The
Resident Evil 2 remake is one of the most anticipated games for fans of Capcom's iconic survival horror series; especially because it's based in what is arguably one of the best titles i nthe series alongside the brilliant
Resident Evil 4.
While there were some changes made to the original game in this new remake,
Resident Evil 2 is a very welcomed upgrade that not only shines from a technical standpoint, but is also very pleasant to look at thanks to the RE Engine; the very same engine used in the critically acclaimed
Resident Evil 7.
While the
Resident Evil 2 remake and the original share a lot of things in common, some things have been changed to keep things fresh for both long-time fans and newcomers to the series.
Today, the official
Resident Evil Twitter account has uploaded a 1-minute clip that compares side-by-side both the original
Resident Evil 2 and the upcoming remake, showing us some iconic locations like the Raccoon City Police Department, as well as the huge leap in graphics the game has seen in over 20 years since it was originally released.
Check it out:
