Resident Evil 2 "98 Classic" Costumes Announced

[Dusk Golem]

Announced on the Resident Evil 2 Launch Party event, it's part of a special Japanese promotion starting on January 25th so you get these costumes if you buy special promotion items (for example, there will be PSN Point Cards that give you the costume for free), but be made free for everyone on March 22nd.

No exact platforms mentioned, but maybe safe to assume on all of them despite the PS4 card showing above, just that it exists and will be for special events and promotions, but then free for everyone starting March 22nd.

UPDATE:

Those on Steam are probably interested in this:



Also available on Xbox and PS4 hitting as well.

 

[BreakAtmo]

Yesssss

 

[Fat4all]

I always hoped more games would do stuff like this after MGS4/Ground Zeroes

 

[Lynchian Anomaly]

Yooooo. This'll be my main costume for speed runs.

 

[TRUE ORDER]

They look nice!!
This brings back memories of the alt costumes from RE6

 

[FiXalaS]

Beautiful

 

[Deleted member 1726]

Lol that's pretty cool.

Yeah, Mario Odyssey did it too. It's a really cool nod to the longtime fans.

 

[Encephalon]

30 fucking dollars!? ...

Edit: I am dumb, especially since it clearly says it's a special gift if you charge your account using the card.

 

[Nakenorm]

What.. Paid at launch but free later? That's weird.

Edit: and 30 dollars!? Nope, I'm out.
Edit2: okay so it's not 30dollars? Still weird.

 

[kurahador]

Aww...I want the old costume fitting the new model, not the whole old model.

 

[JediMPG]

Those look realllyyyy nice.

Although that's a strange pricing strategy. Paid at launch but free two months later? Usually it's the opposite

 

[Tambini]

Paid first but free later, you think it'd be the opposite

 

[Dusk Golem]

30 fucking dollars!?

Nah, just showed there was special RE2 themed PSN cards for some reason, it will be paid DLC on launch but not that expensive (though no price was given), but then become free for everyone on March 22nd.

 

[Kromeo]

I won't need an excuse to replay this but there it is anyway

 

[Pascal]

Yooooo. This'll be my main costume for speed runs.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, that's a perfect speedrunning costume.

 

[NightShift]

Looks cool but why the fuck would you pay for it when it's going to be free so soon? I'm not that crazy.

 

[Fat4all]

I like the idea of pay if you want it, but you can get it later for free, for costumes at least

 

[Dullahan]

Oh shit, that's awesome.

 

[-PyramidSong]

So free after March 22 ? I'll wait.

 

[Mighty_Bison]

I will not buy this

Spoiler

I absolutely will though

Oh, if you charge your account with this generic card you can get them free. Please ignore my moment of stupidity.

 

[silva1991]

That's pretty cool.

MGSV did it too

 

[vestan]

that's dope

plenty of games have though? these are just a few off the top of my head. it's something i'm all for tbh.

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

Give it to me, give it to me now!

Wish they extended it to other models like the zombies or Mr. X. It would be even more fun.

 

[Rygar 8Bit]

Playing with those models with the original soundtrack at some point for sure.

 

[Tizoc]

Eh we could've modded it in on PC, but cool that console peeps could get them :3

The costumes will be included in the RE2 themed PSN cards, that's why they showed them. Probably not paid DLC.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Updated the OP with some clarified info, it's a special promotion event. There will be things like RE2-themed PSN cards that include these costumes for free, and be other methods to get them early, but will be made free for everyone on March 22nd.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

lol that's pretty funny. Odd choice about making it free after but not complaining.

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

that's dope

Don't forget this beauty.

 

[Deleted member 51266]

Well, those few people who claim that they prefer the original's faces will finally have something to use, I guess.

 

[scarybore]

This was something I was hoping for, it's a neat bonus for the old fans and should make for some hilarious moments in cutscenes. Will wait for it to be free though. :p

 

[Fat4all]

Click to shrink...

i didn't mean it hasn't happened since then, more that it hasn't been a normal inclusion when i thought it would be a more frequent inclusion since then

 

[Adamska]

This isn't even the first time this series did this.

 

[Guymelef]

Sorry Capcom, that's not classic "costume" OG PSX models were more detailed.

 

[Kapryov]

The important question is if you can see these costumes in cutscenes.
It's a deal breaker.

 

[Mr. Von Touchdown]

:/

Monkey's Paw for me. I wanted these remodelled, but I'm happy for the people who wanted just straight ports as well.

 

[Dusk Golem]

There's unlockable "modern" versions of their classic costumes already in the game they've previously announced if that's what you want.

(I hope they give Claire more of an undershirt before release, though).

Those look pretty much exactly like the PS1 models though. Are you talking about the art renders?

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

IN MY VEINS!

Claire without the shirt just looks wrong :(

 

[Deleted member 16876]

I need one for Ada, Hunk and Tofu.

This type of skins are awesome.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Yep, I'll be needing these!

Spoiler

As much as I love them, though, I'm in no rush, so I'll be waiting until March 22, I guess.

What difference am I supposed to see here?

 

[Couscous]

Looking pretty good!

 

[giancarlo123x]

The goty gets more goty somehow.

 

[mindsale]

Nice, love the polygonal costumes in games.
