- With rumours of another Resident Evil 1 remake swirling around, I decided to sit down and hash out my thoughts about why it shouldn't be a 1-1 recreation of either the original or the 2002

Without their content, this video probably wouldn't have happened.
I would love to play the scene before the Spencer mansion, being outside in the woods, uncover some puzzles and clues then hide or run from the Zombie dogs etc
I just want some kind of A/B scenarios with Chris and Jill, maybe with the B character starting the game outside the mansion. I’d also like an ending where all four survivors get on the helicopter.
Starting outside the mansion as the other character is definitely a great idea. We saw something similar to that in the B campaigns for the RE2 remake. I think they'd have to change up the B campaign a bit to avoid the other protagonist getting locked up for the rest of the game at a certain point, though.
Get to the chopper!
@@Shweelaneven though RE2 remake had a b scenario, it was hardly one at all. Genuinely if they did the A/B scenario system correctly it'd be the perfect RE game to me. It would be ironic if RE1 remake remake did that better than RE2 remake, when the original RE1 didn't even have that
Aren't re2 and re3 reimagenings?
This remake needs a true ending as well
I feel like Capcom is purposely avoiding the Code Veronica remake
100% agree. As much as I'm hoping they'll do one, I'm not expecting them to go for it because of their long, long history of ignoring CV and always giving it the short end of the stick compared to its older and younger siblings.
@@ShweelanOr they are just getting RE1 and 0 out of the way first and then drop CV shortly before RE5 remake since all these games are Wesker focused.
@OWmyDragonballz That's the dream. Hopefully it turns out to be real.
@@OWmyDragonballzGod I hope you're right
I feel like at some point they have to do that.
I just hope the "Jill Sandwich" line is in it. And then Jill slaps Barry, and it is never spoken of again between them.
"Reimagining"
This is just going to be an Excuse when they inevitably cut content that the Og Remake kept.
Yeah, probably.
To an extent yeah, but ideally it'll be an re4 situation rather than a re3 situation
@@marsinvader9078 That's not good either since that game also cut content.
@@frozenvoltz6739 I'm just saying if it's going to happen hopefully it's done Tastefully
@@marsinvader9078 And that's why this remake shouldn't happen. The fact that we have to HOPE that a modern remake doesn't cut content when a 2002 remake didn't is shameful. Shinji Mikami was able to recreate the entirety of RE1 without removing things, instead he fixed all of the problems and expanded the gameplay and levels. 3 remakes came out after 1 and they still can't match RE1R, maybe they should stop producing them at that point, especially when overthrowing RE1R isn't hard.
I can definitely see the woods getting expanded, it getting the same treatment that the lake did in RE4. i dont know how theyre going to treat the greenhouse though. Underated area. I want to ask you what special additional game modes they can add to RE1 since every recent has some except RE3 (because of course)
I think bringing back stuff like invisible enemies and one dangerous zombie from the 2002 remake would be cool, but allowing you to turn off the latter if you don't want it to deal with it anymore should the first thing. A classic Mercenaries mode where you have to blitz through the mansion as fast as possible while killing enemies using specific weapons could be a pretty sweet addition. The completion points store for extra items, unlocks, and costumes is almost guaranteed at this point because they've all had it since RE3R, iirc. We could even see the return of something similar to Ghost Survivors from the RE2 remake that show the fates of the members of Bravo team before you arrive at the mansion.
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. What've you got in mind?
@@Shweelan well I was kind of thinking the same thing as you but I also envisioned a survival mode where the amount of enemy's grow as resources lower, so you'd have to have stock up and been skillful in the beginning rounds
@Shweelan u know they could always introduce us to new types of enemies like the female faceless researchers,the ones lisa de-faced,with her bare hands/dirty nails,and idk about u but Lisa is infectious as hell,so u do the math,hell thy could expand on Lisa's boss fight since she IS the incubator for G virus,she could have a mutated stage,showcasing what leon and claire would face later on in 2R
As for puzzles : thy could introduce new puzzles tht takes advantage of the microphone on modern consoles controllers,like tht one puzzle where u gotta blow the candles a certain way thru the microphone which was only possible in deadly silence on DS console,since the inclusion of microphones weren't available on Ps platforms till ps4 and beyond
for me there's always flaws and miss opportunity on remakes, they kept saying remake is a way for modernizing games and taking advantage of new technology when some entries just cut content and missing features, like RE2 A & B scenario, story just remained the same and no connection between Leon and Claire gameplay-wise with zapping system, like you can pick up either the machinegun or sidepack or none of them and save for B scenario, they even didn't even try that in the remake
RE 2002 will never go away or be forgotten; I don't see why a modern RE remake hurts anybody. It's time to get hyped, guys. With the RE1 remake next generation, they claim to dive more into "RE lore," which sounds amazing with modern mechanics and graphics. New additions to the story are being added, along with possible new enemies. As great as RE1 2002 and OG are, casuals will likely never play them. This makes sense. I don't think anyone expects it to be better than 02 RE, but I still don't see why people are upset about this remake! I was excited to see it! Then again, this is the RE community, not a very easy bunch to please cry baby negative Nancies, basically. 🤣🤣 This isn't directed at Shweelan, btw. I know he is as hyped as i am!
