All of the Resident Evil video games are a bit bizarre. Even the extra serious-looking remakes are sometimes goofy as hell, however that’s what makes these horror video games so particular. For this reason so many people followers wish to see much more of the traditional Resident Evil video games remastered, even outdoors the numbered entries, and Capcom has heard us.
Earlier this yr on Tuesday, June 20 Capcom held its forty fourth annual shareholders assembly, with all of the paperwork relating to that assembly being made public earlier this week on Thursday, June 6.
In the course of the query and reply portion of the assembly, Capcom was requested by shareholders about a lot of IPs, however a really fascinating query regarding Resident Evil got here up.
“Will you be offering high-end visible remakes of solely the principle numbered entries within the Resident Evil sequence?” one shareholder asks. That’s a query that Capcom itself has put to Resident Evil followers not too long ago too.
“We’re finishing up discussions relating to the longer term enlargement of this sequence so it may be loved by a large viewers,” Capcom responds, in an initially innocuous response that really has much more happening.
Since 2019’s Resident Evil 2 remake, Capcom has been making its manner via the traditional numbered entries, utilizing the mechanics and core gameplay really feel from Leon’s time in Raccoon Metropolis as a base for additional remakes. Naturally, the belief could be that Resident Evil 5 and 6 are to observe this yr’s Resident Evil 4 remake, however the shareholder query appears to level to 1 recreation that desperately wants a revamp: Resident Evil Code Veronica.
Initially billed as the correct Resident Evil 3, this spin-off not solely gives a direct follow-up to Claire Redfield’s seek for her brother Chris from RE2, nevertheless it additionally gives a large quantity of context for the Ashford household, one of many Umbrella Company’s co-founders.
For my cash, both Resident Evil 5 or Code Veronica is smart as the following steps for the remake sequence. Ever since these remakes began popping out along with the Ethan Winters storyline, Capcom has been doing a little minor retcons and lore expansions to the Resident Evil universe (which I received’t spoil right here), and Code Veronica is likely one of the finest locations to tie all of this collectively.
I feel video games like Resident Evil 5, 6, and Code Veronica are going to get the remake remedy in some unspecified time in the future both manner, with the very first recreation purposefully being left at nighttime.
My guess is that after all of the lore has been included into these remakes, Capcom will return to the place all of it started and provides the Spencer Mansion the swan track it deserves. Not solely making the very best model of a Resident Evil 1 remake it may possibly, however one which additionally ties the lore of video games like 8 immediately again to the place every thing began.
The Capcom Q&A holds numerous actually fascinating solutions for the place the developer behind Resident Evil, Road Fighter, and Mega Man desires to go subsequent (through GamesRadar).
Within the meantime, you will get a repair of video games akin to traditional Resident Evil with a fast have a look at our breakdown of the very best zombie video games, or you’ll find some fellow historical past that embraces its limitations with our picks of some important outdated video games on PC as effectively.
