As they wrapped up that remake, it seems the logical choice would be the next major entry in the franchise: Resident Evil CODE: Veronica. It had the best representations of Jill Valentine in the entire series, and the updated version of Carlos makes you wish he was present at all in the rest of the franchise. While Resident Evil 3 didn’t capture audiences like the second remake, there were still a lot of positives to come out of it. This course correction with a new approach, first-person, and a return to old in Resident Evil 2’s remake, allowed fans who might not have gravitated towards the new to instead get something out of the old. Though Resident Evil 6 still remains one of the best-selling entries in the franchise, its critical reception was downright bad. When the remake for Resident Evil 2 came out, it, along with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard two years before, proved to be the shot in the arm the franchise needed when winning a number of fans back. As Capcom comes off their latest success in the Resident Evil franchise with the release of Village, fans are looking forward to what’s next.
