Resident Evil 2 Demo Impressions Thread [Demo Spoilers Only]
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
Well it's your first handgun in the game after all :)
Thanks!
Interesting how people can look - no, even just glance - at some footage and think of this as just 'a remake.' There's never quite been a remake done on this scale.
An earlier preview said that zombies stay in the state you leave them in, so if it seems like they're taking a lot of bullets to die, simply shoot off their knees, which effectively neuters them. Makes running by them a lot easier and hell they might just end up becoming obstacles to slow down Mr. X later.
is it 1 demo per system or 1 demo per regional account on the same ps4? i have US and New Zealand accounts.
I'm guessing MSRP is 60 $ / € but most suppliers here (Benelux) offer the game sub €45,-
Really liked the demo (PSPro). Coming off of DMC5 on the One X I have faith that Capcom has their shit together engine wise. Gonna check out PC later, sad there won't be 21:9 support(?)
Only gripe I had was that the shotgun lacked oomph.
It's not a remaster... and also not a one to one Remake.
This is brand new game and re-imagining of RE2 1998 build from the ground up.
Are you serious???
The original game had cutscenes though! What was Capcom supposed to do? get rid of all the cutscenes?? omg -_-
...some people are just weird.
This is silly/borderline trolling.
This is essentially a new game that plays completely differently..
Does the demo spoil much of the game? I have it pre-ordered but haven't watched any trailers so far.
Wondering if I should play it or wait for the full version

Time to elaborate this post.
Okay, so i was playing headset on. Oh darling it went creepy from 0 to 100 so fast.. so fast it seems my heart rate dropped to -1
There is nothing wrong with my brightness setting because i dont have hdr, but it is dark as hell. When i entered a dark corridor, it felt like i was playing a different game
The white noise reminds me of PT (not portable toilet). The crackling sound in the background sometimes startled me, made me wonder if i was alone in the room or not. The more i went deeper, the more i imagined sounds. It's literaly pscyho break
You .. do realize this doesn't play anything like the original right ?
It's a brand new engine, it's a brand new combat system, it's a drastic overhaul of content from the original .. even the developers shy from calling it a simple remake, they call it a new entry in the franchise based on the work put in it.
Seems weird that someone would complain about 5 seconds of crawling through a hole (at least I think that's what he's talking about, it's the only part that occurs during actual gameplay)...I mean...do we really need to control Leon for that? The original game "took control away" from you to open every single door in the game, I think a few seconds of animation to get through tight spaces is forgivable when the entirety of the police station can be explored seamlessly.
LOL true.
Leon is limited in what he can do, but his controls are tight...So if you get bit, it's basically your fault.
But were you not aware that Resident Evil is like the biggest name in horror gaming beforehand?
That's honestly like picking up Street Fighter and thinking "whoa, this is a fighting game?"
The demo doesn't spoil anything. It's a very small chunk from very early on in the game. You just meet one NPC and do some minor exploring.
The demo can be beaten in like 3 minutes and 30 seconds. It really isn't as big of a slice as some are thinking of the final game. Hell, some stuff that's in the final game you can't ecen mess with in the demo.
I know.. i know. That post is actually a reference to the first trailer. The first trailer makes it seem like it is action game (like last of us.. not that horror but just a bit horror). But when you try it yourself, it becomes different. It feels like it is very creepy. I kept closing my eyes with my hands but it was hard because i couldnt hold the controller properly
Buttt i never played re2 before. Because i was not born yet
Yeah you seem confused on what this game actually is, It's not a simple "slap some higher res textures on it and call it a day" remaster, it's a full re-imagining of the game.
There were big ass spiders in the original. about the new one, no idea
Probably, definitely were in the OG we haven't seen them in this one yet though.
but considering the
Giant Croc
Yes, 1998 version had big ass spiders. Don't really see any reason why this wouldn't.
It wasn't that deep.
Unless you've lived in a cave, you'd know what resident evil is a horror game.
Sick no u burn. Truly roasted here.
Spiders were Resident Evil, NOT number 2.
Haven't read basically any of the other impressions here, but I just finished up on a PS4 Pro, and whilst I don't think the demo quite carries the atmosphere of RE7, let me just say that it plays like a fucking dream. I haven't encountered a 3D game that feels this fluid and intuitive on a console controller in a long, long time.
I don't remember Zombies were so hard to kill in the original... I mean, 4 or 5 headshots at least with the pistol... Is it me? Or am I missing something?
Very disapointed with the technical goodies. HDR is totally broken, brightness / black levels are a mess, and the picture is very blurry on OneX (1080/60fps?)...

It's intentional to make the zombies more of a threat, and I love it. It would be kinda lame if every zombie went down in a single headshot.
Try to neuter the zombies rather than wasting ammo killing them completely, remove their legs/arms and render them less of a threat.
This is actually one thing I am not looking forward to in this coming remake. Realistic looking giant spiders will scare the shit out of me.You sure?
Just finished it. I think I'm gonna wait until I get a new PC to play this (likely around May-June time) because damn does it look 'soft' on the Xbox One X; I also much prefer a mouse and keyboard for this kind of game (either that or the head-tracking of the PSVR lol).
As for the game itself I can tell that it's gonna be great. It feels so much nicer to play than the old 3rd person RE game I've played and the atmosphere is impeccable. This is coming from someone who's never played the original btw.

Zombies took a few handgun shots to kill in the original, but you could only aim up and down.
nooooooooOOOOOOYou sure?
I don't know if i can handle it. what a freakin bummer dude
Wait, weren't there going to be options for resolution and framerate? I thought there would be a choice between 4K/30fps and a lower resolution but with 60fps?
And yes, the black levels are horrible here. Wtf?

Few other thoughts:
- I seen people saying that ammo is pretty scarce, but at one point I had a full mag and 62 in reserves. Maybe it's just a demo thing, but it's way too much.
- I also seen people say that normal enemies can be difficult even on there own, but I don't get that at all and I'm not even that good. I never struggled really.
- The station is done extremely well. It's lit perfectly.
