Resident Evil 2 the remake of the famous 1998 horror title is releasing next year, having all fans excited about its graphical fidelity and new mechanics. Why is not "remake" used in the game's name though? Capcom explains.
Remakes are a common thing for huge franchises like Resident Evil. However, Capcom has a good reason to do not announce Resident Evil 2
Mike Lunn, Capcom Brand Manager, during a conversation with GamingBolt revealed That Resident Evil 2 is not a 1: 1 remake and is actually more like a fresh take on the original game. He stated:
"It will not be faithful one to one. Someone played the game, some people played it and some people played it because it was their favorite game. For the people who have played it a thousand times, we wanted to feel fresh. That's why we do not call it Resident Evil 2 Remake . It is a new game built on the top of the foundation. "
To prove his point, Lunn Gave an example of where you're walking through the police station, and a lurker walks by the window. In the original Resident Evil 2 this happens every time, however, in the 2019 version it will not be happening. As explained, they do not want to know exactly how to solve their problems. This is another change, after the Zapping system being removed.
While this looks like a positive change on the future title, we can not help but wonder what will this mean to future Resident Evil 2 speedrunners. The speedrunning community has been creating some amazing world records in the original. Resident Evil 2 [xii]Resident Evil 2 releases on January 25 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC . A Nintendo Switch version of the game is not coming anytime soon, however, since more franchise titles are available on the console, we might be able to see this happening at a later date.
