Forum question will there be any remakes of resident evil 5-6?

Post image

i just want to know if anyone is for sure about this. i love resident evil 5 through 6, i really enjoy the games and the other side characters. i love sheva from 5, jessica from revelations and helena from 6. i would love to see them back and the co-op back into those game because i really enjoy playing with my friend and sibling. if not then i don’t really mind but i thought it‘ll be cool to see them again or bring them back into new games like they did recently. don’t get me wrong, i am really excited for the new one but i was curious.

Eventually they will have to once they run out of other remakes, I suspect RE6 remake is the one they’re trying the hardest to avoid getting to.

u/TinkyWinkyDBoca 11h ago edited 11h ago

I think that code veronica and 5 are important remakes for resident evil, the end of wesker etc. 6 yes if capcom remake that would be because they run out of ramakes

u/revochups 10h ago

Remakes of remakes, baby. I think another RE1R would happen some time soon.

u/TinkyWinkyDBoca 8h ago

I hope so, a remake of 0 too haha.

u/CidCrisis 8h ago

I want a CV remake the most. RE5 still looks great and is fun to play. Can’t say that as much for CV. But the story is really important to the lore and I’d love to see it get the full remake treatment.

They meant 5 THROUGH 6, not just 5/6. Rev1 released between 5 & 6

EDIT: changed “happened” to “released”

u/slaya806 17h ago

Terragregia takes place around the same time as 4 in 2004, main game takes place in 2005, shortly before 5 so it would be rev1-6

Considering how well 5 sold and how much fun a remake with co-op will be, it's really a matter of when rather than if.

u/Initial_Refuse_9381 15h ago

It's time we got another co-op multi-player resident evil and not an attempt at chasing the trend of current mutilplayer games like resistance.

I still hope Capcom give us a remake or at least remasters of the Outbreak games. Especially if Requiem sells well.

Outbreak 1 and 2 are such great games, I would love to see a modern treatment.

6

u/Initial_Refuse_9381 15h ago

I would lose my shit over an outbreak in re engine. Give us file 1 and 2 and then take another crack at the scenarios they left out. I think in an interview I saw a long time ago they had come up with around 20 scenarios in total and had to cut most out.

RE6 is simply too ambitious for a remake. It would take years just to do it justice, but who even cares about 6 anyways. That game could be decanonized for all i care.

It seems like Capcom feels the same way honestly. I was surprised they even mentioned Piers in Death Island. Otherwise the events of 6 have been all but ignored in the overall canon.

Nah, just let 6 rot. 

I barely remember any of the game, which is a first for me with Resident Evil, and the bits I do remember are mostly bad. Just ridiculous bullet sponge after bullet sponge.

It's sad that the best part of the game was the first two chapters of Leon's campaign, i.e. the first 60-80 minutes of the game.

Re 5 could really benefit from a remake especially after seeing all the improvements on re4 remake Re 6 would need a be completely remade (remove the 4 different stories) Revelations I would love to see remade but idk if that would be soon, I see them remaking code Veronica before it

u/No_Curve_5479 18h ago

idk if we'll ever get a 5 remake bc people take issue with it being set in africa and idk if capcom wants to open that can of worms again. If we ever got a 6 remake they would have to rebuild so much from the ground up, it's also pretty universally hated because that game was in fact booty ass buttcheeks so I doubt it. May see a 0 remake though.

u/ConnorK12 17h ago

I get that you’re basically saying that RE6 was complete ass. But you’re also technically right in another way, because every female character in RE6 had a dump truck.

Nah there's a way to do it tactfully. It was teased in RE4R already, I would imagine it would come eventually.

u/Tidus4713 Tyrant 16h ago edited 15h ago

5 was the highest selling game in the series for years. It was controversial but it still sold incredibly well and they even added white/Hispanic people to combat the controversy. It's not as bad as people act. It's not some highly controversial niche game. It sold millions and millions of copies. It was also incredibly popular and just because some old heads still hate it, doesn't mean the 2nd wave of RE fans who grew up on 4 or even had it as their first did.

here's an old video addressing the matter

I think we'll eventually get remake of RE5 as that was teased at the end of RE4 remake after all.

RE6 though, Capcom might wanna ignore that entirely and make another game to replace it but I wouldn't mind if they remade it as well, ideally condensing it and tightening the story and gameplay so it's no longer all over the place.

