Hello RE fans! This is H again!
Right after the RE HD Remaster project was finished, I actually started putting together my ideas for this "RE2 Project". So, I just brushed it up and went to see my boss to present the basic concept of the project already

It's happening! Now, who is H?

Edit: GAF strikes again

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

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. He's also the producer of REHD

 

[Spieler Eins]

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.

 

[Muffin Awesome]

I would definitely purchase this game, hopefully it will follow suit and make its way to PC like the first one.

 

[Stevey]

God, I hope it happens.

 

[mattp]

i doubt this random capcom employee is just allowed to go post about pitching game ideas on facebook lol

which means, capcom is doing this on purpose as viral marketing to hype this up

to which i say, man if this is't a legit REmake2 people are gonna be fucking PISSED

you're playing with fire, capcom

don't pull a square enix "ff7 hd at psx" announcement

 

[Wario64]

It said after RE HD was finished, not today (nevermind, they started getting ideas at that time)

 

[Audioboxer]

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes.

Yes.

Spoiler

Fuck Konami.

 

[plebegamer]

H is obviously Hunk you tools, gawd.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

SFV exclusive to PS4/PC.
RE7 exclusive to Xbone.
REmake 2 exclusive to NX.

Mega Man exclusively dead.

 

[Stevey]

It said after RE HD was finished, not today

He started the idea of it as soon as it was finished, he's presenting it today.

 

[Manu]

Don't fuck this up Capcom. Please.

 

[BTHR Zero X]

I do not think H is from the US Office, But I glad to see this ball maybe rolling

 

[malfcn]

They better not be toying.

 

[Cave Johnson]

I never saw the point of changing the title to "Resident Evil". Biohazard is a more consistent theme to the series from 1 to 4.

 

[Ahasverus]

It said after RE HD was finished, not today

That he worked on ideas. I thought he just pitched. Do you know who H might be?

 

[DieH@rd]

:O

 

[Vorg]

Omg Yes!

 

[Wario64]

That he worked on ideas. I thought he just pitched. Do you know who H might be?

Hopefully not related to G

 

[SolarPowered]

I'll buy it at high price and I'll buy RE3make at an even higher price!

 

[Seyavesh]

!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[King_Moc]

Don't fuck around with me Capcom! I appreciate the transparency if it's real though, the industry is far too secretive.

 

[Z3M0G]

WOOOOOOO!!!

DO IT RIGHT!

 

[Off-Kilter]

Guys capcom will probably say no

 

[encephalon]

Oh my god, they are having so much fun with this.

Spoiler

I'm honestly giddy with excitement.

Guys capcom will probably say no

You're witnessing the beginning of Capcom's marketing campaign.

 

[saher]

Hiroyuki Kobayashi?

 

[kamineko]

Who's H? Where's Newsbot? Am I awake?

 

[Fermbiz]

Do it

 

[artsi]

This is an interesting way of doing PR from a big developer, publishing in Facebook about (still internal) future projects, but I like it.

 

[BadWolf]

If this is true then Capcom might be taking a page from the current Square Enix in becoming more open with their fans.

 

[Vorg]

Hopefully not related to G

I hope he didn't suffer...

Spoiler

... like G did.

 

[Wario64]

It says Take 5 on the paper

 

[Dance Inferno]

Watch it be a 1080p remaster of the PSX version of RE2.

 

[Tiops]

Will we finally get a RE better than REmake???

Please be true!

 

[BTHR Zero X]

I never saw the point of changing the title to "Resident Evil". Biohazard is a more consistent theme to the series from 1 to 4.

There is a band in the west called Biohazard. So it was a copywrite thing.

 

[Spieler Eins]

I hope he didn't suffer...

from G-Virus? /rimshot

 

[Jawmuncher]

Presents Biohazard 2 pitch

Boss looks at it."You know this is cool and all, but I think our efforts would be better focused on a new Dino Crisis game".

Everybody wins

 

[vareon]

H is Hideki! Quick, someone tweet him about it!

Spoiler

Don't.

 

[SleazyC]

I'd buy this five times over if it was remade.

Best RE game hands down in my opinion.

 

[Ahasverus]

There is a band in the west called Biohazard. So it was a copywrite thing.

A terrible, defunct band.

 

[bryanee]

lol I just squealed like a child.

 

[raven777]

2015.7.31... so it was pitched today.

Take 5 means he has pitched them 4 times before already?

 

[E_Darkness]

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

 

[benicillin]

The hype is real, friends.

 

[Golnei]

Mega Man exclusively dead.

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

I never saw the point of changing the title to "Resident Evil". Biohazard is a more consistent theme to the series from 1 to 4.

Apparently it was only changed because they couldn't trademark it in the US?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

THANK YOU

 

[F0rneus]

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

It's genius marketing. I can't believe we are on the cusp of a RE2 remake.

 

[Interrobang]

Progenitor of the H-virus....

 

[Ahasverus]

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

 

[ArtHands]

Was going to make a thread but was on phone

They might as well confirm it now

 

[MetalSlug]

As long as it's nothing like RE4/5/6.
