Resident Evil 2 Remake Approved For Development
- Thread starter Wuodan
- Start date
I'd post a dancing gif to show how excited I am but I don't know any good ones. Either way, this is pretty awesome news.
I hope they attempt to make the presentation and characters akin to the remade RE2 scenes in Darkside Chronicles. Leon and Claire's banter were my favorite part of that game, and the other characters were interesting too.
If it's anything like RE4 and onwards or Alyson Court isn't Claire then it's an instant fail, but if Capcom pulls through and delivers a REmake quality game then Capcom will be officially redeemed and Konami will be the new Capcom.

The only reason that the RE1 remake was so close to its source material is because the director and series creator directed both games.
As for RE2, the director & producer has left Capcom, while the writer has passed away.
That should be enough indication that the remake of RE2 won't be as "faithful" as RE1 & its remake.
While Yoshiaki Hirabayashi may have been involved in REmake HD, remember that he's also the scenario writer for RE5 and the producer of RE6.
Whether it's 'old' or 'new' style is kinda 50-50.
Furthermore, despite the whole thing being Hirabayashi's fanboy dream, he's only the producer.
The ones that decide the gameplay and scenarios will be the director and writer.
So if the likes of Yasuhiro Anpo (director of RE5 & Revelations 2) or Eiichiro Sasaki (director of Outbreak series & RE6) got a role as the remake's director, say hello to OTS RE2.

Dude, I would be happy with a PS3 port like all the other PS2 classics in their library.
Correct me if I was wrong, I heard that this was actually fan's most requested game to be remade in the whole franchise?

That's right. It's one of the best sequels and games ever made and also an absolute fan favorite. However it's pretty dated by now hence a remaster wouldn't work. That's also a reason everyone wants it to be remade.

Konami is already worst than Capcom. Recent revelations have made it clear they're just a horrible company to work under.
*Whimper*
Looking around the net and even Capcom's official forums, the reaction to RE2 remake announcement is rather weak.
The internet didn't really set itself on fire nor explode upon the official confirmation of the second game's remake.
Maybe the RE2 remake isn't as "highly demanded" as some people make it out to be.
Not much about the game but producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi mentions that feedback from Resident Evil 6 is taken on board for the project.
Not surprising, since Hirabayashi is also the producer of RE6.
Yasuhiro Anpo also used feedback he got from directing RE5 when he directed Revelations 2.
