What are your honest thoughts on Resident Evil 2 remake?

>>717941841 (OP)
It's mid.

>>717941841 (OP)
Insulting garbage.
Literally every single fear of any RE-fan come true.

Generic OTS run & gun slop, with shitton of content cuts, every single element butchered for the "modern audiences".

>>717941937
like what?

>>717941841 (OP)
One of the best games of all time. Im glad I could finally experience the story without fighting archaic controls and laughing at the corny old Nintendo graphics.

>>717941841 (OP)
infinite zombies and overused mr x being a mother fucking annoying nuisance sully it for a me a little but i liked it!

>>717942028
What do you mean "like what"?
English doc, do you speak it??

>>717942186
>Im glad I could finally experience the story
But you didn't. You experienced a literal streamlined fanfic with shitton of time paradox mistakes and half-baked characters that serve no role no more.

>>717941841 (OP)
Dogshit but gave us nuClaire so kino

>>717941841 (OP)
Better gameplay than the original by way of the game not turning into a straight line after the RPD
Far worse atmosphere than the original by way of a nonexistent soundtrack
All in all
RE1 1996 = REmake > RE2make = RE2 > RE3 > RE3make

>>717942390
>nuClaire
Absolutely disgusting Goblina.

>>717942490
Whenever people aggressively signal their heterosexuality like this by pretending hot women are ugly I just assume they're cock smoking faggots

>>717942485
>Better gameplay than the original
It's literally Uncharted x Dead Space sort of over-shoulder shooter slop, with literal artificial difficulty in form of the Auto-balancer, with more nerfs and casualization thanks to Ink Ribbons being an optional feature only found on the "Hardcore" mode. You also get more item space, way too OP knife, and all that shitty HUD trash clutters the screen and guides you through the game where there's nothing to EXAMINE no more.

DEmake 2 is just as insulting shit as RE7; maybe even more so, since it's pretending to be one of the best games of all time.

>>717942561
>willingly choosing to believe you are surrounded by cock smoking faggots
Interesting

>>717941841 (OP)
Gooner shit, made for ADHD zoombies.
Worse than OG RE2 and the 2002 REmake1 in every conceivable manner.

>>717941841 (OP)
I still greatly prefer the original RE2, but REmake 2 IS still one of the best horror games in the past 15 years. It's a great Resident Evil game and a very good entry point for people who have never played an RE.

>>717942638
The only "difficult" version of OG RE2 is Nightmare and If I remember correctly its Dreamcast exclusive.

Congratulations on becoming a father Leon!

>>717942731
The fuck are you babbling about?
And are you seriously claiming that the DEmake would be "hard"?

>>717941841 (OP)
Both one of the best remakes and midwit filters of all time.

>>717941841 (OP)
Fun game, no replay value. Worth about $15.

>>717942798
OG RE2 is comically piss easy in every iteration except the Dreamcast exclusive Nightmare difficulty.
´

>>717941841 (OP)
Shit, except for Mr X.

>>717941841 (OP)
I like the big Claire

>>717942351
>You experienced a literal streamlined
Weird considering original RE2 is by far the easiest and most casualized entry in the series. Remake 2 actually turns it into something with some challenge lol.

>>717942485
HOLY BASED

I got the PS5 physical for $20 at Walmart a couple months ago and haven't gotten around to it yet.

>>717943131
The only time I have ever died in OG RE2, is playing Nightmare difficulty. Compare that so say the hunters in OG RE, most people have been punished pretty badly if they fucked around with them.

>>717941841 (OP)
Mediocre. But its short and Claire is a cutie so I've replayed it more times than it deserves

>>717942561
You find a dinosaur attractive?

It's fun. Zombies are terrifying.

Its great and it was my goty that year but the original is better.

And as bad as that it, it is still lightyears beyond the "hold the lock on button and mash the fire button until the enemy dies" of the original game.

>>717943785
Sovl

>>717941841 (OP)
Not what I wanted, terrible remake

At least the Remake actually has a few puzzles beyond pushing boxes.

Best Resident Evil since REmake. Not that great of a remake in and of itself, but it's the first over the shoulder RE that actually fucking feels like RE.

>>717942638
Why is it always people with 3+ mental disorders that spam DEMAKE comments in every thread they can find?

>>717943785
No idea why they casualised RE2 so goddamn much.

>>717943972
Easy bait that drives threads to autosage.

