Resident Evil 2 Remake

[misterworkout12]

Yep i think I will buy this game as well, the trailer is nice

[mkx1775]

Surprised no one is talking about the One Shot demo. Just finished the playing time on my XboneX and about to play it on my PS4Pro. Looks really good and plays well imho. Really excited about this coming out at the end of the month.

Playing the Gamecube RE2 version on emulator with the highres mod lately to get myself excited about the remake. Also going through the story thoroughly again to compare to remake.

Thots?

[ChristmasFnatic]

Played the original(though PC version). I can still remember the main story but not everything. I read its not a complete copy and there are changes? Played all the major RE, and only missed a few side ones.

Wanna get this, but will wait. Have a lot of games I still need to finish.

Edit: realized I am wearing my RE7 shirt as I was typing this. Lol

There are a lot of changes. It's more a new game than a remake.
And instead of having 4 stories, this time there are only 2.

RE1 remake is probably the best remake I've ever played.

Wife and I played this Halloween night tripping hard on lsd. We spend at least an hour running around in a circle forgetting what we we're doing, while the game bled off the screen. We actually managed to get about 1/3rd of the way through in one sitting.

Game is excellent.

[mightyporgy]

Also, the jump scare in the interrogation room is still giving me flashbacks 20 yrs later lol.

I was 20 and playing this with my 12 year old cousin. When the dogs jumped through the glass he screamed. I hit pause and grabbed my chest. We still talk about it to this day. I introduced my wife to RE with the hd remake and at christmas dinner I just said "Tell Donna about resident evil" and he just started laughing his ass off about that night.

Bout accurate af in regards to trying to game on a trip.
Brb do nothing but push buttons and move around aimlessly while ur eyes attempt to take it all in.

Just downloaded RE 2 (PSOne Classic) from the Playstation Store onto my PS3.

I had no idea it was available. Pretty excited. Pure nostalgia on start up!

[FawkinJuicy]

Getting hyped for this game. Seems to be a lot of positive buzz around it. This was one of my favorite games growing up. I still remember renting it on my 14th birthday and having a couple of friends over to stay the night and play it - first time I was legit afraid to play a game lol.

[SoutheastBeast1]

My favorite game of all time. Had no idea they were remaking it until I just saw this thread. Haven't played video games for a long time but almost want to go buy whatever system this is on just to play this one game lol

I just replayed RE2 the other day and I was surprised how short it was. I remember it being much longer. Oh well still one of my favorites that I will always adore.

But RE4...one of the best damn games ever created. For me that one is on a high pedestal. I really hope this remake can challenge it.

[Motiviert]

these

this also

[Wamrage76]

RE4 is the GOAT resident evil game.
RE2 remake looks promising but i highly doubt anything can beat RE4.
Cant believe RE4 is from 2005!!! Damn im old.

In no way did I dislike RE4, it's an awesome game so don't take this post the wrong way, but compared to RE2 it just never came close.

It's definitely much longer than RE2. But the story of RE2, the atmosphere, the scares/jump scenes, the strategy of when to shoot and when to run and conserve ammo, the exploration of the game space (police station basically) was all so much better.

With RE4 obviously the graphics were better, the gunfire was better, it was longer. But at the same time I also felt like I was more on this linear path with the game for the most part (i.e. I had to complete one task before being able to move on to the next task).

RE2 really isn't like that. Yes there's obviously some stuff you have to do before you're able to access others but as far as things like finding certain keys or collecting certain items or solving a particular puzzle, a lot of them are independent of one another in that police station. I can replay that game and complete a good chunk of the tasks in a totally different order many times.

That's one thing I think the later RE's started to lose in my opinion, that free range motion. RE2 (and RE1) felt more realistic in the sense your in this police station (and mansion and RE1) and there's all these clues and you need to piece everything together which can be done however you choose to explore for the most part.

RE4 was you hit the village, you take out everyone there, you go to the lake, you get what you need there, you go back to the village and head toward the castle, etc etc (it's been awhile since I played it so forgive me if the details are off a bit but you get the point I'm trying to make, lol). Too linear and that wasn't as fun to me.

I also did not like the merchant and the ruby collecting. It was gay and unrealistic (yes I know I'm talking unrealistic in a fantasy world zombie attack game, lol, but still.. super gay to buy things from a pop up merchant with imaginary rubies). I don't know who came up with that idea or how it passed testing honestly.

As a side note if you've ever seen the YT video of the guy who went to a mall (I think it was a mall) dressed as the merchant and started talking to people asking if they wanted to buy things it's quite possibly one of the funniest things I've ever seen. So even though I wasn't a fan of it in the game, it at least spawned that wonderful video that I will never forget.



Like I said though I still loved RE4. Always been a huge RE fan so not criticizing it as a game. Just comparatively speaking to the earlier games it wasn't up there for me is all.

I just watched a bunch of YT clips and the remake looks like it's kept that exploration factor of the station very much intact so that's awesome to see. I assume they've created different puzzles and "surprises" with what jumps out at you to keep it interesting and on your toes so it's not exactly the same. Outside of that though hopefully not much more is changed.

Got this one on pre order. Literally my dream come true gaming wise. RE2 was my favorite growing up(RE3 not far behind). So far I've avoided all videos and spoilers. Can't wait to get my hands on this. I've played through RE4 a few times and while enjoyable, I find it highly overrated as an RE game. I actually liked RE5 better. Yea I know, unpopular opinion.

[rockr101]

gosh cant wait for this

have a love/hate for scary games and this game looks terrifying lol

last good RE game i beat was 5

[gwem32170191]

2 spooky 4 me.

srs I got the chit scared out of me by resident evil one on the OG playstation. Dat 9 year old self never forgets.

I did play through 5 with my bro though, that was actually pretty fun and not that spooky.

I agree about re2 vs re4. The thing is re4 deviated from the original formula and in a sense is not a true resident evil. The next one that is close is re7.

[Harambe4ever]

I played the 30 minute demo a few days ago. Will definitely buy

[2020Wellness]

I really want to play this, but with rdr2 and fo:76 coming out, I'll have no time...

Something tells me you didn't end up putting much time into FO76.

[AD117]

I finished getting all the achievements for RE7, so I rebought RE4 and am now working in it. After this, RE1 and I'll be ready for RE2 in 4 days.

Holy hell I'm hyped brahs

Yeah I haven't ever played RE7. Like I said it's been a long time since I played video games. But this remake has me at least tempted to buy a system and catch up on all the RE's I haven't played.

RE4 was the last one I played through completion. I stopped video games not long after, when RE5 came out I did play it on a friends system for a few days but didn't really have access to start and finish it all the way through (I don't own a PS3 or XBox One, so the platform switch once PS2 became obsolete is really where my playing days ended). I remember the format being similar to RE4 though, and I was disappointed by that to some extent.

Like many people I don't even acknowledge its existence.

[solidus2k3]

my body is ready

[Chump1987]

This is going to be my first day1 buy in over a year.

Even bought the RE1 HD remake in preparation, finished it last night.

[Bwallace189]

How did you brahs fair in the demo? I wanted to explore but also felt the sense of the timer so I didnt get to look around as much as I'd like too. I only got the 1 medallion before my timer ran out.

RE 7 in psvr is scary as chit. BRB walking around in chest deep water in the basement and some fuking zombie head jumps out right in your face. legit screamed

A friend of mine refuses to finish it. He is also a combat veteran who has seen crazy chit. But that game scares the wits out of him.

[Voidgaze]

Just played the Steam demo for this game.

Holy fuk I'm hooked!

And you can be almost certain the game will run perfectly without bugs and glitches. Capcom's QC is very strict.
