yet i think they only should make mrx final boss in 2nd scenario or even put him only in 2nd scenario but make him appear more like in Claire scenario u can only meet mr x at heli wreckage and at room where u pick tool to move library shelves and parking lot and fighting super tyrant after fighting G Birkin in his prime is kinda weird imagine that in re3 u fought grave digger after destroying final nemesis boss
I sort of disagree but understand what you mean. As he acts more of a pursuer in 2 and nemi acts like a beefy goofball (remake). But nemi was specificity made/trained/programed to hunt down STARS members and is nicknamed the pursuer because he technically stalks you all game. At least trash bag suit nemi does and attacks when he sees he may have an advantage. But nemi is FAR smarter than Mr.X, x stays inside the station because he knows the player (a survivor) is alive in there and he was sent before the bomb announcement and after neni to basically clean up anyone who may be surviving. You also have to remember that when the virus leak occured and that umbrella facility fell they used those monsters as field test material.
@@hubertgizinski7962 I totally think x should have been more in leon scenario, either a or b, I think G birkin is very fitting for claire run considering she cares about sherry birkin so much and runs into anette in a much more believable canon way for claire. Thats just me tho, I dont think leon being shot added much to the story especially in remake.
@@davidbrewer4417 i think Leon getting shot and patched up by Ada is for that"Now we are even"stuff And how Ada found way to pass around aligator area??
Resident evil 3 remake was terrible they changed so much! They didn’t have the clock tower and they had carlos going into the RPD even tho he never went there. This should have been a resident evil 3 reimagined not a remake… I have so much to say about RE 3 remake but. If you play the original RE 3 and the remake then you will see
Yea but the original is better in every way the replay value is better compare to the “remake” plus it also has a shit load of mods that fans made over the years
@@Jack.Martson the original is unplayable thanks to its janky ass controls. You can't get in that game because every two seconds you're reminded you're in a game because your fighting your controller.
Carlos was the best update of the RE3 remake. He was a real character unlike the Latino casanova stereotype he was in the original. They also made him more involved with Jill and expanded his gameplay section.
I think what I hate most about REmake 3 is what they did to Jill and Nemesis. Jill used to be a soft, cute and empathetic go getter who could still kick your ass if she had to, but now she's just a one dimensional take no shit tough girl and Nemesis used to be a terrifying threat that you dreaded around every corner, now he's just a joke, literally every character in the game that takes him on treats him like nothing, to Jill he's a "creepy ass stalker" to Carlos he's a "fuckface" and to Mikhail, he's a "shitbird". I'm actually worried about how they're gonna treat the characters in REmake 4.
True I think Jill's character could have been better but I actually thought the gameplay was addictive. I enjoyed the actual game more than RE2, although RE2 was much more tense and survival horror based. I loved Carlos though, and the two Russian guys, really good characters. I did warm up to Jill when she rolled back through the gate to buy them time. I thought that was when she kind of walked the walk instead of just talk the talk.
Absolutely agree. I don't like Jill's personality in R3make. I love every other Jill that came before this new version though. It doesn't help that I can't think of this Jill as the same one that survived the mansion in REmake or got saved by Chris in RE5. There's this huge disconnect that shouldn't be there in the first place. Same with Claire in a way (REV2 and REmake/REimagining 2). Makes me dread to know how they're going to change characters in 4 REmake.
I didn’t mind Jill in it but I am worried the overall negative reaction to her portrayal will just give Capcom more of an excuse to further diminish her role in the series. Really tired of everything revolving around Chris and Leon.
The 3 biggest problems with RE 2 & 3 Remakes are: 1. the subtraction of contents, instead of a bigger richer new contents, making it simply a much shorter game experiences. 2. Replayability is not effective enough. 3. Adding wasted games/modes riding on trends, such as REsistance & RE: Verse. Both are basically dead games & wasted budgets because the half aseing the development & supports.
Non of asked for Resistance either. I play online about once a year cus got bugger all friends n it costs money to play online now so WTF Capcom? Filling our hard drives up with shit we didn't ask for. Where the fucknis the rest of RE3, those 15 or so missing streets and other locations. Oooohhh, ye couldne be arsed. Riight.
Agreed, you want to do a decent remake take the original content and improve on it and add more, like the OG remake, don't take shit out, swap things around, cut corners, add things nobody asked for or "reimagine" the entire game. I know some people really love RE2 remake but it failed to live up to it should have been, I won't even play Re3 after what Capcom did to it.
I like how they incorporated some of the stuff from RE1.5 ( scrapped RE2 version) into the RE2 remake. But I was hoping the remakes were more like the RE1 remake (visually) would of loved to see the RPD halls like the mansion halls and rooms. If that makes sense.
Says a person who never played the OGs and don't understand the series. Plus in this video he literally explains to you why the remakes are kind of meh overall
RE2 is amazing but the RE3 remake deserves the hate. It's a great game, but not a great remake when they cut off SO MUCH CONTENT from the original game
@@tjhicks3600 Ok, I’ve played all of them. I understand the hate for 3, I mean I did like it and played through it at least 5-6 times. But I can still see why ppl don’t like it. Way too much cut content. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad game though, as the creator of this video stated. I DO however, disagree with the viewpoint on 2. The only flaw in it was how they went about the B scenario, but the A scenario made up for it by being better than the originals A scenario…. At least in my opinion. And yea RE2Make is much scarier than the original…. Because of the lighting and how aggressive the zombies are in it. You could cheese everything so easily in the original, it’s much harder to cheese the enemies in RE2Make, and Mr X was much more intense in the remake as well.
9:28 RC: “I do think the games obviously have better cutscenes…” RE3 Remake Opening: *shows generic live-action riot footage instead of an actual battle between zombies and police*
@@ravenlover7924 I did not get any notification that you did. I also looked around at a few of our previous comment threads and did not see anything new. Where would you like me to look?
The biggest issue is that it feels like ALL the love went into the RPD...and the one city section of RE3. After that they devolve into circular loops basically.
This exactly. It's a problem the original game had as well, but it's much worse in the remake. I dread the sewers and the lab so much after the first part of the RPD is complete lol
I think an important detail was missed, the fact that 2 & 3 were developed at basically the same, which is why 3make released only a year later. There was basically no opportunity to learn from launch of the previous game and it only magnified the flaws they both shared. RE2make felt like a better game than it was at the time because it felt like Capcom had forward momentum only to squander it. 3make was a fun game, but a little more attention could've made it the best.
One was developed and another was developed as DLC. RE3 was so short they added on the multiplayer to justify the absurd $60 price tag. Thus we have the wasted entry that could have been a home run.
Hands down to this day Resident Evil 1 remake is the best example of a remake, the 2019 version of Resident Evil 2 and then Resident Evil 3 I don't really see those as remakes I see them as re-imaginings. And I also agree that with Resident Evil 2 2019 A scenario is the only one you play because be was so lackluster. Resident Evil 3 is my favorite out of the original trilogy and I did not like how the new game turned out so I don't know how I feel about the Resident Evil 4 remake..
You can't say that tbh. Re1 remake was also a reinvisioning. Re1 remake isn't the same game as the original not even close just as nor 2 or 3 are. 3 sucks always has, 2 was good and re1 make is the best but they are ALL reimagined re1 remake is not a remake either
A remake is literally the remaking of the exact content previously made and not a single remake out there does this so remake isn't even a relevant name because they are all reinvisioned games of their previous made game and are able to do more with the newer tech available today so there isn't honestly a true remake out there. Every single one has been changed in multiple ways meaning it cannot be called a remake
2 remake literally embodies what I’d imagine a over the shoulder view of raccoon city to be …atleast the police department, you can’t tell me you weren’t shitting your pants at some point during the first run through the station…if you were playing at night(which you should have btw or like your a bitch? Lol), it was beautiful it made me feel like this is exactly what resident evil is, but it didn’t carry that throughout consistently, the re1 remake did that though for me in terms of atmosphere and monsters so that’s why it’s above that one only and yes that includes it being fixed camera angles and all it worked for me…And I’d hope *fingers crossed* that we can get a remake over the shoulder style re1 for next gen and pc that would be fucking amazing IMO of course if they did it right this time and not leave ANYTHING OUT
I loved both games. 3 was short and didn’t hit like the original but it was still enjoyable for me. I would love for them to remaster/rerelease the originals with trophies/achievements for current consoles. When they brought them back on PS3 I snatched them up quick and had been the main way for me to play them until I bought them on GameCube. Can’t wait for the upgrades later this year. You do make a point on remake and reimagines.
@@denniskrages4511 I made the same comment in a different video. Where a remake should include the original games. I’m sure they don’t take up much data and imagine having trophy support and higher resolution textures. Basically remastering sort of.
I agree - 3 had some big issues in terms of it being a remake, like the main one was that nemesis BARELY chased you, really Mr X in 2 was way more like nemesis than nemesis was, and IMO the city area should have been bigger, BUT despite those flaws it was still a very fun game. The RE engine is really awesome and I really enjoy every game that has used it, but I really prefer 3rd person over FPS so I like RE2 and 3 remakes significantly more than RE 7 and 8. I really hope they remake 4, Code Veronica, and even 0 using the RE engine.
You know what bugs me is when people look back at horror games they fail to remember one thing. It was years ago meaning you were alot younger meaning it was easier to scare you. People go on and on about how games and movies aren't as scary anymore, its not that there not scary it's the fact you are adults now! Its alot harder to scared an adult, ever see a horror movie that genuinely scared you as a kid as an adult, it makes you laugh noticing something that stupid scared the shit out you
I agree with you, it’s definitely a factor. Also exposure to a lot of different horror games can make you less sensitive to them. I used to be very afraid of playing dead space and RE4 when I was a kid. Nowadays I could play outlast and RE7 in a dark room.
You hit the nail right on the head. The games for those times were scary and just like you things age and lose their scare factor and the “special effects” aren’t so “special” anymore lol
You know what bugs me even more? When RE 7 was released it was scary then when RE 8 released they toned down the scares because people said they were "too scared" from RE 7 I swear there's an article somewhere that the developers actually said that, it sucks when a game holds back on the scares as well
@@michaelbennett741 RE fans are hard to please dude lmao they gave us a scary survival horror and fans said it was too scary, they then gave us RE8 with a mix or horror and action (like a modern re4) and they still cried because it wasnt as scary lmao i swear dude
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 nah 2 was fun, yes, it didn't capture the magic that the original one had but it was still a really good remake and game in my opinion, the only biggest flaw was the b scenario. 3 was ass
unpopular opinion, but REmake would've been so much better if they tied both scenarios together like OG RE2, making a definitive cohesive story to the canon, and that's the major reason why it's not a perfect remake in my eyes
That is the one area I can agree with on complaints about RE2 Remake. The 2nd playthrough, or B Scenario, is SOOOOO the same as the 1st, or A. I played through Claires to get the trophy and outside of the Item changes and puzzle combinations in the RPD there where zero changes from what I saw.
exactly my thoughts! i wish there's a little more of varieties in the enemies and guns to find too. like a double barrel shotgun by example which would trigger the "sandwich" trap before getting a pump one, and new terrifying bosses or enemies like zombified cougars or grizzlies ... crazy how capcom always waste his potential
I have 5 problems with RE2 remake alone: 1-The new "A/B scenarios" being too similar to each other, even when compared to the original ones. 2-The best cinematic (in my opinion) of the original RE2 game was cut in 3 parts, including two missable VHS tapes. I'm talking about Birkin injecting himself with the G virus and slaughtering the USS team led by Hunk. 3-The game was censored in a annoying way, no explosion of body parts when you use the rocket launcher (just flying mostly INTACT burnt bodies). 4-Too much things from the original game were removed/modified in a not so good way. 5-Capcom lied about the difficulty of the remake supposed to adapt to our gameplay.
You just nit-picking! Lol Trying to find reasons to dislike about it. They changed alot things that actually helped. The gameplay was waaaay more improved. They made a original story almost. Capcom changed alot scenes to create a different experience. It helped alot for newer gamers. But, I've played the original game. The OG will always be the best. But, the Remake Definitely improved some of the outdated gameplay, dialogs and character's. Alot of the characters had zero development back then. Having this new game improving all of that! Gave us a new game Almost
Resident Evil 2 (2019) didn’t enhance Original by cutting content from Original. Resident Evil 3 (2020) didn’t enhance Original by cutting content from Original.
1. The remake was never meant to have any 1st/2nd scenarios, but rather was a change done at the last minute in order to add a bit more replayability. Most people that worked for the game were even surprised by this sudden unexpected change as well since the game was supposed to have a similar narrative that RE1 followed for its plot. 2. Pretty much as a result to #1's response. 3. The game is already gory as is. This is just a matter of nitpicking. 4. Remakes don't have to be the exact same as the originals or become follow-up changes that stick with the same outdated controls/gameplay. It was mostly marketed as a reimagining anyway. Plus, its cut content wasn't half as bad as RE3 Remake's case. 5. Actually, they didn't. The dynamic difficulty mechanic adjusts based on a combined ranking with the amount of damage you take, how bad or good your accuracy is, and the amount of enemies you kill along the way, along with many other factors iirc. It's much easier to track if you own the PC version of the game and use the ultimate trainer that can measure how the dynamic difficulty adjusts to your gameplay. While it does have its own flaws, it is still overall a great game. Same with RE3 Remake, though that game went through twice the amount of cut content than RE2 Remake, making the game unnecessarily much shorter than it needed to be.
Can't wait to get to RE2 remake myself.... Such an interesting topic with different ways to look at it. Great video. Edit: some misunderstood. I have played RE2 remake. Since it came out I've played it. What I meant by "getting to it" was making a video about it for my channel.
Hey, SH Downpour had amazing ideas (the sidequests where cool, a semi open world version of the town was really cool, the idea of a convict experiencing the town) it's just had some poor execution for the main story, and I feel with a remake of that game with the same developers who with learning from their mistakes could bring Downpour closer if not exactly to it's true potential
