Me too, I wouldn't mind fixed camera but the current setup for RE2R is vastly superior for me right now.

The shooting looks fine, and considering the game uses save points and not check points (and Ink Ribbons for those wanting the true RE2 experience) the survival horror balance of the game probably works as it should. It's not the zombies that are scary or facing 3 of them with limited ammo. It's the feeling that you're a long way from the last save-room and you'll have to go through here again if you die soon that makes it scary.
In terms of jank, I do think the non-aim movement looks very errr, offset. You know in 3D editors when you select where the pivot on the model is? It kinda looks like it's off on Leon in his running animation because the way her turns around the center of his position when running in multiple directions looks a little unpolished to me.
When it comes to RE I exclusively play the campaigns in single play, so RE6 contains absolutely nothing for me. 5 is ok when you get around Sheva's terrible AI
Yea it's a weird take. I loved RE7 as much as anyone here but the shooting in RE2 looks perfect.
360 era gave us Dead Space, Gears and Uncharted. I'm fine with that.
Considering there basically is no Wesker in the original RE2 I think it's entirely possible to go on without him but not if they keep resorting to the Bioterrorism and anti-bioterrorists blandness. There obviously has to be some biological hazard that causes an outbreak or it won't live up to its original Japanese namesake but I feel like they could continue in RE7's more intimate scale and make it about a group of individuals whose experiment has gone awry. If they want to continue the big-scale plot they have to shoehorn Wesker back in and tell us everything between 6 and 7 has all gone according to plan and then he'll use Blue Umbrella for his own needs or something.
Until Dawn is a completely different kind of game though. There is no combat, it's a mixture of pure exploration and QTE's. The one or two time you are asked to aim at something, the camera does indeed switch to OTS as you mentioned. But it's not a game with any kind of a persistent combat element at all.
So I don't think it's a valid example of a 'fixed' camera game when talking in relation to people's expectations for a fixed camera in RE2make.
I'd be A-OK with this. Don't even explain why he's back, he just is.
DC Douglas is an absolute must, though.
Alex was kinda fun, but no other antagonist had the sheer presence that Albert did.
I'm not expecting a demo this time... I don't know why :/
But, if we are going to get one I don't see it happening anytime before January only a week or two before release.

You're right, it was all I could think of at the time for their question.
No one is doing fixed camera angles like Resident Evil anymore. It's a relic of an time long gone.
Didn't say that was a bad thing, just confused with that statement overall.
I don't know if I would want Wesker in this in any significant way, at best I expect a few nods to the fact that he's still alive. If there is a Lisa Trevor style villian addition I expect it to be an expanded role for Mr X, maybe go a little bit more down the nemesis route with him.
Some call back to Wesker and Marcus working together would be useful and a win-win for fans. It's not clear in the original RE2 why Umbrella need to steal William's research when he's alittle late on the results.
If we're going to throw all logic out of the window, how about bringing back Svetlana Belikova instead?
Replaying Code Veronica these last few days, the controversial one. I get it, lots of backtracking, lots of get this item in this part of the map, run all the way to the other part of the map, get something to go all the way back and so on. But it's RE, it's all part of the design, this game is constantly keeping things interesting with new enemies showing up in locations, cool escape scenarios with timers, new enemies and so on. It's so good, the entire island is an interesting location, Steve as annoying as he can be is a great side character with one hell of a story to go with it. Alfred is great in every scene he's in, one of the best psycho Umbrella guys of the series. You have Wesker back, best villain by far. It has tons of action, I think I've killed more zombies so far than in most RE games. It's liberal with the ammo but there is so much to kill that I actually have to be careful.
And now I'm in the second half when it gets fantastic and there are boss battles all the time. Hunters return which are the best BOW. So many incredible moments in this game. Haters be damned, this is the real RE3.

