IGN: The Resident Evil Game That Can't Be Remade

He's right up until he starts talking about racism. I really dislike how RE5 and RE6 basically dropped the survival horror angle to just be a shooter.

The real reason they can't remake RE5 is because video games haven't actually advanced past it. Third-person "action" slop continues to ruin the industry.

I wonder if this video is some kind of marketing aimed at american audience by manufacturing fake outrage.
Specifically the line in the video at 5:22, saying that you cannot make shooting game in Africa post BLM, the video hovewer never acuses Capcom or developers of racism. They berate the game but conveniently leave out that Capcom literally made it.
Another thing is that Capcom itself is Japanese company, so who this video even adressing with its assertions of post BLM world?
As I see it, it just a journoscum attemp to feign "concerns" for clicks. They did it before in this article , writing it a month before they gave this game a 9/10 here. And they do it again.
 
I remember all this horseshit back in 2008-9. If they could barely do it then, they sure can't do it now.

The E3 reveal for RE5 was incredible. But it got neutered and hacked and slashed in late-development. Nobody wanted Sheva. No story, no personality, just a standard "keeping the white guy in check" diversity hire.

It's pretty obvious that the reason Resident Evil 5 was such a TREMENDOUS success was because of it's MASSIVE budget:

And wh-wha-what you think that Capcom, a multi-milion company could manage to remake this masterpiece WITHOUT any budget cuts? In this economy? Hhhhahahahahahaha, you must be crazier than I am pimp!

I remember back when this game released and video game journo fags were crying about racism back then. I bought it on Steam a while back and tried to play it. I just didn't get into it. I was never a fan of the RE games. I actually refunded it.

Now FC2 is my nigger killing game. I installed the Realism and Redux mod a while back.

They didn't have the same problem with his African set game.

That's because they threw in some white mercenaries as well.
 
I feel like almost nobody knows about what RE5 was meant to be before it was completely butchered for the sake of pleasing the western "audiences" because of how hard Capcom of America or whatever came down on the devs. The current woke media would be melting the fuck down over the idea of an even remotely faithful remake of what it was originally going to be.

We didn't get the flashback sequence where Josh rescues Sheva from a warlord's brutal attack on her home village, when she picked up a gun for the first time and with it her entire character motivations. They shaved the dark hair off of the guy in that restraining chair who was meant to demonstrate that blue eyes alone aren't enough to save you from the ill effects of uroboros. They removed the entire Aryan world order narrative from Wesker's plan because "villains" aren't allowed to talk about eugenics in a setting that demonstrates pure genes as objectively advantageous, even if that setting is pure science fiction. The players have no idea why Jill's hair was turned blonde and her deep blue eyes turned almost grey by the virus; there's a rare Aryan trait that makes some of their hair change color, scaling between brown and blonde depending on their sun exposure (the MRE guy, Steve has this gene) as well as making their eyes scale between deep blue and grey. The entire ending (IDFK/R what it even was) was scrapped and replaced with the volcano stage containing the boulder punching meme. They can't depict Africans as Africans, so most of the character models were redone to be white and middle eastern. Josh's daring escape that led to his magic reappearing act was cut, because it involved the African warlords who's entire storyline of assisting Wesker in exchange for shit they'd never live to obtain got cut. The mechanic that was heavily showcased in trailers was cut; the one where if you move from the inside of a dark area into the harsh African sun, you're pretty much blind and your eyes have to adjust, and the vice versa; this was meant to make to fear both darkness and harsh light. I'm probably forgetting a lot more off the top of my head, but give me a break, I saw this shit ages ago when I was a kid.

All of those important story and immersion aspects and more were cut to appease the woke mob, and they still flipped shit. Holy fuck, Africans live in Africa where they are routinely savaged by warlords and some still chuck spears, but don't show it or talk about it. But keep the tribal lingerie costume for Sheva, though. Hitler is supposed to be the most evil guy to ever BBEG IRL, but don't depict anything like that in the vidya. The light/dark mechanic was probably just cut due to time constraints because of the woke demands though, TBF. There's no fucking excuse for the coomer costumes, especially the gay biker porn shit for Chris, that was purely globohomo announcing loud and proud that they took our beloved, classic franchise over. Sick of this shit and I'm still not touching anything they release post RE5, especially the cashgrab remakes with their new doses of woke and faggotry. RE was on life support at 5 and dead at 6. Don't come at me with the catboy bondage lingerie costume they made for Leon. Shit's gay.

