Resident Evil 2 vs. Resident Evil 2 Remake

[@jacksquatt6082]

My one problem with this game, was that scenarios A and B did not fit together like they did in the original. In the original, A and B felt like they were two different parts of the same story. In the remake, it felt like the two scenarios existed in alternate realities from one another. I really wish they could have figured out how to fix that.

[@DisDatK9]

I couldn’t help but feel like that is because they focused SO much effort on Leon A. Like that feels like a full and distinct game with unique elements; then Claire A feels like they tagged on some elements to make it different. I really wasn’t a big fan of the B scenarios in the remake. Not anything different, just seeing all of the same things and experiencing the same from a different approach and angle. I love the game, but it’s easy to see just where all of the money and time went.

The only thing about REmake 2 i dont like is how they messed up the scenario system and how Leon and Sherry basically had no relationship. When shes grown up she remembers him and Claire as the two that saved her but in the remake they only meet at the end and he doesnt really take care of her like the original so basically theres no reason for her to remember him

[@GoodmansGhost]

Well in the B ending playing as Leon he does save her from the true final boss.

[@icantthinkofaname1009]

The way the scenarios operate is so bizarre. I feel like it makes far less sense than the original game, which is strange because the series is far more lore heavy and focused on having a canon now as opposed to when the original game released. It’s like the truth is some weird amalgamation of elements of all four routes but considering how modern and cinematic the game’s presentation is, I would’ve thought that they were going to take this opportunity to provide a canon, definitive version of what happened to Leon and Claire in Racoon City.

[@beatsmithx1090]

I think you're wrong when you said there's no reason to remember Leon for sherry. in the end it seemed like they were bonding as they walked away from the camera. they were starting to become like a family. so it's completely safe to assume they got close after RE2 remake story

[@KennyLunacy]

"REmake 2" I like what you did there...

[@ourevilone]

the main thing that was great about OG RE2 was the scenario system and the "zapping" system. you would have claire and leon chasing sherry and running into each other or Annette dying in Leons scenario and then Claire and Sherry finding her later.

Regarding the rebranded G Spawn enemies, I actually always wanted them to be recurring enemies, since it implies Birkin has other victims, and that G Creatures can become their own epidemic, even if the G-Virus itself could not be directly transmitted. However, I just wish the G Spawn did not all look exactly the same (maybe just a few cosmetic variations), they needed to be burned before permanently dying, and they did not have an added poison ability (I prefer the game was keeping in Spiders, Moths, and Purple Ivy Variants for that).

[@LOKITYZ]

It's crazy how different one's experience can feel depending on what difficulty they chose to start with. For me, whenever I play a Resident Evil game, I start with the normal or standard difficulty. Once I've beaten it, then I go for the higher or highest difficulty options. Because of that, I didn't experience any of the hindrances that you mention in the video, which made me simply love the game the first time I tried it. Then I played hardcore with the knowledge of beating the game once, and it turned into a whole different and more strategic experience for me. I was more well prepared, and the changes in how enemies interact with you and how durable they are were a welcome surprise and made it an interesting new experience. Overall, I had a continuously fun experience that changed just enough here and there to never make it boring.

Resident Evil 2's remake is really, really good it's not perfect like RE1's remake. To clarify; RE1 remake replaces the original, there's really not much reason to play the PS1 version ever again.

RE2's remake is really, really great but it's different, very different, which I think leaves reason to play and enjoy the original one still.

I actually prefer it that way. Trying to trounce the original version of a game is usually very difficult and is very rarely successful (re1 remake being the exception).

[@notthatinnocent86]

I disagree. The RE1 Remake imo set the standard for how remakes of games should be handled, beyond just Resident Evil: They took what was already there and only added to, barely trimming any fat. Adding to the story and not messing up or simplifying it. In the Re2 Remake, I expected nearly all of the old rooms, puzzles, enemies to be there PLUS potentially new rooms, enemies, weapons, extra game modes.... If youre planning to remake a game, make it so it would be almost pointless to go back to the original other than nostalgia. Id rather play the original RE3 than the Remake, to be honest because of how much cut content there was between the two games.

