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?

gonintendo.com

God I hope so, no more fucking Alice with super powers.

 

[64bitmodels]

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

it would be a lot more interesting if they stopped these dumb ass remakes (or do code veronica like everyone's begging for) and instead put these resources on an RE9 that revisits the mansion.

 

[SpiceRacz]

JUST DON’T SHRINK THAT TURD CUTTER

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Wait, there’s been a RE1 remake already? When? Did it give the game modern controls? How did I miss this.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

JUST DON’T SHRINK THAT TURD CUTTER

Wow… I’ve never seen a booty described as a turd cutter

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

I say go for it, the 2002 remake is one of my favorite games of all time, but it doesn't quite jibe with the RE engine games in style, having every "canon" story in the same shared engine and thus same style makes sense, they just need to be sure to include Code Veronica at some point too.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

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.

Yup, I'll never play RE1 as-is. Needs the RE2R treatment, and then maybe I'll bite.

 

[Senua]

Make the same games again and again and again

 

[Sleepwalker]

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

Yeah that shit sucks.

Keep Lisa in her spot.


Can't wait for this, I don't care if the 2002 remake exists.

 

[SakkanartSilentJealousy]

RE2R, RE4R was amazing. I'm happy RE1 will be remade next.

 

[TGO]

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

Like RE2 Remake broke the original gameplay

 

[Generic]

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.

If this ends being true, Capcom will become the most greedy company in the story of videogames.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I mean, I'm not saying that Capcom read what I've said in one my threads here but....

As I was saying back then, they should remake the first one and bring it to a modern standard before RE5R and it's a must for the future of the series going forward cuz:

1) It'll finally let them properly develop Chris as a character, make him more likeable, less dumb, stupid and forgetable (like he was in all of the RE games before)
2) Give Chris fully developed and well written character arc and justify it's existance as potential main lead in 5 and they can't do that properly cuz Chris wasn't a part of any modern remake and he basically doesn't exist yet in modern canon
3) It'll not only make 5 and 6 way better games if they'll remake 1 right, but it'll also give them an opportunity to make way better Revelations remake, about which I also made a thread here describing how it could be done as an RE5R in concept, instead of a dumb shit original RE5 was.

Anyway, can't fuckin' wait!

 

[March Climber]

This is odd, the last rumor was this:

Team 1: RE 9
Team 2: RE 5 or RE CV (rumor)
Team 3: Helping Team 2 with one or the other or both

Instead, the new claim is this...

Team 1: RE 9
Team 2: RE 1?
Team 3: ???

I don't mind an RE 1 remake possibility. They teased Wesker at the end of RE 4 Remake, and for newer audiences they would need context as to who this guy is. Remaking the Wesker saga in order (1, CV, and 5) would be a good call here.

 

[EDMIX]

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

Suuuuure, watch this shit outsell the original.

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

Nah it needs it 100%. As someone that owns the original and the first remake, I'm completely fine with a remake, as they can put it over the shoulder, HDR, 4K, in the RE engine etc.

Day 1.

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

I know right, by law you can only remake it something ONE TIME!!! It would only be like, 24 years since the release, like WTF!!! TOOOOO SOOON! WTF BRO! ZOMG! BBQ! (various tiktok phrases)

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

Good news, you'll get all of em remade lol

At this rate, your getting Code Veronica remade and 5, I see no reason for Capcom to leave money on the table.

(we need that online Outbreak remake next gen doe lol)

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.

Truth.

We called it on here too that this would likely be the first remake of a remake lol

Kidz was like "but it was remadez already" as if any of that fucking shit has anything to do with how Capcom or any company operates, thats like saying you ate a Big Mac and you shocked McDonalds selling more after you leave, as if the goal as to JUST sell to you lol God damn, some folks naive as fuck, to the point of it being really funny how naive they are, Capcom is a company, they are a business, they make money selling shit, I see zero reason why the would not remake it solely based on some shit like "we did it once" lol Ok....you will do it again generations later for the same fucking reason.

I feel ok even calling 20 years from now, they'll likely remake it again with that VR brain implant with emotion tech in 600k VDR tech. lol

57 year old me going to be like "day 1....well after my medicare approves the brain implant" lol

No.
team 1 = re7, re8, re9
Team 2 = re2, re4, re5 or cv
Team 3 = re3, re1 or re0.

Re0 or re1 are likely what we are getting next year since it would be 5 years since re3. Just like how re4 took 5 years after re2 came out in 2019.

Re9 is coming out in 2026. 5 years after re8.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Not sure if necessary but hey, I thought the same about the RE4 Remake and it ended up being even better then the original. So yeah, let’s do this.

 

[EDMIX]

No.
team 1 = re7, re8, re9
Team 2 = re2, re4, re5 or cv
Team 3 = re3, re1 or re0.

Slimy gets it!!!!

RE4 didn't come out this year, Slimy. 2019-2023 is 4 years, and RE9 is supposed to come out in 2025; so that's another 4 years after RE8. RE1 would also be taking 6 years after RE3 going by this rumor.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Slimy gets it!!!!

And yet we know more about RE9 (which acording to rumors is in development for 7 years) than about RE1R. It doesn't look like we'll get RE1R next year. I think RE9 is indeed the next one.

 

[Muffdraul]

I've loved RE1 since April 1996, and yes the 2002 REmake was phenomenal. But I've been wanting this ever since RE2make happened.

