What will the RE2 remake be like? Are they going to turn it into a different game?
It's like a RE4-ified RE2 with the survival horror elements intact.
From what I've seen anyway. Go watch some vids.
Thanks--I didn't know there was footage to see.
I know how I feel about it, and it's not great. I think it could be fun to play RE2 in the RE4 style, but that remains to be seen. Each game was fun for entirely different reasons, so I don't know how well RE2 is going to translate in that regard. The nostalgia of the locations alone though grabbed my interest, allowing me to explore them in a modern way, pretty cool to see.
Watching some footage though, it makes me think that the reason RE2 was so much fun is going to be largely absent in the remake. And third person over the shoulder gameplay isn't particularly new or fantastical anymore anyways. And considering that RE2 wasn't designed to be a fun shooter...
Low expectations for me, may end up owning on a deep, deep sale. Years from now.
Edit: Also the way the flashlight works is disappointing, too. The Last of Us got that right, was hoping to see it work more like that here, too.