When you wait for him a little and let him enter the hallway before going up the stairs he will not appear before the locker room.

14:00 small correction George, there is one typewriter in the Sherry Remake section - it's in the room you grab the key off the wall (and trigger the Chief Irons chase), in front of you as soon as you enter the room (at the end of the small hallway on the table). For those on Hardcore, there's a single ink ribbon directly to the left on the shelf, as you enter that room.

[@GugureSux]

The original RE2 allowed you to deal with the crocodile in a similar fashion as any other boss: Shoot it until it dies. In fact, the first handful of playthroughs, I didn't realize the existence of the canister at all. Not only this, but the "Crash Bandicoot" running section in the nu-RE2 is just awfully out of place segment, that does not mesh with the rest of the game.

I really liked the boss fights tbh, especially the G3 fight and the final Mr. X fight. Super intense and super satisfying to finally finish them off.

You'd forget to talk about how the story was damaged, specially what they made with Ada character, and that the 1(A) and 2(B) way is the same after the police station, in the original game I'd been really surprised of how a little thing like Leon go out from the car from the right side or left side, how that change the story fully, and the forth times you play the Game as ClaireA/B LeonA/B it's like to play a different game everytime, and little details like the door that you can just open in the B way if you push the first button in A, or the locker where you can decide if you wish to give those things to the B way, and they forgot that Leon and Claire were escaping together, and in the remake they only talks at beginning and at the end, and those little details made re2 original the perfect game that we remember, and the best hit of Capcom But re2 remake continues being a good game from itself, for everything you'd said in the video

[@ourevilone]

@AJ thats subjective. if you like it better fine but thats not the case for everyone.

[@themoonglitch7317]

All this scenario A and B being so similar really disappointed me. I've played tons of times the original RE2 mixing ClaireA/LeonB LeonA/ClaireB, I still remember everything about it. It has been one of the best game I've ever played on ps1. I like the remake but honestly it's not the same game and I don't think it is better than the original one.

[@PeixeKing]

There isn't really a story to actually damage there; if anything, the fact that characters actually have expressions and decent voice acting made me care a little more about writing that was always bad. Also, seems like a lot of people remember the A and B scenarios in the original differently than me, because there's little difference between them, in terms of gameplay; all this hype about Mr. X in Leon's campaign, but you only encounter him maybe 5 minutes before the final boss fight, that's also nothing to write home about, like basically every classic RE boss fight. The remake took the actual gameplay content of the original's A and B scenarios and put them in a single campaign, while redesigning enemies to be an actual threat, and making some sequences longer. In the original, you had to play two separate campaigns to see Birkin and Mr. X; in the remake, they're in the same campaign, and there's more of both. There are other examples, but that's my point, basically.

3:00 -But that is a valid strategy for getting through the game. It's a high level skill, and shooting guys in the kneecaps with a shotgun or silenced machine gun is safer, but it's still doable. It's more like "some rando can't make jokes of the zombies on their first try, you have to be precise to get away with it". Also, aiming for a bit so that the reticle shrinks (on any weapon with a shrinking reticle) increases damage, reducing the amount of ammo required. Taking the time to line up shots with handguns is a good strategy. Rapid firing into a prone zombies head a bunch of times is just a waste of ammo.

[@geneirai]

you really nailed that planning mindset that re2 remake instills in the player, honestly it feels like the game teaches you how to speed run it as you play, I've finished the A campaign 4 times now, and the B campaign twice, and I've gotten my time down to about 2 and a half hours, from an initial 10 hour run for claire A campaign (on assisted difficulty)

I Loved RE2:Remake, but there were a few things I had to yell foul on. 1: There were less interactions with Leon and Claire than the Original. Yeah, they still separate, but they always took the time to talk to each other. They don't even have a walkie-talkie to respond on. 2: Mr. X. Not the character, (though many can agree he's a real pain in the ass) but a scene relating to him. In Claire's Scenario, Claire and Sherry are chased by Mr. X though an underground passage from the orphanage. Birkin appears and slashes Mr. X almost in half and when you reach the lab as Leon, he comes after him no worse for wear. (It was so confusing that fans thought there were two Mr. X's, but Kazunori Kadoi (the director) confirms that there is ONE Mr. X, confusing them more) 3. The Scenario's sometimes inter-lap with each other, other times not. This really hit a sore spot with me, especially playing the original game in preparation for it. The scenarios in the original had an interlocking story. The scenarios in the remake just seems like they just copy-and-pasted Scenario A with Scenario B with the exception of the beginning and the ending. That's not even getting into the plot-holes the remake causes. (Annette's double death anyone?)

