The first time I played the og game I thought the graphics were really high Quality. That thought stuck with me for years until I decided to play it again and realized they weren't that great after all. But yeah, at that time was other level
Well, top-notch for consoles perhaps - I was a PC guy back then, and if you're playing Half-Life in 1024x768 on a high-res monitor, Playstation graphics look rather clunky to you.
@@DowncastParadox I had my first computer in 2004. Before that I played on NES so maybe I am indeed used to console graphics at that time. Tho many PC games released even after this game didn't look as good as this.
Itl be nice if they sharpen up the pixels though, i got the originals on pc through emulation and its upscaled to 1080p with minimal jaggs and blur, i prefer it that way, im suprised modern consoles dont do this
I wish the remake had the licker cut scene like the original. I remember the cut scene looking up at the ceiling and seing the licker crawling forward with its tongue… so creepy.
@@justinbrannon1978 It would be cool to have the original Resident Evil, starring Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, remade on the REengine. Having the whole trilogy in parallel to each other, with over the shoulder gameplay would make a lot of people happy. The game might be too short, because it is set in a Mansion. However, I don't see why wouldn't Capcom explore the whereabouts outside the Mansion and make the player explore peripheral grounds, plus additional walkthroughs for supporting characters such as Barry Burton, Brad Vickers or Albert Wesker. If many fans showed support, Im sure Capcom would respond to another Remake. The HD Remaster is outdated and does not conform with RE:2Remake and the upcoming RE:3Remake.
@@steak8278 Probably because I was already in my 30, but I remember I had immediately considered GTA series from III to Vice City Stories as bad graphics games at the time they were released and they really were (and are) indeed. Useless to say that there were many games with far better graphics and animations back then.
And its a little ridiculous when people say they remember it playing differently is because a ps4 controller is completely shaped different then a ps1 controller? Lol even if its the same buttons the ps1 controller was Tiny and just complete different feel to it lol.
We have kinda reached the peak. It's hard to go better from here. What will change is how AI behaves or the world building and what not. Graphics already seems photorealistic these days. Just check the UE 5.2 Demo.
Already 12 hours in and beat it with Leon last night. Favorite game of all time was in 1999 with RE 3. After 20 years that spot has been finally taken. This game is a literal masterpiece.
Something not enough people point out, is just how good the ambient sounds are in the remake. They already did an amazing job at this in RE7. Every environment is full of amazingly creepy background sounds of creaking and rummishing.
Yes! I have turtle beaches and it makes it even better! You never know if so.ething is there and the creepy noises always keep you on your toes! I think this game is truly awesome!
I know it’s hard but next time try to get through the whole game for the comparison. You missed a lot and incorrectly labeled some too. But still an enjoyable video
This remake is a masterpiece. When i was a kid i never played the RE games because zombies scared me as a concept. Playing them now would only make me laugh, yet i have bought this remake knowing this will be 100 times scarier now than the old one could be at its time. It just looks so good, i know it will provide me some good, tense, and scary moment. A game like this 20 years ago would have sent me straight to therapy lol
This new one is scary in different ways than the originals. The technology makes it more immersive and frightening, but they've added a bunch of features that make it easier to progress through the game. A lot of the fear in the originals came from the punishing save system and backtracking. It was so much easier to get stuck and not know what to do. Granted, I was younger and dumber back then, but I love the way they made this new game more accessible. Re-Masterpiece indeed!
The only things they fucked up was the unnecessary exclusion of Ink Ribbons in normal mode, Moth, Crows, Naked Zombies, Evolved Lickers, Spiders and overly unnecessary modification of the original story. Let's be honest. this game is great, but it's not a masterpiece. This game has changed/deleted elements from the original more than it added. That's not even a Remake, it's a Reimagining. True Masterpiece is the Remake of the first RE.
@@david_contente I agree with u dude, RE (1) remake is a masterpiece, plus I don't think this one is scary, the real horror in the originals was that u, the player, were not able to change the angle of the camera, giving the scary feeling of not knowing what was going to be in the next corridor or room. Since RE4 over the shoulder camera, RE lost its scary feeling, completely. So, this game is 100 times less scarier than the original.
@@virusjerry You can't make games like that any more. Not being able to see what is directly in front of you is a cheap way to create fear. No immersion in that for me. The new ones have to take a more realistic approach to how someone who can see stuff would be scared. It's mostly just jump scares in the new one, but the game gets me all the time when I got the headphones cranked.
RE2 was an amazing game given the technology of the time (and budgets for voice acting). The RE2 Remake is an amazing game through the technology of our time (and advancements in the genre brought on by other properties).
Kinda have to lol, if you get too close they begin to get agitated and may attack so you have to wait inside the room till it goes away. Either that or try killing it and God knows that's a living hell.
The actual gameplay now looks like the cut scene's back then, i remember thinking I wish the whole game cud look as good as the cut scenes, well now they do👌
10:06 Phil #1: Hey Phil, can you do a zombie noise for the game we're working on? Phil #2: yeah sure, uhhhhhhhhhh Phil #1: thanks Phil, that was perfect
I would like to admit that Mr.X is so terrifying in RE2 remake . The words come out from my mouth "Jeez dude give me a break" whenever I encounter him.
Even though Mr x is cool and all , they shouldn't spoiled the mechanic of a monster following you , which is exactly what the nemesis is , if they plan on making a re 3 , which I'm kinda worried about , specially in terms of story, cuss to me personally re2 remake sucked in the story part.
Will Smith provided the voice for some of the Male zombies in RE2(1998) but like the other voice actors for the zombies, he was uncredited despite being paid.
Actually, in the PS1 game he mentions it's his first day on the job. He doesn't mention whether he's on duty already or not, and given his reaction from seeing how things are at the station and in the city, you can assume he has yet to actually go on duty/clock in yet.
It's amazing that the remake looks way better than even the computer generated cutscenes of the original. I remember seeing those and imagining how crazy it would be if gameplay in Resident Evil looked that good some day.
Not much in terms of graphics, because we already hit the "looks like real life" mark. At most, small improvements will be made, but that's it. What most likely will change is how "interactive" games will be, in terms of VR, 3D and such. Immersion so to speak.
The original RE2's soundtrack is so flawless that it's unbeatable when compared to the remake's soundtrack. However, the remake personally is a lot more scarier this time around. RE2's remake is by far the best most recent video game remake right now.
The door animations made those games special! Now you open a door to go into a room it doesn’t feel any different than Cod, Fallout or any other newer game.
I NEVER saw Leon as redhead. He was always a brunette. I have never seen him as anything else. When I played RE2 in 1998, when I played RE4 in 2005ish, playing RE6 in 2012. I mean, maybe it was just my TV at the time, but I have never heard anyone I have talked with refer to him as a redhead. I have always seen him with brown hair. Sure, maybe VERY dark blonde, but never red. Anywho, doesn't really matter much I guess, but that just stopped me, lol.
