Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil 2 is a 2019 survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. A remake of the 1998 game Resident Evil 2, it was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in January 2019. And for Amazon Luna, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S in June 2022. Players control rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield as they attempt to escape Raccoon City during a viral outbreak that transforms the citizens into zombies and other creatures.

Capcom first considered remaking Resident Evil 2 following the release of the remake of the first Resident Evil in 2002. But was delayed as series creator Shinji Mikami did not want to divert development from the then-upcoming Resident Evil 4 (2005). Capcom announced the Resident Evil 2 remake in August 2015 and release the first trailer and gameplay footage at E3 2018.

Resident Evil 2 receive critical acclaim, with praise for its presentation, gameplay, and faithfulness to the original. It receive numerous accolades, including a nomination for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2019. And winning Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards 2019. It has sold over ten million copies as of 2022, outselling the original Resident Evil 2. It was follow by another remake, Resident Evil 3, in 2020.

Gameplay

Resident Evil 2 is a remake of the 1998 game Resident Evil 2 for PlayStation. Unlike the original, which uses tank controls and fix camera angles. The remake features “over-the-shoulder” third-person shooter gameplay similar to Resident Evil 4 and more recent games in the series. That allows players the option to move while using their weapons similar to Resident Evil 6.

The assisted and standard difficulty modes deviate from the original by featuring autosaves. And allowing players to save as often as they would like inside safe rooms. If the player chooses to play on “Hardcore” difficulty, players will be require to collect. And use a finite number of ink ribbons to save the game’s progress, much like in the original game.

While exploring the police station, players can find and pick up items that can help them survive and escape. Certain items such as herbs and gun powder can be combine to make healing items and ammunition respectively. Items can also be inspect for clues gaining access to certain areas. Or items hidden throughout the game and can be discard after use.

Depend on difficulty

Overall combat varies depending on difficulty. Assisted difficulty allows aim assist and health recovery along with weaker enemies. While hardcore difficulty has stronger enemies and has scarce ammo for players to find. Combat will also vary depending on who players are fighting. Enemies will generally come after players after they spot. And can be kill or cripple to slow them down. Zombies will attempt to break into the station through windows but can be stop if the windows are board up beforehand. Certain enemies must be fought to progress through the game and cannot be avoid.

Although Leon and Claire will both start with handguns at the beginning of their scenarios. Each has different weapons that can be obtain throughout the game. Weapons can also be customize by finding and equipping gun parts that will improve their performance. Sub weapons like knives and grenades can also be found. And equip and use to attack and fend off enemies that grab onto the player.

Encounter with Tyrant

At certain points in each scenario, players will encounter the Tyrant, a Bio-Organic Weapon (B.O.W.) sent by Umbrella to eliminate all survivors in the police station. And will attempt to kill the player when encounter. The Tyrant cannot be kill, although weapons can stun or slow him down. While players can evade the Tyrant, he will constantly search throughout the station except for safe rooms and certain areas of the police station.

As with the 1998 game, the remake of Resident Evil 2 offers the option to play through the main campaign as either Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie police officer on his first day. Or Claire Redfield, a college student and sister of original protagonist Chris. Depending on the player’s choice, the main story will be experience with variations in subplots. Accessible areas, obtainable items, weapons, and the final boss battle.

Also like the original, both campaigns feature a supporting character. Who becomes playable for one section of the game. Players control the mysterious Ada Wong in Leon’s story, whose segment involves hacking electronic devices. And young girl Sherry Birkin in Claire’s story, whose segment centers around stealth.

2nd Run

Similar to the “Scenario B” feature of the original game, beating the main campaign for the first time unlocks the option to play through a “2nd Run” as the other protagonist. 2nd Run is a variation of the main campaign that adds additional content to frame the second playthrough as occurring concurrently with the first playthrough.

For example, the protagonist in 2nd Run will enter the police station from a different entrance and find several doors already unlock by the protagonist from the first playthrough. Completing 2nd Run is also require to experience the true ending of the main campaign. Selecting the “New Game” scenario for the selected character allows players to start with the default item loadout with items they had playing the game for the first time.

Remake

The remake brings back “The 4th Survivor” and “The Tofu Survivor” minigames present in the 1998 original. Which are unlock after completing the 2nd Run mode. “The 4th Survivor” follows Umbrella Corporation operative Hunk and requires players to travel from the sewers to the outside of the police department. While facing a large number of enemies.

“The Tofu Survivor” features the same scenario. But replaces Hunk with an anthropomorphic tofu arm only with knives. The remake’s version of “The Tofu Survivor” also adds the unlockable characters Konjac, Uirō-Mochi, Flan, and Annin Tofu, who all have a unique item loadout.
