I know stalkers were a thing for 2 and 3 so there is no real precedent for them to add one to 1 but I just want the classic mansion experience from a new perspective.

Yes give me a RE1 Remake so I don't have to sit through those damn door animations ever again
Wonder if they'll mess with first person at all, like an optional mode. The tight claustrophobic corridors of the mansion would be perfect for it.
Edit - VR would also be sick nasty

Actually I think a Remake of the first one now it's the way to go for newcomers to give some Chris/Wesker context for the RE5 Remake.
It's not. It's a design choice, and it's a valid design choice for providing a specific kind of atmosphere. Melting every single game down into a samey blob of the same controls and camera angles is anti-creativity.
Always has been!
So if this is accurate, RE9 by 2025, REmake remake by 2026, REmake 5 in 2027? 2028? That's a nice line up.
YOOOOOOOOO
On one hand, fuck yes
On the other hand, no Code Veronica??? :/
OH WAIT NO, THE SNAKE BOSS, NOOOPE, I'M GOOD

maybe Leon just has Tom Cruise esque aging in that universe and somehow is still super active and fit in his 60s. Alternatively, the plot is somehow about finding a way to attain immortality, and Leon somehow gets deaged and looks like he did during RE2 again. I'm expecting either one of those two things.
That's why it should have a VR mode as well, it'd transform it into an entirely new experience.
skeptical about the source but yeah, another 1 remake is inevitable. People are gonna dunk but uhā¦ I'd certainly buy it š The RE series began with 7 for me, tried to get into 1 HD and got filtered.
I'm usually fine with adapting to older games but for whatever reason classic survival horror stuff doesn't click

just to be clear, I was throwing around random ideas. I'm not saying that this is canon or something, lol. To my credit, I did start that sentence with "maybe".

This is an awful take given that RE1R is pretty much a perfect video game. Like genuinely game design wise it is an incredibly well thought out game. There's also nothing wrong with fixed cameras.
Glad im not the only one.
Hopefully, this reboots the entire timeline. At least it's not RE5.
A new game that hits the main bullet points of RE0/RE1 but remixes and changes elements could be amazing. New redesigned Spencer Mansion with new BOW's, bosses, puzzles and new locations and surrounding areas would be the way to go, especially for RE's 30's anniversary. Just start over and keep things in check for the series. Maybe keep Wesker face until the next game and have Barry or a Bravo Team member turn heel, or maybe include some characters that were cut from the OG RE1. There are so many ways to make another REmake of REmake super interesting.

It's not "needed" in the same way RE2 and 3 were (they didn't have a release on modern platforms and the originals are difficult to remaster with the pre-rendered backgrounds), but I think it's still viable. RE2R established a way to maintain the survival horror gameplay from the original games but use modern perspective and controls. RE1 doesn't have that yet. Again, nobody needs it, but there are worse ways for Capcom to spend their time.
If it's an anniversary game that would also be another good reason for it.
If it were up to me, I'd rather they make RE9 (which they're obviously doing) and, like, RE Revelations 3 or something. But I don't mind RE1 Re-Remake.
Hey, just give Naughty Dog some time, lol.
Lunar 1 arguably has three remakes. FF4 as well.
REREmake (can believe I'm saying that in a serious sentence) actually does make sense. RE4R seriously teased Wesker and RE5R at the end, but creatively it makes no sense to jump into RE5R without first establishing NuChris and their rivalry/hatred of each other.
I would be really surprised if they do that. Jill has always been the face of RE1.
At the same time, it would be the completion of her being sidelined from RE1 storyline. Which we saw in CV and then RE5. Instead of a protagonist of the Mansion incident she became a detail orbiting Wesker/Chris rivalry. And that's when she wasn't flat out ignored.
Shes really nice in real life too, met her at a con and my buddy who was a huge fan of hers couldnt make it- she actually let me facetime him and had a chat with him on my phone for a bit - she loves being Jill!
Unironically I want this.
Lisa was underused in the first REmake. Give her the Mr.X treatment and a proper boss battle.
They are all old at this point but Capcom won't let them actually age. Jill is like in her 50s and i believe Capcom said her aging has slowed due to the virus and being cured. All of them, even Rebecca should have moved on and had a family at this point, but can't do that! They will all die of old age fighting Umbrella (or whatever) before acting like normal people.
But...but that's not the POINT of Lisa. She's a scared, angry kid who's lashing out when someone gets too close to her, not an aggressive monster hunting the player. That's the character. Why do people want them to change the essence of the character just for another samey boring stalker mechanic?
I mean, Lisa is sort of a stalker-adjacent enemy in RE 2002. Which was furthered by her presence in Umbrella Chronicles.
I fully expect Lisa to be an actual stalker this time around, but I'm hoping against hope that Capcom won't implement yet another stalker enemy in their games.
Yeah, I want this and I want something else that's going to be sort of a hot take, I guess?
I want a RE1 reimagining to feature coop. I want Chris and Jill exploring the mansion simultaneously. Whether players stick together or go their Separate Waysā¢ is up to them. Singleplayer would be just like RE5/Revelations/RE6, with the NPC character just sort of being there.
I'm glad we got an opportunity for a proper fixed camera remake for RE1 before what's probably going to be a third person over the shoulder version this will end up being.
This is why
They want to canonically force me to acknowledge that Chris wasn't just sitting his meathead ass in a jail cell during the events of RE1 and I will be furious
She's defending herself and her territory. It's kind of the opposite of a stalker monster. She's a caged, panicked child who's in constant pain, not an Umbrella BOW being sent to specifically hunt down the main characters.
Use her in the one area she hung out in in her original appearance and limit her exclusively to that area. Having her chase the player around the entire mansion is a betrayal of the character.
