'' olmuş RE2 Remake. Capcom son senelerde Resident Evil 7 ile köklere sağlam bir dönüş yaptı bu oyunda da izleri ve etkileri fazlasıyla hissediliyor. Seneler önceki o gerilimi,korku ve çaresizlik hissini tekrar karşımıza çıkaran Resident Evil 2 tam bir başyapıt olmuş. Remake anlayışını tamamen değiştiren Capcom klasik oyunları 80 kere bitiren oyuncular için hikayeye daha farklı açılardan yaklaşmak istemiş. Raccoon şehri polis departmanı dizaynı değişimi,hikaye ilerleyişi klasik oyunlara göre biraz daha farklı ve çok daha gerçekçi bir izlenim veriyor oyuncuya. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard için özel olarak yapılan RE ENGINE grafik motoru oyunun gerçekçiliğini fazlasıyla yansıtması için çalışmış. Yeni soundtrackler, oynanış , atmosfer, mekan tasarımları (özellikle yer altı Umbrella tesisi NEST ) , karakter tasarımları, gerçekçi diyaloglar, karakter seslendirmeleri ve başımızın belası MR.X oyunun en epik unsurları.

    Keşke dediğim bir kaç şey oldu o da birazcık daha uzun olsaymış dedim ve Claire ve Leon karakterleri arasındaki etkileşimler biraz daha uzun olmalıydı. Fakat bunlara rağmen herkesin özellikle Resident Evil severlerinin kesinlikle oynaması gerek bir oyun olmuş.

    Re Engine ile yapılmış yep yeni bir Resident Evil 3 Nemesis Remake ve Resident Evil Outbreak Remake görmek için sabırsızlanıyorum. Re2 den edindikleri tüm tecrübeleri de Resident Evil 8 'de uygulayacaklarından hiç bir şüphem yok. Resident Evil 7 'nin ilgi çekici hikayesi daha da detaylandırılmalı.    … Expand

This by itself is an incredible survival horror game and it had allured me into the lore of Umbrella Corps. and the characters within it.

    The game focused heavily on puzzles scattered throughout the infested city which, in turn, involved quite a bit of back-tracking. The satisfaction comes from putting all of the pieces together as you explore the map and facing dangers that will always put you on the edge of your seat.

    Resident Evil 2 excelled over other survival horror games by emphasizing on the never-ending threat(s) that challenge you to manage your equipment and supplies efficiently. Going through certain areas in the game made me question whether it was worth spending my HP or ammo and to me, this is why Resident Evil 2 deserve a 9; aside from the incredible graphics, atmosphere, and story, it makes you actually think about your decisions and the trade-offs that comes with it.

    The reason that stops RE2 from getting a 10 is the somewhat poor dialogue that may or may not be too noticeable through protagonists regardless of the great voice performances. In addition to the cliche-esque dialogues, the game also consists of silly plot-holes that can be easily neglected and enjoyed.    … Expand

    I would suggest that having a few more zombies in the police station would have impressed the overall population of the infected city. Having them break through windows or rattling the doors and windows at times would have added to the atmosphere of being one of the few survivors in an infected city.

    One of the best looking PS4 games to date
    Great atmosphere
    Good story, sticks to the original

    This is not only a great remake but that's the way Capcom should be doing Resident Evil from now onwards. Forget about the action packed RE 5 and 6 and please let the first person camera go way. This is the perfect balance for Resident Evil.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For a game that requires multiple playthroughs of the same story in a largely linear way, I was surprised just how fantastic and addictive this was. Coupled with the difficulty and having to look at videos, i found this game not just something i sat down mindlessly playing but something I really had to concentrate on. I hadn't played the original so had no nostalgia. This was a new experience for me, one which I thoroughly enjoyed.

    Pros:

    I was genuinely scared when travelling down dark corridors - the zombie placements were really good.
    The sound is fantastic. This adds to the tension.
    If you like going for trophies and following guides, the game will definitely scratch an itch.
    Likewise the puzzles can be a real challenge for anyone looking to solve things independently.
    The A - B storylines work perfectly together.
    Shooting the zombies is really satisfying.

    Cons:

    Playing for extended periods of time got exhausting, especially when going for the speedruns.
    If you are looking to mow down waves of zombies you will be disappointed because more often than not you will run past them not killing them.
    The boss battles can be extremely challenging. On boss took me over an hour, 20-30 attempts to defeat.
    Mr X seems to turn up out of the blue at the most annoying points which I understand is to add to the challenge but created moments of extreme rage.

