Resident Evil Requiem gave me hope for a Resident Evil 6 remake

In 2009, Capcom entered its hubris era. The publisher was riding high off the success of Resident Evil 4and was ready to capitalize by continuing to transform its survival-horror juggernaut into a full-blown action series. Resident Evil 5 attempted to repeat its predecessor’s lightning-in-a-bottle success with mixed results, but Capcom’s ambitions came crashing down to Earth in 2012 with Resident Evil 6. The game was a notorious misstep that almost killed the series for good until Resident Evil 7 Biohazard restored its goodwill five years later. It’s not the kind of game that typically gets redeemed with endless remasters and remakes.