As a life time hardcore fan of RE, I was sceptical when I first heard about the remake..The original three were and for me, still are some of the best games ever created..With that said, the RE2make was a perfect creation in every way..I was pleasantly surprised at how true to the original it was while also being able to argue it's is it's own game with so many subtle differences..So many in fact that it made a RE veteran like myself have to critically think and be genuinely scared for my life at times..This technically has surpassed the brilliance of the original but can also make a claim at surpassing the current level of video games..For me, this was the best PS4 game I have ever played and I only hope and pray that RE3 and maybe RE1 get this kind of treatment. Capcom, please remake the entire franchise in this image..Thank you..
Playing the original on the 64 that I love and playing the remake. To me, it's a perfect reflection. Things had to be changed to fit into a living present reality we live in today. We really got to experience and get to know Marvin and a lot more of his advice than the original. The reality of a darkened police station because of a zombie apocalypse happening that really takes a toll on the station. The gore of the zombies and the detail put into them, really embracing how bodies begin to fall apart while they decay. The reality of the sewers and the disgusting remains growing throughout it because of the virus.....even the new creatures roaming around the sewers get my love. The alligator sequence, although I would have loved to shoot it, it sticks to this reality...something that huge will not be affected by small handgun or shotgun bullets....I loved it. The fights with the different forms of William Birkin were all there....with small changes...it still holds true to the original. What really made me shiver in fear is that Mr. X AKA Tyrant never stops following you until it kills you. I loved it all. Resident Evil 2 will always be one of my all time favorite games from the past....and now the remake being such a perfect and improved reflection of the original is on that list as well. ❤❤ Absolutely cannot wait if Resident Evil 3 gets a remake. ❤❤
these new ones continue to keep me shook. Even in certain locations i think they have specific new audio clips just to make sure you dont ever get comfortable to them.
Iconic, not good though. Or at least not better than those of the remake. I have to assume that people who say or think the original ones are better, have some seriously thick nostalgia glasses.
I love your videos, and the effort you put into those. And I aprreciate someone that admires games as the art they are, and offer such a deep analysis. When I discovered your channel I didn't watch anything else for weeks! Keep up the good work, I'll always watch it :)
This game is so awesome and scary! The original will always be near and dear to me but this is a new Capcom masterpiece 😎 The bar has definitely been lifted.
One of the best things in this remake is a Tyrant when he follows you around the entire police station and you can hear he's foot steps behind the wall. Awesome. I recommend Hardcore mode .
@@eddykaye8217 wait till you play the claire B scenario. I was also confused by all the hype the tyrant has on the internet, but once you play claire B you will understand. That guy's fckin relentless. Took a lot of screams from me and my brother lol
@@darthbane2669 The entire point of Mr X is that he is an unstoppable beast. Him going down so easily in the original didn't make a lot of sense and the fact that he stayed down for a long period of time made it worse.
Nenad Jovanovic The remake still great compared to the original. I don’t see why everyone is being so crabby when their only valid complaint is the sound in which you have to option to get the deluxe and get the original sound.
Nenad Jovanovic But the zombies are coming at you at a faster pace, wouldn’t you want to be able to quickly get your weapon before your killed? It’s more modernized, which is what is going to pull in a larger audience. They aren’t going to just pander to 30 year olds who most likely won’t even buy the game, they are still trying to make as much money as possible, while making an exceptional game.
I was only 13 when I beat claire's playthrough on ps1. I borrowed the cd from my cousin while he beat the leon storyline on a separate cd. Man, i can't believe that was 20 years ago.
EDIT: Just for the record , I love the original resident evil games with the old controls and cameras , they are still masterpieces in their own regard. The reason Capcom didn't remaster this game in the original fashion is because they would turn away newer people to the series who enjoyed 4-6 but they also wanted to stay true to the original (which they did) regardless of how it plays. This is easily the best Resident Evil game i've played since 4 , honestly the people who are bitching about the original controls and graphics will never get over themselves and nothing will please them.
I do miss some elements that made original so dreadful and cinematic, but I'm not complaining about them since remake of my first ever resident evil game I played is badass as it is. Doesn't affect the game, but would been a nice touch here and there, like simple camera pan of RPD when you first enter it like from original.
@@hayleylfc7506 You can do the swap with the deluxe edition, but the era of RE games has CAPCOM utilizing tension as a base for its soundtracks. That's why it is different, in any event, I am loving the game so far and the dark element it has added makes the game far more scary, especially the lickers.
Interesting how technical limitations created that distinct charm for them. Resident Evil 0 and 1 remakes still are in that style, so I can't complain. I think games should take new directions and approaches from time to time.
Actually its not they took so much away from the original that made it great and made sense of the story the remake doesn't do anything great but gameplay and mr x
@@Kiddo_williams the remake is just fine. As someone who played original re games milion times, i am more than happy with this remake. What have they done that you dont like compared to original?
This is a really cool comparison! I didn’t realize how old the original one was. But I think it’s better to fully know everything before making it to avoid mistakes (like the gun shop).
If u can play the original, is still a masterpiece in it's own right. The remake is a whole other game, not only they remake but add more gameplay in the game. I can't imagine RE3 remake is gonna be epic!
@@NoName-sv6iy You do can download a PSX emulator on your PC and connect a Joystick to it. Then download the Rom for the game an Voila! I know its cheeky since its technically pirating, but if that bothers you thr PS1s are like 20 dolars now. And the game is like 10. The thing is finding a store that still has them lol
I actually am just starting this game I just basically got past the intro and was instantly disappointed that there was differences . But now that you’ve explained this the changes are good . They are trying to keep the original re experience but also keep it fresh . I understand now . Lookin forward to this one and instead of Being dissatisfied that there are changes in the layouts or characters or even slight differences in the story I understand and appreciate them .
The gun shop is in both storylines and in Leon's story you go through it during the storymode so you can't miss it. It's where you go after you leave the parking garage with Ada and it's how you originally get to the sewers.
