To be fair, they only remade the first game once, and that was 22 years ago, so a RE-REmake doesn't sound that outrageous. REmake is almost perfect as is, it's my favorite RE, it will never go away and will never be replaced. A remake is welcome but not necessary. I would prefer a remake of Code Veronica.
The real zombie is the RE franchise. It keeps getting up, disfigured from what it was before, changed in ways no one could imagine and all we can do is look at it in horror before trying to avoid it
