Shinji Mikami, the creator of the Resident Evil series and the current boss at Tango Gameworks, in an interview with VG247 was asked on his thoughts about the rumors on a Resident Evil 4 remake.
Mikami said that "fans will most likely want it, and so that’s a good thing."
He wants Capcom to do a great job in remaking Resident Evil 4 and he wants them to make the story better than in the original as he "only had three weeks to write it in."
"It would be great if Capcom could do a great job and make the story better, and put out a good product," he added.
Capcom released the remake of Resident Evil 2 in January 2019 and the remake of Resident Evil 3 in April 2020.
The rumor for a remake of Resident Evil 4 first came about in April 2020 and said it had entered full production at Osaka-based developers M-Two with an estimated release window of 2022. However, a second rumor last year said development on the game is now being led by Capcom’s Consumer Games Development Division 1.

I think they should make the story worse, just cuz.
Just update the damn graphics. The game was never intended to be good story wise, but fun like hell. Even RE games with a good story were not as fun as this one
Leave this game alone and come up with a new one!
ok, but where is the Code Veronica remake?
No, I want AAA graphics and B movie story telling.
Nothing wrong with its story, just give it the RE2 Remake treatment. Thats all it needs.
Stick to the script and add the twist where nemesis parasite is connected to Las plagas.
Paul Mercier as Leon or no buy
I’d love a remake of RE4. But only if it brings in something to replicate the IR aiming from the Wii version. Otherwise, not interested.
Yes please. Make it a love story. Leon and his future baby mama Ada and side pieces Ashley and Ingrid.
No melee combat and no sequences imposing us to protect Ashley. It's all I'm asking for.
here's hoping the story stays silly like the original.
So they are going to remove the president`s daughter?
Having her gruesomely killed and zombified will improve the story especially if they then change the ending so the Spanish guy doesn't die and he runs off wearing a red dress holding hands with Leon much to the chagrin of Ada Wong who is left naked inside a protective barrel.
