I've loved all three of the recent remakes, yes, even 3. I think Capcom has been knocking it out of the part with these by retaining the survival horror aspect that old school fans want, while also streamlining the gameplay to make them more action focused than the original games they're based on. I honestly don't know whether I would flip out more for CV remake or 1 re-remake. They're both excellent phenomenal games, and the original remake of 1 is still my all time favorite RE game. CV was actually my first RE game, and aside from being hands down the most punishing game in the franchise, its story, characters, bosses, and settings are among my favorites. It really seems like the perfect marriage between the more scifi horror of old RE games and the more supernatural horror of the more recent titles. I think it would be a huge hit.
As for the black sheep, RE5, I actually just recently played and beat the original RE5 for the first time at the very tail end of 2023. There are things I liked about it, but it's definitely my least favorite mainline RE game I've ever played. It barely felt like an RE game in nearly every way possible, but I think they could easily fix this with a modern remake making making the African village setting a lot more gritty and less like it was trying to be Blackhawk Down. As for Sheva and the co-op gameplay mechanic, I think it would be easy to remove this since her presence was pretty irrelevant 98% of the time. Instead, I'd have sections of the game you played exclusively as Chris and then other's you'd play as Sheva, but at no point you'd have to rely on her throughout the game, share resources, or do those silly puzzles where she had to hold a lever or whatever from across a certain part of the game. The original co-op feature was a cool idea, but ultimately somewhat pointless and if anything it just made the game worse. I don't know, just an idea about how to make RE5 more appealing, but I feel like this would be the least likely to be remade on account of how much newer it is than either of the other games Capcom could remake.
Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread and make it an RE remake thread. I just love talking about RE lol, especially the newer remakes.