I actually stopped playing RE4 in the beginning at the village. I had no idea how to kill that many enemies, didn't know about breaking crates or barrels for ammo, scared out of my mind because these people were all bullet sponges. Insane experience! I didnt play again until years later when I did a full RE series playthrough. Loved the game ever since.
I've heard from other videos and posts and even the devs themselves calling these 2 games as "re imaginings" but then, others say remake. Which I think, plays a huge role in how we view these games and how they hold up to the OGs. I find myself more so leaning into re imaginings the more I read up on this topic instead of remakes. If their decision was a re imagining, than I'd say they did a good job (i guess?), if they were trying to go with remakes, than they failed where re1 remake succeeded. I think the main issue is, they're trying to get away with doing both options and that's why reviews are so varied, even divided. Re1 remake added, expanded and explained from the OG. The new re2 and re3 didn't do all three, maybe cleared up a few inconsistencies and new game design. But not much else. Sorry, bad at explaining.
You’re right that they’re reimagining, but when Capcom announced Resident Evil 2 it said remake on the screen. So later they had to say it was reimagining after fans reaction. I think it’s what makes us people confused.
That was a good explanation, don't worry about it! What I like to think in regards to the whole 'remake or re-imagine' conversation is that it should be what the viewer decides for themselves what they think it is. I like to think of it as a remake myself, while others can think it's a re-imagine. It's dumb that people fight about it, we should just decide for our own what we want them to be.
@@gunnars367 Well problem is how people view the Terms, Remaster and Remake. Id qualify a Remaster as having about 70-90% of the OG version with updated visuals and mechancis and 10-30% new or different stuff, new arears, areas reworked, etc. ReMAKES on the other hand have only at most 50-60% of the OG material and the rest is pretty much brand new. So by that qualifier RE1 for Gamecube is a Remaster, since its only about 10-15% off the OG version. Even RE2 is a Remaster in that regard, as Id say its between 70-80% the OG. Now RE3 yes WOULD classify as a Remake because other than a few pieces and plot points most of the locations have been severally changed/altered. Now a Reimagining IMO is taking a concept and putting it in a ENTIRELY different setting. Example would be Ken Levine taking the ideas from System Shock 2 and instead of being on a space station putting it in a 1960s city thats on the bottom of the Ocean, aka Bioshock. AKA a Re imaginning is a Elseworlds version of a IP. Like Id consider RE7-8 Reimaginings of the players and way things work in the RE universe. Yes I know its a supposed continuation, both numbering and supposed to continue from 6s story. But it is SOOOO far from other REs that I see it as a Elseworld version.
@@memnarch129 uh no? REmake 1 was a full on remake. It was called a REmake for like 15 years, not a remaster. A remaster is something like Resident Evil Code Veronica Remastered on PS3 or PS4. A REimagining is the shit games we got in 2019 and 2020 falsely and pretentiously advertising itself as a remake. Get it right.
Unpopular opinion here. What I don’t understand is that you cant make a game feel exactly the same unless you make it EXACTLY the same. Yet people will complain if it is too similar and then complain if it is too different. Too many little aspects of a game add up to where people start saying everything about the old games is iconic and cant do without it in a remake. If that isn’t nostalgia then idk what is. I came from playing the classic trilogy and I much prefer the newer remakes. The remakes have an identity of their own while still being familiar, which is what a good remake should be.
RE2 remake had the potential to be another RE1 remake, but it missed in: 1. The soundtrack: they had this whole "modern = quiet" mentality that didn't work. RE was always a music heavy franchise to fill in the silent gaps. 2. The incoherent timeline: forget about leaving an item for the other scenario to pick up. You fight Birkin G3 on all 4 scenarios, Mr. X is killed by Birkin on both Claire paths but we still see him with Leon, Annette is always present at the G3 fight. 3. Cut content: making the alligator a qte was a terrible idea. Most sections weren't expanded, they were streamlined
@@meiyami93 Remake intels redoing things meaning that things aren't going to be exactly like the original. Remastered would be like RE1 HD Remastered where it kept everything original but enhanced the graphics and had a few bug fixes. Other then that I don't think any of these people here understand the difference between the two. Anyways gunna get back to playing RE 1.5
1. Original had better music for sure, a lot of older games do 2. In the original it only applies to the sub machine gun and item pouch, and the windows in the East and west hallways, wouldn’t exactly call it fleshed out either. The first 3 Birkin fights are definitely done better in the original but it wasn’t that bad. 3. The alligator fight was pretty dumb in the original too, it was actually easier in the original since it was made quite obvious to use the canister to kill it. And I disagree, you have plenty of opportunity to backtrack in this game just as much as the original, hell when you’re in the sewer you can go all the way back to the police station for a few optional upgrades.
You make a good point ! Remake and Reboot are completely different. Those ones are more reboot than actual remake. I enjoyed them yeah, but they lack a lot of things cut from the originals... :(
In an alternate reality, We got a really good re3 remake, and then Capcom announced RE outbreak remake, with large sections of the city, hard as nails inventory management and all the campaigns and characters. Capcom did the remake3 dirty, and threw away a good oportunity of a re outbreak remake away with that REsistance. Sadge.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 Take a look on the options, soundtrack part. The game is actually a Remake. 3 was bad, but 2 was good man. Even though It had cut content. If I want to play fixed camera and play all the content, I'd rather play the Original game on an emulator.
A great example of a unjustified story change is making Chad Alpha Leon from the original (and the Darkside Chronicles retelling) a beta male loser in the Remake.
@@NicerNine you mean the alpha male that was a total Simp when it came to Ada and Claire?? “Why doesn’t anyone listen to me!??” That’s sounds like something a lame would say if you ask me…
What boss fight did they cut? You still fight G-1 all the way thru to G-5, and the tyrant, and even the sewer monsters. The only one is the moth who was optional and something I never bothered doing in the original. They didn’t change the main storyline at all unless you mainly played Leon/A Claire/B in the original, they cut out spiders and crows who weren’t all that essential in the original (were talking 50 seconds of playtime for both) and the plant monsters were made into an actual threat and not just something to run around. They cut out environments that were in the original game for maybe 5 minutes and instead expanded on environments like the sewer and lab, and added a couple new environments like the orphanage. and no the city doesn’t count because it’s technically still in the game.
@@Weapon-EX6018 in the remake he gets saved by Ada twice before he ever saves her and he follows her lead the whole time but in the original he saves her three times before she ever saves him and he takes the lead the whole time. Also that cringe kiss scene in the trashmake where she tells him to get the virus but won't tell him why and he's just like "I get it, it's classified, sorry for asking" 😂. In the original he did complain that nobody listened to him but in the end he was the one who saved everybody, Claire, Ada, and Sherry but in the Remake he barley saved Claire, basically didn't save Sherry, and Ada he saved her but she saved him first.
I couldn’t agree more about day/night not affecting how scary it is. Can’t wait to see what you have to say about the magic the original games had and of capcom can recreate all those moments
RE2 remake is a gold standard for remakes, imo. It improved upon every aspect of the original game while leaving the heart and soul intact. RE and RE2 were simply amazing games when they came out. The re-imagined 3 isn't as good because the original 3 just wasn't as good as the first two games. I have no idea why people so love RE4 though. I played it after playing the 2&3 remakes and it's truly when RE moves towards action and gets caught up in the world of QTEs. It's still a good game but it's a turning point in the series and 5 is a logical next game after that as is 6 which is the biggest mess of the franchise. The current games (RE7 and R8 - Village) are in many ways love letters to RE2 and RE4 and I'd take Village (which very much bows to 4) over the original RE4 any day of the week. It's just better and far more cohesive than 4 ever was in everything from story to gameplay to scares.
It is essentially about nostalgia. The first RE game I played was RE7 and absolutely loved it so went on to play the remakes which I also loved, except the original remake. I found the fixed cameras and tank controls simply unplayable, and gave up after about an hour or so. People that played the originals first will say they prefer them, however, people that play the remakes first will not like the originals because of the graphics and controls.
Well my experience is different. I never played the originals so i started with 1 Remake. Loved it. The camera angles are unique and make you feel in danger. It feels like a different game han the rest, a new experience thanks to camera angles, i'm not excited to play Re2 Remake after playing so many third person shooters, i could play the original but in low res. The "Tank Controls" actually aren't bad lol, you have to use the classic layout though, the new one is confusing. Is beautiful and very cinematic and a real Remake. Give it another try, maybe follow a guide to understand it a little. Believe me is gold xD.
the re3 remake was fun, but they cut too much from the OG and focused too much on the online mode that NO ONE WANTED OR ASKED FOR. i enjoyed it, but it could have been better.
REmake is quite possibly my favorite game of all time and I'd love to be in the world where the remakes of RE2 and 3 were more faithful to the original with fixed camera angles and such but I've come to accept that world is just a fantasy. Aside from indie horror titles you're never going to see big budget horror games go back to the fixed camera angles of old, especially not Resident Evil. And as much as I'd have loved to see it I doubt a fixed camera angle classic style RE2 remake would have sold nearly as well as the more RE4-inspired style they went with. Even so, I found the remake of RE2 to be fantastic. The RE3 remake less so, but still an enjoyable experience.
I definitely agree, capcom was trying to appeal to more modern audiences and try to welcome newer fans to this series. They could have played it safe like REmake and don’t tank controls and fixed cameras but it definitely would not have attracted a larger audience
You DO realize that the fixed cameral angle perspective is pretty much an archaic design choice,right? (and this is coming from a guy who loves the original games to death)
i think its funny when people call the re4 style as if its something new when re4 came out like 20 years ago, and not too long after the original re1 remake too i'd love to see a fixed camera angles resident evil again tho, theyre more relaxing!
Disagree on re4 and its controls, it wasn’t an intentional design, it was a technical limitation back then. I don’t think more awkward controls for motions achievable by easier movement mechanics necessarily adds value to the game’s overall experience. Maybe it does make the game harder, but control schemes should not be a factor for the game’s difficulty as part of game design.
It wasn't a design limitation,there were a few fps and third person shooters that had come out before 2005 with the more modern controls, re 4's tank controls were a design decision
@@ethan9435 I would like a source for that then. Also just to remind you, tank controls didn't come from a technical limitation but a design one, when alone in the dark was being developed they realized that the fixed camera angles along with a normal control scheme made it quite difficult to orientate yourself whenever the camera angle changed so tank controls were born, and then the RE series just copied that with their own spin on it. Also RE 5 has a whole new engine yet still uses tank controls as well
@@GDsergio Remind me lol, remind me also on software engineering please, for frameworks and APIs for hardwares in particular :) Why not you provide a source of their roadmap that states this is their design decision? ;) Also with evidence this decision is not due to technical limitations :) Just google the tech stacks and hardware used to make re4 yourself, and let me remind you also to not be so sure you are correct :) Im not going to continue this discussion with you anymore, its pointless, you will never appreciate anything i say unless u know what software dev is like.
Resident evil 2 and 3 remakes are great reimaginings, they have some dna of the original but it’s adapted into a new style, essentially making it its own thing. If you look at them as just an “enhancement” to the original, you’re going to not only be disappointed with how they differ, but be left with 2 games you wish were something else instead of 4 games that can all be appreciated for what they are. Re2 and 3 remakes do NOT replace the original games, they stand aside them.
I don’t know if I use the word hate with either Remakes. RE2R is pretty well liked and loved within the RE community as a remake. But RE3R most def is split, and while I enjoyed it myself it most def has way bigger issues then RE2R outside of it just being to short.
Love this video. I wish capcom would’ve remade RE 2/3 back in 2002and made them just like the RE1 remake. That would’ve been so cool. I would much prefer to have those in the old camera angle style than what we actually got.
Agree, I'm currently playing RE remake as my first Resident Evil game (I did play some of RE 4 on PS2 with my brother as kid but my brother finished it, since I was too scared to play) and my god, it's actually addicting to play the fixed camera angle. Before Resident Evil I used to play Onimusha series on PS2 and there's just something so special with the fixed camera gameplay style in horror game. Would be nice if Capcom returns back to the classic gameplay style for remake of lesser known RE game like Dead Aim and Outbreak.
Who exactly hates these remakes? I think they’re awesome. Plus, Every review I’ve read has been extremely positive. These criticisms seem rather nitpicky.
Capcom kinda did this to themselves honestly. The RE1 remake is basically perfect. It didn't cut a single bit of content and only added, expanded and improved upon the existing content and mechanics. It is considered the superior version because of this. These remakes have so much more potential and it's really disappointing when they don't fully or barely utilize it
@@mynameisharry8739 no worries, I’ve done that plenty of times myself. I dunno, I just think the video is being too harsh on the remakes. Personally, I think they’re great. The upgraded visuals and controls are outstanding, the challenge is fair, and they have a lot of replay value.
@@MrRoboto81 see ur reasons are too basic cuz the originals are 90s games like what do u expect? of course better graphics better controls, better gameplay!!!
The main thing is that the remakes weren't really designed to be anything like the originals imo. It's almost counter-productive to compare the two as odd as that sounds. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why they would remake either game without improving upon them as much as they could. And it's because they were never designed to do that. Primarily they were experimental and distractions to keep us invested until Village, but they were also a way to introduce the past to a new audience who wouldn't bother comparing them to the originals. Despite them also being made for fans of the originals? It's confusing, but that's the gist I think lol
I said this before, re2 remake and re3 remake are fake remakes. Re1 remake was the only true remake we got. They re-did the entire soundtrack. Re2 remake they remade like 3 songs. Then pasted DLC original soundtrack and no scenarios. Gave us an extremely lackluster dark police station to hide all its graphical flaws. It was rushed. Re3 remake was even worse smh

