    Resident Evil / biohazard HD REMASTER is the closest to the real RE2 vibe for sure. Not this dumbed down RE Relevation game in RE2 clothing. Unimpressed to say the least. TEW does RE better than RE now thesedays.    … Expand

    Capcom has really done it with this amazing masterpiece and have gained themselves the title of King of Remakes!! This game is absolutely what I could've asked for. It has got RE4's view that actually fits perfectly! This game is a must play for everybody!!!

А так же из нового: крутой графон, хорошее звуковое сопровождение, отличный редизайн персонажей (я просто посмотрел, как выглядели Клэр и Леон во всяких 6-ых и Revelations 2...), Мистер X, манящая атмосфера, немного переработанный в лучшую сторону сюжет.

    Короче, чем игра хороша, уже рассказали по 500 раз. Про плохую сторону медали люди говорили реже. Но у игры есть несколько недостатков, которые меня просто вымораживают и не дают поставить почти заслуженную 10/10.

    В общем, эти минусы кроются в сюжете и лоре. В оригинальной RE2 было что-то похожее на пересечение сценариев, когда действие, совершенное игроком в сценарии А, влияло на происходящее в сценарии Б. Хотя и в оригинале полно такого, что вам приходится в разных сценариях за разных персонажей крутить один и тот же вентиль, и т. д. Так вот, в ремейке вообще нет никакой взаимосвязи между сценариями, кроме нескольких кат-сцен. Причем все попытки выстроить эту взаимосвязь в голове ни к чему не приводят, ведь здесь не то, что таймлайны не совпадают, это вообще будто параллельные вселенные. Ибо, мы валим одних и тех же боссов, разгадываем одни и те же загадки, ходим по тем же самым локациям (за исключением пару мест, где разрабы сделали уникальные мини-локи для каждого персонажа).

    А ведь можно было выстроить крутые пересечения, которые бы и дополняли историю, и показывали сценарное мастерство разработчиков, и предоставляли игрокам новый контент. Для этого, как минимум, надо было бы сделать альтернативные пути для каждого из сценариев, т.е сделать уникальные головоломки, уникальные локации для каждого из них, чтобы было понятно, что Леон делал в это время одно, а Клэр - другое, и время от времени показывать как наши действия влияют на другого персонажа.

    Особенно ТУПО, что разрабы так сделали когда-то в DLC Separate Ways для RE4, где в целом было реализовано то, о чем я говорю (с косячками, но было). Тут же, вообще ничего нет. В общем, это халтура. Увы, пересечений сюжетов нет, и это очень расстраивает. Очень. Согласитесь, если сценарии были бы по-настоящему другими и проработанными, было бы еще круче, а у игры и так вроде неплохой рейтинг, даже с учетом этой вот фигни. На самом деле серьезный недостаток, но в остальном игра очень крутая. В общем как-то так. Спасибо, что прочитали, если прочитали.    … Expand

Can't remember the original very well as I played that over 20 years ago.

    RE2 has always been a scary, thrilling game that still freaks me out at times and is about trying to survive to get out more so than killing zombies as I try to avoid them with a bullet to the knee if I can't run past them easily so I don't waste ammo. The puzzles are good, challenging enough without being overly difficult to figure out. It also has great characters and story.

    The only thing I don't like is that the story is a bit disjointed and doesn't flow in the 2nd run of whoever you didn't play the first time. But I wont give details as don't want to spoil it for those who have never played.
    And extra modes aren't my thing. I am not interested in speed runs as that's all the extra modes are for trying to test your skills in trying to complete it as fast as possible.

    This is a must play game even if you didn't play the original.    … Expand

    Из минусов я бы отметил, прохождение игры второй раз, хоть пути у Леона и Клэр немного разные что поддерживает интерес к игре. Ну сделать одних и тех же боссов в одних и тех же местах, после того как ты уже убил их, на этом месте в предыдущее прохождение, это как мне кажется зашквар.    … Expand

Many iconic areas have been cut or changed too much to be identifiable. The soundtrack is almost inexistent something to me that is part of RE2 classic charm sure you could buy the Classic soundtrack pack but I was wishing for orchestral version of many of the track. Also, I must say I am unsure about the characters I sometime feel like Leon is too dumb and naïve the original was better balanced on this level. Claire is really good on the other hand. Now on the touchy subject what about the Zombie who sponge bullets like crazy. I think its a little too much. The fact that they take a lot of bullets maybe 6 to 10 is one thing but when it takes 15 to 20 bullets its kind of stupid also the shotgun is bad someone missed the class when it was mean to dispatch large number of zombies. For the story its mostly intact but some characters where clearly more interesting in the original well some are the exact opposite. In the end is Resident evil 2 remake better than Resident evil 2 my 29 years old brain says no. But for someone who didn’t played the original it’s a great game I feel like I would have like it better with no expectation at all. I kind of wish they would have gone the RE1 remake way and remake RE 2 entirely with every beats. I am okay with changing Leon a little bit and Claire also some characters even fix some retcon Leon saying a one liner from RE4 was a great idea. But I still think they should have kept the world mostly the same. I felt like the Lab was too small and sewer too long. Also, a last point Mr-X I hate him. In itself is new look is great and how he search you is great. But in the original he would just appear during B Scenario. Letting you enjoy your first playthrough slowly explore the world and learn everything. In the remake he will hunt you most of the game kind of like Nemesis. Which was a dumb move because they lost the surprise of Nemesis for the sequel.… Expand