    Whilst I got extremely frustrated in places, I have to give this game a 9. It loses a point because it won't be a game that I will sink 1000s of hours into and if I think about the amount of content, there isn't a huge amount. What there is however, is an extremely tightly woven and polished game which plays fantastically well.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 2 Remake or "Re-imagining" as I would call it, brings back the survival horror that the series is know for after three main entries which were more action oriented games. The game uses the same blueprint as the older titles and introduces new elements such as a 3rd person point of view (like after the 4th game) and autosave and so forth while still retaining the tactical element of the older ones such as saving your ammo and not killing every enemy in your way. As comparing to the original the story is about the same some little changes here and there and two playable character scenarios also make a return. Where the game does better than the original is the horror aspect as the generic zombies you've seen in many RE and other games are not just a simple "shoot them in the head and be done with it" no they take a lot more sometimes even a shotgun blast to the head cant kill them instantly so you have to be careful with your shots. I could go on and on about the good things of this game but as a remake this game is a little bit a hit and miss. Let's start with the music. Ok it's not bad I mean it is almost non existent throughout the game I mean there are a few good tracks such as the save room theme and Mr. X's themes but all and all the original soundtrack is much more memorable. Secondly I would like to talk about the enemy types. Well the enemies we get in this are fine. Aside from your typical undead we get mutants who spit poison which makes your characters weaker and need for anti-poisoning healing items, plant zombies or whatever they are that kill you in one hit if you don't have an defensive item on you to escape their grasp, and also zombie dogs. Comparing to the original there aren't so many enemy variations so that bothers me a little but it's a personal opinion I think they tried to make the game more realistic in tone so maybe skip the mutants spiders then, they would've been cool tho. And lastly the A and B scenarios or as in this one they are called "2nd run" which you unlock for the other character after completing the game once with a character. You've probably heard this one if you have read some reviews but yeah this was done better in the original.
    Resident Evil 2 2019 is one of the better games in the series and an excellent survival horror game no doubt about that but a few things keep it from being the best RE. The original felt more grander is scale and more full or something I don't know how to say it, but one thing is for sure Resident Evil is back on its feet and slowly stumbling towards the future of survival horror.    … Expand

    Magnificient... not only for hardcore fans but also for new comers. The RE Engine is sublime.
    The reasons why I did not give the game a perfect score are two-fold. First, the lack of some cutscenes that were already in the original one. Second, the missed opportunity to create an intertwined scenario with the two protagonists. The choice of scenario A & B is pretty awkward.

    Resident Evil 2 is the new gold standard in both survival horror and recreating a classic game. Not only does it pay homage to the 1998 original, it throws story twists and turns to keep even those loyal fans who have memorized the original on their toes. Capcom did this classic justice and that's not an easy thing to do.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Die hallenden Schritte breiten sich in der Ferne aus und nähern sich allmählich. Ich muss schnell sein, denn Tyrant ist hinterher - eine Tötungsmaschine, von der ich mich nur losreißen kann, aber nicht zerstören kann. In den engen Räumen der Polizeistation muss schnell und vorsichtig vorgegangen werden - Leon Kennedy wird bald diesen Albtraum verlassen.

    Als Capcom gerade ein Remake von Resident Evil 2 ankündigte, wartete ich auf die Rückkehr der Horrorklassiker und die Gelegenheit, erneut in die Geheimnisse der Polizeistation Racoon City einzutauchen, von jedem Geräusch in den Abwasserkanälen zu zucken und im Labor zu überleben. Einst war das ursprüngliche Spiel mein erster Horror, es gab mir viele Eindrücke, Tausende tote Nervenzellen und setzte die Messlatte für meine Erwartungen an das Genre. Und als mich der Anfang des Remakes von Resident Evil 2 mit einer Welle von Nostalgie überwältigte, stürzte ich tatsächlich in ein neues Spiel.

    Von der Passage des Originals sind nur Emotionen geblieben, einige Plotpunkte finden ihren Weg in die Erinnerung, aber ansonsten ist es fast eine neue Erfahrung. Das Game hat genug zu bieten, um den Spieler vor dem Bildschirm zu halten. Jeder Fund trägt noch etwas weiter mit sich und aktiviert ein neues Glied in der Kette der Ereignisse um die Charaktere herum.

    Ein Remake von Resident Evil 2 hält ständig in Spannung. Die perfekte Spannung, wo das Blut in den Adern kalt läuft. Es ist nicht nur ein ständiges Gefühl, dass jemand Sie gleich angreift, nein. Das Spiel durchdringt ständig ein Gefühl der Angst, zermalmt die Musik oder äußert die Stille.

    Gleichzeitig gibt es genug Rätseln , von denen einige Neuankömmlinge in die Knie gezwungen werden. Ich hatte zum Beispiel Schwierigkeiten mit der Einbeziehung von Elektrizität auf dem Parkplatz, aber in dieser Zeit gelang es mir, die gesamte Fläche zu reinigen und fast alle Türen zu öffnen. Auf der Karte wird dies äußerst bequem angezeigt - wenn alle Elemente im Raum gesammelt wurden und alle Fragen „geschlossen“ sind, werden sie blau und rot markiert.

