It's here - RE2 Remake Official E3 Trailer

They might have censored the content due to some of the audience potentially being under a specific age. I’m not familiar with the laws of that area regarding graphic displays of gore and violence though.

I guess I've heard that Japan is getting both a "censored" and an "uncensored" version. If that was the censored version being shown, at the very least it isn't as awkward as the censorship in the original Japanese version of RE2 on the PS1.

And here I was thinking Japan tended to be more hardcore than us in the US. It seems that they can't figure out what to be nowadays from what I've read in the past few years about games like MGR (where the censorship actually tended to be more consistent with the lore of the universe, funny how that works) having white blood as opposed to red. (a universe detail of which is a plot element in Policenauts, in addition to some of the robots looking kind of like the robots in Z.O.E.. Shared universe, perhaps?)

Birkin can also ascend to the rafters and drop down for a surprise attack if you get far enough away from him. Grenades are rolled along the floor as they were in 1.5, and this playthrough shows the death sequence for what happens when Birkin grabs the player and a self-defense weapon isn’t used. Poor Claire was “Gallagher-d“.

Damn, it's impressive how the steam actually builds up over time the longer the fight goes on!

Also, the police chief better get the facehugger treatment here (seriously, he and Josh Duggar would be at home with each other) and they better not puss out on the gore in this game. I mean, that death scene was OK with Claire, but I can't be the only one wanting to see the original death scenes recreated in some fashion with this one, you know? I mean, it being in first person is cool and all, but this isn't Resident Evil 7, with VR support and all that jazz.

1.5’s dedicated sub-weapon slot found its way into the remake, along with the hand grenades. I had assumed that they would merely function similar to the way they did in the RE1 remake, but it appears that they can be used independent of a self-defense measure during a grapple encounter.

Time to fuel the hype train.

This iteration of Birkin is somewhat disturbing -- his writhing screams during mutation were downright chilling.

The lack of a moody soundtrack was disappointing, though.

Either way, great stuff

I feel like the lack of soundtrack during the fight with Birkin was due to a particular track not existing yet rather than an intentional exclusion.

Is it just me, or is that Birkin-fight VERY MUCH like the elevator scene from Bio 1.5 proto? Down to William screaming "Sherry!" during the battle? And there's a similarly designed, closed space as a battle ground? Jee-sus, they're going out of their way to reference the old prototype as much as they can now.

Good use of William human voice to show off the pain of his tranformations

I would love it if all the scrapped enemies from 1.5 (both concept and implemented) were included in this remake. Tyrant Inferior would be an interesting equivalent to Crimson Heads, I think.

GUUUYYYSSS!!!

This is how it should have been!!!

Yeah, they should have made that type of remake in 2002 or so. I would have loved it.
But for today I think the current approach is better.
I would have loved to have both, though.
