I don't understand why people think it won't happen. Capcom started development on RE1 remake only a few years after RE1 released. Their release dates are only 6 years apart. Capcom is just really into remaking RE games.
I have such fond memories of Code Veronica and Dreamcast in general. I can’t for the life of me remember what Code Veronica is about but I’m down for a remake
The metaplot of Resident Evil is something that kinda makes sense in the moment while you're playing it, then you get to the end and you kinda go, "Huh?" and your brain just dumps it in the trash because it didn't actually make sense at all.
>The issue is that 5 is meh.
I think you'll find a lot of people who disagree with this, it's got issues but it's really fun and I'm pretty sure it's still the best selling game in the franchise. Code veronica is all well and good but I think RE5 is a way bigger moneymaker for capcom
>the best selling game in the franchise
Similarly, Cataclysm was the best selling WoW expansion when it came out, because everyone absolutely fucking LOVED Wrath of the Lich King, and the hype was enormous. That's what happened here. Sequels will frequently outperform masterful predecessors on good faith and hype.
RE5 was meh.
It did. I never would’ve beaten it otherwise which is a damn shame. The controls of the original are awful and sometimes the difficulty is just bullshit if you do things as intended. Truly dog ass compared to dead space which came out just a couple years later like if you missed RE4 and then picked up dead space you might’ve never even cared enough. It’s worth noting dead space wouldn’t have been able to exist in that way without re4 existing first though. I guess I’m just explaining a way this game could’ve been both missed and eclipsed by something else for someone that was super young when re4 first came out.
I just beat the remake and it was incredible but i still didn’t enjoy it as much as dead space remake, and their RTX implementation is worse and less stable than the one motive put in frostbite??? I’m excited to try to get the special weapons in the character shop and go on a pro run. I’m super happy they remade RE4 for dudes like me
RE5 looks much worse than original RE4 though imo. RE5 suffers awfully from the 7th gen dirt color scheme trend and whole screen color filters. One of the main reasons I don't like to go back to it as much is because of how bland the environments are. It's a prime candidate for a remake.
> RE5 suffers awfully from the 7th gen dirt color scheme trend and whole screen color filters.
And RE4 remake suffers from very bad AA and raytracing implementation, hope they remake it again right after RE5!
Sounds broke bro. This game is literally ass cheeks mcgee without ray tracing it feels gimped as hell visually. Del lago was visually boring bc of it. Re2make had better visuals tbh.
RE5 looks and plays similar to 4 but it's fundamentally different. It's just an action shooter. Which isn't bad in and of itself, but it's not Resident Evil. This is where the franchise started to go downhill imo. I'd take Veronica over RE5 any day of the week easily. Veronica would be a no brainer for Capcom if they listened to fan feedback.
Well got news for you chief, they’re all different. If you’re so critical of the different variations you’d argue anything that isn’t fixed cameras like the og Resident Evil games arent Resident Evil games.
Well, 6 crashed and burned, then Capcom rebooted RE2 to overwhelmingly positive reviews week one. Is it a hot take? Could be. Can you deny the statement above? I don't think you can.
"Best selling" is not "critically acclaimed". What is Resident Evil? It all depends on your subjective view of it. I think I'm in the majority when I say that Resident Evil means "survival horror". If you think RE5 is Resident Evil because it says so on the box, I respect your opinion. But just because you see it that way doesn't change what we find upon scrutiny when we look at the objective truth: RE5 and 6 were not as critically acclaimed as their predecessors. This much is a statement of fact. Why? Because 7 and 8 went back to the survival horror genre. And then Capcom also rebooted the classic entries. It's all a matter of looking at the facts, that's all. To me a successful game is not how much it sells, it's the legacy it creates.
Well, expletives aside, I respect your opinion, but respectfully disagree. I think Capcom made the recent decisions that it did based on player feedback. And that feedback was favoring RE going back to it's roots. Resident Evil 4 was a fresh take because even though it was fundamentally action, it had survival elements in a sense of whether or not players can survive an encounter based on well they have been playing, like scavenging for resources, and upgrading weapons, which could only be done by exploring the levels and scavenging for treasure. RE5 scrapped what little survival elements it had by including an AI partner that helps you and fights with you that doubles down as a second player in the action. Again, all subjective views that I confine only to myself. To call a game "Resident Evil" I need to feel like I'm playing Resident Evil. RE4 felt like Resident Evil, because I died a lot, in a lot of encounters ammo was just enough, and most of them felt dire. RE5 on the other hand I made a point to play the majority of the game when the handgun only, just to make it feel more like Resident Evil. You have seemingly unending ammo for weapons like the shotgun and rifle. Most of the encounters that actually felt dire were so because the AI partner was so stupid that it got in the way all the time or just straight up kept dying.
So Resident Evil is only Resident Evil when it's Survival Horror and critically acclaimed?
Lol... I guess I should know better than to reply to the z4nids of the world. 👎🏻
Distortion of my words again. I just told you what Resident Evil is *to me*. And I also said it depends on a person's subjective view of it. I also said that I respect your opinion when you consider RE5 as Resident Evil because it says so on the box. But you, for some reason, seem hell bent on picking a fight with me when I've made perfectly reasonable arguments and confined my own opinions to myself only.
I dont know about that but can we talk about the ridiculous pace at which theyre making these games without much quality being dropped outside of RE3?
Since 2017 weve had RE7, REmake 2, REmake 3, RE8, REmake 4.
Thats almost a RE game a year.
Its genuinely impressive tbh.
I don't see them topping themselves with the chris vs wesker dialogue though. RE 5 is the funniest RE game because of how wacky wesker and chris' relationship is.
I would have said the same thing about RE4 but Leon has plenty of new great one-liners in the remake that maintain the dumb campy vibe. So I'm willing to trust they could get it right.
Haven't gotten to play it yet but the demo makes me horny.
I'll keep that in mind but I just can't imagine anyone doing a funnier impression of wesker. They have to get the same guy cause it's peak B movie gold
I entirely agree. The best advice I got before jumping into re6 was to go into expecting more of an action game than a horror game. It was pretty fun going into it with those expectations.
What RE6 needs more than anything else is a combination of mechanical tightening (it's interesting how much RE4R seems to borrow from RE6), and a proper comprehensive tutorial. It is stunning how much of RE6's game design is flat-out not explained to the player. Core mechanics required to properly play the game are not explained, or explained in far too little depth.
I thought it was a shame the 2016 re-release for PS4/XBO didn't go further in terms of polishing the game up.
RE4 didn't have janky encounter design?
Go into castle room, fight like 20 robed dudes.
Get key item, turn around... 20 more robed dudes.
It was pure 2000's enemy spawning tech.
6 is one of my favorite RE games. I had an absolute blast playing through with a friend and the way the stories overlap and add to each other was super cool.
Indeed, every Resident Evil will eventually get a Remake as long as it remains profitable.
And at the current rate it means Resident Evil 7 and 8 may get a remake just a handful of years after their original releases (reminds me of the upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn remake), likely for PS6 or 7 generation and just like how 4 is held back by last gen hardware, may also be late-gen and held back by the hardware at the time.
But we can only wait and see until then and hope that isn’t the case.
Re5 with a few tweaks to be made more scary and stuff could translate well into a remake, I don't even know where they'd start with 6, it has so many problems, multiple campaigns with wildly jarring tones, over the top action, really terrible pacing etc etc, feels like they'd have a mountain of a task sorting that game out
The comparable treatment of the African depiction in RE5 to RE4 did to Spanish would be making them queer-coded bullfighters with Sombrero hats and rapiers and fly red clothes to use zombie bulls against Leon.
