Resident Evil 1 should never be made something different than it is. That game nailed everything on the first try. The remake improved some things, while making other things worse. But Resident Evil started as an exploration horror game with some light puzzle elements and rudimentary 3D combat. It was never intended as an action game, nor as a shooter. I'd rather the series at least remembered its roots through the first game, instead of turning even that one into another shooter. That mansion was mostly empty; making it the set of another action game would not work.
RE2 and 3 were perfect for remaking, because their action-y nature was at odds with the original's controls and gameplay. RE1's template would never work optimally with tight rooms and corridors filled with enemies, or with fixed camera angles.
Code Veronica is a disaster of a game that I'd rather people just let go into oblivion.
But if they must remake it, hell, remake it from the ground up. Leave absolutely nothing unchanged, and pretend the original never came out like you're doing with RE1, Capcom. We deserve this. YOU deserve this.
