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

I would absolutely love that. By far my favourite of them all.

As an avid gamer in the 90s and now only refinding my love for it, albeit only for an hour or so a week I must say I’m excited to hear of this remake, throw in the Ff7 remake and happy days

As someone who never played the original, what exactly is the IGN reviwer so annoyed with??. Without spoiling anything.

With the original you unlocked the alternate characters scenario which is like the other side of the story.

It seems however that instead all you get now is the second scenario for your current character.

So it used to be like:

Beat the game with Leon - unlock Claires B scenario

Beat the game with Claire - unlock Leons B

Now it's Leon A - unlocks Leon B

Claire A - Unlocks Claire B

So there's no feeling of crossing over.

There was some cool things in the original where you got a choice of item and the one you picked in A wouldn't be there for the B scenario.

Am I wrong thinking Nemesis was a really short game. I remember playing the Trilogy years ago & may have rushed that one but I recall it being noticeably short

Not sure it's a popular opinion but I can see the reviewers point of view.....

Not for me. I cleared that game close 30 times I'd say. Played it to death.

Another game I loved was Dino Crisis!!

Resident Evil 1,2,3 all took about 6 - 8 hours on the first play through

Nemesis was also the start of the mercenaries, doing well have you money to buy weapons for the main game which was cool. Dino Crisis was brilliant.

I only finished another replay of Nemesis recently.
My run was 9 hours. It's quality over quantity.

RE3 has huge replay-ability due to the ammo crafting. I done a shotgun run this time round to get enhanced rounds.

Sometimes grenade launcher. Sometimes Pistol.

I'd love a dino crisis remake also.

I doubt the reviewer was even a twinkle in daddys ballsack when Resi 2 originally came out. How could you see something that immediately gives the game replayability (and doesn’t require any extra money, only that you enjoy the game 1 time through) as a negative?

Games are so much harder to create nowadays that doing a and b scenarios for both characters just seems a waste of time and money I prefer the fleshed out story for both characters

But at least they kept one cool part you finish both characters then get the true ending so I’ve read anyways. Plus nowadays with tons of games around who wants to play a game 4 different times just to see all the content I know they moved stuff around in the b scenarios but they were still basically the same most of the way through

Rob2D

I had something RE to say but after catching up on the thread, all I can think about is how much I love DINO CRISIS :pac:

I can't believe people are moaning about the character select thing.

What's worse is some of the folks reviewing this game haven't even played the original or were too young to remember.

Wing bags :P

I loved going from Leon A to Claire B in the original, felt like 2 games. I find it very weird you have to do Leon A to Leon B and then same for Claire. Actually, looking it up, maybe that's still the case? IGN have taken down their techie to re-evaluate. I read they blocked people who pointed out their mistake, classy.

BY DAEMON HATFIELD [Editor's Note: We've realized that we were confused about the way the second perspective is unlocked. After you play through one, the alternate perspective becomes available for the other character through different section of the main menu. We're working on a revised version of this review and will update it shortly. We apologize for the error.]

IGN are a bunch of clowns, the person clearly never played the original either (they don't have had to but don't say so in the review).

Watched Skillup's review who has it as one of early contenders for GOTY but it's kind of dampened my enthusiasm for a couple of reasons.

The Tyrant. Haven't been mad about this from day one. Skillup said it's probably the best feature of the game but accepted some people don't like timers. I'm some people. I just can't reconcile myself with this concept.

Lack of resources. Ok this is a staple of survival horror and has never been a problem before but I’m concerned as several reviews have commented on the resources being much less than previous games. Combine this with the never give up zombies and the Tyrant, I’m worried

I’ve no doubt this is a great game I just wonder if it’s something I’ll have the patience for. I’m certainly leaning towards selecting

assisted difficulty

recyclops

Cd keys has slightly cheaper digital versions of the games than xbox store

Standard is 42 euro and deluxe is 52 euro. Absolute bargain for anyone game sharing.

That is the real issue. A good number of the reviews and also the youtubers have never played the series or the original RE 2 in its entirety. This is going to be a massive success for Capcom and it is going to slingshot them into remaking other RE games no doubt.

I think they really do need to have played it. Surely to critique this game accurately you have to be able to compare to the classic RE2

This is not a slight on the some Joe Soap who hasn't played the original. I specifically mean the actual person doing the review for IGN.

It is a remake afterall.

Incredibly ameturish from IGN

But lets put it this way. Someone who picks up the original RE2 to play in todays world may very well be underwhelmed by the graphics, clunky controls, cheesy voice acting etc. It becomes very hard for someone who did not play the original RE2 within the first 2 years after its release to actually give a proper comparison with the new RE2.

The reviewer might have been told, "you have to play both" in order to give a comparison, but someone playing the original RE2 now, may well miss the way the game made you feel. They wont get the draw that the game had when they are being asked to compare to a current gen version.

What I am saying is, I am old and we need oldies to review this remake and compare it properly to the original

gimli2112

I don't think you'd have to have played the original to review this game on its own merits. I agree it would add a different perspective but you would still be able to say the 2019 one is good, bad or indifferent.


There's no way the remake or playing the original now would have the same impact as playing RE2 back in the day but that's a different issue..

It's not like the remake has sneaked up on us. The reviewer had loads of time to play the original before reviewing this one.

CastorTroy

But why would you need to play the original? With people saying about some reviewers are probably too young to remember/have played the original, do you not think some people buying the game are in the same boat? So why not review it as a standalone game?
Or maybe have reviews from someone who has played the original and someone who hasn't.
I've thought before that games should be reviewed by at least 2 people - one with experience with the series/genre and one with little or no experience.
For example a game like Xenoblade Chronicles comes out, would I as a non RPG fan like it. Or even Souls games.

But on another note, I think this is the first review from Daemon that I've seen. I always thought he was just there for the video/podcast side of things.

I've been avoiding as much hype about this as I can, yet like a zombie dog, it keeps bursting through the window at me.

*jumps on hype train* Roll on Friday!

So it seems that all of the bashing IGN got for their review has forced them to redo the review.

The reviewer criticised elements from the first RE 2 game and complained that things were locked behind the play-through. IGN pulled the review and amended it and reposted it this morning.

Yesterday IGN scored the game 8.8/10 and today the review is changed and the score is 9/10 and classed as amazing.

Why on earth are people looking at IGN reviews?

That .2 makes a big difference.
