Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil 2 is not only a stellar remake of the original, but it's also simply a strong horror game that delivers anxiety-inducing and grotesque situations, topping some of the series' finest entries. But above all, the remake is an impressive game for the fact that it goes all-in on the pure survival horror experience, confidently embracing its horrifying tone and rarely letting up until the story's conclusion.

What Capcom has created here with Resident Evil 2 is somewhat unprecedented. While remakes aren’t a new thing in video games, the way in which Capcom has been able to change so many facets of Resident Evil 2 while keeping the core of the game intact is one of the most impressive accomplishments I’ve seen in quite some time. Better yet, they found a way to improve on a beloved classic, which is no short order.

Resident Evil 2 is definitely worth the price of admission, especially for horror fans or fans of the Resident Evil franchise. The game pays homage to the original release while successfully updating the experience for modern audiences. It’s not perfect, but it’s close, and here’s hoping it inspires Capcom to remake other Resident Evil games in a similar style.

Resident Evil 2 is, quite simply, one of the best remakes of all-time. Capcom have nailed their new vision of a classic just like they did back in 2002 by modernising a decades old game to feel like something completely fresh. Whether you want to take a trip down memory lane or are just experiencing the disconcerting decadence of the police station for the first time, Resident Evil 2 is the first essential purchase of 2019.

This remake is, without a doubt, the best way to experience Resident Evil 2. Not only is it graphically and mechanically superior to the original, but it contains new content and better characterization. This is especially valuable, as the original hasn’t aged well and its control scheme is more of a novelty that’s worth checking out. I’ll also make this claim: it is no longer a given that the often exalted Resident Evil 4 is the best Resident Evil to date.

While there are certainly some cut corners here or there, the atmosphere and tone hide them well, along with some excellent facial animation that helps sell the (obligatory) corny dialogue. Resident Evil 2 also makes some seriously spooky use of binaural audio techniques that reminded me of playing Corpse Party in bed with headphones in so many years ago, which means high marks in my book.

Resident Evil 2 is an absolutely phenomenal remake, one which is bolstered by the developer's renewed sense of confidence and a newfound sense of direction. Capcom has fully come to grips with what the series should look like in this day and age, and the end result is pure survival horror, retooled and retweaked for a modern audience. The Godfather of survival horror is back.

Resident Evil 2 is a remake that went above and beyond the call of duty. Capcom gave clamoring fans exactly what they wanted. Each part of the experience whether it is the story, gameplay, visuals, or audio have all come together making Resident Evil 2 a fabulous complete package. While minor annoyances do exist, Resident Evil 2 (2019 edition) is about as flawless as one could hope for.

The sense of fear and terror when playing Resident Evil 2 never leaves you and it’s unlike anything else I’ve encountered in a Resident Evil game previously. I’m just going to go ahead and call it: Resident Evil 2 is the best Resident Evil game in the franchise and represents a series and developer at its peak. Don’t be distracted by the pretty graphics and gore, Resident Evil 2 is straight-up dangerous.

Overall, I have to say that this remake is everything I’ve hoped for and more. Capcom has really gone a long way to please the fans of the series, and they have certainly succeeded in that. I heartily recommend this game, not just to fans of the series, but to all gamers who love the horror genre, as this is a game all the fans were crying out for. This is the game that gave me those same thrills I experienced 20 years ago, and I am glad that I had the chance to experience it again.

A continuation of Bandai Namco’s long-running flight simulation series, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown offers fans an invigorating, polished and beautifully-rendered action game that sometimes becomes obscured by a silly story, vague objectives and a steep learning curve. Those familiar with the series will likely be able to see past the muck and enjoy the fast-paced action for what it is, as excellent controls and gorgeous graphics certainly help.

This is a remake, a returning to the series’ roots and, presumably, a commitment to a new path forward. Resident Evil 2 soars as a definitive statement of intent after a decade of re-centering. Beholden to the past as this game is, it’s a promising new beginning. Now that Resident Evil has found itself, it will be exciting to see what kind of gross hot-dog dinosaur it mutates into next.

