RE2 Remake to be the Resident Evil 4 Sequel We've Been Dying For?

"The rumors that are swirling suggest that the Resident Evil 2 remake will be in third person akin to Resident Evil 4 — but with a more ‘stylish’ execution." PlayStation Enthusiast

Hope not Resi 4 was a great game but not a great Resident Evil game, downfall from the classic to action orientated if ya ask me . Now the Remake of 1 nailed it . So if 2 Remake is anything like 1 Remake it will be a classic again. Just remember the classic Resi zombies the slow rotten, scary , real zombies and you can’t go much wrong.

A hardcore RE fan speaking here!
i 100% agree.
RE4 didn't have a single puzzle.. RE2 was full of those.

theshredded2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

That's just wrong. What about the chess puzzle, the tombstone symbols and the statues in the room? There's also lots of missing pieces or levers as well. Stop hatin.

bouzebbal2585d ago

theshredded
come on! you call those puzzles?
there is no exploration in RE4 just running and gunning.

pootymcpoockle2585d ago

100% agree.
I don't want an action game.

TheCommentator2585d ago

RE1 Remake and RE0 are still my two favorites in the series. If they go over the shoulder, Capcom will need to tread lightly on things and not stray too far from the original concepts.

You say slow moving zombies, bouzebbal says remember the puzzles, I say remember the pacing. It needs a slow pace, lots of tension, and a healthy fear of the unexpected too. It also needs to do something new like the RE1 Remake. Those Crimson Heads scared the crap out of me the first time I found one and Lisa was a beast!

wonderfulmonkeyman2587d ago (Edited 2587d ago )

I'd love to see it in the style of RE4.
The weapons and ways you could go about things were just superior in RE4. I get that some people love the classic style, with limited items, ammo preservation being key, and all that jazz, but it just never struck me as being as fun as earning the PRL, charging it up, and watching an entire map's worth of zombies fall to their knees. [along with whatever animals were in the area]
That and I just love the idea of being able to kick a zombie's head off again after stunning them.
That's fun stuff.

notachance2585d ago

It's got "Resident Evil 2 Remake" for the title, if they want to attract Rambo-style zombie games fan they'd call it.. well not that.

wonderfulmonkeyman2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

Okay, then let me put this in a different context, for your consideration...
You don't think the style would change, right? And that the name reflects that?
FFVII remake changed its combat and kept the name.

There's precedence for this sort of change beyond that, too, but I think that proves my point well enough; If Squeenix is able to change it up, I see no reason why Capcom can't do the same to the RE2 Remake.

And I feel it would be a more exciting game because of it. Especially if they increased the number of enemies to compensate for the new abilities.

notachance2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

lol I never talked about the gameplay, I was talking about the theme.

I think FFVIIR despite changing its combat system, will keep their "feel" and "essence" true to the original
and so will RE2R, will keep being a "horror survival" game, not a Rambo game set in a zombie apocalypse a la Dead Rising.

and they make it for the RE2 fans no? not for RE4 fans, so why would they make it into RE4 in RE2 setting?? wait for your turn man, I'm sure if this game succeed there's bound to be RE4R

Hardiman2586d ago

I just want the part 2 remake! Loved part 1&2! Loved the remake for the original and Zero! Part 3 was okay and really enjoyed Code Veronica and part 4. I also loved what RE7 did and just want to play this game so much!!!!!

CrimsonWing692586d ago

So with how well REmake sold they can’t just give us something like that? They’ll need to tweak the zombies then or it’ll be way too easy with over-the-shoulder aiming.

wonderfulmonkeyman2585d ago

Or just add more of them and make them faster.
Or make harder monster-types show up sooner, like Lickers.

CrimsonWing692584d ago

Or just keep it in the vein of REmake and RE 0...

wonderfulmonkeyman2584d ago

I didn't have the chance to play either of those, so can you tell me what you meant?

CrimsonWing692584d ago

Have you played any Resident Evil pre-RE4?

wonderfulmonkeyman2583d ago

I played the original Resident Evil years back, yeah. Might have played a bit of two and some of Zero at some point, but I don't remember enough of them to really count them at this point.

Profchaos2586d ago

Massive resi fan from 1-3 but apart from all the spin off titles that dragged the franchise down resi 4 is probably one of my least favourite in the series unpopular opinion I know it's good but played to much like an action game I would prefer resi 2 stay more true to the source

Ex-Naughty Dog Dev Says Resident Evil 4 Inspired Uncharted and Many More Action Games

Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.

CrimsonWing6938d ago

It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.

CrimsonWing6937d ago

No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.

I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.

InUrFoxHole38d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske38d ago

I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games

italiangamer38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

djl348546d ago

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9247d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil46d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
