Resident Evil 2 scores a 9/10

Umm. If you really do have to pre-order a 5 hours game.

I was a PS1 lover, and I don't recall any Xbox gamers hating on RE cause not on Xbox? The only case that would have even happened was RE4.

But yea, thanks for the link.

Usually use gamingdragons

@uninspiredcup: Thought it could be cheaper elsewhere, I didn't search too hard :)

Thanks for the link, are they reliable? GK4A usually gets the game to you in a couple of minutes, GMG are way faster but the prices aren't as good and Kinguin tend to have hidden charges because they use third parties to provide the keys.

@GarGx1: Yep, used them for years.

Just pre-ordered the Deluxe version on CDKeys for $69CAD. GMG was right around the $70CAD mark as well, but they charge in USD. Kinda excited to see the difference between the remake soundtrack and the original.

Edit: Actually, with the market rate being 1.335, then low estimate would be about $75 on GMG, and that's at base cash rates and not what a CC would charge (probably closer to 1.4 instead of 1.36.)

‘Classic 98’ Costumes Announced as DLC For ‘Resident Evil 2’

If you fancy playing the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake as the old-school character models of Leon and Claire then do we have some news for you.

At the launch party for the game, it was announced that ‘Classic 98’ costumes will be available as DLC for the game, making the heroes of the Raccoon City incident into their blocky 90’s selves once more.

The DLC will be available in Japan at launch with a special PSN card on PS4 being one of several ways to claim it, but will be free for everyone from March 22nd. There’s currently no confirmation as to what other platforms will get the DLC.

Here’s a brief clip of the Leon retro skin in action.

This game seems to be doing a competent remake, and fan-service correctly.

Da fuk are you talking about gameplay taking a back seat to cinematics?

This game is no different than any Sony title in how it uses the execution of cinematics and narration to drive gameplay.

Don't make dumb ass arguments you aren't even capable of defending.

Are you suggesting that gameplay takes a back seat in God of War, Spiderman and Horizon Zero Dawn because these are some of the titles people call movie games? If so can you explain how is Resident Evil 2 remake not doing the same as these games without looking like an idiot?

Explain In detail, so we can all see how good your mental gymnastics are.

But you usually do that then shout "simply google it, it's common knowledge"

@MonsieurX: I wasn't taking to you and don't need an explanation of what it is since dumb people are the one's who use the term and can't defend it when they try to pretend like it doesn't apply to games that aren't from Sony.

If you want to butt in why don't you explain how RE2 is different than those games people call "movie games" other than not being associated with Sony?

Wow! I may have to pick this one up. Gonna try out the demo.

It's common knowledge, simply google it

Haha.

91 Metascore too. Holy shit, please give me this game already

@MonsieurX: Nicely done. ??

@henrythefifth: Stop being a dipshit troll.

It's even funnier because

@MonsieurX: Oh my. ???

Okay, I'm really loving Steam's Regional Pricing. Got the Deluxe Edition of the game for 1800 PHP or around 35 USD. Sweeeeeeeet.

How has it "never been good"? RE7 was GOTY level. Scariest RE in decades

ugh, I cannot wait. I see there are some videos of hunk but I'm didn't watch them. Not gonna watch any videos until I beat the game.

So, basically, you can make up dumb shit and if anybody calls you out, they're "triggered." You're an idiot.

We don't need to defend the term. Sony already admitted movie games are a real thing.

@cainetao11: TBF, GOTY for RE7 is a bit of a stretch, but yeah, best Resident Evil so far this gen. RE2 Remake will probably be better, or at least as good as 7.

Dam, that was pretty sexist. Not even that old an ad.

So IGN had to heavily revise their review and change the score after they learned their reviewer didn't actually finish the game... WTF?!?!?!?!

At least they aren't stealing it this time.

Gamespot done something similar with it's recent Crash Bandicoot review, finished half of each game, put up review.

Yep, cutscenes were always few in number in the RE games, and the demo was exactly the same way. I think he's just pissed because everyone shits on his cinematic "hold the forward button" games.

Classify RE6 as a movie game. Which is partly why everyone hated it.

This is why I don't really trust too much reviews. Most "trusted" review sites rush the reviews after the embargo just so they could get all those precious clicks and ad rev.

I'm glad that it turned out good. I have to give credit to Capcom for doing a great job. However I will not get this game right now. I will wait when it's on sale and play it around Halloween.

Can't wait to play it. Hate that it has to come just days before school starts for me. :(

I thought it deserved to be nominated. RE hasn't been scary since the original 2 imo. After 4 it devolved into an action, TPS. I loved the fact 7 made it scary again and definitely see the value of the first person perspective for horror.

I don't trust other people's opinions of entertainment, period. Unless they're buying it for me, I don't care what they like or dislike. Im old enough to know what I like and buy what I wish to play. On the rare occurrence I get a lemon but that's just life, kids.

Good deal. Never actually finished the first one so no better time than to pop my RE2 cherry.

This isn't a fucking movie game

This is a hardcore game with great atmosphere

You got little ammo you got zombies who could take a crapton of bullets this is not a movie folks

@uninspiredcup: Politics, politics... This is getting too complicated. Can we please forget about politics for now and start shooting off some zombie heads instead?

Weird, you literally just described TLOU, so people were lying when they said that was a movie game too then?

@boxrekt: Most games people call movie games aren't, most people are also complete morons.

Is this game really only 8 hours??

Yeah, even less if it like the original which was only about 4. but quality over quantity and all that. Plus you can play it twice if you want.

Depends if you play with the difficulty settings on pussy mode....

It's about time superb Resident Evil games are here again.

People like Resident Evil for the survival horror, creepy atmosphere and the puzzle scenes.

I can't believe Capcom strayed so far from this. It's pretty obvious what Resident Evil should be. It should be a pure survival horror game. This means limited ammo, limited health, limited amount of items to carry, etc. Just pure survival horror, just like the first 3 games. 5 and 6 were definitely a couple of the worst.

0, 1, 2, 3, Revelations, Code Veronica, etc, are pure survival horror.

What about 4?

The Last of Us Remastered is 15hrs

Uncharted 4 is 18 hrs

Spiderman is 20hrs

God of War is 35hrs

Horizon Zero Dawn is 40 hrs

Isn't one of the arguments that's also used to describe "movie games" is that it's supposed to be "short"?

Gosh Yes, yes it is!

It's hilarious to see fanboys flip flop and suddenly defend a linear, 3rd person, narrative driven, cinematic game that is only 8 hrs long having less play time than any titles they rabidly call "movie games" when it it's a Sony exclusive.

let me see all the fanboys fall over themselves trying to spin this because they need it to be ok to love a "movie game" now since they can actually play it on their preferred systems.

@boxrekt: I don’t really care about any of that. All this movie game stuff is nonsense. I just enjoy games for what they are and this looks great.

Im going into this having not played it since the n64 so it will take me more than 8 hours. I stayed away from the demo so it will all be fairly new to me. I would have guessed it would review well across the board from what I've seen it looks a very good remake with added story content.

It does look great.

I'm just poking fun at hypocritical fanboys. There is nothing to be upset about if the argument doesn't apply to you.

This is a, "If the shoe fits" type of post.

For everyone else showing excitement for this title, it's understandable because they aren't the ones flip flopping on their stance about HATING these type of games.

4 was pretty terrible.

this however from what i played from demo is 10 times better. or million times better.

this has to be best third person RE game.
