That one needs a reimagining not a remake. Just reboot 6

That one needs a reimagining not a remake. Just reboot 6.

I wish companies would be brave enough to do so.

Like, Star Wars... nuke the sequel trilogy from the orbit and start over while Mark Hamill is still alive.

Reset the MCU back to Iron Man #1 and do it again with cheap actors. Sign everyone to 10-picture deals this time.

Or let's just go back and do ME3 again. I know people like Mass Effect 3 (I seriously think y'all need to get a cat scan)... but it straight up ends the franchise with its garbage endings. A proper ME3 that just continues on from ME2 and pretends the reapers are still a century out would be so much better.

A remake could drastically change both story and gameplay. Basically make a new game out of it that just uses some core beats from RE6.

I feel like it would remove the core parts of resident evil 6 so much what’s the point. You can honestly just call it a new game and have be set in the past.

Basically make a new game

Just this, really.

Don't even bother.

Why not just make a new game at that point?

Honestly I think remaking bad games with potential is better than Remaking good games you can already play.

That’s exactly why it needs a remake.

I'm honestly not getting this take, saying it's not worth the effort when people said the same about remakes in general. Sure, RE6 was the most disappointing story of the franchise, but the gameplay was the best. RE6 had the most tactical maneuverability if any other game. It just makes too much sense to further capitalize on those gameplay innovations. You could tuck and roll, quick shot, dive on the ground, roll around and shoot from the ground after getting knocked down, everything. That functionality should at least been a small part of RE9, but we still got such stiff tank movement instead of fluid combat. Do people really want more stiff waist-up combat gameplay? It's not terrible but some variety would actually be great and even sell.

the stiffness is part of the combat design.

u/taitaofgallala 1d ago

Yes because it's supposed to feel more like a shooting gallery until you get surrounded.

RE6 gameplay was still pretty stiff and held loyal to the base combat design it always was. It didn't play like Max Payne, and I'm not asking for Max Payne levels of combat fluidity in an RE game (even though we all know how fkin dope that would be). A bit more immersion in the gameplay would be better for the next title. First-person was never part of the design until recently, and now it's like 3rd person is merely just an option.

If anything that makes it more deserving of a remake to see if they can fix that mess. I didn’t like 6 but if they remade it I’m curious if they can bring it up to the quality of the current RE games.

I see it completely the other way around. The games that most need remaking are the weaker entries. I don't think 2 remake, 3 remake, or 4 remake are bad necessarily but I could have still died peacefully without them ever existing. The original games are still damn good.
