rumour: Resident Evil 2 remake incoming?
- Thread starter Dash Kappei
- Start date
I see Rash's point. It even makes sense financially (with the little knowledge I have). An RE2 remake would be a large project but it would probably sell well based on the sales figures for the last two RE Wii titles. Even though it will be a remake, it'll probably be new to most Wii owners.
That project could in turn fuel development of the next major title (presumably RE6) which will take years to be produced and released. It isn't very realistic to expect a full blown HD remake at this point. Capcom doesn't need to do considering they have plenty of other HD games in development such as Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2.

If RE2Make happens, I want it to be a mega-remake that goes RE3 Day 1 -> RE2 -> RE3 Day 2, adds some of the RE3 refinements (mainly the quick turn) to RE2's bits, resolves all the continuity errors between the two, and ties the story together a little bit (like having UBCS people show up during RE2's story and maybe let Claire/Leon get a glimpse of the Nemesis, who would be totally disinterested in them). I've posted about this before and I'm going to keep posting about it until it happens because it'd be the best thing ever. Call it RE: Raccoon City Chronicles and I'd buy any console for it.

When it comes to RE2, I'll take almost anything (except a portable port), just please update it already. It deserves it. We deserve it.

If we're going REmake style lets do it with the best graphics that we can, and then port downward PS3/360 then port. The Gamecube was a graphics beast, and the game really benefited from it.
Most likely though it's just going to be Capcom announcing RE2 for PSN US store, Virtual Console, DS, and PSP...if there is a console believe it will be ported.

I hate these threads because we already had a thread like this when resident evil remake was announced on the cube and everyone thought that they would remake every resident evil.
Well they didn't, and I doubt capcom will spend their time into remaking older resident evil games, they like to port games NOT REMAKE THEM.

Would Capcom really be crazy enough to release RE2 yet again unaltered? The best bet for that would be the DS, as the game's already on PSP in Japan.
RE2 on DS with the same improvements as Deadly Silence... yum.
I think 360 owners deserve a compilation pack though. RE1 (Director's Cut + DC Dual Shock), RE2, RE3, CV, perhaps the Gun Survivors in a single disc package. Would be quite a good value.

That probably depends on how far behind their port division is these days...man those guys are overworked.

Bah. Except that Gamecube's sales didn't exactly pan out as Capcom and Nintendo had hoped.
I actually see the chance of having 2&maybe3 remakes for Wii. (so 0>1>2>3>4>5 Wii HD edition).
I say Capcom should go for HD consoles if it's a remake retaining the same gameplay mechanics of the original and a new sidestory, maybe a 3d and 4rth scenario, for the Wii with 4Wii Edition gameplay.
*IF* they're indeed going with Re4's style of gameplay then just do it for Wii, we already have RE5 for our fix of HD RE with dual-analog controls.
Also the ensuing meltdowns would make for one fucking hilarious thread.

don't get your hopes up. Its probably RE2 coming to XBLA or something.

There seems to be a lot of talk about the Wii here...
Is it just assumed that if the remake goes ahead, it will be for the Wii?
Personally I'd like to see it on the other consoles so it can bask in the maximum possible graphical splendour, but that's just me!

If they do remake Resident Evil 2 I just hope they keep the ridiculous RE4 Wii Edition "dummy cursor" out of the game. Just stick with the Laser Sight that the original versions of RE4 had. You'd figure by going to more accurate aiming controls the laser sight would have been perfect, not some large blind mans cursor coming on screen. Oh, and hopefully they do it for all three consoles so some of you guys can stop whining over which platform of choice you want it on.
That'd be nice to see. Basically having 1080p HD versions of Remake, Zero, RE4, and the potential RE2 remake all in one package for 360/PS3 while tossing RE3 & RECV on XBLA. Something like the Resident Evil version of The Orange Box. I guess they'd call it The Item Box or something less stupid.

Why would Capcom make it for the Wii? Hell they broke their exclusivity deal with Nintendo becasue the damn thing wouldn't sell.

Yeah, but they found success on the Wii so obviously this isn't the case now.Christopher said:

Probably a release on PSN/XBL.
But I want Resident Evil 6 to take place in the city again, like RE2. That game had such an awesome atmosphere in the early part of the game. I want that again, in now-gen glory!

I just hope they keep anything to do with RE4 away. I don't want QTE Mr. X encounters or Leon doing pile drivers and final atomic busters on Lickers.

I'm not really an achievements type of game, but RE2 would have some awesome achievements put into it.

When i play my FF7 DVD on my CRT and my friend is playing his BluRay version on his HDTV all i see is the same as my DVD version, just more crisp/clear.
The BluRay version don't add stuff not there in the DVD version, it doesn't add 2 million polygons anywhere, all you gain is a more sharp/clear/crisp image, it's PRE-RENDERED remember?
So making a pre-rendered version on Wii or Xb360/Ps3 won't show much difference, sure the HDTV version will be able to show a more sharp/clear/crisp image compared to the same in Wii, but thats it.

RE2 has the luxury of taking place in areas that have spread across into other RE games. :lol
RE3 featured the western half of the RPD.
Outbreak File 2 and Umbrella Chronicles featured the eastern half (lol).
Outbreak File 1 featured most of the lab. RE0 featured the top portion of it.

Poh. True enough :lol
I was trying to put forth something quasi-realistic though. Alright then... a HD console version and a legit PC version (for the true graphical connoisseur)
On a more serious note... where are those shots from?

RE2 remake was announced yesterday at the Nintendo conference, along with a re-remake of RE1...but this time its realtime 3d.

Those look like they could be running on the RE4 engine.
The shot from behind Ada looks like it's real time. The ones at the top are obviously CG, but the others don't look beyond what RE4 was doing on Gamecube. With a little extra power for a dedicated Wii game I'll believe this is legit.
