It'd be great if the best Resident Evil game got a remake proper, but then they would ruin it by making a bad actress try to replicate Alyson Court just like RE2, and I'm still happy with the remaster I got for the 360. I'd love if they just ported that to the PC, ngl.@Inkarnate

There's been plenty of discourse and push for CODE Veronica to be the next remake, even talk about them remaking the RE1 remake with the controls from RE2 remake (how many times can I say remake?). Personally, if they go ahead with it and once it's done then I think that should be the end of any more remakes from them so they can move on to the hypothetical RE8. That being said, as much as I don't want them to do it because it's not really necessary, I guarantee you that an RE4 remake is on the cards at some point. The funny thing about RE4 though is that it's one of those unique once-in-a-generation game changers that you can't exactly emulate or recreate, even though plenty have tried (and failed). Should it be remade? No. Will it be remade? Most definitely.

Speaking of that CVX remaster, if you're in the EU (or PAL regions in general) then avoid the PS4 release of the CVX remaster. It runs at 50hz, just like the original PS2 release rather than at the 60hz you get in the NTSC version. Basically, the game runs far slower, feels like your character is running through treacle and makes the cannon puzzle way more trouble than it needs to be. 

On the topic of Alyson Court, you're absolutely bang on. It's a real shame they didn't bring her back for the RE2 remake, but Stephanie Panisello did a decent enough job.

My top contenders per my personal taste would be The Outer Worlds, Dead or Alive 6, and Trails of Cold Steel II, though I would be the first to admit I've missed a lot of indie games.@Inkarnate

The Outer Worlds was decent, still have yet to finish it but so far it's been far better than any of Bethesda's recent offerings. I haven't played much this year, but if I had to say? Fire Emblem: Three Houses would probably be my Game of the Year. Borderlands 3 was better than I was expecting, and I'm disappointed that Ace Combat 7 didn't even get a nomination for Best VR Game - even though to be fair there's only like what, three VR missions in the game? 

Resident Evil 6's biggest problem was it was too ambitious. It took the formula of 5 and expanded upon it and tried to give three fully-realized stories representing three different moods/eras. Unfortunately, it just ended up being a mismanaged, sloppy, and glitch-ridden conceptualization. I like Resident Evil 6, but its a hot mess that is only saved from mediocrity by cooperative play.

Purists never really understood why 6 makes the most sense and you put it down aptly--Resident Evil is a Japanese director misunderstanding cheesy [American] low-budget action movies and grindhouse horror beats. It gives it that folksy "Resident Evil" charm.@Inkarnate

The tricky thing about that game is that as long as you don't view it as an RE game but as fun, stupid Japanese shit with an action movie narrative then you'll have a blast with it (even if all the other RE games are fun, stupid Japanese shit too). Definitely more enjoyable as a co-op experience though, namely because the AI isn't the best from my own experience. For the past decade or so, RE has been in something of an identity crisis - does it want to be action, or horror? Or both? RE6 is just a fun, silly adventure. I always viewed RE6 as the embodiment of something designed by committee rather than a singular vision. Like you said it was far too ambitious. RE works best when it's small scale and self-contained, like say in a spooky mansion in the woods. 

Now if you really wanted to play a bad RE game, look at Survivor or Umbrella Corps. 

Fucking Umbrella Corps.
