This looks amazing. So excited for this.

RE Engine is low key one of the best engines out there, both RE7 and this look just incredible.

Just a random thought, but due to being able to shoot clothing and skin off enemies, I am placing my bets you can shoot off Mr. X's fedora.

Whats the best version of origibal RE2? I wanna play that before I get this. Would I be good with the version on PS1 on psn?
If you are sensitive to tank controls and want the 3D option that REmake HD and RE:0 HD had you could hunt down RE2 for N64, it has that 3D option in the controls.

Anyhow though: RE2 looks real rough on HDTVs, I'd wager to say you should play it old school on a CRT Tv with one of the old consoles!

Man, with Mega Man 11, Devil May Cry 5 And Resident Evil 2 Capcom must be like...

Resident Evil 2 looks fantastic BTW, really can't wait to play it.

People are finding ways to bash this game, weird, best game at E3 for me, they nailed the look and feel 100 %, i feel like 17 years old again.
And thank God that Capcom are showing games so close to their release (Can you learn Square ENIX?)

Well shoot, was so busy focusing on Record of Events going out of the way constantly from avoiding the word that I forgot to double check the cutdown Operation Report. Thanks for pointing it out.

My guess is they assume its like rabies or 'bath salts' at first. By the time theyre having to make makeshift ammo they seem to have gone 'yeah no these are fucking zombies.

I do like that this is a serious setting that also knows the concept of zombies. The whole Z-word prohibition is always kind of lame to me.

Also noticed the desktop is a somewhat edited version of the GUI of the pc in the original game.

I was extremely excited when I heard this was coming out, but now, after seeing the demos, I couldn't be more disappointed. Exploring the Police Station in a completely 3D space feels...weird. It's like playing an Outbreak game instead of the "real" games. The fact they went with an OTS camera, plus adding a bunch of cinemas that weren't completely necessary, makes this feel like something different altogether. And no A/B scenarios? C'mon, Capcom!

Also, what the hell happened to the fantastic soundtrack from RE2? Completely gone?!

I still wish we could have had REmake-style versions of 2 and 3, but this looks too good to be too hung up about it.

During the demo last night, last night for me that is, did anyone else catch the host or one of the developers present saying you can board up stuff? Like windows, to prevent zombies from getting in.

It probably won't start with that exact text since the game starts at a different point. For the record, Leon's campaign starts at a Gas Station and the Pitstop Store by the Gas Station, while Claire's campaign starts at a Diner (I think for Claire, know for Leon). They actually meet up after their beginnings, and then get separated. Since RE2's whole opening CG stuff is now essentially a playable and expanded gameplay sequence, that exact text may not pop up right at the start.

We get to play thoe opening sequences?

Oh lord.

I can totally get that they want the game to be more realistic and have more control but a lot of this with the darker areas, flash light and ots really does make the game feel too different from its source material to me

It looks incredible to me. It's really cool to see these environments from a new point of view. I was totally expecting door-loading-screens at some parts but then they just push open a door and the're the hallway you were expecting! Amazing.

I watched a minute of gameplay and immediately shut it off. It looks like everything I ever wanted and I am going on media blackout starting now.

I need to play through Resi 2 again. Hot damn I am so fucking excited.

Not directly related to your quote but do you think this game has any chance of its release date being pushed ahead? I really don't want Kingdom Hearts 3 getting in the way of this game selling well. I get that they appeal to different crowds but literally everyone I know wants both games... I wanted to ask the devs this for tomorrow's stream but I don't have a twitter account.

I have no idea, except to say it's not impossible. RE6 did move it's release date forward by a little over a month, so there is a precedent of comparison. IF they will is another thing entirely though.

Well, I hope they'll definitely consider it once again. I've waited too long for this and I'd hate for it to not sell as well as Capcom would like because they're placing it right next to Kingdom Hearts 3. I think moving it to December would be a lot safer. If the game really is complete for the most part and it's just polishing for the next six months until release then I hope they end up finishing their work sooner than they expect, but I don't know how much work is involved in polishing a game like this after it's complete.

Honestly KH3 and SE are the ones who should worry about REmake 2. But i'm not a KH fan so who knows.

Ive played and loved all the mainline resi games except CV which i didn't care for for some reason, but ive always had a fondness for resi 2 and remember the day when i played through each scenario one after the other. So when remake came out and i really didn't like it i was worried i wouldnt like this but after looking at the videos i think it looks great and can't wait.

This is EASILY the game of the show.

- Something that wasn't even guaranteed to happen at this year's E3
- Announcement Trailer
- Trailer was actually stunning
- Trailer ended with A RELEASE DATE (which isn't insanely far off)
- A Playable demo was ready for E3

... All of this... in ONE.

That is something that a publisher does when they are extremely confident in their game. The game is reportedly done and has 6 or so months of polish before release.

That is absolutely insane. GOTS!
Agreed, this is how you do a reveal.

*cough* FFVII-R *cough*

Target audiences are waaaaay too different for it to matter, also, since RE2 is so horror focused it'll be clearly not aiming for astronomic levels of sales... i don't think neither of them should be worried, diehard fans of horror RE simple won't sleep on this title and fans of disney will simply jump on KH, fans of both like me will go poor, but happy D:

I was in the crowd that was hoping for at least an option for fixed cameras, but after the footage shown, I don't even care anymore. Game looks insane!

RE2 looks absolutely great on Vita, IMO it's the best way to play it right now.

No I caught that too, sounds very situational but great all the same.

Emulators with CRT filters is likely a better idea so no one has to lug out an old CRT (if they even have one) or have yet another console hooked up in their room.

Looks amazing, better than i could've hoped for.

I laughed when the producer mentioned they added restrooms, somehow i never noticed they were missing in the original lol

Watch it being the worst thing you could do because he now has tentacles on his head or something.

This game just looks absolutely sick, day 1 for sure.

Thankfully I played bits and pieces of RE2 back in the day and barely remember anything other than the very beginning so I'll basically be going in fresh.

That's true, the small screen helps the game look less rough.

Yeah, I'm a eager retrogamer so I have one. You can also use upscalers with scanlines (Framemeister, OSSC etc.), but these are fairly pricy. An emulator is probably the way to go, or a PSVita like mentioned above.

Looks amazing BUT

Not a fan of the soundtrack so far. In this case I'm glad we can have the option to use the original OST again.
