In the original game there was Leon A, Claire A, Leon B and Claire B, with Claire A and Leon B happening at the same time, and visa versa, and the story cleverly intersecting at different points, with the B scenarios having a Tyrant in a green trenchcoat stalking you, while the person doing A route deals with the ever-transforming William Birkin. Better than Ada’s section mind you, which involved unlocking electric switches… While it was quite tense, the Sherry stealth section with Chief Irons weren’t much fun. It’s inconsistent and sometimes annoying…
A small gripe comes from some zombies taking six or nine headshots to take down, while others go down to just three.
I’ll talk about the sound design more later, but especially in your first playthrough you’ll be constantly tense as you explore the locations offered in the game, it’s great stuff. The main thing to say about the Remake is the atmosphere.

New to the Remake are wooden boards you can place across windows to stop zombie break-ins, a map that shows rooms as red if they contain items you haven’t collected yet (and blue if you’ve cleared it) and thanks to the new dynamic lighting, a lot of slowly walking around corridors with only the light of your torch to show you where possible death is waiting for you.

Other early Resi staples, like herbs (which can of course be mixed together!), saving at a typewriter (although now you don’t need a limited amount of ink ribbon… plus it autosaves before bosses and the like anyway…) and unlocking doors by using specific keys, keys which often are locked behind puzzles involving statues and medallions and the like, are all present and accounted for. If you go back and read my reviews of the original Resi trilogy I said how, nostalgia aside, the tank controls are really horrible nowadays, so I for one was happy to hear of the change!įrom the new third person perspective you can still do all the usual things, from walking, running, shooting, and door opening (now without loading times!), just from directly behind your chosen protagonist.
While you still move around a creepy Police Station, solve puzzles, find keys to new areas, fight a couple of bosses and eventually end up in a lab, it’s all done with a modern, over-the-shoulder perspective, rather than the fixed cameras and tank controls. Resident Evil 2’s remake has more in common with some of the more recent Resident Evil titles than the PS1 era. Resi 2 Remake was released just a bit over 20 years after the original Resident Evil 2, a lot longer than the six years in between the original Resident Evil and its remake. All these years later and it finally arrived worldwide on January 25 th 2019, for PS4, XBOX One and PC.
Resident Evil 2’s remake had been a rumour / fan request ever since Capcom superbly remade the original game on the Gamecube. … Might be best to turn the flashlight back off… While I still have one or two gripes, let’s take a deeper look at one of the best Resi games in a long time… Seems strange to cover a remake of a game I’ve already covered on this blog, given it’s only been running for a few years (and games weren’t being reviewed for a good chunk of that), but here we are! The Resident Evil 2 Remake managed to not only be a great game in and of itself, but a game that lives up to the lofty legacy of the original Resident Evil Reamke, which still stands as one of the best entries in the series.