>>717942283
>every single element butchered for the "modern audiences".

>>717943972
Because this incessant idea that we should replace the old games is kinda ass backwards. The original games had enough notoriety even to this day, meaning that the original games were considered so good that they'd want to remake them to ride the wave of that notoriety.

The remakes exist BECAUSE the originals were considered good. There's a reason you don't see them remaking shitty shovelware games. But they turn around and thanklessly throw shade on the originals.

>>717941841 (OP)
Sherry.

>>717941841 (OP)
I don't play shitty remakes

>>717944916
I consider them separate entities. Remake can be good, bad, distasteful, not understanding, whatever, but it's separate. Original is there. If kids like remake, maybe they'll try the original. If not, what the fuck do you care?

>>717943972
>>717944916
Also, to add to that, while the graphics look amazing, they seriously dropped the ball on the zapping system and just shouldve done away with that structure and had a simple Leon scenario and Claire scenario without the A or B versions.

And the soundtrack was lacking.

>>717945243
>>And the soundtrack was lacking.

Where were you, when you needed to pay for kino?

>>717945729
I like the original RE2 but Capcom can eat shit for doing that. the fact they don't even include the original game with RE2make is gay as fuck .

>>717941841 (OP)
i thought it was great when i first played through it. went in without looking at a single frame of gameplay and it definitely paid off. however i don't know when or if i'll ever play it again since i would rather play the original every single time.

It's a game with a good sprite but the lack of the zapping system as well as it's complete disinterest in making a true A and B scenario are stains on the game that's impossible to ignore

>>717941841 (OP)
reminder that sweet baby DEI bullshit ruined the game by removing the planned spider enemies because the consultants said that spiders trigger modern audience's arachnophobia

>>717941841 (OP)

I think it does a few things pretty well and it's one of the few remakes I don't despise but I prefer the original still.

>>717941841 (OP)
if you play it without have playing the original or it being years since you played original, it will seem cool af. if you play the original then play it, it will be obvious how much it sucks ass

>>717941841 (OP)
It was great but could have been better if the two stories overlapped like in the original

>>717941841 (OP)
i liked it, but i wish it was more like the original

>>717949676
We lost the moths too

>>717941841 (OP)
I had fun. It didn't have the soul of the original though.

I like playing the game with (fixed) HDR. It is fun.

>>717952562
I really wish we'd get some new Sherry mods.

>>717943431
Kamiya thought horror was stupid and tried to make an action game like the autist he is. I love OG RE2 but that game is piss easy

>>717942485
I’ve only played RE2R with the OG soundtrack.
Maybe that’s why I like it so much lol

>>717941841 (OP)
It's aight
had my fun with it

>>717941841 (OP)
Bought it after seeing a modded cutscene with a Claire upskirt. I liked it.

>>717952562
>no ballerina Sherry
But that's the best one.

>>717941841 (OP)
One of the best games but zombies are too much of a bullet sponge, there should have been a sweet spot for popping heads

>>717941841 (OP)
9.5/10

its a good horror game but mr x quickly becomes annoying rather than scary.
i think the atmosphere in the original that was created by the music and framing of the camera was much stronger, stuff like pic related is more memorable than most of the remake.
its 7/10.

I thought it was good up until you exit the police station, then it drops off a cliff in quality. It's like they spent most of their dev time on RPD, then rushed the rest of the game.

But the auto-balance difficulty is fucking retarded. Why does it exist and why can't I shut it off? Fuck you, let me attempt to conserve as many resources as possible by being accurate with my shots. Why is that punished? It's so stupid. I also hate that you almost cannot dodge zombies, you have to shoot them at least once to stun them.

Also very bizarre anachronisms that make me think the game was originally going to reboot it in "modern" times around 2008 or so. USB drive badge in 1998? What the hell? Laptops getting live camera feed over wifi? A 2018 IBM desktop with no floppy drive in the police office? Cars from the mid-2000's? Very weird.

>>717954296
I would've rather had all the remakes be re-imaginings than remakes/replacements for the originals.

>>717941841 (OP)
As someone who never played the original RE2 I thought it was fantastic

>>717941841 (OP)
Really good game. One of the best in the franchise and overall better than the original (which I played first).
It's a damn shame that Capcom hasn't made another game like it. Mainline is still first person and the remakes went full action. RE9 will probably be good but it will likely be like RE7 but bigger.
I would LOVE a mainline game with RE2make's design but more experimental and with a bigger budget.