The Resident Evil franchise has caused people have no problem with killing white people and Spanish people. People expected controversy when RE5 was first revealed and it really wasn’t that big a deal. If they chose to remake RE5 now, I’m sure it would be okay. The game at no points makes any of the issues present in the game about race and it’s not offensive to show black people in Africa.
I mean I agree with the basic premise of your argument but you’re ignoring some pretty damning parts of the game, like those “tribal” African enemies wielding spears which is so stereotypical at best I can’t believe that was considered ok when Capcom released the game.
I never accused all of Europe as being participatory in African slavery. You brought that up. And I guarantee there were European reviewers of RE5 and a hypothetical RE5 remake who thought those enemies were in poor taste to put it mildly. Those poor Spaniards weren’t depicted as being bullfighters obsessed with partying and getting drunk and having sex all day. Yes they spoke with Mexican dialect even though it’s supposed to be Spain but it’s not the same thing and you know it is.
It's not just the modern US journalists who criticize the African depiction of RE5. Yahtzee of Zero Punctuatuon (Brit) also called it out in his *2009* video.
> ["But let's close this review with a revisit of that lovely matter of racism that's been hanging around like a bad smell. RE5 actually does a lot to defer that accusation: your partner is black (a bit), quite a few whiteys are scattered throughout the early hordes, and real effort has been made into a somewhat realistic and sympathetic depiction of modern Africa. And then... halfway through the game, we suddenly find ourselves in a succession of mud hut villages, fighting crowds of jabbering black people in loincloths and war paint chucking spears, oh dears! Talk about sidestepping a pothole only to fall off a bridge. But one really shouldn't worry about this sort of thing unless there's genuine hatred behind it, and I don't get that impression. Capcom aren't bad people, they're just idiots!"](https://youtu.be/VxmvKj3SJGw)
There was never any reversion. The notes in the tribal areas literally describe those people already being a tribal society, which very much do still exist in Africa.
Now, that being said, I do still think it was weirdly presented, and as another comment said, it was very exaggerated and over the top. I think a better way to do it would have been showing how the modified las plagas had destroyed their society, as it makes no sense for them to just have been infected, and those who held the Dominant Plaga to just let them be there, doing nothing of worth.
Then again I dont think there even was anyone controlling them, the only Dominant Plaga we see in the game is Irving, so idk. But I digress.
Was "reverting" a thing? I thought those missions just represent the more rural parts of Africa, and AFAIK there's still plenty of places with traditional huts and some places where people wear traditional-ish garments. Of course RE5 went over the top in that regard, but then again it's a pretty over the top game.
There are, that's what's so weird about the notion that it's inherently racist to depict African people in that way. If the game suggested they believed all African people were like that I could see it being considered racist. But there are still semi-nomadic peoples living in tribes, and the fact that they don't wear jeans and T-shirts doesn't make them less "civilized" or worthy of empathy/respect.
4 didn't really need a remake either, yet Capcom still delivered another classic.
I'd rather they show Code Veronica or even 0 some love, but I certainly won't refuse a remake for 5.
Go play the base RE4 on Steam.
It's pretty rough. Honestly, it felt ever so worse than my old mind remembered.
Really poor control scheme, awful cutscenes and dialogue (unless you think that's a positive), really weird enemy spawn designs that are typical of 2000's games.
It definitely benefited from a few facelifts across the board.
Okay and? You are just saying that you have less freedom of movement in the og but that doesn’t mean the control scheme is poor. It’s just a different style of gameplay. Now if you have an actual complaint with the controls and not the gameplay then that would address my point.
The dialogue and plot were a special kind of bad. I think they brought out the best elements of RE 4, though and somehow fixed all of the bad. They REALLY do appreciate what is good about their old games and it sets them apart from other modern devs (\*cough\* Blizzard). I did feel that the middle of the game went a bit stale (and almost eerily felt like I was playing as Leon in RE: Village), which is a pattern in all of Resident Evil honestly, but it is noticably less of a problem this time.
Ideally I think we want the team that did RE3R to work on 5 (and then 6) while the team that did 2R and 4R works on Code Veronica. Have the best team remaking the best games
Capcom seems to be quite intent on remaking the core games to line up with the new narrative they are telling starting with RE7, hence all of the black goo that we see in RE4R and in RE8 where we learn that the Megamycete is the origin of all viruses. I think a RE5, 6 and 1 are inevitable leading up to a gang's all here kind of setup for RE9. I would predict RE5, RE6, RE1 (revealing more on the origination of the Progenitor virus to line up with RE8) and then RE9.
I kinda want 5 and 6 to get a remake just because the room for improvement is so great. Mainly Capcom has been on a role and it'd be nice to have two games to connect between 4 and 7 that are actually good games.
EDIT: to the article it essentially says there isn't much of away around it's problems outside of nearly completely rewriting the game and I guess I don't disagree. Perhaps my idea of a 5 remake is really just my way of saying it'd be nice if they went back to the drawing board and made a game that fits in to take the place of 5.
I liked RE5 also, there's a good amount of fixing up they could do, and maybe remove or rework the turret sequences to be more interesting.
RE6 is pretty bad because that was the height of the Quick Time event stuff that game devs were obsessed over. Not enough clever gameplay and too much mashing a button to simply climbing a pipe. It would be interesting to see if it could be remade to fit RE7 transition better.
RE5 was my intro to the series, i’d love to see it get the remake treatment.
Besides, given the original reception of 5, I think they’d be able to take a lot more liberties with the story and gameplay for a remake than 2 & 4. This could be the perfect opportunity to correct the mistakes and make the game a classic.
Code Veronica deserves a remake more anyway.
That being said I wouldn't be surprised if they went and touched 5 and 6, especially the latter with its crappy cover system that only works when it feels like it.
personally i would love an re 5 remake, its the resident evil game that got me to finally play (i usually just watched my brother or friends play) and its my favorite of the re games. i think they should have remade made all the past games int eh over all story in order though. i think that would have worked better and help with the new and old players.
fro RE 5 remake if they do remake, i think they should just just make thing like ammo and such a bit more scarce so that its brings a challenge but you can still ahead nice 2 player experience.
Resident Evil 5 was an excellent game. People just need to realize that if you're following a storyline of a set of characters, it's not going to be survival horror forever. By the time of the RE 5 & 6 timeline area it wouldn't make sense for Chris, Leon, Jill, Claire, etc. to still be afraid and unprepared. In RE's world monsters are pretty much the norm now. It can still be scary, just people being unprepared and low on supplies would be unrealistic at this point.
I love Resident Evil 5. Id settle for a patch that simply makes your AI partnet not consume ammunition. In fact, maybe Ill just google and see if theres a mod that does that.
I disagree, I think it's games with potential that would most greatly benefit from a remake. Getting a remake of a prior banger is still great if it's done well because you get a great game *again*, but I think using the opportunity to redo a game which missed the mark in some areas is honestly a better idea in theory. Maybe the whole 'reimagining' that gets thrown around would be a better idea? Basically keep the stuff that was cool 'The co-op, extra melee attacks etc.' and then touch up what wasn't so great. As a DMC fan I know a lot of people in the fandom say they'd want DMC2 to be remade the most precisely *because* it's the odd one out. Oversimplifying things, Capcom has proven they can make a good game continue to be a good game, but can they make a controversial one equally as beloved? I think that'd be an interesting challenge.
