    Resident Evil 2 développé par Capcom, est le remake de Biohazard 2 sorti en 1998. Pour un jeu sorti il y'a 2 ans, je peux bien avouer que les développeurs ont fait un boulot énorme dans l'ensemble, et que c'est l'un des jeux d'horreurs sur Ps4 le mieux réalisé.

    On retrouve nos chers protagonistes, Leon Kennedy et Claire Redfield, s'imprégnant dans une aventure horrifique à Racoon City,    Resident Evil 2 développé par Capcom, est le remake de Biohazard 2 sorti en 1998. Pour un jeu sorti il y'a 2 ans, je peux bien avouer que les développeurs ont fait un boulot énorme dans l'ensemble, et que c'est l'un des jeux d'horreurs sur Ps4 le mieux réalisé.

    On retrouve nos chers protagonistes, Leon Kennedy et Claire Redfield, s'imprégnant dans une aventure horrifique à Racoon City, et leurs but...est bien de survivre !

    """
    Ce qui fait la diversité de ce jeu, c'est qu'il y a deux modes histoire, le premier où tu vas incarner Leon Kennedy, et le second où tu vas incarner Claire Redfield. En plus, l'intelligence de ce jeu c'est que, peut importe si tu incarne tel(s) personnage (s), l'histoire est la même et les événements se dérouleront de la même façon. En gros les séquences se suivent même avec les histoires différentes.
    """

    """
    Le jeu est composé d'un mode facile, normal et hardcore. D'ailleurs, après l'avoir fini, vous aurez quelques **** bonus pour prolonger le plaisir. En gros ce sera d'autres **** gameplay, enfin d'autres défis, qui auront des difficultés différentes, parce que certains sont plus durs que d'autres.
    """

    D'ailleurs il n'est pas facile (même si tu le met en mode facile), vous aurez beaucoup d'énigmes, d'ailleurs elles se trouvent beaucoup dans la partie du commissariat. D'ailleurs qu'est ce que je pense de la partie du commissariat ?

    COMMISSARIAT (CRITIQUE) :
    C'est une excellente partie, d'où l'espace est gigantesque pour nous faire découvrir tel(s) et tel(s) énigmes. Pour faire renforcer l'ambiance horrifique, il y aura bien sûr, quelques endroits plongés dans le noir d'où certaines créatures (qui sont puissantes niveau des attaques), feront leurs présences. Mais ce n'est pas tout, l'énorme point fort du jeu c'est
    """
    que une créature gigantesque, du nom de Mr X alias le Tyrant, vous poursuivra sans arrêt dans tout le commissariat
    """
    , histoire de nous mettre plus en tension, ce qui créera une sorte de course contre la montre.

    D'ailleurs comme je le dis, il n'est absolument pas facile, parce que le faite de viser la tête d'un zombie n'est pas du tout évident, surtout si il passe son temps à bouger... un conseil, si vous voulez en ralentir un, visez les jambes ;)

    D'ailleurs, une erreur à ne pas absolument faire :
    *Ca ne sert à rien de tirer toutes vos balles sur le tyrant, du coup vous aurez épuiser toutes vos munitions et il ne mourra pas, car il est invincible*

    EN COMBIEN DE TEMPS SE FINIT-IL ?
    En 10 heures, mais si vous l'avez déjà fini, et que vous le refaite cette fois-ci en speedrunnant, le temps de gameplay sera de 3h.

    Qui est le plus beau ? Claire ou Leon ?

    """
    Ce n'est pas important, bien sûr que je n'allais pas aborder ce point ;)
    """

    LES POINTS POSITIFS :
    - Un Tyrant invincible qui vous poursuit sans arrêt
    - Une excellente ambiance et un environnement agréable
    - Une scène de fin explosive !
    - Un alligator zombifié
    - Aucun bug !
    - Des graphismes excellents bien sûr !

    LES POINTS NEGATIFS :
    - Le fait qu'on ne puisse pas esquiver les attaques
    - Le fait de viser la tête d'un zombie n'est pas évident (peut importe la sensibilité)
    - Qu'on ne puisse pas survivre à l'attaque d'une créature (qui a l'apparence d'une plante) dans le labo !

    CONCLUSION : Un chef-d'oeuvre du genre des jeux horrifiques !    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game, creepy atmosphere, true to the original and has good replay value.

    The story feels a bit plain and dated though and the writing doesn’t feel very modern, but since it’s a remake this isn’t really a bad thing.

    + Graphics and atmosphere are great
    + Tense survival action with loads of RE-hallmarked ”Yes I made it! Aw **** now I gotta go back through there again”-moments
    + Nostalgia

    - Voice acting and writing feels shallow and quite unengaging (I can’t imagine anyone reacting to a mutated 10-foot abomination with a casual ”This HAS to be a joke.”)
    - The story feels very ”90’s”

    In particular, the love story sub-plot between Leon and Ada is incredibly cringe-worthy. It’s a good thing he didn’t stay on the force being so gullible and prone to manipulation.