He should've probably beaten the game (atleast scenario A) before doing this video. It's inaccurate. 1. Leon's/Claire's original outfits are available after you beat the game (any difficulty, I just beat it on easy). 2. The Gun Shop is in this version, along w/ the bus you walk through in the city...they are just later in the game. 3. I've always seen leon's hair as brown. In 2, it was a bit red-brown. Blondes naturally do this over time. My hair was nearly white blonde when I was little and now it's more brown. 4. Some of the rooms are changed around, and some of the encounters are as well. Some of the doors are changed as well, being a barricaded gate now, or a locked door, or a door w/ a key required (I.E. the cop was in the 2nd door on the West in the original). You had to unlock the doors at the beginning w/ a keycard using the computer. Now it only shows video surveillance to get you to try to save branaugh's partner in the guard room. 5. Mr. X/Nemesis will follow you into most rooms (except a few and the save rooms I believe). He will track you down by sound through floors, rather than only in certain areas then permanently losing him. 6. You can keep doors locked to keep Mr. X from chasing you in certain areas. 7. A lot of the items are either completely different or repurposed (I.E Using C4 to blow open cell door for 3rd statue instead of a door that leads to Chief Iron's Office. 8. You don't have to divide up the expansion slots from the fanny packs you obtain throughout scenario A and B between Leon and Claire. YOu get a lot more space this version. 9. The order in which you obtain the keys, traverse locations and where they go are completely different in this version as well. YOu don't visit certain areas until near the middle or end of the game compared to the original where you visit them right away. 10. The original was just as scary back in 1998 as this game is today. You'd have to be old enough to remember :)
I feel you couldn't have covered this much better than you already have. The game in its entirety was absolutely fantastic and I feel that while keeping small hints and references to the original improved upon it in such amazing ways. RE:2 remake was honestly the first horror game since amnesia to really set an absolutely terrifying atmosphere while still telling an incredible story. They did a fantastic job keeping true to the resident evil style, and you an amazing job with explaining it to people who might need this comparison to make that final choice in buying the game. Good work!
Resident Evil 2 was my favorite of the series. This one is really cool and amazing, but I would have loved a remake:remastered edition like zero and the first one got. Even now.
Welther47 I agree man. I would love an upgrade graphics for resident evil two. The remake is great but I feel it was short and it didn’t stay in my head like the original
Nick930 I feel it was a good reference to the original, it also was the point when Leon was convinced to help get the g virus to save people like kendo’s daughter
@@dylanpaine8935 It's a trash fire of a scene with its forced weight and dynamic utterly wasted. In truth the entire redone story is weak as hell, and utterly reliant on prior knowledge of the actual entry to even comprehend the majority of its significance. Which to my eye is it's cardinal sin.
@@zachdelozier2133 As someone who has never played a resident Evil game before this one, I understood the story just fine. It doesn't at all rely on prior knowledge of the story for you to comprehend what's going on.
Back in the day, having played this game proved to the other kids in the school yard that you were tough AF because how scary the damn game is. Either you were playing this or Spyro - Crash Bandicoot. There was no in between.
Not gonna happen. Rockstar DOES NOT do remakes or remasters. What they produce stays in the past. If they did, you'd already have remakes of Max Payne 1 & 2, Manhunt 1 & 2, and GTA 1, 2 ,3 & San Andreas. Besides, Rockstar can't, the games are freaking huge, just look at how Square is taking it's time with FF7 Remake. It would takes Rockstar MANY YEARS to remake all of the older GTA games. The reason why Capcom can do remakes is because the games are freaking short... story wise.
@Death Enforcerer Rockstar haven't bothered giving 1 & 2 remastered releases. 1 & 2 need fan made HD mods for widescreen play. 3 does not need any, it's fine as it is.
@Death Enforcerer What rumours? GTA 6 will happen eventually, but with NEW characters and a NEW city location (previous ones probably making cameos). Just don't expect it anytime soon, because Rockstar takes longer and longer to produce new games. And again concerning it's older games, remake or remasters is not part of Rockstar's modus.
@Death Enforcerer That's a subjective issue. What's a great story for some, is kinda bad for others. GTA 5 wouldn't have netted Rockstar over $1 billion in sales and revenue if it's gameplay and story weren't halfway decent. Besides, they just scored another massive hit with Red Dead 2. I'm just wondering were they go next from there, since Rockstar is known for it's so secretive nature. Another Red Dead will have to feature new characters and new unrelated story, since Red Dead 2 was a prequel, while Red Dead 1 was set in 1915 (tail end of the old west). With all that massive revenues, it's a shame Rockstar can't spare some time to (at least) remaster some of their older games. Funny how Rockstar fanboys don't seem to take notice of that. Backwards console compatibility ain't the same as a remaster.
People who say original looks better and is better game are people wearing nostalgic glasses. The remake beats the original in every single way except music. Remake - better controls , much better graphics, much better voice acting, more gore, more scary( original is not at all scary if you play it today) , way better / scary atmosphere, no loading screens while in-game, more detailed/graphic, better sound design Original - better music
I don't think anybody argues that the original looks better, but rather that they prefer the original gamplay. I was definitely disappointed by this "remake". A remake takes the original game concept and improves graphics and sound, and maybe add some scenarios that didn't make it into the original due to certain issues. A remake is about the devs knowing exactly WHY the original is still played and loved. Capcom missed the mark here IMO. RE1 Remake took the classic original, and made it into perfection, so much that it made the original obsolete. This is a complete re-imagining. Not the game I was waiting for at all. I played the demo, and felt .... nothing. Will be playing the full game, but I'll be waiting for this to appear in the bargain bin at my used-games store. Until then I guess I will keep playing the original. It may look like shit, but at least it's the real Resisdent Evil 2 that sold around 5 million copies on release. I'm curious to know how many of this sold, and also if it's still gonna be talked about 20 years later.
It’s crazy what a couple years can really do. It all looks so real now days but yet I still remember having nightmares on the older games haha. I never actually played re2 so I really want to this time around, but I have to get my pc first before all that. I have a lot more fun on keyboard and mice than a controller for whatever reason.
@@joeblast8004 I meant to state it in a different way, as in how just a couple years is a huge growth not necessarily stating that Re2 was only a couple years ago.
@@chupaxf I think you are right about the camera angles, sometimes you couldn't see what was behind a corner or what enemies were nearby unless you move close enough. Also it make defend yourself a little bit trickier in some games, for the remakes they stick with the re4 control scheme.
Very interesting 🤔 WOW, this brings back so many memories! This was one of the all time classics and this remake looks good. I definitely want to try it
This game is a perfect example how a remake should be! Its amazing, its like a classic within a classic. I played the original re2 so much. And very much appreciate how they managed to keep it inresteting for past players. And mr x can be an annoyance from what you need to do. ill say, but it really adds to the experience. If you think that's bad, just imagine how a remake re 3 nemesis would be with nemesis running after you most the game ha. But thats for another time, currently enjoying this game and i could easily take this over the original just because it's done so right! Its like hitting home how i enjoyed the original oh so much.
Vontez It’s true, with the old camera they were able to pull off stuff like hiding lickers on the ceiling where you cant see them, and waiting for mr.x to come around the corner where he can easily surprise you, other stuff like walking around the corner to see what's around there works amazingly, you could never know what's behind a door or around the corner, something this new game sorta falls flat on it's face with
Kendos shop is in both character playthrough.
Is it really? Is it now off the beaten path or something? I didn't notice it at all
@@Nick930 Yes. I did Leon A today and I went through his shop :)

