Agree on 5. I really hope the remake can do what the 4 remake did for the original. 5 is still to me one of the best coop games out there. While not a great horror game, they really nailed the multiplayer aspect. But, yeah, some moments and subjects in the game are… Yeah. 5 is a game that has not aged well, not due to it’s gameplay, but from the stuff surrounding it. I expect the remake to do a lot better in this regard and I’m crossing my fingers 🤞

RE4 is great, but the tank controls are difficult to get back to. I haven’t tried the remake yet.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that section - definitely distasteful.
