I do think that the portrayal of Wesker in RE 5 is also brilliant.

Melodramtic physcopath

He's a brilliant villain and his hate for Chris is unreal

I enjoyed D.C. Douglas' take on the character. It's just a bit tragic that they just turned him into yet another mad, tentacle villain.

Keep an eye out for Eurogamers review aswell but I think they are in love with the game so it will likely score very high here.

I must check out when ACG will have his review up. He is pretty much the only one I check reviews with these days.

He's probably the best reviewer that I've come across. That said, the demo was my main reason for purchasing the game.

I personally would take the vast majority of review scores by the big media outlets with a pinch of salt. The relationship between game devs and journos seems to be totally incestuous.

Same can be said about Streaming Reviewers such as that on YouTube. Too many of them, the high profile ones with hundreds of thousands to millions of subs, are sellout influencers.

Very true, I tend to watch a game on twitch the day it releases IF I am on the fence. I don't listen to what the player is talking about, I just use their game play to judge if a game is for me or not.

I'm buying it because I loved the original. The demo just showed how much I'm actually looking forward to it.

Completely agree. I am buying it for the same reasons. Really looking forward to it.

Ghost Survivors coming for free post launch.

Just announced on Capcom's Resident Evil 2 Launch Event Stream. Ghost Survivors is a free content update for REmake 2 that will be hitting post-launch, no date yet, but it's a new game mode where you can play as multiple characters, it'll be a mode with randomized elements, an in-game shop (not micro transactions, earn points in-game by performing well), and should be very replayable they say. Hints it might be like a randomizor/rogue mode, but no 100% at this time. Confirm that Robert Kendo, a USS Member and Katherine (mayor's daughter) are playable in it, surprisingly the characters from the main game not confirmed playable at this time (but say more characters to be revealed).

You had to finish the game in the original so in that sense it was hidden behind your first playthrough

Wouldnt call that hidden though, unlocked would be the phrase and its how it should be progression wise

It’s like being a child at Christmas waiting for this game to come out. I’ve been waiting for years for this to happen, can’t believe the time is nearly here

gimli2112

I'm getting triggered by the fact I can't pre-download my pre-order before midnight Thursday. I don't know why 'cos I won't be playing it until Friday night. Why do videogames make me so irrational?

Critics love it....

Jesus the hype lol

Oh God I cannot freakin wait!

I remember playing RE2 when it first came out in 1998, so much hype then too, it was brilliant. Got my mate to play the first couple of hours while I watched cos I was terrified And so many replays. The remake demo was right on the money.

I hope to god the gattling gun is back in this as a special :pac:

Presume they'll do RE3 with the success this looks like it's going to be.