Finally, Capcom has put a lot of game into Resident Evil 2. It has four remixed campaigns — two each for the playable characters Leon and Claire. But Capcom has also revealed plans to add even more. That includes a mode that randomizes where items are as well as new player characters.

Modern additions to the classic Resident Evil formula have made Resident Evil 2 an excellent remake although I am a little disappointed with how the 2nd Run campaigns are handled.

Resident Evil 2’s remake highlights just how great Capcom’s first sequel in the Resident Evil series ways, but does it in a way that makes it the most compelling entry in the series thus far. It’s smart changes merge with the classic design expertly, while its atmosphere is rich thanks to gorgeous lighting and incredible sound design. It’s a reminder of the past, but this remake would be a fine direction for the future of Resident Evil.

This incarnation of Resident Evil is nearly like playing a wholly different game, and in fact stands on its own as an excellent analogue to one of the greatest survival horror games of all time. Whether you're a Resident Evil fan or you're looking to delve into the terrifying world of horror gaming, you owe it to yourself to make this iteration of Resident Evil a day one purchase.

Capcom did a fantastic job of resurrecting all the best parts of the classic Resident Evil 2 and making them look, sound, and play like a 2019 game. If you’re of the mind that the series had lost its way for a while there, this game is very much a return to form. The zombie combat is satisfying and exploring the dilapidated ruins of Raccoon City is a thrill.

I can’t speak highly enough of this game despite really not being one for horror. It felt fair. It felt accessible (there is an Easy mode for people who want to feel less helpless). The original game has always been touted as a classic and I see why. This game was fantastic and despite it only being January I can definitely see this as a game of the year contender. Spectacular work and a must have.

While a slew of familiar callbacks to the setup of the original version are evident, a slew of smart adjustments have also been put into place. These changes do a great job of providing fans with new ways to approach Leon and Claire’s unnerving expeditions. Resident Evil 2 has been reborn and retooled in all the best ways possible. This is the best video game remake that other modernized classics of its ilk should be judged by.

The Resident Evil 2 remake has brought the series back to where it needs to be. This game captures the spirit of the original trilogy perfectly while also bringing to bear all the good things that came out of the later entries in the series. As a fan of the original RE2, I was blown away by how much love was poured into this remake, and I hope it’s a sign of things to come for the future of Resident Evil.

Capcom has not only recreated Resident Evil 2, but entirely redesigned it to be a bigger and more robust horror experience. The sense of dread and tension they created is unwavering throughout each of the six-hour campaigns. The choices they made only help expand upon the characters and the overall universe, along with making the gameplay a little easier for more people to survive this unforgiving world.

Resident Evil 2 might be one of the most accomplished remakes of the generation. A number of mechanics have been updated and introduced in order to bring the game into the modern era, but this is still very much the classic experience you remember – inventory management, limited ammunition, and all. Capcom has lovingly recreated every historic location and moment you remember from 1998, and you owe it to yourself to witness that spectacle first-hand.

Resident Evil 2 is not only an accomplished remake that should serve as the blueprint for how to re-imagine beloved classics, but is an incredible game in its own right- so much so, that it might even stand as one of the very best games this venerated and decorated franchise has delivered to date.

Over the years, Capcom has experimented with several different approaches to Resident Evil, but this is one approach I hope gets revisited. Resident Evil 2 not only looks great, it plays well, and it forces you into a series of dark encounters that are a total rush. Resident Evil is finally running on all cylinders.

My complaints about the Resident Evil 2 remaster are minimal. An argument could be made that Capcom could have done more, but the spirit of the original has been preserved and in many cases, enhanced. I hope every legacy game in the series gets this loving treatment, as I'll probably be playing them for the rest of my life.

Classic Resident Evil has always been a bit like that though, making these encounters more about taking a couple of goes to get the ‘trick’ you need to win rather than pulling off a slick set of moves. There’s also one encounter involving a swinging shipping container that’s a disaster. It takes place in a tiny area barely bigger than the monster you’re fighting and really highlights the limits of the controls.

Resident Evil 2 is ultimately an incredibly effective remake of a beloved classic. It sets a soaring new standard for remaking classic games with its deeply impressive aesthetics, responsive gameplay, and incredibly effective horror. Regardless of whether you love the original, Capcom’s remake is something that anyone with an appreciation for horror should experience.

