The weird thing about RE2 menu screen is how unconnected to the game it can feel. I mean, the inside of the RPD would be more fitting.
The electricty is dead by then. So no more light in most of the city.
This would be fucking awesome if true
I personally would've liked at least choices like before. If they're "hidden", that's fine too I guess.
Eh I felt the RE2remake DLC was pretty substantial. Sure they were "what if" non canon scenarios, but they felt like legitimate additional content if you ask me.
I could've sworn you could still do it in the game. Or maybe i'm getting that mixed up with RE2 or RE1
My hope and suspicion is that we'll get a RE2remake director's cut when the next gen consoles comes out. Adds legitimate A/B Scenario zapping system for RE2 like the original, adding substantial content akin to the original RE2 and a randomizer mode.
My guess is that it'll be DLC. Mercenaries was such an integral aspect of RE3 and the future games, I find it hard to believe it not being added. My guess is that they didn't want to detract from RE Resistance since they know folks will play that over Resistance if given the choice.
Pretty sure that it's in RE2. I remember Claire playing soccer with some zombies head.
No live selections, hm. But what if we can decide on our own without actually selecting stuff from a list? Like for exmaple if they (hopefully!) keep the iconic scene with Nemesis in front of the RPD. Instead of freezing the game and letting us choose via live selection if Jill should fight or run into the police station, we can do that on our own? Either stay outside, fight him or just run into the building. They could do the same for the other live selections as well. Well, maybe not for all of them. I can think of a couple where they would need prompts and stuff.
Thats not substantial. Substantial would be a paid expansion, or actual new modes. Not 4 minisodes with no replay value beyond going for masks involving playable reused models. There was literally nothing new added outside the masks, which can only be worn in said mode.
Eh I mean I'd settle for it, but it's just not the same. Having the choice on screen put more weight(as minimal as most may have been) to what decision you'll make. Also adding the replayability was cool i felt. You were in some new locations you otherwise wouldn't have been able to visit and some aspects of the game you wouldn't have been able to visit as well. Even if one route is considered non-canon vs the other being canon was still sufficient enough. Just having a clearly stated choice felt a bit more empowering and fear inducing as well. The little panic moments of oh shit what should I do!?, i don't have much time! i felt were great moments and a staple to the game's identity.

100%. Total bummer that Mercs is gone.
so much for my media blackout. Game is shaping up nicely and Nemesis looks like a pain in the ass, as he should be.
Ok substantial may have been overstating it a bit. I did feel it was reasonable for free dlc though. If we were given the choice I would have wanted some side story dlc of course.
I always found it odd that in RE3 they changed it so Jill's kick doesn't decapitate them. Maybe they thought it was unrealistic, because the game is still very gory.
Code Veronica has to be the worst for the lack of gore though.
Yeah, I agree. The randomness with some of the items you got also added to the great replaybility of the game. I'm just saying that it would be better than nothing, but of course that moment of panic "oh shit what to do" definitely was great and will sadly be lost. Because even if you get the chance to choose without the live selection now, you might not even know about it. Some can be a bit more obvious (like the RPD choice), others not (like the clock tower one) without the live selection. Of course, it that couldn't lead to any narrative changes because they said they don't want to put any in.

RE5 is pretty bad. At least going from RE4. So much was pointlessly toned back on the gore front.
They put the chainsaw dude back in, then censored the decapitation!
I don't know if RE6 was better. Never played it.
2nd run is just the same. you get ada instead of sherry and a new ending, but other than that..
The worst thing about RE6 is its story imo.
It's absolute stupid non-sense, Simmons and Carla are trash-tier villains.
And its filled with plot-holes. Chris disappeared in China for 6 month and you tell me neither Jill or Claire went looking for him ?

Just checked the gameplay footage out for the first time and I still remain completely stunned at how Capcom has made the best comeback of any developer in recent years. This looks so goddamn incredible
The story of how one man was so horny for Ada it lead to the destruction of like half the world.
I like RE6 but man even as someone who likes cheesy non sense stories the main thru line stupid as hell.
I do like the character arcs for jake/sherry and Chris/piers though.
They are zombies, they are Raccoon City citizens, they already looked good in RE2 - no need to get rid of them just for the sake of it. I just hope they add some new ones.
I thought Alex Wesker was very well-done in Revelations 2. But yeah, someone with the Wesker name should've been reserved for the mainline titles, just given the history there.
Simmons, the national security advisor. He creates an Ada clone, Carla. Carla causes trouble.
Alex Wesker is absolutely amazingly executed villain. She's frightening, intelligent, haunting and I really hope she'll be back in Rev 3 or RE8.
This is me pretty much. I thought they already confirmed the worm is in!
Yeah I love how the power in the city is out. Makes it very unnerving.

Good. Only RE2 and RE3 really needed a remake. Now focus on new titles or reboot other franchises.
Code Veronica needs it IMO.
So far we've had great games remade to be great modern games. Imagine a game that was absolute garbage in its day being made great now. It'd be a like a new game.
People saying it will be a 6 hours game, and I'm here searching and clearing every fucking rooms.
12-15 hours game for me!

there's actually more than that. For one whether you're doing 2nd or 1st both characters have some unique aspects about their campaign beyond the alternate playable characters. So the start of the 2nd run campaign is unique to the 2nd run & the character you pick, you get some lightly remixed versions of the same puzzles, your progression through the RPD is somewhat unique to the 2nd run & the character you pick and there's some other smaller differences. With Leon once you hit the sewers his 1st & 2nd run campaigns are basically the same and same goes for Claire once you get to the Sherry section. Also the 2nd run campaign has the additional final boss fight.
it's funny you say that because that's how I feel about RE3. This remake will most likely make me a fan of RE3 as I previously hated RE3. It was easily my least favorite of the classic tank controls RE games.
Alex in Rev2 is honestly done better than Wesker in 5(mostly), RE6 and anything in RE7
Rev2 is the true RE6 or at least RE7.
Sad they didn't give it a budget it deserves but honestly a sequel to it that brought Chris, Jill and Rebecca in would be my preferred series conclusion.
Revelations 2 was seriously fantastic. I loved it so much.... and Alex Wesker is amazing. I agree that she should have been a main villain though.
