The waiting is over, folks! After what seemed to be an eternity for fans of Capcom's iconic survival horror series, the long-awaited
Resident Evil 2 remake has finally become available today for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam; taking fans of the
Resident Evil series back to Raccoon City.
Resident Evil 2 is a remake of the original game, although the new version is taking some liberties that promise to make this a new experience for long-time players who got the chance to play the original game back in 1998.
Just last week, we found out that there are a few modes that are also making a comeback — such as "The 4th Survivor" Mode that had players taking on hordes of zombies as Umbrella operative HUNK, and trying to make their way out of the city with the G-Virus.
Today, and now that the game has finally launched, Capcom has released a new gameplay trailer for
Resident Evil 2's "The 4th Survivor", which looks just as good as we all remember it from the original game.
Take a look:
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 is available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam today.