If Resident Evil 7 was the game that put the legs back under Capcom’s iconic zombie franchise, Resident Evil 2 is the game that sees it clear the way back atop its bloodied throne. From the beautiful visuals to the nail-biting scares and frantic combat, this is a horror-experience that not only scares the life out of you, it makes you think as well. It could do with some creative boss battles and a touch more content, but this is Capcom’s most impressive showing in years.

Resident Evil 2 is a polished, respectful remake of a survival horror classic that probably would have benefitted from a slightly more daring approach. Hints of a braver revamp are sprinkled throughout, but it doesn’t take the risks necessary to join the canon of truly great video game remakes. Make no mistake though, if you loved the original Resident Evil 2, you’ll likely love the remake, and new players who can tolerate a few old-school quirks ought to have a gruesome good time as well.

Resident Evil 2 is an incredibly polished remake of one of video game’s most celebrated titles. More importantly, it stands on its own two feet; newcomers will feel right at home stepping into the zombie apocalypse, and there’s absolutely no need to worry about getting bogged down by 20+ years of lore and preconceived notions. It’s a massive treat for those of us who were there at the start, yes, but when all’s said and done, Resi 2 is just a fantastic game in its own right.

Nairi: Tower of Shirin apresenta-se como uma proposta interessante dentro do seu género, que apesar de ter aspecto de ser direcionada a um público mais jovem, apresenta conteúdos interessantes para qualquer faixa etária, graças a um enredo interessante e bem estruturado.

Resident Evil 2 is a wonderful recreation of a believed original that, not only recaptures the glory of that game, but also improves upon it from a visual and gameplay standpoint. All in all, don’t miss out on this one.

Capcom have created something that is very much its own beast, whilst remaining stringently faithful to the original title. They say that lightning doesn’t strike twice, but Capcom have managed it with Resident Evil 2 bettering both the original title, and the phenomenal Resident Evil REmake with one clawed swipe. Survival horror is back, and it has never been more terrifying.

The game adds a lot of new features and elements, and of course the amazing new graphics, but it still seems amazing that such an old design – modernised as it may be – can feel so fresh and exciting today. Whether you’ve played the original 100 times or this is your first ever taste of the franchise it’s a hugely entertaining standalone experience, that everyone can enjoy.

Newcomers among players will likely discover a new favourite horror franchise to explore, while long-time followers of the series will find a sweet blend of familiarity and freshness. Whichever camp you fall into, you’ll find your mind and your mettle tested in equal measure as you fiddle your way through this gloriously gory (and occasionally gruelling) reanimation of a classic.

As both a survival-horror experience and as a remake, Resident Evil 2 is outstanding. Modern graphics and controls combine with thrilling survival mechanics, personalized gameplay, and high replay value to create one of the best titles of the young 2019. The lack of meaningful connections between first and second run scenarios and Capcom's puzzling experiment with side character segments prevent it from eclipsing its predecessor, but it remains an essential piece of the Resident Evil canon.

It's satisfying to control and the story is amazing, and the whole thing is wrapped up with great sound and excellent visuals. It's a timeless classic which has been brilliantly resurrected from the dead and brought back for a whole new generation of gamers, and it's a must play for anyone who loves survival horror regardless of whether they're familiar with the original or not.

Resident Evil 2 excels at putting the player in close quarters with things that will upset and unsettle them. It’s fantastic in its every tense moment with zombies creeping ever-closer, your ammo draining with each missed shot. It does so while curbing some of the things that made it more frightening, but not so much that it lost that necessary fear in each encounter. The tension it creates is undeniable and unforgettable, and further shows Capcom has a firm grasp on what frightens us.

Capcom has achieved the near-impossible with the remake of Resident Evil 2. A remarkable labour of design, iteration, faithfulness, and adaptation; a masterclass in knowing what to change, how to change it, and what to build upon, Resident Evil 2 in 2018 emerges from the shadow of its namesake with consummate ease.