If anything, it'd add the origins and some much needed context to characters such as jill, chris, and wesker who, for people who only started getting into RE since RE7 or RE2 remake, kinda just exist but there's no real beginning for them unless you go back and play games which are really old at this point, as well as not quite fitting into the new canon. I'm not quite convinced that this RE1reremake is going to happen so soon but I'd like to see it either way.
If the rumours are to be believed, the thing's going to be released for the 30th anniversary in 2026, so it's still a good ways out at the moment. I am curious to see if we'll get RE9 or any other hypothetical remakes like 5 or something else before then, or if it's all going to be mainline and spinoff releases in the meantime before 2026 hits.
U know they could always expand upon the lore thru the spencer family,u know the guy who owns the setting of the game,same way the team introduced us to new members/lore of salazar family,or saddlers family in 4R thru notes and files,thy could expand upon the wesker project thru hints and clues left in classified files or even thru reports written by alex wesker,thy could even give us a diary or two of spencer himself since he did stay at the mansion till 1988-1990 whn lisa was infected with NE alpha parasite,they could even give us tidbits of info on the progenitor virus
It can't be 1:1. The game would be way too short if you played it OTS. People would fly through it.
Theyre going to have to change it in some way or another.
I agree, no point in just taking the 2002 REmake and slapping a 3rd person camera on it. I personally would like to see them go first person and have a vibe similar to RE7 and games like amnesia, go all in with the body horror and the madness that humans are capable of in the name of science and all that kind of stuff. One character I would love to see explored further is Lisa Trevor, I would imagine she'll be used like a MR X kind of character.
Also in my humble opinion, the giant spiders should get the chop, always found them a bit silly even when I was a kid playing the original.
The giant spiders do have one of my favourite enemy introductions in the entire series in the RE1 remake, where you walk through a doorway and just see one of them sat directly above you on the other side as still as a statue. Even as someone who isn't scared by horror games, that section made my skin crawl the first time I saw it.
@@Shweelanthat was a good scene setup I must say, for me the scariest moment was that cut scene that introduces you to the hunters. That whole setup of something running towards you but you haven't seen it yet. To be fair RE and the remake have quite a few chefs kiss moments of horror genius even to this day.
To 11 year old me, that made me shit myself 😂
The enemies in RE1 that move with insane speed were genuinely the most heart-pounding things in the game. Crimson Heads in the remake filled that role especially well, and the normal introduction of them being one of them sprinting at full speed down an off-screen corridor and leaving you barely any time to wonder what the hell was moving faster than anything you'd run into at that point before its already on top of you.
I’m just gonna flat out say it. This is a terrible idea. Remaking a remake just seems creatively bankrupt. I may not like fixed camera angles or tank controls, but this just seems like a waste of time and money. Like, just make a new game! Leave the games that the tank control crowd like, and let the series evolve.
Yes because all the re-imagining of the recent titles has been dog shit so far. Let them continued making watered down remakes with levels, story and enemies missing. RE4 will be the last remake I bought.
"All"🤡
I don't understand why Capcom is not remaking spinoffs like Code Veronica or non RE games like Dino Crisis. Do they really not have any faith or potential in those? 3 Dino Crisis games and only 2 good games.
I think Dino Crisis is in the freezer because of how poorly it sold in comparison to its Capcom cousins. The entire Dino Crisis franchise sold less than OG RE2's initial PS1 release did, so I can understand why that one's not seeing the light of day again.
CV is also a bit of the red headed stepchild in terms of financial success and Capcom has a long history of mistreating it over the years. I really hope they do remake it, but I'm not expecting them to.
Dino Crisis does deserve a remake though.
Definitely. Capcom has loads of dormant franchises like Dino Crisis, Onimusha, and Lost Planet that could do with the remake or revival treatment. I've filled in a few surveys for them over the years at this point and both DC and Onimusha always rank really high on the list whenever they ask their fans what series they think deserves the remake treatment.
Because it’s all about money. The Onimusha franchise is one of my favorites. In fact, I love and played it more than Devil May Cry. I wish they would bring it back but, unfortunately these young kids don’t gaf about games like the generation before them did. All they care about is streaming.
Maybe this Resident Evil 1 remake would be something more similar to RE2 & RE3 & RE4 Remake than the original remake.
If they are remaking it, it's 100% going to be in-line with the other over-the-shoulder remakes. They're trying to get a nice through line of mechanical, tonal, and narrative consistency with the newest batch of RE games, so I'm 100% expecting it to look and play like RE2 remake above all else.
@@Shweelanhopefully if thts the case they wont cut content/enemies or go lazy with the scenario structure,honestly if they give it 4R treatment while same time makin it slow paced survival horror as 2R,itd b perfect in my humble opinion ofc
Remake also means reimagined
