Should Capcom remake Resident Evil 5 next?

The Resident Evil 4 remake puts Capcom in an awkward position. Should they remake Resident Evil 5 next or should they consider other options?

-Foxtrot1159d ago

They should remake it but as something totally different

Remove co-op and do the stuff in the RE4.5 beta, Zombies, Barry Burton, more Jill, Merchants, night time levels, Uroboros having a smaller role etc.

No point repeating the same mistakes, it's their chance to fix things without fully rebooting.

blackblades1158d ago

I wouldnt say totally different, but some changes like walking and shooting should be included.

richardmmorales1158d ago

If only they would do that with the hook-man and previous versions of RE4.
Those seemed way better than the RE4 that was released. RE4 is was let to all the bad decisions that led to RE5 and RE6. It becoming more action oriented vs survival horror. I know people loved RE4. RE4 was a good game but was a bad Resident Evil. Probably why the original ended up becoming Devil May Cry too.

Darkwatchman1158d ago

RE 5 was great and I’d still take the co-op. The only one that needs actual massive change is 6. And not the co-op focus. The extremely linear and directed and scripted nature of its campaigns. Co-op is great in RE as 5 showed and on a purely mechanical level, RE 6 feels great. The combat and the movement feels the best it has in the entire series. But it’s the game designed around those mechanics that needs reworking

thesoftware7301158d ago

Nope, I strongly disagree lol.

Loved the co-op in the game.

spambot08151158d ago

no co-op, no buy, just saying

I’d like to catch up first. Zero, 1, and Code Veronica.

Honestly, if they write 5/6 out of the lineage, it would be a better deal. Maybe they will do that with the RE4 remake.

jambola1159d ago

I'd rather they remake games that are a bit older than this

blackblades1158d ago (Edited 1158d ago )

I say that with other studios like square, why not remake one of the old pixel FF or something. Bring life into those characters with designs but the I disagree to hell. In general games before ps3 era needs a remake or at least before ps2 era. While the rest after should be remastered

-Foxtrot1159d ago

"Maybe they will do that with the RE4 remake"

I wish

Even if Ada fails to get the Master Plagas sample in the end or something and Wesker just considers it "an unfortunate loss"

micdagoat191157d ago

I tried to play through zero a few months ago and it is so boring and tedious I quit. Ive done 1-3 all over now and am just waiting for the remake of 4 to jump back in. Code veronica def needs a remake along with 0

Orchard1158d ago

No. Do CV, 1, 0, Outbreak 1, Outbreak 2, etc first.

Profchaos1158d ago

A modern 1 remake would be nice apparently close Veronica is not in the works.
I'd like 5 eventually I genuinely enjoyed it but not enough time has passed to warrant a remake and a remaster has technically already been done on PS4 and x1 which was just PC high

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

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.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker41d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_9241d ago

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.

MehmetAlperTR41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

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..

Neonridr40d ago

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.

neutralgamer199240d ago

Levii

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

Tapani40d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

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.

thesoftware73041d ago

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.

Redgrave40d ago

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.

DarXyde40d ago

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.

Alos8840d ago

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.

__y2jb40d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

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.
