I liked RE2 remake a lot, but the original RE2 will always be my all-time favorite and I think RE2 1998 is still better than RE2 2019.
I can see why everyone was fawning over it when it came out, since it was a lot better than either RE6 or RE7 and didn't totally fuck it up like the RE3 remake did.
The RE3 remake would've worked better if it had just been kept as the rumored single-player DLC for RE2 remake that was meant to be just a "Spark Notes" retelling of RE3 like the Chronicles games were for the classic games. Then you could do a more proper remake of RE3 later down the line and do the same for Code Veronica if you wanted to keep the remake trend going.
RE4 doesn't need to be remade at all, especially since it's basically just Capcom's equivalent of Skyrim or GTA V where it's available on multiple platforms and always ported to the most current ones.
