The stars are aligning with Resident Evil Veronica officially receiving a remake, making a remake of Resident Evil 5 seem more inevitable than ever. It’s only natural for Resident Evil 5 to follow the Resident Evil 4 remake, which finally provided fans with a modern iteration of the iconic Resident Evil villain Albert Wesker. However, releasing Resident Evil Veronica first offers much-needed exposition and backstory on the rivalry between Wesker and Chris Redfield.
Regardless, Resident Evil 5 might be one of the first Resident Evil games that doesn’t necessarily need or deserve a remaster or remake. The co-op gameplay of Resident Evil 5 could pose challenges in a remake, and Capcom remaking it as a purely single-player game would likely spark controversy. Nevertheless, as it is bound to be remade eventually, fans are already contemplating how a remaster or remake could take shape, assessing it through the uncanny valley lens of NVIDIA DLSS 5.
User blackheart909 on YouTube has created a series of videos showcasing how certain horror games appear when enhanced with DLSS 5. One of their latest videos explores the visuals of Resident Evil 5, with many fans believing it upgrades the nearly 20-year-old game—it will likely reach its 20th anniversary by the time we see an official remake, ironically—making it look like a genuine remaster or remake.
Notably, this YouTube video enhances visuals further with high-end texture mods, indicating that there is more at play here than just the AI-driven effects of DLSS 5.
DLSS 5 is highly divisive, and depending on how vocal or significant the majority becomes, it will be interesting to see if the future application of this unique upscaling feature is influenced in any way. For instance, the response to how Resident Evil Requiem‘s Grace appeared in DLSS 5 was understandably quite negative.
However, according to comments in the YouTube video’s section, many fans would love to see not only a Resident Evil 5 remaster/remake but one that achieves the specific look that only a combination of DLSS 5 and a 4K texture pack can provide at this time. Resident Evil 5 must wait its turn, though, as there are also rumored remakes in progress for Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0, making it difficult to predict the order in which all these potential remakes will be released.
