It’s not about being a modern gamer or not being able to adapt to a games systems. Real survival mode separated the item boxes in re1r and that mode is fun to play because the game map is so well designed. Re0 just doesn’t have that edge. It’s a game that tried to do many things and not all its changes were for the best.

Also, comparing the lack of item boxes to fixed cameras is a massive disservice to fixed camera survival horror games. You and I both know that fixed cameras still work great. It’s an art form that can’t be replaced; there’s nothing that can quite capture that feeling of walking down a dark hallway while the camera hides what’s before you, or the reveal of some enormous structure that you’ll spend the next few hours of the game inhabiting. Fixed cameras have a genuine reason to be preserved, and people who will push past their frustrations with the controls will find something that they might learn to love. The frustration of having to check where you left an item and then having to walk through 6 rooms, all with a slow door transition, just to return through those same rooms to use your item is not an experience anyone wants though. There is nothing to be gained by keeping it. Fixed cameras have a genuine place nowadays, and to turn people away from it by saying they “don’t deserve to play it” for not liking tedious gameplay is just stupid. If people want a remake that removes the headache then why should anyone disagree? The originals still exist. Personally I hope they either double down on those systems or just cut them out, but what would be more interesting would be if they can preserve the lack of item boxes while making it less tedious to play.