Yeah yeah. Better antagonist better bitch slaps better outfits Nemesis got it all.
Speaking of CVX, it's really not my favorite but I did just buy a neat little purchase on Etsy. I only found out around a year ago that CVX was released on the Dreamcast, but only in Japan. So, I ordered a region-free version of CVX with an English-version patch applied to it. Only $27 including shipping!
I'm playing CVX now and it's fun but pretty tough. At the moment I feel like it deserves the 3 more but I still love Nemesis. I hope both get remade.
Or maybe people want a fixed camera only for the type of game that invented survival horror, which was based on cinematic camera angles, not shooting hoards of enemies like a light gun arcade shooter.
I didn't know CV was "bad" until I read it years later on the internet. I much preferred it over RE3. It hasn't really aged as well in the looks department though. At all.
Me neither. He wasn't "scary" in any way other than you having to constantly stress over wether or not you'll actually be able to have more than five minutes to enjoy the game before he shows up to shit all over your fun.
-Excellent, unique, and intimidating design
-He's legitimately dangerous and actually difficult to fight. Some of his fights, even on repeated playthroughs, are still a challenge in ways that other RE boss fights don't hold up
-He's the first RE creature to speak and to use firearms, but does such both in such a cool and iconic way, and is STILL better done than any of the talking or gun-toting enemies that turn up in later RE games
-His implementation in the game design was very inventive as he did a lot of shit that wasn't only new for RE games, but for horror/adventure games at the time, such as following Jill through rooms and being a persistent threat that wouldn't "reset" or "despawn" when saving. The normal save room music is even replaced by a suspenseful music track when he's waiting outside.
-He takes on 5+ forms through out the game and he pesters Jill in a huge variety of situations so even though you encounter him frequently, no encounter in any single playthrough is the same
-Even then, Nemesis spawns and encounters will occasionally change on repeated playthroughs
-The game is balanced so that if you put in the resources and skill to defeating him on Hard mode, you're given some REALLY cool and rewarding stuff.
-He's persistent in an otherworldly way. Even when he's a mess of tissue and body parts Frankenstein'd together from a vat of toxic biowaste and acid, he STILL makes a concerted to eliminate Jill.
-His constant presence is overbearing and essential to the extent that it truly does color the entire game and gives RE3 a wholly unique vibe. Other games have tried the "stalker" monster gimmick, like Ustanak in RE6, but the execution isn't nearly as tense, creative, memorable, or most of all, dangerous. Nemesis is a threat.

The stupider the reason the better I say. Like the volcano erupts and his dead body spews out of it and now he is some half lava half uroboros dude that can shapshift into his sunglasses wearing badass self.
Who cares why he is back just bring him back.
Am I crazy for saying that I now want a REmake-Remake like this? Just imagine how amazing it would be to play REmake in OTS with the gunplay of RE2 Remake.

It's a far tighter and more atmospheric game than CVX (those gorgeous prerendered backgrounds) and Never outstays it's welcome. The pacing with the open citing streets in the first half and string of mini-environments in the second is fantastic.
I still enjoy CVX quite a bit but it's got so many flawed or, in some cases, straight up broken design elements. RE3 feels way more in line with the standards of the first two games.
Only if we can also get a REmake 2-REmake like the first game

Man, I have a giant itch to re-play Remake and RE2 again! Maybe I'll jump on Remake after I beat Dark Souls. Man...I'm never gonna get around to playing the Witcher 3 or beating Arkham Knight lol.
RECV is the real RE3 imo.
I've always seen RE3 as a bit of a brave experiment, albeit a not entirely successful one due to the lack of focus and talent required to see it through. It's a solid game but it's one of the weakest titles in the main series for my taste.

Albert had presence but in 5 he got almost as gimmicky as the other villains , its just that the ones after 5 got much worse.
Would he still have his matrix like powers? uroboros obsession? Revenge? It wouldn't be the same after that death and the mystery is gone
I rather Natalex came back (after its revealed she killed Moira and Barry of course)
No way.
Great story, characters and setting, some of the most complex and clever environment design in the series, still the only classic RE in 3D which allows it some unique tricks, and there's a ton to see and do.
I'd easily put it over 3 and 0.

Code Veronica I desperately want a remake of personally, I've thought for a while CV needs a remake more than any other entry in the franchise (for my personal taste).
I love the settings of CV (I love Rockfort Island and the Arctic Base as settings), I love the villains, I love the music, but I think the 3D of Code Veronica has not aged well and undermines the more 'artistic' locations with some bland realization of the art direction in many cases, and the actual gameplay is filled with so many little frustrations that really add up for me until it began negatively impacting my experience with the game/ Plus frankly I think Code Veronica misses out on a lot of opportunities to do cool things with its design.
I feel Code Veronica could be made an AMAZING game in a remake, plus there's a lot of aspects that can easily be built upon and expanded on (from things like the Paris Facility at the start having a playable segment before Rockfort, to the monsters of CV being able to adapt well to a RE4-esque camera better than they did Fixed Angles I think, some scenes like the Chris vs Wesker fights could become gameplay segments, and there's a LOT of scrapped content from Code Veronica which we have concept art for and ideas expanded already in Darkside Chronicles (such as Alfred making a trap obstacle course to overcome in his madness, or the extended fight against Mutated Steve), that I think there's a lot of content to work with), plus with a better realized artistic direction, horror element, and building on the enjoyable semi-over-the-topness of Code Veronica and the horror aspect could make a highly memorable experience.
I'm REALLY hoping Code Veronica remake happens eventually, though if REmake 2 does well it'll be REmake 3 next. I'm very happy REmake 2 is happening, and that REmake 2 almost certainly will happen, but hoping Code Veronica doesn't get forgotten here just because it's not a numbered title.

A CVX remake can definitely happen if the demand is big enough. It'd be done after RE3 though, obviously.