    RE2 überraschte mich unangenehm mit der Anzahl der Gegner, die aus dem Nichts kamen. Es gab einen Moment, als ich ins Fotolabor ging, nahm ein Foto mit... beim Ausgehen standen vor mir zwei Zombies, die vorher nicht da waren. Das Fenster ist voll mit Holz, der Flur ist leer. WO KOMMEN DIE HER?!Das nervt. Auch Zombies, die mit 10 Kopfschüsse noch immer aufstehen und zur gleichen Zeit reicht ein Schuss für die anderen. Im Ernst? Solche Momente verderben den Eindruck nicht, aber sie sehen extrem seltsam aus.

    Neuer RE2 ist größer geworden. Wenn das Original an einigen Abenden fertig gespielt werden konnte, beträgt die Dauer einer Kampagne nun etwa 15 Stunden. Irgendwann, nach ein paar Stunden Horror Story lief das Spiel ganz ruhig ab und meine Nervenzellen haben begonnen sich wieder aufzubauen. Nix da! Eine ungewöhnliche Zwischensequenz oder ein neues Hindernis für die Hauptfigur lässt einen fast aufspringen. Du kannst ja nicht vorstellen, wie ich durch die Korridore der Polizeistation gerannt bin, als ich zum ersten Mal den Tyrant traf.

    Wenn du das Original nicht gespielt hast, ist es eine großartige Gelegenheit, den Klassiker kennenzulernen. Höchstwahrscheinlich wirst du dich an das Tempo des Spiels, das Format und einige Aktionen gewöhnen müssen. Zum Beispiel passte ich mein Verhalten nur beim vierten Treffen mit einem Zombie an. Für diejenigen, die sich an Resident Evil erinnern und die Überlieferungen des Spiels gut kennen, ist dies ein Grund, zurück zu gehen um die Erinnerungen zu erfrischen.

    Resident Evil 2 war ein farbenfroher und atmosphärischer Horror. Dich erwarten zwei Kampagnen, etwa 25 Stunden Spielzeit, heftige Schlachten mit Bossen, Rätseln und Geheimnissen der Umbrella Corporation. Und ich gehe meine Nervenzellen wieder aufbauen.    … Expand

Resident Evil 2 is a shinning exception in the remake world. Capcom took a game many missed out on, and some remember fondly and made a game that functions like a modern game without losing the spirit of the original series.

    The story is split up to follow two different character that are going for very similar goals. You can play as either Leon Kennedy the boyband lead singer of Raccoon City or Claire Redfield the little sister to everyone’s favorite boulder punching zombie killer. The stories are similar, but not the exact same so it’ll be favorable to play both and get a feel on who you enjoy playing as more. I played Leon’s story and honestly there isn’t much to it in the cut scene realm of things. Most of the story is told through these documents you pick up and are supposed to read. I personally wouldn’t recommend this game for story but the gameplay.

    The gameplay is fantastic… mainly in the beginning. The first part of the game is suspenseful and the zombie killing is very satisfying. My first encounter with a Licker was intense with how they move and will jump at you. The resource management has been made way easy due to the map telling you rooms you need to get stuff and unlimited saving. That being said; I learned early on to not and try and kill every zombie in the game because you will run low on bullets when they count. The game loses me when they introduce Mr. X. He is a unkillable hulking dude in a trench coat who just chases you everywhere in the game. The first two times he appeared it was nerve racking. After that it was tedious, and it turned into a game of tag basically while I tried to solve the puzzles. I lost a lot of enjoyment from the game the moment he was introduced because it was just annoying running away every time he got near. My personal favorite part of the game is how the zombies take damage. You can blow off limbs or when you shoot them in the head the entrance hole is just there. This is a minor thing that I got a major kick out of.

    Overall the game is a great horror game that unfortunately lost me with the game of chase. It looks beautiful and the new combat is my favorite the series has ever done. Is it scary? No. Does it has suspense? Hell Yes. I am very mixed on this only because I hated the Mr. X stuff so much but loved the parts without him. I give this game a Full Price still. I think people need to check it out because despite the issue I have I have to admit it is a very solid game.    … Expand

Bei 86 einen von Userscore von 9. Falls eine 85 kommt entscheide ich ob ich es eher positiv oder negativ nehme. Regeln verstanden? Dann sind hier meine Punkte.