    But all in all, it’s a remake that stays very true to its original while doing an incredible job of face-lifting both graphics and gameplay to make it feel modern and engaging.

Si rascamos un poco diremos que la coherencia de continuidad entre las 2 campañas no existe, pues el original lo desarrollaba mejor, pero, hace que el concepto de este sea parecido al de las 2 campañas del primero, es decir, no se entrelazan entre ellas.

The game replaces things around to make it more than just a remake which is what is needed in the franchise. It's truly an amazing game that knows what it is, and I thank God that this game came out. It's definitely earned my favorite Survival Horror game. I'm glad to experience it again in a new light. If you read this review thanks for giving it the time to read.

    Resident Evil 2 is a remake of the ps1 classic by the same name, and with my limited knowledge of the original and therefore lack of nostalgia, I can safely say this game is downright flawless... with a few flaws. For starters regardless of your decided order, you will repeat boss fights in the B campaign, even when it breaks canon, playing Leon B was definitely soiled a bit by the fact I had to do the exact same boss fight in the exact same way with the exact same outcome earlier when I played as Claire in the "A Scenario" That, by the way is this games gimmick, its A and B scenario. If you decide to play as Claire's A Scenario first, you will then unlock Leon's B Scenario, which can be reversed by picking Leon first and then Claire, giving this game a total of 4 ways to play it if you want full completion, albeit with minor differences, but hey, whatever gives me another excuse to keep playing.

    The story this time around is fairly simple, it is a Resident Evil game after all, you play as either Leon S. Kennedy of RE4 fame, as a rookie cop moving to Raccoon City, and as Claire Redfield, a college student trying to find her brother, Chris from the first game, two very basic characters coming off the back of the first game where we played as a Special Forces unit, not that I'm complaining, they definitely grow into more hardened and comically badass characters by the end, spouting one liners that would even make Barry "Jill Sandwich" Burton proud. When our characters make it into the city, they find it overrun by zombies created from the G-Virus, a mutagenic evolution of the T-Virus created by Dr. William Birkin which spreads after Umbrella shoots him to near death and the Vials containing the virus breaks, mutating Birkin and spreading as a result. Later in the game we both fight Birkin and find his daughter, Sherry Birkin who, in Claire's campaign, we're tasked with protecting, we also find his wife, who's far more involved with everything than we realize at first, as for Leon's campaign, it's the first time we meet Ada Wong, she is however teased in the first game as her name is the password for a scientist known as John in the underground lab of the Spencer Mansion, to my knowledge, Ada never makes mention of John and it's largely gone forgotten, but conceptually she was looking for John in the original RE2 before she was changed to being the sexy, treacherous, Revolver Ocelot-like character we all know and love today. There's also characters such as Marvin, an infected cop we meet at the precinct, what I love about Marvin is the different way's he treats Leon and Claire, he knows Chris, and knowing Claire is his sister, he's very nice and patient with her, while with Leon, he's far more stern and authoritative, while still treating him with a manner of kindness, as Leon's higher up, he's a great character and I wish we got to see more of him. Then there's the kind of villain Chief Irons, he's comically evil and I find him pretty unimpactful, but with him out of the way we can talk about the real big bad, Mr. X, or officially, "Tyrant" sent by Umbrella to deal with anybody who could leak information about their involvement in the incident... I THINK, he's not really explained here, he just IS, I'm sure supplementary material clears this up but that's not the game is it?! Mr. X is a big hulking... well Tyrant, he'll stalk you around the police station, never giving up, and for the most part, he's an entirely natural part of the game, he reacts to your actions fluidly, and may not show up in the same place twice if you happen to die and replay a section, keeping you on your toes at all times, never sure just where he is. To make matters better, youtubers like Boundary Break have shown, he is an active entity in the game, not one that just teleports outside a door occasionally to spook you, he's always walking around, ever present, all the time.

    Gameplay wise, it's a standard third person shooter affair, nothing fancy, but it works very well, the camera is over the shoulder, giving us a good view of the character model and our surroundings at all times, I think it fits the series perfectly, far better than the first person camera of the non-remake games.

    To end it, I think RE2 excels as a game, I can't judge how it holds up as a remake, but on its own merit, it's worth your time and then some.    … Expand

    I can't describe what this game made me feel. I felt relaxed because of cleaning the map and trying to collect all the objects, but I also had this weird feeling in my stomach because of the zombies that may appear at any moment.
    I hope this remake of an old RE makes other developers to make games like the first RE and Silent Hill.