 

[Moses85]

But what about
Resident Evil Zero?!

 

[Come On Tars]

So down. Remake is still incredible just replayed on my steamdeck. I think I’d like 3rd person but honestly 1st person with VR would be the ultimate

 

[Soodanim]

I'm still waiting on the Director's Cut of 3R dammit

 

[angelgs90]

Ok, I'm actually hyped for this.

 

[VeganElduderino]

more Re1, Re2,RE3 and Re4 , Re0 and Code Veronica, makes me happy!

 

[Robb]

Feels unnecessary, but we’ll see.

[Mr Reasonable]

2026 RE1 remake

Eh, sure. I just hope if it happens they keep the extra content that made it into REmake.

 

[Dazraell]

Eh, sounds really unecessary. I would much prefer Code Veronica or RE5 remakes

 

[Team Andromeda]

Looking forward to it all the same, but wish we were getting a Remake Of Code Veronica

 

[xrnzaaas]

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

Perfect for us more experienced gamers. I can easily see the scenario that someone brand new to the series (or used only to how RE2R & RE3R are played) can't deal with tank controls (even if they're optional), static cameras and heavier survival aspect.

 

[Hudo]

I dunno, man. I feel Resident Evil 4 Remake could benefit from a remake. It's been a while.

 

[AV]

Anyone saying "but it was already remade" fell down at least three flights of stairs this morning

 

[GymWolf]

We already have the perfect remake of that game and it is called rebirth.

Capcom has become a remake machine.

 

[SCB3]

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.

I will never ever understand why, when fans and others have been begging for it and there was a Dinosaur resurgence with Jurassic World and Godzilla movies, that Capcom decided instead of taking a Cult classic and doing a better version of it and went with whatever the hell Exoprimal is? Its like doing Lost Planet 4 when CV:X remake would make more sense and money

 

[Killer8]

Sure, why not.

 

[SCB3]

Anyone saying "but it was already remade" fell down at least three flights of stairs this morning

I almost fell down a stairmaster the other week, does that count?

 

[AV]

I almost fell down a stairmaster the other week, does that count?

Can one truly fall down a Stairmaster, or do you fall off it?

 

[MacReady13]

Will this be a remake of the HD remake, or the remake of the directors cut, or the remake of the DS version, or the remake of the original version?

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I will never ever understand why, when fans and others have been begging for it and there was a Dinosaur resurgence with Jurassic World and Godzilla movies, that Capcom decided instead of taking a Cult classic and doing a better version of it and went with whatever the hell Exoprimal is? Its like doing Lost Planet 4 when CV:X remake would make more sense and money

Here's the thing about CV. The new canon has yet to set up the events needed for this game to even make sense as a remake. It won't be 100% recreation of original game and it frankly shouldn't be, cuz there's a lot of stupid, eye-rolling and silly af stuff in there (just like in original RE4) which has no place in modern RE games and you can already see that in RE4R which is completely free of this stuff. CV will happen eventually and won't be called CV.

As for Dino Crisis, it looks like for Capcom it's not a valuable enough IP to invest a lot of money and time into and since there's no rumors or even hints on remakes and stuff, it is safe to say that it won't happen anytime soon or at all even. I think they already have a roadmap internally for what they'll be doing for the foreseeable future and it looks like RE and MH will be the main focus along with maybe DD now (only time will tell with this one though).

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

2nd best in series.
Want Code Veronica but might be a issue with Sega?

 

[March Climber]

For the people against this remake consider this: New RE fans have started at RE 2 Remake. They have just learned about the fall of Raccoon city and Umbrella, and have been put on a roller coaster of secret bioweapons, hidden truths, and zombies.

RE 3 Remake introduces the chaos of the city and Jill along with more secrets and other bioweapons. RE 4 Remake brings them back to the guy they’re familiar with who was there when the journey started. And they get to see Ada again. It’s a big time skip.

Some mastermind is introduced at the end of 4 that they don’t know of. In a TV series or movie franchise, this would be a pivotal moment to give us insight into that bad guy.

Which option would you choose?

A) Remake the Wesker saga to continue this wild ride for them (1, CV, 5) and thus the franchise maintains gameplay synergy throughout all entries with possible story and level design improvements. They get to experience the story in a special order that suits the current narrative development.

B) Hope that they purchase two 20+ year old games with tank controls and one 15 year old third person shooter with awkward controls.

You cannot choose ‘don’t do anything’.

Plus 1 aged awfully. Especially for newer audiences.

People will disagree but this is essentially why I’m on board with this potential plan to remake 1. Capcom has to commit to the Wesker remake trilogy though, so CV has to happen.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

If true this will do numbers I reckon. At least one purchase from me anyway

 

[makaveli60]

Awesome! But hopefully CV is on the plate too

 

[Esppiral]

Code Verónica first you bastards!!!

 

[VeganElduderino]

I dunno, man. I feel Resident Evil 4 Remake could benefit from a remake. It's been a while.

yeah with the new graphics engine , I would buy it lol

 

[Matt_Fox]

Anyway, can't fuckin' wait!

The easter eggs in RE4: RE seemed to signpost Resi 5, but I think your points are valid, that Resi 5 Remake might be thematically strengthened by remaking the first game prior to that (it would also give a bit more time for graphics to advance to improve Resi 5: Remake, as the original is still graphically decent even today).

1996-2026... a thirty year anniversary remake does seem a tempting hook to pin your marketing campaign around.
