I'm less hyped than I would have been had RE2 Remake not existed. I liked RE2 Remake a lot as a game on its own merits. But as a remake I found it incredibly disappointing in a number of ways, and it is making me a lot more cautious about RE3. I'm still pretty hyped, but my expectations are a lot lower than they were for RE2.
As someone who liked the original RE3 more than the original RE2, I was more receptive to the idea of making changes to the latter and am mostly satisfied with the way that REmake 2 turned out in the end. With RE3, I feel that there's less room for improvement and am under the impression that REmake 3 may end up worse for how it's adapted.
RE3 is both mine and my brothers favorite classic RE title. It was the first one I actually finished though I played RE1 and 2 before it.
After reading the details of the OPM interview I have no faith they are gonna do RE3 any justice. They cut Mercs, have no alt endings and cut the choice system. The huge replay value of the original just took a huge nosedive, and since they don't care about preserving RE3s strengths it wouldn't surprise me if they ditch others.
There's a huge misconception here, that sadly has spread all over the internet already. The answer was regarding the question about "multiple endings", not the choice system per se.
This seems pretty clear and seperate.
That's pretty inaccurate. The article does not say that, I've read it. This is the bit I'm talking about, the question is about the different endings:
Not shit, just disappointing like RE2make. They cut a lot of content to either sell later as DLC or just ignore completely. Plus, the stuff they're adding kinda sucks (looking at you, Orphanage). Mercs died for Resistance, which looks like it'll have a niche following if any.
I really wish we could just slap this on any post that says "The article said no choices!!"That's pretty inaccurate. The article does not say that, I've read it. This is the bit I'm talking about, the question is about the different endings:
The only thing disappointing is the entitlement coming from a TINY part of the fanbase. Remake 2 is perfect as it is. Get over it.
I don't think a single person who was expecting or wanting Mercs was thinking of a 1:1 with a new shiny coat of paint. Mercs hasn't been around since 6, which was the best part of that game, so it's understandable that people would want to see the first game with Mercs to bring it back in some form or another.
Being disappointed in how certain aspects were handled isn't the same as saying the game was bad. It's excellent and my personal GOTY, but I'd be daft to think that the way they did the A/B scenarios and things like the orphanage were "perfect".
I can't believe people are actually bothered by Claire swearing a lot when facing fucking zombies and monsters for the first time in her life. Both Leon and Claire cursing up a storm in the remake were some of the best parts of their characterization. Totally believable that people would swear a lot when confronted with such unprecedented horrors.
That's pure cringe. Claire's fearlessness in an effort to help Sherry is probably the single best thing about her in this game. She's just an all-around awesome character to me, and I never really thought much of her, prior to REmake 2. Now, she's easily my favorite RE character behind Chris. Redfield siblings GOAT.
RE2 was my GOTY 2019, and RE3 is my most anticipated game of 2020. I was ecstatic when I woke up that morning and saw the leaked images of RE3. Game can't release soon enough.
I'm more hype since RE2 Remake was my game of the year for 2019. It lived up to everything I ever wanted it to be. Funny enough stuff they took out like the crows, spiders and big moth was things I expected to be cut and was ok with it.
REmake 2 is easily one of my favorite games of the generation, but we've got to be fair to the old school fans who raise good points and have valid grievances with the remake. Stuff like not bringing back the one moth enemy in the game are dumb complaints, but poor A and B scenario implementation, plus Leon and Claire's minimized interactions are something that actually could have been improved upon. I don't think the game is "perfect", just really good.
It also makes narrative sense. Leon's got no real reason to fight Birkin, as Birkin is just a particularly strong monster that's just an obstacle in his way, but it's something he's forced to deal with rather than him having any reason to. Claire on the other hand knows and cares about Sherry, and at this point she knows what Birkin is and the harm it can bring to Sherry, so she has her reasons for why to fight it and stand her own against it.
lol okay.
REmake 2 could very well be my game of the decade, but this is insanely reductive...
They never said they got rid of branches in the story (a la Live Selection), just that there weren't multiple endings. Those "different" endings, I might remind you, being "Barry is in the helicopter" and "Barry isn't in the helicopter".
REmake 2 wasn't being made by the RE7 team. REmake 3 is partially being developed by them. ;)
its expensive to create content of this quality with REngine thats why there is less overall, costumes in particular are made through scanning, dmc5 didn't have anything but recolors,its just the way things are, what works for capcom now is focusing on the quality of the presentation than adding hours of extra content, costumes or features thats why i dont think we will see a RE4 REmake anytime soon
Sherry's cutscene with Annet is a good one too. It's actually sweet and when she hugs claire
We're lucky we got all 4 scenarios in Remake2 in the first place, obv not ideal like the originals, but it did add replayability and supposedly wasn't even in the game just a year before release, so while it's less than ideal, it's better than the alternative of not having them at all imo.
Erm, no. There is also Nicholai being killed by Nemesis or not and the chopper battle being possible or not.
Those aren't the ending. Those are story branches. Again, the ending is easy to keep the same regardless of what choices you make in live selection gameplay because the endings are ostensibly the same. It's mainly a matter of if Barry is there or not.
The ending isn't just the final cutscene. The final cutscene is the result of the rest of the ending.
