I'm all for this. Having the entire back catalogue of RE games getting full remakes is freaking amazing. Its not like they aren't still releasing mainline games either. I wish more devs would show this kind of respect to their older gems.
Because I've been through both the original and the remake a billion times and I will happily buy a fresh new remake because it's one of my favourite games of all time. There is simply no gaming location as iconic, memorable or atmospheric as the Spencer Mansion.
Considering how many RE sequels and spinoffs continue to reference/repackage the first game, why not just go ahead and remake it with new content and surprises? It's been long enough at this point.
I'm all in for this also! I think they need to expand it once again by introducing new types of zombies or other creatures, more difficult puzzles and different map layout. The ideal for me would be to have all those same feelings when I first played the original: Where do I need to go? What do I need to do?
Why not ? Original remake is form 24 years ago on GameCube, we got hd remaster of it 11 years ago with slight upgrades. Proper remake in style of re2r is more than welcome.
I think Resident Evil 1 might feel quite slight now by todays standards, and it would be a good candidate to add in some extra game modes to aid longevity.
I've always enjoyed zombie hordes in games like Days Gone, Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, and although Resident Evil has dabbled with Mercenaries it's still only a dozen or so zombs at one time. It would be pretty cool to have a proper horde mode in a Resi game.
At least we'll eventually be on that path once all the mainline remakes are out. I doubt they'll remake spinoff games and don't even think they'll remake RE6 either.
The HD Remaster of the GameCube Remake is still beautiful and it holds up today
You can change the control scheme to not be tank controls
The HD Remaster is all you need to play in regards to if you want to play the first game. There really is no point to remake it again when the GameCube Remake already looks fantastic and plays great. Really doesn't need updating at all
Same with Resident Evil 0 but I admit that game does have issues in it's gameplay design
This is pointless at all to remake the first game again
If anything remake Resident Evil Code Veronica and Resident Evil 5
What I find interesting is how many remakes and remasters we are getting nowadays in comparision to new games. I have been getting tired of remakes in general too
