Still disappointed Code Veronica and 0 were skipped as those needed improved versions far more than the perfection known as RE 4. But still, looks awesome.
RE0 is never never getting a REmake, but at least it got a lovely remaster (and Rebecca may appear in the series who knows)

RE Code Veronica desperately needs one because it would be the most improved if actually done with care(not half assed like RE3) but Capcom may not feel bothered to do it, there is still a chance one day,after RE4. 🤞

RE4 actually deserves a good REmake, because as good as it is to play today its not made for the HD generation, the biggest worry is the cut content and how they are handling the pacing.

RE1 would be a good candidate for yet another REmake in the style of RE2, foolish as it would be, i see a higher chance of this happening than Code Veronica

As someone who didn't care for RE4 at all I'm all for them changing as much as possible. That said, they're going to have work harder to make Leon a worthwhile character after how poorly he was represented in the Remake.

I’ve been in love with this since the GameCube demo at EB Games many years ago. I honestly feel like there’s no way they could top it, but I’ll be there day 1 for this.

Does anyone else feel like this is a step down visually from Resident Evil Village? RE2 was less impressive than 7 but this seems more pronounced.

I'm also concerned about the art in the sense that RE4 was built from a lot of on location photography from Spain (/ Wales) and the game was set in a bizarro Spain.

The first game didn't obviously look like Spain, but because a lot of textures were pulled from there directly it did have that layer of authenticity which I hope doesn't get lost in translation.

I feel Rebecca returning is unlikely given the Vendetta movie confirmed she was no longer in active duty, but we’ll see.

Honestly, that’s another reason I’d like a remake of 0 would be to see her and Billy again. Hell, I do suspect the best chance of seeing my favorite RE girl, Sheva, would be a remake of 5 though I feel Capcom should wait on that one for maybe either last this gen or next gen to make the graphical differences stronger.

Really, Chris’ section in 8 would have been the perfect moment to bring back familiar faces. Jill, Barry, Sheva, Jake, Sherry, etc. (just not Claire and Leon since I feel Chris probably tries to not encourage his sister into danger, and Chris and Leon usually don’t get along that great) could have all been members of the team and talking to you in mission support, but instead it was a bunch of randos.

Also, by skipping CV it means the remake continuity lacks Wesker‘s return. So is Leon even going to mention Ada working for him? Granted, that was one of the confusing lines as this was a rumor Leon must have heard between games but it’s all new info to the player without making it clear. Same shit with Leon and Krauser knowing each other and the player is all, “they do? First time I’ve even heard of this guy!”

It looks like a more dark tone than the original or is it just me?
Hope to see something like RE2R. If they confirm that, I'm in!
Ashley looked way better (in that photo) than og.

Watching people be unironically excited for a Resident Evil 4 remake proves we definitely have the industry we deserve.

What can I say? Most of the games are decent at best, nowadays. This is the first game that make me need a new console or upgrade my old PC.

Nothing about this trailer has changed my mind that this game did not need a remake. It's one of the only games that I fear a remake will diminish the legacy of the original.


That means I'll probably only buy 2 copies of it BECAUSE ITS RESIDENT EVIL 4.
That’s similar to how I feel. The legacy of the original is huge, and the game has aged better than most of its peers. There’s plenty of titles more deserving of a remake.

but still…

…it’s Resident Evil 4. I’ll take two copies and a chainsaw controller, please.

It looks to be darker. Now if they just cut out the anime crap it will be amazing. Buying it either way since I adore the last two remakes.
 
This is the state of gaming, they've got us so fucked up we're hyped for another fucking remake.
Real Remakes (not remasters)are just as exciting as any other new game. Usually more so, because they're based on an already solid foundation.

I'm just as excited for this as I would be a Resident Evil 9.

Best RE.

Please don't fuck up my favorite one thanks Capcom.

I think the camp will be gone, sadly. And I think it's gonna play just like RE2R and RE3R, but

Coming from a purist, it looks solid to me.

-shot of the first house looked great.
-village seems largely unchanged
-we saw Villagers and Los Illuminados.
-Luis and his Red9
-Saddler
-Leon's nightmare scene.
-car ride with the two policia
-Mendez in the hallway
-I think I saw an Ada flash

The only things that concern me are a. Ashley looks weird. And b. Lack of Salazar in the trailer makes me worried he was deemed too campy for the srs Remake tone, or worse yet, Capcom is anticipating some kind of Twitter brigade for the ableist ideas of dwarfs being creepy and evil, or whatever.

I swear to God, transitioning half the game's scenes from day to night is 50% all the game needed to do in terms of atmosphere to turn the tension up to eleven!

Also, dear "There's no need for a remake, it looks perfect to this day," person, go wear some glasses, and go fuck yourself.

I don't support bringing old characters for the sake of cameos, one of the best things about RE7 and RE8 is they can stand on their own without relying on old characters and storylines.

I love RE0, but its very 'divisive' among the fanboys that's why i don't find likely they would produce a remake of that title, but hey i wouldn't complain if they did😃🦂🚂🧟‍♂️the remaster sold very well at least

Capcom doesn't care much about canon, they wouldn't retcon Code Veronica, but its just a passing mention in a short cutscene, they either rework that line or leave it as it is, fans know what happened because everybody knows who Wesker is.

Now i still think Cide Veronica Remake and RE1 REngine are possible, but will come much later unfortunately, they aren't a priority :^/

As much as I want to hate yet another remake, this shit looks dope! I will definitely buy it day one. Still a bit sad though, why is capcom not able to make NEW resident evil games, that are as good as their in house remakes (RE1, RE2, RE4)? Instead they produce crap like village. Still, trailer looks awesome, I definitely prefer the new artstyle over the cartooney look of the original.

Hoping they put a lot of effort in to this one and that they keep it true to the original.

The most recent RE3R wasn’t all that great imo, but fingers crossed!
