Resident Evil 5 simply can’t be remade, at least not to the standards of Capcom’s best work. And so the answer is not to remake RE5, but to rewrite.

With the release of the Resident Evil 4 remake release last year, Capcom’s project to remake the glory years of its survival horror series is complete. So the big question is: where next? The obvious answer is a Resident Evil 5 remake. But on the game’s 15th anniversary, it’s clear that moving forward chronologically will take Capcom’s remakes into the series’ weakest era – an era of gameplay and narrative decisions best left in the past.
