Yeah, it’s really hard to say. The only thing we have is leaks for an equally hypothetically RE0 Remake, with people saying, “Well, if they do all the assets for 0, they might as well just do an RE1 Remake.” But I really hope they do, acknowledging of course that RE1 Remake is available DRM-free on GOG, so thankfully that version wouldn’t fall by the wayside.

I agree. It can be a very effective narrative device, and I really enjoy Silent Hill for that reason. I’m pretty okay with tank controls these days, and it’s actually all the other weird RE1 Remake-specific mechanics that drag down the experience for me, like the Crimson Head and locks breaking and the mansion layout and never having enough inventory slots, which for me ends up being more annoying than scary.

I’ll try out Tormented Souls. Thanks for the recommendation! I love Crow Country. That game really perfected the overhead survival horror style, in my opinion, and has so many better mechanics that I wish existed in RE1 remake.
