I'll just leave this here...

We do it People! We have do it!

tok9 · 12-08-2015 6:05pm

I only played Resident Evil 2 all the way through for the first time this year and loved it.

If it gets a similar treatment to remake then I'll definitely pick it up.

Paramite Pie · 12-08-2015 6:20pm

I wonder if they planned this from before the recent HD remake re-release -- using the money from that to remake Resi 2.

It's been years since I've played a Resi game so I certainly look forward to this.:)

Sephiroth_dude · 12-08-2015 6:25pm

Long time before we see it I'd say but good news.

Underground · 12-08-2015 8:50pm

Awesome news.

FF7 remake, fallout 4, doom, and RE2 remake confirmed in one year, the world is finally ending cats and dogs living together mass hysteria.

Although I don't know why there isn't big hype on twitter like there was with doom and fallout 4.

Now all we need is half life 3 (which I think is development but I think it be released whenever they fully complete it or they just continue developing, can never get into the mind of GabeN tbh).

juandrake · 13-08-2015 2:41am

this is a must! i need to play this! I finished resident evil from ps1 up to the latest!

It's nice and all but I'd prefer to see new games from Capcom.

Like the mess that was Res Evil 6, and the more than likely mess that will be Res Evil 7.

And besides this Res Evil 2 remake will be a new game built new from the ground up like the Res Evil remake for the Game Cube was. Fans have been asking Capcom for this for 10 years now.

Zero-Cool · 13-06-2018 7:17am

Well this looks Brilliant! Up for preorder on psn store now for 60. An extra tenner gets you some more weapons and the original soundtrack you can enable instead of the new one.

Is that the 20 minute demo above? I watched it elsewhere for 30 secs and stopped because don't want it ruined for me.
Capcom are killing it.
Hype is real!

Zero-Cool · 13-06-2018 7:53am

Yupp, watched the start and skimmed through, looks way more tense than the original, touches of 7 definitely in there. Hands down day one purchase.

gimli2112 · 13-06-2018 8:14am

I bought RE4 last year and the controls killed it for me. Played it years ago with no issue but I think third person over the shoulder shooters have evolved a lot since, in terms of controls. Could have relearned everything but just didn't bother. That said now I've remembered it I want to play it.

The super shotgun was / is the greatest ever in game weapon.

Rob2D · 13-06-2018 10:26am

One of the shots in one of the trailers I saw has Leon running down a hallway and it is most certainly NOT behind the shoulder.

Maybe there will be some kind of option to switch the camera as a surprise for fans????

Also I think they messed up Claire's face a bit, she looks off. She better still have her shorts on!

daheadonu · 13-06-2018 10:36am

Mr.x having that hat is a little weird to me tbh

Best shotgun in the resident evil series anyway, the upgraded desert eagle was a beast as well.

Wait, is that soundtrack switching part of what you get for the extra tenner, or separate?

Part of the deluxe for the extra 10 which is a bollox. Should be added for cheating the game or something like that.

Mr Crispy · 13-06-2018 12:49pm

Disappointing alright - I loved the original.

I never played a Resident Evil game before. That's about to change.

This remake looks similarly clunky. I think that's part of its mechanics though. If you had complete freedom of movement and control, then it would be too easy. I hope they improve the pathing of the zombies. They don't really interact with doors or objects at all.

daheadonu · 13-06-2018 5:30pm

Thinking about it now,seeing kendo getting killed ia going to be brutal!it was shocking enough to watch back in the day I can only imagine what it will be like in the re engine.

You've missed out on one of the best game series ever, this will be a perfect place to start

Or the HD collection of 1. That was a brilliant remaster. Was my first time playing it and I loved it. Couldn't get into Zero though. This will be my first time playing 2. Looking forward to it

Underground · 13-06-2018 7:26pm

Had a brief look at the gameplay trailer, watched maybe the first three minutes.

My first thought is that it looks gorgeous, the RE engine looks as if it is paying dividends big time. The RPD entrance hall looks amazing.

Was anyone else getting a bit of a whiff of RE6 off it though? Little bit worrying. Hopefully I'm off the mark with that concern.

Skerries · 13-06-2018 9:18pm

don't jinx it!

13-06-2018 9:21pm

Because you can sidestep left and right? Nah not at all. The design, atmosphere and setting are top quality.

RE6 had no atmosphere and lost its identity. That was its main issue. It was like playing call of duty.

nix · 13-06-2018 10:36pm

I don't wanna watch any trailers or gameplay footage, but eh, any sign of them retaining the stupid **** that ruined the franchise from Resi4 on wards? Roundhouse kicking zombies or jumping through windows into a roll/somersault?

Yeah the HD remaster of 1 was really amazing. I loved 1-4 but was also dissapointed with zero, I hated zeros stupid and messy dump items anywhere which led to going back for stuff you left in a different room

No sign of any resi5/6 nonsense. No Chris punching a huge boulder or zombies using guns yet thank god

I think most of that was down to them not being zombies in the later games.

Skerries · 14-06-2018 12:13am

I played Revalations last year and will definitely have a go at the 2nd one at some stage as it is a decent RE game that was made for a handheld device

Sephiroth_dude · 14-06-2018 12:15am

Great trailer in fairness and the game looks amazing, well worth the four year wait I would imagine.

J. Marston · 14-06-2018 12:46am

Jeeeeesus Chriiiiist, it's so gory. NSFW!

Really enjoyed Revelations 2.Some seriously difficult modes in it. Invisible zombies, seriously?

Don't have the link handy but I saw a gif on reddit of the shotgun in action, holy crap it does some damage to the zombies.

Edit, here's the link, NSFW.

Can’t wait for this game, I’ll die a happy man if Resident Evil 3 is remade too

There's a great playthrough up on the capcom twitch page with cvxfreak and carcinogen.

They shot a zombie a good few times in the head and it kept getting up, wtf!

And it got up again when they came back into the room! Later on they shoot off one's head and it still attacks!

Looks like it's gonna be much more like the old hit and run style of combat. You won't be able to just clear the place out.

Eurogamer blasted one's face off with a shotgun AND IT KEPT COMING.

Doesn't look like you can kneecap them, either.

Oh, and THEY WILL FOLLOW YOU THROUGH DOORS.

gimli2112 · 15-06-2018 10:27am

This doesn't sound like resident evil. It sounds more like a nightmare I had about resident evil.

Actually, the arm falling off there was some of the most realistic dismemberment I've seen in a video game :eek:
