Capcom’s Potential Rewrite of Resident Evil 5 Offers Hope for the Series

Capcom’s project to remake the glory years of its survival horror series is complete with the release of Resident Evil 4 last year. However, the post-credits scene of the game suggests that the remakes aren’t over. The big question arises: where next?

As the 15th anniversary of Resident Evil 5 approaches, it’s clear that moving forward chronologically will take Capcom’s remakes into the series’ weakest era. Resident Evil 5 simply can’t be remade to the standards of Capcom’s best work. The answer, therefore, is not to remake, but to rewrite.

Resident Evil 5, an action game through-and-through, does not align with the survival horror essence of the series. With its cover-shooter mechanics, vehicle chases with on-rails turret sequences, and the constant rattle of assault rifles, the game deviates from the core of the franchise. The narrative decisions and gameplay mechanics of Resident Evil 5 are considered best left in the past.

Capcom’s decision to rewrite rather than remake the game could potentially lead to a reimagined version that stays true to the survival horror roots of the series. This approach could offer a fresh take on the game, revitalizing it for both existing fans and new players.

While the future of the Resident Evil series remains uncertain, the prospect of rewriting Resident Evil 5 opens up exciting possibilities for the franchise. As fans eagerly await news of Capcom’s next move, the potential for a reimagined Resident Evil 5 offers hope for the series’ continued success.
