Biohazard 2 Remake on the way?

He translated the Japanase text.

The creature is allegedly known as "Thousandsworder". Awful, awful name.

...so it's confirmed that this game is really made by CAPCOM.

Where'd you get this from dude?

Why PS360 and not Wii? For me, because those two consoles could provide better graphics. I'm not a graphic whore, but I would like to see RE2make just for its updated graphics and cut-scenes (apart from that, the game is great as it is). If the game would look like REmake or Zero, with 3D characters running around gorgeous, detailed, animated background - then that's fine for me; but fully 3D environment - then no, thanks :/.

REmake is still one of the most beautiful games I have ever seen...so if RE2 gets a similar facelift, then I will be content.

Capcom is just cashing in on Wii's popularity, and since Wii is the odd console out on RE5, it makes since for a RE2make to show up as a Wii exclusive.

As long as the game remains faithful to the original, and receives the same care that Capcom put into REmake, then I don't see how it cannot be a resounding success. Just because the PS3 and 360 are capable of better graphics, doesn't mean that RE2 for the Wii cannot be beautiful in its own right. REmake and RE0 are great looking games, and they were for the GC...which is only a slight step down from the Wii, in terms of graphical power.

Remotely fair to who?! Is the Wii getting Resident Evil 5?

Why shouldn't Wii owners get something to compensate for that fact?

You'll have to excuse "Biocore," as he's usually pompous and always negative.

Onto the real news - If Bio 2 is actually receiving the REmake facelift, that is really awesome news! I can see it being a good time to do so, as RE5 is excluding the Wii (rightly so, considering the graphical polish) yet Capcom still would love to cash in on Wii's profitability. Also, with the release of "Degeneration," the characters of Leon and Claire are getting a lot of publicity...and what better way to cash in on that, than to re-release the game that featured their original pairing?

Besides, fans have been clamoring for the REmake treatment for RE2 since the Gamecube release of RE1 a few years back.

I don't see how an RE2make could fail. Unless Capcom butchers the Leon and Ada characters like they did in RE4...

Anyway, making it exclusive for the Wii is a horrible idea, to be even remotely fair they should re-release it on the 360 and PS3.

Can anyone give a link to the thread or post on 2ch for this? I find nothing on 2ch remotely like this. Anyway, making it exclusive for the Wii is a horrible idea, to be even remotely fair they should re-release it on the 360 and PS3. Not that Capcom's decisions have ever made sense in the past anyway.

I agree. The Wii is a success, but for the wrong reasons.

I'm not sure but during the last 10 minutes of the podcast IGN talks about a likely Resident Evil for Nintendo Wii

Sorry but since i'm Italian I don't understand exactly what they said about this Resident Evil

The biggest reason I want to play a remake of RE2 is becouse I want to discover what is the real canonic Ada's death (If Leon A or B) and how she revived. Umbrella Chronicles explains only events after she escaped from the Underground Lab but It doesn't explain what happened to Ada between her "death" (29 September night) and her escape from the Underground Lab (1st October night).
If RE2 remake has to be I hope It is going to clarify more about Ada.
However I think the day we'll se another remake is still far away.

Popular Japanese gaming bulletin board, 2ch, has posted information on what looks to be a brand new remake of fan favourite Resident Evil title, Biohazard 2. For now, the posting lists the following features for the game, which will be released exclusively on Nintendo Wii. The details were alledgedly published in the latest Famitsu.

• Full Remake akin to Biohazard on the Gamecube.
• Some parts consist of Resident Evil 4 viewpoints
• New knight like ("swordsman") creature shown
• Additional story elements will be implemented

NB: It is unknown yet whether or not this is 100% confirmed.

Do you mind giving us a link to this post on 2ch? I've searched all over 2ch for Biohazard 2 or Resident Evil 2 and I can't find the post you are referring to. It would've been a good idea to link the source in your original post. =/
