Resident Evil 2 Street Date Broken

Resident Evil 2 street date has been broken and those with early access to leaked copies are posting gameplay videos featuring Claire from the opening chapter.

NecrumOddBoy1957d ago

Ok, keep the spoilers out. It's been 20 years for some of us and brand new for others so we want to have a fresh experience

ClayRules20121956d ago

Lol. Just avoid the internet like the plague.

gleepot1955d ago

it hasnt been 20 years for kh3

quent1956d ago

not much to spoil with the series's cartoony writing along with the over top evil Umbrella corp, not why we play em, unless you go out of your'e way to try and find which corners to "spoil" where the zombies are coming from to bite you in the throat

ArchangelMike1957d ago

Yeah, lets stay well away from spoilers so we don't ruin the experience for anyone.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1956d ago

I’d love and early copy of this game. I’ve beat R.E. 2 a few times so I’m not worried about spoilers.

QuePasa871956d ago

I've mostly avoided promo material and I'll avoid the leaked stuff too. The full release is so close!

i hope kingdom hearts 3 will have the same "early" faith (i hope to buy it 4 days earlier)

The prevalence of parrying: Why is it so popular?

Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way.  Why?

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

Dudeson68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.

REmake vs. Resident Evil 2: Which Remake Template is Better?

REmake kept the original style adding new flavour and graphics, Resident Evil 2 is a complete modernisation. Which remake style is superior?

TheBrainZ99d ago

The GameCube remake was stunning for its time but the new modernisation efforts are breathing some much-needed life into the older games.

kevco3399d ago

I loved the GC remake back in 2000-whatever. But I tried replaying it recently and just couldn't deal with the door loading sequences.

Have I been spoilt by modern games? Probably.

Neonridr99d ago

tank controls just don't work in this day and age.

Babadook799d ago

I think Tomb Raider still works but RE I'm not sure.

Neonridr98d ago

@Babadook7 - imagine an updated Resident Evil or Tomb Raider with tank controls? you can't walk and turn at the same time. It would be ridiculous to play.

__y2jb99d ago

Both are fantastic but the old style controls and the half way house attempt to modernize them in remake both feel extremely dated now. Taking away your preference for the various settings and characters, the recent remakes are objectively better games.

rippermcrip99d ago

I think anyone voting for REmake is simply doing it out of nostalgia. No way a new young gamer is going to pick that over the new ones. I couldn't even get my son to play the game for more than an hour.

KyRo99d ago

Nope. REmake has a totally different vibe, feel and tension that the newer remakes can't replicate due to the camera angle. Yes the original fixed camera was used for technical reason but at the same time, they created a feeling of dread not knowing what was around the corner. You simply don't get that with a third person camera as great as the third person RE games are.

FYouDad99d ago

Depends what sort of experience you're looking for. If you enjoy the old fixed camera OG style then REmake is to me the pinnacle of the form. Incredible atmosphere, visual style and a fantastic revision of Resident Evil 1 with additions that feel completely seamless. Resident Evil 2 Remake in an excellent update (especially running with the IMO vastly superior original RE2 soundtrack) with the benefits of modern design but I still prefer the original game.. it didn't "overwrite" that experience in my mind the way REmake felt like it became the definitive RE1 experience.
