Resident Evil 2 Remake Gameplay Videos & Discussion
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
finally finished REmake last night - started a new file and played all the way through in one sitting. 8:57:58 final time. Such a great game.
You can probably shave 6 hours off of that time now for a trophy.
You're most welcome OP king.
Current gen versions are better, though it's not the best they added proper surround sound into the mix. Managed to bring back more effects missing that the Gamecube version had.
The resolution is higher as well as the framerate at 1080/60fps.
The game looks more cleaner overall. There are some texture improvements too but nothing like that PC mod.
Yes for sure, they did a Steam re-release that's way better than the original release which the texture mod is using. That version was based on the PS2 version. Avoid the Ubisoft one and go for the Ultimate HD Edition.
But what if his partner wears a muscle suit and a wig for Chris cosplay?
I mean, so is Claire if we're being kinda honest. Especially after Code Veronica. Still love 'er.
I don't think her character is totally "ruined" or anything. It's just a dumb character scene for her. You can show her panic and concern without undermining one of her signature character traits. And the fact that Moira, a hot-headed teenager who has every reason to be MORE out of control than Claire in that scene, is the soothing voice of reason for Natalia, makes for an unfortunate juxtaposition.

I haven't played Rev 2 since when it first came out (and that too on PS3) even though I also re-bought it later on a PS4 sale. RE4 is a game I play almost every year so I'm more excited to return to Revelations 2 to in 1080p/60 FPS before RE2make comes out.
Yeah, it's not like she has a little sister or something...
I know it's a minor nit-pick with how the RE2 logo is presented, but it gives me crazy: Why is the "2" white? When it was first revealed, the logo was shown abbreviated as "RE2" in all red, then expands into "Resident Evil 2" with the "R" & "E" still red...but the "2" turned white for no reason. The logo feels off-balanced. It should be like this:
Maybe they're specifically referencing the ubiquitous moniker "REmake" by highlighting those two letters?I know it's a minor nit-pick with how the RE2 logo is presented, but it gives me crazy: Why is the "2" white?

Could be read as Resident Evil 2: RE, referring to REmake, REdo, etc.
Pretty sure you're right, especially considering the JP title is Biohazard RE:2.
I really wish they would have gone with the JP title for the western release too. Would have made sense, imo.
Biohazard > Resident Evil
In Asia we say ''Bio'' instead of RE which is lot more iconic and recognizable imo, also Bio sounds much cooler than RE.
Bio4....I mean come on just listen to that.

This is even more wrong than when this thread was saying good things about Code Veronica.
It's due to it being near impossible to get the name rights of Biohazard in the West because of many different things using the name for Biohazard including a band and a DOS game, at the time.
I don't think they'd want to bother with all that in this day and age when Resident Evil is very much established by now. A lot of the RE user base probably does not know the Japanese version is called Biohazard
I only found out Evil Within was called Psycho Break by chance because I walked into an import shop.
I like BioHazard more because with the series evolution that name made more sense, but I do love Resident Evil.
Their branding of 7 was strange when they added Biohazard / Resident Evil as a subtitle to the game. I liked it though. I find it even weirder they've done it for RE2make in Japan but not here?

Bought Rev2 on Switch in anticipation for the remake, its as rough as i remember but still a charming game with a silly b horror tone, a few strong bosses , creepy environments and solid design all around.
Honestly the reason its so beloved around here is because we didn't had a RE game like this after the 5, 6 and Rev1 combo that felt more like (very bad) action sci fi movies than the self aware b-c horror setting the series was known for, so it felt fresh and familiar.
Looking back glad to see it wasn't accident and Capcom was not afraid to change the series again , best case we would had a low budget Rev3 along with another questionable action movie re7 :/

I finally bought a 1070 ti, I guess I'm set on this, DMC5 and Death Stranding running at butter smooth 60fps at max settings, assuming they don't shit the bed with the ports.
RE4 on PC is the most definitive port of the game, would be even better with the texture mod, but it's still the best version without it.
Tbh living in such a rotten world as the RE universe would fill anyone with cynicism and mental issues, the people who can sleep at night its because they got so used to seeing virus infected monsters everywhere its part of the culture
Was looking forward to this but maybe its the footage I've seen (although watched 4K IGN version) but not impressed with what I've seen so far. Would love a fixed perspective option as an extra!
I wonder if Brad Vickers is going to make it to this remake. It is a pretty cool easter egg in the original how you get the special key from him.
Same. I prefer the stupid shit in the more action-heavy RE games. The final battle in an active volcano in RE5 is peak Resident Evil to me.
Wesker might as well be a different character in RE5 and it's a change I love.
As someone who played RE3 before RE2, I found it especially awesome. I like to believe the Nemesis is the reason zombie Brad is so strong.
They should remake this easter egg by having the player arrive in front of the police station and seeing zombie Brad. You kill him just like in the original and walk up to him. As you're about to examine the body you hear it: "STARS... " Nemesis appears and it's time to survive.
Right??? I'm playing Rev2 raid mode a lot lately with my roommate and we are having a blast. Can't beat the Claire + Moira combo beating the shit out of zombies yet again.
I was asking the same question to myself yesterday.
I prefer Smoking-is-Cool-Chris.
"I got a shotgun!"
Just random question... what do you all think would be a good counter system in a more grounded RE like this? I'm an RE6 fan, but that was a brawler and counters were too easy. REmake tied it to an item, which was fine there, but I'm not a huge fan of super-limited, item-based escapes tbh. Would rather it be gameplay, but how do you avoid it being too easy to pull off? How do you maintain tension and risk while letting the player have some more agency in avoiding enemies? Can you? I've been thinking about it quite a bit. My thought is to increase player mobility by adding some dodges or offensive pushes, but also make enemies faster, more unpredictable, and swarmy. idk.
Just thinking about how you iterate on the RE4 gameplay they're adapting here. For when RE3make eventually happens. lol

I think that's more to show that Moira is really good with kids due to her own sister, and to start giving her layers other than being pissed off at Barry.
Exactly what I've been thinking all along... and it looks now MUCH MUCH better!I know it's a minor nit-pick with how the RE2 logo is presented, but it gives me crazy: Why is the "2" white? When it was first revealed, the logo was shown abbreviated as "RE2" in all red, then expands into "Resident Evil 2" with the "R" & "E" still red...but the "2" turned white for no reason. The logo feels off-balanced. It should be like this:
This is exactly what is happening, as evidenced by the Japanese title and logo of the game, Biohazard RE: 2.
The "RE:" moniker is very popular in Japan to indicate a remake (KH Re: Chain of Memories, KH Re: Coded, etc etc), and they're highlighting the "Resident Evil" name at the same time. Honestly it's as smart as the logos for RE7/Bio7.
