Resident Evil 2 Remake is 'Rebuilt From the Ground Up,' Capcom Clarifies

Can they at least tell us if it's over the shoulder or tank controls!?

i hope they realize this is a sequel to the 02 remake & realize they have that to live up to.

resident evil 2 is great, play it fully on the n64, hopefully Capcom add a over the should game play to it.

I'm excited. This was the first Resident Evil game I ever played and the first Survival horror I played. I really loved it and I hope they do a good job on it.

Capcom I swear to god if you **** this up, I'm taking the kids and leaving.

I'm a huge Resident Evil fan, I even like the live action movies, but I'm completely against remakes. I just can't get into a game if I already know all the story and most of the secrets. Capcom should stick with Revelations and regular numbered sequels.

They already pretty clearly said it was a complete remake of the game.

I trust them to put out nothing but shit. They will ruin my RE2. I'm not living in fear about it, but I know for certain they are going to **** my game up. Every last possible aspect they can ruin, they will ruin it. They'll change the dialog, change the music, change those charming menu sounds, change the inventory UI, change the map, change the gun names, change the items, add in crimson heads, totally change the layout of the city and RPD and the lab, change the canon as much as possible (not that RE2 didn't already change some canon in the first place) to fit more in line with their shitty retcons to REmake, they'll add in new bosses that don't need to exist, it's going to be dreadful. They're treading on hallowed ground when they do these remakes, and the thing is RE2 was far more popular and beloved than the first game .Not that there will be any backlash, because we're all spineless clowns that just buy anything they give us.

I swear to the old gods and the new if they use Claire's fucking horrible meth addict shitty model from Revelations 2 and don't at least TRY to make her look like she did in RE2, RE Degeneration, Darkside Chronicles, or ORC, I'm burning all of my RE merchandise and games including my RE action figures, my RE zippo, everything. I have a lot of it, too, worth a lot of money. On that note if they could kindly not use unremarkable RE6 Ada and generic muscles Leon from RE4 onwards that would be great too.

And I'll buy it anyway like a fucking retard. And complain about it because it is guaranteed to have 1 thing that I hate.

They should add RE3 as a third scenario in this game... after all it would make sense.

After this a RE3 remake should definitely be implemented

I am SO down for this game! But now that I know it's a remake, (which is want I wanted, I hated the original game's tank controls), I'm hoping they keep the original spirit of the game, and possibly borrow from games Dead Space. Update the control scheme, take out the attache case so you're constantly immersed (a la Dead Space and to a lesser extent, RE5), but use discretion with enemy spawns. Quality over quantity! Dead Space, (the original, and to a lesser extent, DS2), did a great job of having a few key large fights, but for the most part, you had long stretches of just wondering when the hell you were about to be attacked again. Keep the ammo sparse and spend a lot of time on the Ada and Sherry sections so that having them around makes them a mixed blessing. If having a partner means they bring a benefit, (like being able to bypass locks, find more ammo, watch you back, etc., then a slight drawback such as health management or underpowered weaponry/heightened vulnerability would a good compromise.

Also, now that hit detection has gotten so good in games, maybe have some fun and experiment around with the zombie types. If the controls were similar to Dead Space, I think it'd be killer fun to have to target the head for citizen zombies, but have to switch for zombie SWAT officers who have head protection from when they died, or Nat'l Guard zombies who may have had full body armor before getting bitten.

And for the love of God... don't make it a QTE fest like RE6 was! The fun and tension comes from the long stretches between bad guys and the crap-your-pants moments of facing something like a licker armed with only your knife, a pistol, and your will to get to the next save point!

The original RE2 was so good... and now with shows out like The Walking Dead, and a plethora of zombie films that have come out since this game was released, there's a lot of great reference material for what a city of zombies can look like and the perils of being completely overwhelmed and under-gunned can look like. I haven't been excited about RE in a long time, but I'm VERY excited for what this game could potentially be!

Come on Capcom, I need this to be as great as when Resident Evil Remake was first shown off. I need the same music but only remixed a little. I need more areas, more puzzles, more outfits, and more guns. I want great zombie kill shots with blood splatter on walls and floors. I want realistic bloody foot steps. I want more enemies and more Tyrants busting through walls to make me pee in my pants all over again. Please just work with Shinji mikami again and my wet Resident Evil dream will be fulfilled.

Don't get too excited. If I know capcom as well as I think I do, then Claire will be one game and Leon will be available as DLC. You know it's true...

@brande77: The same idiots who consider REmake a remastered version of RE1, and not a full remake. So people who have a tenuous grasp on the remaster/remake terminology in general.

Don't screw this up Capcom.

Just wanna thank the guy who took the time to remake RE2 himself which got Capcom's attention. The fans, myself included, have been asking for this for years like the article says. Its about time. I can't wait. Please don't **** this up. & look into Dino Crisis remakes as well. Dino Crisis 1 & 2 are classics imo.

As long as it's so much like the old games in terms of atmosphere and gameplay and NOTHING like the rotten steamin' pile of shit like "resident evil" 5, 6, 7, Revelations and the operation raccoon city, I'll be very interested.

Not been interested in a Resident game since number 4.

About fecking time!! Although if the new ones were any good we wouldn't need it but alas they're not. Bring on some classic Resident Evil and not a run and gun zombie fest.

More like Claireifies. Am I right?

I couldn't care what the jerks are writing below. Capcom have made some really great games recently so I know this is going to be worth the wait.

Make it as good as the first remake and they will be on to a massive win.

Ignore the haters capcom, remakes is a great strategy in terms of efficiency and costumer service, what the self centered idiots below fail to realize is that there are plenty of people who entered the RE series in a much later state and most people especially new gen gamers can't jump and play the original games because they are heavily outdated, a remake allows people to get more into the series and allow nostalgia fans to relive the classics using current gen technology, even the haters bitching about getting a new game will get the remakes, so just do what you do capcom! and I hope they become encourage to remake other classics like Megaman and Megaman X, (Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X were awesome games and deserve more sequels)

Just make a new one that's good. It's not hard. Steal ideas from the competition. Evil Within. Dying Light, Dead Rising, Last of Us, Bloodborne, PT. All of them have great Horror and Survival elements to take.

Wish we could have a release date for it already. Oh well... pretty sure RE3: Nemesis remake will be coming up after this one (i hope so).

When you have no talent to produce new quality products, you look at your past games and regurgitate them while hoping people buy em again. Crapcom's Motto.