    Punkte: 92/100

    Pro:

    + grandiose Atmosphäre; Man ist sofort im Geschehen
    + die Anspannung durch den Grusel bzw. Survival-Horror bleibt bis zum Ende bestehen
    + einige Komponenten des Spiels machen das Spiel sehr unvorhersehbar und somit umso spannender
    + die Kampagne lädt zum erneuten Durchspielen ein (dank mehrerer Kampagnen)
    + die Steuerung ist einfach zu lernen; das Management ist einsteigerfreundlich
    + das Spiel schafft es bis auf den Final Boss durchweg gut gebalanced zu sein; man hat zwar eine Munitionsarmut, diese verhindert aber nie, dass man zu lange an einer Stelle feststeckt (getestet auf dem Standard-Schwierigkeitsgrad)
    + besonders gegen Ende ertönt ein sehr guter Soundtrack
    + das Spiel lief auf der Ps4 Pro durchgehend flüssig
    + bei beiden Spieldurchläufen sind keine Bugs aufgetreten
    + keine Spielabstürze
    + allgemein sieht die Grafik phänomenal aus
    + die Zombies sind fantastisch designed und reagieren sehr detailliert auf die Schüsse von Leon oder Claire

    Contra:

    - ich persönlich musste leider beim allerletzten Boss auf "Assistiert" stellen, da mein Munitionsvorrat zu gering war um das Spiel durchzuspielen.
    - die deutsche Synchro schafft es die allgemein schon trashigen Dialoge (besser als im Original) noch trashiger zu machen (das kann man gut oder schlecht finden)
    - leider wird zu schnell der "einfache" Schwierigkeitsgrad angeboten. z.B. sterbe ich bei einem Bossfight einmal und bekam direkt das Angebot auf "leicht" zu stellen. Andersrum bei einem anderen Boss (FINAL BOSS) starb ich sehr oft. Dort erschien das Angebot nicht einmal; [natürlich kann man es jederzeit manuell einstellen]    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is really well done, I cannot say anything bad about how graphics looks or how realistic the scenery was made. Seriously, Capcom knew what to do in that aspect, but then we have the new soundtrack which is the most forgettable one I have ever heard. Nothing good, even though some people put their hearts and time to create it and I respect that. This game lacks on content to keep me hocked for more than a week. I finished both campaigns and their respective B-scenario and this weird feeling was left inside of me after finishing it. I know some DLC is in our way but they should put that content within the full game, not as a DLC. Still, I’m glad they made this game and hopefully RE3 will get the same treatment as this game.… Expand

    An excellent walk down memory lane, this re imagining of a classic works well and retains the feel of the original but manages to make it creepier! I didn't think that over the shoulder would work but it did. My only gripe is the somewhat clunky boss battles.

Capcom already nailed it with amazing details in both environment and enemies, thus make the horror surviving gen come back. Character models also look fantastic. It is definitely successful remake. Puzzles are decent and the game is helping to guide you. I love the new map system that help showing icons of items around you and the idea of hip pouch ; item that add more space in your inventory. However, there are two reasons that I deduct the points from 10 to 8

    1. Story - 1st and 2nd scenario have very little differences, and story in both Leon and Claire are not strong enough in my opinion. I think Leon and Claire should have more chances to meet with each others. Story could be more engaging, rather than just a reason for you to go to next location.

    2.The price is a little too high for the content. It took me 9 hours to beat Leon and 6.5 hours for Claire. However, for Claire, they mostly use the same locations from Leon. The content is lacking.(There are a lot of backtracking too, so the real value hours in content should be very short,) I think the right price should be 40-50 USD for a remake.

    In conclusion, Resident evil 2 remake is a epitome of a game that has amazing quality but poor quantity, unless, you don't mind running the same locations ofc. Still, when I compare this game with Last of us, which is the same genre (and I gave Last of us 10/10) , Resident Evil 2 is clearly not that level yet. I think 8/10 is fair score for RE2 remake. I would love if Capcom add more contents and deepen the story. It is surely intense terrifying game. I have a great time with it, but it is too short for a 60 USD game.    … Expand

    The back tracking also hurts the game, you back track a lot in this one.
    This would have been a solid 8 if the game was not so harsh, constantly forcing me to conserve every bullet and if I miss two shots I have to re-do large parts again, if there was not so much back tracking and if the story was more interesting.

    I haven't played RE2 close on 20 years now, but what amazes me is how this remake can make me feel just like I felt back then. It is so much better with the modern graphics and gameplay, way better voice acting. I don't mind Leon's new face much and I definitely like the new Claire more. I hope they'll do Nemesis next, maybe even Code Veronica.

    What was fun in 1998 at least from my perspective definitely doesn't mean it is fun in 2019, and even new graphics with different camera won't make it fun, if the gameplay is the same chore of constantly revisiting areas with new items that enable you to progress to a new area that was previously locked, which gets even worse after the first half of the game, because then, as if it wasn'tWhat was fun in 1998 at least from my perspective definitely doesn't mean it is fun in 2019, and even new graphics with different camera won't make it fun, if the gameplay is the same chore of constantly revisiting areas with new items that enable you to progress to a new area that was previously locked, which gets even worse after the first half of the game, because then, as if it wasn't enough already, you are suddenly forced to take detours, and spend more time on the way to an area that you visited 5 times already.

