During today’s episode of Capcom TV, the publisher showcased some new gameplay of the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
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 kept the original style adding new flavour and graphics, Resident Evil 2 is a complete modernisation. Which remake style is superior?
The GameCube remake was stunning for its time but the new modernisation efforts are breathing some much-needed life into the older games.
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.
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.
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.
PS Blog: "Following on from 2024’s inaugural PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup, today we can announce the first additions to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog*.

These and many more titles are playable from January 16."
It's a good overall collection but I can't help but be disappointed in the classics again. 3 of those are on PS4. There's thousands of PS1/PS2 classics to tap into that havent seen the light of day since then but they keep putting games that are already on PS4. Ones even a remake.
I'm starting to realize buying games on sale is worthless. I just bought tiny tina lol. Damn it.
love the outfit - really fits the atmosphere of the game.

God I cannot wait for this game. It looks incredibly polished especially for a 3rd party AAA game today.
So I assume Noir is the guy with the ridiculous hat and Star makeup /s
