There is less than a month of wait left for Resident Evil 2. How excited are you?

You can jump into this directly, but there's no good reason not to play REmake if you can, it's brilliant and unlike any other survival-horror title.
I have a feeling it's going to be something particularly special - like metacritic in the mid-90s special.
I'm excited for it.

RE1 was a project to reach the first three game's formula to peak performance. I suppose RE2 is that but for 4-6.
This was the vision I thought of when I played the Tall Oaks part of 6. I wonder somebody at Capcom realized that too and actually did something about that.
It controls like a dream. Like, you can feel the weight when Leon walks.
I think 7 is an indication that RE4 is not the be all and end all of the series. As a 3rd person camera was a radical departure for the mainline titles, so is the FPV. The 4, Leon, it's camera, etc. are all symbols of the tectonic shift title that were felt across gaming for the next ten years.
I mean, hell: gaming has changed since putting a over-the-shoulder camera view on tank controls. The 3D space has become so advanced that you no longer have to rely on limitations to create tension. Yeah, that E3 reveal was hyper fast but that's how you would expect something horrifying to come after you in the real world. Doesn't mean your avatar has to know kung-fu to counteract it.
A lot of these thoughts flooded in my mind when I saw that trailer but I was one of the few in the world that...was at odds despite seeing the potential mechanics and reasons behind this direction as it was not just like REmake 1 as I have always imagined since 2002.
But upon actually playing it made me think it is still might be something that is in control of the depiction of feeble humans trying to scrap and squimer their way out of the horde of the undead.
Though, was it true that the devs did have plans on implementing a fixed-camera angle option? Is that still a thing? WIll it be a surprise?
Not even doing OG representation; all in for the future of the past.Which one of you is this?
The actual qustion is: will it be as good as REmake 1?
They can with 8 and onward.
It's the VP-70.
It really did exist.
I'm equally excited and worried.
I fear they have mde the game chock full of modern AAA cliched game design, like overlong cutscenes, scripted sequences, more straightforward and easier. Just looking pretty does nothing for me.
Yet I'm still hoping for the best. The original is a classic and deserve only the best kind of remake it can get. Fingers crossed.

This is honestly the least of my worries, *every* main series RE game was harder than the original RE2, whether we're still looking at classic RE's, or the later action ones. The puzzles were the easiest among the classic formula RE's too.
The one thing RE2 did better than any of the other classic RE's was it's incredible pacing from start to finish.
I'm highly confident in saying absolutely no chance, but sometimes it's nice to be wrong.
It's honestly the reason RE2 resonated the most with me growing up. As a kid I found RE1 and 3 too difficult and RE2 was refreshing in how much easier to grasp and manageable it was. RE1 and 3 were games I didn't actually finish until I replayed them years later as an adult.
Insanely excited.
One of my favorite games ever is getting a proper big budget remake. And according to all the previews, it seems like a really good remake at that.
FFVIIr would also fit that bill as well if it ever becomes anything more than a PSX experience teaser.

Extremely.
I have both the PS4 version on preorder at GameStop and I have purchased the pc version on GMG for its preorder discount. I have not been more excited for a game in a long time. Everything I have watched has blown me away can't wait for the this.
10 years ago if you told me they were doing a resident evil 2 remake with the camera of 4 I would have been pissed. But now I'm starved for this. *stevencolbertgiveittome.gif*

I just wanted to say that this is my most anticipated title of 2019 and probably the only one I'll buy at launch. I'm usually one to try and consume as much pre-launch material as possible, but I've barely seen anything so far and I'm excited for the surprises.
January is usually a very fast-moving month for me but Resi 2 has slammed the brakes on :P
In a way it's great because it means I actually have "time" to get my work done.
Can NOT wait! Saturday 26th will actually be the first time I get to play due to a wedding I have to attend on the Friday (though I might sneak a quick midnight session if I have the energy).

Not really super excited. I am a big fan of the original and all old school RE games but this just looks a bit too different.The new camera is a little disappointing (I am a big fan of the fixed camera angles) but what I mainly don't like are the new flahslight sections they have added. They remind me of those parts of the Last of Us where you are running around in the dark which I HATED. I am still going to buy it but I will wait for a sale.
Of course, I am super excited! Looking forward to playing my favourite game of all time remade in 4K. Already pre-ordered Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition on my Xbox One X (Hopefully the best version), locked and loaded for January 25th.
Capcom has a game of the year contender on their hands by the looks of things, everything about Resident Evil 2 looks outstanding from creature redesigns to the iconic police department. We are living in the golden era of Capcom.

No thank God. RE2 is survival horror, not silly over the top action like the later games.
RE2 was probably my favorite PS1 game ever, so to say I'm excited is an understatement. I've avoid most media over the game, not due to spoilers or anything, but to maybe try to recapture some of the magic of that first RE2 play through. I know that's impossible but I hope Capcom delivers.
Not a big fan of Kotaku but they wrote a really good "preview" Last Friday.

Sure it's already been answered, but is the classic soundtrack only available with the digital version?
It seems like it could be offered as DLC after launch, along with the outfits, fingers crossed.
It's available in the Deluxe physical edition for the US and the Collectors Edition for US and Europe.
And quoting myself from the community thread, see below:
Not day one excited (backlog, thx for saving me money), but quite excited!
Looking forward to get and play it at the first digital discounted price! The game looks really good!
The first RE is my favourite of the series, I also loved RE2 but I don't remember it clearly as I remember RE1... so it will be pretty fun to replay it in this revised version.

Steelbook pre-ordered, my body is ready. The original is my favourite game, I can't wait to see what they've done with it.
Excited as hell. RE2 is one of my all-time favourites, can't wait to dig in again. I started the PS1 game last week after almost 18 years and the nostalgia is overflowing!
You don't need to have played any other previous game in the series, classic or new. Resident Evil is not a plot-driven series, you can pick any to jump in (aside from 6). Obviously the purist side of me would suggest REmake but RE2make will be an equally good point of entry for someone who wants a more modern experience.
I'm ridiculously excited. My favourite game of all time being remade and to what looks like a ridiculously high standard. I've booked three days off work so I have 5 days over the weekend to smash my way through this. I really hope there is a demo as I want to get a chance to master what I can of the combat before playing the full game. I really want to speed and challenge run this like I have done so many times with the original.
So yeah very excited, I rarely get this excited about games these days.
