Capcom Working on Resident Evil 2 HD. Slated for September 2015 Release Date

While news of a Resident Evil remastered gave us a pleasant surprise, some devoted fans have discovered something much bigger. According to this forum post, Resident Evil 2 HD is also happening and will be released September 2015. One user managed to take a screenshot of the webpage.

[hkgamer]

what would you like this game to be?
prerendered bg?

i would love re4 hookman type gameplay, static camera angles and then aiming goes over the shoulder. this would mean it cant have prerendered bg.

[RashBandicoot]

Honestly if they make it like the Resident Evil 1 GC Remake (which is now getting remastered) I will be 100% satisfied. Maybe add new some new sections similar to the remake as well.

Also give Hunk some love lol.

[Nerdmaster]

We all know they would just raise the backgrounds resolution a little bit and put some more polygons and textures in the 3D models to say that the game is improved.

Game companies forgot was remakes really are and just do "HD remasters", and Capcom only takes the easiest choices.

[Venoxn4g]

I hope they gonna remaster RE: 0 as well and maybe Code Veronica .. or maybe both outbreaks and makes them online again and better loading times ..and I do agree what you said too :)

[MehmetAlperTR]

Actually i dont want HD Remakes. I prefer Resident Evil 1-2-3-4-CV Reborn. Just Like Tomb Raider Reborn. New Game... Not a Crap HD Remakes. If it is truth i prefer to stick with The Evil Within.

[ChrisGTR1]

damn , whats with all these RE remakes, everyone hated RE6 so now they've reverted to milking fans on nostalgia.

id like to add this news story is clearly fake as hell.

[Systemshock2]

RE 3.5 versions should be revived as separate games IMHO, RE2 remake should be like REmake

[fadpoly]

I totally agree with you, RE 3.5 the hooked man footage was very promising, it would have been better then RE4 in my opinion, although RE4 was excellent, I wish they would make it.

also a remaster of both RE outbreak for the ps4/vita would be amazing, we will get the chance to play it online co-op.

[MuhammadJA]

I'm with you! Best thing is to make it a mixture of both types of gameplay. In all honesty, whether its gameplay is modern or classic, I'm happy either way!

[ScubaSteve1]

I wish this was true

[darkvenom]

I call bs.

[DeadlyOreo]

Resident Evil 2 was my favourite Resident Evil. I think this remake will probably happen, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high, it'll take way more time and resources to remake this one than the REmake.

[Systemshock2]

But ROI is there, if Revailtions HD and Racooncity crap can sell million + , i am sure REmake2 will bring in some money

[NovusTerminus]

It is prolly in very early production, with a small crew on it. They will see how Redident Evil REMaster sells, then see if they should finish RE2 or scrap it.

[zsquaresoff]

Bundle Re2 and 3 together.

[demonJAKAL]

I would prefer if they released all of the games as a HD remake collection

[scark92]

I hope it is true!

[joey561]

Pretty sure this is just someone taking a screenshot from the fan made 'Resident Evil 2 Reborn HD' project, from Invader Games:
http://www.invadergames.eu/...

Then just photo-shopping the webpage together...

[RashBandicoot]

Some users also found a listing on Amazon as well. Seems weird.

[sho0ok]

Master Chief collection says hi capcom.

[MuhammadJA]

Yup! Hintity Hint Hint! XD

[sho0ok]

Yup u get it :)

[Deadpool616]

Capcom might as well HD Remake all their good games. They certainly aren't making any gems recently. It's actually a smart move to do something like this considering the financial condition that they are currently in.

[RashBandicoot]

You're probably right, sadly. I don't see Capcom being able to produce a good new game anytime soon. Remakes are safe but it will also hurt their image (which is already damaged) in the long run.

[Meltic]

Same month dead Rising 3 is heading for pc. September crazy month for zombies and playing Destiny. Keeps me happy until oct/november

[gantarat]

2015 not 2014

[wheresmymonkey]

This is obviously horseshit. Just look at that image. The 2 isn't even in the same font. It would also have been far more believeable if they'd found a page linking to Biohazard 2 HD. Japan usually gets informed about capcom's latest efforts first.

