Resident Evil 2 Review Thread

Oh I get what you were saying now. Seems like it's Capcom year first half of the year every year now, so they're not wrong. Wonder what they'll have next year. Fine by me, if they keep this up that means every year starts out strong.
They can always include him on the final volume of The Ghost Survivor.
In line with expectations, then. As impressive as it looks, there was always going to be a few outliers, and it certainly seems like the game handles some aspects in quite peculiar fashion.
I'll try not to read much from now on. If it's truly as short as RE 7 or the original, it's good news to me because I'll buy Ace Combat even sooner. I like to replay games, but I'm not going to play this or any up to four times in a matter of days.

It's honestly perfect. I played onimusha for the first time last week and beat it in 3 and a half hours. It was a great, tight experience and wish developers would do shorter games with lots of replay.
The levels are all designed so that you can put considerable obstacles between you and him, and he's very predictable and very easily baited into attacking and very easy to evade.
I'd understand if he wasn't predictable and was unfair like other stalkers in the series previously, but Mr. X is not like that at all.
On my second playthrough I finished Resident Evil 7 in 3 hours without rushing. In the end, without some Speedrun-BS-Items which unlocks after each run, there was nothing to explore in the game. Any other modes which can enhance the experience were sold as a DLC.
For Remake 2 it seems they put some extras besides Speedrun-Items into the game to make up for the rather short playtime. I mean, it's a full price title and the extreme short playtime of Resident Evil 7 was a huge disappointment.
Maybe the ign reviewer got that bit wrong wrong then, with how it unlocks (no surprise with them lately)
Not me lol, i got sick of these 50-100 hours long games last year.
Original RE2 was really short game and all about replayability...Not expecting 30+ hours experience here.
You're welcome. I recommend Leon first as he's much easier and the story is more straightforward RE to the original RE2. Claire's is much harder by default due to her not being to use certain weapons and being limited in other ways. Best to save her second. And know the game is much more difficult second time through so it's a double edged sword so it's up to you how you want to do this.
Yeah I was wondering the same after watching the ign review.
THIS game, with THIS engine. Drooool.
We need more dinosaur games.
You probably jest but I liked the first despite rough edges. Great gamplay idea and music from Bear Mccreary. Just a shame they couldn't nail the story or have a better enemy variety.
I'm hoping for Onimusha after the first just got an HD port personally.
How could you survive in the last 25 years with no single game made like that?
I feel like the weapons Leon gets at the end of his campaign makes the final boss much easier, so I actually recommend Leon to be your second run.
That's a very specific reason, though
wut wut wut
Take that back. Re 2 is regarded as a masterpiece even in its original form. That's fine if you suck at tank control but the game is still a masterpiece
On the contrary, they're fantastic games that simply do not suit your preferences. Yes, mechanically they are outdated, but they're fantastic games nonetheless. Holding that against games that are over two decades old is a little odd.
That's fantastic. I'm glad. Thank you.
I hope I'm not being a nuisance but I have two more questions:
Are there any nods to Resident Evil 3 that may suggest a remake of that game is coming?
Is the story developed more where it's possible new games in the same time period may be made? I made this comment in several Resident Evil 2 threads recently but really, I'd love it if there were more games that took place many years prior to the Mansion and Raccoon City incidents or during, either or.
Damn, real good reviews. Glad it's doing better then I expected. Also glad its not 10 hours per character to be honest. Especially with Kingdom Hearts 3 so close.
Well the good thing about the pc version is that you can try both.
Honestly, the length is part of the reason why I gave it a 9.5 (I didn't think it would be that contentious so unfortunately, I didn't really talk about it in my review). Part of what I love about the original RE2 is how concise and lean it is.
Other than that, I think it's easily one of the best RE games ever (and maybe my favorite). It feels like a nearly perfect modern interpretation of classic RE but with an OTS perspective. Also, I really loved what they did will all the characters, especially how they expanded the side characters, but Leon and Ada were absolutely the best part. Plus little things like the way the map works now are a really nice touch.

Every new Resident Evil they keep saying "as good as RE4" and in the end I'm disappointed, I won't fall for it again.
I'll wait and see gamers' impression if it's highly replayable and then I'll decide. What made RE4 so great is you still had fun even after finishing it 3 times.

oh that kinda sucks...was hoping I could lock it to 30 since the distant animations being locked at 30 fps was a bit off putting.
I played the demo on PS4 and PC MKB. I really enjoyed the MKB, and I'm usually a controller guy.
That's true as well. You could do it with Leon on your second playthrough and it will be much easier. But your first playthrough will be harder then because of Claire, so it's a double edged sword and it's up to everyone how they want to do this. Either way, you're still getting a challenge either in the first or second playthrough.
So does Mr. X appear in the initial campaigns in this remake or does he only exist in the zapped campaigns like in the original game?
Trust me I work in the hospitality industry so I know how it feels. But the majority of the population works M-F so it makes sense to release it on a Friday.
Considering Capcom's recent success... it wouldn't surprise me if they greenlit and developed both Dino Crisis and R3make concurrently.
I wouldn't argue with that, it does however radically alter the game's steady pacing up until that point and while he's reasonably easy to evade in empty rooms, you won't always have the luxury, nor do you really have time to pause and clear them out with him marching around.
huh? But it doesn't even hit 60 fps 100% of the time. Nothing wrong with options.
