They Should Retcon RE4 and Make A Proper Sequel

[Tackier]

RE4 sucked, story was completely irrelevant, and it should've focused back to Wesker, RE3 was bad too, they should've stuck with Code Veronica as the sequel to RE2, RE3 should've been Raccoon City.
Here's how it should've gone:

RE0: Rebecca and Billy
RE1: Jill, Chris, Barry and Wesker
RE2: Leon, Claire, Carlos, Ada and Hunk too, everyone loves him.
RE3 (Veronica): Back to Jill, Chris, Barry and Wesker
RE4: Conclusion to series including every major character from the previous 4 games

Would've been much better than the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RE:5&6 made of the franchise
They could make
RE: Raccoon City
RE: Spain
RE: Africa
RE: Biohazard
RE: Village.
The franchise truly is a mess and the RE4 remake did not help at all, whatsoever.

No, I have no nostalgia, I was born in 2002 and never played the games until I bought them in a bundle in Aug. 2022 when I was 20. I actually grew up playing RE4 and liked it then but I never played the other ones, so I never knew how bad it was compared to the others. The lack of ammo management, puzzles, the only name characters being Ada and Leon and having nothing to do with the story at all is what makes it terrible.
It wasn't until I played the original Resident Evil (2002) that I realized how much charm the series really had. The RE2 remake was good (Though they removed all the Leon and Claire interactions) but the RE3 Remaster was extremely bad, extremely. And RE4 is awful, I like the bad jokes they put in it though, it actually does act like a parody in it's twisted defense.

Rule of money. Why settle for 4 games when you can do 8 and remaking them from time to time. Or better, just remaster them?

Anyway, while i like 4 it is true that Capcom looked like they were just chasing trends instead of keeping the series to their root but with the necessary evolution. 5 and 6 are kind of jokes, to be fair, chasing the trend of adding multiplayer even to dinner that was common in the 360/PS3 era.

Unfortunately Code Veronica did not sold as well as expected, so the chances for a remake are slim, unless they have announced it recently. And it settled the change of gameplay in the series, as sad as it was.

The classic resident evil 1-4 was directed / produced by Shinji Mikami.

I'm a big fan of him because of:
- resident evil
- dino crisis 1 & 2
- evil within 1 & 2