@@mel-el5862 good for you, has that gotten you anywhere in life? How does that contribute to society? I made my comment in the last hour your “7 likes” came in 7 days so nice try MurdaMel.

And nah you didn’t bring solid points because every point you made is refutable you keep saying it’s a terrible game that does nothing right but there’s plenty of things out there to prove otherwise. The fact that it was up for game of the year already destroys your claim that it’s bad, let alone the fact that it’s critically acclaimed by critics and fans alike and sold super well. Not to mention most reputable game designers/directors including Kamiya and Mikami have it nothing but praise, but nah, we should listen to UA-cam commenter MurdaMel over those people…
RE2R is great and whoever doesn't like it is stupid. It's RE3R that was not a proper remake. Fixed camera angles and tank controls won't sell and Capcom knows this. That's why RE2R is not like RE2 original.
I’ve been a loyal fan of the series since ‘98 and I don’t understand people hating on the RE2 remake. Yeah, they messed up the A/B scenarios and removed some content, but the game is still amazing for its atmosphere and gameplay. They made zombies scary again! In 2019! After zombies made their way into pretty much anything. And I actually appreciated the fact the game wasn’t a 1:1 recreation of the original like RE1make, a game that made feel guilty for spending 50 euros (or whatever it did cost back then - I am talking about the original GC edition) for essentially buying the same game I had already bought twice (RE1 and the Director’s Cut - the Dual Shock edition was never released over here), only with prettier graphics and some tweaks. RE:2 felt like a new game in that regard, and that’s what a remake should be. While it is mostly enjoyable, I get why fans are pissed about RE:3, as it is not the remake the original game deserved and I had some issues with it myself. But even that game, with all its flaws, is better than anything Capcom made from RE4 to REV2 - RE7 is nice, although it is not a real RE game…and I am still trying to forget that VILLAGE exists. What’s crazy for me is that a lot of the people complaining about the latest remake are mostly part of the RE4 crowd, who hail that game as the finest in the franchise despite being the one that killed both the original narrative AND the original gaming style (I was all about RE getting an upgrade after playing RE0, the most stagnant game in the series at that point, but turning it into an arcade shoot ‘em up was not what I had in mind).
@@NeloBladeOfRanni It doesn't feel like one. The plot and tone are completely removed from the rest of the series. The links to the main RE lore are shoe-horned at the end: it could've very well been its own thing (i.e. a new horror IP). Gameplay-wise, it is a survival horror, but it is played in 1st person and has actions such as crouching to hide from the enemies - elements that set it aside from anything that came before it. Not to mention over-the-top stuff like the chainsaw duel with Jack.
THANK you on actually critiquing RE2make during a time when seemingly everyone held it up as the second coming of Christ; I played it, enjoyed my time, yet feel very little desire to pick it up and replay either a different scenario or finish my Claire run. The lab third of the game especially just drags on and on and has 0 personality whatsoever, not sure if they neutured it in the name of "realism" or just poor translation from PS1 graphics... But good lord that section was a slog that I wish would just end almost every second. The reviews never really mentioned anything about it so assumed it was just me this whole time lol
My favorite game will always be the OG RE2. To be frank, I always prefer the gameplay mechanics of the “re imagined” games but as you said, the magic and charm is what makes the OG games stand out, not the graphics and sound design. Also the level design doesn’t need to be complicated to be better, Ala RE2 OG but it still had a better atmosphere and tone with how it capitalized. The remake made the sewers harder but the OG sewers were better; and as far as the lab is concerned, the industrialized feel of the OG version was superior overall than the clean business oriented lab in the remake. Personally, both RE2 games are beloved but the magic and charm will always win.
Magic and charm? What does that even mean. "Hey guys were making a remake don't forget to sprinkle in the magic and charm. Oh nooo, we ran out of magic and charm!" "Magic and charm" is just nostalgia....
Resident evil resistance had 47 people playing 43 mins ago - they still don’t understand people don’t want online games! However…release outbreak 1 and 2 HD with cut content then that will sell like my ass on a sunday.
Personally out of the 3 remakes, I only liked the remake of the first game. Remake 2 and 3 had a lot of cut content and they butchered the characters imo, especially Jill and Claire who were unbearable. The voice acting was also terrible far worse than the originals and the fact that characters had the same repeating lines during gameplay made it worse. Overall, I'm not a fan of this "Reimagining" thing that Capcom is trying to do, I'd prefer more faithful remakes and it is unfortunate that RE4 will problably be reimagined as well instead of a proper remake.
Out of the Remakes, I've only played RE2, but since I didn't played the OG version, I thought the Remake was pretty good. RE4 Leon is still my favorite, but I quite enjoyed my experience. Platinum the base game, as well as the added content. Wish RE3 wouldn't have cut so many parts of the OG. I'm still looking forward for RE4 Remake, but I'm holding out no expectations. Didn't particularly enjoyed how RE8 Village took away the horror elements that worked so well in RE7. "Consulted gamers told us they didn't like the horror" Who did they asked? A bunch of 9 y/o? Sure, RE7 had some horror elements, but they weren't as difficult to handle when compare to something like Alien: Isolation, or Amnesia.
I saw someone comment on another video: What if the RE4 remake rumors is actually RE Village dlc where it’s a mercenary map in the RE4 village😂 heartbreak.
@@mtb5431 Good for you, you must feel special knowing you can look down on others for having a different feeling than you about video games, something made purely for entertainment that technically gets you nowhere in life. It’s people like you that are easy to pick out to be the most useless in a real survival situation, you’re that person sitting in the corner in the fetal position.
Ugh not THIS again 🙄 Remakes can also be reimaginings... RE2 and RE3 ARE factually remakes both in a literal sense, and the fact Capcom says they are, just like Scarface (1983) is factually a remake of Scarface (1932), or the Thing (1982) is factually a remake of the Thing from another world (1951). There is the Fly (1986/1958), Ocean's eleven (2001/1960), freaking TRUE LIEs was a remake... all remakes are also a retelling or reimagining of the same stories they are based on.
I haven't played the original RE2, just the remake. I think that the biggest problem with the remake is that the A and B scenarios are too similar. The overlapping boss fights make the story confusing because it's not possible for Claire to fight the same boss in the same place as Leon did and vice versa. The only thing the A and B scenarios do correctly is give the story a proper beginning and end while everything else is scrambled together.
Hot take: Remake Nemesis’ design looks WAYYYYY better than OG Nemesis’ design. The OG is cool but looks like a spy kids thumb person. The new one looks great I love it
I agree with the part of the magic that the past games past to us. It's not that i don't like the new games, i do love then too (very much), but i really felt that way, that the adding of new subjects or things were relatively low when you compare with the first remake of the trilogy. Sometimes, i feel that, for a whole lot of people, a game being good is a game being long and beautiful, but, i mean, it's not like it is just the only thing that matters. I agree that is a very essential part in the nowadays games, but it's not the only thing that needs to be focused.
First REmake is a masterpiece top game of all time. The 2nd one was pretty good but not as good as the first REmake and the 3rd was a good game to play once and forget about. Hopefully the rumors of the first 3 being upscaled and rereleased for modern platforms is true. I still can’t believe we never got the 2nd game in the style of the first because sales weren’t that great on the GameCube and it’s very limited audience due to low console sales. If that REmake and 0 released on PlayStation/Playstation 2 it would have had great sales.
From where did you get the rumor that the first 3 are being upscaled? Wanna see a source from where you got that but would love it if that really happened!
@@elaiswaifu5459 the official RE website portal has been posting updated models from the older games leading people to believe/hope they might have some sort of upscaled rerelease coming.
Instead of being masterpieces like the RE1 Remake, they’re just pretty good games. It’s a shame they didn’t go the extra mile to nail it completely, I don’t have any faith in RE4 now
Because the Re1 remake wasn’t even a remake, it was a remaster which means it’s the exact same game but with upgraded graphics. What we all want are remasters lol
@@cyberkkult They aded a lot of story deep and new scenes and the mansion is almost twice the size than the original so wtf are you talking about being a remaster?
I totally agree! The original RE 1 and especially 2 were and are still awesome. Its all about the atmosphere and the magic within these games. I liked playing the remakes but in comparison to the original ones they are not better. I've never had so much fear while playing a video game like in RE1...very hard to top (impossible maybe?)
i mean, tbh you were probably younger when you played RE1... i'll never get that feeling back, the first time playing RE as a kid scared me like a mf. Obviously the new games didnt reach that peak, again because im not 10 anymore, but they had their moments specially playing with headphones at night. Nevertheless, i get your point tho.
Best opinion ever!!! I agree 100% with that. There is a lot of people that was hoping to get a remake or reimagining of Code Veronica instead of that RE4, because being serious, RE4 still looks good and it doesn't need a remake at all. I hope they don't screw up with that game.
They aren't really remakes anymore to begin with,they are reimaginations,they changed alot of the stuff from the original,unlike the RE1 remake that just added more to what we already had in the original.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 but didn’t re1 have multiple ending with the scenario? Barry doesn’t show up in Chris’s ending? He’s liked dead? But he alive in other game. Rebecca doesn’t show up in Jill’s ending. Which ending is cannon?
I've been having the same thoughts as you since the 2 remake was announced. In my opinion they really should just did the 2-3 remake the same way with the remake of the first game. you know, just enhanced the graphics and add some new elements to the game.
It wouldn't have sold as much of loved as much by as many people as the current remake have been. Everyone who played the original when they were kids should just come to face the fact no one wants to play with fixed camera and janky controls anymore.
@@addali150 I totally agree, I've been playing the RE1 remake and I get that it's supposed to be good but it's almost unplayable to me because of the shitty fixed camera angles
@Rick Ross I’ve played it and I definitely agree with them. The janky controls, mechanics, camera angle, checkpoints, and the “improved graphics” where the character models still look like a PS1 game. All of this just takes you straight out of the immersion and horror of the game
There are many individual complains I can make about RE2make and RE3make, but fundamentally, they all boil down to this: these are not remakes. They are *reboots*. Resident Evil 2002, THAT was a remake, and it was the treatment I spent 18 years waiting to see applied to Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. Instead, I got cheated.
Too many changes n cuts, it''s that simple. Remake 1 didn't cut mostly, just added n it was perfect. Re2 remake was very good but too many changes n cuts. Re3 remake I also liked but im pissed that its a half assed demo.
I never played the originals so when I decided to give these games a try, naturally I purchased the remakes. I loved them. So much so that I wanted to play the entire series. That stopped when I got to RE4. Sadly. I heard so much about it. No. I just CANNOT get over the controls. The character movement is so horrendous that I uninstalled the game. I’ll wait for the “re-imagined” version. Hope it’s sometime soon …
your good bro I played the originals and they're not all that. Also most of the RE games are boring if you don't have a friend to play through em with. And the RE community is basically disabled bro. I've played 15 canon RE games watched the movies, and played original RE 2 and 3. Out of all those games i'd only recommend like 3 games. RE 4 remake is gonna be lit though.
Same. I never played the originals either, but I enjoyed the remakes. Then I tried RE1 Remastered, but the tank control was not for me. RE4 didn't have any better control, I was only satisfied with the RE6, and I played it all the way through. I'd rather wait for the RE4R. I hope they put more content in it than in RE3R.
I agree fully with you man. The Originals were so amazing man. I still play them to this day, I haven't played re3 remake but 2 was cool but nothing like The OG story for me. Honestly tho if they would of done the same thing as they did with RE1 HD Remaster I would of loved that.
Meh, RE2 and 3 Remakes are hands down my 2 favorite games, and I've been playing RE since it started. And RE3 Remake is some of the most fun I have had playing a game. People are just too picky and hyper critical these days, can't separate their own expectations from reality. Life is much more enjoyable when you're not picking every little thing apart and hating stuff just to hate it.
The problem is they title it as a “remake” when it just a reimagined and completely cuts stuff from the og game it not about being picky it just being disappointed as a RE fan I like the “remake” games but they just downgraded games from the og ones RE1 Remake is still the best one
I can't help but fully agree on everything in this video. Even though I love RE2's Remake and to an extent with RE3's Remake. Cause it was fun going through it again and again due to how short it is for some reason. And now that the Dead Space Remake has done what the RE1 Remake did, and all of its current reception. It's safe to say people love the same game with added and/or revise parts to make them better. RE4's Remake seems to be going that same route too but we'll see.
Said beautifully. I agree with everything you said 100% 2 and 3 were great games, just not great remakes. Just like i say resident evil 6 is a great game, just not a great resident evil
@@kjc4792 Funny. The kid that praises the Resident Evil game that feels the farthest from a Resident Evil game and the closest to a Call of Duty game tells me to go play Call of because I pointed out how trash this game was 🤣🤣
You pretty much hit the nail in the head. One of the things I missed was that could press the action near objects in the area to get an idea on the thoughts of the characters you control. It gives you an idea of what they prioritize as well. I loved the RE1 Remake, the RE2 was great but got rid of the actual scenario differences, and RE3 is a mockery of the OG RE3 (my personal favorite- you never knew when that dude would show up).
RE2 remake is the perfect embodiment of classic RE mixed with modern RE. It quickly became one of my top 3 favorite RE games. It really wasn't a big deal to me that LeonA/ClaireB ClaireA/LeonB was removed, most casual players who only do 1 time playthroughs wouldn't have made use of it, not surprising that Capcom saw it as a waste of money and development time.
@@mel-el5862 Rushed? It began development in 2015 and wasn’t released until 2019, I’d hardly call that rushed. More like they made creative decisions some hardcore fans weren’t happy with. Regardless, anything is better than the 2009-2016 era of RE. It’s mind boggling how some people are ungrateful with the current remakes given what we had before was Leon and (insert irrelevant partner) dodging explosions and Kung fuing zombies.
@@Chronicpatchkids it was great for the time, but you’d be silly to think Capcom would include it in 2019. Most gamers today aren’t gonna play a game 4 times to see the different ways Ada can “die” or see the different locations for the same boss fight. Expecting too much from something is when you get disappointed.
I love Re2R, but the lack of a zapping system really bothered me. What’s worse is that if they had just made 2 separate canon stories, one for Claire and one for Leon, I’d be fine with it. But no, instead we basically have the Re1 situation all over again where both scenarios are somehow canon. Re3R was just a mess. It felt like a dlc campaign for 2R. So much cut content, so much potential. It’s just a shame. Capcom, pick one or the other. Also stop with the shitty RE multiplayer modes/games.
i personally really enjoyed the remakes, theyre a really nice way to get younger people into an older franchise. i found re2r very eerie which i love and i remember the first time i had a zombie get back up and i was freaked out LMAOOO
The problem with the remakes is that they failed to capture what made their original counterparts special when they first came out and focused more on modernizing the experience than recreating it. Resident Evil 2 and 3 to a lesser extent are phenomenal modern Resident Evil games. These are the Resident Evil games fans have been wanting since RE4 ruined the series. The Revelations games were decent attempts at what these games achieved, but felt more like RE4 being dressed up to feel more classic. With more time and effort, these games could have been perfect remakes that eclipsed their originals, but we accepted them for making Resident Evil feel like Resident Evil again. Now if only they could have used RE2 as the foundation for something new so they could finally tell a new story, increase the scale, and update the mechanics a little in this style of survival horror because I really don't care for what they did with RE7 and Village. My only hope now is that they can turn Resident Evil 4 into a true survival horror game and a better sequel than it was originally.
@生流 奏 Can you really deny that the remakes did a lot of things better? Voice acting? Graphics? Controls? etc. And I don't know what you mean by "people like you", I grew up loving the originals I just don't think they stand up as well now when compared to the remakes.
The remakes were such missed opportunities. Marvin and Kendo could have been given subplots, like Berry popping up every now and then before ultimately meeting their fates
I loved the remake of 2 and 3 was just alright. In my opinion they just removed and changed too much in the Re3 remake. If you'd compare resident evil 2 and the remake of it without looking at the graphics, you'd say it's pretty much the same game. Try this with resident evil 3 and the remake and you'll say they are both different games.
I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE VIDEO! Its not a remake, its a Reimagine. A remake keeps the same concept but enhance or add to whats already there. A reimagine takes familiar set pieces like characters, locations, etc, and make it into something complete different. People argued me down about this and glad to see someone else thinks the same way as I does.
I only bought RE2R, because I didn't even like what I saw in the intro of 3, and having played it a fair bit, I can say that it captures a lot of the original game, most of the locations are intact and improved (especially the sewers). Everything feels different, but I don't think it's in a bad way. The gameplay is also improved. But the main issue I think is the story, mainly the lack of interaction between Leon and Claire, and the extremely awkward cutscenes and all around unnatural situations, like Kendo being so hostile for no apparent reason. I think the lack of good writing is what led to the dropping of the zapping system, because they found no way of making it work with the story they had, or because it would have needed more budget for more alternative cutscenes. And even though I said the locations feel good, there was room to add even more, like and expanded city section, or the cut enemies. It's a weird mix of awesome and disappointing, both as a remake and as a standalone game.
Yeah, I feel like the cut/change story (Leon x Claire, Sherry interaction) doesn't get mentioned enough in any review. In RE2Re, Leon didn't do jack in helping Sherry escape. It's not like the original has that many dialog/cutscenes either and they still decided to cut/change it. "Leon's not just anyone" is a quote from Sherry RE6. Yeah, no... Leon was just some guy you met on the train when you escape Raccoon city, Claire was the one who did everything.
I only played resident evil 4 for the first time like two years ago but it’s one of my favourite games of all time. I hope they put serenity in the remake as that OST just has so many feels to it
@@corruptedbrain6 I have played them both and I liked them, re3 was a little bit short though but because I never played the original I couldn’t really be disappointed. I’ve played 1-8 and own most the other games just haven’t gotten round to them yet
There are many reasons why I wouldn't consider Resident Evil 2 & 3 remakes, the main reason is because Capcom clearly called them re-imagined versions of the original with a lot of cut content. The Resident Evil Remake from 2002 is the only true remake , it took everything great from the original and added more content , more extra modes, !it's unlockable and the best part...No DLC ! All those things i mentioned came with the game upon purchase for free !
Funny enough mr x acted more like nemesis in the re2 remake
The RPD felt bigger than the city portion in 3 remake
yet i think they only should make mrx final boss in 2nd scenario or even put him only in 2nd scenario but make him appear more
like in Claire scenario u can only meet mr x at heli wreckage and at room where u pick tool to move library shelves and parking lot
and fighting super tyrant after fighting G Birkin in his prime is kinda weird
imagine that in re3 u fought grave digger after destroying final nemesis boss
I sort of disagree but understand what you mean. As he acts more of a pursuer in 2 and nemi acts like a beefy goofball (remake). But nemi was specificity made/trained/programed to hunt down STARS members and is nicknamed the pursuer because he technically stalks you all game. At least trash bag suit nemi does and attacks when he sees he may have an advantage. But nemi is FAR smarter than Mr.X, x stays inside the station because he knows the player (a survivor) is alive in there and he was sent before the bomb announcement and after neni to basically clean up anyone who may be surviving. You also have to remember that when the virus leak occured and that umbrella facility fell they used those monsters as field test material.
@@hubertgizinski7962 I totally think x should have been more in leon scenario, either a or b, I think G birkin is very fitting for claire run considering she cares about sherry birkin so much and runs into anette in a much more believable canon way for claire.

