His slow walking animation at the very start of the trailer is just very slowed down version of a normal walk [for example, his arms are unnaturally flapping while moving in slow motion].

That's the only thing of the presentation that looks meh to me.

The person and/or group of people who came up with the idea of the camera violently pulling in when you get bit by a zombie deserve a raise, systemic jump scares for people who aren't extra careful:

Yeah, it's a nice transition animation though because it fits the context of this game. Usually when you're quickly pulling back, it would be from a startled state/reaction.

I need this game like right now, it is amazing how good (modern) it looks yet it still strikes the exact nostalgic vibes of the original.
They've made so many good design decisions that I had never considered when they announced that this game was in development. It's shocking.

Heads-up, I think the stream Capcom TV did today confirmed Extreme Battle Mode.

There was a new song from REmake 2 playing in the background of them talking in the stream. This was the clearest time stamp I could find where you can hear it (2 hours 6 minutes and 40 seconds in):



I recognized it but couldn't place on where I'd heard it before, so I quickly went through all of RE2's music and I think I found it.

It's a bit hard to hear, but I think it's a new take on the Extreme Battle Mode music from RE2:



So if I'm hearing it right, I think it might confirm Extreme Battle Mode is in. There's a few songs for Extreme Battle Mode, but all of them use a few similar sounds to each other not used in the rest of RE2, and the song from the stream is using those same sounds (the drums, both the bigger and more military ones, this one low horn thing, and a few other touches), so I'm pretty certain even if not the exact song it's an Extreme Battle Mode song.


MOST EXCELLENT !

Agreed on both accounts.

I was expecting a version basically like the first one as well as 0, this is a definitely a pleasant surprise. Especially all the nuanced details they're adding to it.

It's basically how we daydreamed it could be some day, back when playing these in their original state when they came out.

So question: is leon immune to being turned into a zombie? i always get confused when the characters get bitten but are always okay. or do you need to get bit a certain amount of times before you turn?

It's a day 1 purchase for me and I'm excited about it, but it surprises me a little when people say this is the most exiting/game they've always wanted/looks so new/etc.

is it just the modern gfx?
Other than looking great it's not really offering any significant innovations

Well, I mean if you want to go that far with it, how can somebody who gets bitten in the neck shrug it off? Or in RE4 Leon gets slashed with gardening tools and still run around or green herbs heal slash wounds/bite wounds. Just got to roll with it.

Canonically Leon, Claire, Chris etc. never get bit or hurt outside of cutscenes, (and funnily enough survive nearly everything with nothing more than a pistol). IIRC Jill gets briefly infected in RE3 after getting attacked by nemesis in a cutscene.

You only have to get bite once to turn into a zombie but they won't make so the characters gameover in one bite of course.

Dunno how correct it is, but from what I heard, getting bitten once does not guarantee infection, your health, immune system and stuff, all affect the probability. But just in case, none of the main character canonically ever get bitten. If you ever get bitten in the game that's just you. Canonically that didn't happen.

No one is immune. It is just a gameplay mechanic. Wouldn't be very fun if it's a one hit you're dead kind of thing unless you're playing a Hell or Hell mode like in the Devil May Cry games.

It's pretty amazing how RE7 and especially this RE2 remake have revitalized my love for the series. I couldn't have been more "over" a series than I was from 2009-2016.

Not sure if anyone knows, but say if you stun a zombie by shooting them in the head or leg, will we then be able to perform a contextual punch, kick, push or stomp to conserve ammunition?

I can't ever get enough of watching this demo... I think because part of me still can't believe one of my dreams cane true in one of the most unimaginable way :-))))

I think I'm going to avoid watching through the demo. I'd like to experience this while still somewhat in the dark, but man those gifs and small videos I've seen look incredible.

In the Resident Evil fiction, the T-Virus (which creates the zombies, zombie dogs, etc.) does not pass effectively through contact with infected. It spreads during an short airborne phase when it breaks containment. That's what happened in the lab underneath the mansion in RE1. In RE2, a similar event occured in the sewers underneath the city, that's how the majority of the city was infected. Rats carried elsewhere after that, that's why the E3 trailer focused on a rat being in the police station.

What's going on at 3:58 of the video? Looks like a contextual animation that plays based on zombie proximity where they catch Leon but he ends up getting away!

Gameplay is completely different.
Its taking all the greatness of the original and giving it the upgrade of the more modern series mechanics while keeping it truely horror and not overly action.

People were worried it would go too far with it as they had for some people in the past

Everything looks incredible. Weapons sound/feel (to the best of my knowledge) meaty and powerful, Leon looks awesome, graphics and sound are both AAA.

Nah, Tank Controls are still annoying as fuck. Having to fight against the controls of the game your playing is never an enjoyable experience.
As played out as it sounds, you will get used to them. The starting sections are always difficult, but once you get to the first save room and start venturing out on mini-adventures, you start to gain control and the game comes alive.

Whenever I played RE7 I was constantly thinking about what classic RE zombies would look like with the same great graphics. I did not expect to get an answer this quick... and o'boy do they look great. They are easily one of my most favourite zombie designs, across all mediums.

Looking from all gameplay demo no. The game is not designed to be heavily combat like RE4-6. This game is basically REmake using over shoulder camera.

The face tech is usually the most impressive I've seen in a game. This GAME. GOAT incoming
