According to Capcom, the upcoming remake of
Resident Evil 2 won't be faithful one to one, giving players that already played the cult classic title a chance to experience something new and fresh. While some things will definitely change, Mr. X will still be the main reason you will need to change your diapers during your
Resident Evil 2 playthrough, as he's back, bigger and more determined than ever.
Thanks to YouTube user Carmen Stoker, we have a chance to check out the mirrored gameplay video from
Resident Evil 2 that spotlights the game's three protagonists - Claire Redfield, the younger sister of former S.T.A.R.S. member Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, a federal agent for the D.S.O., and Ada Wong, a spy for Umbrella's rival company who is sent to recover a sample of the deadly G-virus.
Considering that Capcom has hired an army of developers that includes a massive 800-strong team to remake Resident Evil 2 (to show you the scope of the remake, about 600 developers worked on
Resident Evil 6, as the original was made by less than 50 devs), it probably shouldn't be surprising that
Resident Evil 2 looks absolutely gorgeous and you can see it for yourself down below:
The genre-defining masterpiece Resident Evil 2 returns, completely re-built from the ground up for a deeper narrative experience. Using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil 2 offers a fresh take on the classic survival horror saga with breathtakingly realistic visuals, heart-poundingly immersive audio, a new over-the-shoulder camera, and modernized controls on top of gameplay modes from the original game.
Resident Evil 2 will return reimagined for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on January 25, 2019.