You literally can't miss kendos shop, the story forces you to go through it later on.
You gotta admit that the original's graphics were top notch for 1998.
The first time I played the og game I thought the graphics were really high Quality. That thought stuck with me for years until I decided to play it again and realized they weren't that great after all. But yeah, at that time was other level
Well, top-notch for consoles perhaps - I was a PC guy back then, and if you're playing Half-Life in 1024x768 on a high-res monitor, Playstation graphics look rather clunky to you.
@@DowncastParadox I had my first computer in 2004. Before that I played on NES so maybe I am indeed used to console graphics at that time. Tho many PC games released even after this game didn't look as good as this.

The jump in quality from 1 to 2 at the time was outstanding.
20 years from now, people will be like, these graphics are trash.
Obviously lol.
Lol we probably can be inside the game by then
I think resident evil 2 graphics are pretty good to be ps1 game, the first one is the one that aged poorly
I doubt it. Doom 3 on original Xbox is super old and still looks great. Resident evil 4 on gamecube still looks great.
I remember playing this on ps1 when walking to the next screen you could hear the disc inside the console loading the content.
They should add the original games with the remakes. Considering they generally aren't purchasable these days.
Yeah, and they're only like a couple of hundred MBs.
But they would need to emulate those games or remake them exactly how they were. Extra effort.
Itl be nice if they sharpen up the pixels though, i got the originals on pc through emulation and its upscaled to 1080p with minimal jaggs and blur, i prefer it that way, im suprised modern consoles dont do this

