Resident Evil 2 Remake, how would you like yours?

[Smiley]

Not really a series standard as there's only been the one remake. And a remake can be pretty broad in terms of what defines it. I've seen remakes that follow a plot and characters closely and others that mix things around.

If the game was to be modern you need not take much to make it a remake. It could be as basic as having Leon and Claire in the city and fighting BOWs with all new RE6 inspired game play. But that would take a lot more to work out than it's worth. And the reason behind it will always be more gamers for profit.

Weren't you complaining about the lack of survival horror not too long ago? Now you want the old games to have the gameplay style you supposedly dislike? fuck of full mind.

I never said I wanted a remake like that. I just could see such a direction happening with the way the franchise has progressed.

The RE2/RE3 remake I'd want will never happen. So I'm happy with no remake.

That makes more sense. I doubt they will ever go in that direction, personally. The BH1 remake alone wasn't made for money reasons, it was made as Mikami's pet project. Wonder how long it'll be before someone wants a remake of the remake.

I'm sure they'd much rather churn out poorly made, outsourced what-if action games.

Guys! Play nice now!

[Smiley]

Don't we always?

Didn't Kawata say something like "Fans wanted a RE2 remake : here, play Darkside Chronicles, that's as close as you'll ever get to a remake" ? I'm fine with that, actually. I don't want any remake. The first one made perfect sense, but there is absolutely no need to treat RE2 the same way. Of course if they do release one, I'll be jumping around and eventually buy it eyes closed, but Capcom needs to focus on the present, not the past.

I suppose it's technically possible to do a remake that changes everything not confirmed in later games. So you can't have Leon being dead or not there or Raccoon City not being blown into itty bit collector's editions, but you could make it so Ben doesn't die (I'm pretty sure he isn't mentioned in any later games or even files) or so that Ada is actually a transexual. It never specifically states she doesn't have a pulsing length of man meat tucked away, after all.

On the other hand, there comes a point where there's no longer a point in calling it a remake. ORC wasn't even a remake, but it changed so much (pretty much everything but 'zombies are happening' and ' this room looks kinda like you remember it') to such a point that it would have been better off, and caught less flak, if they'd placed it anywhere else. Have the Wolfpack working for TriCell instead and let them decide the fate or Arc Thompson or Carlos instead. Then there wouldn't even be time travelling weapons! All they'd really need to do is change some dialogue, replace any Raccoon City signs with Beaver Town ones and make the gas price stupidly high.

If they're gonna do a remake, they need to focus on improving what was there. That's why Remake worked - it added things to the original game without removing all the bits that made it RE1. Chris didn't kick the mansion doors open and knife a random Hunter to death. Hell, with the 'modern' cast the first game would never happen. A pack of zombie dogs? Pfft, what threat is that? I have a piece of string three inches long. They are doomed. A remake with run and gun four player co-op action wouldn't be RE2...it would be Resident Evil: Shitty edition. ORC, in other words.

But it can't be shitty, Jon! It would be so cool to have Ada, Leon, Claire, and HUNK all running around the police station together. Just like in the original, right? Take off those rose-tinted goggles, RE2 is archaic and needs an update.

@Darkmoon , why being soo pessimistic ?

Nothing pessimistic about being 100% correct.

The only person suggesting that is you.

What's correct ? Nothing is correct , the only REmake we saw from Capcom is RE1 REmake , we don't know how an RE2 REmake would be in this age until we see with our eyes , understand ?

Hell if they really want to, combine a RE2 and RE3 remake and do what RE6 is doing with split campaigns, it is not going to hurt the series story if Leon and Claire meet up with Jill and Carlos at points for some 4 player co-op action against the T-103 or Nemesis.

Other than him taking the piss out of you (basically the only thing you're good for) that is pretty much what you said.

What are you even talking about? Darkmoon summed it up by saying that any remake other than the style of the BH1 remake would be a load of shit. Like Operation Raccoon City. The BH1 remake worked well because it didn't change a lot and changed just enough. It hit the sweet spot and pleased everyone, and didn't even incorporate new gameplay elements from older games. What has been suggested is basically nothing like that and is more in line with Operation Raccoon City, which takes "bad" to colossal proportions.

I'm sure every game in the series needs to be remade with BH6 gameplay now, though. Who needs consistent storytelling either? One or two minor contradictions are reason enough to completely rewrite the entire storyline. We can always remake every other game in the series to reflect the fact that we decided to change a single date to appease someone's shitty idea. Or we can make Operation Raccoon City 2.

Congrates on proving to everyone yet again you are useless when it comes to reading english, like your translations aren't abominations proving it already. I said nothing about Hunk or Ada running about in co-op with Leon and Claire.

Do you have an empty life that you feel the need to keep taking shots at me, even when you've got fuck all to do with a comment I make? You even do it on other forums, have you got some weird obsession I should be worried about? Honest question, I want to help you fill you life wit better things so you stop coming across as a complete prick to everyone.
