Resident Evil 4 influenced just about every modern game. Gears of War would have been another first person shooter without Resident Evil 4. But I do agree that it is more horror action than survival horror. Only the first and some of the second section are survival horror. Once you reach the island with the mercenaries it's full on action for the most part.
I too don't like the Umbrella foot note at the beginning of the game. I think the animated movies added a bit to the stories. I can't remember much about those. I think I watched one or two of those. I have a few more to catch up on.
I do agree that Code Veronica was good. They should remake that.