that wouldn't be necessary if they remade it right, like the first remake did

Something not enough people point out, is just how good the ambient sounds are in the remake. They already did an amazing job at this in RE7. Every environment is full of amazingly creepy background sounds of creaking and rummishing.
Yes! I have turtle beaches and it makes it even better! You never know if so.ething is there and the creepy noises always keep you on your toes! I think this game is truly awesome!
Word lol I jumped a few times in spaces where I knew no monsters lurked

Not worth making almost the whole game void of any BGM other than few key cutscenes and boss fights.

This remake is a masterpiece. When i was a kid i never played the RE games because zombies scared me as a concept. Playing them now would only make me laugh, yet i have bought this remake knowing this will be 100 times scarier now than the old one could be at its time. It just looks so good, i know it will provide me some good, tense, and scary moment.
A game like this 20 years ago would have sent me straight to therapy lol
This new one is scary in different ways than the originals. The technology makes it more immersive and frightening, but they've added a bunch of features that make it easier to progress through the game. A lot of the fear in the originals came from the punishing save system and backtracking. It was so much easier to get stuck and not know what to do. Granted, I was younger and dumber back then, but I love the way they made this new game more accessible. Re-Masterpiece indeed!
The only things they fucked up was the unnecessary exclusion of Ink Ribbons in normal mode, Moth, Crows, Naked Zombies, Evolved Lickers, Spiders and overly unnecessary modification of the original story. Let's be honest. this game is great, but it's not a masterpiece. This game has changed/deleted elements from the original more than it added. That's not even a Remake, it's a Reimagining. True Masterpiece is the Remake of the first RE.
@@david_contente I agree with u dude, RE (1) remake is a masterpiece, plus I don't think this one is scary, the real horror in the originals was that u, the player, were not able to change the angle of the camera, giving the scary feeling of not knowing what was going to be in the next corridor or room.
Since RE4 over the shoulder camera, RE lost its scary feeling, completely. So, this game is 100 times less scarier than the original.
@@virusjerry You can't make games like that any more. Not being able to see what is directly in front of you is a cheap way to create fear. No immersion in that for me. The new ones have to take a more realistic approach to how someone who can see stuff would be scared. It's mostly just jump scares in the new one, but the game gets me all the time when I got the headphones cranked.
@@virusjerry Someone can't take the nostalgia goggles off...
At least you were honest about not finishing the game... unlike ign lol

It's because Leon in PS1 is already on duty that's why he doesn't need to change anymore.
He mentioned that
He was too excited for his first day.
Actually, in the PS1 game he mentions it's his first day on the job. He doesn't mention whether he's on duty already or not, and given his reaction from seeing how things are at the station and in the city, you can assume he has yet to actually go on duty/clock in yet.
Personnel Status: Beginning Duty.
Time of Arrival: ...
Time of Departure: ...
Safe to say Leon never got paid for his work.
many PDs allow officer to dress up at home and even take their cruisers home like Miami Metro PD.
so he could already be dressed before going to work,
It's amazing that the remake looks way better than even the computer generated cutscenes of the original. I remember seeing those and imagining how crazy it would be if gameplay in Resident Evil looked that good some day.

Not much in terms of graphics, because we already hit the "looks like real life" mark. At most, small improvements will be made, but that's it.

The original RE2's soundtrack is so flawless that it's unbeatable when compared to the remake's soundtrack. However, the remake personally is a lot more scarier this time around. RE2's remake is by far the best most recent video game remake right now.

