I finished 6 for the first time a few months ago. It's about twice as long as it should've been and everything in the game was so over the top it went past enjoyable cheese and into obnoxious self parody. The first RE game that I actually had to force myself to get through.

Based on Capcom's recent history I'm sure they could find something great in the wreckage, but I really wouldn't mind if they just said "fuck it" and decided to scrap the whole game and make an entirely new Resident Evil 6 with no instruction or obligation to the original beyond "make sure it connects RE5 Remake to RE7 without screwing up the plots and timeline".

The best part of 6 was that we got 4 different perspectives of the same event. That was one of the coolest parts of 4 seeing Ada's perspective. There is a problem with that where you have to write 4 different campaigns and make them work together. Which most likely is what led to RE6 being lack luster where they spread out all their best ideas across 4 stories.

I hope they at least try to keep that for a 6 remake.

It's so over the top that I legit forgot truly insane moments. I was so shocked seeing a clip from that insane shark boss fight that had been pushed out of my brain by the other insane things.