not at all, they just put another character, and called him carlos. Yiu canb prefer it of course, just not carlos anymore
I agree... Carlos and Hunk should get their own games... heck Rebecca and Billy should return too lol
Carlos was the best update of the RE3 remake. He was a real character unlike the Latino casanova stereotype he was in the original. They also made him more involved with Jill and expanded his gameplay section.
@@cmdrjanjalani they did what you said was 100 accurate.
I think what I hate most about REmake 3 is what they did to Jill and Nemesis.
Jill used to be a soft, cute and empathetic go getter who could still kick your ass if she had to, but now she's just a one dimensional take no shit tough girl and Nemesis used to be a terrifying threat that you dreaded around every corner, now he's just a joke, literally every character in the game that takes him on treats him like nothing, to Jill he's a "creepy ass stalker" to Carlos he's a "fuckface" and to Mikhail, he's a "shitbird".
I'm actually worried about how they're gonna treat the characters in REmake 4.
True I think Jill's character could have been better but I actually thought the gameplay was addictive. I enjoyed the actual game more than RE2, although RE2 was much more tense and survival horror based. I loved Carlos though, and the two Russian guys, really good characters. I did warm up to Jill when she rolled back through the gate to buy them time. I thought that was when she kind of walked the walk instead of just talk the talk.
Absolutely agree. I don't like Jill's personality in R3make. I love every other Jill that came before this new version though. It doesn't help that I can't think of this Jill as the same one that survived the mansion in REmake or got saved by Chris in RE5. There's this huge disconnect that shouldn't be there in the first place. Same with Claire in a way (REV2 and REmake/REimagining 2). Makes me dread to know how they're going to change characters in 4 REmake.
I didn’t mind Jill in it but I am worried the overall negative reaction to her portrayal will just give Capcom more of an excuse to further diminish her role in the series. Really tired of everything revolving around Chris and Leon.
Or it could have been you were like 8 or something when re3 came out. Play it now and tell me nemesis is scary.
@@humanthefinite8304 Compared to the antagonists in Village, he’s more frightening by a landslide. Not exactly a high bar though lol.
The 3 biggest problems with RE 2 & 3 Remakes are:
1. the subtraction of contents, instead of a bigger richer new contents, making it simply a much shorter game experiences.
2. Replayability is not effective enough.
3. Adding wasted games/modes riding on trends, such as REsistance & RE: Verse. Both are basically dead games & wasted budgets because the half aseing the development & supports.
Non of asked for Resistance either. I play online about once a year cus got bugger all friends n it costs money to play online now so WTF Capcom? Filling our hard drives up with shit we didn't ask for.
Where the fucknis the rest of RE3, those 15 or so missing streets and other locations.
Oooohhh, ye couldne be arsed. Riight.
Uh... RE: Verse isn't even out yet. Just saying can't have a 'dead game' if it wasn't 'alive' to begin with.
If they just ported Outbreak File 1 & 2 over Resistance people would be a lot more happier. The game is actually a lot of fun when played online.
@@pinkinglily6447 A Remake with Outbreak File 1 & 2 packaged with crappy RE3 Demake would've DEFINITELY been worth the retail price of $60 bucks
Agreed, you want to do a decent remake take the original content and improve on it and add more, like the OG remake, don't take shit out, swap things around, cut corners, add things nobody asked for or "reimagine" the entire game. I know some people really love RE2 remake but it failed to live up to it should have been, I won't even play Re3 after what Capcom did to it.
I like how they incorporated some of the stuff from RE1.5 ( scrapped RE2 version) into the RE2 remake. But I was hoping the remakes were more like the RE1 remake (visually) would of loved to see the RPD halls like the mansion halls and rooms. If that makes sense.
With that said, I’m just happy with anything Resident Evil, by far my top 3 favorite franchises (RE, MGS, NFS)

