One thing that has appeared in Resident Evil of late - I first noticed it in Remake HD (can't remember if it was in the Gamecube version) - is the map telling you when you have cleared a room or not.

To me, part of the reason that made the early game locations so iconic and memorable is the fact that this feature didn't exist. So when we are stuck on a certain part of the game we had to go through all the rooms again and again on the off-chance you missed a key item until we knew the place like the back of our hand.

In some of the most recent games (including 8) as soon as the map is no longer red, you can leave the room and forget about it for the rest of the game. It seems like this was just created as an anti-frustration feature for newer players to the series.

It may just be me, and it probably seems like a small gripe, but I would at least want the option to turn it off.
