Unfortunatelly the past is in the past. Despite I think no modern REs will probably never beat my top-tiers among the classics, I'm still able to enjoy new games for what they are and have a lot of fun playing them.
And they also have a great advantage: they are NEW. Replaying games you liked is good, but it won't be the same feeling anymore, once you know a game by memory, which basically kills a great part of the survival horror experience for me; so because of that I think a brand new adventure where I have no clue on what's going to happen is better than replaying the same game for the 10th or the 20th time.
I allways wait two years or more to replay a game so I can give my brain some time to forget some things so I won't have to play like an automaton who remembers everything that'll come in the next room and everything that has to be done. That gives more tension, unpredictability, and the need of a bit of improvisation and adaptation, which is a closer feeling to a survival experience, though it's still far from being the same as a first-time playthrough.
