Resident Evil 2 Remake [XO, PS4, PC]

Capcom are asking people if they want a new RE remake in a poll. Yes, please!

Re-remakes of RE1 and RE0 remakes with the new engines in 3D, which fits these games very well -i.e. Resident Evil 2 Remake-. I could well accept a remake of Resident Evil 2 Remake with Raytracing and additions to the campaigns to let them be totally different without intertwined events that can contradict.
 
a week ago or so I paid 3€ for the original soundtrack of RE2. Well....

As much as I love and love the original soundtrack of RE2 -the STARS office music for instance-, also the original game of course, old games needed music like this to emphasize the sense of fear, 'cos they couldn't make games as dark as now.

However, in the new game the music feels totally off. :( You don't need it anymore to add to the atmosphere, in fact it doesn't add to it, on the contrary...

The soundtrack of the remake is much better imho. The game sounds more scary and fits it a lot more than the old one. (I also purchased the original music DLC but after playing the entire campaign with it, I didnt like it).

Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City shows Lisa Trever and zombie dogs. Full trailer is coming tomorrow.

Not much to say for now, save for the fact that I like the girl playing Claire, actress Kaya Scodelario, seems right for the role. Maybe it's not as perfect as the Claire from Resident Evil 2 Remake but she is fine.

Hasn't RE suffered enough? :p

You know? I really like the animated films. However, I struggled to sit through that recent Netflix series.

Talk about boring.

They have generally fucked up the whole universe and atmosphere. From survival horror, it transformed into an action packed zombie b-movie universe where the protagonists are ballsy action heroes who can be grabbed and thrown by a Tyrant without braking a single bone.
They missed the point.
This counts for games, life action movies and animated movies.
Why on earth do they insist in this formula I have no idea when what define the series was the sense of vulnerability and danger.
I hope this movie succeeds in the atmosphere but the trailer shows to be a mix of getting what Resident Evil is and not getting it.
 
Yeah. I get where you're coming from. I told fanboys on actual RE sites for years that Capcom was just copying shit from whatever was trending, to keep milking it. As in, ripping off whatever at the time, was currently popular.

Few people listened. I had a good crack at it, though. But you just cannot get people like that to wisen up. :D

I even told people that Capcom is terminally obsessed with the year 1998. It seems every year or so, a film or game goes back to that year, despite the fact Raccoon City is long gone. It's sickening. ;)
 
I've not really noticed any difference in performance as I've played through it again with the mod.

I suppose it would make benchmarking easier as each scene is now at a consistent angle.

I do wish the game shipped with this as an option.

that's the key, optional.... Some people prefer the new gameplay style, some other people like fixed cameras for a more classic experience. I think Capcom could add this option in a new patch or on a re-remake of this -my favourite RE game to date- where they add path tracing and more branching paths for both main characters, etc.

Thought this was worth sharing in here - It's unfinished but is really cool!!

And to be able to see out of the windows in RPD and see the street and fires is amazing.

heeheeh, it's curious how the tables turn, some people preferred a different look but not the fixed cameras when fixed cameras was a thing, and now they get it. Same for those which purchased the remake, which is the best RE ever at least for me, and wanted the classic look, hence the aforementioned mod.
 
I havent got the nerves for this game. I finished it when it came out, but I got my ass kicked so I switched to easy pretty early. Easy mode is a bit too easy so there was only any tension a couple of times during the whole game, so I decided to try it on normal.

So I got past the gas station and the first sequence in the police station. After the sequence where the gate kills the cop I shot the zombies in the legs and ran past them. So when I got the knifte after the injured cop which rescues you I went to the east part.

I went thru the corridors. Didnt have any boards so a zombie whent thru the windows behind me so I sneaked into the first room. While I was exploring that room she burst thru the door and grabbed me, so i managed to stab her as I panicked. While I explored the room some more she grabbed me again, she wasnt dead, wtf. I wasted a whole bunch of bullets on her and whent thru the little gap over the door. Ok, one zombie is banging on the vending machine so I sneak past him and into the big room where you´re supposed to open the lock to Leons desk. Only one zombie in here. If i keep him on the other side of the desks I can solve this puzzle withou wasting my precious ammo. Then all of a sudden the other zombie from the little room with the desk next adjacent to this has woken up, and the zombie from the corridor at the vending machine has followed me and burst thru the door, so all of a sudden I´m surrounded by zombies. I shoot franticaly at them, one grabs me so I stab him, and now my knife is damaged beyond repair. I´m basically out of ammo and I´m surrounded by three zombies with no ammo, and Im supposed to solve this puzzle at the same time. And I´ve probably wasted way to much resouces already.

Mr X hast even begun chasing me yet. No way, f*** this. I´ve heard The Plucky Squire is pretty good?
 
I noticed you cannot kill the zombies at the gate. In the original, you could do that. It wasn't necessary, because they couldn't open the gate anyway. But come on.

Also, glass doesn't even break in the RE2 remake. That would have made the game better. Imagine you're in a side room and a zombie pounded on the window. You could be giving just seconds to get out of the way. So this remake was kind of a wasted opportunity to offer scary vibes like this.
