that would make sense if it were a new game. It isnt its a remake. Keyword here is remake."We have a game for people like you. It's called "Resident Evil 2."
You know what Leon reminds me of? Might be wrong, but his design resembles a bit closer to the 1.5 prototype artwork they had going for him. Final in game model for that version did look closer to the final, but artwork seems more on point.
Plus, I have a feeling given Marvin seems to be alive, they might actually be including some elements of 1.5 in this version.

Okay, conference is over so I will write some now. Firstly, I feel people will get a better idea on the game as it's playable at E3, so we'll probably be getting some gameplay/impressions soon. Strangely, this trailer is not the thing I saw, which confuses me since it looks worse than what I had seen.
I also knew that the core team of the game finished development this month actually. There's still people working on it mostly for polish, but it's mostly done.... Buuuuuuuuuuut I think I was misinformed a bit. I have a solid guess on something here
Anyways, as I've said over time, it's OTS angles primarily, they completely redid the RE Engine's lighting and shadow system, this is a horror game that has classic RE features. I also know the game has an option for fixed camera angles, but they didn't include it in the trailer. ORIGINALLY, when REmake 2 first started development they actually just recreated RE2, original fixed cameras and all, and just recreated location. They ultimately went for an OTS style, but kept Fixed Cameras and First-Person in the coding. However, they knew many fans had been waiting a long time for Fixed Angles, so they continued work on the Fixed Angles they started, they needed more polish last I heard, but the game had time for polish. I DID NOT hear they continued the First-Person Mode, which I think you see in the trailer (it's hard to say since frankly, the trailer has so little gameplay), but it looks like they might've.
I expected more of a gameplay trailer, but I assume they might've delayed it more than I heard for more polish and maybe features, to be seen. There will be gameplay coming as it is playable this E3 though.
So, a few things I can talk about which I've been waiting for this to be revealed to do so. Firstly, OTS IS THE PRIMARY CAMERA, but this is a horror game. In fact, I think they decided to make this reveal less a 'hype' trailer, and more to show it's a horror game. It may even very well end up being the scariest RE game, they're doing some interesting things mechanically and stylistically. They redid the lighting engine since RE7's lighting was flat, and they wanted 'darkness' for RE2, one of the driving forces for RE2 was the theme of 'darkness', which Capcom has always sorta' associated with RE2. It's a game at its heart about tragedy and characters having to overcome a city gone to hell, and from that angle you can see they definitely tried to show the horror aspect in this trailer. I think they tried not to show much gameplay in the reveal since people might think it was an action game if they saw guns, but want to establish early this is a horror game.
The thing I've heard a LOT is this game is a reimagining in many ways. RE2 is there, but this game is MUCH longer than RE2 originally was. There's a Leon and Claire campaign, and last I heard (but this may have changed) they got rid of the A/B scenario, but then they've delayed it a bit so who knows?
What I've heard is that this Remake is around 80% new stuff, 20% old stuff (as opposed to REmake's 70% new stuff, 30% old stuff). A lot of locations have been reimagined. They didn't show off much of the city actually, but the city was completely reinvented at one point in the game, they had the opening hour of the game almost done but then scrapped it and redid it again to improve it. Several RE2 monsters weren't shown, but the game does have enemies like the dogs, giant spiders, you briefly saw a Licker, but all the RE2 enemies are in the game. There's some new enemies as well, but I think they want to hold off showing them off. Ada is playable in the game, but they didn't show her here.

Right in the middle of writing this, they released a new trailer. I actually think they got trailers mixed up, but will watch then write more:
I'll write more once I watch this, but want to see the new trailer first.

Resident Evil 5 is the best mainline Resident Evil game and i drink these tears
also dude.... its a remake, calm down
Why was this trailer so much better than the one they showed during the conference? Seemed like they mixed up the videos, or should have shown this trailer with some Mr. X thrown in to spice it up.
I was going hysterical too much to actually notice but they didn't actually show any gameplay huh? I'm sure all the footage we saw was in game and it will like that when we play it but I'm sure I remember seeing a true gameplay clip of Leon running in an ots view, guess I imagined it in my hype.
Anyway I need more, more, more, more, more. Oh my god I am so god damn excited.

Unbelievable! This trailer is fucking amazing. Should have shown this one instead.
Agreed. This is much better and gives you a bunch of gameplay shots too. Loving it.
Only times I've felt like this was with the FF7 remake and MGS 2 reveal trailers.
Holy fucking shit it's better than anything I've imagined.
Yeah lots of gameplay in there. Seems either OTS or FPS from the point of view of Claire maybe? Otherwise it seems to go the Darkside Chronicles route and make it all about Leon.
Not a massive fan of the OTS camera but everything else was on point and it looked like they're keeping the horror aspect so you're not just running around kung fuing zombies. I hope the rumour that it will have both cameras in it are true though.
EDIT: Just saw the second trailer, this is legit hook it into my veins.

Wow they were dumb not to go with this trailer instead, looks so much cooler.
Everything in the bolded is the greatest news I could have ever heard, im so fucking excited.
The greatest remake in gaming history says otherwise?
It's fucking Resident Evil 6. Jesus.
If true, I'm really unsure about this. The zombie counts and speed seen in the trailers just does not seem compatible with the original style.
They should have shown this first. This is more in line with what I was hoping for. I still don't like Leon's new look and voice though.
Lol. If this isn't a joke or a meme, then this is absolutely embarassing.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Need to see gameplay now
This looks so. fucking. great.
RE2make is the best 'surprise' from E3. It was a big game for me as a kid.

Looks amazing. Love that we have such a, relatively, short window until release.
I don't think the faces look terrible at all. In fact, I really like how both Claire and Leon look. Leon looks like a younger version of himself compared to RE4, and Claire looks different but her outfit does justice to what she wore in RE2. I love it. If it puts a slightly new spin on a few things, I can accept that. It's a remake.
Oh, and I'm still expecting fixed angles. Don't disappoint us Dusk Golem!
