CV has some really bad game design flaws in parts so I can get behind you with that one. But RE3 is garbage? lol.

Not at all. However, there are genuine reasons why each isn't exactly BIO2 quality.
BIO3 was originally "BIO1.9", a small-scale indie-style game. They bumped up the scale midway but it's still rather reminiscent of its former self. Despite that it's still a solid, great game.
CV wasn't developed by CAPCOM.
Not reading the OP has become sacrosanct around these parts.
It's kind of gross to see people clamoring for a fan-made remake to receive a cease & desist. Regardless of the potential quality of the final product, they're obviously doing it out of love for the series rather than for profit (which they can't make). If you don't like it, continue pretending it doesn't exist.
Nice.
honestly I'm glad it's not a rehash after RE2 , but I didn't like a thing about it. That goes double for it's puzzles

Capcom should just REmake RE2 and be done with it.
No, they are not. They are some of the best in the series.
yeah sure buddy
I prefer RECVX over RE4.
I acknowledge it's obvious flaws, but it's pretty much the best behind RE2 when it comes to classic RE gameplay and atmosphere.

Mah man.
RE3 is beast.
What are you going on about ?
I personally love CV and its a lot better than any of the new garbage.

I think this looks really good!
But then I love RE2 the most.

It said they're giving two types of cameras, the old style and the RE4 type. That's pretty smart, as it caters to people of both camps (Those who loved the wonderful old games and those who like the abominations that ruined RE after CV).
Obviously I'd much prefer the former with fixed camera angles, but I do understand that others might like the RE4 style. It's also in a very early state obviously, so it's a little too early to judge it as being awful right away.
However, like others here have said, it probably wasn't too smart to show this off in such an early state, it's just asking for C&D. Capcom is notorious for trying to shut down things like this. They're probably afraid they'll eventually be shown up by an small group of fan developers with they're own IP, considering the sorry state they're in these days.

the RPD prescient looks so clean...totally missing the gritty and dark feeling of the originals

How is changing the camera angle missing the point of the original game when...it changes nothing but the camera?

I don't think RE2 is action packed enough to warrant the over-the-shoulder TPS gameplay that RE4 invented. Don't get me wrong, I love RE4's combat and gameplay, but it just doesn't fit the more adventure-driven level design of RE2. That game was more about hunting down key items and solving simple puzzles. RE2's combat was kept purposefully simplistic to account for the game's clunky controls and weird camera angles.
Great locations.
Great sountrack.
Improved gameplay while still mantaining the classic tank controls.
Memorable enemies.
How is it a mistake?

The only mistake in my mind is calling it "3" instead of Resident Evil: Side Story or Resident Evil 2.5.

I suppose as an option, it's an interesting choice that would allow players to better explore their favorite environments, but from a pure gameplay standpoint, there's no way to balance RE classic and RE4-style gameplay. Combat balance is not designed for the accuracy that a free-roaming camera would allow (assuming they give you RE4-style targeting alongside the RE4 camera. At that point, it kind of stops being a RE2 remake and becomes a new game in RE2 environments.
locations suck. Mess of a circle of a city map.
improved? Fucking dodging shit never worked right.
Enemies were awful.

Hope Capcom kills it, but only to resurrect it themselves. I'd love a RE 2 remake. Who wouldn't?

No pre-rendered backgrounds ?

This, RE4 has tank controls just like the original games, they only thing they changed was the camera, and giving you a bit more freedom when aiming. Looking at the footage, it seemed Leon's gun didn't have a crosshair or laser sight when aiming, which means it would be harder to hit enemies when using the over the shoulder camera.
Lol at people saying it looks like RE4 gameplay. I didn't see a single melee attack, so as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't look anything like RE4.
As for the quality of the game, it's fan made, and I assume they're not gonna try and charge money for it, so whatever. They should keep at it. If Capcom shuts them down, oh well. The worst to come from that would be just getting people's hopes up that Capcom is considering a proper remake.

People really should NOT announce stuff like this before completion. They'll just get shut down.
If things go well though, they should be able to port this pretty much everywhere because it's running on Unity.
