Capcom Should Just Remake Resident Evil 5 While They're At It

Following the success of Resi 4, Resident Evil 5 represents arguably the most interesting chance to redo a Resident Evil game since the GameCube.

[-Foxtrot]

Code Veronica first
Then the original RE
Then RE 0
Then Outbreak

After that RE5…as long as they change it heavily and remove co-op so people playing solo aren’t plagued with a bad AI, less tension, scares and awful “work together to open this door” parts.

[jaymacx]

I agree 100% I do think Capcom has found the right formula for RE now.

[-Foxtrot]

And it would be a damn shame for them to do RE5 exactly how it was where history would repeat its self

Then next thing you know we’ll have another RE6

Just sad people asking for co-op when they knew what happened

Ask for an Outbreak game where co-op makes sense rather than cramming it into a main game where the horror/survival elements were sucked out

[Asplundh]

5 > all of those

[thesoftware730]

Yes!!!

5 was my favorite besides RE1; Remake(pure bliss at the time)

[-Foxtrot]

Code Veronica was better that RE5

It actually felt more like a RE game

Not just an action co-op game where the series started to go downhill

[cammers1995]

5 was trash.

[gangsta_red]

Code Veronica absolutely, the original RE has already had a remake tho, I like to think that is what kicked off the RE Remake craze.

RE 0 needs to be done just as bad as Code Veronica.

Outbreak is a must, especially with online being a standard. Back when it first came out, having an online connection to your PS2 was a rare commodity

[-Foxtrot]

It’s been 20 years since the original RE and if they work on it now or do Code Veronica next it’ll be like 25 years or so before we get it

Plenty of time to re-do it

[gleepot]

Re1 was remade 20 years ago, it didn't kick off anything.

Re7 was the first game to use the RE engine, which then was used to remake 2.

[gangsta_red]

"Re7 was the first game to use the RE engine, which then was used to remake 2."

And they went with a remake of part 2 because they already remade the first Resident Evil.

[thesoftware730]

I would like the straight jump to 5 please.

They did, 2, 3, 4. ..lets not break the pattern.

[AnotherGamer]

I think they should leave Re remake and Zero alone, they're still perfectly fine. Re5 on the other hand, needs a major makeover.

[goldwyncq]

Do CV then 5. The first RE already got a remake that still holds up well and I don’t care much about the other 2.

[NovusTerminus]

I just want Co-op in the Mercs mode.

[gleepot]

CV first would be great. No thanks to outbreak or zero.

5 is one of the greatest co-op games ever made, but we live in different times now where couch co-op doesn't really exist and integrating online play would be a mess.

But AI co-op should remain. The AI in re4make is great. I do hope the focus is on horror, though. The same tone as re4make would be perfect.

[Starman69]

Code Veronica still my fav 👌

[Neonridr]

I agree that we need remakes of 0, 1 and Code Veronica before we start getting to any of the newer stuff. Code Veronica is probably the most hurting for a remake.

[Rebel_Scum]

Too soon man.

[Lore]

Would love me some high quality Resi Co-Op

[thesoftware730]

Yes!!!

And the Merc mode on 5 Remake/updated would be super fun.

[rpvenom]

Same, I really enjoyed playing through this with a friend. Good times.

[FortWaba]

What a stupid article. Of course RE5 is getting a remake. They all are, releasing on alternating years with mainline titles.

We'll likely get RE9 (RE IX?) in the next 24 months, and then a remake by the B-team on the following year.

Code Veronica is the most requested remake now that re4 is out, so I'm guessing they might go that way.

I hope RE5 includes the coop, which was a blast.

However, the game in the franchise that needs a remake the most is 6. That game was very ambitious, but very flawed. Crapcom is gone, and CapGod is back, so I think if they were to tackle it again, it would be aces.

[onisama]

Resident evil 5 is my 2nd favorite in the series i dont get the hate it received at the time, i will replay it since your remind me thanks

[Levii_92]

It gets the hate because it’s like a Michael Bay action movie compared to what came before and a lot of things were worse and not as good as Re4 and then Re6 is like a parody of a Michael Bay action movie.

[rayford15]

RE 5 my favorite in the series just cause me and my mother used to play it all the time need coop inna remake

[jznrpg]

That’s awesome

[Limitedtimestruggle]

They need to do a lot of changes to make RE5 a good Resident Evil experience. That game blows.

[XxINFERNUSxX]

There is just too many remakes all around. This has got to go on pause. RE4 is fine, just stop for now, with all these game remakes.

[GoodGuy09]

Well newer games typically disappoint after all. Revisiting and remaking good old games can remind dev/publishers what makes a great game.

[MadLad]

Gee.
I wonder why nobody is even bringing up the idea of a remake of 6 lol

[goldwyncq]

It’d have to be a complete reimagining in order for it to work

[Anunnaki]

It's a bad game. Code Veronica was the last good RE until 7.

[SmortBoie]

Resident Evil 1 Remake? Resident Evil 0? Outbreak 1/2? Revelations 1/2?
pffft.

[Anunnaki]

Remakes don't count and no I didn't care for the others.

[cammers1995]

Um no. Code Veronica first.

[P_Bomb]

I think RE5 is my only RE platinum. Took 3 playthroughs iirc. I remember doing some later levels online with a bud who’s still on my friendlist. Memories…

[BandarHub]

Dunno about you guys but how about continuing the series in third person rather that Remake all the games

[FallenAngel1984]

Strange how Capcom can provide such a great co-op experience with RE5 and RE6 yet continually stumble with Operation Raccoon City, Umbrella Corps, & Resistance

[cammers1995]

That's because they had already achieved what players wanted with outbreak and they refuse to return to that style or remake/remaster it. People have asked for years for an outbreak port to no avail.

[ocelot07]

I rather outbreak but tbh I didn't mind 5. Just couldn't get into 4 for the life of me back in the day.

[Dandalandan117]

If they end up doing it then they better REBOOT RE6 next

[TheEnigma313]

Anything but 6

[OhReginald]

Outbreak and code veronica is top of my list for remakes.....then re5 and re6 I guess....

[y2jb]

Res 5 is actually a great game. Its only crime was being not as good as 4.

I’ve played through it several times solo and the AI problems people complain about don’t really exist. During an entire play through, an AI controlled ally will die a less than 10 times.

That said they should do a full reimagining of Res 1 next. Totally new mansion but same basic story and characters.

[HeliosHex]

I think operation raccoon city would be far more interesting.

[autoglope]

Not yet,.. It has not even aged at all,..Still plays great,.. and has move and shoot,.. Would love it on PS6

[Knightofelemia]

Code Veronica and Dino Crisis.

[giovonni]

Surprisingly I liked five. I believe the game had a handicap to where you couldn’t run and shoot at the same time… drove me nuts but got used to it.

[Iceman100x]

"Capcom Should Just Remake Resident Evil 5 While They're At It"

umm no why waste time on that trash when you can make a whole new game?

[GoodGuy09]

Agreed. I think 5+6 need remakes the most as those were...the most mixed and controversial. Reimagined rather than remake I guess.

[jeromeface]

remaking bad entries doesnt suddenly make them good entries.. aren't fooling me twice

[MADGameR]

RE Code Veronica should be remade next. Then RE9. I do not care for RE5

[curtain_swoosh]

YES
