I would say that RE4 was able to toe the line between action and horror successfully, so it makes it a lot easier for Capcom to lean into the horror more with the remake.
RE5 on the other hand went full action, so it would be more difficult for them to remake the game (and introduce more horror) without it feeling like a totally, 100% different game.
@GamingFan4Lyf It would be interesting to see if it would even be possible to remake 5 and 6.
If they did, they would have to totally change the tone and gameplay loop. I liked RE5, but it was just a third person shooter at best. RE6 was the only RE I hated and couldn't bring myself to finish.
I really don’t get the hate for full remakes of old titles.
If a game was good when it was released but looks/plays very dated then why shouldn’t these companies introduce these games to a whole new generation of gamers?
I’m 28, but I’ll be the first to admit there’s a lot of older titles I didn’t get to play that I’m glad were given a full remake for me to experience (Resident Evil 2, for example).
I second this. I hope PS Studios explores different genres in regards to any new IPs from here on out. Returnal was a good first step. But let’s see a FPS game, a survival horror game, a metroidvania, a stealth game, etc.

Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Release Date to Be Announced on 23rd June
Recently replayed Innocence on PS5. The game was even better the second time around and I'm excited to see how Amicia has matured.
Re: Psychological Horror Title Luto Aims to Give You Fresh Nightmares on PS5, PS4 in 2022
Sound and looks like Visage, which was amazing(ly scary).
If this is even half as frightening as Visage, then count me in!
Re: System Shock Remains Horrifying in New Gameplay Trailer, Still Slated for PS5, PS4 in 2022
This looks amazing. Hope we get a physical release on PS5.
Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Still Set for 2022 in New Trailer
I’m thinking this will release in November considering that month is wide open right now.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Release Date Targeting November
Makes sense, November is wide open at this point.
Re: Deliver Us Mars Out for PS5, PS4 in September with a PS Plus Discount
This is exciting. I am getting the physical version of Deliver Us the Moon on PS5 later this month.
Re: Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 PS5 Versions Probably Out Next Week
@GamingFan4Lyf Agreed.

Re: Two New PS Store Sales Live Now, Big PS5, PS4 Games Discounted
Guys and gals, do not sleep on Tormented Souls. Plays just like classic Resident Evil, difficulty and all, but very scary and atmospheric!
Re: Hideo Kojima Reportedly Developing a Horror Game Named Overdose
Yikes, if this is Xbox exclusive I may as well just jump off a bridge...
Re: Project M Is a Ridiculously Good Looking Unreal Engine 5 Game Coming to Consoles
@CastelloGG Does that matter?
Re: Capcom Showcase Announced for 13th June
DLC for RE Village would be nice and showing us some more of Pragmata.
Re: Geoff Keighley Says to 'Manage Your Expectations' for Summer Game Fest
I just want a release date for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, A Plague Tale Requiem, and the new Dark Pictures entry.
A couple new reveals would be enough for me, but I think the Xbox showcase will also have some multiplatform announcements as well.
Re: The Callisto Protocol Will Have Exclusive PlayStation Content at Launch
We need more space horror games like this, Dead Space, and Alien Isolation.
Re: Gotham Knights, Modern Warfare 2, Cuphead DLC at Summer Game Fest
The Callisto Protocol is my MOST anticipated game of this year. Merry Christmas to me.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at State of Play?
RE4 Remake and The Callisto Protocol.
But let’s get real, it was all amazing.
Re: PS5, PS4 Horror Game The Callisto Protocol Dated for December 2022
@torne Don’t forget Alan Wake II next year too!
Gonna be a great year for horror games.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream?
As a huge fan of horror games, this was an awesome SOP in my book. 😌
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Announced for PS5, Out March 2023
I screamed at the top of my lungs. ☺️
Re: The Destroy All Humans! 2 Remake Reprobes PS5 This August
I really don’t get the hate for full remakes of old titles.

