Resident Evil (1996) was a perfect game, remains as such, and shall never age because nothing ages good game design and world design, which interact with each other to create not only the survival horror of the game itself but the whole genre.
Since that dynamic has become generic, REmake applies the only thing left unique to the Resident Evil franchise: sci-fi cosmic horror (explored in Resident Evil 2 (1998) and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999)). It's a horror that's scarier to think about than to play through, and I am going to be thinking about REmake for a very long time.
