It seems like Capcom's not even going to bother waiting to see if its forthcoming Resident Evil re-release is successful, as it appears to be lining up a remastered version of divisive GameCube prequel Resident Evil Zero as we type. Eagle eyed fans spotted the game's icon on a PlayStation 4 dashboard image, which the publisher is using to promote the free theme that comes with pre-orders for its aforementioned REmake retread.

You can see the full list below in chronological order of release (or thereabouts). Sure, there are some notable omissions such as Resident Evil Chronicles and Resident Evil Outbreak 1 & 2 etc. but the video does a great job of highlighting how the game’s visuals progressed over 25 years. The last game in the video showcases the Resident Evil 4 remake which released earlier this year.
Quite amazing how in late 90s those pre-rendered static backgrounds were like the bees knees. I am wondering what a game would look like today if it used the same pre-rendered backgrounds. Are we looking at photo-realistic environments or is there no need when you have games like UNRECORD using UE5?
There are plenty of Resident Evil games ripe with remake potential that Capcom is seemingly leaving on the table by choosing to focus on RE4.
I will never understand why Code Veronica has not received a Remake (Darkside Chronicles doesn’t count). Hot take here, but it’s my favorite of the games. First game where Wesker became a bamf and I always liked the music and enemy/boss variety.
Code Veronica deserved to be next in line for a remake, why people still after all these years and different platforms feel they need a RE4 remake is beyond me.
its not the people, its Capcom's greedy ass that have no appreciation for their past or their classics
the demand was high for CVX Remake even Capcom knows it
It's all about the sales and popularity bro! That's what Capcom and any other company for that matter, is going by for potential remakes.
I'd love a shadows of the damned remake, but that's never gonna happen.

There is something that can be said about fighting a boss that leaves you with cold sweats, tense muscles, and a lingering feeling of dread once the game has been put away. Resident Evil is a series that offers this in spades. For the final bosses of resident Resident Evil to be successful, those battles should be scary, exciting, look cool visually, and satisfying to blow apart."
I swear, Resident Evil bosses are like Final Fantasy bosses, "you think you defeated me? Prepared for my new form!", "Be prepared for my final form!"..
Why cant i just shoot a damn greedy CEO of a corrupt company that is manufacturing viruses?
YES!!!!
Cool. I thought they were going to wait to see how well the first RE HD remaster was going to sell, but it looks like Capcom is sprinting out the gate and are just getting RE1 and RE0 HD remasters through to PS4 owners. When is the rumored release day? The Resident Evil 1 HD remaster is out on January 20th.
SO many remasters but im somewhat happy,Imagine megaman anniversary and x hd collection?These companies are trying to retire my ps2 and gamecube. :) Please Give me Onimusha now
This is an underrated game. It's not quite as good as, say, RE2 or RE3, bur better than RE5 and RE6. Definitely worth buying day 1 for me.
good
but they should've bundle this one with RE hd remaster
