The Resident Evil 3 remake is a rather disappointing follow-up to last year's Resident Evil 2, but it doesn't look like this train is stopping any time soon. According to a new set of rumours doing the rounds today from reliable sources, Capcom has yet another remake in development right now. Helmed by Resident Evil 3 support studio, the developer is supposedly leading a project targeting a release in 2022.
Video Games Chronicle initially reported the news, stating: "it is currently working as the primary developer on a larger remake project for Capcom." Industry insider Aesthetic Gamer, who has a somewhat positive and reliable track record, expanded on the claim by saying that the game is planned for 2022 and is not a remake of either Dino Crisis or Resident Evil: Code Veronica X. Given the year stated, we would also expect this to be a PlayStation 5 game.
So, what could it be? Resident Evil 4 could be a good shout, but considering the stature that title holds, the Japanese developer is going to need to put in a lot more work to avoid another Resident Evil 3 situation. At the same time, Capcom has other franchises it could call upon for a remake of a classic. What do you hope this project is? What do you want Capcom to remake next?

I think saying to avoid another Resident Evil 3 situation is a bit harsh, Liam. Makes it sound like it's just one for the bargain bin.
A Resident Evil 4 remake would be very popular, I'm sure, seems a good bet.
RE4 would require a 4th purchase ( quad dip? ) from me. I'm down with that.
@LieutenantFatman they would have to cover some parts of code veronica if they went straight to 4
Since when a game gets a 7 is disappointing.a plague tales of innocence get a 6 on this site but everywhere its gets 8 and 9.so its all good.word up son
Doesn’t really sound like RE3 remake was all that terrible? More a source material issue - which since 4 is held in such high regard to begin with shouldn’t really be a problem if that were the remake.
Auto Modellista please. Thanks.
Maximo 3 confirmed!
Damn, a 7 is a disappointment hey?
I guess so seeing as how Days Gone also got one.
What a terrible, terrible, terrible game.
Opening line seems a bit harsh Liam given this site always advises people not to discount 7/10's 😅
Anyway, if its not Dino crisis, hopefully that means a dino crisis remake is coming next year instead.
Id like a remake of onimusha 3 (or a brand new game) and more phoenix wright collections.
I suspect it will be resi 4 - but hope they dont forget code veronica
@Steel76 This is the 2022 game, so we'll probably get RE8 next year.
Onimusha.
@Steel76 Capcom has several teams for RE, and RE8 has certainly been in development since they wrapped up on the DLC for 7. I really don't think Capcom said "RE7 has done quite well for us, let's just not start making 8 and let the other teams do their remakes while we twiddle our thumbs."
@Rob_230 A game can be both a 7/10 and disappointing.
You heard it here first folks Gun.smoke remake coming to PS5!!!!
Unlike the situation with resident evil 2 and 3 if they cut content from the ResidentEvil 4 remake it could end up worse than the original.
If it’s not Dino Crisis 1 or 2 then I’m out. It’d be really nice to to back and play those through a remake perspective
Please be Dragon's Dogma.
I bet it is a remake of the PS2 game "Haunting Ground"
https://survivalhorror.fandom.com/wiki/Haunting_Ground
I hope it's survivor. Or dead aim. Just to piss off every customer they have.
@playstation1995 A Plagues Tale was a masterpiece as far as I'm concerned!Was easily a 9 from me...can't believe it only got a 6 on here..
As for the new Capcom game...I'm actually really disappointed it's not Code Veronica,loved that game (was so much better than 3 and 4)and felt sure it would be next on the list.
I actually want a remake of Dead Rising.
i actually hope it's NOT Resident Evil, we already had Resi 2 and 3, 4 doesn't need doing at all, the HD remaster is perfectly fine
if they are going to remake something i want it to be one of their older properties like the Breath of Fire series
or maybe the rest of the Onimusha series
Onimusha would be amazing in the RE Engine, with combat similar to how God Of War
@Wazeddie22. I agree with you a. Plague tales is a 9 from me also.great game.word up son
@LieutenantFatman Yeah, game's not even out yet and he considers it a flop.
Can we please leave the freaking hyperbole at the door. It’s already tiring acting like resident evil 3 remake was some unmitigated disaster that sold poorly because it was so bad like come on
@TheBuzz That'd be terrific! Sorely under-appreciated game that.
I'd love to see Capcom giving the Breath of Fire series some new... love. A remake of any BoF would be awesome.
I hope it's resident evil 4, I want to replay the game with RE Engine graphics on ps5
Power Stone 2!!!!
Just do dino crisis for Jurassic sake
Weird that noone mentioned this yet, but the remake seems to be worked on by a new studio led by an ex-Platinum guy. Maybe Viewtiful Joe or another Clover game?
Megaman or Ghosts n Goblins would be great.
@clvr Viewtiful Joe would be brilliant 👍
If it's outbreak files 1&2 and the cancelled content from 3 I'll poop a dook.
I'd die if it ends up being this...
For decades ive wished for a complete remake of street fighter 1.
Make all the characters playable, add extra specials etc, fancy graphics, make it actually playable lol. Add more stages and perhaps a few new characters.
Yep thatd be preeeetty cool
Okami for sure
I don’t want a remake of Resi 4. Give the Resident Evil remakes a break and bring back Dino Crisis.
Street Fighter Zero 3 remake confirmed ! 🎉
Hopefully the Outbreak files! And Resi 3 Remake has generally reviewed quite well apart from a few sites. Looking forward to it since ive always liked 3 more than 2. Fight me!
@LieutenantFatman resident evil 4 isn't old with fixed camera angles,tank controls and per-rendered backgrounds so don't know why you guy's keep asking for a remake of 4
@Steel76 nah you will whine about that too
@Orpheus79V 437 didn't do well? Are you drunk?
@Undeadlogan
I didn't ask for anything, just said it was a good bet due to its popularity. Stop trolling.
@Stragen8 It’s not a source material issue if they couldn’t be bothered remaking the whole game! They cut half the original locations and pretty much all the puzzles!
@ellsworth004 While I love Okami dearly a remake by a third party without Hideki Kamiya would be a tragedy. Plus the original doesn’t really need a remake - it upscale a to 4K beautifully and only really needs mild ease-of-life changes made to some of its antiquated PS2-era systems.
What it really needs is to be sub-licensed to Platinum Games so Kamiya-sensei can make the full-fledged ambitious next-gen sequel he always wanted to!
@Futurekubik yeah thats pretty true, it really doesnt need a remake. Hopefully it will be BC with ps5.
@LieutenantFatman not getting a remake 4 anyway so don't be stupid
@Undeadlogan Come on now, there's no need to insult everyone that you reply to, is there?
@dark_knightmare2 "sold poorly", it isn't even released lmao
Resident evil code Veronica definitely needs a Remake because that is the worst RE title because of all the backtracking it has awesome characters which remind you it has Wesker and continue the story for Claire from RE2, So make both titles
@Steel76 maybe you are a young gamer but people has been asking especially resident evil remake Since early 2000’s ever since they remake RE1, people/fans wanted RE2 & RE3 and now people want Code Veronica. I mean some of the new games in current year are full of micro transaction or lazy half done i rather get new look classic games then sh*tty new products put out nowadays
I’m playing Resident Evil 3 at the moment and it’s brilliant, to avoid a resident evil 3 situation I’m assuming means creating poor game
@Undeadlogan Are you? I didn't say "437", I said 7, and I said it did well, the opposite of your claim, idiot.
Edit: Ah, he was banned. Good.