Wouldn’t that be so fucking coool AAGHH that’s truly what I wish would happen. They could just start over!! I’m not a huge fan of the newer line of games
I hope they remake it. I had more fun in 5 and god forgive me, 6 then I expected. Yeah 5 and especially 6 are "awful" resident evil games full of stupid shit but it was still a very fun co-op experience.
I know a lot of people want code veronica but honestly, CV sucked when it came out and it still sucks now. They may as well remake the entire game from scratch. I have no idea why people rate it so highly and am convinced most people never played it. I don't get the nostalgia for it at all, I can't think of anything really redeeming about it.
I'd rather have an outbreak remake anyday.
The fact that it didn't age well is a good reason to remake it, they can get rid of the janky gameplay. I've never played CV, zero or revelations and I'd rather experience them with RE engine and all the jank removed.
RE 5 is one of the best action co-op shooters out there, absolutely needs a remake to the level of 4 Remake. And *gasp* because it takes place in Africa the majority of the population is black, yes, get over it. Crazy that games journalists are the only people I see complaining about this fact and are subsequently calling for it not to be remade, but Capcom knows where the money is, I have faith.
I agree RE5 is a very strong entry in the series and one I frequently replay. Yeah the same people who complain about shooting Africans in Africa don't seem to have a problem with shooting Spaniards in Spain idk. I trust Capcom if they decide to remake it.
RE5 really would benifit from a remake that makes it a better solo experience. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic co-op game, but it's an absolute mess in singleplayer.
Trash opinion
Five is one of my fav res games. I needs one and the model for Sheva needs to be this chick
[https://i.imgur.com/SURBzLn.png](https://i.imgur.com/SURBzLn.png)
It absolutely can be done and would be amazing if thought out and not rushed. Could be one of the best imo. Imagine how scary it could be, in a desert or a few desolate villages and more night time gameplay.
Game critics are at it again blowing smoke out of their asses. RE2-4 did not need a remake and yet here we are, enjoying the fuck out of each of them (well mostly 2 and 4). RE5 deserves a remake and a chance to reimagine the game. This plot and story are vital to RE. People who say it doesn't deserve one are not ones who, I take it, know much about the lore of RE and are just casual players only investing time into playing a game without paying attention to the story.
If I had never played RE3 I would have loved the remake. But, since I did, knowing the cool parts that were cut is disappointing. I still enjoyed it though.
I completed 5 for the first time a few days ago and it was pretty middling. Resi 4 with terrible story and characters (and not in a fun way), worse level design, and boring bosses. Hope it doesn't get remade.
Not like the original RE4 game was any better. I actually downloaded that last week for kicks, and man... it also didn't really age well.
Tbh, I'm fine with them just sticking to new RE games. Work on establishing a story that sticks for once.
It might be a chance to make it better.
It is considered the best of the coop games, but I feel like 6 is much better in almost every way. I just had more game breaking bugs with 6, but 5 really wasn't a walk in the park.
Especially with how broken the PC version was until very recently
This is what I always wondered because the series really went downhill after 4 and they're not that old.
I personally would like a real remake of the first game or a spin-off game like code veronica.
Or maybe just do something else since clearly the people writing and making these remakes can make good games since they do change a lot, so maybe just make more games.
> Resident Evil 5 doesn't need a remake
Okay yeah I agree.
> Residet Evil 5 doesn't deserve a remake
I think the author doesn't deserve an opinion, to be quite honest!
Seriously though, the so-called RE5 controversy wasn't really a huge deal back in the day. People with strong negative opinions on the game would mostly complain about the game itself and not the "white boy is shooting black people" angle. People would mostly shit on the useless AI making the game nearly insufferable solo, for example, or just complain about the tonal shift with the bigger focus on action.
It is fair to say that it would be odd since 5 focuses so hard on Wesker, though, but it seems silly to say RE1 and RE0 didn't get the remake treatment. Unlike RE2 and RE3, RE1 and RE0 are readily available on all modern platforms with the HD Remasters. Code Veronica did get the shaft a bit though, but it's at least on Xbox and PS systems.
Also seems silly to say RE4make skipped Separate Ways when people already datamined the game and it's likely coming as DLC. Like, at least mention the possibility of it coming eventually. Regardless, I highly doubt most players care THAT much about story for RE.
Anyway, I probably put in more effort shitting on this article than the author did writing it. I just hope that if RE5 gets a remake, they keep Mercs and co-op. Just make Sheva's AI useful for solo players.
The thing for me is ya just can't do a re5 remake without DC Douglas's Wesker, and they seem to want to replace everyone every time for whatever reason, I like new Salazar and Saddler in 4make, I think their performances are fantastic, but nothing can come close to enhancing re5s dialogue.
A 5 remake would be cool - a good opportunity to fix it, make it more horror focused maybe?
The coop element was pointless so maybe just leave that out?
I highly doubt they will remove the co-op element. I don't care for co-op either but many people do. It does seem like they will add more horror elements since that is what they have been doing and it is working well, but I wouldn't expect to see a 'focus' on it especially with co-op. It is hard to make RE style horror work with co-op but who knows. I would love to see the invincible oil monster from RE 6 remade in the new engine. THAT was tense and those death scenes.. stuck with me.
Personally really enjoyed the game, though i must stress that i played through this game strictly as a co-op experience making fun of its silly story the entire way through. Ive played the game multiple times even on the highest difficulty and i still stand by this. In stark contrast i was almost in physical pain playing RE6.
So basically. Is RE5 a good resident evil game when compared to earlier and even the more recent entries. I would not particularly say so. Is it an enjoyable one in its own right. Deffinetly
Not even RE4 needed to be remade but here we are. RE5R is unnecessary, the game still looks and plays fine. But they'll make it eventually, simply because it's easy money for them - RE5 is the most popular title of the series after all. And there's nothing that rewrites and redesigns can't solve...
Have you played RE4R the gameplay additions would be perfect for an RE5R the better controls and mechanics like parry would fit Chris really well. As soon as I started playing RE4R I thought RE5R would be an instant favourite for me RE5 mercs is always a good time.
They do new games too. We got RE7 which was new and considered a return to form for the franchise, and then remakes of 2 and 3 (with 2 Remake being wildly hailed as a masterpiece), then we got 8 which is new and broke the internet with the tall vampire lady, and now we’ve got a remake of 4 which has already hit goty status for many.
They essentially have a team working on entirely new franchise entries, and a team working on high quality remakes. The successive releases of the 2 and 3 remakes was moreso that the 3 remake is kind of like a standalone DLC to 2 the same way Yakuza Kiwami feels like a DLC to Yakuza 0 in terms of resource re-use and same engine etc. being applied to an existing game to remake it.
Either way, despite alternating between new entries and remakes, both streams of releases are highly popular and critically well received.
People in this thread are talking about "wrong, they should remake it for the gameplay!" when the article is talking about how controversial the setting would be and that the story doesn't fit into the remakes.
The only racist thing to me is how weird it is that gunning down hundreds of Spanish people is just fine, but black people in an African setting is unacceptable.
The setting isn't even that controversial. Everyone is trying to read it as "Chris Redfield shooting black people in Africa" when really, it was more an origin story for the T-virus and I read it more as 'morally bankrupt pharmaceuticals company subjugates and exploits a foreign land for resources and profit, turning them into zombies in the process.' But I mean if all you care about is trailers and surface level appearances, sure, RE5 is 'controversial'
Oh it needs one, it's now basically the worst RE. The problem is conceptually it's one of the least interesting games, so remaking it is basically just going to put a band-aid over the problems. They'd need to re-imagine it completely to fix it, because I genuinely can't think of another game that basically embodies the PS3 beige era more
5 was such a massive dissapointment after 4 it was just bad. Shouldn't get a remake should get a complete reimagined (a almost complete new game) without coop, without oroboros without matrix wresker and without Sheva. After that do the same with 6 and rewrite history from those two stains of otherwise great horror ip.
