It's probably hopeful thinking on my part, but I do wish that RE 5 and 6 could get remakes. While the stories were great, the games were often disliked because, gameplay wise, they were huge departures from what Resident Evil once was, focusing more on action rather than horror. Some blame RE4 for the change, as it does have more action in it.
However, with the success of the RE4 remake, I can see the potential for 5 and 6. Definitely get rid of the point system, cuz I feel it dampened the experience.
I've played a small bit of RE5, but I have played most of RE6 and one of things I didn't like about 6 is the lack of document collecting. I know that its a weird complaint, but its what I like about games like this that if you wanna get the full picture of what the fuck is going on, you've gotta find these documents/letters/notes/whatever. I hated that you've gotta find those emblems and waste ammo for some lore.
Okay, sure there is potential with RE 5. What about RE 6, as it was designed for co-op and had four different perspectives/campaigns?
Easy. While there are four different perspectives, their stories are connected. So, have the campaigns come together in pairs, one pair being the main game and the other being a DLC.
And, by pairs, I mean:
One of the two campaigns takes up most of the story with a secondary story following the second campaign. My mind went to Revelations 1 and 2 with this idea. In 1, you mostly follow Jill and Parker with a bit of Chris and Jessica (plus those other dudes, can't remember their names, but I loved them). In 2, you mostly follow Claire and Moira with a bit of Barry and Natalia.
As for which campaign to pair off, I've initially thought Leon/Jake for the main game, as Leon's campaign had more plot importance to the whole game and Jake's importance to the story as the son of Albert Wesker (plus having Sherry there is pretty darn cool and new characters outside of Leon, Chris, and Ada!). And, if memory serves right, Derek Simmons is their common enemy. Carla does make an appearance, but her role is more prominent with Chris and Ada, the pair I think could be the DLC.
Obviously, changes are gonna have to be made and I'd be all for it if it means making 5 and 6 fucking terrifying as the RE games they are supposed to be.
They are good action games, but not great Resident Evil games.
If you guys have a different idea, feel free to share!!!
