Do you want to see a Resident Evil 4 remake someday?

Yeah. I'm hoping it's false too. But knowing how greedy Capcom is, it could be possible. I think they see RE4 as being highly profitable.

Like it or not RE4 is an old game in dire need of remake, or at very least Bluepoint styled remaster.

Can't wait to see what they did with it next year.
 
I mean RE4 in the RE engine with updated controls and a new twist on some of the awesome boss fights would be worth playing through for sure plus RE4 has some of the best replay value on the series.
 
It's probably gonna heavily refer back to Nemesis. It probably won't feel quite as cheesy either.

Anyway, when is all the console news meant to be happening this year?
 
I would rather they remake code veronica instead. RE4 just doesn't need remaking in my opinion. And yet, as Capcom well know, I will probably buy it regardless.

On another note I really hope they bring back characters such as Claire, Jill, Billy, Rebecca etc in future games. Getting a bit sick of Chris by now...

I never found Chris especially interesting as a character despite Capcom doubling down on his development and struggles. The other main cast of characters should be in the spotlight.

Anyway, REmake 4 does sound more interesting storywise. The village and most of the castle were the games main strengths tbh, save for a few noteworthy enemies encountered later in the game. I wouldn’t mind if they cut the island out entirely and add concepts from 3.5 into the castle for a more horror vibe.
 
Well, I talk to Michael Does Life a lot about the RE4 remake, and we both agree that there's no point to the game being done at all. In fact, what they need to do is the CVX remake, then drop the remakes, especially since RE3 was so dumbed down and mundane. This 'being stuck in the past' mentality with Capcom just ain't healthy. Yeah, RE4 is just fine as it is. It's also why we got so many third person shooters kidding on they are survival horror titles.

To remake that game, suggests it's a cash grab. Who knows? Maybe they can give sub-villains a more detailed back story, somehow.

I'll wait for CODE: Veronica and I have no interest in buying RE4 Remake... I've already told that before and I keep my word, this unnecessary remake made me abandon Remakes for good, don't really care about anymore Remakes until CODE: Veronica comes out and I'm just here for Village. Unless maybe 15 years from now I might consider trying out RE4 Remake lol

And yes, CODE: Veronica Remake is very much still possible. As I posted before, Monique Alves from Resident Evil Database has a reliable source who told her CODE: Veronica Remake is being heavily considered and could very well be greenlit after production on Village ceases. This goes in line with what Dusk Golem said to me personally about CODE: Veronica still being possible after development on RE8 reaches a conclusion (he told me it wasn't just speculation from his part but somehow "educated" speculation) Dusk knows more than what he's telling.
On top of that, Monique managed to chat privately with Dusk about RE8 and according to her, Dusk Golem said the exact same thing as she told us about CODE: Veronica Remake without Monique even touching the subject... Coincidence?

The only strange thing is that RE4 Remake is coming out first (for whatever reason). But CODE: Veronica has some pretty good chances after Village. We all know how this community works and I believe a few months after the release of Village we will have leaks about CODE: Veronica lol

Forgot to point this out, according to Dusk and Monique's talk there are 3 RE games currently in development:

- Village: Resident Evil (2021);
- RE4 Remake (2022 apparently and I still don't give a shit);
- Unknown RE game (2023???)

After Village ceases production, CODE: Veronica is the likely candidate to take its place. That's all and let's hope Village delivers and that CODE: Veronica gets the remake it deserves.
Might be a good thing, let M-Two take charge of RE4 (it is unnecessary after all haha) and DEV1 handles CV! ;)

I don't care about remakes in general. They really aren't doing a good job without Shinji Mikami.

When he made the first game again in the early 2000s, the man did it to fulfill his original ambition, made impossible due to the PlayStation's limitations. Now hardware is better and yet, games take a nosedive in quality. It's so incredibly sad.

I feel like Capcom are just milking the series. It's sad that they cannot move past 1998. OK, we understand that is the golden age of the survival horror genre. But there's a future out there. It's just a tad bit ridiculous that they cannot code crows and spiders in 2020, yet they did it in such a convincing way back in 1996. It just doesn't add up. ?
 
Exactly. It gets distracting when one game focuses on the here and now aspects, while the next game is a soulless remake that doesn't even include most of the original ideas, creatures, etc. For example, the plant men in RE2 are laughably bad. The same with the RE3 Gammas. Like, what the hell? For one, it should have been spiders. Gammas were only in the hospital section in the 1999 version. Two, why was Jill even running around in the shit pit anyway? That was only in RE2. Not 3. And ya messed up Nemesis. He looked like a dog mixed with the Queen Xenomorph. Like, come on, Capcom!

SMH. ?
 
At first I was a bit skeptical about it, but after reading articles about how it'll supposedly bring in new lore, expand on the original story and introduce new gameplay, I'm honestly looking forward to it. I'm also really anxious to see what RE4 will look like with the RE Engine.

What I'm most excited about though is seeing all of the characters come back to life after so many years (almost 2 whole decades by the time the game is going to be released). I really look forward to seeing what a remastered Krauser, Luis and Wesker will look like, and it'll be nice to see good ol' Ashley return with her annoying self. Hopefully they'll give these side characters a little more screen time and dialogue than they had in the original, especially Luis and Krauser. And of course I look forward to seeing the enemies and villains return as well, particularly Salazar and the creepy-ass cultists.

I just hope they don't radically alter the story or change the characters too much. I also hope they don't toy around with the characters' designs like they've been doing to Chris for so long. They should bring back the face-models they used for Leon and Ada in RE2R, and stay faithful to the original designs of the other characters for their remastered counterparts. Also, please, for the love of God, developers: add in some extra modes this time. At least bring back the Mercenaries. I was EXTREMELY dissapointed to see no extra modes for RE3R. I was hoping to see the Mercenaries return, but we literally got NOTHING instead. Not cool, CAPCOM.

Also please let us swap between the new soundtrack and sound effects with the old ones again. Seriously, if they don't bring back Leon's "AUUUGHHHH", then I'm not touching it.
