Some Fans Aren't Feeling Resident Evil 2's Remake Faces

Capcom is remaking Resident Evil 2. Originally released on the PlayStation in 1998, the remake will feature new character models. Meaning? Of course, the characters are going to look slightly different. Some fans are feeling the new designs, while others are not.

[naruga]

I said it from the start ..the damn faces look ugly and weird (more people are complaining ) and i dont understand the reason Capcom keep doing this...Chris was ugly as f in RE7 and the anime movie ....and now the same happens with Leon and Claire... WTF Capcom ???

[TeamIcoFan]

They look fine, calm your tits.
Both of these characters are American, so naturally it'd make sense to make them look the part.

[ps3rider]

Agree 100%

[bumsick]

On the fence 300%

[GamesMaster1982]

But m8 it’s a video game and even you can’t deny that even Claire looks 100 times better here than Revalations 2 model ? . They look fine too me and zombies, yes real bastard zombies for a change look better than ever . Fed up of all the fake mutant zombie crap, real zombies are the bread and butter of scary . If any thing the crosshair is too big I say , should of been a little red dot , and that is my only minor thing about it all .

[kreate]

Its becuz this game is low budget. Capcom could of done so much better.

[GamesMaster1982]

Yeah low budget , come on pal really . It was one of capcoms biggest game franchise of all time . And by looks budget has not been an issue . Look some folks grew up with the action 4 5,6 Resi games. I grew from the first , still one of my faves. This game here is a thank you too all fans , and a enjoy a real survival horror game to new fans.

[CrimsonWing69]

Are you kidding me!? Low budget, where did you pull that out from?

[kreate]

@gamesmaster

Well we'll see about that. Its a day one buy for me becuz I loved RE2 and RE3. But this remake trailer did not impress me at all.

[naruga]

@ kreate ...i though the same exact thing..seems very cheapy and quick made

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Most people look ugly.

[Tito08]

Not for nothing, but I stopped being a Capcom fan because of pretty much other Capcom fans/fanboys. There are far more important issues in the gaming industry that all y'all want to worry about is simply the character faces. Seriously, that's ridiculous. Y'all got more worried about Chun-Li & Dante's faces in MVCi than the stupid entire game which became a major flop. Onimusha 2 featured a not good looking main character in Jubei, but I liked that game & the character way more than any Onimusha featuring Samanosuke. I find that girl with the glasses in DMC5 ugly, but doesn't mean anything if the game ends up being good, y'all need to check where your priorities lies man, smh.

[rainslacker]

They look better than the originals.

Plus, it's not like the original had stellar game play. It was pretty clunky.

[SuperSonic91]

They are westernizingvcrap again

[chrisx]

didn't look as weird as the thumbnail during the trailer, especially claire

[PhoenixUp]

I don’t like what this engine has done to Nero’s face. I barely saw how Dante looked but I’m guessing he ain’t walking away from the makeover unscathed cuz Chris Redfield sure didn’t

[TheGamez100]

Yea...please redo them. My girl Claire needs to look how she originally did but in hd of course. Arent they both around 18-20? They look too old.

[GamesMaster1982]

Well whatever, but Capcom just destoyed E3 2018 with RE 2 and DMC5. The excellent old Capcom seems to be back.

[Movefasta1993]

It started with monster Hunter and hopefully they see the hype shadowdies,nioh and ghostoft are gaining and release onimusha

[GamesMaster1982]

Hell yes would love another Onimusha also. I have a good feeling that the way things are going with them now, they might just surprise us sooner or later.

[trooper_]

We just need Onimusha now!

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I wonder if they can even find their place now with Nioh, Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima... I wouldn't even mind a HD collection of the original trilogy, but they're gonna have to come with their A game to differentiate themselves from this resurgence of Japanese and Samurai games.

[firelogic]

@KwietStorm

They really only need to differentiate themselves from NiOh and Sekiro because Ghost of Tsushima is grounded in reality without any fantastical elements. Onimusha falls more in line with the first two I mentioned and even those games are going more for a brutal "souls-like" experience. Onimusha can just be the action game it turned into vs the horror game it started out as.

[Sirk7x]

That's what I was saying! Monster Hunter, Megaman, Resident Evil, DMC, Capcom is on fire lately, and seems to be giving fans great experiences and turning back on making action movie games. I love it.

