Capcom has recently found success with the remakes of classic entries in the Resident Evil franchise. With Resident Evil 4 next in line for a remake, franchise creator Shinji Mikami comments on that possibility.
Talking to IGN, Mikami comments, "I saw a video of the Resident Evil 2 Remake and I thought it was very good. I think they're going to continue to remake these games since they're selling well."
When it comes to the inevitable remake of RE4, Mikami says, “As long as it turns out good, I have no issues with it.”
Resident Evil 4 released in 2005, and it’s one of the only two RE games which Mikami directed. In the game you take control of former Racoon City officer Leon as he’s sent on a mission to rescue the US president’s daughter who was kidnapped by a mysterious cult.
Resident Evil 4 would be the last RE game due for a remake, as Resident Evil 5 was released for the current generation of consoles. Of course, they can also remake Resident Evil: Deadly Silence and The Umbrella Chronicles, but it may be best if the franchise just moved forward.
A remake of Resident Evil 4 has not been officially announced, but with the success of the last two remakes, it’s very possible Capcom would say something before the year ends.