>>717954296
>I thought it was good up until you exit the police station, then it drops off a cliff in quality.
To be fair that describes almost every RE game, including the original RE2.
I would go so far as to say that RE2make's sewers are still pretty good even if it's a sewer level and there's some arduous mechanics. The map is complex and I really like the chess pieces gimmick. Definitely a huge upgrade over the original's sewers. Also liked how it connected back to the police station. Lab could have been more complex but conceptually it's cool.

>>717941841 (OP)
It will always be special because it gave us Chrisposting

Its shit.

my first resident evil game and i loved it
tried starting Clair playthrough and stopped, i need to finish it

I haven't really played it but the mods are fantastic

>>717941841 (OP)
Pretty good, but they should have reduced the amount of ammo in the game by half, doubled the amount of damage they do globally, and made leon and claire's aim get worse as the game goes on to simulate their fatigue and injuries. Leon should load and pump the shotgun at half speed after he gets shot.

>>717941841 (OP)
I enjoyed it. And no I never played the original and I don't care to.

>>717942710
RE4 is classic RE

>>717941841 (OP)

It is better when you play it with the original soundtrack.

>>717941841 (OP)
I’m an old enough to have played the original when it released. It was actually my first PS1 game. Played through and beat it dozens of times. Got the remake because I had been interested in the trailers and also footage of the gore mechanics they added. The truth is that it’s not a bad game, but they skimped out on stuff that I thought was pretty essential. For starters, making the B scenarios essentially the same with nothing new added. Secondly, they cut a lot of the areas in the original game like the marshaling yard, the secret room in the lab, etc. Speaking of the lab, I fucking HATED the remake’s take on the lab. It wasn’t scary at all and I just felt like I was running through an office building in Left 4 Dead. Very generic and soulless. The plant zombies were a disappointment too and I cannot fathom why they weren’t able to make an updated version of the original plant monsters. All that being said, they at least got the police station right, they managed to make the sewers slightly more interesting (but still a slog). Having Mr. X chase you around was way more interesting than just having him have scripted appearances (which they would later do in RE3 remake, kek). Oh and Claire is still as fuckable as she was in the OG.

>>717943538

Yep, yep, yep!

>>717941841 (OP)
the core of the game is to run away
children should not be taught to be afraid, and run away from enemies, they should be taught to purify the environment of all enemies with extreme force

>>717941841 (OP)
Great game, really wish they had made a real DLC that added in some manner of NG+ or NG mode with a few added areas alongside some of the older enemies that got clipped, perhaps even remixing some of the original placements of enemies to make it feel like a newer experience.

Never been a fan of the meme "time trial" type of antics they did but it really is one of those perfect games where it takes you like 12 hours careful first clear than you drop it to like 4 or less.

>>717961097
>Oh and Claire is still as fuckable as she was in the OG.
OG Claire BTFO Nu-Claire just with the turtleneck t-shirt alone. Also the RE engine fucks up and give nu-claire eyes that are too wide and too many teeth in her mouth in some cutscenes. Alyson Court will always be my Claire

My honest thoughts are I love Jill and 3make is too short which means not enough time with Jill. I'm still mad they wasted all that time on that crappy DBD knockoff that nobody really asked for at the expense of 3R.

I like it when the trenchcoat man chases me. He's like if the Tomb Raider butler was an intentional enemy.

>>717964987
The Original RE3 was one of my favorite RE games. You have no idea how fucking shit RE3make is. Holy fuck I was seething from the start.

>>717941841 (OP)
I only bought it and RE3R for the chubby kinkster mods and the sherry b-cup heart bikini with tanlines

I never played the original RE2 and I thought the remake was a lot of fun. A bit short though

>>717941841 (OP)
I liked it as much as the original, they do not overwrite or cancel out. They coexist in harmony not making the other better or worse, just different gameplay experiences that are both great for different reasons.

That said, REmake 3 and 4 are undoubtedly shit but I blame Reddit and Social media. Crapcom simply smell the blood in the water and rushed both of them. ReMake 3 needs to be redone and Remake 4 is just worse than the original, which already had a HD version for starters.

>>717965701
I didn't believe everyone going on about how shit RE3R is after playing RE2R but damn they were right. Got it for like $5 and still felt ripped off.