[lociefer]

They look like abused children in grown ups bodies, also not liking the transition to over the shoulder, but will still get it though, that engine is really good

[-Foxtrot]

It's third person and back being a true RE game...who cares at this point.

[StormLegend]

Amen

[GamesMaster1982]

Same, cant wait, the legend is reborn !.

[Vanfernal]

With that said, the gameplay itself seems to borrow heavily from RE7. It's 3rd person but with a locked camera from behind. I hope that means that the game is also going to have VR. I'm all for a 3rd person perspective, but I sure hope VR is an option for this game.

[-Foxtrot]

What? The gameplay looks completely different from RE7

[GamesMaster1982]

And Re 7 was an amazing game, even better if anyone had chance to try it in VR. It is a must for PSVR, one of the amazing experiences . So yes even if it were first person,so be. I mean Resi Darkside Chronicles was a light gun game, but still captured RE2 story great i would say.

[WorldGamer]

There is 100% chance that any face they put would cause an issue with someone. The faces look fine, the game seems like it will be a treat for old and new fans which is the point at the end of the day. I say if the faces make you that upset, there are more serious issues going on than the game itself.

[PhantomS42]

Who cares what the faces look like, the game looks fantastic. Character design is still on point if people were able to identify them as Leon and Claire before they were named in the trailer. People will complain about anything and everything for the sake of getting attention for themselves.

[Greyfoxdbz]

OMG. I was just saying to a friend that Leon looked really weird but I thought it was just me being fussy. glad there are others.

[Platformgamer]

yeah, let's copy the original faces
you know, the polygonal ones

[northpaws]

So-called fans these days, complain about everything and have zero faith at anything developers do.

- Completely remake RE2... his face is ugly.
- Has a female in a war game... omg so unrealistic.
- Two girls kissed... It is pushing an agenda, I would skip one of the best games just because of that.
- A new RPG use first person view... oh no, I am skipping this game...

Seriously? No one cares about the gameplay, if all you guys want are just reasons to skip games, go sell your consoles and watch Netflix all day.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Amen!

[Vandamme21]

They look fine in my opinion. I’m so excited...I can’t wait to play it.

[TeamIcoFan]

Agreed, the ones complaining probably want them to have ridiculous looking anime-ish faces or some shit like that.
Especially a certain n4g member who has a massive rage boner for anything that's even slightly western.

[Vandamme21]

I agree with you
Lmao

[GamesMaster1982]

I think most the people complaining over the faces in most games these days need to look in the mirror, and see what a truly ugly face really looks like.

[ziggurcat]

oh god, more complaining about character models...

[trooper_]

It's a freaking remake...

What, you want pixelated PS1 faces or something?

[TeamIcoFan]

Sad thing is they probably do.
They probably really do want them to look like some dead eyed anime waifus or something...

[naruga]

Damn -RE6 -super well made faces ...these i wanted..happy now?

[DaigotheKing]

No they want them to look like they did in other games. These characters have appeared in the same era other than the original ps1 game. Leon himself has been in several HD games as has Claire. Don't be ignorant.

[on_line_forever]

pixelated PS1 faces is better than this remake specialy Claire

[sssb]

to be honest I feel the same when saw trailer for 1st time, you could say ok about Leon but Claire looks awful not face of young girl.
anyway I very excited to play the game with or without faces.

[TeamIcoFan]

Might wanna rephrase that...

[Gamist2dot0]

Just make the users create their own Leon, Claire, Ada etc, and...there will still be complaints lol.
I'm fine with how they look.

[BadElf]

Yeah, why did Claire and Leon get face injections?

[gtxgamer2]

Give me a break.. some of y'all need to reevaluate your lives

[TeamIcoFan]

The ones complaining are probably too busy hugging their giant pillow waifus in their mother's basement. :X

[Parasyte]

Don’t care. Still buying it!

[Silly gameAr]

So much complaining over games that look like they're going to be awesome. Gamers are some of the most overly dramatic consumers when it comes to entertainment.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Gaming community up in arms over trivialities? Shocking.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Just another day at the office, lol

[DaFeelz]

Not feeling Leon’s booty chin. That’s my only complaint.

[masterfox]

This remake looks overall freaking great definitely so happy and excited for a RE game again but yeah the faces are kinda off.

