Think of it as a new take on the B-side stories.
Of course, the two characters still have their own stories, and while the ‘Zapping’ system of the original doesn’t return there’s still an alternate campaign - with different item locations and enemy placements - to explore once you’ve cleared the game. They then drive to Raccoon City before getting separated by an out of control tanker – familiar, but not a carbon copy. The basic story beats have been remixed in some cases, for example Leon and Claire meeting up at a gas station instead of a diner. Capcom’s gone back to the drawing board for this one, updating the game so that it feels completely fresh but, in many ways, still nostalgically familiar. And boy, has the wait been worth it.ĭoes anyone remember the GameCube remake, which now stands as one of the best examples of how to get a remake right? Well, this new Resident Evil 2 blows that clean out of the water.
To this day I know more about Raccoon City than my own neighborhood, so when Capcom decided to remaster this horror classic you can bet I jumped on it the first chance I got. It’s been more than a decade since I last played the original Resident Evil 2 at launch.