Remembered Sheva and found myself turning into the protagonist of Robert E. Howard's Black Canaan

Not the only thing that makes me recall that tale. (10:42)

Forget the whole “DASS RAYCISS!!!” narrative they’re trying to pull.
Isn’t RE5 the game notorious for being nothing but one giant escort mission with some of the dumbest AI ever seen in a game? That alone is why it shouldn’t be remembered.

Its a bit shitty. I prefer 6 to be honest, and thats a game I would only recommend to Resi series fans, as whilst I enjoy it enough to have fun, many people hated it.

Then you are the wandering years, with all those cash in games, like the Umbrella one etc.

Outbreak 1 and 2 could be pushed into a single game package. It needed online to work so might be nice to get another shot. I should say it was made to be played online, you can do it offline, its just not as good.

@Nonconsentual Pronouns Do you have any evidence for the content you're talking about? This would be interesting, if true. I know there is definitely something fucky about the game's story, there is still a black supremacist plotline in the game that is never explained and you have to go on the wiki to even know about it(the intro with the megaphone guy and the execution, that's apparently a black supremacist group that hunts whites down). Then there is that really weird moment where a white, blond haired woman is abducted and taken into a home while screaming. Whole thing is really rapey and uncomfortable to see, but thankfully she just has a zombie parasite shoved down her throat and her head has las plagas popping out of it, crisis averted. Really, now that I think about it there are a lot of blond, blue eyed characters in this game. Couldn't just be a coincidence.
What you're saying, with the aryan white supremacists groups and Jill having her hair color changed all of a sudden, I am guessing this was the missing link that was actually cut. The whole eugenics thing falls flat for Wesker in the final game since he doesn't show any evidence of what he's talking about, it's just mumbo jumbo you would expect an evil villain to rant about, but if this was about some sort race related eugenics, then this would actually be really interesting.
Shame about the darkness/light contrast feature being cut. Not crazy about the survival mechanics but you could have some fun with this.

What if they fixed the AI better and changed the game from being an escort mission to a more gritty street walker mission?

They should remake it and make it actually racist this time; the plaga infestation causes the locals to grow giant red lips, one of Chris's alternate outfits is a Klansman robe, Wesker quotes the "kill niggers" copypasta verbatim, and Sheva is no longer black but an Afrikaaner.

I view all of this as a pretext to eventually remake Resident Evil 6 but as a good game this time.

Probably. Which just blows my mind because... well maybe my opinion is too narrow. I see two reasons to maybe make a remake:

  1. The game looks visually bad and/or the UI is outdated to the point where gameplay is bogged down and a few simple modernizations would solve the issues.
  2. The game is old.
And it is important to say that the gulf between one and two in that list is huge, miles and miles; furthermore, I give number one a sideways glance as well, but I can deal with it and don't want to be a complete ballbuster.

So you can remake games to fix bad controls or visuals that impede gameplay and you can remake games if they are old... I guess. You cannot remake a game to make it good because the original sucked. Just make a new game!

Brominer was neat, but shit. So you make Infiniminer, not Brominer the Return. Infiniminer is better but still shit, so you make Minecraft, not Memories of Infiniminer: codeRED.

And then they never can just make quality of life improvements, can they? Very quickly the content revisions start. Shit, when they re-released (not remade or remastered) Chrono Trigger for mobile phones the dumbfucks found a way to introduce bugs and glitches that were not present in the original or any of the handful of prior re-releases. I see the increase in remakes as directly correlative to the decline in the general quality of games.

In the case of Resident Evil, you can mostly sell me on the new remakes of 2 and maybe 3. All the others either have servicable remakes or in the case of anything from 4 to now, the games are good looking and very playable.
