RE:1 So RE1 may be getting remade again...

❤️ I've enjoyed all the remakes thus far and it will be interesting to get a modern remake of the original if it happens.
My only concern is that it's quite a short game even with the additions of the first remake, particularly with the faster navigation of the modern camera and controls.

I'm glad you can be more optimistic than me and Mert.

I don't think they can cut too many bosses. They all play crucial plot twists in the game. They may even finally provide players with the proper ending where Rebecca and Barry feature in the same ending - if we are lucky. But considering what's not in 2 and 3, I ain't feeling confident Capcom will remember to do this.

So lately, I found myself with no money. I only intended to sell off RE5 and over. A shop called CeX wouldn't accept 7 as the disc is scratched. But yesterday, I had to sell the original RE2 and 3 on the GameCube, and some other games.

While I feel bad about doing this, I could get the games again on the PS Network, as they don't cost too much. But they are only on sale on the PS3 as they are of course counted as being retro by today's standards.

This would be one of those rare instances where I wouldn’t mind them retconning RE0 and just combining it into an RE:1 where the game can be greatly expanded upon and have more areas to explore in the Arklay Mountains. This can serve to make the plots of both games flow much better together. One of my favorite scenarios from Oubreak games was Flashback, so seeing more areas like that where we get to explore would be a real treat. This would be the perfect opportunity to explore more of Alpha and especially Bravo team on their activities and relationships with the main cast.

Of course it’s easy to be cynical of remakes but with Capcom they can be hit or miss with a lot of their games. RE:4 was something no one expected to be good and rival the original so we will have to wait and see what they have in store for us next.

A few insiders don't seem to be so sure it's in development.

Personally, I think it will bomb. But I do like Rip's suggestion of elements to RE0 being incorporated. I am not sure how it would work, as Rebecca and Billy's adventure was fairly lengthy.

This is because Capcom has really bad and inconsistent business practices, they like to drastically change developers with every game hence the convoluted mess that is RE.

Absolutely remake Biohazard 1. There's lots of stuff they wanted to do with the original (expanded courtyard, more character depth, Wesker's motives better explained, etc) but time and budget forbade them. The REmake added some of those things, but not a lot and instead opted to focus on Lisa Trevor, which was never part of the original script and kinda just thrown in there.

1996...
'96/Rebirth will forever be my synonymous GOAT of the series, especially having started in '96 at launch fortunately, so this is what I've been waiting for more than anything. On one hand I was a bit disappointed they they opted to start with RE:2 at the time, given I knew it'd spark more remakes. I personally was in the minority of being okay with a reboot and accepting more creative liberties. With that said however, working around the 30th anniversary and being able to use the latest technology, it'll benefit the most in the long run. If there ever was a game to chase photo realism it should be the first entry and with the new REX engine it's the perfect poster child.

After playing SH2R definitely remake Bio1. Not only will it attract new younger fans but it will also attract older gamers who never quite could get into it "back in the day" and experience it from a newer modern perspective.

Not sure exactly how many people like me exist who are willing to tread old ground with a new lens but it's a pretty good feeling and should be reciprocated as much as possible.

Get on it Capcom! Yes there "already is a REmake" but I'm just imagining fighting Yawn with an over the shoulder perspective and thinking how cool it would be.