    ill be there you once again play as either Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield during a deadly outbreak in record city with hordes of zombies and other grotesque monsters unleashed throughout the city the two protagonists will experience their series of harrowing encounters throughout the larger story Resident Evil 2 is very much a game about localization as your resources get dwindle and the monsters become more dangerous the pressure is constantly increased as the game progresses even the smallest of victories can feel like a major win in Resident Evil 2.
    After finishing the first playthrough you can follow up with the second scenario allowing you to see the other side of the larger story through each scenario largely covers the same place and ground they won’t impact the other what makes them worthwhile are the different encounters and game plots that happen for particular characters won’t see for the other game’s.
    This remake is an understated survivalist approach from the original main games and along with the best and responsive controls for many locations and their layout and similar save for the new area and a different monster to deal with the events therein are different when recognizable scenes happen they often play out in radically different ways though early games in the series have a reputation for coming off as melodramatic the remake presents a more believable plot that maintains its poise its also propped up by some impressive writing and strong performances to help convey a palpable sense of urgency and despair some of the games more poignant moments are given to minor characters including the doomed police lieutenant Marvin Brenner.

    In one of the part more tense encounter you may cross in path with the tyrant an opposing force of nature and a threat that activity stalks you this dynamic adds serious pressure to certain situations making some of the common foes you’ve gotten handle of become genuine threats once again though the tyrant is an effective stressor during key moments which can make getting the best of its all the more satisfying there are times where it can disrupt the overall pacing this is especially frustrating when you’re trying to accomplish minor objectives in crowded spaces which should be tense encounters can sometimes become annoying exercises in trying to lure it away sometimes taking advantage of the tyrants rather limited AI to do just that while the remake often keeps seeing serious its not all doom and gloom in addition to occasional reference that break the tension there’s also a suite of unlockable content catered to hardcore fans including the classic outfits for both Leon and Claire after completing the campaign for both characters the bonus mode starring fan favorites hunk and tofu will unlock these timed encounters allow for a chance to cut loose battling against hordes of monsters without the worry from the largest survival horror mechanics from the original game its not only a stellar from the main game but its simply and strong horror game that gives anxiety inducing and goosebumps’ in some situations and some of the series finest entries but above all the remake is an impressive game for the fact that it gives all in one pure survival horror game.    … Expand

Unfortunately, I can't compare much, because I didn't play the original game, as I mentioned. What immediately took my breath away was the graphics. No, I don't think anyone would be as beautiful, but I mean, when I look at the original game and the remake, you can see the damn difference. Not only are the textures, of course, many times better, but the overall change to a third-person perspective has, in my opinion, been excellent. The game will not keep you waiting too long and you will find yourself at the police station in the first hour, where you will also lose more or less the whole game. But you don't have to be afraid. The police station is quite large and it's not surprising. Capcom can squeeze the given location quite well, as we have already shown, for example, in the seventh part in the form of a house. Here, at the police station, you do things that are a classic in the Resident Evil series. You go lost here and there, you collect raw materials, you create healy, you gradually improve your arsenal and there is also an unpleasant solution to puzzles, where I spent an hour solving a puzzle around chess. Resident Evil can do all these elements to number one, but the number two enriched it with one more element and that is Mr. X. A big guy who chases you almost everywhere except the safe room. Once you find it, you can't get rid of it, and the steps you hear while running around the station here and there looking for raw materials, those steps create a great atmosphere and the feeling that you can't stop and that someone is still after you. it goes and it really goes! As soon as Mr. X gets and you have nowhere to run, so you're quite in the fat, because you may not even have a full magazine from a weapon and Resident Evil is one of those games where wasting ammunition is not a good idea and every round is useful. It is best to give headshots to zombies. On Mr. But that's not enough for X and you can only shoot his hat. Although I'm not mistaken for the achievement, which is fine, but Mr. himself. X won't stop and will go after you, and as soon as he's with you, he stretches out and punches you, he can do quite solid damage and you then have to heal and waste your valuable, crimped healing ingredients. All this, meaning that you have few rounds, you have to hit and the fact that Mr. is still after you. X creates quite a lively horror. The only downside to all this is that you have it too fast. Unfortunately, something similar applies to RE as to, say, Call of Duty. It's just short. Personally, I finished the game in about 10 hours in Leon's skin and I was still loitering. (I usually always get lazy: D.) The nice thing is that you can still go through the game behind Claire, who has a slightly different passage, which will extend your gaming experience. The problem is that it still does not save the game from a perfect rating, because not only is the game short, but there is also DLC in it. Such a DLC containing the Original Soundtrack should not be a DLC, but this option should already be in play. On the one hand, I understand that the authors needed to make some money. It is still a remake of a game that is several years old and not everyone will buy the game and would rather wait for a new episode, but the fans of the two who received a remake would, in my opinion, deserve the original soundtrack already in the game, because I personally had this DLC and it spice up the game a lot. Despite the short gameplay and paid DLC, this is one of the best horror movies and especially one of the best remakes I've ever played. Whether you played number two or not, I recommend this game.… Expand

    Truly a horror game masterpiece, from the graphics to the story, it just excels in all departments. The only reason this game is not rated a 10 is that one character in the game, Mr. X, follows you as basically an unkillable boss. It builds up tension and gives you a couple scares in the beginning, but it gets really old, really quick. But do I recommend this game? YES.

    Two decades after the release of the original trip into the biohazardous universe of Resident Evil, Capcom delivers the best instalment yet. The world you'll be thrown in is a dangerous one, and it doesn't just look the part, but also makes you feel the thrill of being a survivor like never before, as each bullet shot, each item found, and each decision taken, can make the difference between life and death. Simply put, remake or not, this is survival horror at its best.
