That would be great, just combine the two and change the story to fit it all in one big game. Call this remake Resident Evil Origin. Billy could be scrapped or escapes or dies early on and Rebecca will have some scenes where she actually meets Jill and Barry. The ending will have Rebecca, Chris, Jill, and Barry together at the chopper.
This game would be as long as RE4 Remake. Except it'll be in the gameplay style of RE2 R. It'll be the best RE game ever.