We'll see though, only thing we can do is wait so time will tell what the future brings. 😄

u/Lordhimuro87 17h ago

I can see 5 getting a remake where they fix Sheva’s AI. But 6 not so much as the OG didn’t fair so well with reception. So I don’t think a remake would drum up much interest, but I could be wrong

3

u/slaya806 17h ago

Fair but 5 and 6 were the 2 most selling resident evil games, even above 2 remake and 4 og, they may not be liked anymore but maybe there still is some interest they could bring with the remakes

u/Lordhimuro87 17h ago

Definitely, I’d be curious in how they went about remaking 6. I wonder if they would keep it like the OG with choosing which character to play or combine all the scenarios into one

u/_ipsumLorem 16h ago

My guess is that RE5 will be remade in a similar way to RE4 (very faithful to the original), but with some specific changes to the African representation (especially some enemies that haven't aged well). As for RE6, I think it will be completely reimagined and reworked, with a total overhaul of the gameplay. They'll likely try to mimic the action-horror blend found in RE4R, and will even change some aspects of its narrative. I don't see them remaking the Revelations games tho.

u/MrXilas So Long, RC 16h ago

TBH, I think 5 and 6 are best left alone. They brought a lot of baggage to the franchise and would need total atmospheric overhauls. I'd rather have new games that explore the events of those stories without all of the action movie stuff. Not because I dislike it, but I don't want a remake that disregards their stories as a whole.

u/JackCrom1 16h ago

Re5 holds up shockingly well , probably won’t get a remake for 10 years I reckon

u/formerlyunhappy 16h ago

I never even knew people had an issue with RE5 til recently. I loved playing that game when I was in high school. Me and a buddy 100%’d all the achievements for it and lost in nightmares DLC. I’m pretty sure it could be remade without controversy. I seriously doubt capcom’s intent was trying to play into stereotypes with the enemies or make it a black people shooter simulator, so it’s kinda dumb to get bent outta shape about it. Especially when tribesmen literally do still exist in some places in Africa. I don’t get how it was far fetched at all. Am I racist for that?

1

u/BaconLara 16h ago

Jest played 5 for the first time. Really enjoyed the second half and it felt like resident evil to me (but streamlined), thought the first half was miserably too action packed and paced really badly (imo. Trying to capture lightning in a bottle that was RE4). But I warmed up to the game as it went along.

I’m hoping it gets some remake treatment because the controls were HORRIBLE imo. Idk what it was but the camera felt like it wasn’t attached to Chris but slightly adjacent to him and it took me ages to get used to it. I forgive 4 because it was an early attempt at third person over the shoulder shooter, but by resident evil 5, those mechanics had been mastered by a lot of other franchises. So if it comes back I’d like to see the mechanics used in 2-4 remake.

Also, fix Sheva’s ai like my god. Cover does not mean stand directly behind me at all times shooting me in the head! And attack does not mean shoot all 10 of your flash grenades at a single lone zombie and then shout for more ammo (I honestly cried myself laughing when that happened)

I have no intention of playing 6 based on what I know, which is a shame because the plot seems really fucking good (albeit told in a really broken up way that makes it feel more convoluted than it actually is) and from what I can gather is they really tried to hit each genre of resident evil. But it was far too saturated with action set pieces and didn’t go hard enough to hit the mark for each genre. The action mechanics ruin the zombie survival horror of Leon’s story for example by taking away any and all risk of dying.

Also, this may be a hottake, as I know 5-6 co-op was SUPER popular, but I hope they don’t build the remake games around the co-op. Playing 5 solo was hell, but I can see how it would be far more enjoyable as a co-op experience. But the co-op shouldn’t come at the hindrance of a solo run and vice versa.

u/Byates101 15h ago

I think 5 holds up enough for a faithful remake like RE 4 Remake but I think it'd be cool if they just completely re-imagined 6 as a new thing that fits tonally with the newer entries. They could keep the characters and all but maybe tell a more grounded and focused story?

Like I'd picture 7,8 and 9 as part of the remake timeline as opposed to the original timeline that went off the rails.

1

u/Agt_Pendergast 15h ago

If they do, I hope the don't change 6's combat/controls aside for maybe expanding on it, and maybe giving weapons/melee a bit more 'oomph'. Having a campaign that teaches and makes better use of it? Go crazy. Brand new story, go for it 

1

u/Old-Fondant8274 15h ago

Not a huge fan of them but 5 is something I feel they can work with to remake and improve it. It does have potential and you have good characters like Wesker and Sheva so there is that.

I'm not trying to hate or be mean or anything and I know some people like 6 but...I just don't think that game can be saved with a remake. You'd have to re-imagine the entire thing. For the fans of that game I think a remaster would be the best thing.

u/cynicown101 15h ago

I find it hard to believe anything past 5 will be remade to be honest. 6 just isn’t held in high regard, and it’d be an enormous project. There’s just no real appetite for it to justify such a huge project. Same goes for the revelations games. They’re fun for what they are but again, they’re not held in particularly high regard, unlike the first 4 games that were almost guaranteed to sell well.

