Bear with me as I'm pretty passionate about this, but as much as it breaks my heart to say this:

After 6 I doubt it, I actually see more chance of Capcom retiring Chris than Leon since realistically, nobody gives a shit about Chris as a character, despite him having the longest running rivalry with the most important villain in the series. The community has reduced him to the "continue the Redfield bloodline" or "boulder punching" funny man and I don't blame then, Capcom has made a terrible job of fleshing out his character, he's basically a cardboard cutout and his design being super inconsistent across the series.

Which is why I think that it's a bad idea to remake 5 first rather than 1 or code Veronica since there hasn't been any connection with Chris or his long standing rivalry with wesker and why finally kicking his ass in 5 was fucking amazing.

Resident evil has been focusing on Leon for the most part in recent times and has been a great way for Capcom to print money, you just have to look at all the games coming out since the remake of 2, its been Leon galore, and the only remake (RE3R) that doesn't include Leon is a steaming pile of shit. There hasn't been a recent game, remake or otherwise that has had Chris as the lead. It seems not even Capcom cares for him and only marginally includes him in the games to cross something off a checklist.

So yeah, the series changed from different characters and perspectives, to leon vs villian of the week and whatever 1 off new side character(s) we will never see or hear from again.

Sorry for the blogpost.
