We’ve released three remakes and they all have been received very well. Speaking at a PlayStation event, Yasuhiro Anpo, the director of the well-received Resident Evil 4 remake, said that folks should expect more remakes in the style of 2019’s Resident Evil 2.

That trend, it seems, is going to continue. That approach was then carried on to Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4, both of which saw complete, ground-up remakes in the years that followed. But in 2019, Capcom brought the house down with an outstanding recreation of Resident Evil 2, this time with a new camera perspective, gameplay style, and reinvisioned maps and scenarios.

Earning positive reception, this remake kept the old-school camera perspective and tank controls, and aimed for a pretty thorough 1:1 recreation of the original PlayStation release in 1996. Back in 2002, Capcom remade the original Resident Evil for the Nintendo GameCube. Resident Evil is no stranger to remakes and re-releases of games, and the results have usually been success stories.