RE2 is amazing but the RE3 remake deserves the hate. It's a great game, but not a great remake when they cut off SO MUCH CONTENT from the original game
@@tjhicks3600 Ok, I’ve played all of them. I understand the hate for 3, I mean I did like it and played through it at least 5-6 times. But I can still see why ppl don’t like it. Way too much cut content. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad game though, as the creator of this video stated.
I DO however, disagree with the viewpoint on 2. The only flaw in it was how they went about the B scenario, but the A scenario made up for it by being better than the originals A scenario…. At least in my opinion.
And yea RE2Make is much scarier than the original…. Because of the lighting and how aggressive the zombies are in it. You could cheese everything so easily in the original, it’s much harder to cheese the enemies in RE2Make, and Mr X was much more intense in the remake as well.
Re2 remake annoyed me, it's like someone with no understanding of the original directed the game

RC: “I do think the games obviously have better cutscenes…”
RE3 Remake Opening: *shows generic live-action riot footage instead of an actual battle between zombies and police*
And don't forget the Umbrella USBS soldiers. That cutscreen was epic and the RE 3 remake cutscene was garbage.
That's really bothered, it could have been cool and as exciting as the original. Also hi Mark.
Oh BTW, posted something in our usually chatting spot.

I did not get any notification that you did. I also looked around at a few of our previous comment threads and did not see anything new. Where would you like me to look?
Nemesis cutscene was badass and looked so real. If only they had expanded on it.
The biggest issue is that it feels like ALL the love went into the RPD...and the one city section of RE3. After that they devolve into circular loops basically.
Yes, they just simply did not put enough effort in.
This exactly. It's a problem the original game had as well, but it's much worse in the remake. I dread the sewers and the lab so much after the first part of the RPD is complete lol
@@SDjilliaRE I guess people either love or hate the lab, personally I liked it, even in the original
@@Weapon-EX6018 It is better than the sewers, but I wish we saw more of the lab or had more objectives. The Ivy room was the main highlight imo
@@SDjilliaRE I feel like the lab was the perfect chance to make it huge and a lot more scary but they completely fuck it up
I think an important detail was missed, the fact that 2 & 3 were developed at basically the same, which is why 3make released only a year later. There was basically no opportunity to learn from launch of the previous game and it only magnified the flaws they both shared. RE2make felt like a better game than it was at the time because it felt like Capcom had forward momentum only to squander it. 3make was a fun game, but a little more attention could've made it the best.
they did the samething in the 90's
I have no idea what you’re talking about. RE2make is the best RE game of all time and goty for the year it came out. It’s damn near flawless.

One was developed and another was developed as DLC. RE3 was so short they added on the multiplayer to justify the absurd $60 price tag. Thus we have the wasted entry that could have been a home run.
Hands down to this day Resident Evil 1 remake is the best example of a remake, the 2019 version of Resident Evil 2 and then Resident Evil 3 I don't really see those as remakes I see them as re-imaginings. And I also agree that with Resident Evil 2 2019 A scenario is the only one you play because be was so lackluster. Resident Evil 3 is my favorite out of the original trilogy and I did not like how the new game turned out so I don't know how I feel about the Resident Evil 4 remake..
You can't say that tbh. Re1 remake was also a reinvisioning. Re1 remake isn't the same game as the original not even close just as nor 2 or 3 are. 3 sucks always has, 2 was good and re1 make is the best but they are ALL reimagined re1 remake is not a remake either
A remake is literally the remaking of the exact content previously made and not a single remake out there does this so remake isn't even a relevant name because they are all reinvisioned games of their previous made game and are able to do more with the newer tech available today so there isn't honestly a true remake out there. Every single one has been changed in multiple ways meaning it cannot be called a remake
2 remake literally embodies what I’d imagine a over the shoulder view of raccoon city to be …atleast the police department, you can’t tell me you weren’t shitting your pants at some point during the first run through the station…if you were playing at night(which you should have btw or like your a bitch? Lol), it was beautiful it made me feel like this is exactly what resident evil is, but it didn’t carry that throughout consistently, the re1 remake did that though for me in terms of atmosphere and monsters so that’s why it’s above that one only and yes that includes it being fixed camera angles and all it worked for me…And I’d hope *fingers crossed* that we can get a remake over the shoulder style re1 for next gen and pc that would be fucking amazing IMO of course if they did it right this time and not leave ANYTHING OUT
I loved both games. 3 was short and didn’t hit like the original but it was still enjoyable for me. I would love for them to remaster/rerelease the originals with trophies/achievements for current consoles. When they brought them back on PS3 I snatched them up quick and had been the main way for me to play them until I bought them on GameCube. Can’t wait for the upgrades later this year. You do make a point on remake and reimagines.
I always thought the remasters should have included their original games so people could experience both
@@denniskrages4511 I made the same comment in a different video. Where a remake should include the original games. I’m sure they don’t take up much data and imagine having trophy support and higher resolution textures. Basically remastering sort of.
@@TheSubZero187 Tekken has done it before.
@@denniskrages4511 well the arcade versions
I agree - 3 had some big issues in terms of it being a remake, like the main one was that nemesis BARELY chased you, really Mr X in 2 was way more like nemesis than nemesis was, and IMO the city area should have been bigger, BUT despite those flaws it was still a very fun game. The RE engine is really awesome and I really enjoy every game that has used it, but I really prefer 3rd person over FPS so I like RE2 and 3 remakes significantly more than RE 7 and 8. I really hope they remake 4, Code Veronica, and even 0 using the RE engine.
You know what bugs me is when people look back at horror games they fail to remember one thing. It was years ago meaning you were alot younger meaning it was easier to scare you. People go on and on about how games and movies aren't as scary anymore, its not that there not scary it's the fact you are adults now! Its alot harder to scared an adult, ever see a horror movie that genuinely scared you as a kid as an adult, it makes you laugh noticing something that stupid scared the shit out you
I agree with you, it’s definitely a factor. Also exposure to a lot of different horror games can make you less sensitive to them. I used to be very afraid of playing dead space and RE4 when I was a kid. Nowadays I could play outlast and RE7 in a dark room.
You hit the nail right on the head. The games for those times were scary and just like you things age and lose their scare factor and the “special effects” aren’t so “special” anymore lol
You know what bugs me even more? When RE 7 was released it was scary then when RE 8 released they toned down the scares because people said they were "too scared" from RE 7 I swear there's an article somewhere that the developers actually said that, it sucks when a game holds back on the scares as well
100% this. I also feel that nostalgia always does indeed play a role to some degree.

That is the one area I can agree with on complaints about RE2 Remake. The 2nd playthrough, or B Scenario, is SOOOOO the same as the 1st, or A. I played through Claires to get the trophy and outside of the Item changes and puzzle combinations in the RPD there where zero changes from what I saw.

