I really hope this does well. I want a RE3 remake with the Nemesis chasing you all over the god damn place after this.
Give it another decade. Maybe we’ll get a trailer for one of them by then lol.I was expecting a shiny paint job like they did with REmake and RE0. I was pretty blown away when the trailer was shown to be RE2. Pretty hyped for this, after all these years, it's still my favorite RE out there. Would love to see RE3 and Code Veronica get the same treatment.
REmake was a lot more than a shiny paint job.I was expecting a shiny paint job like they did with REmake and RE0. I was pretty blown away when the trailer was shown to be RE2.

Can't tell the difference.
I was expecting the TLoU2 or Cyberpunk2077 trailers to be the highlight of E3, but the RE2 trailer & demo just blew everything else out of the water.
I've been waiting for this for 16 years. I was a member of a RE message board called New-Blood, and we were all hyped up about RE2 being remade after the REmake was so awesome.
Little did we know at the time the REmake was not a financial success because it was on GameCube. That fact alone significantly hurt its sales being on a system mainly for kids. Who the hell would have ever predicted it would be a HUGE success over a decade later when it was finally ported over to newer systems?
I mean, RE4 had been ported over to damn near everything that could hook up to a screen... yet the idiots at Capcom never figured out the REmake would have somewhat of a similar success?
Anyway... back the the new RE2. I thought this game was in development hell since it was announced... was it three years ago now? Or four?... and there's not been a damn thing announced about it since, including last January on RE2's 20th anniversary.
I wasn't expecting a trailer & demo, but a cancellation announcement.
So when I'm surfing YouTube for new trailers, and one came up under suggestions - 'E3 2018 Resident Evil 2 Trailer' I verbally said "You gotta be fucking kidding me."
Saw the trailer.... and wow... I mean wow... everything I imagined what a RE2 remake to look like in 2018 is right there.
*No stupid campiness.
*No retarded villains.
*No superhero martial arts moves.
*No tank controls.
*No fixed camera angles.
*No bright enviroments at night.
This is Resident Evil at its purest, which we haven't seen in over 16 fucking years.
I have a rule about getting excited for games based on trailers & demos, but goddamn it I'm breaking that rule for this game.
Although Capcom hasn't been the best developer in forever (seriously, when was the last game they released that was 10/10?). I'm putting my faith on the Las Vegas betting lines that this game is going to be awesome.
Narrively, RE2 & RE3 was the franchise's high point because the Raccoon City setting was awesome. Then C:V, RE4, RE5, & RE6 went off to various locations throughout the world that weren't ever anywhere as cool as Racoon City.
Though, the Antartica base in C:V may have been the lone exception.
Resident Evil may be granted a second chance to be revived to correct the mistakes of the original games, and continue on as it should have.
I love 4 but I replayed the game last week on PS4 and it felt like such a slog at times. Not to mention how annoying Ashley is.I think you're downplaying how amazing Resident Evil 4 is. 2 is a great game but 4 is the best in the series. Probably my favorite game of all time.

Objectively it’s a better game but I’ve played RE2 through probably 50 times and it never gets old for me.
