Let's do it
PS4 please

Blastoise4222d ago (Edited 4222d ago )

It would be great if done right. But knowing gaming today it would be sold in parts, full of BS DLC and have a tacked on multiplayer mode that nobody asked for

zeeshan4222d ago

You know what? I am done with Capcom. I am so done that I am not even going to bother asking for anything anymore. They can go to whatever Japanese hell they came from with all this RE2 remake. If they really cared, they'd make a true Resident Evil game for us instead of shoving COD-WANNA-BE RE titles. And I am sure that is not where it ends. It is only a matter of time before we all realize that the DLC they'll try to sell us is already on the disk. Yup, I am calling that!

decrypt4221d ago (Edited 4221d ago )

Lol whats the point of a remake when we can still play the original RE2 from 1.5 decades back. No point wasting resources.

Bought the PC version back when it released, no point buying the game again.

princejb1344222d ago

i hope they remake right
i lost so much respect for capcom this gen
the only way for them to get back on track is to remake all successful games they have done in the past
and no i dont mean a hd collection with just upscaling the resolution
i mean a full remake from scratch

Oldman1004221d ago

How to make a money printer:

1)Remake Resident Evil 2 and 3 like they did with the first game.

2)Do an HD remaster of the RE1 remake(with upgraded textures).

3)Package them together in one collection.

4)PROFIT!!

Blacktric4222d ago

Not gonna happen. It's Capcom. They'll either ruin it by making it action oriented or just don't make it at all and focus on Resident Evil 7-8-9-10-11-12-13...

That would be awesome. I hope when they do remake,They add co-op. That would automatically make it a must buy for me.

jony_dols4222d ago

If Capcom were to do it in the same way as they did with the RE1 remake on the Gamecube, then my faith in the Japanese gaming industry would be restored!

DarkBlood4222d ago

like shocker said just no

re2 is my favourite in the series i certainly would not want to see co-op slap on to it, it didnt have it then it doesnt need it now

to do so would dramatically change the story

RivetCityGhoul4222d ago

you have got to be a troll. you just mentioned co-op and resident evil 2 in the same sentence LOL. if thats not flame bait then i don't know what is.

NYC_Gamer4222d ago

@Mika-

Might as well buy RE6 since asking for co- op

Biohazard88604222d ago

SMH add co op you must not be a re fan

Tdmd4222d ago

Since co-op is such an important feature for Resident Evil's new fanbase, Crapcom should implement a gaming mode just for that. Something like mercenaries – some sort of co-op horde mode, without a timer, where you could go through the main campaign stages with a buddy, without story or cutscenes. This way they could really please both ways: the old fanbase would have their story mode unscrewed by forced co-op, and the new fanbase would have their multiplayer fix.

Carl_Shocker4222d ago (Edited 4222d ago )

Or they could just create a new IP for the new RE audience while the old actual RE fans can finally have a good classic RE game again.

Both audiences would then be happy

But thats logical thinking, Capcom dosen't do that sort of stuff

Tdmd4222d ago (Edited 4222d ago )

@Carl

It's almost naive to think of Capcom as ilogical. Resident Evil 5 is the best selling entry in the franchise; It also is the most hated one. What's the lesson here? Brands sells independent of quality. Therefore, to create a whole new ip out of respect for the old fans would not be the logical thing to do, it would be the decent thing instead - and that's what Capcom lacks. Decency, not logic.
And judging from what I saw in those two demo they released, they do need all the brand recognition they can get.
I'm actually hitting the agree button on your commentary even if I know that will probably never happen. They won’t go back to their roots. So, realistically thinking, the least harmful thing they could do is to separate multiplayer co-op from the single player campaign, implementing it in place of the mercenaries mode.

edit: although, on a second thought, that's not me being realistic either.

HarryMasonHerpderp4222d ago

Yeah add co-op! More action! more guns! explosions! a cover system! and some boulders to punch!

......or not >_>

If this gets a remake it needs to be like the remake of the original game on the Gamecube.
That game was amazing!

gta28004222d ago (Edited 4222d ago )

Not one f'n like! you know why!? cause co-op in Resident Evil games sucks! We want a remake because we want the true Survival Horror Resident Evil back. I want to get sweaty palms from playing RE again. I want to get scared by creepy music while I cut a corner in a dark environment. I want my heart to drop for a quick second when something pops out of nowhere. I want to feel hopeless when I'm running out of ammo and get a huge sigh of relief when I find just one f'n ammo clip. I want to run back and fourth in a huge, monster infested building while I try to solve puzzles to finally get the hell out of there. That's the Resident Evil I remember falling in love with. Bring the real Resident Evil back!

Arcanine4222d ago

I hope you are being sarcastic..... becuz you are the kind of individuals we dont want Capcom to listen to.

ritsuka6664222d ago

No shit of co-op, this feature will ruined this classic game.

GrahamGolden4222d ago

Biohazard88604222d ago

Remake would be awesome... but to be honest i see capcom fucking this up.

The prevalence of parrying: Why is it so popular?

Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way.  Why?

phoenixwing27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

Dudeson27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.

New Resident Evil 2 Remake Fixed Camera Mod Adds A Nostalgic Twist

A new mod brings the highly nostalgic fixed angles to the Resident Evil 2 remake, bringing the game closer to the original 1998 experience.

REmake vs. Resident Evil 2: Which Remake Template is Better?

REmake kept the original style adding new flavour and graphics, Resident Evil 2 is a complete modernisation. Which remake style is superior?

TheBrainZ58d ago

The GameCube remake was stunning for its time but the new modernisation efforts are breathing some much-needed life into the older games.

kevco3358d ago

I loved the GC remake back in 2000-whatever. But I tried replaying it recently and just couldn't deal with the door loading sequences.

Have I been spoilt by modern games? Probably.

Neonridr58d ago

tank controls just don't work in this day and age.

Babadook758d ago

I think Tomb Raider still works but RE I'm not sure.

Neonridr57d ago

@Babadook7 - imagine an updated Resident Evil or Tomb Raider with tank controls? you can't walk and turn at the same time. It would be ridiculous to play.

__y2jb58d ago

Both are fantastic but the old style controls and the half way house attempt to modernize them in remake both feel extremely dated now. Taking away your preference for the various settings and characters, the recent remakes are objectively better games.

rippermcrip58d ago

I think anyone voting for REmake is simply doing it out of nostalgia. No way a new young gamer is going to pick that over the new ones. I couldn't even get my son to play the game for more than an hour.

KyRo58d ago

Nope. REmake has a totally different vibe, feel and tension that the newer remakes can't replicate due to the camera angle. Yes the original fixed camera was used for technical reason but at the same time, they created a feeling of dread not knowing what was around the corner. You simply don't get that with a third person camera as great as the third person RE games are.

FYouDad58d ago

Depends what sort of experience you're looking for. If you enjoy the old fixed camera OG style then REmake is to me the pinnacle of the form. Incredible atmosphere, visual style and a fantastic revision of Resident Evil 1 with additions that feel completely seamless. Resident Evil 2 Remake in an excellent update (especially running with the IMO vastly superior original RE2 soundtrack) with the benefits of modern design but I still prefer the original game.. it didn't "overwrite" that experience in my mind the way REmake felt like it became the definitive RE1 experience.