[ps3rider]

Faces are ok really no would be able to see their faces during game play in ps1 .. so why whining ... just buckle and enjoy it

[Harkins1721]

Nah they both look great

[Smokehouse]

I like it a lot lol. The faces are ok, a little too young but the RE4 built in the RE7 engine direction is fantastic. It’s one of my favorite games of the show and it wasn’t even on my radar.

[Elda]

It's a reimagining of the 20 year old original game what do anyone expect? It's going to look different. A day one buy for me.

[firelogic]

Capcom needs a new character art team. They sucked in SFV, they sucked in MVC:I, they suck in DMC5, and they suck in RE2. It's clearly a pattern folks, not a one-off or "opinions."

[warriorcase]

I think it looks incredible. Easily one of my most anticipated. Can't wait to get back into Racoon city for arguably the best Resident evil game.

[DaigotheKing]

It's funny how people can't even comment about anything in games anymore without the kneejerk "GAMERS R BABIES GROW UP OUT OF YOUR BASEMENT HURR DURR".

Geez, people have feelings about things, it's ok.

[GamesMaster1982]

I also don’t understand this ugly face shit , so what yall haters would prefer that classic Capcon 12 pixel face ?. Too me they look mint . I don’t want them real looking too real or 3 pixel PS1. it’s a video game end of the day , not a live action movie. Here’s a thing for all haters check out the into to the OG Resi . That shit is real as yall getting, or them cringe feast movies ,Hate it and just don’t buy simple. But for me and millions this is the game we wished RE2 was, and now have got.

[LgbtWarrior]

Claire looks all Botoxed up. Leon looks good but Claire clearly needs to go on Botched.

[jeromeface]

Going with OTS camera greatly diminishes my interest in the project

[-Gespenst-]

They look alright to me. Young, like they're supposed to be. Not ugly.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Boo hoo.. game looks friggin amazing to me!

[ApexWolf22]

They look Faaaboolusss, like straight out of a generic teen movie, so silky smooth...

[BlaqMagiq1]

They both look fine to me. I'm just glad we can finally RE2 in HD

[paintedgamer1984]

Dont gaf about their faces... just make the gameplqy and graphics amazing!

[Pancit_Canton]

Get a ****ing life people. The faces looks good. Just be grateful that we are getting a remake of this game. I'll waited 2 decades for this.

[PaleMoonDeath]

They went from anime/cgi looking faces too realistic faces, those who don't like the new and improved look.. take off your nostalgia goggles, it truly didn't look as good as you remember. They look how I imagined they looked as a kid in the 90's.. that alone is a feat.

[CobraKai]

I liked the way Leon looked in RE 4. There was no mistaking him for anyone else. While I’m not tripping over RE2’s model for Leon, it’s jarring how different he looks at first. Kinda reminds me of that one guy from Neighbors and Baywatch.

Or the red ranger from Power Rangers Megaforce.

[DefaultComment]

Ya don't say!! Wonder why?

[CrimsonWing69]

Can you blame them? I mean just look at them, woof!

[mastershredder]

To be fair, Leon was a rookie and all back then, but they made him and Claire look like a tween horror movie cover.

Resident Daycare.

[Rodney25]

When are fans ever happy about anything?

[gamer7804]

I thought something looked off, I prefer Leon's original face.

[Gatsu]

There's always those who whine, can't satisfy everyone even when giving a remake like they want.

[DivineAssault]

Theyre not ideal but the rest of the game looks fantastic. They arent too bad tho. They probably required talented voice actors that also had to do mocap for this engine. Ill take it over a simple graphical remake. Just give it a chance because after 7, it seems like theyre finding their mojo again with this genre

[gantarat]

RE Engine use real people face.

[bigmalky]

I don't mind the faces, but I do mind the over the shoulder camera. Should have done the REmake style again.

[QUIMICOMORTAL]

If they are supposed to be the same characters the faces are way, way off!

And he face is plain ugly, no matter who she is.

[Tzuno]

People are now complaining about faces :))) i am more interested in gameplay, get a life.

[FernDiggidy]

Ppl love to bitch-moan and complain about everything nowadays.

[LinkMaster64X]

People will bitch about anything nowadays, won't they?

From people badmouthing Devil May Cry 5 and now this? A bunch of entitled brats, stfu and be happy these games are being made.

[xtheblackparade]

I like them faces, pretty.
