I'm actually playing through 5 again at the minute and it still holds up really well, especially in online co-op. I think the shit it does catch from the community is it being such a departure from 4 and the rest of the series stylistically. It is basically just an action game, but a very good one.
6 could have been the same but it has so much really terrible bloat that it can't really be considered 'good'. Although I do still secretly not hate playing it personally.

Every time I watch a RE6 video on YouTube there is a real hardcore element that absolutely love it to bits, especially the Mercenaries element
I have to question their critical thinking and analytical skills but fair play to them, people like what they like and you can’t question their loyalty

Mercenaries is amazing. Even the 3DS spin-off was fantastic. I’m sure that mode in RE4 had a lot to do with the direction of 5 generally.

IGN has confirmed that Zero and Code Veronica "are the next two Resident Evil remakes scheduled to release." www.ign.com/articles/resident-evil-zero-and-code-veronica-remakes-reportedly-in-the-works-at-capcomI don't get why you'd remake RE0 but not RE1 - aren't they the exact same age? And if you're remaking CV as well, aren't you leaving 1 as the only game in the franchise that has the fixed camera/tank controls/static backgrounds approach? I'd understand if RE1 wasn't regarded all that well compared to what came after, sort of like the original Assassin's Creed; however, that's very much not the case from what (little) I know.

The remake of 1 and 0 are more or less the same age and use the same engine.
I wonder if they’re holding off on doing 1 until 2026 to do a big fuss of the 30th anniversary

I'm more content with leaving RE1 as is. If you're going down the route of remaking all the other big ones then yes I guess remake it eventually. But 0 and Code Veronica (maybe even the Outbreak games to some degree) could do with the remake treatment more. This dev team has done well and not ad many people have such strong memories of those games so I'd be ok giving them the creative freedom to change and add to it in a way that they can't really do with RE1 because well...it doesn't need it.

The first REmake is probably my favourite RE game but considering it was released six years after RE1 first came out and we’re now twenty-two years on from that REmake I don’t think it would do much harm if they were to do a job as good as with 2 and 4.

I would imagine that it's because both CV and 0 are where you can make the most impact because they're flawed in their own ways and you can really give it remake treatment it deserves. Resi 1 is perfect as it is to a degree and honestly I don't think needs a lot of changing to its mechanics and gameplay that CV and 0 need. Plus you can capture so many new people with these games that you didn't in the past especially as Resi 1 still sells.
If you really think about it Resi 0 and CV will be like brand new entries in the franchise for some people.

I think it’s pure marketing. Hype up the inevitable remake of 1, by getting players to buy the other ones first.

I hated 0 with a passion. The juggling of items between the two characters, having to leave shit lying around to pick up again later was not my idea of fun. If it is reworked to get rid of all that switching back and forth or makes it autonomous at certain points, or even if they brave making it co-op I'll take it all back.

dangerousdave To a point but it's a substantial investment to put money and time into remaking two lesser games on the franchise.

More RE is *almost* always a good thing in my opinion. I don’t think RE1 needs a remake as it’s still either the best or second best RE game even now, there’s no way the remake could be as good or better
However I’d still like to play RE1 with the mechanics and engine from RE2R so there’s a 100% chance I’d buy it
For me it would be the replay / unlocks that would make it attractive if they got them right

I know I'm being totally selfish here, but - as I've stated multiple times by now! - I'd love to see RE1 get remade [again, he added hastily].
I'm hoping last week's rumour to this effect will eventually prove to be accurate, even if (per this week's rumour) Capcom wants to get RE0 and Code Veronica out of the door first...
... For reasons I still don't quite understand, although I do appreciate and respect everyone's input on that front, as always.
Giving the original game graphical and mechanical parity with RE2, RE3, and RE4 would allow n00bs like me to experience it without having to wrap our n00b-ish brains around stuff like fixed cameras and tank controls.
Would it require the investment of both time and money on Capcom's part? Well, sure... but I'm guessing they can afford to expend said resources, if they feel so inclined.
Does RE1 need to be remade for the second time? Continuing to gaze squarely at my own navel, I'd say yes - I don't see myself playing it any other way, and I'd really like to! Being less 'me, me, me' about it, though, I'm forced to admit that no, it probably doesn't - REmake is already available on pretty much every platform, in both physical and digital forms, so there's no argument to be made around preservation or availability.
Some of the other arguments I've heard against REmake 2.0 don't really stack up for me. "It'd be really short!" So was R3make. "Give it a modern third-person camera, and it wouldn't be scary anymore!" Didn't harm RE2make. "It still feels modern!" That's what everyone said about Rem4ke. (These shortened titles suck, I know.)
TL;DR Do it, Capcom! Do it now!
All this self-absorbed waffle notwithstanding, I'm not out to convince anyone else that they're wrong on this front. I can see both sides of it.

I feel, WITH ALL MY HEART, that a Resi 1 2nd remake would be much impactful if set to a 1st person perspective ala Resi 7 especially as they share so much DNA from a gameplay perspective and in pacing.

1st person RE1 is definitely what I want to see from a remake of that game. Ammo economy, movement manipulated to make it feel as claustrophobic as possible and lighting done right would be pretty much the perfect survival horror game for me.

Imagine if in RE1 Remake you amplify Crimson Heads up even more where they can chase you down hallways and through doors.

I would like to see back to basics of the game, focus on creepy location and puzzles and some ammo management (fight or flight) also proper zombies - not creatures like in RE7 and have large number of them in the streets to make them a threat
Also someone mentioned about angry RE6 fans, yeah they are awful. This is a thing where if you make a game more heavy action, worse the new fans you attract

I would love for them to somehow get back on track with Umbrella and the plot around them. I know it's all a bit daft but Village was just a bit too much for me.

Physical PS5 versions of 2, 3, and 7 cropped up on a Romanian retailer's website about a month ago, with a purported release date of July 31; now Play Asia is getting in on the act by listing 5, 9, and Code Veronica?
I hope these releases are a) real, and b) spaced out a bit - my wallet will *not* thank me for embarking upon a spending spree of such magnitude.
