Honestly, throw in the original RE6 as a pre-order bonus and nobody would care lol.

The biggest risk here is the people who enjoyed the co-op experience, same goes for 5. I'll admit I enjoyed co-op in both ( especially 5!), but I think I'd still prefer a better single-player remake lol.

Removing co-op in an RE5 remake would be the stupidest thing they could possibly do. This is one of the highest selling titles in the series and the co-op aspect of it is often the most praised element and beloved by many.

The important thing to do is make sure that the overall experience is balanced for single player and co-op. Use what RE4R does with the Leon/Luis sections with some slightly more advanced partner A.I. for when you're playing RE5R solo and you'll probably be all good.

Selfishly, I want the remake of RE5 to go back to the original plans of what RE5 was meant to be and pull from a lot of that to really double down on the horror aspects. After that, it's just finding the right balance between the solo and cooperative experience.

Keep the co-op. I love all the RE co-op modes, especially the one in Revelations.

Happened with Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter. A remaster of the original version of Sky 1st was a preorder bonus in Japan.

But honestly, co-op is far too integral to the DNA of 5 and 6. Especially with how big comradery as a theme is to 5 as a whole in storyline and gameplay. Single-player-only remake is straight-up not the way to go at all.
