While it's one thing to have a pretty looking video game, I think the visuals of Resident Evil 2 significantly impact the horror and scares that the title offers to a high degree. Not only was it a joy for my eyes to play on a PS4 Pro, but the lighting specifically I found to be phenomenal. From the swaying of individual strands of Leon's hair as he walks, to the haunting corridors of the Raccoon City Police Department, everything in RE2 has been crafted with such care not only to appropriately emulate the original game, but to also just stand out amongst the crowd in today's AAA gaming space.Īnd it can also probably go without saying, but hey, Resident Evil 2 also looks incredible. While there are some other games over the past few years that we have seen receive ground up remakes- Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Shadow of the Colossus- none of them have had the same minute attention to detail that every single aspect of Resident Evil 2 boasted. On the technical front, I was also just blown away by the detail put into Resident Evil 2.
".this modern iteration of Resident Evil 2 is one of the most frightening games I have played in years." The modern cinematic-style presentation is one of the main reasons behind this added sense of character weight, but the performances I also found to be quite good. You really feel empathy for a variety of different personalities that you come across in the game, which is something I didn't expect as someone who already knows the tale this game is telling front-to-back. One of the things that took me back as I played through this remake was just how well done many of the character moments were. While that silliness is mostly done away with in Resident Evil 2, I think it is for the better. From dumb quotes like "Jill Sandwich" and "Master of Unlocking," old school RE has always been synonymous with campiness just as much as it has been with jump scares. The old Resident Evil games while beloved, have always been somewhat hokey in their presentation. The story in Resident Evil 2 is, for the most part, identical to what it has always been, but for this remake, Capcom opted to add a few more scenes and locations to the narrative to further enhance it. Both characters follow somewhat different storylines which when put together give you the full context of what has transpired within Raccoon City and just how zombies wound up taking over its streets. You find yourself in the shoes of either Leon Kennedy, a rookie cop traveling to Raccoon City for his first day on the job, or Claire Redfield, a college student who is in search of her brother, Chris. While there are a lot of changes that come with Resident Evil 2, the game's formula is largely the same as it ever was back in '98. again rises above almost everything else within its genre and stands as one of the best survival horror games ever."
