While the new version of ResidentEvil 4 is already a massive success, Capcom shouldn't bother with a ResidentEvil5 remake.
When Capcom released its Resident Evil 3 remake in 2020, I was filled with dread knowing Resident Evil 4 was next. Capcom had proven it could modernize a survival horror game with Resident Evil 2, but I was skeptical that the same framework would work with a pure action game. Thankfully, I was wrong and the newly released Resident Evil 4 remake is one of the series’ finest games yet. With that smashing success, one might assume that Resident Evil 5 is next in line for a touch-up.
A remake of Resident Evil 5 would have no choice but to revisit that controversy, as there’s no real way to work around them without an entire rewrite. Judging by comments from Capcom, it doesn’t seem like the publisher is going to want to rock that boat again. In a 2010 interview with Gamasutra , Capcom senior PR manager Melody Pfeiffer addressed the controversy and noted how it impacted the way Resident Evil games are made.
And looking at the publisher’ careful remake approach, it seems like the project has never been in the cards. Oddly enough, Wesker isn’t a major player in any of the Resident Evil games Capcom has remade so far. He cameos here and there, establishing his working relationship with Ada Wong, but his story doesn’t actually play out in any of those games. Instead, his core moments happen in Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica — the exact three mainline games that Capcom has yet to remake.
