Biohazard 2 Remake on the way?

[Dot50Cal]

I figure that they've been porting things so much, they are most likely sick of working with the old stories ;P

That, and the old style games don't sell as well these days. So they'd need to really dedicate an entire team to making new scenarios and such for the new gameplay. I doubt they'd do that, when they already have a ton of next-gen hits like Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Re5. All their top tier teams are probably busy with new properties.

I've never been sure. Maybe because a Remake takes a lot more funds than the ports they oh so love. Possibly there staff is so wrapped up in other projects they don't have minions to spare.

Or, and this is my personal favorite, Capcom like fans to suffer.

Why does Capcom not want to remake Resident Evil 2? Im sure they have read the petitions, fans have been asking for a RE2 remake since RE1 remake was released. I mean, it should be somewhat easy for Capcom to do this since they already have the story, characters, monsters, etc. Im sure Capcom would hit the jackpot if they were to do this so why are they holding back? It doesnt make any sense if they know fans of the series really want this to happen, yet they wont bother with it.

I thought this story had died when Capcom debunked it; it is dead right?

pretty much, yes

[CODE_umb87]

I would actually like to see the RE2 remake on the PS3 rather than the wii. Better graphics would make the game scarier.

There is a GOD, with the rumors are true. Just need to buy a Wii ^^;

Well I hope to see an RE2 remake especially since I own a Wii.
Who knows maybe Capcom won't screw it up, remember if this remake sells well we could be seeing an RE3 remake!

I give up on Capcom if they remake RE2 after all this time. Constant porting and endless side stories is one thing, but remaking the entire series is way too much.

Especially since NOTHING SHOULD BE CHANGED ANYWAY.

A shitty light gun game this time containing an equally shitty, butchered RE2 "remake" and CVX scenario? That I could stomach.

A full RE2 remake would be enough for me to buy a Wii. Umbrella Chronicles almost made me want one enough, but playing through one of my top 5 favorite games all-time, remade with current-gen(sorta) graphics, would be enough for me to ignore those stupid, stupid controllers.

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles is a great game. I bougtht the Wii the week before this game was released and I'm very happy with this game, recomended to all Resident Evil fans.
Well, the idea of a Resident Evil 2 Remake is great. I thought it will be released on the GameCube but Capcom didn't make it so it would be a great new to have it for the Wii.

you can express my thoughts/feelings better than myself

or just a straight port of the GC version ..

no man...no

Yes, we're the stupid ones. This coming from a guy who has a poor grasp of English grammar - limited punctuation usage, run-on sentences, misspellings, etc. And, you can't use the excuse that English is your second language (since you do live in the UK, after all).

You really showed us.

I'm dyslectic satisfied

[Scott Green]

...it does now, yes.

I must admit, the more I see of the old Zero the more intruiged I am. Less intruiged than most, I must admit, but it does look interesting. Since they kept the maps and story there probably isn't any real change between the two titles bar the massively improved graphics. The brand spanking new models and backgrounds may look pretty but there is something charming about the older version, even if it's essentially the same. But I must admit I'd love to see where changes were made, and if the story was maybe a bit more sensible in the older version.

I tell you it's the running-style/speed... they were much faster in the old version and they didn't hold their handguns with both hands while running
