Yes, it deserve and need it more than any other chapter. Is the worst main RE released IMHO, and it have to be remade by scratch, so is perfect for a remake.

 

[March Climber]

Much like Resident Evil 3 Remake, as long as they follow a broad outline of what needs to happen, timeline-wise, they will be fine with a remake filled with changes.

Just make sure it isn't as short as 3 Remake so that fans don't complain.

 

[Riposte]

A remake would be prohibitively expensive without gutting the game's content, which is what happened with their newer remakes so far to varying extents.
It's too bad they are obsessed with the this remake plan, since it feels like a huge opportunity lost each time. After they remake 6, will they make a new game with these characters or just remake 1 again? By the time they do, we will be one or two gens into Remake 2 feeling "outdated", so even that will need yet another remake.

An small upgrade to 6 would be nice, but I think we are beyond even that being likely.
Beyond some basic polishing, the two best ways to improve it would be a way to play the campaigns simultaneously (such as in chronological order) and a more functional match-making system for its unique campaign multiplayer features. Something like being able to drop and return to your Mercs game to participate in a campaign crossover, with no progress loss - but maybe that's just as fantastical as a proper remake.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

No, both 5 & 6 shouldn't be remade in my opinion. Make another spinoff series like Revelations or maybe finally take a leap and try with Dino Crisis.

I really enjoyed 5 back in the day, plus if it's a faithful remake I'd love to see reeeeeset era lose their minds all over again.

 

[Bonkerzzz]

Lipstick on a pig.

 

[Arsic]

If by remake you mean completely from ground up redo every single stitch of the game … sure.

But that isn't what these remakes have been, so no.

RE6 is a terrible game through and through.

If the remake was just Chris and Leon, a complete rework of the story, and mechanics, and retooling it to be horror not action , then MAYBE. The amount of work to do it though would be that of making a new game from scratch.

 

[Jesb]

I actually started playing this game. The only RE game I never played fully. Only played the Leon campaign so far and it's pretty bad. The controls are awful, the graphics are a step back from both 4 and 5. Definitely the most forgettable RE game I ever played. They should just forget about this one in terms of remakes. I'd love to see CV remake and also think the first could use another remake. The REmake has definitely aged.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Re5, and 6 got the worst end of the resident evil huge remaster saga.

 

[simpatico]

RE6 has some really high highs. I played it right after RE4make last year and didn't really get fatigue until the last campaign. Played through the Leon campaign excitedly the whole way through. Yeah it gets some parts very wrong, but the highs are there. I still say it has the best movement and combat of any RE game. The melee to quickshot combo is goated. It's not really what I want from RE, and honestly I wish they'd remix and retcon a lot of it, but it's worth playing.

Basically just remake it into a Leon RE4 sequel with the quickshot mechanic. thx.

 

[EDMIX]

I mean, a game can be sooooo fucking bad it should be ignored, but shiiiiit a game can be so bad, it MUST BE REMADE to be good.

So, maybe lol

I think it will get remade anyway along with RE5, if anything to make it better and to fix that trash story.

 

[Arachnid]

Only if they throw out 90% of it, including everything that has to do with Jake.

 

[Erebus]

Isn't RE6 the entry with the most sales in the series?

 

[VeganElduderino]

Hell yeah! I loved it, its a great game but not a great Re game, they could tweak it to be more like Re4 remake.

I felt like the areas weren't really designed for the gameplay it tries to offer. You can do some cool things, though the control might be a bit cumbersome and the stamina management is hit and miss. The worst offender might be the hit reactions. It lacks punch.

I did have fun with RE6 mercs mode, trying to perfect parry enemies etc.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Only played the demo back in the day and wasn't a fan.

RE5 remake would be nice just to get modern controls.

 

[Hydroxy]

Yes definitely.

Yeah, that's the biggest issue as far as the gameplay goes. It really doesn't teach you how the combat works and worse it doesn't incentivise you to do any of the fancy stuff. You can play it like any other cover shooter and do just fine.

 

[Famipan]

It deserves a Reboot/Re-imagine since there are apparently lore connections to 6 in 7.
I would maybe call it something different such as "Resident eVIdence" or "reVIsion"

 

[JimmyRustler]

If they do extensive rewrites, yes. If not, no.

I guess we'll see if this will be a thing once we see the RE5 Remake and where Capcom goes with it. I do sincerely hope they tone it down a big. This blockbuster style in big cities doesn't fit with RE. Keep the story smaller and more remote. Keeps it less ridiculous and less expensive.

 

[Valt7786]

It needs to be deleted from the continuity and completely rewritten if they do remake it in any capacity. Its an utter trash tier game and doesnt deserve to have the RE name attached to it.

 

[NeptuneCL]

No, they need to scrap that game from the canon, just that.

 

[SportsFan581]

At this point, I figure everything up to 7 is getting one.

 

[Pelao]

The game is so irredeemably bad and incompatible with the rest of the franchise that it would be far better if they simply forgot about it and never referenced it, just as they are already doing now.
Rather than a remake, this game would require a complete reimagining, and at that point, they might as well just make a new entry instead.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Personally, I don't think so. I'm already iffy about a 5 remake, or even a Code Veronica remake considering all the campiness it brought (that was more than the other RE titles before it). At some point the have to pump the breaks on remaking.

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

We're remaking low-mid games now?

Remakes should be reserved for 9+ games, not terrible games that will sell terribly.

 

[lestar]

not a remake, a reboot

 

[onnextflix5]

They won't touch 5 so maybe they will do 6, I say enough of the remakes.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Unless they are willing to change it almost completely, no.

You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter.
