.

It's easily the worst in the series, and no one can change my mind. But thanks about backing up my claims as a fair mod.

You're discrediting Re4 for terrible camera angles yet you have no gripes with re 1 2 3 etc? What!? The lack of camera control is exactly what made the other games control terribly, leave so much out of sight, and ultimately make them more frustrating than exciting. Re4 finally took away this stupid fixed camera and brought he series back to the triple A franchise that it was. Also, You could totally see those bear traps, I have no clue what you are talking about.

The camera and letterboxes are cutting off the bottom 2-4 feet of Leon's body, depending on your actions. The bear traps are like 4 inches tall. You CANT see them without actually stopping and using the C-Stick to aim the camera. Even then, you still don't always see enough, and can still step on the damn things. If the game didn't force letterboxes down your throat, there would be no trouble with them.

As for everything else you said, I've explained why it's all wrong in prior posts. You joined late.