I NEVER saw Leon as redhead. He was always a brunette. I have never seen him as anything else. When I played RE2 in 1998, when I played RE4 in 2005ish, playing RE6 in 2012. I mean, maybe it was just my TV at the time, but I have never heard anyone I have talked with refer to him as a redhead. I have always seen him with brown hair. Sure, maybe VERY dark blonde, but never red. Anywho, doesn't really matter much I guess, but that just stopped me, lol.
emmsnake Leon is definitely a brunette.
Leon's hair has always been looked brown or dark blond.
Weirdly, my memory of him has always been blonde. Not red or brown. I don't know what's going on here.
Ditto. I always saw his hair as brown.
Same, I thought he was a brunette this whole time. I've played RE since the PS1 days.
P.S. Blondes can turn into brunettes/red-brown hair color.

As a life time hardcore fan of RE, I was sceptical when I first heard about the remake..The original three were and for me, still are some of the best games ever created..With that said, the RE2make was a perfect creation in every way..I was pleasantly surprised at how true to the original it was while also being able to argue it's is it's own game with so many subtle differences..So many in fact that it made a RE veteran like myself have to critically think and be genuinely scared for my life at times..This technically has surpassed the brilliance of the original but can also make a claim at surpassing the current level of video games..For me, this was the best PS4 game I have ever played and I only hope and pray that RE3 and maybe RE1 get this kind of treatment. Capcom, please remake the entire franchise in this image..Thank you..
The resident evil 2 remake is already 5 years old?
And even better than depicted here on the current gen consoles upgrade 👍👍
They did a great job
:0
@Aiden Macleod Then play the old game fucking puss!!
Which game? Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 2?
Huh.. Not on Leon...
Yes, but they took out so many parts. The second run now is almost identical to the first run. The originals were so much better.
Playing the original on the 64 that I love and playing the remake. To me, it's a perfect reflection. Things had to be changed to fit into a living present reality we live in today. We really got to experience and get to know Marvin and a lot more of his advice than the original. The reality of a darkened police station because of a zombie apocalypse happening that really takes a toll on the station. The gore of the zombies and the detail put into them, really embracing how bodies begin to fall apart while they decay. The reality of the sewers and the disgusting remains growing throughout it because of the virus.....even the new creatures roaming around the sewers get my love. The alligator sequence, although I would have loved to shoot it, it sticks to this reality...something that huge will not be affected by small handgun or shotgun bullets....I loved it.
The fights with the different forms of William Birkin were all there....with small changes...it still holds true to the original. What really made me shiver in fear is that Mr. X AKA Tyrant never stops following you until it kills you. I loved it all. Resident Evil 2 will always be one of my all time favorite games from the past....and now the remake being such a perfect and improved reflection of the original is on that list as well. ❤❤
Absolutely cannot wait if Resident Evil 3 gets a remake. ❤❤
Those old zombie growls will always be iconic though.
Salad Father agreed.. i still remember the zombie growls from the original RE2 and have been blurting them out throughout the years lol.
these new ones continue to keep me shook. Even in certain locations i think they have specific new audio clips just to make sure you dont ever get comfortable to them.
Yeah the noises of nutting.
Resident evil 1: Oouhhhhh!!!
Resident evil 2: Arrrghhhh!!!
Resident evil 3: Muuuhhhh!!!
Iconic, not good though. Or at least not better than those of the remake. I have to assume that people who say or think the original ones are better, have some seriously thick nostalgia glasses.

@Shawn Kemp Did you just gatekeep resident evil 2?
Nenad Jovanovic The remake still great compared to the original. I don’t see why everyone is being so crabby when their only valid complaint is the sound in which you have to option to get the deluxe and get the original sound.
Just to clarify I love the remake. I've done 8 playthroughs and got the platinum trophy. I just miss the bullet casing going ding.
Nenad Jovanovic But the zombies are coming at you at a faster pace, wouldn’t you want to be able to quickly get your weapon before your killed? It’s more modernized, which is what is going to pull in a larger audience. They aren’t going to just pander to 30 year olds who most likely won’t even buy the game, they are still trying to make as much money as possible, while making an exceptional game.
Resident Evil 2 was so good theyx made Resident Evil 2 2
I absolutely love this! Great job Capcom! Great video my man!
I was only 13 when I beat claire's playthrough on ps1. I borrowed the cd from my cousin while he beat the leon storyline on a separate cd. Man, i can't believe that was 20 years ago.
EDIT: Just for the record , I love the original resident evil games with the old controls and cameras , they are still masterpieces in their own regard.
The reason Capcom didn't remaster this game in the original fashion is because they would turn away newer people to the series who enjoyed 4-6 but they also wanted to stay true to the original (which they did) regardless of how it plays.
This is easily the best Resident Evil game i've played since 4 , honestly the people who are bitching about the original controls and graphics will never get over themselves and nothing will please them.
I do miss some elements that made original so dreadful and cinematic, but I'm not complaining about them since remake of my first ever resident evil game I played is badass as it is. Doesn't affect the game, but would been a nice touch here and there, like simple camera pan of RPD when you first enter it like from original.
The only thing I miss is the music but the re make is amazing
@@hayleylfc7506 you can get the OG soundtrack tho
@@hayleylfc7506 You can do the swap with the deluxe edition, but the era of RE games has CAPCOM utilizing tension as a base for its soundtracks. That's why it is different, in any event, I am loving the game so far and the dark element it has added makes the game far more scary, especially the lickers.
Interesting how technical limitations created that distinct charm for them. Resident Evil 0 and 1 remakes still are in that style, so I can't complain. I think games should take new directions and approaches from time to time.
One of the greatest remakes done to a classic! Now I am hoping they remake Resident Evil 3 with the same touch!

