REMake 1 is 22 years old. Giving it a run through the moon engine is a fine idea and I'll feel very smart if RE1RR(RE1R^2?) is cited as a priority for Capcom to get people hype for RE5R since Wesker probably benefits as a remake antagonist significantly if RE1 or CV get an update. Without any context he's the guy who was sus in the post-credits of RE4R and then stomps on stage without introduction for RE5R. Yes I know Wesker is super popular and cultural osmosis and blah blah blah, he's in Dead by Daylight and Marvel vs Capcom. It's still just a thing to maintain that recognizability, especially when you have a literal generation of new audience to think about. Maybe they could put the entirety of REMake 1 in as a prologue for RE5R, lol. Doomykins fucked around with this message at 19:54 on May 13, 2024 |

I've never felt older than right now, when it's being suggested that RE1 be remade again to remind people about who Wesker is. It feels like yesterday that I'm playing RE5 co-op and I'm laughing with my buds over Matrix Wesker. 7 MINUTES

I'm going to be vaguely annoyed if it turns out the new game plan for the remakes is to create a timeline in which Wesker could've feasibly survived RE5 so they can bring him back for a new game.

It's not like they didn't already bring back him and Ada without explanation before. It would be lame for them to go back to the Wesker well though, he's fun but trying to make him this master villain with all the cards has always been silly.

RE5 remake opens with a flashback where you play as Wesker when Chris makes fun of his sunglasses during a training mission and he Turns Evil at last.

Doesn’t the ending of RE4 remake SPECIFICALLY suggest that in this timeline they are not doing Re5 and 6. Wesker contacts Ada when to expect the samples and gets all Re5-y about using the las plagas to destroy the world and Ada makes the decision not to give them to him and even says something like “we certainly won’t be doing that THIs TIME!” And turns the copter around to go in a different direction

January 6 Survivor posted:Speaking of weapon damage in RE2 remake I'm mostly surprised a licker can tank a .50AE to the forehead in hardcore. Yeah even with the aiming reticle all focussed in. And the long barrel. I don't think I've ever gotten a single crit-headshot on a zombie with Claire's semi-auto pistol. You'd think the laser sight would be more effective.

RE5 and 6 are bad... in certain ways. RE7 is often seen as redeeming the franchise but 5 and 6 had great sales. Rather it was felt that RE had gotten far too bombastic and shifting the stakes from mass cloning and worldwide outbreaks with the threatened collapse of nations and heads of state dying back to weird poo poo in a big house was seen as a good move. I'm fully aware that the overton window on over the top in RE is itself bombastic by default. Of course this means Capcom stopped short of the true endgame: zombies in space. I think the direction of RE9 is obvious.

I still argue that they should maintain the precedent of only moving the series entries forwards in time. In light of the Shadows of Rose DLC, RE9 needs to be set in the 2030s, easily allowing space travel and space zombies to exist.

RE6 sold ok and received middling scores. The franchise would have been ok no matter what direction they took it. Famitsu gave it a 39/40 somehow. I like the game but come on lmao

Personally, I felt like I was done with RE after 6 came out if it kept in that direction, Operation Raccoon City, Umbrella Corps. I remember reading reviews of the first Revelations that were like "it's a throwback to the old games!" and it wasn't really at all, same with the RE5 Jill and Chris DLC. The bar was just that low that it sometimes had a key you had to get. Definitely did not expect RE7 to take such a big swing, but it got me back on board and RE7-8-2-3-4 have been a string of delight. They've earned another big swing from me, and if they want to do space station or underwater base or island oil refinery full of mercenaries again, sure go for it. I won't say no to any of 9 or "9!!!" or 1-5-CV remakes if they can keep the quality this high.

RE6 sold great but it didn't sell Call of Duty numbers so it was considered a financial failure They wanted like 5 or 6 million copies and only sold like 2 or 3? Something like that there is an article floating around somewhere about it

Odd to call it kicking it back in to proper gear, when 7 & 8 are nothing like what came before or after. And what came after just being remakes of earlier games, which isn't what I'd call proper gear either. As an experiment 7 was fine, but it became stagnant with 8 and I'm really glad they seem to be moving away from that. 8 also bringing up some new secret origin for umbrella was pretty bad, One of the best things RE did was killing them off, instead of just being tied to the same endless battle forever.

Certainly the closest it ever was since before 4.

Not worth buying guns in order to sell them back just for the money, but it is worth selling them when u feel like u found a standout replacement, also sell the punisher if you're not gonna use it

It's less obliquely put this time out, but that's also what she did in the original RE4:SW. Wesker didn't get a master Plaga because of Ada, which is why the Majini in RE5 are essentially a set-and-forget bioweapon and not his personal mind-controlled shock troops.

I remember enjoying RE5 when it came out but played it recently and didn't like it at all. RE6 I played for maybe 5 to 10 hours and just noped out on it. Totally onboard with a RE1 version with the new engine and some layout/enemy/item changes to add some surprise.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do rewrites to maintain Wesker as the series villain. They haven't had any decent villains anywhere near his level since they exploded him in that volcano, and he's still so memetically popular it seems like an obvious crowdpleaser. For my money Glenn Arias from Vendetta was the closest to pulling off Wesker's goofy Saturday morning cartoon big bad act, I thought that guy was hilarious. But Diet Wesker Simmons? Barf.

Weskers plan in RE5 was a big kneejerk reaction to Spencer telling him that he wasn't actually a real rogue agent but had been Just As Planned by Spencer for his entire life to push monster virus/drugs to an even higher level of research. Then finishing by saying Spencer actually considered him a failure because he never managed to make a proper shiny golden god virus before Spencer was on his deathbed. It's gloriously dumb and anime.

They're not Konami* after all  I mean poo poo, look at the knots they've twisted themselves into to keep Street Fighter's canon neat and tidy. EX is canon!That having been said, all the CG movies happen after 4 and touching anything after that would have a high chance of loving up the timeline. *I'm of the minority opinion that Konami finally realized the damage they were doing to their legacy and are at least attempting to fix it, but since they ran off all the devs of their legacy games and so have to outsource everything, it's been extremely slow going.
