''With only about an hour left before the doors of the Electronic Entertainment Expo closed, I ran from room to room trying to see what I had missed. The Capcom room was one that had eluded me the entire trip, so I made sure to run into the room like I was supposed to be there and jumped in line for some hands-on time with the PlayStation 3 version of Resident Evil 5 (fun fact: we overheard them mention that they were told just days before the event that they needed to feature the PS3 version, and had to rush to set up because of it).
I eventually sat down and began to play, familiarizing myself with the controls. I don't know what I expected, but for some reason I found myself surprised at the game's similarity to Resident Evil 4. It controlled identically, and I didn't understand at first why I couldn't strafe, or shoot while moving. I eventually put myself back into the Resident Evil mindset and realized that this was simply its prequel, with ridiculous graphics.''

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.
