Adding remake somewhere in the title is a practice that is usually followed by most developers (Capcom themselves did it when they remade the original Resident Evil), so its noteworthy that the same is not being done with this game. And apparently, theres a very good reason for that, too. At E3, Gamingbolt had a chance to speak with Mike Lunn, Brand Manager for Capcom, and he explained why this decision was made.
