I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

same, but it sounds too good to be true. "graphics to rival GOW" sounds insane considering this is Capcom. Would they throw this kind of power at a remake? Are they really trying to create something on the level of RE4?

is the "RE Engine" the new one that was used to create RE7? If so then I'd agree, they did incredible work with that game and it really succeeded in that hyper-real P.T. vibe.

The game will include campaigns for both Leon and Claire, but the game will overall be much longer than the original with lots of new content and areas.
Aside from the obvious retcons all this new stuff will bring, does this mean they'll give us an overall scenario set which is actually canon this time around (and not some weird hybrid deal), thus ending 20 years of idle chit-chat about a videogame story regarding who meets who while doing what and going where?

Claire-A/Leon-B has always been the official canon way RE2 played out as far as I know. I wouldn't want them to drop Leon-A/Claire-B just for the sake of the story, but adding 2 extra scenarios would probably really stretch development out longer nowadays.

yeah, you could do a mix of 3rd person/fixed cameras and vr with that engine no problem and everything would look great. just change the encounter placement for 3rd person action and fixed/vr survival and you are good to go.

claire A-leon B is the canon scenario, think some other media/games already confirmed it. fits better at any rate even tho leon-a is awesome. its more remake 1 that does the weird hybrid deal, then again i like playing jill then zero then chris whenever im doing my replays.

I knew it wasn’t going to be like REmake. No way Capcom would do another game in that style in 2018. I really hope it’s good since all the 3rd person RE games except for 4 are all pretty mediocre.

Rev2 seems to divide some when it comes to the gameplay but as long as REmake2 doesn't have stealth I think I could enjoy something similar to Rev2. I'm kind of over sneaking past super-powerful enemies being how you create a "survival horror" atmosphere, even in RE7. And as good as REmake is I'm one of those people that think they made it way too hard so I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have.

And if REmake2 can do for the whole cast what Rev2 did for Barry then so much the better.

If they're going down an OTS route for the remake I hope they have a bonus Romero camera option that fixes the cameras in rooms like the first games.

I mean that was a big part of their horror charm after all.

There were occasional confirmations scattered throughout various games for years, like Ada's scenario from UC taking off from Leon B. Then RE6 came out and had Sherry saying point-blank that she got "Devil" vaccinated, which doesn't happen in Leon A/Claire B. The only people left who are arguing about it are from this weird RE fan faction that just loves to overcomplicate things.

(I am absolutely positive that now, in the Year of Our Lord 2018, on some RE fan forum buried somewhere, there's a guy who's still really invested in the "Annette threw the rocket launcher" theory and is actively arguing about it.)

While this is indisputable at this point (and sort of has been that way ever since Ada's epilogue in RE3 confirmed she didn't take a 200ft drop, because even RE isn't wasn't dumb enough to allow characters to survive that sort of thing), I'm sure there was something trivial in Claire A-Leon B that loosely conflicted with some other stuff mentioned down the line due to oversights but whatever, probably just misremembering it. This is RE anyway, a series which took until the fifth main title to give us a game that couldn't possibly give us anything murky enough to question what's canon. Yeah I'm actually including that idiotic bit in CV regarding Claire being poisoned or not because it's such an asinine waste of time finding the serum.

At any rate, silly retcons are bound to happen if there are any new areas. Which there probably will be, else everyone's going to be breezing through the game in 2 hours all over again. Betting against another Lisa-type abomination getting thrown into the story for no good reason though, as that would seriously overcrowd things with regards to "boss" monsters.

I'm curious how they plan to expand the game, but it could just be as "easy" as giving Raccoon City and the RPD a more quasi-realistic sprawling layout (even in RE2, Raccoon is distinctly a Japanese city; no American city, particularly in the Midwest, is that cramped), or incentivizing you to leave the RPD a couple of times.

It'd be wasteful as hell to come up with all the necessary HD assets for the initial run from the crash site to the RPD and then just never use any of them again until the DLC. It'd make sense if you got forced back out into the streets at some point (Mr. X throws you out a window?) or had to make a dash back to Kendo's for something.

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:

The RE fan community in the late '90s and early '00s was insane, even by the lofty standards of the period. I think there might have been a lot of crossover between fans of the series and conspiracy theorists, and it set a tone that's lasted to this day with sites like Project Umbrella.

Kibayasu

The run in to the station could be expanded but I think it’s also possible that it would be shrunk down. The original trip was pretty important to the atmosphere of “don’t want to be outside” but in the end it’s a pretty minor area so it may be relegated to a cutscene. Or small areas separated by cutscenes.

Not that I totally disagree, but you might be able to get away with it if you take the existence of Mr. X and Birkin into account and make the part with the new boss play out in its entirety before the others are introduced. That said, it'd probably undermine the threat of Mr. X, who benefits quite a lot from arriving relatively early on. Alternative idea: No new boss as such, but the way you defeat either of the main bosses influences their mutations and when and where you encounter them again, sort of building on the thing they did in RE3 with Nemesis.

What if REmake 2 also includes 3? It'd help increase and share content between the two games and expand eachother.

It's not generosity, it's development time and budget.

It wouldn't surprise me if a new RE2 were to provide more obvious nods to the fact that RE3 has happened, such as busting out that one window by the west stairs or littering a couple of rooms with blast craters. However, RE3 has gone on to become a weirdly big deal, so I'd expect any amount of remake it receives to be its own independent project.

Yeah, seems like the remake of 2 would have to be pretty disappointing for them to not remake 3 - I suppose how successful it is will determine if they'd go for a standalone title or just a dlc campaign. Not like RE2 doesn't have enough characters for DLC campaigns without adding 3, so they might want to leave 3 for a standalone that can have its own DLC.

Assuming of course that the remake of 2 actually comes out at some point.