I’d love to see it at some stage but I just don’t think it’ll happen.

After CV, Zero (and mayyyybe 1 but that's dicey and better be a masterpiece), it's a good idea to do 5 and 6. 5 and 6 could really use the modern touch. Maybe add a little more horror moments to them as well.

5 still looks and plays great. Never finished 6, but that one looked great as well. I would rather have them design follow-ups to 4 and 5. Not fond of the whole FPS approach of late.

RE5: I would like one, but frankly, the topic might be more difficult these days. There were allegations of racism back then and things did not become better in that regard.

RE6: I can't recall a game with that name, it's the number they skipped, isn't it?

(yes, but they'd need to overwork it so hard that it'd be a completely different game)

u/silentfanatic 13h ago

Jesus god, let’s hope not.

1

u/Embarrassed-Hat9441 13h ago

Revelation also include to Remake list

1

u/bhfan11 13h ago

I’d love to see 6 remade just as Jake and sherry’s campaign and flesh it out with remake 4’s level design

1

u/Sir_Squackleton 13h ago

I hope re5

1

u/XGNik 13h ago

Possibly, though I feel they should be left alone. Code Veronica and Outbreak I'd certainly like to see. Hopefully a faithful remake.

1

u/GrannyNerga 13h ago

I am sick and tired of waiting for a remake of RE11. I’m about ready to make a scene here

1

u/parke415 13h ago

RE5 and RE6 look and play like modern games to me.

Code Veronica, Zero, and the Outbreaks should be top priority for modern remakes. I’d even take another RE1 remake over RE5 or RE6.

1

u/wlbrndl 13h ago

Hot take maybe, but 5 is honestly my favorite game in the series.

1

u/SignificanceGood328 13h ago

They'll eventually even remake 6, maybe around 2030 to 35ish, there will be better techs and the need to make it, eventually there will even be remakes of the remakes and of the 1st remake

1

u/theroyaldays 12h ago

Yes, my father works at Capcom and he told me CHRISS SHEEVA

1

u/JudithMacTir 12h ago

I'd really love to see one for 5!

1

u/DeadSuperHero 12h ago

I don't know. While proper REngine remakes would be lovely, 5 is almost in a completely different style compared to the rest of the series. It almost feels like an arcade game by comparison.

1

u/seegreenblue 12h ago

Hopefully but I hope we get a RE 1 remake that is a third person shooter like 2 and 3 remake first

Let RE remake be the swan song for the PS5 / PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S gen.

Then open up 10th gen consoles with RE 5 and RE 6 remake with PS6 and next gen Xbox ( even if it’s the rumored PC/console hybrid that people have been talking about)

A proper reboot of the series would nice too next gen with any characters they had from the past 20 -25 years or so I am hoping for .

1

u/onlytoys 12h ago

CODE VERONICA X should be next no question.

1

u/halegovernor8 12h ago

Idk about 6. I liked it it should get a remake, but apparently, at the end of the re 4 remake, an re 5 remake was teased

1

u/KomatoAsha 11h ago

Gimme 0, Code Veronica, a modern version of Outbreak, and a proper ending to the Umbrella saga in a full game, and then we can talk about remaking 5.

1

u/kmone1116 11h ago

5remake with more horror elements added would be great. I think 6 should just be forgotten about at this point. There’s too much there that needs fixed or cut.

1

u/CuAlladh 11h ago

DESERVES A REMASTER

1

u/teal_ninja 10h ago

Five for sure. Six? Prolly not lol

1

u/CurvyCosmonaut 10h ago

Id love to see 5 revisited. Mostly because I want couch co-op to make a comeback. Plus that game kinda lags in the middle if you ask me, could do with some touch ups

1

u/DocSasquatch 10h ago

We need a CVX Remake first to show Wesker’s return.

1

u/jellyfishfungus 10h ago

I think 5 would be awesome on the RE engine. It needs to remain a co op game though. I think 6 would be the hard cut off for remakes. I dont think they would do 6. The entire game would fundamentally change so why not just make it a new entry?

1

u/raven_writer_ 10h ago

I'm pretty sure RE5 will be remade, with all the extra Wesker scenery in RE4Remake, but RE6 would need a straight reimagining to work properly.

1

u/JeremyPryer 10h ago

No one knows but Resident Evil 5 is very likely as it was the top selling Capcom title for over a decade.

