Hear me out:
DISCLAIMER: I do think REmake is pretty much a perfect RE game. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I don't think there's room to remake it again. REmake was made 6 years after the original. It's now 18+ years since that remake. I'm not opposed to another retelling.
Here are five reasons I want a remake of such an "untouchable" classic.
I know I'm going to be labeled a heretic for wanting another Resident Evil Remake, I know you can't "top perfection" and I LOVE REmake, think it's arguably the best Resident Evil game of all time. However, I also realise there's a lot of "rose tinting" when I play the game getting endorphins from nostalgia and when I start thinking about it, the more I want an expanded story and expanded locations in the game.
I also think it would be nice for a "fixed camera" mode.
Here's some bonus footage of REmake areas remade in fixed camera and RE7 in a fixed camera perspective.

Here are five reasons I want a remake of such an "untouchable" classic.
- Because I want a VR experience / "visual showcase" playing George Trevor in RE-Engine (you may as well put those assets to good use
- Because I want to play the intro of Resident Evil searching for the Bravo team in the first person and having to run away from the packs of Zombie-Dogs
- Because despite being perfect for us old school Resident Evil fans objectively there's a lot of room for improvement gameplay-wise
- There's also a lot of room for expansion, for example, the Barracks area would be great to see more labs, you get the Aqua Ring which represents water BOW environments, but I want a jungle area to see where Yawn and the Giant Spider escaped from and an area where Hunters are stored (and subsequently unleashed), also the pens where the keeper worked, oh and Spencer's "Master Bedroom" would be a nice touch to expand upon as well as other areas in the remake.
- A Remake of RE1 again could mean a remake of RE0 and perhaps we can make more sense if they were developed in tandem. RE0's story is convoluted and perhaps having an additional DLC with some parts of Umbrella Chronicles with Richard and Rebecca working together would be fantastic. Making Rebecca a little more badass and experienced in a REmake and making her timid and grow as a person in RE0 would be a nice touch, having Rebecca and Barry in both scenarios would be nice too.
