The game's surroundings were truly sun-drenched and remarkable, but the whole experience was more of a mixed bag. Anyone who's looking for an action game will likely enjoy Resident Evil 5 if its entirety plays out like the E3 demo did. It does have good, RE4-style controls, but those may feel cumbersome to first-person shooter veterans. Your traveling companion has respectable AI, though her presence detracts from the purity of a "survival horror" experience even more. By no means is it an awful title - on the contrary, it's coming together nicely - but it just doesn't give off that Resident Evil vibe anymore. Didn't Lost Planet already fill this role?

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.

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.
well, let us decide that.
