I feel like they made that up after making it specifically for Resident Evil, and probably calling it RE engine (referencing resident evil) internally, cause they realized they could use it for everything.
I mean, it does have a moon on the logo but yeah, really seems like they only planned to use it for the Resident Evil games (I mean, what other linear game is Capcom gonna make? a new Onimusha? Dino Crisis?), they've been a Resident Evil factory for quite a while, but since the guys working on DMC5 used the engine, they probably thought that they should sop calling it the Resident Evil engine.
I like everything I'm reading aside from the music bit. But if this is the original composer's vision for this version of RE2 I can live with that. Maybe the soundtrack will be great and be implemented incredibly well in the final game. I'm still incredibly excited.
Should have just used matt mullins as the face actorIt kind of depends on the angle, to be fair.
What he looks like vs. what he could and should have looked like. His new face model is definitely a downgrade, even if it's not "ugly as sin" or anything. He went from being a hunk to looking like a random average looking guy.
Gonna semi-disagree. Unless you're rolling out an old school CRT to play the game, Gamecube version via emulation holds the best today (outside of Vita on it's small screen).
- High resolution character models, ability to skip all scenes (even in-engine one's), 60 FPS FMV (I think, not 100% sure).
- Additional emulator based smoothing options which enhance, or at least smooth out, 2D background quality on higher resolutions.
Notice all the store front names, car bumpers etc to see the cleaned up aliasing on these ancient 240p backgrounds.

Woah. That's quite a jump from the PS1 version. Actually looks like a Gamecube-era game.
Tbh, they were ports of the pc/Dreamcast versions of the games which were significantly better than the ps1 versions.
Yeah, the filtered graphics definitely give me a Dreamcast vibe. Makes sense.
I still think the gamecube versions are the best, but honestly any version will do.
Ps1 will be easiest to find and get working especially if you have a ps2 or og ps3.
Such a shame that RE3 doesn't get that much love from the modding community on dolphin.Gonna semi-disagree. Unless you're rolling out an old school CRT to play the game, Gamecube version via emulation holds the best today (outside of Vita on it's small screen).

I am pretty sure, at least for Claire, her in game model looks way different then that key visual. I personally like the new in game model faces quite a bit.
Eh, Darkside Leon could look really weird at times
While the new faces look good, I still prefer Darkside Chronicles'
Finished Leon A in 4h46m
Had a blast. Though I haven't met Mr X yet.
How do I change discs in the PSN version (PS3)? The "Switch Discs" option was greyed out.

You know nothing, Claire Snow! :D
PS Button -> Reset game -> Select Disc
I'm sorry Crossy but according to RoH the new face models are LITERAL SUPERMODELS haha
Who wouldn't be in love with neo-Leon? He's like the most beautiful man in videogames.
Yeah all the faces are actually scanned actors from a modeling agency. So they're all literally super-models.
The difference really is not (much like DMC5) the characters are no longer completely hand made. Thus why they've all dropped that anime/realism look they all used to have in basically every game prior to 7.
I personally prefer the Realsiti Anime style. But RE2 modes are a much better fit here than what they did with Chris. So I'm guessing his sacrifice helped the other characters we'll see in the future stay more in-line similarity wise.
Since we already know RE7 Chris was literally just picked because they thought he sorta looked like RE5/6 Chris and not until later did they realize they sort borked that and it was too late to change anything.

I know this will sound really dumb, but this method I think works well with RE. Long before this the characters of RE were all abnormally attractive anyways, so them being scanned off actual modeling agency people is kinda' fitting in that B-Horror kinda' way.
I agree. I mean Ada was already doing backflips in cocktail dresses. I like my fabulous RE characters.
Absolutely worth playing the original, especially since the remake looks quite different. The original is a great game.
Should I just play Claire A/Leon B, or do I need to play the opposite order too?
If you want to get 100% of the story you need to do both, but the differences are pretty minimal so if you don't feel like going through both back to back it's no biggie.
Do what you think you will like. I personally still massively enjoy Leon A/Claire B over Claire A/Leon B
Yes they hire a fashion agency when they can models but they made edits after the fact, the characters don't look like they just got done preparing for a photoshoot.
They look like that to me but ok. It's not bad.
I think The word you were looking for with the old models was "doll-like". They don't look like perfect dolls anymore but like perfect humans. Which, given the new realist tone, fits better.
It was made in Japan, so shouldn't it have been called the BH Engine? Unless they were naming it after Biohazard 7's subtitle.
It's not just about looking like people but also having genuine flaws. Leon's skin is dirty, sweaty, and has visual blemishes. Those kinda intimate details make the characters more grounded.
Decent price for Brazilians, no localization is weird tho. But i play the games in english anyway so no big deal.
"But first, let me take a selfie!"
:D :D :D
Someone should tweet Ed Boon, Leon stole Cassie Cage's fatality.
Yeah, I noticed that in the trailer. Especially in the cutscenes with Marvin. I don't get why so many devs love to put it in their games.
This E3 was truly the year of the intestine.
I'm not into this new level of gore either (in cutscenes, anyway), but video games will continue to desensitize me and all will be well. I do like the zombie damage modeling even though having the arm dangle before it falls off is pretty gross.
Shame we didn't get to see what Ethan actually looked like in RE7
Yet RE2make is already miles ahead of this haha
New Leon is like the hottest video game character of all time.Average relative to the porcelain perfection that came before:
vs
Real good looking faces > anime porcelain looking faces.
Remake Leon is a stunner and far from average.
I feel sorry for Ethan's model. "Hey, we're hiring you to be the face of our game's protagonist. Except we will use your face only for a single character render and you will be barely visible in game for a split second in a single scene."
Highly likely that he wasn't even told that it was for RE let alone that he was the protagonist, Besides Jack is the face of the game.
