Capcom, Please Do Not Screw Up Resident Evil 2 Remake

ThisGenGaming says "Resident Evil 2 was one of the greatest games of its generation, and for many it’s the best game in the Resident Evil series. After the original Resident Evil was given the remake treatment in 2002, many was waiting in anticipation for Resident Evil 2 to get the same treatment, but discussions of the remake were always shot down by Capcom. It looked like Resident Evil 2 would never be remade. That was until there was a spike in popularity in classic Resident Evil games, Resident Evil HD on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 sold well over expectations and broke certain sales records."

This is one game Capcom CANT screw up.

I believe Capcom can make one hell of a Resident Evil game again. They just need to stop catering to the Call Of Duty crowd and start focusing on their old school fanbase.

[mikeslemonade]

I'd probably get mad if they did a "FFVII remake" on this. If they made RE2 3rd person over the shoulder, I'd boycott I will not pay money for any future Capcom game.

It's classic camera or bust for me.

[DarkOcelet]

Um, FFVII Remake looks pretty damn good in my opinion.

Its the 'Episodic Parts' that just doesn't sit well with me.

[-Foxtrot]

Pretty much

All they have to do is do what they did with the Resident Evil Remake

Keep it roughly the same in terms of style but add more to the backstory and add extra rooms/locations.

Also add some Resident Evil 3 moments in the background which show us how the two games link in to each other a bit. Maybe like hearing Jill and Carlos in the background.

If they turn it into something like RE6 with all the melee attacks and jumping/rolling around the no buy

[mikeslemonade]

Well if they wanna change it up then they should make the next iteration instead of screwing around with the oldschool RE fans. They're just trying to milk us by hoping that we are happy with the final result and then also trying to rake in the new-age RE fans.

Well sorry, I'm not gonna fall for your lame attempt to try to milk.

[TimelessDbz]

I like the roll and melee more then then the gun gameplay. Also like the QTE button action makes it more epic.

[mikeslemonade]

Well RE4 is good. Just that we're giving capcom too much credit if we trust them to make another good third person shooter. Just stick to the old forumla and update the graphics.

[TimelessDbz]

@Rhezin reported and you really should not force your own opinion on someone else. I disagree with what you're looking for in the series but you don't see me telling you to shut up.

I encourage you to voice your opinion but at least be civil about others opinion .

[Bimkoblerutso]

Oh, they can DEFINITELY screw it up. The problem is that gamers will still buy it regardless.

This is currently an industry in which "screwing up" often translates to a greater profit for pubs.

[ApocalypseShadow]

I second that notion that they can't screw this up. The problem they have on the last sequels is capturing that sense of despair. That smell of death. The look of death. The apocalypse.

This is morbid and despair. The feeling of being out numbered and out gunned.emptiness.

Even dead nation, an overhead shooter, somehow captured the essence of RE2.

It's too bad the division is not a horror game. It definitely has that apocalypse look to it

Less action, more survival, morbid with the sound to back it up. RE2 was the best. And two discs gave you more gameplay. It was awesome.I remember playing with my brother over the phone and both of us getting to the ending almost at the same time by minutes. That was so cool swapping end saves.

It's also too bad Rock Star never made a zombie mode for GTA. And not the hacks on PC. So much potential there.

Come on Capcom. Don't let us down.

[Feriku]

I hope it plays like REmake.

Futile Concern Articles....Resi 2 Remake'll be fine /

@Tankbusta40

C'mon you know what I meant...obviously it's not a PS1 direct port, hence why I stated 'Visual Upgrade'?

Semantics /

[Tankbusta40]

You need to check your sources, it's being made from the ground up. They couldn't graphically enhance a ps1 game. The reasons they did One and 0 with graphical enhancements is because those versions were released on GameCube.

They can certainly screw this up if they aren't careful

Edit:he posted the same thing twice then changed this post... I was replying to his double post you can find it below

[FoxyGotGame]

These remakes are mostly visual upgrades with no change to the game mechanic/gameplay...

Not sure how they can mess up Resident Evil 2 Remake? ...Not as if it will receive a graphical downgrade being a PS1 game /

[DarkOcelet]

I highly doubt they will keep the Tank controls in this game.

They will most likely go with RE4 Camera style.

[FoxyGotGame]

"I Highly Doubt"

Well I'm basing my comment on Resident Evil & Resident Evil Zero Remake on PS4/X1. They have both retained Tank Controls.

What exactly are you basing your comment on? Wishful thinking, speculation? Hmmm...

[DarkOcelet]

They retained Tank Controls because they are simply just a Remasters.

This is a Remake build from scratch. If you think it will not be modernized then you will be disappointed.

Believe me, i want tank controls as much as you but i don't think it will happen.

[FoxyGotGame]

I'm not fussy regarding the old controls or modernized, I was merely making a point that Capcom already have a great blueprint to work from..but unfortunately we have users like TankBuster ready to pounce on any comment to call someone out...

No Harm Done... he's ignored now. Nice communicating with you )

[ironcrow2386]

When re1 released in for the ps1 it was great but when it was remade for the gamecube (which became REmaster) it was incredible therefore I can only assume the same will happen with re2

[ApocalypseShadow]

Re remake was incredible. The first time I saw that compared to the first time I played RE1 on PlayStation was unbelievable. I thought more games would attempt that look but never happened.

I was hoping Fear Effect would have been remade with Hana,Glas and Deke. They did a pretty good job with RE design and anime put together. Remember that game?

[ironcrow2386]

I think I probably remember the reputation more so (playing as a lesbian assassin blah blah blah) i did play it somewhat but couldn't get particularly far :/

[nunley33]

I loved Fear Effect 1 & 2 and still have the PS1 discs and guides. Fear Effect Inferno was being made by the dev Kronos for PS2 but they went under when SE decided not to publish it. SE may have it's rights but i'd love to see another Fear Effect game. Parasite Eve 2 was pretty good also back then for a RE style game too but the original was more RPG which i liked alot.

[StormLegend]

Most will hate this, but I hope it plays like Resident Evil 4, but has zombies like Resident evil 2, 3 and 1.

[ZeekQuattro]

Sounds good to me. RE 2 & 4 are my favorite entries in the series.

[Maxor]

OMG please stop murdering the Resident Evil franchise with all these remake.

Do a AAA Monster Hunter or Dragon Dogma sequel. Those games are pure gold with winning modern mechanics. Resident Evil 2 gameplay is not only outdated but the mechanics have been rehashed to death.

[Thisgengaming]

They haven't made a remake of a Resident Evil game in 14 years. The last remake was the original in 2002.

Remasters are different from remakes. This will be built from the ground up and would be like a new game.

[RosweeSon]

This is the one that most deserves a full remake tho it hasn't been touched again since it was originally launched on ps1 minus a port for dreamcast and N64 and such but resi 1 had directors cut, remake, deadly silence? On DS. Bought time they brought number 2 back great game.

[Rhezin]

How have the mechanics been rehashed? Anything after Resident Evil 0 is a pure rehash, with that crap QTE and over the shoulder shooting. And how is it "murdering the Resident Evil franchise?" These remakes are the only good Resident Evil's along with 2 and 3. The series has been DEAD for awhile, dammit!

[PaleMoonDeath]

None of the "Resi Evil Chronicles" BS and I'll be fine.. or just do REmake part 2, that made everyone happy.

[Tzuno]

In moderns times at least they should add a objective indicator, i skipped 0 and 1 hd remakes because i am lost and don't know what to do and i don't want to look on you tube, call me stupid but these days my time for gaming is limited.
