I hope there will be something akin to the lisa trevor questline in this,I felt that she was emphatic character while also being terrifying!

That looks amazing, but i do have an issue with him shooting the zombie in the head and having the zombie still moving. Headshots should be a 1 hit kill, every time. That's pretty much zombie 101 right there.

Again, it's just a nit pick, and i think it looks amazing.

nix · 15-06-2018 1:56pm

I can see these invincible zombies becoming just mega annoying after a corridor or two, headshots at the very least should kill them

If you take their head and arms off, can they do damage to you?

Ten of Swords · 15-06-2018 4:11pm

Are there any visuals of William Birkin or the Tyrant yet?

Yoshiaki Hirabayashi (producer) has confirmed Hunk and Tofu will be in the remake.

Anyone recommend Resi Revelations? I see episode 1 of RR 2 is free so must give it a go to see how it plays.

I hope they put in a few extra sections similar to when they remade one on the game cube originally. I had no idea they were in it and it was an added bonus that puzzles, door etc had been changed.

I'm about 80% sure I read somewhere that they were going to tweak a few things to keep it fresh for experienced players. But then, I've read so many previews for different games over the past week, I could be imagining that.

Vicxas · 16-06-2018 1:20pm

God this looks so good, i loved RE2, and ill even try and play this even though i'm a habitual coward...

Doctor Nick · 16-06-2018 1:32pm

I really don't want any spoilers so am trying to avoid watching any videos after the reveal trailers. Is it correct that the fixed camera is gone?

I honestly don't know how I missed Resident Evil back in the day. Horror has always been my favourite genre. Silent Hill 1-3 were my favourite games back then and also loved Project Zero series and Alone in the Dark. Yet I knew nothing about Resident Evil back then. The first one I played was 5 which was an action game (which I did enjoy but on a different level). So when I played 1 HD for the first time last year I was blown away with how good it was. Played 7 in VR and it was one of the most intense gaming experiences I've ever had. Might play through it again soon. I've been watching for information on 2 ever since I finished 1 and knew a remake of 2 was in the pipeline. Cannot wait for it!

Silent Hill 2 is easily in the top 3 of greatest story driven video games of all time. Absolutely brilliant I still play it perhaps once a year.

Good think Konami didn't do something like lose the source code or something silly like that.....

CastorTroy · 17-06-2018 4:39pm

Going by the amount of damage the zombies can take, it looks like we need Isaac Clarke and his plasma cutter.

Just played the Gamecube version this year, which was my first time playing the game. Played Claire/Leon with the intention of playing Leon/Claire on the remake. Wonder if they'll still have that setup and will they fix the thing that did kind of annoy me in a made no sense kinda way -

The stories are supposed to be overlapping yet Leon was having to complete puzzles Claire already completed

Gunmonkey · 18-06-2018 12:06am

Watched a few gameplay previews, there was a ton to find in that demo. There does seem to be new areas (stairs from 1F to 2F on West side has another stairs leading to a 3F which 99% sure wasnt in the original.

Also some other gameplay mechanics new to the game:

Gunpowder from RE3 looks to be back (mix A+A for handgun ammo etc)

boards you can nail up over external windows to stop zombies smashing in

hip pouches to increase inventory space (yes I know there was one in the original)

knife has a durability bar

a portable safe that goes in your inventory with a small puzzle on the front, no recorder opened it so far as I have seen

Ten of Swords · 18-06-2018 12:38am

Kind of disappointed about the

gunpowder

A RE3 mechanic that I never liked, I get what they were trying to do with it but I found it didn't add much to the game. I guess if it's in the game there must be a

reloading tool

somewhere, either one you carry with you or one you can use in predetermined locations?

I liked the enhanced ammo part of the mechanic. It gave you a reason to keep using the standard pistol and shotgun instead of sticking with the superior ones you got for beating Nemesis.

I don't claim to be great at math, but Is the Revelations bundle more expensive than getting them separately?

I don't know what way revelations 2 works between season pass and deluxe, doesn't make sense to me.

The game will have a panel/presentation at SDCC.

On the San Diego Comic-con official website, it’s been confirmed that Capcom will showcase Resident Evil 2 Remake on July 20th. During the panel, producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi and other team members will detail how they are re-inventing the classic game and reveal a few surprises as well.

Deluxe edition is $79 so the extra $120 goes towards an item box, a 12" statue of Leon and PDF artbook and blueprints of the RPD building?

@ Capcom

24-07-2018 10:49pm

Why would you want a statue of Leon at all

verycool · 24-07-2018 10:52pm

Just more tatt, like those sh*te Funko POP yokes.

But saying that I'm definitely picking up the standard edition when it comes out.

Even the standard pre-order is overpriced, but hey, I got it anyway, because who needs money? :mad:

Haven't paid 70 squids for a game since... Forever, come to think of it. The last non-digital / full-price purchase I ever made from a store was RE4 funnily enough. Anyway, looking forward to this (even if RE2 isn't my favourite of the classics). I have faith Capcom will do their usual shhtick by pumping it full of bonus-game content. They kinda have to given how the whole HUNK intro and Tofu shindig went down back then. RE2-Remake mercenaries would be delish.

€70? Where you paying that for it and why? I preordered for €55 and that offer is still available on Smyths I think. Still pricy enough for a remaster but it looks to be a lot more than a spit and polish so I think it will be worth it. I'm really looking forward to it as never played it before.

There's a fantastic HD remake of the first one. You'd probably pick it up cheap enough now too. Worth playing even if it isn't necessary to play before this one.

I'm quite jealous of you! Would love to experience the insanity of the series from the start all over again.

As someone else mentioned you don't need to play any of the other games. But I'd recommend trying them out.

Just to warn you to steer clear of any comments / threads like this that might chat about certain plot points of the original.

Yeah play the HD remake atleast, they will refer to it in RE2 a few times, its not that long and this aint out until next year.

There are two playable characters in RE2, one of them is related to one of the playable characters in the first game.

Wow, Birkin looks amazing in those shots. I hope his other mutations look as good, the original RE2 had 4 versions of him.

Not sure what they've done to Chief Irons though, he looks quite different in this new version. The below image may not be very clear but higher res versions of this image show him to be really old.

This looks to me like one of those times where you knew what was going to animate in a Warner Brothers cartoon from what was a bit "off shade" in the scene.

The characters aren't lit well at all here! And it looks to me like the proportions are all wrong. Very strange all right.

Mr Crispy · 21-08-2018 8:40pm

Think the full version looks grand. Just car headlights shining through the metal shutter for the lighting, and his arms are swinging as he walks (if that's what you meant about the proportion?).

Ten of Swords · 22-08-2018 2:21pm

I don't think he's swinging his arms, if you look at the blown up image you can see he's holding a (badly angled) revolver on Claire. I know the lighting has been altered in the image but I'm talking about how the character is being presented, the original Chief Irons looked badass and properly evil, this guy looks like he's about to yell at Claire to get off his lawn or something!

I'm sure Capcom have done their best work on this project, just commenting on first impressions is all

Holy crap, ZomBirkin is amazing.

Looks like instead of the taser / blade, there's now a flash grenade as a get-out-of-danger mechanic.

Yeah, but I think his left arm is behind him, hence looking shorter. As for his general appearance, it's definitely a different look. Maybe they don't want first time players

to be suspicious of his corruption/general scum-baggery?