But back to your question... i guess its just that im older now, and absorbed a couple decades worth of zombie films and RE books. Coupled with my own experiences of shooting guns... its just these days, i have a hard time believing (zombie) brain matter is still so resilient after the trauma of not 1, but 3, 9mm nuggets of metal travling at roughly 1,100ft per second. With an average muzzle energy of 370lbs of force. Now, unless the lore of RE zombies has changed, there should be no reason they remain standing.

G birkin 2 is stupidly easy, you never have to "waste" ammo on him at all, even on hardcore. Push his shit in with your pistol or shotty/launcher (in the eyes of course) then slap that big red button. The container will come fast enough to catch him before he acts, so you don't have to flash him to prolong the stun. Hell if you're feeling especially cheeky you can slap him with the container without shooting him at all, though this won't deal enough damage to end the fight quicker.

I've played the game on Hardcore and beat it with Claire, I tried once and messed it up completely. Had no ammo. I came back to it with the Infinite Bullets Gun and Infinite Knife and tried to fight Birkin but lost. I replayed the game and thanks to Darkness I had much more ammo than before. I even made a Video. That's one thing which is good. I always store Ammo and just everything. I bank everything so I don't waste shit. I still suck and haven't played the game for Months but I might come back. I haven't played the Original and this is the First RE game I've played. But first saw RE7 and haven't seen RE8 yet except Overrated memes of Big Lady. Cool that, that game is in my Country. Not the City I was born in oh no but it's still there. (Aka I'm Romanian and I wasn't born in Bucharest and like 2 Hours away from Cluj-Napoca). Anyways. I might actually play the Originals instead. And use the Storage Strat to save ammo.

Instead, a not so fun boss fights, I feel more about the lack of boss fights. between Leon & Claire scenarios, half of the bosses pretty much the same. I have to agree about big crocodile should've been a proper boss fight, maybe even like something that lurks around the sewers. So maybe a crocodile boss fight is for Leon, similar to the lake monster in RE4. Meanwhile, add some good ol' Big Spiders for Claire, it's just such a classic "horror" animal imo. Make the spiders like Necromophs (dead space), showing up out of nowhere for 1 or 2 times in the sewers area. As for another boss fight, it would be Plant 43. I was really expecting that the big flower plant on the window gonna resist to be dead & become a boss fight. I think RE4 still overall has the best boss fights compilations, so many variations & different approaches/strategy.

I was hoping the alligator encounter would be handled in a similar way that the RE1 Remake handled the Neptune sharks. In the original RE1, the encounter with the three sharks was so fast and easy, since you could just run straight to the control room and instantly drain the water to make the sharks harmless. Plus, all the sharks were only as damaging as normal enemies. In the RE1 Remake, however, in the initial gauntlet to the control room had its own intense music, while the two smaller sharks attack like regular enemies and the big Mother Neptune can now periodically leap up from the depths to kill you in one bite. When you do get into the control room, the mother now tries to bash open the glass and nearly floods the whole room, prompting an additional puzzle with a time limit. Then, once the water is drained, you still have to get the key sitting dangerously close to the mother’s mouth, using one of three possible strategies. If the alligator in RE2 Remake was converted into its own multi-stage puzzle or gauntlet in a similar way (like maybe taking inspiration from Killer Croc in “Batman: Arkham Asylum” and saving the final run with the explosive barrel for the very end), then I would have been more than satisfied.

Yeah RE4 has the best boss fights in the series.

9:06 Stairs! That's what that room needed. For all these years I'd been sure it was just a rug.

Old video, but this game is so special comparing to all RE games ever released. even 4 Remake didn't capture the feeling this game did.

I’ll give you that