    There are some highly impressive things about this remake, like the use of volumetric lighting, the binaural sounds that should be a new standard in games, or even such small details as that amazing intro animation of a trucker eating a burger.

    However, when you get over the first two hours, and learn the level design, and the effective way of gameplay, instead of having some feeling of satisfaction from accomplishment in that genre defining constantly increasing survival horror pressure, everything becomes repetitive, boring, and slowly falling into a routine that won't change until the end of the game.    … Expand

    Much of Resident Evil 2’s milieu is created with the benefit of modern technology, of course, with the RE engine flexing its muscle in lighting and detail and binaural audio creating a genuinely spine-chilling soundscape of shuffling footsteps and inhuman shrieks. But key to it is that somewhat lost art of crafting a small, detailed and believably joined-up setting.

    The only flaw to this game is that it works too well and might scare some people off by being a survival horror game.

    Story - While nothing too grand, the contained story gives a great sense of satisfaction the longer the game goes on, as you find more information and meet new enemies, you become more excited for the future parts to uncover what is behind the outbreak while dreading it at the same time

    Gameplay - the movement, the handling of guns, the footsteps of Mr. X, the use of light (and lack there of), resources, puzzles and the constant threat of zombies coming back to life never become annoying, all of the things combined stress you out, make you paranoid and makes you scared of running and forces you to slow walk as you prepare for incoming doom. It all fits in so well with each other, immersing the player inside of the world.

    Sound design - the footsteps and the screeches, the guns and grenades, all of it with perfect sound design behind them, again immersing the player.

You have to be smart about which enemies to take down, so you will have enough ammo to make it through all the bosses towards the end. I would actually give this a 9.5 if I could, but there will a few small things that bothered me. They left out the giant spiders in the sewers, which were in the original, but also added new enemies that were not in the original. I kinda wish they added just a little more extra content, as the campaigns between both Leon and Claire will only get you about 12 hours of gameplay for the main story. For a resident evil game, however, that’s about the norm. Also, there were some minor graphical issues in the lab towards the end, but nothing major. I would honestly say this is the best, and most challenging game in the franchise, close to RE4 for me. Hopefully this is 2019 GOTY, it deserves it!… Expand

    I only have a few negative things I can say about it. Most of which just sort of pay homage to earlier games. Such as being attacked takes a few seconds... but it also raises the tension as any other enemy in the area gets closer and you get the risk of being attacked again.