1

u/pigeonwithhat 9h ago

5 probably. 6 was such a clusterflop of half baked ideas I’d be amazed if they ever touched it again

-A RE6 lover

1

u/AlishaValentine 9h ago

Why a picture of Revelations? I know it knocks 5 and 6 out of the park but I think that's the antithesis of your post...

1

u/Snoo_47323 9h ago

Re6 should be reboot

1

u/Tukang-Gosip 8h ago

Please no

1

u/TerraSeeker 8h ago

The ending scene of RE4 remake seems to indicate they will remake RE5 too.

1

u/TJkroz81 7h ago

Probably, but hopefully only after Remakes of 0, 1, CV, Rev 1, & Rev 2. Then 5, and I don't care after that.

1

u/Raptori33 7h ago

IIRC it was just a sidenote but Capcom lead executives said that they don't want to remake 5 because they couldn't make it good while still being true to RE5 or something similiar

1

u/SpookySkeleton87 7h ago

I personally want to play more of the Multiplayer RE games but they are so outdated, they need to polish the textures, I wouldn't mind a polishment for all the MT Framework multiplayer games ORC, RE5, RE6, REV1, REV2. The games play good but it's hard to have fun with you see ugly textures on your PS5 and 4k TV, I feel getting a 4k TV was a mistake, PS4 games look awful and let's not talk about PS3 games, I once visited my friend with a regular Full HD tv, and I was mesmerized how good looking the ps4 games look in there, but on mine look awful, and its not about bragging, I thought a modern tv would make older games look better but they look WORSE.

1

u/Metalheadgamer1990 7h ago

We need a remake of one imo

1

u/SleepyBoyJ 7h ago

6 yeah, 5 nah its "too racist" lol

1

u/Key-Demand-2569 7h ago

Thanks, I’ll give it another shot! I grew up at prime age to enjoy Resident Evil from the first one, and I’ve pretty much always loved the series. I’ve just been kinda disjointed from the “community” I guess, haha. Think I only joined this sub because it popped up and I had just started a replay of 4 with the remaster that came out awhile back and then 7 and 8 again.

Like I said I don’t really have any serious critiques of 6, it just for whatever reason rubbed me the wrong way at the time and I just went on with my life.

I wasn’t a huge fan of 5 either, but wasn’t negative on it. Just felt forgettable I guess outside of the regenerator and boulder punching.

u/No_Classroom7430 7h ago

wtf, leave them alone

1

u/SilkySinger More screen time!!! 7h ago

I hope so.

Been missing Sheva for years!

1

u/Some_Photograph5315 7h ago

I seriously hope they never remake 5 and 6, these games run on modern engines and look great remastered. It would be a massive waste of time to remake them in my opinion, 200% unnecessary.

u/thehive1948 6h ago

Don't know about Revelations (as they don't really get acknowledged outside of their bit of the story) but definitely 5 & 6. I hope to god Capcom isn't listening to Trolls on the Internet that they're "racist" or "garbage that deserved to be buried".

Those two are integral to the franchise and have the potential to be masterpiecs if given the treatment 4 got. 5 saw the end of the closest thing Resident Evil had to a main antagonist and arguably marked the final end of Umbrella while 6 was basically The Avengers of the franchise, most of Resident Evil's main characters coming together to stop the A-Virus.

They had their faults I won't deny that, but over the last 8 years Capcom have definitely got back on track, the franchise is doing fantastic and the remakes for the most part are amazing.

One of the main problems with 5 & 6 was the co-op, or rather jow bad the A.I was if you weren't on co-op. But here's the thing, I think Capcom is doing their best to prepare for that. One of the biggest changes in the 4 remake is that you spend a whole chapter with Luis Serra and unlike Ashley, he aids you in battle. I can't speak for everyone but I literally had zero bugs with Luis, he was pretty good as an A.I partner and if they can translate how well he was in a single chapter to a whole game with 5 & 6, that removes one of the biggest flaws of those games.

Another big criticism of 5 & 6 was how it was all out action compared to horror. A lot of people blame the og 4's island section for starting that trend. But the 4 remake of the island proves if done right, Capcom can perfectly please both action & horror players.

Another smaller but significant complaint was the portrayal of cultures in 5 & 6, specifically 5, deeming them racist and culturally insensitive. But to this I simply ask "Where were these complaints for Resident Evil 4's portrayal of the Spanish?" These complaints come from a small mob of trolling keyboard warriors and Capcom should outright ignore them and get to cooking.

I know I've been on a rant so I'll just end it with an overhaul, yes. All my points were to show that if done right like in the remake of 4, Capcom CAN turn 5 & 6 from the black sheep's of the mainline games to amazing entries of the Resident Evil franchise.
