I would games starring Berry's daughter and Ethan's daughter and other next gen characters from 6. Wesker's kid. SHERRY. Heck, Rebecca should have moved into the spotlight at some point.

Also, say what you will about the inherent benefits or outdated-ness of fixed-camera perspective; zombie dogs jumping through those windows will never hit the same in any other perspective
(the same could actually be said of a dozen other scenarios or most of REmake but I digress)

New Leon game? Remake of RE1 (hopefully in the same way RE2 was done)? Count me in for both.
Leon game has to be third person though, and hopefully like RE4.

Me echoing the fans before RE8 came out: "B..b...but Daddy is better and Mia is a bitch! Anyone but Mia!" Yes, a simple search around the RE fanbase and people HATE Mia. I'm one of those few who actually loved her and her gameplay section in RE7, I kinda hope she gets her time to shine (I also love Mia's VA and the stuff she does on Twitch is great XD) but like most RE female protagonist these days they get shoved aside. If your name isn't Ada, Chris, Leon then chances are she's gonna get zapped down the ladder.
That was because of fucking Mikami. The version that became DMC literally had Spencer has a villain with his sons playing a role.
I love RE7 and RE8, I thought Mia was great, and Ethan was Father of the Year.
Yeah I don't get it. I'm pretty sure based on many polls I've seen, Jill has consistently been more popular than two people on that list. She's so overdue to star in the next mainline entry it's not even funny.
I love RE4, but I still to this day can't get over that they did that. RE2, RE3 and CV ended with the characters declaring they want to take down Umbrella.
RE 2002 already changed gameplay significantly compared to RE 1996 - implementing defense items; having zombies come back instead of being gone once you kill them; having Jill's lockpick nerfed and thus making her have to fetch the Sword Key, which was exclusive to Chris in the OG; having Hunters scream for a few seconds before attacking, unlike the overly aggressive ones in the original (and Zero); including new locations and changing up puzzles to the point where they're barely related (the portrait puzzle, for instance, used to be about the cycle of life, but was changed to "match the colors in the portraits to those in the picture"); including AI companions for the Tyrant fight in the heliport...
I think that's kinda it? It changes the gameplay substantially to the point where playing RE1 1996 or any of its rereleases is a completely different experience from playing RE 2002. But not only in gameplay, the entire atmosphere of the mansion was changed when they decided on a different art direction. The rewritten dialogue and cutscenes also set a very different tone to what is present in the OG.
I get where you're coming from, since I'm personally not a fan of RE1 2002 as a remake, but I also love it in spite of that.
Also also, I'm fairly sure Capcom doesn't even have the original art for the pre-rendered backgrounds, which is why they look so odd in the 2015 remaster compared to Zero's 2016 remaster, where they had the original art.
It's weird. I want to be mad at him for that, but at the same time he did create one of the best video games of all time as a result of this.
Remaking the best remake of all time while changing a ton like the previous remasters is a recipe for disaster imo but we'll see.
FFS Capcom Code Veronica was right there

Mia is gone. Her only chance at the spotlight was during Village's initial concept, and I have no doubt in my mind that Capcom didn't even think about making her the main character in it.
Like, yeah, she is presented as a very antagonistic character in 7, but she's also the one that had firearms experience and a deep connection with Eveline. The most absurd thing about Village is it stating Ethan was "mold all along" but Mia, who had been infected for THREE YEARS instead of 24 hours, was perfectly human because of the serum.
Evie showing up to Ethan in Village was stupid. She only wanted him becaus she "loved" Mia and wanted Mia to be with someone she loved, instead of "Daddy" being Jack.
God, I hate Village. Fuck that shit.
Pretty sure this is just repeating the stuff from a few days ago.
There was never any indication within Village, the DLC or subsequent Capcom interviews that the entire timeline would skip to follow Rose. It was an epilogue for one character, who then got closure in the DLC. She might come back as part of a next generation of protagonists when Capcom makes Resident Evil 12 in 2036 or something, but they were never going to let go of their entire cast (without proper closure) for this.
If Capcom wanted to start over they would've done so when they started the remakes, not after 2/3/4 and multiple new threads being introduced in 7 and Village.

I want an ace attorney style game where Jill/Chris/Leon testify in court to get umbrella shut down/jk
But to be fair, We did have Chris and Jill raiding the last Umbrella Headquarters in the Umbrella Chronicles game

I like the idea of REremake.
I don't understand why Leon would be in RE9, though. RE8 ending kinda suggests that it should be followed by a Chris Redfield story.
And one old protagonist is way more than enough, imo. Give me new "clueless" characters.

Did RE4R ever actually say that Umbrella was done? I know it wasn't in the intro and I don't remember finding a note. I haven't played the Ada DLC yet though. That'd be a pretty big directional shift into an alternate 5 and 6 if so.
Is Wesker traveling through the Lifestream?

Pushing the RE5 remake off just a little bit longer so they can try to figure out how to navigate that terrain.
Yes, the remake states Umbrella's done for. Luis comments on it during the chapter in the mines.
REmake is about the same length as REmake 2, maybe a bit shorter.
Classic RE titles were all very short games, the problem with REmake 3 is not that it's short, it's the way that it's short.
The game would have 2 scenarios though.
Was RE:3 really 4-5 hrs first time? It lasted 7 and some change to me.
The length of RE2 remake felt fine to me. 3 felt short. I'm good with RE2 length, and it has two campaigns like that one.
Cool, I'm here for it.
Now how about instead of bundling it with a PvP multiplayer mode, you add a co-op mode and a randomizer mode?

Exarkly. Given how amazing Village and 4R were in VR, I hope Sony takes it on the chin and backs up the money truck for another VR port
Also, after seeing the Death Island movie, I am really, really hoping Jill is in this cause the Leon/Jill combo is unstoppable
Resident Evil games are always excellent ones to replay IMO. And I bet that it'll be no different with a remake of Resident Evil. There'll probably quite a lot of new, additional content and different placements of stuff/creatures. I love to be surprised.
I hope that the mansion has a COMPLETELY different layout. I want it to be full of switchups and deceptive things to fuck with people who played the original.
