I was one of the few people who first played Eternal Darkness before playing any Resident Evil game. All i could remember when i finally got around to playing remake is of how much of a struggle it was after Eternal Darkness. The controls,camera,combat and story and voice acting sucked big time. Since then i have gained more appreciation for RE but back then going from Eternal Darkness into other horror games was rough. While Eternal Darkness has some shortcomings it was quite ambitious and was in some ways ahead of its time.
