'' 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.

    As a new player into the series of Resident Evil, I felt that I've been missing out the classic horror series after playing the fantastic remake. 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.

    Resident evil 2 Remake is everything that I was hoping it would be. The game envisions how Resident evil 2 was meant to be. Fear lurks around every dark corner and your senses are turned to survival to survive the night.

This is a classic game just like the original and sets the benchmark what made the Resident Evil series great from beginning. Great job development team.

    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.

    Pros:
    One of the best looking PS4 games to date
    Great atmosphere
    Good story, sticks to the original
    Survival horror at it's finest
    Great locations based on original
    Great soundtrack that stays true to original
    Cons:
    Some of the original documents and story elements were missing in journals
    Would have been nice to have larger areas to explore and venture that were new
    More zombies that could come rushing through the windows or wondering the city streets

    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.

    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.

    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.
