MULTI [OT] Resident Evil 2 | The survival horror classic reimagined

[CerebralTiger]

Resi 2 remake has one of the best level designs I have ever come across after Bloodborne

Yeah these two games are among the finest representations of Metroidvania design in a 3D game.

I only wish Capcom had taken the same route with DMC5, but the demo and reviews indicate otherwise.

You mean you wanted them to give DMC metroidvania elements ?

I don't think that would have gone well with the fanbase.

Probably not, but it could've taken the series forward in terms of level design much in the same way as it did for GoW.

Certainly not a deal breaker, though.

TBH i wanted a sequel for that to come out as the story was getting to me but ahh damn

I managed to get the first person mod working after a bunch of tinkering. Yeah it's a good effort but there are a bunch of small glitches etc (like lighting sorta breaking in some rooms). But it's definitely a unique way to replay the game that's for sure.

It's not possible to completely stop the head-bob while running but at least the mod has an option to reduce it a lot from the default values. Otherwise it'd become a real messy experience. Will take some pics and post later or over the weekend.

Some first person pics, as we can see, it's not perfect, weird perspective issue, weird lighting related glitches and the camera doesn't feel anywhere near as smooth as it does in third person. But a great effort for a fan-mod.

I can vouch this was taken by @Janario. His keen eyes can figure out something of this sort in dark spaces even without a torch

man headbobbing in fps, calls for a nausea feeling

Yep, unfortunately no way to completely turn off head bob in first person mode.

RE7 has the option and I'm glad it does. Makes playing games in first person much more enjoyable to me without the bobbing every step.

doesn't re7 have an option for fps mode officially ? or was that the vr experience of it

RE7 is first person no matter how you play. I'm talking about the head bob option. RE7 had the option to enable or disable it.

[h=1]Resident Evil 2 add-on will let you skip the challenges, get right to the Tofu[/h]

[h=2]New $4.99 DLC will let you unlock all the in-game rewards[/h]

Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 remake offers plenty beyond the core campaigns for Claire and Leon. Two extra scenarios, starring Umbrella Security Services operative Hunk and STARS member Tofu, are also available. But if you don’t want to put in the work or the time to unlock them — Hunk merely requires completing the game’s A and B scenarios — you can do that now for a few extra bucks.
The All In-game Rewards Unlock item costs $4.99 and grants immediate access to “The 4th Survivor” and “The Tofu Survivor” scenarios, as well as costumes, the infinite bonus weapon, and in-game models and concept art. These extras can be unlocked through gameplay by meeting certain requirements, but if you don’t feel like tackling some of Resident Evil 2’s more difficult challenges, and still want all the stuff, Capcom’s giving you the option for a small fee.
Resident Evil 2’s in-game rewards unlock is available from the PlayStation Store, Steam, andXbox Games Store. That time-saving purchase may be a little easier to swallow with all the free content — Ghost Survivors and the ’98 costumes for Claire and Leon — that Capcom has released since Resident Evil 2 arrived in January.

 

[Chandoo]

[h=1]Voice Actor for Resident Evil 2's Leon Kennedy Passes Away[/h]



Paul Haddad, the voice actor for the legendary Leon Kennedy from the original Resident Evil 2, has sadly passed away, and many are mourning his loss.

• In a huge blow to his loved ones and fans of the popular survival horror series, Paul Haddad, the voice actor of the original Resident Evil 2's Leon Kennedy has passed away. Haddad's legacy as a thespian lives on not only through his timeless role as a video game icon, but also through his many other acting credits.
  Paul Haddad was born in Birhmingham, England on May 20, 1963, and the English-born Canadian later returned to Quebec with his family. There, he studied acting at McGill University and and the National Theater School of Canada in Montreal, graduating in 1988. From 1986 until his passing, Haddad appeared in several live-action TV and movie productions, and found particular success in video game and animation voice work, which led to his role as Quicksilver and other characters in the 1992 X-Men cartoon. He later starred alongside fellow Canadian Alyson Court (Claire Redfield) in the 1998 hit PS1 hit Resident Evil 2, playing the unforgettable part of rookie cop Leon Kennedy as he survives a zombie apocalypse in the infamous Raccoon City Police Station. He didn't reprise the role in future games, but he helped shape a character that remains a fan favorite to this day.
  
  
  
  Paul Haddad's most recent work was as The Cleaner in Daymare: 1998, a nostalgic ode to Resident Evil 2, which released for PC in September 2019 and is slated for launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on April 28, 2020. On April 17, Daymare: 1998 developer Invader Studios shared the shocking news of Haddad having passed away two days prior in a heartfelt tweet, stating, "Paul Haddad, our dear friend and icon among the RE community, has passed away recently." The solemn goodbye concluded, "Rest in Peace Paul... You will live forever in our hearts." Others in the gaming industry and Resident Evil fan community were quick to share their emotional farewells, including Limited Run Games' Alex Aniel, Resident EvilYouTuber The Sphere Hunter, and Teppen developer GungHo Online. Read their responses below:

  There's no doubt that Haddad's beloved performance as Leon Kennedy has stayed with many players of the original Resident Evil 2, whose massive success in 1998 helped introduce a new generation to survival horror by making the modern remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 possible. Before his death, Haddad shared with fans that he had previously suffered from laryngeal cancer, surviving but permanently damaging his vocal chords in the process. It is currently unknown if his previous cancer diagnosis was relevant to his death at 57 years of age, and no official cause of death has been shared by authorities or his estate at this time.
  Paul Haddad may be gone from the acting world he so loved and helped to define, but his legacy lives on in the seeds he planted in legendary characters like Leon Kennedy. From the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 2 remake to the series' rumored future innovations, his voice and those it inspired will continue to echo on throughout the annals of gaming history.
