It's here - RE2 Remake Official E3 Trailer

[Mikhail]

Well I'm glad to have been around playing games since the NES era where you actually had to engage and use your imagination. It's a shame things have to be photo realistic for people to understand the greatness of some videogames. I vaguely remember Leon being mixed race, and to be honest in the trailers he looks it, he still reminds me a bit of the youthful "Dante" but the more I've watched the videos the more I'm okay with it.

But talking about edgy, Cuberpunk 2077 looks shit hot! Love it!

Yeah just like Bladerunner and Blood Dragon can never have enough neon

Actual gameplay footage is popping up from a PS4
demo at E3.

Maybe but I find myself playing less games because they try so hard to be edgey, I feel sorry for the millennials everything they have is so fake and manufactured to order.

On second thoughts, looking at his Bio (pun intended) he was born in 1977 and took his first day on the job in 1998, so he's only 21 which is still quite young. When I was 21 I thought I looked old but looking at people in their 20's now they still look like babies, so it's kind of fitting. Plus it makes him look even more of a rookie which we have to remember, Leon isn't a boss here, this is the first time he's ever seen this shit.

You know, focusing on 1.5 so much for the past ten years, it still makes me appreciate how good the retail game actually is. RE1 was an oddity but this is what really propelled RE into the shit piece that it is today lol, or the masterpiece that was RE4, Sugimura did an amazing job as a scenario writer.

Yeah felt the same they look like teenagers rather than twenties, guess their trying to capture new fans and appeal to that wannabe angst Bieber market phase that some go through it used to be goths and punks, glad they've chosen this style gameplay though and not the re7 vr bs.

I thought Leon looked a bit like DMC Dante. The new character designs is wierd but it's something I can get used to.

anything else in the trailer that anyone else noticed?

we hear hunk on the radio but then also leon...do the two meet each other?

I mean, obviously you can't take the trailers at face value, but it appears in the gameplay trailer that Leon approaches the RPD from the same direction that Jill does, from the "south-east" instead of the "north-west" (relative to the RPDs entrance). It appears that there is a longer street section than usual, however in the rat trailer you can see that the tanker explosion still occurs, so it's unsure looking between the two trailers just how the street layout is mapped.

The question is which traler came first, because each trailer contradicts its self. It's interesting that they've created a shot taken from the same angle that Jill comes from, it has no relevance to core RE2 but they put it in there anyway. I don't see any other street sections such as the ones at the back of Kendo's gun shop, but I do see the tanker explosion and I do see the bus, so there seems to be a mix of material there, the big question being why is Jill's angle shown off so early in a trailer.

The dream would be multiple scenarios, Leon, Claire, Ada, Jill and Hunk. I'm leaning on the side that Jill might actually be represented in this game, purely because of her camera angle being one of the first things we see in the reveal, that took a lot of thought. It is a convenient camera angle that shows off the whole RPD, something that doesn't happen in RE2, so perhaps it's just context and fan service, but there are of course other ways of doing those things, as we've seen with the odd 1.5 reference.

I'm overall happy with what I see, it has a very dark and super gory atmosphere, a lot like the Darkside Chronicles, I thought the gore factor in that game was spot on so seeing that they've turned it up to 11 sits good with me. For now, yeah I'm happy with it.

Is Leon half Japanese? What's his ethnicity?

Half Italian? I vaguely remember him being mixed race.

Omnomnom on yo’ face, Leon.

It's nice to see the female zombie, I hope they keep them in as homages to 1.5.

That was one of my favorite scenes in the trailer; the cop zombie swarm. I hope this remake will reimplement more of the 1.5 gameplay concepts as well. I love how the environments are much darker and more claustrophobic. I’m trying not to let my enthusiasm create unrealistic expectations but I was thoroughly impressed by the E3 presentation.

i hope the game goes into a 1.5 storyline vibe