I have 5 problems with RE2 remake alone:
1-The new "A/B scenarios" being too similar to each other, even when compared to the original ones.
2-The best cinematic (in my opinion) of the original RE2 game was cut in 3 parts, including two missable VHS tapes. I'm talking about Birkin injecting himself with the G virus and slaughtering the USS team led by Hunk.
3-The game was censored in a annoying way, no explosion of body parts when you use the rocket launcher (just flying mostly INTACT burnt bodies).
4-Too much things from the original game were removed/modified in a not so good way.
5-Capcom lied about the difficulty of the remake supposed to adapt to our gameplay.
You just nit-picking! Lol Trying to find reasons to dislike about it. They changed alot things that actually helped. The gameplay was waaaay more improved. They made a original story almost. Capcom changed alot scenes to create a different experience. It helped alot for newer gamers. But, I've played the original game. The OG will always be the best. But, the Remake Definitely improved some of the outdated gameplay, dialogs and character's. Alot of the characters had zero development back then. Having this new game improving all of that! Gave us a new game Almost

Resident Evil 2 (2019) Red Flags were cutting Monsters, cutting Bosses, cutting Locations, cutting Files, unjustified changing Storyline, cutting A/B Storylines.
Resident Evil 2 (2019) didn’t enhance Original by cutting content from Original.
Resident Evil 3 (2020) didn’t enhance Original by cutting content from Original.
1. The remake was never meant to have any 1st/2nd scenarios, but rather was a change done at the last minute in order to add a bit more replayability. Most people that worked for the game were even surprised by this sudden unexpected change as well since the game was supposed to have a similar narrative that RE1 followed for its plot.
2. Pretty much as a result to #1's response.
3. The game is already gory as is. This is just a matter of nitpicking.
4. Remakes don't have to be the exact same as the originals or become follow-up changes that stick with the same outdated controls/gameplay. It was mostly marketed as a reimagining anyway. Plus, its cut content wasn't half as bad as RE3 Remake's case.
5. Actually, they didn't. The dynamic difficulty mechanic adjusts based on a combined ranking with the amount of damage you take, how bad or good your accuracy is, and the amount of enemies you kill along the way, along with many other factors iirc. It's much easier to track if you own the PC version of the game and use the ultimate trainer that can measure how the dynamic difficulty adjusts to your gameplay.
While it does have its own flaws, it is still overall a great game. Same with RE3 Remake, though that game went through twice the amount of cut content than RE2 Remake, making the game unnecessarily much shorter than it needed to be.
@@sketchy4383 nah the game sucked and didn’t Improve on anything
Can't wait to get to RE2 remake myself.... Such an interesting topic with different ways to look at it. Great video.

Remake 2 is a masterpiece In every sense of the word
If ur up for a great survival horror experience hardcore is great to start on.
It's amazing. Especially the gameplay.
Hey, SH Downpour had amazing ideas (the sidequests where cool, a semi open world version of the town was really cool, the idea of a convict experiencing the town) it's just had some poor execution for the main story, and I feel with a remake of that game with the same developers who with learning from their mistakes could bring Downpour closer if not exactly to it's true potential
I think a remake with a better studio and engine would be great.
as well as RE3 Remake
I actually stopped playing RE4 in the beginning at the village. I had no idea how to kill that many enemies, didn't know about breaking crates or barrels for ammo, scared out of my mind because these people were all bullet sponges. Insane experience! I didnt play again until years later when I did a full RE series playthrough. Loved the game ever since.
The original Resident Evil 3 was one of my favorite games of all time, the remake on the other hand, one of my worse disappointments in general, ever.

@@giovannigiovanni.7220 man you sure hate these games
I've heard from other videos and posts and even the devs themselves calling these 2 games as "re imaginings" but then, others say remake. Which I think, plays a huge role in how we view these games and how they hold up to the OGs. I find myself more so leaning into re imaginings the more I read up on this topic instead of remakes. If their decision was a re imagining, than I'd say they did a good job (i guess?), if they were trying to go with remakes, than they failed where re1 remake succeeded. I think the main issue is, they're trying to get away with doing both options and that's why reviews are so varied, even divided. Re1 remake added, expanded and explained from the OG. The new re2 and re3 didn't do all three, maybe cleared up a few inconsistencies and new game design. But not much else.
Sorry, bad at explaining.
You’re right that they’re reimagining, but when Capcom announced Resident Evil 2 it said remake on the screen. So later they had to say it was reimagining after fans reaction. I think it’s what makes us people confused.
That was a good explanation, don't worry about it!
What I like to think in regards to the whole 'remake or re-imagine' conversation is that it should be what the viewer decides for themselves what they think it is. I like to think of it as a remake myself, while others can think it's a re-imagine. It's dumb that people fight about it, we should just decide for our own what we want them to be.
@@gunnars367 Well problem is how people view the Terms, Remaster and Remake. Id qualify a Remaster as having about 70-90% of the OG version with updated visuals and mechancis and 10-30% new or different stuff, new arears, areas reworked, etc. ReMAKES on the other hand have only at most 50-60% of the OG material and the rest is pretty much brand new.
So by that qualifier RE1 for Gamecube is a Remaster, since its only about 10-15% off the OG version. Even RE2 is a Remaster in that regard, as Id say its between 70-80% the OG. Now RE3 yes WOULD classify as a Remake because other than a few pieces and plot points most of the locations have been severally changed/altered.
Now a Reimagining IMO is taking a concept and putting it in a ENTIRELY different setting. Example would be Ken Levine taking the ideas from System Shock 2 and instead of being on a space station putting it in a 1960s city thats on the bottom of the Ocean, aka Bioshock. AKA a Re imaginning is a Elseworlds version of a IP.
Like Id consider RE7-8 Reimaginings of the players and way things work in the RE universe. Yes I know its a supposed continuation, both numbering and supposed to continue from 6s story. But it is SOOOO far from other REs that I see it as a Elseworld version.
@@memnarch129 uh no? REmake 1 was a full on remake. It was called a REmake for like 15 years, not a remaster. A remaster is something like Resident Evil Code Veronica Remastered on PS3 or PS4.
A REimagining is the shit games we got in 2019 and 2020 falsely and pretentiously advertising itself as a remake. Get it right.
Unpopular opinion here. What I don’t understand is that you cant make a game feel exactly the same unless you make it EXACTLY the same. Yet people will complain if it is too similar and then complain if it is too different. Too many little aspects of a game add up to where people start saying everything about the old games is iconic and cant do without it in a remake. If that isn’t nostalgia then idk what is. I came from playing the classic trilogy and I much prefer the newer remakes. The remakes have an identity of their own while still being familiar, which is what a good remake should be.
EXACTLY!
RE2 remake had the potential to be another RE1 remake, but it missed in:
1. The soundtrack: they had this whole "modern = quiet" mentality that didn't work. RE was always a music heavy franchise to fill in the silent gaps.
2. The incoherent timeline: forget about leaving an item for the other scenario to pick up. You fight Birkin G3 on all 4 scenarios, Mr. X is killed by Birkin on both Claire paths but we still see him with Leon, Annette is always present at the G3 fight.
3. Cut content: making the alligator a qte was a terrible idea. Most sections weren't expanded, they were streamlined
You must have just gotten the standard base game, cause I have the OG RE2 music. And its available on Steam as fairly cheap DLC.
It was a remake not a remaster. That's why
@@meiyami93 Remake intels redoing things meaning that things aren't going to be exactly like the original.

@@AFellowDoktuh totally agree on that
1. Original had better music for sure, a lot of older games do
2. In the original it only applies to the sub machine gun and item pouch, and the windows in the East and west hallways, wouldn’t exactly call it fleshed out either. The first 3 Birkin fights are definitely done better in the original but it wasn’t that bad.
3. The alligator fight was pretty dumb in the original too, it was actually easier in the original since it was made quite obvious to use the canister to kill it. And I disagree, you have plenty of opportunity to backtrack in this game just as much as the original, hell when you’re in the sewer you can go all the way back to the police station for a few optional upgrades.
You make a good point ! Remake and Reboot are completely different. Those ones are more reboot than actual remake. I enjoyed them yeah, but they lack a lot of things cut from the originals... :(
In an alternate reality, We got a really good re3 remake, and then Capcom announced RE outbreak remake, with large sections of the city, hard as nails inventory management and all the campaigns and characters. Capcom did the remake3 dirty, and threw away a good oportunity of a re outbreak remake away with that REsistance. Sadge.

The only one is the moth who was optional and something I never bothered doing in the original. They didn’t change the main storyline at all unless you mainly played Leon/A Claire/B in the original, they cut out spiders and crows who weren’t all that essential in the original (were talking 50 seconds of playtime for both) and the plant monsters were made into an actual threat and not just something to run around. They cut out environments that were in the original game for maybe 5 minutes and instead expanded on environments like the sewer and lab, and added a couple new environments like the orphanage. and no the city doesn’t count because it’s technically still in the game.
@@Weapon-EX6018 in the remake he gets saved by Ada twice before he ever saves her and he follows her lead the whole time but in the original he saves her three times before she ever saves him and he takes the lead the whole time.

I couldn’t agree more about day/night not affecting how scary it is. Can’t wait to see what you have to say about the magic the original games had and of capcom can recreate all those moments
RE2 remake is a gold standard for remakes, imo. It improved upon every aspect of the original game while leaving the heart and soul intact. RE and RE2 were simply amazing games when they came out. The re-imagined 3 isn't as good because the original 3 just wasn't as good as the first two games. I have no idea why people so love RE4 though. I played it after playing the 2&3 remakes and it's truly when RE moves towards action and gets caught up in the world of QTEs. It's still a good game but it's a turning point in the series and 5 is a logical next game after that as is 6 which is the biggest mess of the franchise.
The current games (RE7 and R8 - Village) are in many ways love letters to RE2 and RE4 and I'd take Village (which very much bows to 4) over the original RE4 any day of the week. It's just better and far more cohesive than 4 ever was in everything from story to gameplay to scares.
Well said. This is exactly how I feel. Resident Evil will never be the same again.
bruh, RE hasnt been the same since 4 lmao. In a good way though. Just because a formula changes doesn't mean its bad. 3make was boring though
Don't play it then it's as simple as that
It is essentially about nostalgia. The first RE game I played was RE7 and absolutely loved it so went on to play the remakes which I also loved, except the original remake. I found the fixed cameras and tank controls simply unplayable, and gave up after about an hour or so. People that played the originals first will say they prefer them, however, people that play the remakes first will not like the originals because of the graphics and controls.
Well my experience is different. I never played the originals so i started with 1 Remake. Loved it. The camera angles are unique and make you feel in danger. It feels like a different game han the rest, a new experience thanks to camera angles, i'm not excited to play Re2 Remake after playing so many third person shooters, i could play the original but in low res. The "Tank Controls" actually aren't bad lol, you have to use the classic layout though, the new one is confusing. Is beautiful and very cinematic and a real Remake. Give it another try, maybe follow a guide to understand it a little. Believe me is gold xD.
Bro finally someone who gets it ,agree
the re3 remake was fun, but they cut too much from the OG and focused too much on the online mode that NO ONE WANTED OR ASKED FOR. i enjoyed it, but it could have been better.

@@leonpaelinck because it was at first only for game cube but later sold good for ps4. I bought game cube only for that one game
REmake is quite possibly my favorite game of all time and I'd love to be in the world where the remakes of RE2 and 3 were more faithful to the original with fixed camera angles and such but I've come to accept that world is just a fantasy. Aside from indie horror titles you're never going to see big budget horror games go back to the fixed camera angles of old, especially not Resident Evil. And as much as I'd have loved to see it I doubt a fixed camera angle classic style RE2 remake would have sold nearly as well as the more RE4-inspired style they went with. Even so, I found the remake of RE2 to be fantastic. The RE3 remake less so, but still an enjoyable experience.
I definitely agree, capcom was trying to appeal to more modern audiences and try to welcome newer fans to this series. They could have played it safe like REmake and don’t tank controls and fixed cameras but it definitely would not have attracted a larger audience
You DO realize that the fixed cameral angle perspective is pretty much an archaic design choice,right?
(and this is coming from a guy who loves the original games to death)
i think its funny when people call the re4 style as if its something new when re4 came out like 20 years ago, and not too long after the original re1 remake too
i'd love to see a fixed camera angles resident evil again tho, theyre more relaxing!