Resident Evil 2 va mucho más allá de ser una puesta al día de un clásico. Su tarea a la hora reinterpretar al original, redefinirlo y removerlo para sorprender a nuevos y veteranos es encomiable. El equilibrio entre exploración, acción y rompecabezas es, además, casi perfecto, como lo es la manera de presentar y rememorar casi todos los momentos míticos del título.

Capcom tenía la difícil tarea de modernizar un título de 1998 y adaptarlo a los nuevos tiempos, sin perder su esencia, y desde luego lo ha conseguido. Gráficamente es un lanzamiento fantástico y una revisión increíble, pero jugablemente encontramos sus mejores virtudes en un ritmo trepidante, una acción adictiva y una estupenda selección de puzles. Óptimo para despertar la nostalgia de los veteranos, y extraordinario para los recién llegados. ¿Podíamos pedir más?

Este nuevo Resident Evil 2 no solo es una verdadera carta de amor para los que disfrutaron de la versión original, sino todo un homenaje a esta histórica franquicia con más de 20 años de legado. Resident Evil 2 es el camino que siempre debió haber tomado la saga, es el perfecto balance entre el estilo clásico de los survival horror, y formas de diseño más modernas.

Capcom nos ha dado toda una lección de cómo se debe hacer un remake. Fiel al original en el desarrollo tipo "survival horror", con una recreación perfecta de personajes y localizaciones, y un sistema de control actualizado, más accesible. Uno de los mejores juegos de terror de todos los tiempos "resucitado".

Capcom ha hecho un grandísimo trabajo recuperando este clásico. Es una obra tremendamente fiel a la original, hasta tal punto que sus únicos problemas son heredados de ésta. Creemos que se podría haber potenciado un poco más la variedad entre personajes; aunque fueran pequeños detalles como cambiar los puzles, bastante sencillos de por sí, y que pierden todo el interés en la segunda vuelta.

Für Resident Evil 2 war ich zu seiner Zeit zu jung. Dank Capcom kann ich mit dem Remake einen der größten Klassiker der Videospiel-Geschichte nachholen – ohne mich mit schlecht gealterten Mechaniken und Grafiken herumschlagen müssen, die nun mal einfach nicht mehr zeitgemäß sind. Das Remake von Resident Evil 2 ist nicht nur gelungen, es übertrifft jegliche Erwartungen.

Man kann nur hoffen, dass es auch andere Entwickler dazu anspornt, ihre vergessenen und unvergessenen Perlen mit einem ähnlichen Aufwand zu restaurieren, wie es Capcom hier vorgemacht hat. Zeit und Geld wären dort jedenfalls besser investiert als in neuen Produktionen, in denen man sich vornehmlich mit Konzepten für die Einbindung von Lootboxen oder Miktrotransaktionen beschäftigt.

Ce petit reproche mis de côté, Resident Evil 2 procure une expérience à la fois moderne et digne, en termes de sensations, des premiers Resident Evil. Et pour les nouveaux venus, ce remake devrait être particulièrement percutant. Resident Evil 2 fait passer un terrifiant mais néanmoins excellent moment et laisse avec l'envie de remettre ça très vite. Pour le remake de Resident Evil 3, c'est quand tu veux Capcom.

S'inscrivant dans la continuité d'un Resident Evil VII sombre et stressant, Resident Evil 2 parvient à nous replonger dans Raccoon City à travers sa vision plus que jamais orientée survival. Jouant avec nos nerfs du début à la fin, ré-imaginant certaines séquences cultes pour les rendre plus actuelles et impressionnantes, le titre de Capcom s'amuse 20 heures durant à jouer avec nos souvenirs et nos peurs pour mieux nous retourner à travers une aventure plus éprouvante que par le passé.

Il est aussi le chaînon manquant entre la peur primale des débuts et la tension nerveuse des derniers volets, grâce au travail remarquable accompli sur l'ambiance et une utilisation judicieuse du RE Engine pour les éclairages comme la fluidité des mouvements. Jamais le commissariat de Raccoon City et les mystères qu'il abrite n'ont paru aussi mémorables et tordus, preuve que la chair est encore assez goûteuse quand on y ajoute une traînée de harissa.

