This is the first time I'm hearing of an RE2 remake and it's probably got me more excited than anything else that's been rumoured. RE2 was my first Resident Evil, and I played that game back to front. I had the n64 version, which I got for Christmas after being introduced to the PS version at a friend's sleepover.

It is also the source of my oldest surviving internet footprint, the review 11 year old me posted on Gamefaqs. It was the first time I had been asked "Online Alias: _____" and I couldn't think of anything besides putting "star" in front of my name. poo poo yeah

It did fairly mediocre in America but made up for it with a strong overseas performance. The production costs weren't extravagant either.

It also very likely to make more money than Solo internationally. I don't think anyone expected that going into 2018.

It also had Daniel Wu, who is gaining popularity here but he's already really loving popular in China.

The opinion I've seen that the Ellie kiss immediately transitioning into a scene of horrific violence doesn't make much sense/poor taste is ridiculous to me. Like it's a revenge story and couching the motivation behind Ellie's rampage in an embrace just seemed thematically well executed

My left-field prediction is that the girlfriend left to join the religious cult and left the bracelet as a memento or something.

Although before I saw that Ellie was wearing her bracelet, I assumed the gameplay portion was a flashback and not a flash-forward.

If the horrific gameplay was a flashback it kinda wet towels the dramatic irony in "they should be terrified of you" imho
