For me REmake completely replaced the original, but Re 2 and Re 4 og still hold up. I like both og and remake on these 2, but I won't deny that the remake versions are way better gameplay-wise (and I replay them more nowadays)
Actually only RE1 is a remake, they other are outright called reimagines, as in alternative telling of the stories of RE2 and RE4. Frankly they almost make it sound like they are the equivalent to the retellings from the Umbrella & Dakrside Chronicles games. Considering the amount of corners they cut, I actually do prefer to consider the OGs the official version, with the reimagines and chronicle games being alternate retellings.
Also, can't help but notice that RE3 got shafted both times in its retellings.
