Its definitely no nostalgia, I've played RE4 lately. And I think it IS better. Its slower paced, that makes the dated controls less obvious. QTE's are better, as are the bosses.
RE5 is set-piece after set-piece and areas are all a one time visit, making them much smaller in reality. Here you are walking through an african village, and all of a sudden you'll be crossing a marshland and then visiting an underground city. Its almost tomb raider underworld. RE4 had less settings, but all of them were pretty complex.
RE4 had also much better character development, you saw conversations of some enemies and also conversations with Hunnigan. In RE5, they appear when they are about to die. You also had the scope, it was useless but you could see the locals doing their daily job until you got close. Those kind of things are lacking in RE5. It set the atmosphere of the game in a very smart way. Here, those guys simply spawn as madmen.
RE4 is so much more brilliant, i'm pretty damn sure of it. Is it the touch of Mikami? Although he could be accused of being irrational, he was absolutely not interested in RE5. He said he would do it different.