Lookin forward to this one and instead of Being dissatisfied that there are changes in the layouts or characters or even slight differences in the story I understand and appreciate them .
The gun shop is in both storylines and in Leon's story you go through it during the storymode so you can't miss it. It's where you go after you leave the parking garage with Ada and it's how you originally get to the sewers.

I can no longer unhear it...
I can't unhear that now xD
Thanks for ruining the video for me; now I can't stop laughing 😂
But... the gun shop is in Leon’s storyline.
he did't went that far yet
He should've probably beaten the game (atleast scenario A) before doing this video. It's inaccurate.
1. Leon's/Claire's original outfits are available after you beat the game (any difficulty, I just beat it on easy).
2. The Gun Shop is in this version, along w/ the bus you walk through in the city...they are just later in the game.
3. I've always seen leon's hair as brown. In 2, it was a bit red-brown. Blondes naturally do this over time. My hair was nearly white blonde when I was little and now it's more brown.
4. Some of the rooms are changed around, and some of the encounters are as well. Some of the doors are changed as well, being a barricaded gate now, or a locked door, or a door w/ a key required (I.E. the cop was in the 2nd door on the West in the original). You had to unlock the doors at the beginning w/ a keycard using the computer. Now it only shows video surveillance to get you to try to save branaugh's partner in the guard room.
5. Mr. X/Nemesis will follow you into most rooms (except a few and the save rooms I believe). He will track you down by sound through floors, rather than only in certain areas then permanently losing him.
6. You can keep doors locked to keep Mr. X from chasing you in certain areas.
7. A lot of the items are either completely different or repurposed (I.E Using C4 to blow open cell door for 3rd statue instead of a door that leads to Chief Iron's Office.
8. You don't have to divide up the expansion slots from the fanny packs you obtain throughout scenario A and B between Leon and Claire. YOu get a lot more space this version.
9. The order in which you obtain the keys, traverse locations and where they go are completely different in this version as well. YOu don't visit certain areas until near the middle or end of the game compared to the original where you visit them right away.
10. The original was just as scary back in 1998 as this game is today. You'd have to be old enough to remember :)
gozinta82 Mr. X is not Nemesis. Nemesis is a different Tyrant.
@@gozinta82 You claim these are inaccurate but you mention stuff he didnt even cover
Gozinta82 agreed completely, he should have beaten the game first with all 4 scenarios before making this video.
I feel you couldn't have covered this much better than you already have. The game in its entirety was absolutely fantastic and I feel that while keeping small hints and references to the original improved upon it in such amazing ways. RE:2 remake was honestly the first horror game since amnesia to really set an absolutely terrifying atmosphere while still telling an incredible story. They did a fantastic job keeping true to the resident evil style, and you an amazing job with explaining it to people who might need this comparison to make that final choice in buying the game. Good work!