    This game is almost perfect. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did but when I started playing I couldn't put it down and ended up getting the Platinum trophy in about 4 weeks. The story is engaging and the graphics on the RE engine are some of the best available on the PS4. But where RE games shine is their gameplay and this one is no different.

The story is engaging and the graphics on the RE engine are some of the best available on the PS4. But where RE games shine is their gameplay and this one is no different. The environment design is great. The sound design is absolutely oppressive as background noises continually play in most of the areas to keep you from ever feeling safe (except in the Safe Rooms). If you want to play for the story and just run through the game, the Assisted or Normal modes allow for that while the Hardcore mode brings an extra challenge without being insanely difficult.

    The only complaint I have is just how hard the "No Way Out" scenario is in the Ghost Survivor's DLC. It is the only trophy I haven't been able to get but thankfully it's separated from the main game trophies so if you're a trophy hunter you don't have to worry about that. I also wish there was more DLC like there was for RE7.    … Expand

    I have RE2 remake a perfect 10 because I don’t know how it could be improved. Gone are the cumbersome tank controls. With more than a new coat of paint, RE2 was remade from the ground-up but retains everything that made the original great. They managed to capture genuine terror as you progress through the game. True “survival horror” makes a triumphant return in this one.

    Even though I found Resident Evil Village to be a heavily flawed game, I was actually quite interested in playing more Resident Evil games. Unfortunately, Resident Evil 7: biohazard's strong emphasis on horror didn't interest me at all, so I decided to play Resident Evil 2.
    Anyway, so, I wasn't expecting a good story from Resident Evil 2 and I didn't really get a good story; it's not bad,    Even though I found Resident Evil Village to be a heavily flawed game, I was actually quite interested in playing more Resident Evil games.

    Anyway, so, I wasn't expecting a good story from Resident Evil 2 and I didn't really get a good story; it's not bad, in fact, it managed to surprise me at times but it's just not necessarily good either. It's definitely not an important part of the game though, so it didn't affect my thoughts on the game overall.
    The characters are decent; Claire is great, Leon is cool, Ada is fine and the side-characters are okay, even if most of them are not memorable.
    The gameplay is amazing though! There's a wide variety of weapons & items, the shooting mechanics feel extremely satisfying and the survival horror elements are wonderful.
    The atmosphere and the representation are perfect, and they're accompanied by breathtaking graphics, outstanding audio and absolutely incredible level design. These are some of the most important parts in a survival horror game for me and Resident Evil 2 excels in every single one of them.
    Also, the boss fights are surprisingly exciting and interesting, albeit not very well designed for the most part.
    I feel like the only serious complaint I have about the game is how the second run feels very similar to the first run and its implementation messes up the story and the backtracking in some instances, unfortunately.

    Pros:
    + Addictive gameplay
    + Superb atmosphere & audio
    + Gorgeous visuals
    + Awesome level design

    Cons:
    - The addition of the second run isn't executed very well

This game pulled me in from the get go with the classic Resident Evil corny yet charming dialogue, gruesome and scary set pieces, great and fluid gameplay, and a truthfully terrifying atmosphere. I love the incorporation of Mr. X in this game as he stalks you and lurks around various corners. It's a gameplay element that always keeps you on your toes and makes you think before going certain places or using one of the very sparse resources in the game. Unfortunately, it seems that since this game was a critical and financial success, Capcom will most likely milk these remakes as much as they can(as seen with the lackluster but still passable Resident Evil 3 remake). But this game is a must play if you are a horror fan or not. It's a truthfully groundbreaking remake that will live in infamy for years to come.… Expand

Una jugabilidad entre el 4 y el 2 es medio raro decirlo asi pero digamos que tiene lo mejor de los dos mundos. La parte de la niña de lo mejor de terror que visto en mucho tiempo.

    En los malo podría decir que para mi le falta la banda sonora original que ya este deposi impuesta en el juego, que es maravillosa. Algunas zonas como la alcantarilla para mi no esta al nivel. La parte 2 ya se de Leon o Claire es demasiado similar una entre otra. El juego aunque se muy bueno se te hace bastante corto y al menos para mi da un poco de pereza un jugar otra vez haber que paso en esa escena post créditos de la primera parte del juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Remaking one of the scariest games ever, that is not easy to do at all. The remake has amazing graphics, lovable characters, fun weapons to use, & the Ghost survivor stories are great & they give a reasonable challenge for Die-Hard RE Fans & New RE players (like me). Amazing acting & voicing by the main cast by Nick Apostolides (Leon), Stephanie Pansibello (Claire), & Jolene Anderson (Ada).

