Resident Evil 1 Remake YAY or NAY?

[sirkudjon]

There have been more and more rumors in recent months that supposedly in 2025/2026 we will see a proper remake (not a remaster) of the first part of Resident Evil. As for me, it's good news. I jumped into the series quite late because only from the remake of the second part, I finished the third and I'm slowly finishing the fourth on professional and I wouldn't mind another game in this style. Most people would probably prefer Resident Evil 9, but for me what has been released since part 7 is meh. Ethan Winters and his family didn't even have a tenth of the charisma that the characters from the first quadrology had, plus I don't like the first-person perspective. And yes Winters Expansion Pack add third person but cutscenes are left as they were in first. Why? That's what keeps me away from purchasing Village and honestly, I would prefer a remake of the fifth. Although there will be a lot of work there. First of all, the game should be completely rebuilt from a forced co-op mode to an actual single-player mode. Okay, in homage to the fans, they can leave the co-op, but let it be a separate mode from the single. Sheva Alomar is not the delicate daughter of the president but a person with military training, so the player should not be under constant pressure to babysit her all the time. Her AI must be improved and (this is my suggestion) she should not die so easily or, for example, let there be an item or accessory in the game that will give her invulnerability, something like Ashley's armor from the remake of the fourth.
Okay I thought only Sheva AI was dumb but we have the same situation with Chris piloted by AI. I feel bad for everyone who tried to beat RE5 without partner damage or just partner damage dealt. So yeah that's the first thing CAPCOM have to fix if they even hope of making RE5R.
This is my condition for even thinking about buying another remake. Only then can you start to possibly correct the inconsistencies in the plot and lore to fit it into the world established by the remakes. As for the sixth part I don't know if anything can be scraped out from it.
It's just that bad. At least that's is my impression after watching a whole playthrough on yt. The story is a mess and the survival horror pace is gone.
As you can see, I am not positively inclined towards any part after the fourth, so returning to Spencer's estate in the gameplay that I already know from the remakes would really be a bull's eye. Especially for me who never ever played the first game before.

I disagree. Resident Evil 1 for someone who just finished any of the 3 remakes will feel strange with its archaic gameplay style. Also, I think the original story doesn't fit with the current RE remake storyline, not to mention what we discovered in 8. They could also remake 0 as a separate mode after completing the RE1R campaign like the Phantom Survivors in RE2 or in DLC.
Besides. No one is taking away from you og game/hd remaster. We are taking about standalone remake not replacer like Acti did with Warcraft 3.

resident evil 1 remake is perfect it doesn't need reimagining, it's the perfect example of how to make a remake faithfull in the classic style, don't say it's archaic or old gameplay if you don't like it because it's not true, resident evil 2 and 3 need the same treatment as 1 because they don't satisfy at all with all those cut contents and awful changes

It already got the perfect remake back in 2002. We don't need nu-Capcom destroying the legacy of the first game with another woke re-imagining.

Censored panty shots, several lines of dialogue were cut like Leon saying "women" in frustration over Ada and the ballistics line. Jiggle physics were also removed and Ashley was aged up to a chick who looks like she's touching forty.

1 I didn't noticed but maybe because I tend to more focus on fight than turning the camera under certain angles. 2 maybe it is the same situation as with witcher 1 sex cards. There were there, then but they were cringe so they were removed in remake idk. Og Ashley vs Ashley remake I would full heartly choose remaked. She looks like 40-ies? Errr Nope? I was the one who give Elize Ryd a vocalist from Amaranthe 20 years while she is born in 1984 which means 41 and she stiil looks great. So how tf if a real life woman who is 41 looks like that you said a 28 year old Freya look like 40? Maybe you should check your eyes again?
Concerning Panty shots. In new Stellar Blade DLC and Nier Replicant if you try that you get kicked. Is that also woke for you?
That you get punished for socially inappropriate behavior?
Even it is a virtual character.

As far as I remember the og version of 2 and 3 recently released on GOG are RE1 fixed camera so they got the treatment of re1 already.

Yeah they didn't get the graphic overhaul called HD Remaster but gameplay in all 3 of them are the same with fixed camera. That's what I am talking about when I said archaic. I can't imagine playing resident evil without fast and fluid over the shoulder camerera style gameplay. And that's why I would like to see RE1R.

Re1 is basically the perfect remake alredy but i wouldnt mind another one. Only that... i want them to keep all the enemies (including lisa and crimson heads) and develop more choices/consequences and endings.

RE1 remake with the alternate control scheme feels great to play.

DuskGolem hints more towards Resident Evil 0 Remake than 1 (dissapointing) as it will be starting title for Switch 2 (hopefully not exclusive because we already know how N are asses) and RE9 combined into one marketing campaign The begining and End of saga.