@Death Enforcerer Yes, Sir
Not gonna happen. Rockstar DOES NOT do remakes or remasters. What they produce stays in the past. If they did, you'd already have remakes of Max Payne 1 & 2, Manhunt 1 & 2, and GTA 1, 2 ,3 & San Andreas. Besides, Rockstar can't, the games are freaking huge, just look at how Square is taking it's time with FF7 Remake. It would takes Rockstar MANY YEARS to remake all of the older GTA games. The reason why Capcom can do remakes is because the games are freaking short... story wise.
@Death Enforcerer Rockstar haven't bothered giving 1 & 2 remastered releases. 1 & 2 need fan made HD mods for widescreen play. 3 does not need any, it's fine as it is.
@Death Enforcerer What rumours? GTA 6 will happen eventually, but with NEW characters and a NEW city location (previous ones probably making cameos). Just don't expect it anytime soon, because Rockstar takes longer and longer to produce new games. And again concerning it's older games, remake or remasters is not part of Rockstar's modus.
@Death Enforcerer That's a subjective issue. What's a great story for some, is kinda bad for others. GTA 5 wouldn't have netted Rockstar over $1 billion in sales and revenue if it's gameplay and story weren't halfway decent. Besides, they just scored another massive hit with Red Dead 2. I'm just wondering were they go next from there, since Rockstar is known for it's so secretive nature. Another Red Dead will have to feature new characters and new unrelated story, since Red Dead 2 was a prequel, while Red Dead 1 was set in 1915 (tail end of the old west). With all that massive revenues, it's a shame Rockstar can't spare some time to (at least) remaster some of their older games. Funny how Rockstar fanboys don't seem to take notice of that. Backwards console compatibility ain't the same as a remaster.
You’re such a G for putting this video out!
I would love to see an update where you can use fixed cameras and other old mechanics (maybe overhauled) in the new engine
People who say original looks better and is better game are people wearing nostalgic glasses. The remake beats the original in every single way except music.
Remake - better controls , much better graphics, much better voice acting, more gore, more scary( original is not at all scary if you play it today) , way better / scary atmosphere, no loading screens while in-game, more detailed/graphic, better sound design
Original - better music
Not to mention you can turn the original music on I believe
man you're right, after i finish the game then play the 2nd run with classic music it feels more good and more scary
I don't think anybody argues that the original looks better, but rather that they prefer the original gamplay.
I was definitely disappointed by this "remake". A remake takes the original game concept and improves graphics and sound, and maybe add some scenarios that didn't make it into the original due to certain issues. A remake is about the devs knowing exactly WHY the original is still played and loved. Capcom missed the mark here IMO. RE1 Remake took the classic original, and made it into perfection, so much that it made the original obsolete. This is a complete re-imagining. Not the game I was waiting for at all. I played the demo, and felt .... nothing. Will be playing the full game, but I'll be waiting for this to appear in the bargain bin at my used-games store. Until then I guess I will keep playing the original. It may look like shit, but at least it's the real Resisdent Evil 2 that sold around 5 million copies on release. I'm curious to know how many of this sold, and also if it's still gonna be talked about 20 years later.
But guess what? There's an option to turn the original soundtrack and SFX on. Though I got the deluxe edition, so it might be DLC outside of that.
different scenes new puzzles unnecesary...
It’s crazy what a couple years can really do. It all looks so real now days but yet I still remember having nightmares on the older games haha. I never actually played re2 so I really want to this time around, but I have to get my pc first before all that. I have a lot more fun on keyboard and mice than a controller for whatever reason.
Tamed Delirium
Couple years? This is a generational difference.
it's been way more than a couple 21 yrs ago the original came out that's along time ago.
@@joeblast8004 yeah way more than a couple yrs it's been 21 yrs ago since the original came out.
@@ernestohernandez9370 lol yes I'm aware its been a long time I just stated it in a wrong way, my apologies
@@joeblast8004 I meant to state it in a different way, as in how just a couple years is a huge growth not necessarily stating that Re2 was only a couple years ago.
I love 1998 RE2 background music so much! EPIC! miss so much..
You can play the OG music during the remake as well..ah hell you most likely know that already now, lol
Resident evil 2 remake Leon Scott Kennedy is simply gorgeous. 😍❤️
Thasts what a remake should look like !!! More of this .RE1,RE3,DINO CRISIS 1,2 .....
Slazem se!
Hell yeah and Parasite Eve as well. :)
Silent hill is a must for me
Dino crisis!!! I’m there dude!
Also wouldn’t mind turok 1-3 remade too
@@WolfRattlehead NO GOD PLEASE NO
3rd person Parasite Eve is outrageous
Rockstar should do the same with Gta san andreas and Gta vice city
Time to start a new era of remaking instead of making new
Migo Abu at least that way we cant be disappointed. Way safer bet tbh 😂
Migo Abu well hell Disney is doing it, why not? Lol
@@migoabu3928 it seems so, new stuff is shit, mostly
@@ToDie4r yea i agree
I don't know why but the original game is much more scary, with the exception of Mr. X on the remake.
I think the same actually. Also i felt the remake pretty short. That's my opinion anyway.
@@chupaxf I think you are right about the camera angles, sometimes you couldn't see what was behind a corner or what enemies were nearby unless you move close enough. Also it make defend yourself a little bit trickier in some games, for the remakes they stick with the re4 control scheme.
@@chupaxf you are absolutely right and at that time we were much younger and that feel and hype has been lost forever ! 😢
@@user-oh5jj9ci8q it was very short, the whole ada level with that hacking device..terrible lol
@@stevenpierre6981 re 3 remake is more terrible
Very interesting 🤔 WOW, this brings back so many memories! This was one of the all time classics and this remake looks good. I definitely want to try it
I don’t see a difference
@jasnoor singh he's just joking sense basically it's the same games but as a remake
U blind son.
Nice joke
The Remake pulled a DOOM 3
Average Jo3 I mean their are some small changes but nearly nothing.
This game is a perfect example how a remake should be! Its amazing, its like a classic within a classic. I played the original re2 so much. And very much appreciate how they managed to keep it inresteting for past players. And mr x can be an annoyance from what you need to do. ill say, but it really adds to the experience. If you think that's bad, just imagine how a remake re 3 nemesis would be with nemesis running after you most the game ha. But thats for another time, currently enjoying this game and i could easily take this over the original just because it's done so right! Its like hitting home how i enjoyed the original oh so much.
I cant say a remake, but more of a re imagining
@@rdu239 Those two are pretty much the same thing in context dude.
I agree with you
if they fucking made 3 like they did two id buy it but Nemsis is a pain in the ass in the original i hated him
Bah - I need nemesis to storm the save rooms for re3. I want complete terror and real time inventory selection
Is there an option to change the camera angle? The over the shoulder pov kills the atmosphere for me.
The original is still scarier lol 😱
No it's not.
Vontez It’s true, with the old camera they were able to pull off stuff like hiding lickers on the ceiling where you cant see them, and waiting for mr.x to come around the corner where he can easily surprise you, other stuff like walking around the corner to see what's around there works amazingly, you could never know what's behind a door or around the corner, something this new game sorta falls flat on it's face with
Maybe, maybe not.
Original is a classic. Remake is just a remake
E M
It's not "just" a remake, it's almost a brand new game with the same story
