This would be so awesome! RE2 was the one I grew up with and played the most as a child.

 

[SerTapTap]

Bamco, Squeenix, allegedly Sega, now possibly Capcom, it's like the big Japanese third parties realized they were completely awful last gen and are making up for it.

Spoiler

Stay losing, Konami

 

[JayEH]

Nice.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Oh my god just fucking do it

 

[encephalon]

The text says　新規再生計画　which terribly translated means New Rebirth Plan or whatever.

 

[Caronte]

I want optional tank controls.

 

[BadWolf]

How many years do you guys think it will take to develop?

 

[kamineko]

Our first clue for H is that he worked on REmake HD isn't it?

Yes! Good call.

 

[raven777]

It would be funny if this was a troll and they announce the REmake next week at gamescom.

 

[Audioboxer]

Someone has to recognize that carpet and put things together.

 

[artsi]

Who is H? Better someone who comprehends the remarkable game design of both RE2 and REmake, while not taking a single glance at RE4-6.

The paper says 平林 良章 (Yoshiaki Hirabayashi), he's a producer at Capcom.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2041812/

Yoshiaki Hirabayashi worked as a motion capture engineer for the remake of Resident Evil and as a Scenario writer in the Script department for Resident Evil 5.
As a producer for Resident Evil 6, Hirabayashi wrote a message to Resident Evil fans regarding Jill and Claire's appearance in the game; his referral to "other great characters" suggested that they would not appear.

[Tricky I Shadow]

Totally happening.

 

[Golnei]

I want optional tank controls.

Giving a full remake fewer control options than the N64 port would be disappointing.

Spoiler

Stay losing, Konami

 

[Scotia]

Holy fucking shit how is this real life

 

[Seyavesh]

The paper says 平林 良章 (Yoshiaki Hirabayashi), he's a producer at Capcom.

he's also the producer of REmake HD and the one who got that project off the ground supposedly

 

[UrbanRats]

I found RE2 pretty damn boring in my replay, but if they do a REmake level remake, i'll buy it D1 all the same.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Don't be so pessimistic, I'm sure Fuze's console has a bright future ahead of it.

Have you heard the good news about the award-winning Mighty No. 9?

 

[ArtHands]

H is yoshiaki hirabayashi

 

[5amshift]

The pitch better go smoothly.

 

[BadWolf]

So this is legit?

 

[TheSpoiler]

Please stop

I can't handle all this good gaming news

2015 you have to stop

 

[ZeroCDR]

I think it's weird they're being this open about the process.

Mega Man Legends 3 vibes, I totally do not want to get my hopes up but I can't help it. Thankfully Resident Evil is a much stronger brand and the demand seems to be there.

 

[maniac-kun]

Fuck yea!

 

[raven777]

What is Jun Takeuchi doing these days? I haven't really heard about him since RE5 and revelations.

 

[supernormal]

Ok CAPCOM you have one job. REmake style for this. Pre-rendered backgrounds, fixed cameras, and tank controls. Go!

 

[Ghost Slayer]

So RE4-like or REmake-like?

 

[dancrane212]

Fingers crossed!

 

[BadWolf]

Please stop

I can't handle all this good gaming news

2015 you have to stop

2015 has to be the greatest year for gaming announcement to date.

And we still have Gamescom, TGS, Paris Game Show and PSX to go.

 

[Blobbers]

Is this gen literally a dream?

Also, I hope they take many creative freedoms if they do decide to REmake Residen't Evil 2. REmake 1 was fine with being similar to the original because the original didn't age so well.

Resident Evil 2 on the other hand aged gracefully and I'll always keep coming back to it so I hope when making REmake 2 they get crazy with it. Y'know, make the 2 experiences different.

 

[Seyavesh]

people wondering if this is gonna be different style:

THIS GUY IS THE DUDE WHO GOT REMAKE HD PORT TO HAPPEN AFTER OVER 10 YEARS

 

[Mupod]

Ok CAPCOM you have one job. REmake style for this. Pre-rendered backgrounds, fixed cameras, and tank controls. Go!

so, 3D rail shooter? Got it.

Spoiler

Wait, they already did that.

 

[Jigorath]

Go for it Capcom.

 

[bananafactory]

Awwww yeah!!!!

Make sure you guys let Capcom know that we want this!

It's happening! Now, who is H?

Edit: GAF strikes again

 

[supernormal]

So RE4-like or REmake-like?

They were asking for opinions on facebook before today. Most people asked for a REmake style game.

[thehillissilent]

Well, I guess the fan remake is getting a C&D soon.

 

[Jawmuncher]

this guy is the savior of capcom lmao

Dino Crisis 3 (2003)

He was also a villain at one point

 

[Ooccoo]

It's probably Hiroyuki Kobayashi

edit: since he's a producer, might be Shigenori Nishikawa who's a designer and would have to pitch the project to a producer...maybe?

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Welp, I'm excited.

 

[synce]

More Claire, yisssss

 

[Shozuki]

Breathe... just. Breathe...


YESSSSS!

Here, here.

 

[brandonh83]

Why is the room spinning

 

[Elios83]

Really excited if true.

 

[Caffeine]

He was also a villain at one point

D: the game still haunts me to this day however that was his early years he only gets better with time lmao

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

The paper says 平林 良章 (Yoshiaki Hirabayashi), he's a producer at Capcom.

This dude is fucking old school. There may be hope just yet to this project.
