I don’t see them as replacing the originals, although I guess in a sense they are. It would be one thing if they weren’t as good as the originals, but they’re arguably better. I’ve been a Resident Evil fan since 1996, I thought the original was better than Resident Evil 2 (which was an unpopular opinion at the time), but right now, if you ask me the best game in the series that I’ve played so far? RE2 Remake. Don’t even really have to think about it much.
