If we start going down this road, where does it end? Let's hope remastered version of remakes - or vice versa - doesn't become another trend.
REmake kept the original style adding new flavour and graphics, Resident Evil 2 is a complete modernisation. Which remake style is superior?
The GameCube remake was stunning for its time but the new modernisation efforts are breathing some much-needed life into the older games.
I loved the GC remake back in 2000-whatever. But I tried replaying it recently and just couldn't deal with the door loading sequences.
Have I been spoilt by modern games? Probably.
@Babadook7 - imagine an updated Resident Evil or Tomb Raider with tank controls? you can't walk and turn at the same time. It would be ridiculous to play.
Both are fantastic but the old style controls and the half way house attempt to modernize them in remake both feel extremely dated now. Taking away your preference for the various settings and characters, the recent remakes are objectively better games.
I think anyone voting for REmake is simply doing it out of nostalgia. No way a new young gamer is going to pick that over the new ones. I couldn't even get my son to play the game for more than an hour.
Nope. REmake has a totally different vibe, feel and tension that the newer remakes can't replicate due to the camera angle. Yes the original fixed camera was used for technical reason but at the same time, they created a feeling of dread not knowing what was around the corner. You simply don't get that with a third person camera as great as the third person RE games are.
Depends what sort of experience you're looking for. If you enjoy the old fixed camera OG style then REmake is to me the pinnacle of the form. Incredible atmosphere, visual style and a fantastic revision of Resident Evil 1 with additions that feel completely seamless. Resident Evil 2 Remake in an excellent update (especially running with the IMO vastly superior original RE2 soundtrack) with the benefits of modern design but I still prefer the original game.. it didn't "overwrite" that experience in my mind the way REmake felt like it became the definitive RE1 experience.
Capcom has been bringing Resident Evil fans on a trip down memory lane since 2019, but that nostalgic adventure will have to come to an end soon.
Well, we still have a few that people are asking for: Resident Evil Code Veronica, Resident Evil Outbreak and Resident Evil 5. People aren't really asking for 6 or the others but they could potentially tackle some of the least liked entries to "fix" them.
I feel this way about all remakes but its simply not true in the sense that fans still crave more remakes even when you get into the messier games like 5. If it gives them more time to craft mainline entry rather than rush I am not against it
That doesn't matte. RE7 and Village was ok. They can contunie the way, with em or with that style..
Haha just ok ? I think they were wonderful, especially RE7. A goddamn horror masterpiece.
Absolutely, and what an incredible wild ride in VR! I've never felt so nervous in a horror game than being there, running, hiding in the shadows. What a rush 😆
Code Veronica is the next obvious remake imo.
Arguably 0 and 1 but they've already had HD touchups which are currently more than enough. Again, in my opinion.
Code Veronica
Then an expanded remake of the first game (it’s been 20 years since the original remake)
Then after that they can do Outbreak
They have a few to keep them going but if they do RE5 this is where they need to change things. I want it to be like the original reveal trailer where it was just Chris going’s solo, a single player survival horror game. They even spoke of things like heat exhaustion and being blinded by the sunlight if you stepped outside after spending too long in doors.
Yes, it would be nice to see big changes for RE5. And RE6, but that one goes without saying.
Honestly, but the time they've finished making the remakes AND putting out new entries in the series, they'll probably start remaking them all over again lol
I think at that point they’ll just reboot
I wouldn’t mind
We love the characters but you can’t keep them around, they are aging so if they reboot with a similar story but update the Arklay Mountains incident to the 2020s or something they can keep them around
With some of the franchise's best games already being remade, Capcom may be running out of Resident Evil games that fans want to revisit.
Really though?
After they gave RE3 to their second team and it didn’t so well fan reception wise compared to the RE2 remake they took the RE4 remake off them and gave it to the main team.
My point is that if they stick to their main team and they remade the first Resident Evil again (it’s been over 20 years now), Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil Code Veronica then you have a solid 3 games to get through. Each game would take about 3 years or so, making that 9 years before they face any issue and by then who knows they’ll hopefully use the remake timeline to just redo RE5 and change the story to softboot the entire franchise.
They should give their second team RE Outbreak and just focus their online efforts into that instead
“remake they took the RE4 remake off them and gave it to the main team.”
When did the RE3 team ever have RE4 to work on? RE2 devs worked on it since that remake was ending its development around when RE4 remake’s began
Urm…

M-two we’re the co-developer of RE3
RE3 remake wasn't bad by any means. It was just incomplete. They cut out some of the most iconic areas of the game. What they kept it, they did really well.
I didn’t like it. I didn’t get passed the first hour or 2, it was very cinematic and boring. I was watching for most of time I played.
I played the hell out of the re2 remake until I got 100 percent.
Even if they’re running out of RE games there’s still the Dino Crisis series they can use
Code Veronica would benefit the most there. I recently replayed it, and I think it's the RE game that's aged the worst. Giving it the remake treatment to fix its problems would turn it into a whole other experience.
I feel like CV aged bad on release , I was decent but compared to the first 3 games it was the worst to me .. it definitely needs a remake
🤦♂️ seriously?! I’m loving the REmakes myself, but it’s not a problem at all. Once they run out, Capcom will do what it’s been doing, making brand new RE games. As lucrative as it is, and cool that they’re making a more cohesive feeling universe, the remakes aren’t the future of the franchise.
Here's the state of the industry.
Being worried there might not be enough content to resell to us again.
Imagine actually just making solid new titles. They're already "remaking" Horizon Zero Dawn. This crap is getting way overboard.
I'd rather they remake this... remake than make another game in the series right now. I hope this leads to a reboot.
if you don't want a remake, don't buy it. simple.
People have been asking for this though...
I'd rather take this then RE7
Problem is I'm scared Capcom or going to try and change stuff around in the HD remake which makes it more like RE5/RE6 and more "accessible".
A remake of a remake of a remake, yea yea yea...
But honestly if I had to choose a new game following the original Resident evil formula then he'll yea I rather a new game, but if it's between a resident evil remake or a new action suspense dead space 3 type of game... man please give me a remake of the last of us resident evil tombraider halo and every other proven classic game released, wether it's a old or recent classic..
While I'm at it give me a uncharted trilogy, beyond 2 souls, heavy rain, heavenlly sword, south park stick of truth and a gears of war trilogy remaster aswell!!!
its not a remake of a remake dumb**s, its a remake
