According to DanielRPK and PRE_Alarabiya, a Resident Evil 1 Remake is in the works and is coming around 2026, likely a third person made in REX Engine.

DanielRPK is a well know Marvel Studios leaker. There's no other info.

interesting

 

[DragoonKain]

I wanted either Code Veronics or RE1 so if true I'm happy.

 

[Comandr]

Excellent news if true.

Waste of time, effort and resources and won't be better than the first remake.

 

[violence]

Meh, save this for last.

The Remaster is basically perfect as is. Not sure it needs the REmake treatment.

They REALLY don't wanna touch Code Veronica when it needs it. lmao.

Both the original and remake sold very well, a REX engine remake would also sell very well without too much of an investment

 

[FeralEcho]

First remake is literal perfection but I'm eager to see this take on it.

 

[MagiusNecros]

They literally do everything to avoid Veronica and Dino Crisis. So fervent is their desire to avoid it they said here you go we even put Dragon's Dogma 2 on the RE Engine.

 

[tkscz]

Code Veronica please. We have an RE1 remake already.

 

[delfrickintree]

If it's as good as RE2RE, I will gladly take it. Not especially necessary, as we all agree. Bring on CVX!

 

[nial]

It already came out in 2002.

 

[squarealex]

Remake third person is non-sense because you break the original gameplay and mechanics, so all the philosophy

 

[demigod]

I hope they keep the Jill Sandwich line in.

 

[violence]

I would love to see what resident evil 6 would be like as a good game. REmake 1 already is one.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I hope they keep the Jill Sandwich line in.

Probably not. Given Leon's NO THANKS...BRO got cut in RE4R. Was a sad day. Unforgivable.

----------

I feel like some of the tension of not seeing around the corner will be lost if they go full Third Person Shooter for a RE1R.

violence RE6 should of just been a full on Ada Wong game. Can't say I cared about the 4 way split. And given the cool shit primarily happens with Ada Wong.

 

[Shifty1897]

I'd buy it again, but the OG has so many tight, narrow hallways, not sure how well it would work in third person without some changes.

 

[K' Dash]

Not needed at all, but I welcome it.

Ada Wong game. I like that.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Dont cut any content. No stalking enemy like RE7,8, Mr X or Nemesis

Lisa?

 

[Kokoloko85]

Lisa?

No thanks. Keep her part in the game, but I hate the stalker stuff

 

[Mister Wolf]

Before Code Veronica?

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Before 9?

 

[Chiggs]

Before Code Veronica?

Or Part 5, for that matter. Capcom being ignorant.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

They should expand the mansion and make it much larger

 

[semiconscious]

when it comes to the re franchise, i've come to trust capcom completely. if they think it's time for an re1 remake? then, it's time...

 

[ToneyJ]

Hopefully they do a better job with Jill’s model/costume design. Her STARS outfit looks so bad in RE3 remake.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

There are recent rumors of a Resident Evil movie reboot with a "big" budget. Sony is developing it. So I'm guessing the video game and movie will come out close to one another to drive sales. Better chance it will be a faithful adaptation too. I'm in on this if true

RUMOR: New higher budget Resident Evil movie in the works

Return to Raccoon City?

[lh032]

waste of resources and time

 

[Darkmakaimura]

When I was reading the Resident Evil threads here I was thinking that it probably won't be long before they release another remake of the original.

Looks like I was right if this rumor is true.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'd inevitably end up playing it, though I can't say that this would be particularly exciting. I'm good with the REmake we already have, and I don't think it needs a third-person reinterpretation when the whole point of the original game was being scared of what's around the corner in a bunch of claustrophobic corridors - even moreso than in RE2. The free movement afforded by a third-person perspective kinda kills that.

 

[Evolved1]

keep current Jill -- stop changing her every game lol.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I hope its a remake of REmake and has lisa trevor and shit

 

[VanCityGamer]

Waste of time, effort and resources and won't be better than the first remake.

Not at all true. There are plenty of people (myself included) who weren’t into the camera perspective. It’s the only game in the series that hasn’t been fully modernized. Now I’ll get to play them all in the same style.

 

[aclar00]

Lol its Capcom, it's not going to look much better...but its my fravorite RE til this day (classic PS1 version) so ill be getting it if true.

 

[Gojiira]

What a complete waste of money,time and resources…It wont even have Julia Voth as Jill so doubly pointless…
Actually the only ones that need a remake is Outbreak,fully realise the multiplayer aspect,add more new mechanics and bingo,perfect.

 

[adamsapple]

2026 would be the franchise's 30th anniversary, so it makes sense to remake the first one (even though it's already been remade once)

 

[Arsic]

It would be amazing if it combined RE0 as well. Include both and redo it.

That would be so sick.

Billy/Jill playthrough.
Rebecca/Chris
Billy/Chris
Rebecca/Jill

Could weave both narratives and create choices with various outcomes depending on who you select for the RE0 parts main character and then the RE1 character.

I’ll settle for RE4 level remake with RE1 though.

 

[@gkTH]

Totally miss a mood and tone of the Code Veronica.
No idea why Capcom tries very hard to not touch it.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

I played the Remaster, but I despise that tank gameplay. I finished it once, and never touched it again.

A full remake on 3rd person perspective would be perfect.

 

[Dacvak]

Man, the big takeaway in this thread is that I need to dust off my copy of RE1 on the GameCube and actually give it another shot.

I played it when it first came out, didn’t like it (or maybe I was just bad at it), and haven’t touched it since. My cereal friend Nate always told me it’s incredible, so I guess I should finally give it another go.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

I'm happy for this! A new opportunity for them to really change the manor layout and surprise us all over again!

 

[64bitmodels]

Another fucking remake? When the original remake was already good enough?

I hope this is just a rumor.

 

[Syphon Filter]

it was already remade, stupid idea but idiots will praise it.

 

[Jesb]

I’d be happy if they did this and code Veronica and forget about 5.
