Resident Evil 2 Remake

[Ivan]

What is G1, G2, G3, etc?

William Birkin's transformations. They worked as bosses in the original game, spreaded into the two scenarios.

Third form looks like some Devil May Cry cut content lol

Still, I adore RE2 and it's my favorite of the series. My enthusiasm has deflated after seeing some demos. Will acquire when it's 75% off, I got better shit to play

Darkside chronicles is more of a faithful remake than the actual re2 remake

DAMN THAT CAKE COME WITH CANDLES?

 

[agentorange]

Why do we hate Remake2 now? Somebody explain pls.

"now"

Typical attempt to make it seem like people arbitrarily started hating the game only recently to be contrarian or something. Many people have been wary or unreceptive of the game since it's announcement for a variety of reasons.

I started coming around to be more optimistic towards the game when it sounded like it would basically be a graphical update to the original game, with a new camera perspective but minimal changes to core aspects of the original. But as more information came out about the game, and most recently with this playable demo it's been revealed that the game is an overall dumbed down, messy, incompetent remake of what is generally considered a classic game. I'd say I'm surprised that more people haven't turned against the game, but people are idiots, especially fanboys.

I'm guessing they removed the creatures to make it less campy and more serious... or they were just lazy, treating it as a demo for future RE remakes.

Why so? Capcom has been confident in their marketing, they've even released a demo that people really like. In essence, no one will turn against the game unless you're a fag that doesn't like over the shoulder or if you're like Ash and complain about stupid shit like the UI being a different color from the original game or different color palette.

has more variety, detail, and mechanical depth than ever before.

What does this even mean? It's spammed like a dozen times in that blurb. Has more visual detail because it's a game made with 2018 technology instead of 1998? It remains to be seen if these enemies will be as visually distinct and memorable, which is what matters. And I doubt they will be. Detail for the sake of detail is pointless, messy, and ugly.

Variety? It seems like the zombies have more variety in their visuals, yeah. But how exactly is a unique boss monster going to have more "variety"?

Mechanical depth. I assume this is mistaking sheer complexity, or "stuff happening," for depth. The fact that a zombie now has a billion different animations because they are using some kind of advanced physics system doesn't give it more "depth." There's nothing deep about a zombie tripping over another zombie, it's stupid. The original RE games had real depth because the design was honed to a sharp edge. By playing the game over and over you could learn and anticipate zombies movements, attack patterns, spawn conditions, etc. It rewarded game knowledge and skill. A bunch of random shit happening constantly because it's all left up to various advanced physics systems isn't "deep." Having more zombies on screen in itself does not add "depth." The fact that you can blow the limbs off of zombies isn't "deep," it's nothing more than a juvenile visual gimmick.

If the excuse is less camp, they are about twenty years late since RE has always been campy as fuck and that's what makes it endearing. But even still, giant spiders is such an easy scare for most people considering how it's a common phobia. Imagine with the lighting and good looking graphics how terrifying they could have made it, hearing them skitter all around and causing you to whip around with your flashlight in paranoia, would've been so good. The webspinners/Black Tiger in REmake worked very well and looked like beasts.

But if I had to guess, they'll probably include the missing enemies like crows/giant spiders in REmake 3 to show "Capcom listens to their fans" or some shit like that.

 

[vota DC]

Crows in game but not enemies mean you can play as Saruman or Radagast?

 

[sullynathan]

have you compared the small birkin fight showed so far to the one from the original game? Difference is night and day.


The environmental destruction and increased combat speed and control of the character makes this rather simple boss fight far more exciting in the newer game than it was in the original where all you did was fight in a near 2D plane dodging a slow lumbering zombie that can't hit because it is far too easy to dodge all his attacks.

How can you not see this yet it is plain for any human being with eyes to see? This isn't even a 2019 vs 1998 thing, because making the monster more aggressive could've been done 20 years ago but that's not the case, now is it?

or they'll crow like they did in previous games. Difference will be you can't shoot them and kill them now. Not like they were a menace before ,they died in one hit.