    The individual stories between Leon and Claire show enough charm & charisma that it made me cry. In Leon's Story, he's a rookie cop who just earned his promotion not long ago and he sees such horrific things that he realizes that his future working as a RPD cop by solving crimes & arresting criminals won't be in his future after he sees that everyone around him turns into zombies. Before Leon escapes the station, he's encountered by FBI Agent Ada Wong where they find a reporter named Ben who has been imprisoned by Chief Irons for investigating Umbrella Corp. When the two enter the sewers, Ada & Leon try to find the suspect responsible for the Raccoon City Outbreak, Annette Birkin. When Annette tries to escape she tries to shoot Ada but Leon sacrifices himself and passes out. Ada tries to pursue Annette but she falls into a trash compactor and is also injured. Leon saves her & the two ride a cable car to NEST to secure a sample of the G-Virus but Leon fights a more dangerous William. After defeating William once again, Annette tells Leon that Ada isn't an FBI agent, that she's a mercenary. Leon tells Ada about what happened, then she confronts to Leon that she's a mercenary. When the two refuse to shoot one another, Annette shoots Ada where she falls off a bridge where Ada falls to her death. Finally, Leon almost escapes the lab where he is ambushed by the Tyrant where it transforms into a Super Tyrant during his final escape of this nightmare. Ada survives the fall and she helps Leon one more time by tossing a rocket launcher, where he kills the Tyrant & escapes on an evacuating train.

    Claire's story is an emotional fest all around. At the start of Claire's story, she's a lonely college student with barely any friends (no offense at all), her parents die at a young age which results in Claire being an orphan, & her brother Chris was the only person taking care of her. When she gets separated from Leon (whichever scenario you do), Claire gets lonely again. After escaping the RPD station, Claire meets a little girl named Sherry all alone hiding from a destructive monster. Next, when the girls try to escape the station, they encounter Chief Irons where he threatens to kill Claire if Sherry doesn't come with him. When Irons abducts Sherry, she gets lonely again but we see that Claire has feelings for Sherry. After escaping the orphanage, Claire meets up with Sherry's mother Annette, where she tells Claire everything that caused the outbreak in the first place. Claire finds Sherry but Annette tells Claire that her daughter has been infected & can't be saved. When their conversation ends, we get to see a deeper relationship between the girls because Claire tells Sherry that she cares for her. After receiving the vaccine, Annette is attacked and fatally injured by her monstrous husband where Claire ends up defeating the monster again. Before leaving NEST, Claire finds that Annette is slow dying vaccinating her daughter & with no time to be saved, Sherry mourns a goodbye to her mother. The Girls rush out of the facility as quickly as possible, where once again William appears bigger and is defeated again & they leave.

    Finally, Leon, Claire, & Sherry reunite where the 5th and final time William is there. This time he transform into a wall of flesh and fangs eating the back of the evacuating train. Claire and Leon almost get killed but they manage to uncouple William's tram and he finally dies. As the Three Survivors escape, they continue their fight to Umbrella where they live a weird happily ever after.

My only gripe is that Mr X can be more of an annoyance than a scary threat and you find yourself going the long way around just to avoid him because it brings the game to a grinding stop

Controls, enemy and level design, graphics, gameplay... all fantastic. Mr. X gets my heart pumping. (I just realized he can potentially smash through the wall at the back of the Press Room.) Ammo synthesis helps your playstyle without making ammo excessive.I've never played the original, but I can tell how this would've felt like an OG Resident Evil game with alternate camera angles. Controls, enemy and level design, graphics, gameplay... all fantastic. Mr. X gets my heart pumping. (I just realized he can potentially smash through the wall at the back of the Press Room.) Ammo synthesis helps your playstyle without making ammo excessive. Extra modes offer more action-packed sequences. This game flows very naturally from start to finish in a classic Resident Evil fashion, starting in an impressive police station that eventually branches into a massive underground lab.

    My only real complaint is that it can be easy to manipulate safe rooms to hide from enemies, mainly the guy who relentlessly chases you for a solid portion of the game, Mr. X. It would honestly be pretty fantastic if there was an option to allow him to chase you everywhere, as I consider his presence part of the peak thrill of this experience; It compliments the fluent movements between rooms rather nicely.

    This is essentially the definitive Resident Evil experience.    … Expand

    The best survival horror to date in post-silent-hill era, this time juiced with marvelous graphics, outstanding physics and overall fun-ness. One of my favorite games of the last generation. I wish the second half was as unmatchable as the first half though.

    The atmosphere of horror is overwhelming and proves that in 2019 there is a place for a Resident-like story in which the modern visuals heighten and not lessen the fear. It’s the best Resident Evil ever. [03/2019, p.40]

    The stunning graphics, incredible survival horror combat and wonderfully eerie setting make picking up a copy of Resident Evil 2 a no-brainer.

    Resident Evil 2 is a wonderful recreation of a believed original that, not only recaptures the glory of that game, but also improves upon it from a visual and gameplay standpoint. All in all, don’t miss out on this one.
