Opening this feature with a quote from Reddit user Super_Imagination_90, on a thread discussing the viability of a Resident Evil 6 remake: “the problem with remakes is it still has to be that game. It still has to be RE6”.
Looking at Resident Evil’s most divisive entry in isolation, ignoring the developer’s recent home run with the RE2 remake and new games in its storied survival horror franchise you’d have to agree with Super_Imagination_90. Resident Evil shouldn’t be remade. Its convoluted story blighted by bloated campaigns, it’s finicky cover system underlined by subpar gunplay (a travesty considering RE6’s identity shifting to full-on action shooter), and its over-reliance on QTEs make it one of the most …
Atletico Madrid defender Miranda denied his team carry any residual pain from last year s UEFA Champions League final, ahead of Tuesday s clash with Real Madrid.
Miranda and Co. were on track to win the 2013-14 Champions League title when they led 1-0 in second-half stoppage time in Lisbon in May, but a late header from Real defender Sergio Ramos forced extra time, before goals to Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo secured a 4-1 victory for Carlo Ancelotti s men.
Atletico have not lost to their archrivals since, however, winning four of six meetings this season in the UEFA Super Cup, La Liga and Copa del Rey.
Ahead of the two Madrid clubs meeting in a Champions League quarter-final first leg, Miranda is focused on continuing that run.

Didier Deschamps believes Jose Mourinho could be tempted to join a French team at some stage in the future.
Having won domestic titles in England, Italy and Spain already in his coaching career, Manchester United s Portuguese manager has recently been linked with big-spending Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ligue 1 side have the financial muscle to tempt Mourinho, but current PSG boss Unai Emery has yet to taste defeat this season and has already steered the club through to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
France national team boss Deschamps told a media conference: I know you talk about a lot of things in England. If Jose Mourinho wants to come, why not?
I think he is pretty happy at Manchester United at the moment. He used to visit a lot of co…
Borussia Dortmund threw away a two-goal lead as a difficult week for the Bundesliga leaders culminated in a dramatic 2-2 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Peter Bosz s injury-hit side suffered a first defeat of their campaign against RB Leipzig in their most recent league outing, before drawing 1-1 with Champions League minnows APOEL last time out.
But goals from Nuri Sahin and Maximilian Philipp on Saturday looked set to assuage Dortmund s woes, only for Frankfurt to rally and forge a remarkable comeback, leaving the visitors just one point clear of Leipzig and three ahead of Bayern Munich, who play later in the day.
Bosz s insistence on playing a high-line backfired when goalkeeper Roman Burki – who signed a new contract at Dortmund on Friday despite making a…

Francesco Totti bemoaned Italy s absence at the upcoming World Cup, describing the upcoming tournament in Qatar as like going to Rome without seeing the Colosseum .
A shock play-off defeat to North Macedonia knocked the reigning European champions out of the running to qualify for international football s premier competition, the second consecutive World Cup they have failed to reach.

For us Italians it is a negative thing, but these are things that happen in football. It will always be a World Cup,…
Russia coach Dick Advocaat has lamented his side s elimination from Euro 2012 after they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Greece on Saturday.
The Russians, semi-finalists in 2008, began the day in top spot in Group A, only needing a draw against the Euro 2004 winners to advance to the last eight.
However, they were lethargic at the National Stadium in Warsaw, and were made to pay when Giorgos Karagounis struck in the second minute of added time at the end of the first half to secure progression.
Advocaat, who is set to take the reins at PSV, paid tribute to the Greeks before offering his thoughts on the failed campaign.
We played quite well, pushed forward but the other team defended well. I thought we played really well in the first half, the Dutchman said aft…
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been left out of the Manchester United squad to face Stoke City amid speculation he could move to Arsenal as part of a deal to bring Alexis Sanchez to Old Trafford.
United are understood to have stolen a march on rivals City in their pursuit of Sanchez owing to a greater willingness to meet the demands of Arsenal and the Chile forward s agent Fernando Felicevich.
Arsenal are reportedly keen on attracting former Borussia Dortmund playmaker Mkhitaryan to Emirates Stadium as part of any agreement, with the Armenia international having come in for criticism from manager Jose Mourinho this season.
Mourinho told a pre-match news conference that Mkhitaryan would probably retain his place from the XI that beat Derby County 2-0 in the third round …

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes VAR is here to stay but feels the Premier League must adapt how it applies the use of technology
City found themselves on the wrong end of a marginal call on review during their 2-2 draw against Tottenham on Saturday.
Gabriel Jesus stoppage-time winner was disallowed after replays showed the ball deflected off team-mate Aymeric Laporte s arm before the Brazilian controlled and thrashed past Hugo Lloris – sparking jubilant celebrations at the Etihad Stadium.
But, as was the case when City were eliminated from the Champions League last season against Spurs, the joy proved short-lived.
During the first half versus Mauricio Pochettino s men this time, Rodri was not awarded a penalty despite replays appearing …