I really hope this is good. RE2 is my favourite RE, and I pre-ordered this which is a thing I don't do often.
If this sucks, fuck you Capcom.

You should've wasted that money on Devil May Cry 5.
The only good Capcom game since Dragon's Dogma.

I pre-ordered three games this year: RE2, DMCV and Sekiro.

 

[PrettyDeadman]

RE2MAKE is going to be AMAZING!

 

[Steezus]

Game allows the player to shoot off limbs in order to slow down enemies. Physics engine makes enemies harder to hit, which makes for good survival horror gameplay, especially when facing multiple enemies.

Clearly autoaim is a more in-depth mechanic than whatever you describe.

 

[J_C]

weaponized autism.

This phrase alone made my day. XD

DarkUnderlord should make it a tagline: RPG Codex, the place with weaponized autism.

 

[Steezus]

To be fair, switching over to type C aiming in RE2 to enable auto aim is more a more fulfilling mechanic than acctually shooting shit for retardos like agentorange.

 

[Tacgnol]

Hopefully the spider removal thing is bullshit.

Giant photo realistic infected spiders would have been rather horrifying. The ones in Remake were also rather creepy.

i just replayed RE2 on pc, where autoaim is disabled on normal and higher difficulties. Mr X's final form without autoaim was a nightmare! Thank god for Ada's bazooka.

That's being said, disabled autoaim gave me the actual challenge, because the game is too easy. Especially when compared to other classic RE games.

Deliberately choosing a video of a no damage playthrough in which someone who has mastered the game is able to beat the boss without taking a hit, and trying to use this to say the game is too easy. And then linking a comparison video of a stage demo where they are deliberately trying to make the game look as dramatic as possible. You are pathetic and disingenuous.

No. I deliberately chose a video showing the first birkin fight, because we only have footage of the first birkin fight in the RE2 reimagining. Dumbass. Why would I pick a video of one of the end fights of RE2 when the remake hasn't shown that yet?

 

[sullynathan]

Oh god, is that Leon? Perhaps now those complaining that Leon is ugly or "doesn't look the same" can feel like it was 1998.

Spoiler

yes it will be free after March 22nd

yes, you can unlock Modern HD versions of these costumes in the game

I mean, I kinda feel you on this, but at the same time, missing out on 4 spiders down in the sewers is hardly something I really care about. RE1 at least had a spider boss fight, but RE2 spiders were basically non-lethal wall decoration. There's an argument to be made that they could've expanded on the spiders, put them in more than just two rooms, etc., but as long as all the other enemy types are fun to fight, I don't really mind.

Huh, can't you switch the control scheme to type C on PC? I always thought that was possible on all ports, but maybe it's exclusive to the dual shock edition.

I won't play the game with the shitty RE2 models, but Leon and especially Claire look super dumb. There's no denying that.

That's about it.

Not sure about original PC version, I played sourcenext with "classic rebirth" patch. There was an option to force autoaim on every mode, but i decided against it.

launch Live stream



Resident Evil 2: The Ghost Survivor Announced

A free DLC releasing after launch for REmake 2. it's a new game mode where you can play as multiple characters, it'll be a mode with randomized elements, an in-game shop (not micro transactions, earn points in-game by performing well), and should be very replayable they say. Hints it might be like a randomizor/rogue mode, but no 100% at this time. Robert Kendo, a USS Member and Katherine (mayor's daughter) are playable in it, more characters to be revealed.

hree volumes, the first one will hit at an unknown date, have Kendo, a USS Member, and Katherine playable. The mode may have a loose "alternate reality" story mode and randomized rogue-like mode, but it's a bit unclear right now. Confirmed this first volume will include a brand new enemy that's not in RE2 normally

 

[Wunderbar]

RE7 had something like that, "Ethan must die" mode. It was pretty bad.