    The inventory can be small, at the same time that goes into the difficulty of survival and thinking before you bring everything with you. So again. Not really a negative as it's the intended design and makes you decide between medicine to heal, weapons, ammo and the key items you need. Also space to pick items up. It's all part of the survival aspect.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok. Let me take you back to my memory lane of how it begun my love with this franchise....
    Ironically it was with RE2 for the ps1 back on 1998 and after putting the disk in my old ps1 everything in my life changed.
    I was in love with this game, i was so much in love and obsessed that i beat it after the first day of having it. It was/is a masterpiece and then it begun my research of the franchise....
    I backtracked playing RE1 which aside of having worst graphics i still loved the game so much and felt even more terrifing that RE2 being in the old decrepit Spencer Mansion.
    Then i played RE3:N and loved it so much all the new little things they added to it and still felt like a survival horror game done right. Nemesis was freaking awesome. Following you everywhere you went. Making feeling you NOT SAFE ANYWHERE. Another masterpiece.
    Then i bought the Sega Dreamcast specifically to play RE:CV which i loved to the death (one of my favorites).
    Then it came RE0 & Remake for the gamecube (which Re: Remake for me is the best Remake of all time) and i was jumping with joy of how well done both games where made.
    And then came RE4. Which it was a very good game but it wasn`t a "classic RE", It was more action oriented and didn`t even had one jump scare or dread sensation in the entire game. Yes is a masterpiece but IS NOT A CLASSIC RESIDENT EVIL in all the sense of the word.
    Then i bought my 360 (The Resident Evil 5 Bundle), and it was not only more of the same (regarding of RE4) but worst in a lot of points.
    Then i played Resident Evil Revelations in my 3DS and loved the new direction they took the franchise but it still felt halfway through of what i wanted to expect from it or putting it simply in words what i wanted from a survival horror using the new camera and game mechanics. Still good but with a lot of room for improvements.
    Then it came RE6 and OH MY GOD......What my beloved Capcom did to my franchise !? I was so angry, mad and i felt even more sad knowing that this game was still better than RE5 in a lot of ways.
    That was the point when me (as a franchise fan) gave up on Capcom & Resident Evil. I felt so dissapointed by them that i knew the franchise was dead (at least at that time and for me).
    Then it came RE: Revelations 2 which is fun, more horror but still had a lot of action and i felt it was not better than Revelations 1 but worst in almost every aspects. So i was like a drifter or hobo looking for shelter for my survival horror needs in other franchises that brought me joy but weren`t near in my heart as Resident Evil was. So i played my Dead Spaces, Fatal Frames, Silent Hills, etc.
    Then i read that Capcom was making RE7 coming back to "the roots of horror again" so with the little hope i had left in my poor broken heart (blame that to Capcom & all RE games after Code Veronica) i bought and played Resident Evil 7 in my PS4. Loved the game, didn`t liked so much the first person view, i`m mora a third person fan but still a good game......BUT IT WAS NOT RESIDENTE EVIL in all the sense that word means. It had nothing to do with the main story/lore of the saga but still i felt that Capcom were trying to come back to the roots of what a true resident evil game should be.
    And here we are now. You, me and my words after finishing my full playthrough of Leon(1) & Claire(2) and all i can say is this.....
    THANK YOU SO MUCH CAPCOM.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTEN TO YOUR FANS.
    AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LOVE THAT YOU PUT IN THIS GAME.
    Still not perfect, i had some issues with it. Mainly with Ada playthought. SPOILERS: I hated that Scan Gun and everything that came with it. It cuts the pace of the entire game and it feels out of place in a story that is in 1998.
    Aside of that minor concern everything else i perfect and how i dreamed (for years) of how it should be.
    Now if there anyone from Capcom reading this, this is something i want to share with you of how i think you (Capcom) in general should approach the future games of the franchise:
    1. Now that the engine (RE: Engine) is done and some assests of RE2: Remake will be used again in the remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis meka sure the game has the same felling that this Remake had.
    2. Then proceed with the same treatment to Resident Evil: Code Veronica.
    3. Then proceed with the same treatment to Resident Evil 0.
    4. Then proceed with the same treatment to Resident Evil 1 Remake.
    5. And then if you have the resorces and time Proceed with RE4, 5 & 6 but make them more survival horror than action and also redo all the story making it more coherent with the events of the previous games.
    That is all, i hope you enjoyed the game as much a i did and can`t wait to pre-order Resdient Evil 3: Nemesis Remake !!!!

    I expected no less than Resident Evil remake level of polish and production and this absolutely delivered it. It looks stunning, the new 3rd person perspective works fine, levels, battles and puzzles were cleverly redesigned, it's more tense, supporting characters were better developed...so many changes (for the better), but at same time it's feels very true to the original RE2 game.I expected no less than Resident Evil remake level of polish and production and this absolutely delivered it.

    Each character campaign last about 6-7 hours. Some may say it's too short, but I'd rather have a short but amazing experience that keeps me coming back, than play something that drags on for 20 hours or so and never look back to it again.

    I have just a single complain about that Tyrant (Mr. X) that keeps chasing you for a great portion of the game. I know he's there to build tension and it works well at first, but starts to get annoying when you're trying to concentrate on a puzzle solving or exploring the environment and then this f* comes and forces you to run and abort everything you're doing. It doesn't really damage the game and you get used to it, but I can't help feeling annoyed by his constant presence.

    Apart from that, it's the masterpiece Resident Evil fans were waiting for and one of the best games of this generation. Can't wait for RE3 e Code Veronica remakes.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You did a wonderful job Capcom. You managed to give new life to a masterpiece, and this is a rarity. As a RE and a horror videogame in general, it won everything.
    But, I have to say that making us do the same puzzles again in scenario 2, with the same boss battles and etc, wasn't a good idea. Furthermore, the story of Leon can't mix properly with the background's story. There is no point for him to fight Birkin. I'm not pleased with scenario 2 at all(and Leon's story in general), it felt like a waste of time, more like a way to extend the longevity of the game.

    If I should give a feedback, how I would have done it and what I would love to see one of these months, is one more "canon" scenario(fixed in Claire 1, Leon 2), where Leon doesn't need to do the same things Claire did. He should just be a witness of Claire's doing, with all the puzzles solved and all Birkin's battles avoided.
    You should just put the two electronic parts in the rooms exclusive to Leon, make him find the medikit that he uses on Ada(that currently is coming from nowhere)and make Leon meet Annette while she is preparing the solution to weaken Birkin(or maybe let him read one of her documents about the truth on Ada, or let her speak with him trough the speaker), without Ada being shot. Lastly, put more enemies for Leon to fight. The zapping system should return too, allowing him to access to all Claire's items stored in the box, excluding her weapons. This way there are less puzzles but a more challenging quest. The scenario is not too long, but it would be a bonus to what the game already offers.    … Expand

    I do think the puzzles were a bit too easy; you'd know where to use it immediatly - the trip there, however, might be the challange of it. But it did keep the pacing at a constant rate, which was good.