@@rpgfanatic9719 it was new forever ago old man, thats what makes it funny to me
Disagree on re4 and its controls, it wasn’t an intentional design, it was a technical limitation back then. I don’t think more awkward controls for motions achievable by easier movement mechanics necessarily adds value to the game’s overall experience. Maybe it does make the game harder, but control schemes should not be a factor for the game’s difficulty as part of game design.
Yeah and the stupid camera goes crazy to sometimes
It wasn't a design limitation,there were a few fps and third person shooters that had come out before 2005 with the more modern controls, re 4's tank controls were a design decision
@@GDsergio Technical limitation in software development, not worldwide technology standards
@@ethan9435 I would like a source for that then.
Also just to remind you, tank controls didn't come from a technical limitation but a design one, when alone in the dark was being developed they realized that the fixed camera angles along with a normal control scheme made it quite difficult to orientate yourself whenever the camera angle changed so tank controls were born, and then the RE series just copied that with their own spin on it.
Also RE 5 has a whole new engine yet still uses tank controls as well
@@GDsergio Remind me lol, remind me also on software engineering please, for frameworks and APIs for hardwares in particular :)
Why not you provide a source of their roadmap that states this is their design decision? ;) Also with evidence this decision is not due to technical limitations :)
Just google the tech stacks and hardware used to make re4 yourself, and let me remind you also to not be so sure you are correct :) Im not going to continue this discussion with you anymore, its pointless, you will never appreciate anything i say unless u know what software dev is like.
Resident evil 2 and 3 remakes are great reimaginings, they have some dna of the original but it’s adapted into a new style, essentially making it its own thing. If you look at them as just an “enhancement” to the original, you’re going to not only be disappointed with how they differ, but be left with 2 games you wish were something else instead of 4 games that can all be appreciated for what they are. Re2 and 3 remakes do NOT replace the original games, they stand aside them.
@The Whacked Bananas 🍌 it is, in fact, not objective, and it is really close minded and silly to think that it is
Re 2 &3 remakes should be made in the RE 1 remake style.
Eww no. Shitty controls and camera. No one likes but old farts
I don’t know if I use the word hate with either Remakes. RE2R is pretty well liked and loved within the RE community as a remake. But RE3R most def is split, and while I enjoyed it myself it most def has way bigger issues then RE2R outside of it just being to short.
Love this video. I wish capcom would’ve remade RE 2/3 back in 2002and made them just like the RE1 remake. That would’ve been so cool. I would much prefer to have those in the old camera angle style than what we actually got.
Agree, I'm currently playing RE remake as my first Resident Evil game (I did play some of RE 4 on PS2 with my brother as kid but my brother finished it, since I was too scared to play) and my god, it's actually addicting to play the fixed camera angle. Before Resident Evil I used to play Onimusha series on PS2 and there's just something so special with the fixed camera gameplay style in horror game. Would be nice if Capcom returns back to the classic gameplay style for remake of lesser known RE game like Dead Aim and Outbreak.
Who exactly hates these remakes? I think they’re awesome. Plus, Every review I’ve read has been extremely positive. These criticisms seem rather nitpicky.
Capcom kinda did this to themselves honestly.
The RE1 remake is basically perfect. It didn't cut a single bit of content and only added, expanded and improved upon the existing content and mechanics. It is considered the superior version because of this.
These remakes have so much more potential and it's really disappointing when they don't fully or barely utilize it

