Capcom Asks Resident Evil Fans If They Want More Remakes In New Survey

Capcom’s reimagining of Resident Evil 3 has only been out a couple of days now, but the company already wants to know if fans want more remakes in its vein. A new survey aimed at the Asian market that ends May 31 includes two relevant questions:

While it’s not necessarily clear which Resident Evil game Capcom would remake next, there are two likely candidates. 2000’s Code: Veronica continues the story of sibling protagonists Claire and Chris Redfield, and is generally considered the true sequel to Resident Evil 2. Though 2005’s Resident Evil 4 stars Leon, another character from RE2, it took the series in a completely different direction, away from the evil Umbrella Corporation.

Though both games have received HD re-releases over the years, the remakes of 2 and 3 draw heavy inspiration in their style and control schemes from RE4.

Every Canceled Netflix TV Show In 2020

Every year, the list of shows Netflix cancels gets longer. Given how they keep creating more and more programming, though, that’s to be expected. Still, you might be surprised by some of the TV shows the streaming service has already cut short. From an interesting musical concept to some truly creepy horror entries, it’s not as if Netflix is targeting a single general to get axed.

Still, there are success stories from Netflix’s originals. Reality shows The Circle and Love is Blind were both recently renewed for two seasons each, meaning they’ll be around for quite a while. For every show the streamer brings back, though, there are more left in the dust.

Take a look at what Netflix has canceled so far in 2020 below. Then, take a look at everything the streaming service brought to an end in 2018 and 2019. Chances are you loved some of these shows, whether they were ended prematurely or not. That said, given the vast library of content Netflix continues to build, it’s also likely there are some titles here you’ve never heard of.
