I’d rather this than 5 and 6. 5 isn’t the worst RE game by a long stretch but it isn’t anywhere near RE2R, RE4R, and RE7 level good, and 6 is outright dogshit.
Zero and CV were both good at the time. Each has its own problems and both will require some fairly major changes, but many current gamers won’t have played the originals so as long as they’re closer to RE4R in terms of quality than RE3R I think they’ll sell well enough.
I do think Zero and RE1 could be combined into a single game though. Hopefully they have a full on RE2R-esque remake of RE1 in mind for the future. Give it some new and expanded areas in the forest, grounds, and lab and an unlockable first person/VR mode and I’d be in day 1.
After Village I fear for RE9. Really didn’t like that game.
