RE4 basically invented the over the shoulder Third Person Shooter genre, or at least set the standard for the boom that would follow with Gears of War (and then Uncharted and shit like that).

That game is influential precisely for the non-horror parts. It's really not a particularly scary game nor does it push the survival-horror genre in any way besides blending it with action games instead (making the "horror" more of a setting genre than a gameplay genre).

Suffice to say I'm not surprised at Capcom's decision to focus on what separated RE4 from its predecessors than what they had in common. If RE5 and 6 had been single player games I bet they would have been a lot more popular among the hardcore single player crowd.
