Survival horror games have generally been a lonely affair, but with Resident Evil 5 Capcom wants to change all that.
By introducing a new character -- Sheva Alomar -- the firm has given players a compelling reason to play through multiple times, not only with a computer-controlled Sheva tailing your Chris Redfield, but also with a friend via the game's seamless online and local co-op modes.
Players are able to heal one another, combine forces for rudimentary team attacks and solve puzzles that require more than one strong body.

Circana data shows Resident Evil 5 as the best selling Resident Evil game in the US, ahead of Resident Evil 4 remake and Village.
So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

New leaks from Dusk Golem detail cancelled Resident Evil projects, including a Rebecca focused Revelations game, while stating no Resident Evil 5 remake is in development.
Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

Dusk Golem claims a Resident Evil 5 remake is not coming this year, with a Code Veronica remake expected instead.
Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.