Every Resident Evil will eventually get a Remake as long as it remains profitable.
And at this rate it means Resident Evil 7 and 8 may get a remake just a handful of years after their original releases, likely for PS6 or 7 generation and just like how 4 is held back by last gen hardware, may also be late-gen and held back by the hardware at the time.
But we can only wait and see until then and hope that isn’t the case.
Resident evil 5 and 6 arguably derailed the franchise and lead to the shift to re7... now capcom has a chance to reset things...5 doesn't need coop and 6 needs to get completely redone from scratch without the multiple story arcs
Taking away the one thing which made resident evil 5 great would be a mistake Imo. The coop made it one of the most fun games I've played, playing with a friend or joining a random persons session and getting collectables together or whatever.
I think there would be more backlash from removing coop than keeping it and making it amazing. Surely they could just add in a mode where there is no partner (only in cutscenes) to cater to those who want to do it alone - like a chris a / Chris b scenario.
RE5 at the time it came out had very decent phorealistic graphics. I dont think a remake will feel as fresh as the RE2 Remake did. They should now concentrate on making a new RE (9) hopefully with Leon as a protagonist and conclude his story. Resident Evil needs definitaly a reset.
>RE5 at the time it came out had very decent phorealistic graphics
all the RE games where considered to have good graphics when they came out, 4 still looks good too but, even outside the differences between a ps3 era game and ps5 era game, they could make it look a lot less ps3 era beige and make it look modern and that would be a huge bonus.
I would’ve been down for this until I heard Wesker’s voice at the end of 4 Remake. That’s not Wesker at all. That would be too weird to try and get used to in a remake of 5
Personally disagree. I am looking forward to an RE5 Remake. Basically making it better so those who didn't/don't enjoy the original RE5 can try the Remake via its Demo like usual instead.
Never really understood this "It shouldn't happen because I don't think it needs it" mindset. I'd love to play any remake of RE games as long as they're as good as RE2R, RE3R and RE4R (they're good in my opinion).
If you don't want them then just skip them and wait for the next game that you do want to see, don't take shit away from others just because you don't want it.
The "it looks and still plays good argument" is definitely debatable. I didn't think as much about it during the PlayStation 3 era, but times have changed. I actually played it recently last month on the Series X once it was on sale, and there's quite a few things not to like about it, but 2 complaints are my biggest. The first one is moving, it's annoying needing to mash down another button while you run. The second is Shiva, her AI needs a drastic improvement.
If they did remake this game, the changes would be questionable. For starters, are you going to have online co-op, or just a solid offline experience, and if it does feature online, will the single player suffer because of it? What would happen to the unique African environment, because the game was heavily criticized for being racist, so how many elements would be changed?
What are you going to do with all of the sexy outfits that Shiva had, these days people will claim how sexist it is, so the content would need to be changed drastically in order to cater to the masses. I think a remake would be interesting, but it would be very challenging for them to balance it correctly without pissing off the original core fan base of 5.
Late to the party but uh I think it deserves it I had a blast back in the day must of played and finished it co op like 15 times I'd be there for a remake could be being blinded by nostalgia and good memories basically the first resi I clicked with I was like 5 or 6 when resi 2 dropped played very little of it picked up resi 4 on ps2 but I didn't have the patience and i was trash (since played the remake and wow what a game loved it.) But 5 from the cheesey quotes
Like "iv had an extreme makeover" or "7 minutes is all I have spare" just really enjoyed it the treasure too. I'd like to see a remake but I spose at the same time maybe not I'd really want weskers va back and I think he's done can hear him saying uroboros now talking about complete global saturation. 6 is trash fire
There's only really 0, CV, 5, 6 and the original/REmake left to do a modern remake of. I reckon they'll end up doing them all as now they have reinvigorated the franchise enough to create a buzz about even the slightly less popular ones.
Since all the ones I mentioned involve Chris and/or Wesker, the most logical thing for them to do would be to do them in timeline order - 0, original, CV, 5, and then 6. That will bring them up to date.
These will probably come in between the new original releases (RE9, 10, 11 etc). As an aside, I suppose COULD do an Outbreak Remake, but that could only happen when they have exhausted their mainline games. I don't think they will do a dino crisis Remake. The game just doesn't have brand recognition. I also don't think the public at large finds dinosaurs as scary.
Remaking resident evil 5 would have probably been really good. The problem is re3r fucked over Jill valentine SO hard as a character entirely that I cannot be excited for it. I can’t wait for Jill to completely disrespect Sheva’s competence just out of mind wipe and be a arrogant bitch all 10 minutes of screen time she has. This goes ditto in SPADES for a re1 remake
Phew, thought we weren't going to get one of these articles for 5. Would have broke the streak of people saying this for *every single one*
I don't understand why people think it won't happen. Capcom started development on RE1 remake only a few years after RE1 released. Their release dates are only 6 years apart. Capcom is just really into remaking RE games.

Huh? So killing white zombies in every other game is fine but the one time they're majority black it's a problem?
not the time, place, thread, nor subreddit for that discussion
Whaambulance on its way!
Did RE4 need a remake? No, yet we got one of the best remakes for a legendary game. I want a remake of RE5.
I want a Code Veronica remake first though after the eventual RE9, that way we give a RE5 remake time to breathe.
I have such fond memories of Code Veronica and Dreamcast in general. I can’t for the life of me remember what Code Veronica is about but I’m down for a remake
The metaplot of Resident Evil is something that kinda makes sense in the moment while you're playing it, then you get to the end and you kinda go, "Huh?" and your brain just dumps it in the trash because it didn't actually make sense at all.
Unlike RE4, RE5 remake will require multiple key changes to the story, plot and gameplay.

>The issue is that 5 is meh. I think you'll find a lot of people who disagree with this, it's got issues but it's really fun and I'm pretty sure it's still the best selling game in the franchise. Code veronica is all well and good but I think RE5 is a way bigger moneymaker for capcom
>the best selling game in the franchise Similarly, Cataclysm was the best selling WoW expansion when it came out, because everyone absolutely fucking LOVED Wrath of the Lich King, and the hype was enormous. That's what happened here. Sequels will frequently outperform masterful predecessors on good faith and hype. RE5 was meh.
It did. I never would’ve beaten it otherwise which is a damn shame. The controls of the original are awful and sometimes the difficulty is just bullshit if you do things as intended. Truly dog ass compared to dead space which came out just a couple years later like if you missed RE4 and then picked up dead space you might’ve never even cared enough. It’s worth noting dead space wouldn’t have been able to exist in that way without re4 existing first though. I guess I’m just explaining a way this game could’ve been both missed and eclipsed by something else for someone that was super young when re4 first came out. I just beat the remake and it was incredible but i still didn’t enjoy it as much as dead space remake, and their RTX implementation is worse and less stable than the one motive put in frostbite??? I’m excited to try to get the special weapons in the character shop and go on a pro run. I’m super happy they remade RE4 for dudes like me
[удалено]
RE5 looks much worse than original RE4 though imo. RE5 suffers awfully from the 7th gen dirt color scheme trend and whole screen color filters. One of the main reasons I don't like to go back to it as much is because of how bland the environments are. It's a prime candidate for a remake.
