Resident Evil 2 (2019) - Blu-ray Forum

Gamma_Winstead · 08-12-2015, 04:20 PM

YESSSSS!!!! I'm so excited right now! Just read it on my lunch break! I hope it's classic angles!

“You’ve been telling us for years that you want Resident Evil 2 to be remade,” said Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabyashi, “and we haven’t been able to make it happen...until now.”

Maybe Capcom took a cue from Square Enix and the response to remaking Final Fantasy VII?

Capcom has been teasing a Resident Evil 2 remake for a few weeks now on their Facebook page, alleging the game was being pitched internally, and fans had to wait to find out how Capcom executives felt about it. (This always seemed like a bunch of bullshit to me—were they really going to say “hey, guys, it’s not happening”? Video game advertising in 2015 is weird.)

“It will be some time before we can bring you an update on this project,” said Hirabyashi.

That’s because this is different than what Capcom is doing with Resident Evil 0, which is an “HD remaster,” not a full-on remake. With this project, they’re going back to the drawing board.

Resident Evil 2 was (and is!) an incredible game, and absolutely deserves a new look. The original Resident Evil remake is the standard bearer for remakes, though, and Shinji Mikami is no longer at Capcom. The development team has their work cut out for them, but I’m psyched!

RE2 was my favorite game growing up

Kurri · 08-12-2015, 05:24 PM

probably my favorite horror game of all time. Only thing is, I hope it is a re-imagined game instead of just some new graphics.

Wonderful. I just hope we get something in the same vein as the previous REmake as opposed to something like 4/5/6. Resident Evil 2 is one of my favourite games and I think the franchise suffered when it emphasised over-the-shoulder combat over genuine scares and atmosphere.

Just give it a year after it's released. By then, Capcom will have released the fifth edition of the title. No sense in buying it on day one.

no over the shoulder view, please!

Excellent news.

I would ask for Konami to do the same for Silent Hill, but you know....

Oh my god I'm so wet right now!

RE2 *****es!

For some reason my brain and eyes kept reading Resident Evil 0. Once it clicked there was significantly less space in my pants.

All I can say is ****ing finally

The remake of Resident Evil 1 was awesome and I hope they will use the same formulation, but ...

RE2 was my favorite game as a kid. I got it day one and I believe it was a double disc. One for each character.

jimidini · 08-12-2015, 11:26 PM

I have doubts.

It's Capcom.
And without Shinji Mikami as director it definitely won't be nearly as awesome as REmake. REmake is simply perfection.

But who knows, maybe they will at least not totally f*** it up.

SethRex · 08-12-2015, 11:58 PM

I WANT it to be over the shoulder. But let's make it like Revelations 2, shall we? Revelations 2 had great tension going in and it never let up. I want them to move forward not backwards, people.

Have you never purchased a Capcom title before? First it's the original release. Then it's a Gold edition with some new DLC. Then it's the Ultimate version with even more DLC. Then it's the Extravagant version including all DLC previous released. Lesson from buying Capcom titles early in their lifespan: don't buy right away.

Welcome to current gen.

There will be no physical release.

Resident Evil 2 I finally bought when it hit the greatest hits version, and it exceeded my expectations for a horror game. While not as scary as Silent Hill 1, it is a great zombie monster game with some great ideas, story and discoveries. The controls were a bit uncomfortable, but that is what increases the tension and horror.

This is a good point. While I can imagine diehard fans will want an exact replica of RE2, why not just play RE2 again on PS1?
So with that in mind, I wouldn't mind a few new surprises while maintaining the overall story, style and spirit that made RE2 great.

I wouldn't mind a choice. Over the shoulder default, and the choice of a classic mode with static cameras to match that of RE2, as well as tank controls or modern directional inputs.