    The OTS view is excellent. Any other scheme would most likely break the game/immersion. Tank controls would absolutely have ruined it.

    The game engine is fantastically optimized, running heavy environment details and atmospheric effects at a AAA level at all times in densly populated areas - if you disagree, do learn more about game engines, what "costs" in rendering, and cross-platform pitfalls in general. Go for PC version if you're a GFX whore, or PS4 (base/pro) for still awesome gfx, and the good 'ol controller.

    Resident Evil 2 Remake was announced back in 2015 and like many I was excited by the announcement. With the success of Resident Evil 7 bringing the series back to it’s horror roots I couldn’t be more excited to see how Resident Evil 2 can continue that momentum. The last time Capcom remade a Resident Evil was with the original back during the Gamecube and that game was not only amazingResident Evil 2 Remake was announced back in 2015 and like many I was excited by the announcement. With the success of Resident Evil 7 bringing the series back to it’s horror roots I couldn’t be more excited to see how Resident Evil 2 can continue that momentum. The last time Capcom remade a Resident Evil was with the original back during the Gamecube and that game was not only amazing but, it felt like it did the original justice and then some. I was a little disappointed to find out that Resident Evil 2 would be a 3rd person shooter instead of going back to tank controls like the first REmake. Finally having the chance to play and beat Resident Evil 2 Remake; I love the continuing use of horror in the series. I also really love how much at home I felt playing this game.

    Resident Evil 2 story revolves around Leon Kennedy, a Raccoon City Police Officer and Claire Redfield, sister of Chris Redfield from the original game. Both characters have just arrived to Raccoon City unaware of the zombie outbreak that has taken place and now they have to find a way to survive the zombies apocalypse. If you have played the original game, then you know the story beats of this game. There really isn’t anything new added to the story other than the fact that the characters are portrayed better and by the end of the game you end up really caring about all of these characters even the side characters. For me Claire has always been my favorite Resident Evil character and behind her is Leon and this game made me appreciate them more and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

    At first I was disappointed this game wasn’t going to play with tank controls but, luckily I was fine with it in the end because it reminded me of the Revelation games. The only difference is that in those games you can clear out zombies in those games if you wanted to but, in this game they are bullet sponges. Even if you shoot them in the head some of them will still be moving. The only way to get satisfying headshots in this game is with a heavy weapon like a Shotgun or Magnum. This game’s inventory system is pretty much the same one used in Resident Evil 7 so as you explore Resident Evil 2 you should find extra pouches in order to carry more things in your inventory. The key to surviving in Resident Evil 2 comes down to how you want to handle certain rooms will you leave zombie alive and only take out their legs so they won’t run after you or will you clear a room because you know that you will be revisiting certain areas.

    The best thing about Resident Evil 2 is that this game captures the horror element perfectly with its environment and sound designs. Every time I was in a dark room it got to me because I knew what was in the room whether it be a zombie or a licker it was intimidating. Seeing how it takes a lot to take down zombies this time around, this is where the sound makes a real impact because you can just hear the zombies steps, lickers crawling, and worst of all the heavy footsteps of the mighty Tyrant. The first time I saw the Tyrant I almost got a heart attack. When I thought I could take him down, he would throw a mighty swing at me and it was at that moment when I knew bullets weren’t gonna help me this time. And while you can escape from the Tyrant, this is where now more than ever you need to stay quiet meaning you better not sprint, encounter zombies, or shoot bullets otherwise the Tyrant will know where you are. Everytime I could hear the Tyrant’s steps I would get goosebumps because he can be anywhere nearby and all I can hope for is for him to walk away from where I am.
    Resident Evil 2 REmake is everything I wanted it be and while my first playthrough of the game lasted about 6 hours and later that number would decrease when I tried out Leon’s campaign and what was once 6 hours turned to 4 ½ hours. And as for the 2nd run they took less time because at that point I knew the layout of Resident Evil 2 so exploring became simple and the puzzles weren’t too difficult even with the change up. The best outcome of this game was the fact that I grew to like the cast of Resident Evil 2 more in this game which I appreciated. The most important question for me would the remake make it so I never want to play the original game. The only reason why I thought about this was because while I can still enjoy the original Resident Evil, the fact of the matter is the remake of Resident Evil 1 is so good that I don’t really want to play the original version anymore. I thought the same would happen to Resident Evil 2 but, with the remake not even using Tank controls I thought both games are the same but, play so differently that if a scenario were to happen where I can either play the remake or the original I would feel like there is no wrong answer. Both games are great and I can’t go wrong with either which is great because now I have two version of Resident Evil 2 that I can go back to.    … Expand

It's just stupid (I can easily beat original RE2 almost blindfolded...). They played their Dark Souls card here to dodge any criticism at the poor execution.

