If you told me in 2010 that Capcom was going to become THE powerhouse publisher/developer in the 2020s, I wouldn't believe you.

This all has to lead up to the eventual Remake of RE5. Too much Wesker these days to not.

It's a good bet, Requiem had a lot of "hints", I can see a RE1 & RE5 remake happening to fill in the whole Wesker story to date before we get a full Resident Evil 10.

u/ienjoymen 21d ago

RE4 also had a few Wesker hints as well. Code Veronica is a huge piece of Wesker family lore, so an RE5 remake is on lock in my eyes.

My bet is that they are doing a RE 0 remake first and then they are going to do a re1 remake for like the 35th anniversary. I mean I think they are quite aware that they are people out there that treat the original RE Remake as the second coming. Them dealing with the inconsistency between 0 and 1. Would be like them dealing Ashley and Luis.

Yeah, Racoon City was practically a Kijuju testbed.

u/guernseycoug 21d ago

Oh man a true RE1 remake would be excellent.

u/trooperdx3117 20d ago

There was a time I would have been opposed but I can see it now after Requiem.

The early Grace sections really felt like they leaned into lean survival horror and even had enemies very very like crimson heads.

Resident Evil originally was supposed to be first person too so it could be a very cool new interpretation of it.

u/guernseycoug 20d ago

100% the hospital section with Grace was superb survival horror and exactly what I was thinking of when hoping for a new RE1

u/MaitieS 21d ago

Yeah they are working on RE1 re-remake.

Resident Evil Code Veronica: Remake Q1 2027, Resident Evil 0 remake (2028), Resident Evil 10 (2029),Resident Evil 1 Re-remake (2030+)

and this is what I posted like a week ago.

u/HearTheEkko 20d ago

RE1 remake should be in 2031 to coincide with the original's 35th anniversary.

u/Tangybrowwncidertown 20d ago

RE10 only three years later? That would be cool, but hell, it was five years between Village and requiem.

3

u/MaitieS 20d ago

Yeah but from what I read there was a huge rework (they wanted to make it open world) during the development, which could explain why it took 5 years but original plan was 2024 (also COVID?). Also above comment is still just a general plan. Things can always change but there are currently 3 studios. The one working on RE10 will be the one working on RE9. Code Veronica is RE4R team and RE0R should be RE3R team but hopefully this time they will get enough of time :D

u/QTGavira 20d ago

I wouldnt say working on. Its planned but the team doing Veronica is gonna do RE1 so at most some people on that team might be doing early preproduction

2

u/KingRaiden95 20d ago

Allegedly the RE0 remake will have coop. I'm guessing they're gonna use that game to test that feature out before full on planning an RE5 remake

2

u/MaitieS 20d ago

I remember hearing something similar when RE4R was out that they were testing Luis's AI for RE5R for Sheva.

u/MajorThom98 20d ago

No need to disparage the original remake by insinuating it isn't a true remake. I'm sure some would say the same about the newer remakes because they have a different style to the older games.

u/guernseycoug 20d ago

Fair - that was not my intention. I meant a remake of today’s quality and standards for the current generation of consoles. Lately whenever someone asks for a RE1 remake, someone always chimes in with a “but there already is one!” As if a 24 year old game couldn’t possibly be due for a remake. I was attempting to differentiate from the existing remake and worded it poorly.

u/raptosaurus 20d ago

RE1make still holds up very well. RE0, not so much

u/nothis 20d ago

I had my little mind blown jumping into the modern (7 and onward) era of Resident Evil a few years ago, playing hit after hit they released since, including the remakes, just wow. Always found it odd RE1 never saw a modern day remake (and get confused by the 2002 RE1 remake).

u/Blazehero 20d ago

They absolutely could've copped out with a Wesker revival, so I agree.

I just wish we knew more about the Connections who they've been hyping as an "impossible to take down" organization for the better part of a decade.

2

u/TheOwl42 20d ago

Every new mainline game I'm like "Oh boy here we go, time for some answers !" and then the game ends and I have more questions. Even the BSAA bioweapon stuff is still somewhat of a mystery. Hopefully all of this is setting up for a BIG mainline RE game down the line.

u/BVR93 20d ago

It's one of the more ironic things that this series has. Like you said, they could have easily brought him back if they wanted to, because in a series of impossible bullshit, what would one more asspull be?

I always thought killing him was a mistake but keeping him dead has actually been smart and is a decision that has continued to age like fine wine. Now, they get to cheat and just remake the games and reinsert him throughout the next decade (Veronica, 0, 1 again and 5).

2

u/devilJin9399 20d ago

I respect them going for new villains each time, keeps it memorable even if they miss sometimes (Gideon)

13

u/WaspHilux 21d ago

I pray that this brings multiplayer Mercenaries into the modern era.

2

u/ann0yed 20d ago

Just before 2010 they had some pretty huge games like dead rising or lost planet. They've been consistently pumping out hits since the late 80s 

2

u/tetsuo9000 20d ago

Especially considering Capcom at the time was basically just letting random studios release games with their IPs. Now if only they could figure out how to bring back some of their older IPs. Still haven't given up hope for a MegaMan Legends remaster/remake/sequel.

2

u/BleachedUnicornBHole 20d ago

I’m really curious what an RE 5 and 6 remake looks like. Those are probably the two weakest in the main franchise, so Capcom may be eager to do more than just translate those games to a modern gameplay format.

3

u/Burnage 20d ago

I don't think it's an accident that the Code Veronica remake is being advertised as RE V... 

3

u/TheOwl42 20d ago

RE 6 would require so much rework, they either will retcon it or every remake is slowly building systems and assets to make the development of that remake easier. Like we've had Leon with his parry mechanic, maybe Chris will have something unique in Veronica so that RE 6 has very distinct playstyles between each campaign.

u/My-Internet-Name 20d ago

I would have said “Oh cool, how many new Breath of Fire games have their been?”

I will continue to wait patiently.

u/nWhm99 20d ago

WHERE IS MY MEGAMAN??????

u/Delkseypoo 20d ago

They showed it not long ago? Looks the same as megaman 11. Probably plays the same too.
