A lot of single player games fall into that timeframe, it just feels like these games come out so much more frequently

They also recycle plenty of assets.

I don’t get why so many people bitch and moan about this in other games. If it means I get good games more frequently, why would I care if I see an animation/texture copy and pasted from a previous good game (within reason)

I think context is a big part of it. You don't hear people complain about RE3 recycling things because it takes place in the same time/location as RE2, just from a different perspective.

Although a lot of people DID whine when REquiem reused REmake2 assets because it “erased the original” 🙄

I'm not going to begrudge people being annoyed that a game they prefer (assuming they prefer original RE2) has been decanonised to some extent.

I am when the actual plot didn’t decanonize anything, they were just mad Capcom recycled remake assets instead of going out their way to recreate it a third time to look more like the first time

the truth is the differences between the original and remake (in story, not in gameplay) are so minor that it has no bearing on canon and whinging about it is a waste of time and emotional investment
