REmake 1 has cut content (not much but it´s there), changes (the caverns arguably make more sense in the original) and 180s in terms of characterization, lore, puzzles, enemy behavior, and so on. The game went from
Giallo to Gothic Horror. That´s quite the leap. Aside from the additions of course.
But nah, let´s not acknowledge that. RE 1 also forms a cohesive whole in its map layout. Famously so. RE3... not so much.
Is REmake better than the 2 followups? Sure but that´s what happens if you get Mikami at the height of his power. Chad Shinji is interested in doing a new RE. Let the man at it Capcom!:
"I might."

Keep it ready for the review thread, I got mine. Only 3 made it to the S tier and 3 other to the A tier.