>>717965701
3make doesn't even need redone, what's there is good and I like playing it and RE2R every Halloween, it just needs a Director's Cut with all the stuff they left out because they were wasting development resources on Resistance at the time

>>717965264
That's why people just do stuff like randomizers for replayability

>>717964956
You overbite lover!!

>>717942351
Relax old timer you can always go back and play the original

>>717966080
You got the wrong anon, anon.

RE2R was....alright. It was cool to see the police station in 3D glory. My issue was it was buried in darkness. The atmosphere of the original was destroyed. Per-rendered backgrounds meant having to have a static well-lit area for the player which was technically a "limitation", but it was also why the game felt so dreadful and spooky. I don't want dark and scary, I want a depressing, hopeless feeling.

So many remake rooms were just pitch black and required a flashlight. All the art buried in darkness. Or the swapping of color correction in areas was annoying. I just wanted the original lighting. There's something about a dimly-lit, but perfectly visible environment that isn't safe that really does it for me. That's why I love Dino Crisis 1 and 2 so much. They aren't dark, yet you feel the hopeless everywhere.

>>717966084
I hate this excuse. Why are old fans relegated to keep playing the old game and not have the new game to enjoy. If I had gotten a 1:1 remake with updated graphics and minor expansions to the game it would've been 10/10 for both old fans and new ones. When they start remaking your original games that end up being inferior you won't like being told the same thing

>>717944072
RE1 was a hit but Capcom saw yen signs and wanted to appeal to the widest audience possible. Kamiya had an interview in one of the old DMC guides where he says management wanted to sell at least 2 million copies in Japan for RE2.

>>717966080
>>717966205
I don't get the appeal she's uglier than the 32-bit Claire and the Claire from Revelaitons 2. How do you do that?

>>717966123
Sorry anon.

>>717961097
Look here. >>717966080

>>717966427
>My issue was it was buried in darkness. The atmosphere of the original was destroyed.
Everyone was soifacing over the re-release of the RE1 remake when this one went into development, so they just copied the same kind of aesthetic.

>>717966568

Which is why I dislike RE1 remake. I'm in the minority, but I didn't like it. It was spooky Halloween house instead of a depressing mansion hiding secrets. I understand why they did it, and it looks visually good, but I prefer the alternate atmosphere. I prefer atmosphere that feels uneasy. Being in a lit room and yet feeling hopeless and somewhat depressed. Almost as if the world you are in is dying. RE1/2/3 all did this with the Mansion/Police Department/Raccoon city respectfully.

Shame it's gone.

>>717966568
The GameCube version of RE1 is shit and washed out all the colors the Spencer Mansion had in the original, literal definition of soulless

>>717966763

To add pic related (DC2 upscaled)


CAPCOM was great at making even the middle of the day seem so hopeless. Dino Crisis 2, while I hated the change from DC1, I still enjoyed the atmosphere a lot. Pre-renders in the 90s really hit you. Love Parasite Eve 1/2 as well.

the novel take I've settled on is that re2make has flashes of brilliance but the design of the campaign and to an extent the particulars of execution mostly stifle it. the dynamic zombie crowd control pathing game doesn't really have much room to shine with the low hanging fruit one way chokepoints the game presents you with and the obligatory scripted horror set pieces.

Part of god tier series that did no wrong except black cock in mouth moment in RE3.

Only Mario and Zelda are Zelda because... uh anybody who thought stuffing a black cock down the throats of Peach or Zelda was let go. Capcom said, push it and see how the market responds. Not the brightest move at the company.

The sherry stuff was kinda meh, basically just screams, moans, and not being able to fight back is always boring in games
The sewer was annoying as hell.
The SFX in this game are pretty awesome

It'll never not be fucking stupid to me that these games actively discourage headshots by making zombies and fat spaniards somehow take 30 bullets to the head

Imagine Ubisoft doing something like this to black samurai in Assassin's Creed Japan. Not even China could take a hit like that. Only a mega series could survive such stupidity.

>>717967618
but the retard stupid moments and story is why RE is endearing

Amazing game and basically the golf standard for remakes along with Dead Space.

>>717941841 (OP)
Claire a cute!

>>717941841 (OP)
It was actually my favorite RE remake desu. I don't know why people hype up 4 so much, 2 had much better aesthetics.

it's ok. not as memorable as the original.

>>717941841 (OP)
Fun game, failure of a remake.

>>717943785