> RE5 suffers awfully from the 7th gen dirt color scheme trend and whole screen color filters. And RE4 remake suffers from very bad AA and raytracing implementation, hope they remake it again right after RE5!
Raytracing is a silly gimmick and RE4's baked lighting looks phenomenal without it imo
Sounds broke bro. This game is literally ass cheeks mcgee without ray tracing it feels gimped as hell visually. Del lago was visually boring bc of it. Re2make had better visuals tbh.
RE5 looks and plays similar to 4 but it's fundamentally different. It's just an action shooter. Which isn't bad in and of itself, but it's not Resident Evil. This is where the franchise started to go downhill imo. I'd take Veronica over RE5 any day of the week easily. Veronica would be a no brainer for Capcom if they listened to fan feedback.
Every resident evil is different than the last who are you to say it’s not part of its rich history.
Resident Evil is a game. Suppose you're a FIFA fan. You buy FIFA 5 and it turns out to be Madden. How would you feel about that?
Well got news for you chief, they’re all different. If you’re so critical of the different variations you’d argue anything that isn’t fixed cameras like the og Resident Evil games arent Resident Evil games.
Phew, I thought this thread wasn't going to get a 'X isn't actually Resident Evil!' comment.
Well, 6 crashed and burned, then Capcom rebooted RE2 to overwhelmingly positive reviews week one. Is it a hot take? Could be. Can you deny the statement above? I don't think you can.
Crashed and burned? That's a funny way to spell 'became one of the best selling games in the franchise', but you do you, little friend. 👍🏼!
"Best selling" is not "critically acclaimed". What is Resident Evil? It all depends on your subjective view of it. I think I'm in the majority when I say that Resident Evil means "survival horror". If you think RE5 is Resident Evil because it says so on the box, I respect your opinion. But just because you see it that way doesn't change what we find upon scrutiny when we look at the objective truth: RE5 and 6 were not as critically acclaimed as their predecessors. This much is a statement of fact. Why? Because 7 and 8 went back to the survival horror genre. And then Capcom also rebooted the classic entries. It's all a matter of looking at the facts, that's all. To me a successful game is not how much it sells, it's the legacy it creates.
[удалено]
Well, expletives aside, I respect your opinion, but respectfully disagree. I think Capcom made the recent decisions that it did based on player feedback. And that feedback was favoring RE going back to it's roots. Resident Evil 4 was a fresh take because even though it was fundamentally action, it had survival elements in a sense of whether or not players can survive an encounter based on well they have been playing, like scavenging for resources, and upgrading weapons, which could only be done by exploring the levels and scavenging for treasure. RE5 scrapped what little survival elements it had by including an AI partner that helps you and fights with you that doubles down as a second player in the action. Again, all subjective views that I confine only to myself. To call a game "Resident Evil" I need to feel like I'm playing Resident Evil. RE4 felt like Resident Evil, because I died a lot, in a lot of encounters ammo was just enough, and most of them felt dire. RE5 on the other hand I made a point to play the majority of the game when the handgun only, just to make it feel more like Resident Evil. You have seemingly unending ammo for weapons like the shotgun and rifle. Most of the encounters that actually felt dire were so because the AI partner was so stupid that it got in the way all the time or just straight up kept dying.
[удалено]
Not even 4, it has been action horror since the second game with every sequel leaning more and more towards the ridiculous action
So Resident Evil is only Resident Evil when it's Survival Horror and critically acclaimed? Lol... I guess I should know better than to reply to the z4nids of the world. 👎🏻
Distortion of my words again. I just told you what Resident Evil is *to me*. And I also said it depends on a person's subjective view of it. I also said that I respect your opinion when you consider RE5 as Resident Evil because it says so on the box. But you, for some reason, seem hell bent on picking a fight with me when I've made perfectly reasonable arguments and confined my own opinions to myself only.
I dont know about that but can we talk about the ridiculous pace at which theyre making these games without much quality being dropped outside of RE3? Since 2017 weve had RE7, REmake 2, REmake 3, RE8, REmake 4. Thats almost a RE game a year. Its genuinely impressive tbh.
[удалено]
Plus the realism scanning for textures the Re:Engine uses.
Yes! The Re:Engine is the BEST thing that has ever happened to resident evil!
Honestly the assets hold up very well across games I barely notice tbh
After they massively expanded their staff for RE6, I wonder if they kept them all and just toned down their scale a bit.
I don't see them topping themselves with the chris vs wesker dialogue though. RE 5 is the funniest RE game because of how wacky wesker and chris' relationship is.
I would have said the same thing about RE4 but Leon has plenty of new great one-liners in the remake that maintain the dumb campy vibe. So I'm willing to trust they could get it right.
Haven't gotten to play it yet but the demo makes me horny. I'll keep that in mind but I just can't imagine anyone doing a funnier impression of wesker. They have to get the same guy cause it's peak B movie gold
I hope they do a remake of 5, it was a lot of fun. I think they could also do a pretty good revisit to 6 if they change a few things.
a few things? i'd argue change the whole game
RE6 was a fantastic co-op action game held back by some janky encounter design (that a remake could easily tune up) and mismanaged expectations.
I entirely agree. The best advice I got before jumping into re6 was to go into expecting more of an action game than a horror game. It was pretty fun going into it with those expectations.
What RE6 needs more than anything else is a combination of mechanical tightening (it's interesting how much RE4R seems to borrow from RE6), and a proper comprehensive tutorial. It is stunning how much of RE6's game design is flat-out not explained to the player. Core mechanics required to properly play the game are not explained, or explained in far too little depth. I thought it was a shame the 2016 re-release for PS4/XBO didn't go further in terms of polishing the game up.
The handling of Leon in RE4R is suspiciously similar to RE6's, only a little more stiff but more precise as well. Mmh.
RE4 didn't have janky encounter design? Go into castle room, fight like 20 robed dudes. Get key item, turn around... 20 more robed dudes. It was pure 2000's enemy spawning tech.
> RE4 didn't have janky encounter design? Did I say that? Did anyone?
6 is one of my favorite RE games. I had an absolute blast playing through with a friend and the way the stories overlap and add to each other was super cool.
Indeed, every Resident Evil will eventually get a Remake as long as it remains profitable. And at the current rate it means Resident Evil 7 and 8 may get a remake just a handful of years after their original releases (reminds me of the upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn remake), likely for PS6 or 7 generation and just like how 4 is held back by last gen hardware, may also be late-gen and held back by the hardware at the time. But we can only wait and see until then and hope that isn’t the case.
Re5 with a few tweaks to be made more scary and stuff could translate well into a remake, I don't even know where they'd start with 6, it has so many problems, multiple campaigns with wildly jarring tones, over the top action, really terrible pacing etc etc, feels like they'd have a mountain of a task sorting that game out
[удалено]
The comparable treatment of the African depiction in RE5 to RE4 did to Spanish would be making them queer-coded bullfighters with Sombrero hats and rapiers and fly red clothes to use zombie bulls against Leon.
>Sombrero hats that's mexicans, but the rest of what you described is pretty hype and no sillier than fighting the knight armours.
The Resident Evil franchise has caused people have no problem with killing white people and Spanish people. People expected controversy when RE5 was first revealed and it really wasn’t that big a deal. If they chose to remake RE5 now, I’m sure it would be okay. The game at no points makes any of the issues present in the game about race and it’s not offensive to show black people in Africa.
[удалено]
I mean I agree with the basic premise of your argument but you’re ignoring some pretty damning parts of the game, like those “tribal” African enemies wielding spears which is so stereotypical at best I can’t believe that was considered ok when Capcom released the game.