[nucky64]

agreed - can't find any info for it on amazon (as article claimed) either.

[hunnybunny66]

It was found by several users on the Capcom forum before Amazon removed it.
Go look on the Capcom-Unity forum :)

[Melankolis]

Remakes of 1&2 is a not-so-bad news. But i need RE:Zero more than the others cause i (and most of the PS & Xbox users) never had a Gamecube...

[LightDiego]

Capcom, please look at Master Chief collection, Sly collection, Ratchet & Clank trilogy, Jak and Daxter collection, Ico and SotC, Metal Gear collection and goes on.

[Sadist3]

Warned you fools that are excited for these remakes. Now that's all these companies are doing. We purchased new game systems just to play old games. They're not concentrating on new IP's, just remakes and indies that look like Nintendo games. Why the hell did we spend $400 for our PS4's when we might as well just kept our Pas3's

[equal_youth]

resident evil 2 was the greatest game in the series and will if this is made good once again set new standards for the genre. and as said before they will hopefully learn what they did from for the last three Resident evils.

[Muzikguy]

Warned who? I don't think Capcom is capable of making good games anymore tbh unless you think otherwise. I never had a Gamcube and never had the chance to place the RE remake from 2002. I'll definitely get the next one. I'm also looking forward to this game if it's true, and hoping they remake RE3.

There are plenty of new IPs coming out. Also, knowing about Plus, I didn't get rid of my PS3 when getting my PS4. I've got tons of games now because of it

[Revengeance]

Don't know about you but 2015 is filled with brand new games I'm looking forward to. I purchased a PS4 to play great experiences regardless if it's new or old, indie or AAA. I think you need to take another look at the list before you keep saying that. Just sayin'.

[equal_youth]

if this really happens they have to do it right and not some 1:1 hd upscale sh*t. they should go all the way with all new assets and a complete new engine.

[bigboss1990]

That PIC looks like a fan made resi2 game off YouTube to me ummm don't think that's genuine knowing capcom they will screw this up again. Really hope this is for real and not bullshit cash grab :/

[Gooch_suplex_Hold]

Here's to hoping that they Remake Dino Crisis.

[Muzikguy]

I hope they remake RE3 also! Man, I loved that game!

@Gooch Dino Crisis would be sweet too

[PSWiiKing]

Please, for the love of god Capcom. Release Resident Evil 2 HD for The Wii U.

[Bubbamilk]

Exclusive to wii u would make it a contender this gen. But all I've wanted since the 2002 remake is this. I will buy any console for it I don't even care.

The way Nintendo has been lately tho if there is any demand It wouldn't surprise me if they pay for development and remake it exclusively for wii u. With the current state of capcom they wouldn't purchase the company. But they would pay for development they have proven that.

And considering the remake of the first on gc did really well it is a possibility. I'm with u the wii u is more than capable of pulling off a beautiful RE2. And I would trust it more with Nintendo funding it because they obviously have higher standards and more funds than capcom.

Either way I just hope this is true

[PSWiiKing]

Full disclosure: It was Resident Evil 2 that introduced me to The Resident Evil Franchise.

[ceballos77mx]

Onimusha next please!!

[equal_youth]

this! :D

[Flames76]

No thanks i dont like the old resident evil games.There is a reason RE5 was the highest selling one on the series.The coo[ was amazing and RE6 was great also.

[horndog]

I hope this is true. I hope it's a complete remake just like the first for gamecube.

[Gatsu]

If this is true, I would be so happy. There isn't many survival horror games these days, but a remake of RE2 would blow my mind, like they did with RE1. I think I've played RE2 most of the series, it just got so memorable things like William, Mr. X or whatever the name was, licker and the whole setting in the police station.

"That guy's a maniac! Why'd he bite me!?"

[t-hall785]

Geez this is getting worse than hollywood. How about a new IP?

[Vanfernal]

Oh please. That pic is straight from this video (check around the 0:45 mark) .

[hunnybunny66]

The thing was a hoax. Looks like the same guy who did the "Fallout 4 memo" crap a few months ago
