What ever complaints people had about the REmake were incredibly minor. I don't remember anyone having any major complaints about the game: RE Zero got all the (valid) complaints. Hell, RE 4 was still met with near universal acclaim despite the polarizing gameplay changes, while 5 was derided, despite being essentially the exact same game, and 6 was utterly savaged by reviews and the fanbase alike. A good game is a good game, and even good games get criticism. But the level of criticism and type of criticism will always betray its overall quality. People overall liked RE2's remake. I liked it too, despite my criticisms. Game sales and general user reviews reflect the game's success. Most of the valid criticisms reflect a general trend of a game flawed in some ways, but exemplary in others, producing an overall good experience. So yes, a remake done in any of Resident Evil's styles (fixed camera and tank controls, third person behind the back, or first person shooter) would have gotten different levels of varying criticisms from some part of this series's broken fanbase, but the volume and validness of the critiques would have been based purely on the game's quality, and the criticisms that last and leave a mark on the game would have been the valid ones, not the vapid ones.