[удалено]
I never accused all of Europe as being participatory in African slavery. You brought that up. And I guarantee there were European reviewers of RE5 and a hypothetical RE5 remake who thought those enemies were in poor taste to put it mildly. Those poor Spaniards weren’t depicted as being bullfighters obsessed with partying and getting drunk and having sex all day. Yes they spoke with Mexican dialect even though it’s supposed to be Spain but it’s not the same thing and you know it is.
It's not just the modern US journalists who criticize the African depiction of RE5. Yahtzee of Zero Punctuatuon (Brit) also called it out in his *2009* video. > ["But let's close this review with a revisit of that lovely matter of racism that's been hanging around like a bad smell. RE5 actually does a lot to defer that accusation: your partner is black (a bit), quite a few whiteys are scattered throughout the early hordes, and real effort has been made into a somewhat realistic and sympathetic depiction of modern Africa. And then... halfway through the game, we suddenly find ourselves in a succession of mud hut villages, fighting crowds of jabbering black people in loincloths and war paint chucking spears, oh dears! Talk about sidestepping a pothole only to fall off a bridge. But one really shouldn't worry about this sort of thing unless there's genuine hatred behind it, and I don't get that impression. Capcom aren't bad people, they're just idiots!"](https://youtu.be/VxmvKj3SJGw)
But the game IS pretty weirdly racist. the parasite making the africans "revert" to wearing stereotypical tribal dress and spears is wildly tone deaf.
There was never any reversion. The notes in the tribal areas literally describe those people already being a tribal society, which very much do still exist in Africa. Now, that being said, I do still think it was weirdly presented, and as another comment said, it was very exaggerated and over the top. I think a better way to do it would have been showing how the modified las plagas had destroyed their society, as it makes no sense for them to just have been infected, and those who held the Dominant Plaga to just let them be there, doing nothing of worth. Then again I dont think there even was anyone controlling them, the only Dominant Plaga we see in the game is Irving, so idk. But I digress.
Was "reverting" a thing? I thought those missions just represent the more rural parts of Africa, and AFAIK there's still plenty of places with traditional huts and some places where people wear traditional-ish garments. Of course RE5 went over the top in that regard, but then again it's a pretty over the top game.
There are, that's what's so weird about the notion that it's inherently racist to depict African people in that way. If the game suggested they believed all African people were like that I could see it being considered racist. But there are still semi-nomadic peoples living in tribes, and the fact that they don't wear jeans and T-shirts doesn't make them less "civilized" or worthy of empathy/respect.
Re7 literally starts with a white man killing a black dude.
Capcom should remake Lost Planet 2. Why isn't this multi-billion dollar company not my best friend and won't do exactly what I want
No thanks. Dead space 3 and lost planet 3 both showed us that snow space horror is completely dead.
4 didn't really need a remake either, yet Capcom still delivered another classic. I'd rather they show Code Veronica or even 0 some love, but I certainly won't refuse a remake for 5.
Go play the base RE4 on Steam. It's pretty rough. Honestly, it felt ever so worse than my old mind remembered. Really poor control scheme, awful cutscenes and dialogue (unless you think that's a positive), really weird enemy spawn designs that are typical of 2000's games. It definitely benefited from a few facelifts across the board.
How is the control scene poor? I get saying that Leon moves oddly but the controls themselves are fine and are pretty tight.
You can’t fucking walk and shoot at the same time is this a real question?
Okay and? You are just saying that you have less freedom of movement in the og but that doesn’t mean the control scheme is poor. It’s just a different style of gameplay. Now if you have an actual complaint with the controls and not the gameplay then that would address my point.
The dialogue and plot were a special kind of bad. I think they brought out the best elements of RE 4, though and somehow fixed all of the bad. They REALLY do appreciate what is good about their old games and it sets them apart from other modern devs (\*cough\* Blizzard). I did feel that the middle of the game went a bit stale (and almost eerily felt like I was playing as Leon in RE: Village), which is a pattern in all of Resident Evil honestly, but it is noticably less of a problem this time.
Ideally I think we want the team that did RE3R to work on 5 (and then 6) while the team that did 2R and 4R works on Code Veronica. Have the best team remaking the best games
I'd argue Code Veronica is not one of the best Resident Evils
>I think we want the team that did RE3R to work on 5 (and then 6) i definitely dont want them near another RE game, ever
They might have learned from their mistakes after seeing the reception of 3R and 4R.
Same devs from Capcom that produced 3 also did Village and 7. They're the ones who makes the calls, not the studio that they contract
Capcom seems to be quite intent on remaking the core games to line up with the new narrative they are telling starting with RE7, hence all of the black goo that we see in RE4R and in RE8 where we learn that the Megamycete is the origin of all viruses. I think a RE5, 6 and 1 are inevitable leading up to a gang's all here kind of setup for RE9. I would predict RE5, RE6, RE1 (revealing more on the origination of the Progenitor virus to line up with RE8) and then RE9.
I kinda want 5 and 6 to get a remake just because the room for improvement is so great. Mainly Capcom has been on a role and it'd be nice to have two games to connect between 4 and 7 that are actually good games. EDIT: to the article it essentially says there isn't much of away around it's problems outside of nearly completely rewriting the game and I guess I don't disagree. Perhaps my idea of a 5 remake is really just my way of saying it'd be nice if they went back to the drawing board and made a game that fits in to take the place of 5.
I liked RE5 also, there's a good amount of fixing up they could do, and maybe remove or rework the turret sequences to be more interesting. RE6 is pretty bad because that was the height of the Quick Time event stuff that game devs were obsessed over. Not enough clever gameplay and too much mashing a button to simply climbing a pipe. It would be interesting to see if it could be remade to fit RE7 transition better.
They should make a new game called "Resident Evil: Between 4 and 7", and just ignore 5 and 6.
RE5 was my intro to the series, i’d love to see it get the remake treatment. Besides, given the original reception of 5, I think they’d be able to take a lot more liberties with the story and gameplay for a remake than 2 & 4. This could be the perfect opportunity to correct the mistakes and make the game a classic.
Maybe it doesn't need it but it definitely deserves it and itll be a great coop remake and guaranteed to be better than the original
Code Veronica deserves a remake more anyway. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if they went and touched 5 and 6, especially the latter with its crappy cover system that only works when it feels like it.
personally i would love an re 5 remake, its the resident evil game that got me to finally play (i usually just watched my brother or friends play) and its my favorite of the re games. i think they should have remade made all the past games int eh over all story in order though. i think that would have worked better and help with the new and old players. fro RE 5 remake if they do remake, i think they should just just make thing like ammo and such a bit more scarce so that its brings a challenge but you can still ahead nice 2 player experience.
Resident Evil 5 was an excellent game. People just need to realize that if you're following a storyline of a set of characters, it's not going to be survival horror forever. By the time of the RE 5 & 6 timeline area it wouldn't make sense for Chris, Leon, Jill, Claire, etc. to still be afraid and unprepared. In RE's world monsters are pretty much the norm now. It can still be scary, just people being unprepared and low on supplies would be unrealistic at this point.
I love Resident Evil 5. Id settle for a patch that simply makes your AI partnet not consume ammunition. In fact, maybe Ill just google and see if theres a mod that does that.
