With the undoubted success of all of Capcom’s REmakes, especially the recent Resident Evil 4, the time has now come for the team to reflect upon the impact these games have had both for Biohazard and for the wider industry.

In the spotlight for this podcast are not only the RE Engine remakes, but also the original and arguably still the bar to beat – 2002 REmake. The aim here is to discuss in some detail how these remakes came to be and the legacy they now leave, whilst highlighting the bits they did better that their original counterpart.

In hindsight does REmake 2 stick out with its more re-imagined approach to the lore compared to the other titles, did REmake 3 leave too much on the cutting room floor and is REmake 4 the final straw or are more remakes inevitable?

Helping us breakdown and reflect on these questions are you guys -through a series of polls conducted by STARS TyranT on Twitter/X. The results are….surprising to say the least but offer a fascinating insight into how parts of the communuty are feeling.

Finally we end with a remake themed quiz where the questions only have 2 answers. What could possibly go wrong?

Please enjoy our final say on the REmakes (at least until Code: Veronica is announced!)

Perhaps one of the most anticipated DLC in quite some time, Separate Ways is out now and the REP Team are bringing you their review of Ada’s quest in Southern Europe.

The original side quest for the base game certainly added some much needed context to the Plaga and specifically Wesker’s involvement – can the revised version pull the same trick whilst applying the bells and whistles of the RE Engine?

With emotions running high at REP over REmake 4 itself, will Neptune have a more enjoyable time, will BatMan continue to applaud the changes from Capcom, has Rombie burnt himself out on the game attempting his Platinum run and will this be the straw that breaks STARS TyranT’s back?

So, strap yourselves in, activate your IRIS and get ready for the last tango in spain for Luis. Our Separate Ways review starts now!

Episode 89 of REP is out now on all good podcast apps – our review of Resident Evil Death Island.
The latest in what is now a long line of CGI productions, Death Island was perhaps the most anticipated with the return of not only fan favourite Jill Valentine, but also the first on screen appearance of the four main cast together.

On paper therefore, Death Island is ticking a lot of boxes, but how was this film received by the team – can it break free from the usual constraints of these films to tell an important but also enjoyable tale – and can it be done when so many of the on-screen characters are wearing very thick plot armour?

Join STARS TyranT, Rombie, Neptune and returning special guest CVXFreak as we lift the lid on The Rock, we mean Death Island!