On s'y attendait, mais Resident Evil 2 est bel et bien la grande claque de ce début d'année. Non content d'être un magnifique hommage à la version originale, il s'agit d'un jeu moderne et puissant, jouant parfaitement avec les codes de l'ancienne et l'actuelle génération pour une terreur globale fascinante. Le survival-horror n'est pas mort et Capcom montre, une nouvelle fois, qu'il sait formidablement bien manier l'un des styles qui a fait sa réputation, vingt ans plus tôt.

Para resumi-lo aos fãs, pensem em Resident Evil 2 com visuais modernos e o melhor grotesco da série, com os sistemas e ritmo do 4, misturados com os elementos que lhe devolveram o Survival Horror, em Resident Evil 7. Se é obrigatório para eles? Absolutamente.

Protagonisti di campagne alternative tutte da giocare, Leon e Claire non si muovono come dei carri armati, certo, ma la loro libertà d'azione viene limitata da espedienti che rendono tutt'altro che banale mettere a segno dei colpi alla testa, oppure divincolarsi quando un nemico si trova nelle vicinanze. Merito anche delle ottime animazioni e di un comparto tecnico che mette a frutto l'esperienza fatta con Resident Evil 7 biohazard, migliorando ulteriormente e consegnandoci un prodotto in grado di mettere tutti d'accordo.

Resident Evil 2 rappresenta un clamoroso ritorno, il modo migliore per riportare in auge la serie e imprimere una nuova direzione che collima con quella del passato e ne rappresenta il suo ideale proseguimento. Non ci sono grandi appunti da fare alla scelta di Capcom e a come ha diretto questo remake. La software di Osaka è ritornata, finalmente, a essere quella di un tempo.

Когда глупейшие поступки персонажей сменяются осмысленными, когда казавшиеся сверхкрасивыми пререндеренные декорации оживают в честно трехмерном исполнении куда более высокого качества, когда каждая локация одновременно и вызывает чувство ностальгии, и удивляет чем-то новым, сомнений не остается: ремейк удался.

Kısacası Resident Evil 2'nin eski versiyonuna mümkün olduğu kadar sadık kaldığını ama bunu yeni teknoloji, ses ve görsel efektler ile perçinlediğini söyleyebilirim. Umarım Capcom'un son yıllarda yapmış olduğu köklü değişiklik ve bunun sonucunda yakalamış olduğu başarıyı Resident Evil 2 Remake'in satışlarında da yakalar. Çünkü oyunu bitirdiğinizde aklınızda sıradaki oyunu beklemek olacağı gibi, kulağınızda ise sadece bir kelime çınlayacak... STARSSSSSS....

Resident Evil 2 is uiteindelijk precies geworden wat ik ervan gehoopt had. Het spel doet eer aan de toffe settings van het origineel en maakt er een hedendaagse game van die sfeervol, spannend en vooral leuk is om te spelen. Soms heeft het spel een beetje een uitschieter qua moeilijkheidsgraad, maar dat is bijna altijd op te lossen door beter met de wapens om te gaan.

Nastawiony na klasyczną zabawę dla jednego gracza, bez wciśniętych na siłę mikrotransakcji, lootboksów czy modułów sieciowych. Proponujący sporo dodatkowej zawartości, dzięki której można i chce się do niego wracać także po skończeniu kilkunastogodzinnego wątku głównego. Jeśli taka gra nie zasługuje na to, by kupić ją za pełną cenę – to żadna na to nie zasługuje.

Resident Evil 2 prezentuje się niesamowicie zarówno w kwestii graficznej jak i gameplayu. To remake dopracowany w każdym detalu. Zombie jeszcze nigdy nie prezentowały się tak dobrze.

Resident Evil 2 akoby ani nemal vyše 20 rokov. Omladzovacia kúra mu veľmi prospela a je ako zrelá osobnosť, čo má šarm, eleganciu a hrateľnosť overenú časom, ktorá nestarne a stále ukazuje svoju jedinečnosť. Klasický štýl, charakteristický najmä pre prvé časti série, je nenásilne prispôsobený modernej dobe a stále ponúka niečo unikátne, čo vám ani mnohé súčasné tituly jednoducho nedajú.