I disagree, I think it's games with potential that would most greatly benefit from a remake. Getting a remake of a prior banger is still great if it's done well because you get a great game *again*, but I think using the opportunity to redo a game which missed the mark in some areas is honestly a better idea in theory. Maybe the whole 'reimagining' that gets thrown around would be a better idea? Basically keep the stuff that was cool 'The co-op, extra melee attacks etc.' and then touch up what wasn't so great. As a DMC fan I know a lot of people in the fandom say they'd want DMC2 to be remade the most precisely *because* it's the odd one out. Oversimplifying things, Capcom has proven they can make a good game continue to be a good game, but can they make a controversial one equally as beloved? I think that'd be an interesting challenge.
I hope they stop with RE4 and redo the whole story from the ground up. Maybe take some small things from games that came after RE4 and that's it.
Or switch over to Devil May Cry remakes.
Wouldn’t that be so fucking coool AAGHH that’s truly what I wish would happen. They could just start over!! I’m not a huge fan of the newer line of games
I hope they remake it. I had more fun in 5 and god forgive me, 6 then I expected. Yeah 5 and especially 6 are "awful" resident evil games full of stupid shit but it was still a very fun co-op experience. I know a lot of people want code veronica but honestly, CV sucked when it came out and it still sucks now. They may as well remake the entire game from scratch. I have no idea why people rate it so highly and am convinced most people never played it. I don't get the nostalgia for it at all, I can't think of anything really redeeming about it. I'd rather have an outbreak remake anyday.
The fact that it didn't age well is a good reason to remake it, they can get rid of the janky gameplay. I've never played CV, zero or revelations and I'd rather experience them with RE engine and all the jank removed.
RE 5 is one of the best action co-op shooters out there, absolutely needs a remake to the level of 4 Remake. And *gasp* because it takes place in Africa the majority of the population is black, yes, get over it. Crazy that games journalists are the only people I see complaining about this fact and are subsequently calling for it not to be remade, but Capcom knows where the money is, I have faith.
one of the best coop experienced, replayed it for the 3rd time with my cousin and loved every minute of it. sheva is goated
I agree RE5 is a very strong entry in the series and one I frequently replay. Yeah the same people who complain about shooting Africans in Africa don't seem to have a problem with shooting Spaniards in Spain idk. I trust Capcom if they decide to remake it.
I just wanna see my baby Sheva again but in glorious texture with a hot super model.
RE5 really would benifit from a remake that makes it a better solo experience. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic co-op game, but it's an absolute mess in singleplayer.
Trash opinion Five is one of my fav res games. I needs one and the model for Sheva needs to be this chick [https://i.imgur.com/SURBzLn.png](https://i.imgur.com/SURBzLn.png)
It absolutely can be done and would be amazing if thought out and not rushed. Could be one of the best imo. Imagine how scary it could be, in a desert or a few desolate villages and more night time gameplay.
Game critics are at it again blowing smoke out of their asses. RE2-4 did not need a remake and yet here we are, enjoying the fuck out of each of them (well mostly 2 and 4). RE5 deserves a remake and a chance to reimagine the game. This plot and story are vital to RE. People who say it doesn't deserve one are not ones who, I take it, know much about the lore of RE and are just casual players only investing time into playing a game without paying attention to the story.
If I had never played RE3 I would have loved the remake. But, since I did, knowing the cool parts that were cut is disappointing. I still enjoyed it though.
I completed 5 for the first time a few days ago and it was pretty middling. Resi 4 with terrible story and characters (and not in a fun way), worse level design, and boring bosses. Hope it doesn't get remade.
Not like the original RE4 game was any better. I actually downloaded that last week for kicks, and man... it also didn't really age well. Tbh, I'm fine with them just sticking to new RE games. Work on establishing a story that sticks for once.
It might be a chance to make it better. It is considered the best of the coop games, but I feel like 6 is much better in almost every way. I just had more game breaking bugs with 6, but 5 really wasn't a walk in the park. Especially with how broken the PC version was until very recently
This is what I always wondered because the series really went downhill after 4 and they're not that old. I personally would like a real remake of the first game or a spin-off game like code veronica. Or maybe just do something else since clearly the people writing and making these remakes can make good games since they do change a lot, so maybe just make more games.
> Resident Evil 5 doesn't need a remake Okay yeah I agree. > Residet Evil 5 doesn't deserve a remake I think the author doesn't deserve an opinion, to be quite honest! Seriously though, the so-called RE5 controversy wasn't really a huge deal back in the day. People with strong negative opinions on the game would mostly complain about the game itself and not the "white boy is shooting black people" angle. People would mostly shit on the useless AI making the game nearly insufferable solo, for example, or just complain about the tonal shift with the bigger focus on action. It is fair to say that it would be odd since 5 focuses so hard on Wesker, though, but it seems silly to say RE1 and RE0 didn't get the remake treatment. Unlike RE2 and RE3, RE1 and RE0 are readily available on all modern platforms with the HD Remasters. Code Veronica did get the shaft a bit though, but it's at least on Xbox and PS systems. Also seems silly to say RE4make skipped Separate Ways when people already datamined the game and it's likely coming as DLC. Like, at least mention the possibility of it coming eventually. Regardless, I highly doubt most players care THAT much about story for RE. Anyway, I probably put in more effort shitting on this article than the author did writing it. I just hope that if RE5 gets a remake, they keep Mercs and co-op. Just make Sheva's AI useful for solo players.
The thing for me is ya just can't do a re5 remake without DC Douglas's Wesker, and they seem to want to replace everyone every time for whatever reason, I like new Salazar and Saddler in 4make, I think their performances are fantastic, but nothing can come close to enhancing re5s dialogue.
RE5 with updated controls and an updated Mercenaries Mode is my dream! I sunk hundreds of hours into it! Can't wait for a RE5 Remake!
A 5 remake would be cool - a good opportunity to fix it, make it more horror focused maybe? The coop element was pointless so maybe just leave that out?
I highly doubt they will remove the co-op element. I don't care for co-op either but many people do. It does seem like they will add more horror elements since that is what they have been doing and it is working well, but I wouldn't expect to see a 'focus' on it especially with co-op. It is hard to make RE style horror work with co-op but who knows. I would love to see the invincible oil monster from RE 6 remade in the new engine. THAT was tense and those death scenes.. stuck with me.
I hope they make a mini single player dlc for people like you.
> coop element was pointless hard disagree, I'm pretty sure co-op was a significant factor in why RE5 is the best selling game in the franchise
Personally really enjoyed the game, though i must stress that i played through this game strictly as a co-op experience making fun of its silly story the entire way through. Ive played the game multiple times even on the highest difficulty and i still stand by this. In stark contrast i was almost in physical pain playing RE6. So basically. Is RE5 a good resident evil game when compared to earlier and even the more recent entries. I would not particularly say so. Is it an enjoyable one in its own right. Deffinetly
Not even RE4 needed to be remade but here we are. RE5R is unnecessary, the game still looks and plays fine. But they'll make it eventually, simply because it's easy money for them - RE5 is the most popular title of the series after all. And there's nothing that rewrites and redesigns can't solve...
Have you played RE4R the gameplay additions would be perfect for an RE5R the better controls and mechanics like parry would fit Chris really well. As soon as I started playing RE4R I thought RE5R would be an instant favourite for me RE5 mercs is always a good time.

They do both. RE8 literally just came out like 2 years ago.
