They need to do Code Veronica. Desperately
That's a pleasant surprise (assuming it's true). REmake was over 20 years ago and a new remake in the style of the RE2&3 remakes has a lot of potential.

Booo. The remake is already perfect.

It's about damn time. I really dislike the old-timey tank controls and fixed camera angles.

You mean Outbreak
If you read this signature, then that meant that I had control of what you read for 5 SECONDS!!
Honestly if the could turn 0 into OTS and fix a few features it might just be a pretty good game and still feel fresh
  • side game RE's are overrated trash.
  • RE5 remake can come later if anyone really wants it. Discussion around the game is too fucking stupid.
  • RE1 is a special game to Capcom and it's the 30th anniversary, it was always going to be remade again.
It's not the end of the world, but we can see it from here.
How about they just release remastered versions of the first three REs? Now that's something I'd actually spend money on.

They can't, they need a game with Wesker as a primary focus and 1 is the best spot. They can easily do another remake in the style of 2 - 4's remakes. But they only barely put Wesker in the end of 4, and considering his entire presence in 5 is based on the Chris - Wesker relationship, it makes sense to do a game with both Chris and Wesker.

The REmake is already the best of the remakes. Not sure why they're doing that.
REmake is my favorite in the series by far. It makes me sad that we can't have games in that style anymore. 3rd person action games just aren't scary.

Doing over the shoulder style and adding/changing story elements like the other recent remakes would make it a different experience than REmake.

But the existence of a new RE1 remake probably means the old remake won't get ported to any new platforms so I could see being upset about that.

Hmm...
They should just update the graphics and voice acting, get rid of save ribbons, and leave everything else the same.

Limited saves is a good mechanic if you want to build tension. Part of what makes the original game work is all the limited resources. You are always managing your resources and that includes saves. By limiting saves you get the type of consequences for dying that causes fear. Similar to what Dark Souls mantes to do without actually being a horror game. Nothing makes an enemy scarier than knowing if you die there will be consequences. If you just reload from the last checkpoint right before the enemy appeared it's not really scary.

If they get rid of the spiders for this one too I will be wailing in agony and sorrow.

Reremake

I'm not here for friends. I'm here for the truth to the best of my knowledge of it, even if it's not what people want to hear.
Probably going to get heat for this, but I think I'm the only person that really didn't like RE1R (the 2002 game). Was my first Resident Evil game, and didn't like the controls, the Crimson Head Mechanics, Chris having only 6 inventory slots (how does anyone defend this?), boss fights, or lore inconsistencies such as the fact the canon version of the RE1 events is in the Umbrella Chronicles.

Glad I pushed on and gave its sequel RE2 and the games afterward a chance. Really enjoyed a lot of the games despite RE1R giving me a bad first impression.

Apparently RE2R and onward are redoing the story and setting a new continuity, so the events of that game may not exist in the new continuity. Will be interesting to see how a RE5R works without Code Veronica though or particularly RE6R, since the Code Veronica virus was part of what made the C-Virus.

Are you suggesting that 5 isnt a game with both Chris and Wesker?

It's the lowest selling of the main series. They probably don't think a remake would sell well enough to be worth it financially.

Why? Theyre trying to reach an entirely new audience of modern gamers that didnt grow up on tank controls. Its an archaic control scheme that doesnt resonate with people who have spent years playing games that have allowed much more fluid motion and increased control over how your character moves.

Doing a facelift only would be a good way to lose out on many of the sales that made RE2R and RE3R such smashing commercial successes.

they just need to make sure they dont give it to the team that did RE3R. >_>
Hmm...
I grew up on the OG's and they'll always have a special place in my heart but the controls make them unplayable for me so I love that they're doing a modern remake.

There's literally no chance this will be better than the GameCube game.

It would have zero backstory whatsoever unless they did flashbacks which would be stupid. Do the first game which establishes both Chris and Wesker in this remake version of the series, which just makes the most sense.

Good. The first remake has aged terribly. The controls and fixed camera angles are actual garbage in 2024.

I agree, but if they're doing RE1 Code Veronica could be right around the corner since Chris plays a big part in both of them.

If true, how would they change it? Over the shoulder works, but going be tricky in the tight halls.

will they relax on ammo? New areas?

RE2 handled it well, don't see why RE1 would need much different aside from maybe making the hallways a bit wider.

Besides OTS, they could definitely add new areas. The mansion layout could be expanded a bit and some things shifted around. There could be more buildings on the mansion grounds. The lab area was always pretty small and could be expanded. Maybe new enemies and story elements (similar to how Lisa Trevor was added in the 2002 remake). It could also be an opportunity to differentiate Chris and Jill's games a lot more.

Maybe if they change it so each ink ribbon pickup only gives you one or something. Make them more rare altogether. I was never hurting for ink ribbons in the originals, and from what I understand of most players they generally weren't, either. Unless you're saving every 15 minutes of progress you'll likely be swimming in them by the time you get to the end of the game.

If they can't rebalance it better they might as well just do it RE4 style and just make the typewriter a hard savepoint.

the limited saves thing is more annoying than scary

it just means you have to redo stuff you already did