    - to reiterate, I had no issues at all with RE2 control scheme, it was perfect. This stupid over the shoulder view makes the game unplayable.

    - in original RE2 you could kill zombies, here you can't, no matter what. Which basically means you need to run like crazy through the whole level, skipping everything, reading nothing and using an online guide to solve puzzles, because you can't collect the various clues.

    - pixel-perfect precision is required in aiming. Which basically means it's impossible to kill anything, because you have to aim at the head, which is basically impossible with a console controller. I don't care what people say about this, in RE2 you could aim at the head, here you simply can't. Almost 20 years later and you can't aim at the head of an enemy, it's simply ridiculous.

    - graphics and audio are ok, the only thing really.

    badly executed game, they just thrown in a bunch of assets from RE7 and pushed the difficulty level to 11, so they can create artificial gameplay and people will play the "git gud" card to avoid criticism.

    Games like this should never even be allowed on the market, it's a scam, pure and simple.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is quintessential Resident Evil and does the original justice.

    Gameplay is everything fans have been asking for with enough tweaks to make the game feel like a new experience. Zombie limbs can be shot off, Lickers are terrifying again, and Mr. X has a more imposing presence than the original. Zombie mechanics have been overhauled, and they are more dangerous than they've ever been before.

    The return of defense items and gun powder are welcome additions to the game. With Gun Powder first being present in Resident Evil 3, and defense items making their debut in Resident Evil Remake. Their inclusion pays homage to a time where these two concepts were groundbreaking on their own.

    In stark contrast of the more action-oriented entries in the series, gameplay feels claustrophobic and terrifying. Ammo scarcity brings back the feeling of classic horror. Puzzles retain characteristics of their origins back in 1998, but are different enough that players of the original will not be able to breeze through unchallenged.

When you play, notice how fluid the zombies move and take note at how their mouths move with every terrifying groan. It's amazing. Just don't stare too long or you'll end up with a high death count by the game's end.

    This game is a true re-imaging of the original. Without going in to any detail, they have taken the most significant parts of Leon and Claire's original story, tweaked a few details, and produced a streamlined experience that will feel familiar and different at the same time. It's great knowing that while they didn't stray too far from the story and game-play of the original, it's just different enough that you don't feel like you're playing the exact same game 20 years later. They did a great job with the remake of the first Resident Evil and kept that same thought process with this game.

    This game almost got a 9 due to the length of the campaigns. I have only finished the main scenario of one character and was shocked by the completion time. I finished the campaign in under 10 hours which was a bit disappointing when you think of other games that have main stories that take anywhere from 15-20 hours to finish. The score went back to a 10 when I rationalized that the replayability of this game is massive. Each character has their own main campaign that may take roughly 10 hours to complete, plus each have a "2nd Run" campaign which will show you what Character B was doing while you were playing the main campaign for Character A. If those side scenarios take even half the time of the main campaigns to beat you are looking at a 30 hour experience, at least. And there's a good chance you didn't find everything during your first play-through, so chances are you will tackle the campaigns again in short order.

    Resident Evil has been my favorite video game series since its debut. These remakes have definitely revitalized my interest after a few missteps with the previous titles. Capcom scored a home run with this game in my opinion. Now is the time to begin the petition for an RE3 and Resident Evil Outbreak remake. If RE2 turned out this great I can't wait to see what they will have in store with future Resident Evil remakes.    … Expand

    Doesn't top Resident evil 4. But is an incredible remake. An intense horror game that will scare the hell out of you playing with headphones on in a darkroom. This is a legit zombie game that will hook you into the Resident Evil atmosphere. Not another open world chore game. This game is somewhat of a challenge and the average casual gamer will struggle without using a guide. Lots ofDoesn't top Resident evil 4. But is an incredible remake.

Lots of puzzles and if you are a trophy hunter like me you will be discouraged at the 3.5 and less hour game completions needed. Hardcore mode will make you throw your controller across the room (not all of us are high skilled in these games) but I enjoy standard mode. Graphics arent breath taking but sound effects are bone chilling amazing. Capcom really earned my $60 on this one.… Expand

    RE2 been one of my favourite games of all time. This is a worthy remake. I read some of the "0" reviews here. They have clearly not played the original game. This is not a modern shooter you can go gun blazing. Limited ammo and careful approach is the key elements.
    I love this game.

    Este juego es absolutamente increíble, supera al original en todo, yo he jugado mas de media docena de veces al original RE2 y es uno de mis Resident evil favorito de todos los tiempos, lo que Capcom hizo con este remake es sencillamente una obra de arte.

    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.
