Not what I want to hear! It worked great in RE7 and when HDR is done right it makes a big difference. GOW, HZD and Shadow of the Colossus are some great examples of how HDR can make the experience even better. Hopefully Capcom can fix the issue.

Miss_Vixen1921d ago

Capcom still hasn't addressed the HDR issue/implementation with Monster Hunter World, so I doubt they're going to with RE2 unfortunately...

Hdr in RE7 was far from perfect to....

InKnight7s1921d ago

Man RE7 with HDR is amazing and create huge leap to the point that I would never touch the game without HDR.

Gamist2dot01920d ago

I'm actually spoiled by HDR. Fix it Capcom!!!

Hardiman1920d ago

I am too! It impresses me more than 4k if I'm honest but with RE2 being so dark it would really make a difference if done right.

can you turn off HDR in the options menu?

Neonridr1920d ago

good to know. Sounds like I might be doing that until they can fix the HDR in an update.

ButchKween1921d ago

Turn it off. you get deep blacks with it off. On looks grey and washed out. I tried HDR on both ps4 pro n x1 and it's the same across-the-board. turning it off makes it look perfect. I don't think capcom knows how to implement HDR because even in Resident Evil 7 it wasn't that good. it looked better with it off.

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?

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)

Dudeson36d ago (Edited 36d 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?

TheBrainZ67d ago

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

kevco3367d 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.

Neonridr67d ago

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

Babadook767d ago

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

Neonridr66d 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.

__y2jb67d 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.

rippermcrip67d 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.

KyRo67d 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.

FYouDad67d 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.