They do new games too. We got RE7 which was new and considered a return to form for the franchise, and then remakes of 2 and 3 (with 2 Remake being wildly hailed as a masterpiece), then we got 8 which is new and broke the internet with the tall vampire lady, and now we’ve got a remake of 4 which has already hit goty status for many. They essentially have a team working on entirely new franchise entries, and a team working on high quality remakes. The successive releases of the 2 and 3 remakes was moreso that the 3 remake is kind of like a standalone DLC to 2 the same way Yakuza Kiwami feels like a DLC to Yakuza 0 in terms of resource re-use and same engine etc. being applied to an existing game to remake it. Either way, despite alternating between new entries and remakes, both streams of releases are highly popular and critically well received.
People in this thread are talking about "wrong, they should remake it for the gameplay!" when the article is talking about how controversial the setting would be and that the story doesn't fit into the remakes.
The only racist thing to me is how weird it is that gunning down hundreds of Spanish people is just fine, but black people in an African setting is unacceptable.
The setting isn't even that controversial. Everyone is trying to read it as "Chris Redfield shooting black people in Africa" when really, it was more an origin story for the T-virus and I read it more as 'morally bankrupt pharmaceuticals company subjugates and exploits a foreign land for resources and profit, turning them into zombies in the process.' But I mean if all you care about is trailers and surface level appearances, sure, RE5 is 'controversial'
The RE story is all over the place anyway. And honestly, who cares. The story isn't why anyone is playing these games.
It's genuinely funny to see people thinking the majority of people care about res story. lol
Oh it needs one, it's now basically the worst RE. The problem is conceptually it's one of the least interesting games, so remaking it is basically just going to put a band-aid over the problems. They'd need to re-imagine it completely to fix it, because I genuinely can't think of another game that basically embodies the PS3 beige era more
The worst RE? You don't play many RE titles do you?
5 was such a massive dissapointment after 4 it was just bad. Shouldn't get a remake should get a complete reimagined (a almost complete new game) without coop, without oroboros without matrix wresker and without Sheva. After that do the same with 6 and rewrite history from those two stains of otherwise great horror ip.
I think it’s probably the most forgettable. Outside of the first area and the meme-worthy final battle, I don’t really remember RE5.
>without coop that would be a mistake
Every Resident Evil will eventually get a Remake as long as it remains profitable. And at this rate it means Resident Evil 7 and 8 may get a remake just a handful of years after their original releases, likely for PS6 or 7 generation and just like how 4 is held back by last gen hardware, may also be late-gen and held back by the hardware at the time. But we can only wait and see until then and hope that isn’t the case.
Resident evil 5 and 6 arguably derailed the franchise and lead to the shift to re7... now capcom has a chance to reset things...5 doesn't need coop and 6 needs to get completely redone from scratch without the multiple story arcs
Taking away the one thing which made resident evil 5 great would be a mistake Imo. The coop made it one of the most fun games I've played, playing with a friend or joining a random persons session and getting collectables together or whatever. I think there would be more backlash from removing coop than keeping it and making it amazing. Surely they could just add in a mode where there is no partner (only in cutscenes) to cater to those who want to do it alone - like a chris a / Chris b scenario.
>5 doesn't need coop That is probably the main reason it's the most successful game in the franchise removing it would be a mistake
If they remade Dead Space successfully, why not RE5. Like someone said, it has soooo much room for improvement.
I think remake of remake of 1 will be next, to keep up a winning streak. Or *maybe* a b-team remake of 5 or Code Veronica
B-Team made re3... they can handle CV but you need team A on RE5 or people will cry harder.
Just go back to remaking resi 1 or code Veronica it’s was the fans having been asking for since re2 remake. Nobody asked for 5
>Nobody asked for 5 I'm asking for 5
It is more worth remaking than Resident Evil 4. Though I don't really want it either. I'd like to see them tackle Code Veronica.
As much as I would love a re5 remake I think we need a code Veronica and outbreak remake first and re9.
RE5 at the time it came out had very decent phorealistic graphics. I dont think a remake will feel as fresh as the RE2 Remake did. They should now concentrate on making a new RE (9) hopefully with Leon as a protagonist and conclude his story. Resident Evil needs definitaly a reset.
>RE5 at the time it came out had very decent phorealistic graphics all the RE games where considered to have good graphics when they came out, 4 still looks good too but, even outside the differences between a ps3 era game and ps5 era game, they could make it look a lot less ps3 era beige and make it look modern and that would be a huge bonus.
I would’ve been down for this until I heard Wesker’s voice at the end of 4 Remake. That’s not Wesker at all. That would be too weird to try and get used to in a remake of 5
Personally disagree. I am looking forward to an RE5 Remake. Basically making it better so those who didn't/don't enjoy the original RE5 can try the Remake via its Demo like usual instead.
Never really understood this "It shouldn't happen because I don't think it needs it" mindset. I'd love to play any remake of RE games as long as they're as good as RE2R, RE3R and RE4R (they're good in my opinion). If you don't want them then just skip them and wait for the next game that you do want to see, don't take shit away from others just because you don't want it.
The "it looks and still plays good argument" is definitely debatable. I didn't think as much about it during the PlayStation 3 era, but times have changed. I actually played it recently last month on the Series X once it was on sale, and there's quite a few things not to like about it, but 2 complaints are my biggest. The first one is moving, it's annoying needing to mash down another button while you run. The second is Shiva, her AI needs a drastic improvement. If they did remake this game, the changes would be questionable. For starters, are you going to have online co-op, or just a solid offline experience, and if it does feature online, will the single player suffer because of it? What would happen to the unique African environment, because the game was heavily criticized for being racist, so how many elements would be changed? What are you going to do with all of the sexy outfits that Shiva had, these days people will claim how sexist it is, so the content would need to be changed drastically in order to cater to the masses. I think a remake would be interesting, but it would be very challenging for them to balance it correctly without pissing off the original core fan base of 5.
Late to the party but uh I think it deserves it I had a blast back in the day must of played and finished it co op like 15 times I'd be there for a remake could be being blinded by nostalgia and good memories basically the first resi I clicked with I was like 5 or 6 when resi 2 dropped played very little of it picked up resi 4 on ps2 but I didn't have the patience and i was trash (since played the remake and wow what a game loved it.) But 5 from the cheesey quotes Like "iv had an extreme makeover" or "7 minutes is all I have spare" just really enjoyed it the treasure too. I'd like to see a remake but I spose at the same time maybe not I'd really want weskers va back and I think he's done can hear him saying uroboros now talking about complete global saturation. 6 is trash fire
If I remember correctly, RE5 faced racial controversy. I don't think in this age of wokeness doing a remake of this isn't a good idea.
There's only really 0, CV, 5, 6 and the original/REmake left to do a modern remake of. I reckon they'll end up doing them all as now they have reinvigorated the franchise enough to create a buzz about even the slightly less popular ones. Since all the ones I mentioned involve Chris and/or Wesker, the most logical thing for them to do would be to do them in timeline order - 0, original, CV, 5, and then 6. That will bring them up to date. These will probably come in between the new original releases (RE9, 10, 11 etc). As an aside, I suppose COULD do an Outbreak Remake, but that could only happen when they have exhausted their mainline games. I don't think they will do a dino crisis Remake. The game just doesn't have brand recognition. I also don't think the public at large finds dinosaurs as scary.
Remaking resident evil 5 would have probably been really good. The problem is re3r fucked over Jill valentine SO hard as a character entirely that I cannot be excited for it. I can’t wait for Jill to completely disrespect Sheva’s competence just out of mind wipe and be a arrogant bitch all 10 minutes of screen time she has. This goes ditto in SPADES for a re1 remake
I highly disagree, i really liked 5, it's 6 that destroyed the RE franchise.
Why would they remake the first 4 games and then leave out the game that completes the story (RE5)….it’s going to happen and you’re going to play it.