Re: Talking Point: State of Play Predictions - What Do You Expect?
Obviously PSVR2 announcements, but aside from that:
Resident Evil 4 Remake
Street Fighter 6
Sonic Frontiers
The Callisto Protocol release date/gameplay
Avatar gameplay
Exoprimal gameplay
Resident Evil Village DLC
KOTOR Remake news
Re: State of Play Showcase for Thursday Confirmed, PSVR2 Games Included
Now I’m disappointed. Hopefully the Xbox showcase will show a lot of multiplats.
Re: PlayStation Studios Investment to Be Split Evenly Between Existing and New IP by 2025
@dschons
I second this. I hope PS Studios explores different genres in regards to any new IPs from here on out. Returnal was a good first step. But let’s see a FPS game, a survival horror game, a metroidvania, a stealth game, etc.
Re: No Man's Sky Now Has Its 20th Free Post-Launch Update
I don't care what anyone says... Hello Games has more than redeemed themselves with all these free updates and support that they didn't have to do.
I haven't played NMS in years, but I'm thinking of jumping back in just to see how much it's changed.
Re: Resident Evil 3 PS5 Upgrade Could Be Close to Release
Can we get a remake of Code Veronica please!?
Re: PS Plus Premium's PS1 Games Have Separate Trophy Lists for PS5, PS4
@SoulChimera Awesome, thanks!
Re: PS Plus Premium's PS1 Games Have Separate Trophy Lists for PS5, PS4
I just want the ability to purchase these classic titles on the PS Store.
Re: Preview: New Saints Row Looks Like Fantastic Fun, But It's Also Distinctly Last-Gen
@Resi32 I don't see it...
Re: The Last of Us PS5 Remake Allegedly a Major Holiday Release
I'll be behind this if it's not just a 1:1 remake.
Add in some content, expand on side stories and smaller characters, add in additional gameplay mechanics and items.
Re: Preview: New Saints Row Looks Like Fantastic Fun, But It's Also Distinctly Last-Gen
@BReal I keep seeing people refer to this game as "woke".
What exactly is woke about it?
Re: Horror Game The Callisto Protocol Returns with News This Week
One of my most anticipated games.
Re: Silent Hill 2 Remake from Bloober Team Reportedly in Development
This is awesome. This gen, so far, has been awesome for horror games between Visage, Tormented Souls, RE Village, etc.
And there's so much planned for the genre as well: Dead Space remake, The Callisto Protocol, Alan Wake 2, etc.
Re: Alan Wake 2 Concept Art Shared, But No News This Summer
Alan Wake 2 is in my top 5 most anticipated games of the generation.
Re: Capcom Plans to Release 'Major New Games' This Fiscal Year Amid Record Profits
I’m so curious to see what Pragmata is all about. Very happy with Capcom’s output these last several years.
Re: Gotham Knights' PS4 Version Has Been Cancelled
Great news, indeed. Hopefully we see more of this going forward.
Re: Kao the Kangaroo Is Hopping onto PS5, PS4 on 27th May
Playing Crash Bandicoot 4 right now and loving it, so I'm pumped for this as well! Definitely releasing a lot sooner than I thought.
Re: Mini Review: Lake (PS5) - Mail Sim Stuck Between First and Second Class
Fun fact: the studio that developed this game is based in my hometown.
Re: Avoid Paper Cuts in PS5, PS4's Horror Game Paper Cut Mansion
Horror : 👍
Rogue like: 👎
Re: Best Horror Games on PS5
@JohntheRaptor you mean Callisto Protocol? Haha
Re: Best Horror Games on PS5
Why is Fatal Frame even on this list if it’s “not a good game”.
Also, Visage definitely deserves to be on this list.
Re: Semi-Open World Action Game Hell is Us Gets Weird on PS5 in 2023
I have a severe case of open-world fatigue.
Re: Kingdom Hearts 4 Graphics Better at Release, Using Unreal Engine 5
This is great news, even though I thought the trailer looked amazing anyway.
Re: Rumour: A New Ghost Recon Game That Isn't Frontline Is in Development
You can count on Ubisoft for three things these days:
1. Half-assed live services that won't be supported a year later
2. Bland open world games
3. Shovelware that no one asked for
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft's Making a Hero Shooter Battle Royale Codenamed Pathfinder
There's no one I trust less to support a live service game than Ubisoft.
Re: Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition (PS4) - A Shockingly Poor Remaster of a Divisive PS1 RPG
Square is really killing it these days.
And by killing it, I mean themselves.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West's 1.09 Patch Makes Looting So Much Better
I'm in the minority camp-- I love the animations and the fact that Aloy talks to herself adds realism to me.
But, on the same note, I'm glad there's a choice for people who don't prefer the animations.
Re: Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for April and May 2022
Pretty underwhelming Q2, not that we don't have a lot in our backlogs.
Re: GTA 5 PS5 Will Lift a Physical Release This Month
GTA V released when I was in my teens and GTA VI will (presumably) release when I'm in my 30s.
That's wild.
Re: PlayStation Studios' Firesprite Hiring for a AAA Horror Game
@PlatinumGamer
Unfortunately they haven’t touched Siren in years.
Re: Kao the Kangaroo Continues to Show Platforming Promise in New Trailer
I extremely excited for this. I look at it and think of my childhood instantly.
