"Capcom sent out a curious e-mail earlier today.
The link goes to this site, which makes no mistake that something came from Kijuju, the African village where Resident Evil 5 is set. The mouse controls a lone candle which can be used to scroll from one end of the wall to the other.
The following passages are found on the site
* Wesker is a liar!
* Progenitor Virus
* Sheva knew
* they are they are they are
* they are in Kijuju
* Seashell is evil
* The Kennedy Report
* Raccoon City wasn't the end
* Majini
* Where is Ozwell
* Flashbacks can't stop them
* Las Plagas
* Uroboros
* pg67a/w
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.
Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.
Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..
people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake
Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6
It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.
RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.
RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.
RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.
Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.
6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.
In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.
Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.
The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.
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.
As someone who works in interactive advertising. I have to say kudos to Capcom for stepping up with the big boys and trying to do something different with their advertising. You hardly ever see game companies really put any effort into their marketing efforts. I'm not even an RE fan and I'm intrigued. I wonder what it means.
I don't fall for marketing ploys usually, but these stupid viral sites always suck me in.
am I the only one that...the more I see of this title...the less excited about it I get?...I don't know...it looks great at times...and not so much in others...
to me Gears sort of took the next step from Re4 that was needed...and arguably did what Capcom should have, which was not even pretend its a horror game, or from a franchise until that point only focused on survival horror...
with Gears 2 pushing that even further (online disappointments aside), i get less and less excited to going back to Re4's control scheme and pacing...and continued lack of horror...that is of course assuming the rumors of 'gears controls' are false...and that the game is as unscary as the current crop of videos portray...
maybe its Dead Space that did it...as they did a great job of keeping it nice and creepy, yet having excellent gears inspired pacing...all wrapped up with its own 'stretigic dismemberment' mechanic...too bad DS didn't have co-op, as if that was the case...RE5 would arguably have nothing on it...at least so far...
its not the mecha of shooters, doesn't even come close.
