The Resident Evil Thread

Before that is even cogitated, I want them to conclude the current timeline. It just irks me when something is left unfinished.

Still, I can't imagine a reboot.

 

[psylockolussus]

They aren't gonna reboot when they are remaking Re2 just like they did with Re1 a decade ago. And word on the street is Re3 remake is already under development. Capcom loves this franchise and they are gonna keep it alive with remakes and also continuing stories set after the previous games.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

These remakes might be their reboot. They are changing the mythos notably with how the story is handled in the remake, and you can guess which version will be the one they take to cannon.

 

[psylockolussus]

I don't see them as replacements as Capcom still acknowledges the original Re1/2, but I see them as a grand updated version of the games.

I'm curious how will this affect Re8, I absolutely loathe first person perspective and if they are going to bring that back, at least give us the option to use the third person perspective.

I'm so looking forward to the remake. I even pre-ordered it which is something I never do.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Spoiler

You can use the crane in a fight, that never happened in the old game.
Stage 2 G in the old game is the one on the elevator as scenario 'A' character is heading toward Umbrella labs. I wonder where will we face him in this one.

Considering that Capcom has hired a true army of developers that includes a massive 800-strong team to remake Resident Evil 2 (to show you the scope of the upcoming title, about 600 developers worked on Resident Evil 6, as the original was made by less than 50 people), it probably shouldn't be surprising that Resident Evil 2 looks absolutely gorgeous, and you can see it for yourself down below.

Yes, Resident Evil 2: Remake is almost here, which means that Capcom will be releasing new promotional materials for the game on a daily basis from now on. Thanks to YouTube channel Shirrako, we have a chance to take a closer look at nearly 20 minutes of pure gameplay from the upcoming horror video game that spotlights the fight with the disgusting Licker and one unstoppable Mister X.

Just like in the original, the player will control three equally important protagonists - Claire Redfield, the younger sister of former S.T.A.R.S. member Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, a federal agent for the D.S.O., and Ada Wong, a spy for Umbrella's rival company who is sent to recover a sample of the deadly G-virus. Be sure to check out the latest RE2: Remake gameplay footage (in stunning 4K and 60FPS!):



The genre-defining masterpiece Resident Evil 2 returns, completely re-built from the ground up for a deeper narrative experience. Using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil 2 offers a fresh take on the classic survival horror saga with breathtakingly realistic visuals, heart-poundingly immersive audio, a new over-the-shoulder camera, and modernized controls on top of gameplay modes from the original game.

Resident Evil 2 will return reimagined for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on January 25, 2019.

[terry78]

Has anybody gotten the demo yet?

 

[psylockolussus]

1 shot demo means if you are killed, you wont get to replay the demo?

 

[Gothamsknight]

definitely planning on pre ordering this tomorrow. As well as playing that demo!

 

[terry78]

1 shot demo means if you are killed, you wont get to replay the demo?

It means you get to play the game for a total of 30 minutes regardless.

 

[terry78]

Went ahead and got it from Steam and played for a little earlier. It's much more stressful than the original so far in the police station, the fact that they all look so much more detailed adds to it. I burned through about 18 minutes already and was like, **** I already used up most of my time.

 

[Mr. Forest]

The One-Shot demo had me hooked. If I could, I would pre-order the game right now, but I have to wait another week.

I'm currently replaying RE4 on my own and RE5 with a friend because we are both hyped for RE2. It's been a long time since I've been hyped for a game like this. Once I complete these three games and RE6, I will finally get around to playing RE7 since I missed out on it.

 

[psylockolussus]

This game looks so stressful, lmao. Even Mr. X chases Ada, and I think I might watch a full walkthrough before I play it on my own.

 

[psylockolussus]

I've played the demo and couldn't help but scream with the first zombie Ive encountered. I don't know the controls for the running so I basically was just walking the entire time. I reached the library then got the 2nd cutscene with Marvin in the hallway, then the trailer was played. The 30 minute runtime felt quick.

It was a bit stressful, like those rooms/hallways are really dark, and there were only like two rooms that have the light switch. Its best to just ignore the zombies unless they are right in your face and direction. Anyway I wasnt prepared for the demo but it wasn't that hard yet, those zombies though are creepy as **** I was going up to the third floor and boom I got bit. for what i remember the rooms' arrangement are pretty much the same except I think theyve added some rooms.

If you got back to Marvin before you saw the trailer, then you should still have time to play a bit more of it.

You're exactly right about ignoring the zombies. Just pop a few bullets into their legs to drop them then run past them. Another thing to realize is the game has adaptive difficulty, meaning if you do well the game will spawn more zombies and if you're having a bad time the game will spawn less zombies. I'm sure the system will account for other monsters in the game too, specifically lickers and Mr. X.

Speaking of Mr. X, from what I've heard he's like the xenomoprh from Alien: Isolation. You're going to want to try to remain quiet and skip pass a lot of items if he's right on your heels. I only hope he's not following you around the whole game, or if you can defeat him for a specific section.

 

[The Infernal]

Played it, loved it. Can't wait until it's out. Hopefully the full game will live up to the hype.

I have to wonder though if the 30 min demo is an obscure call back to the original RE2 demo which also had a time limit (but you could play that repeatedly).
