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?

they need to create FOMO on the players, 5Mi copies in a week its a lot of copies, the next game may take even longer.

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

I hate this industry so much.
And gamers deserve the state it's in.

Or is it just one of Asha's balls in my throat?
Current franchise lifetime sales.
RE2 remake will probably surpass it by the year's end.

When re remake wass announced for gamecube, I was hoping it would be 3d.
Now that I know it's being made in 3d, i'll get my wish.

And was later remastered for release on PC and other formats. This is getting ridiculous. There's no point unless there's going to be significant additions.

Hot take but I hate the fixed camera angle, so I hope it's in third person. Probably slower paced like RE2 remake.
They better remake RE5. They can stop after that.

You can't die before your death
Hating the fixed camera isn't a hot take in 2026. That design is ancient and clunky. People acting like the word "remake" means it doesn't need another one are delusional. It's a 25 year old remake of a 1996 game. Modern horror has evolved way past this tank control and static angle garbage years ago.

re0 has extreme potential if they do coop. A big swing of I don't like this game to I love this game haha. Also a good teaser of what RE5 remake could be.

I can't wait to see the OG with the RE engine and over the shoulder. I want it more than anything. I'd imagine it's going to get even more love that the other games as it's what started it all. Really can't wait to see what they do.

After resident 1 remake I'd like to see resident evil 2 remake done again.
I'm actually not kidding! I love graphic updates and by 2030 I imagine technology like dlss 10 and path tracing, mega lights and whatever nonsense is dreamt up will be interesting enough to make re-remake will be enough for me to give capcom my money.
Same goes with resident evil 3 in 2031
I want constant remakes, pretty much every 10 to 15 years of every game I like.

My best case scenario dream is that they bundle both the Zero and RE1 remakes as a single release double bill feature kinda thing.

This is their final chance to make RE1 not only way bigger but also connect the Rebecca, Barry, Jill, and Chris path to fit the story better and with a true ending with all four of them on the chopper having a foursome.

I don't think there's any way they do this and leave so much money on the table especially since RE Zero is a full featured title.

Was a fantastic game back then, but, for ME, a new Remake is going to shit all over it so hard it's not even funny.

I have been an RE fanboy since 1996, and have generally loved the remakes. I think it might be because I have got to the age where I simply just accept this is what is happening, don't think too much about it, and go in expecting a good time.
I used to be one of the fans that would get very pissy at RE4 (og) about removing zombies or some such, literally on some RE forum crying about how much it sucked, hit post and then turn around to continue my 193th playthrough of the fucking thing. Because I loved it and it fucking ruled.
Like I say, been with the series for 30 years, seen the highs, the lows, watched the fanbase tear itself apart for myriad reasons, lmao. Its only because they're passionate, right?
I love still seeing people argue about RE shit online, it warms my heart in a way. 30 years in and we're still doing this. May it never end.
Bring on the remake of the first game, sure. It is an important game that isn't represented in this modern era. That is great for younger fans if they don't want to go back to the older games. Yes, yes, I know they SHOULD because they're awesome, but some people just wont, and we have to accept that.
Long live Resident Evil!

Won't we see her even earlier with the Zero Remake?
Anyway, as usual I'm down for more Remakes of RE. With this one they could expand the Spencer mansion even further.
Man, the only thing the modern RE now lack is a plot that is worth caring about. Come on Capcom, do it!
