Without casting aspersions on RE5 & RE6, this isn’t all that surprising for two reasons:
They don’t really need remakes. We are entering the HD era of games here, and RE5 was not an early entrant of that era like some of the similar remakes we are seeing, like Dead Rising and Oblivion. They have been porting them to recent consoles, they have modern control schemes and are very accessible. You COULD remake them, but you wouldn’t be achieving much.
They don’t appeal to the audience that modern Resident Evil has been cultivating. They lean far too hard into action, and modern RE has been defined by incorporating both. They have nailed this almost every time, releasing a near flawless string of new entries and remakes that their entire audience can consume and enjoy.
I’m biased because they are my two least favourite entries by far, but even trying to set this aside this gels with what I’m seeing from Capcom. Especially with the announcement of CVX, a game that I would never have expected them to remake. If that does well and keeping this in mind, you should expect REmake 2, RE0 Remake and RE10 before getting your hopes up on 5 & 6.