@@MrRoboto81 see ur reasons are too basic cuz the originals are 90s games like what do u expect? of course better graphics better controls, better gameplay!!!
The main thing is that the remakes weren't really designed to be anything like the originals imo. It's almost counter-productive to compare the two as odd as that sounds. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why they would remake either game without improving upon them as much as they could. And it's because they were never designed to do that. Primarily they were experimental and distractions to keep us invested until Village, but they were also a way to introduce the past to a new audience who wouldn't bother comparing them to the originals. Despite them also being made for fans of the originals? It's confusing, but that's the gist I think lol
Resident Evil: 4 REMAKE
Resident Evil: 3 REMAKE Director's Cut
Resident Evil: VILLAGE
Resident Evil: OUTRAGE
Resident Evil: PHOENIX
I said this before, re2 remake and re3 remake are fake remakes. Re1 remake was the only true remake we got. They re-did the entire soundtrack. Re2 remake they remade like 3 songs. Then pasted DLC original soundtrack and no scenarios.
Gave us an extremely lackluster dark police station to hide all its graphical flaws. It was rushed.
Re3 remake was even worse smh
Facts bro. Resident Evil 2 and 3 are reimaginings.
Lol I guess we should all listen to a guy who calls himself “MurdaMel”
@@Weapon-EX6018 never said you have to, the words are coming from some one who can speed run the entire series of resident evil and platinumed both remakes with relative ease.
Only ignorant people think name has anything to do with a solid arguement.
Also u may disagree but 7 thumbs up means 7 agreed as opposed to you.
I bring solid points 👉, you just judged a name. Keep it moving.
@@mel-el5862 good for you, has that gotten you anywhere in life? How does that contribute to society? I made my comment in the last hour your “7 likes” came in 7 days so nice try MurdaMel.
And any adult who calls themselves “MurdaMel” is clearly
A) A wannabe gangster or rapper in his 30s/40s
B) Wants to look/sound tough and cool on the internet thinking people should listen.
And nah you didn’t bring solid points because every point you made is refutable you keep saying it’s a terrible game that does nothing right but there’s plenty of things out there to prove otherwise. The fact that it was up for game of the year already destroys your claim that it’s bad, let alone the fact that it’s critically acclaimed by critics and fans alike and sold super well. Not to mention most reputable game designers/directors including Kamiya and Mikami have it nothing but praise, but nah, we should listen to UA-cam commenter MurdaMel over those people…
RE2R is great and whoever doesn't like it is stupid. It's RE3R that was not a proper remake.
Fixed camera angles and tank controls won't sell and Capcom knows this. That's why RE2R is not like RE2 original.
I’ve been a loyal fan of the series since ‘98 and I don’t understand people hating on the RE2 remake. Yeah, they messed up the A/B scenarios and removed some content, but the game is still amazing for its atmosphere and gameplay. They made zombies scary again! In 2019! After zombies made their way into pretty much anything. And I actually appreciated the fact the game wasn’t a 1:1 recreation of the original like RE1make, a game that made feel guilty for spending 50 euros (or whatever it did cost back then - I am talking about the original GC edition) for essentially buying the same game I had already bought twice (RE1 and the Director’s Cut - the Dual Shock edition was never released over here), only with prettier graphics and some tweaks. RE:2 felt like a new game in that regard, and that’s what a remake should be. While it is mostly enjoyable, I get why fans are pissed about RE:3, as it is not the remake the original game deserved and I had some issues with it myself. But even that game, with all its flaws, is better than anything Capcom made from RE4 to REV2 - RE7 is nice, although it is not a real RE game…and I am still trying to forget that VILLAGE exists. What’s crazy for me is that a lot of the people complaining about the latest remake are mostly part of the RE4 crowd, who hail that game as the finest in the franchise despite being the one that killed both the original narrative AND the original gaming style (I was all about RE getting an upgrade after playing RE0, the most stagnant game in the series at that point, but turning it into an arcade shoot ‘em up was not what I had in mind).
How is re7 not a real RE game lmao?
@@NeloBladeOfRanni It doesn't feel like one. The plot and tone are completely removed from the rest of the series. The links to the main RE lore are shoe-horned at the end: it could've very well been its own thing (i.e. a new horror IP). Gameplay-wise, it is a survival horror, but it is played in 1st person and has actions such as crouching to hide from the enemies - elements that set it aside from anything that came before it. Not to mention over-the-top stuff like the chainsaw duel with Jack.
Wish we got static cameras back... 3rd person just isnt as scary when you can see whats coming.
THANK you on actually critiquing RE2make during a time when seemingly everyone held it up as the second coming of Christ; I played it, enjoyed my time, yet feel very little desire to pick it up and replay either a different scenario or finish my Claire run.
The lab third of the game especially just drags on and on and has 0 personality whatsoever, not sure if they neutured it in the name of "realism" or just poor translation from PS1 graphics... But good lord that section was a slog that I wish would just end almost every second. The reviews never really mentioned anything about it so assumed it was just me this whole time lol
What surprises me more is that there is the internet and Capcom can look at their flaws from videos like this but they don't.
My favorite game will always be the OG RE2. To be frank, I always prefer the gameplay mechanics of the “re imagined” games but as you said, the magic and charm is what makes the OG games stand out, not the graphics and sound design. Also the level design doesn’t need to be complicated to be better, Ala RE2 OG but it still had a better atmosphere and tone with how it capitalized. The remake made the sewers harder but the OG sewers were better; and as far as the lab is concerned, the industrialized feel of the OG version was superior overall than the clean business oriented lab in the remake. Personally, both RE2 games are beloved but the magic and charm will always win.
I want to add that the sound design in the OG RE 2 is better in some ways, if not most. On soundtrack alone is much better.
Magic and charm? What does that even mean.
"Hey guys were making a remake don't forget to sprinkle in the magic and charm. Oh nooo, we ran out of magic and charm!"
"Magic and charm" is just nostalgia....
@@addali150 Sure got your panties riled up, mate.
So people who play originals as adults are also blinded by nostalgia?
@@addali150 I don't know why you're spamming shit everywhere.
Resident evil resistance had 47 people playing 43 mins ago - they still don’t understand people don’t want online games! However…release outbreak 1 and 2 HD with cut content then that will sell like my ass on a sunday.
I’m sorry say that last part again
Personally out of the 3 remakes, I only liked the remake of the first game. Remake 2 and 3 had a lot of cut content and they butchered the characters imo, especially Jill and Claire who were unbearable. The voice acting was also terrible far worse than the originals and the fact that characters had the same repeating lines during gameplay made it worse.
Overall, I'm not a fan of this "Reimagining" thing that Capcom is trying to do, I'd prefer more faithful remakes and it is unfortunate that RE4 will problably be reimagined as well instead of a proper remake.
Out of the Remakes, I've only played RE2, but since I didn't played the OG version, I thought the Remake was pretty good.
RE4 Leon is still my favorite, but I quite enjoyed my experience.
Platinum the base game, as well as the added content.
Wish RE3 wouldn't have cut so many parts of the OG.
I'm still looking forward for RE4 Remake, but I'm holding out no expectations.
Didn't particularly enjoyed how RE8 Village took away the horror elements that worked so well in RE7.
"Consulted gamers told us they didn't like the horror" Who did they asked? A bunch of 9 y/o?
Sure, RE7 had some horror elements, but they weren't as difficult to handle when compare to something like Alien: Isolation, or Amnesia.
They are not remakes.
Modern gamers truly are babies. I loved RE7 but hardly found it scary. I thought Margurites section was a little creepy but that’s about it.
I saw someone comment on another video: What if the RE4 remake rumors is actually RE Village dlc where it’s a mercenary map in the RE4 village😂 heartbreak.
@@mtb5431 Good for you, you must feel special knowing you can look down on others for having a different feeling than you about video games, something made purely for entertainment that technically gets you nowhere in life. It’s people like you that are easy to pick out to be the most useless in a real survival situation, you’re that person sitting in the corner in the fetal position.
The problem is cut content and corners for the sake of being new just remake the whole game?
Ugh not THIS again 🙄 Remakes can also be reimaginings... RE2 and RE3 ARE factually remakes both in a literal sense, and the fact Capcom says they are, just like Scarface (1983) is factually a remake of Scarface (1932), or the Thing (1982) is factually a remake of the Thing from another world (1951). There is the Fly (1986/1958), Ocean's eleven (2001/1960), freaking TRUE LIEs was a remake... all remakes are also a retelling or reimagining of the same stories they are based on.
I haven't played the original RE2, just the remake. I think that the biggest problem with the remake is that the A and B scenarios are too similar. The overlapping boss fights make the story confusing because it's not possible for Claire to fight the same boss in the same place as Leon did and vice versa. The only thing the A and B scenarios do correctly is give the story a proper beginning and end while everything else is scrambled together.
I was fine with 2 remake, but I want a re remake for 3.
Hot take: Remake Nemesis’ design looks WAYYYYY better than OG Nemesis’ design. The OG is cool but looks like a spy kids thumb person. The new one looks great I love it
I agree with the part of the magic that the past games past to us. It's not that i don't like the new games, i do love then too (very much), but i really felt that way, that the adding of new subjects or things were relatively low when you compare with the first remake of the trilogy. Sometimes, i feel that, for a whole lot of people, a game being good is a game being long and beautiful, but, i mean, it's not like it is just the only thing that matters. I agree that is a very essential part in the nowadays games, but it's not the only thing that needs to be focused.
First REmake is a masterpiece top game of all time. The 2nd one was pretty good but not as good as the first REmake and the 3rd was a good game to play once and forget about. Hopefully the rumors of the first 3 being upscaled and rereleased for modern platforms is true. I still can’t believe we never got the 2nd game in the style of the first because sales weren’t that great on the GameCube and it’s very limited audience due to low console sales. If that REmake and 0 released on PlayStation/Playstation 2 it would have had great sales.
2 and 3 are not remakes.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 they remade/reimagined them so what are they then if not that?
From where did you get the rumor that the first 3 are being upscaled? Wanna see a source from where you got that but would love it if that really happened!
@@elaiswaifu5459 the official RE website portal has been posting updated models from the older games leading people to believe/hope they might have some sort of upscaled rerelease coming.
There was no problem,both were great remakes. They did a great job.
*press (X) to doubt*
I mean, If you switch the soundtracks on the menu it clearly said "Original, Remake"
These games are in fact remakes. :)
If you did more research they confirmed the games are reimaginings not remakes.
Mafia 1 is also a good example of a remake
Instead of being masterpieces like the RE1 Remake, they’re just pretty good games.
It’s a shame they didn’t go the extra mile to nail it completely, I don’t have any faith in RE4 now
Because the Re1 remake wasn’t even a remake, it was a remaster which means it’s the exact same game but with upgraded graphics. What we all want are remasters lol
@@cyberkkult They aded a lot of story deep and new scenes and the mansion is almost twice the size than the original so wtf are you talking about being a remaster?
@@daisukemamoru6993 oh then I guess I meant it’s the same game but with added content
@@cyberkkult thats what people want with remakes 99% of the time
I think Downpour wasn't actually that bad to be mentioned here, but Homecoming was THAT BAD.
I totally agree! The original RE 1 and especially 2 were and are still awesome. Its all about the atmosphere and the magic within these games. I liked playing the remakes but in comparison to the original ones they are not better. I've never had so much fear while playing a video game like in RE1...very hard to top (impossible maybe?)
i mean, tbh you were probably younger when you played RE1... i'll never get that feeling back, the first time playing RE as a kid scared me like a mf. Obviously the new games didnt reach that peak, again because im not 10 anymore, but they had their moments specially playing with headphones at night.
Nevertheless, i get your point tho.
The terrible camera angles and shooting zombies in their toes is what made Resident Evil special.
Sorry man but those games are dated as fuck and wouldn't appeal to anyone outside of the OG fanbase.
@@avidfather1864 Dated and yet still better than the remakes to this day LOL
Best opinion ever!!! I agree 100% with that. There is a lot of people that was hoping to get a remake or reimagining of Code Veronica instead of that RE4, because being serious, RE4 still looks good and it doesn't need a remake at all. I hope they don't screw up with that game.
They aren't really remakes anymore to begin with,they are reimaginations,they changed alot of the stuff from the original,unlike the RE1 remake that just added more to what we already had in the original.
Excatly. Resident Evil 1 remake is a remake and even canon to the series.
While the new RE2 and RE3 are reimaginings and not canon.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 but didn’t re1 have multiple ending with the scenario? Barry doesn’t show up in Chris’s ending? He’s liked dead? But he alive in other game. Rebecca doesn’t show up in Jill’s ending. Which ending is cannon?
@@joegardner851 neither, there is no canon scenario in RE1 but you ask fans like this guy they’ll tell you different.
The original games had more content, better stories and RE2 had linked campaigns while the new 9ne didn't.
I've been having the same thoughts as you since the 2 remake was announced. In my opinion they really should just did the 2-3 remake the same way with the remake of the first game. you know, just enhanced the graphics and add some new elements to the game.
It wouldn't have sold as much of loved as much by as many people as the current remake have been.
Everyone who played the original when they were kids should just come to face the fact no one wants to play with fixed camera and janky controls anymore.
@@addali150 I totally agree, I've been playing the RE1 remake and I get that it's supposed to be good but it's almost unplayable to me because of the shitty fixed camera angles
@Rick Ross I’ve played it and I definitely agree with them. The janky controls, mechanics, camera angle, checkpoints, and the “improved graphics” where the character models still look like a PS1 game. All of this just takes you straight out of the immersion and horror of the game
@@addali150 Yeah, that's the problem with this generation, the "gamers" aren't real gamers
@@isaacwalker3288 nah, skill issue, Re1 it's one of the most easiest RE games
There are many individual complains I can make about RE2make and RE3make, but fundamentally, they all boil down to this: these are not remakes. They are *reboots*. Resident Evil 2002, THAT was a remake, and it was the treatment I spent 18 years waiting to see applied to Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. Instead, I got cheated.
Cry about it nerd
Too many changes n cuts, it''s that simple.
Remake 1 didn't cut mostly, just added n it was perfect.
Re2 remake was very good but too many changes n cuts.
Re3 remake I also liked but im pissed that its a half assed demo.
Re1 remake is entirely better than the original and that's not even up for debate
@生流 奏 I mean you prob prefer it due to nostalgia. When it comes to the music, atmosphere, voice acting and visuals RE1remake completely takes the cake
I preferred 2RE over 2 and 3 over 3RE. The king is 1RE tho. 4 is my least fave, but I loved 8 and felt that it was a spiritual remake of 4.
0:01 we need a Minute of silence for nemesis getting a nose
I never played the originals so when I decided to give these games a try, naturally I purchased the remakes. I loved them. So much so that I wanted to play the entire series. That stopped when I got to RE4. Sadly. I heard so much about it. No. I just CANNOT get over the controls. The character movement is so horrendous that I uninstalled the game. I’ll wait for the “re-imagined” version. Hope it’s sometime soon …
your good bro I played the originals and they're not all that. Also most of the RE games are boring if you don't have a friend to play through em with. And the RE community is basically disabled bro. I've played 15 canon RE games watched the movies, and played original RE 2 and 3. Out of all those games i'd only recommend like 3 games. RE 4 remake is gonna be lit though.
Same. I never played the originals either, but I enjoyed the remakes. Then I tried RE1 Remastered, but the tank control was not for me. RE4 didn't have any better control, I was only satisfied with the RE6, and I played it all the way through. I'd rather wait for the RE4R. I hope they put more content in it than in RE3R.
I agree fully with you man. The Originals were so amazing man. I still play them to this day, I haven't played re3 remake but 2 was cool but nothing like The OG story for me. Honestly tho if they would of done the same thing as they did with RE1 HD Remaster I would of loved that.
Meh, RE2 and 3 Remakes are hands down my 2 favorite games, and I've been playing RE since it started. And RE3 Remake is some of the most fun I have had playing a game. People are just too picky and hyper critical these days, can't separate their own expectations from reality. Life is much more enjoyable when you're not picking every little thing apart and hating stuff just to hate it.
Same. Won’t pretend they were perfect but they were still a lot of fun. Even enjoyed RE3R far more then the overrated Village.
Holy shit keeping it 100 bro.. SO TRUE
The problem is they title it as a “remake” when it just a reimagined and completely cuts stuff from the og game it not about being picky it just being disappointed as a RE fan I like the “remake” games but they just downgraded games from the og ones RE1 Remake is still the best one
The word magic is not really an objective argument, at all.
What is the unit of measurement for magic?
I always thought you were a fake Resident Evil fan. But this video changed my mind, thank you for this 👍.
I can't help but fully agree on everything in this video. Even though I love RE2's Remake and to an extent with RE3's Remake. Cause it was fun going through it again and again due to how short it is for some reason.
And now that the Dead Space Remake has done what the RE1 Remake did, and all of its current reception. It's safe to say people love the same game with added and/or revise parts to make them better.
RE4's Remake seems to be going that same route too but we'll see.
Said beautifully. I agree with everything you said 100% 2 and 3 were great games, just not great remakes. Just like i say resident evil 6 is a great game, just not a great resident evil
Resident Evil 6 is pure trash. It's not even a good game.
@@Nevad25 go play your call of duty, boy

@@Nevad25 thats right, sweetie
So all the people that didnt like the games were nostalgic boomers..
The thing I like the most about the remakes, besides the graphics updates, is the over the shoulder camera.
You pretty much hit the nail in the head. One of the things I missed was that could press the action near objects in the area to get an idea on the thoughts of the characters you control. It gives you an idea of what they prioritize as well. I loved the RE1 Remake, the RE2 was great but got rid of the actual scenario differences, and RE3 is a mockery of the OG RE3 (my personal favorite- you never knew when that dude would show up).
Am I the only one not bothered by Nemesis redesign?
RE2 remake is the perfect embodiment of classic RE mixed with modern RE. It quickly became one of my top 3 favorite RE games. It really wasn't a big deal to me that LeonA/ClaireB ClaireA/LeonB was removed, most casual players who only do 1 time playthroughs wouldn't have made use of it, not surprising that Capcom saw it as a waste of money and development time.
Nah they rushed re2 remake thus we didn't get any scenarios and a disjointed story.
@@mel-el5862 Rushed? It began development in 2015 and wasn’t released until 2019, I’d hardly call that rushed. More like they made creative decisions some hardcore fans weren’t happy with.
Regardless, anything is better than the 2009-2016 era of RE. It’s mind boggling how some people are ungrateful with the current remakes given what we had before was Leon and (insert irrelevant partner) dodging explosions and Kung fuing zombies.
The A/B scenarios is like one of the main reasons that the original RE2 is considered one of the best, if not the best, RE game.
@@Chronicpatchkids exactly
@@Chronicpatchkids it was great for the time, but you’d be silly to think Capcom would include it in 2019. Most gamers today aren’t gonna play a game 4 times to see the different ways Ada can “die” or see the different locations for the same boss fight.
Expecting too much from something is when you get disappointed.
I love Re2R, but the lack of a zapping system really bothered me. What’s worse is that if they had just made 2 separate canon stories, one for Claire and one for Leon, I’d be fine with it. But no, instead we basically have the Re1 situation all over again where both scenarios are somehow canon.
Re3R was just a mess. It felt like a dlc campaign for 2R. So much cut content, so much potential. It’s just a shame.
Capcom, pick one or the other. Also stop with the shitty RE multiplayer modes/games.
i personally really enjoyed the remakes, theyre a really nice way to get younger people into an older franchise. i found re2r very eerie which i love and i remember the first time i had a zombie get back up and i was freaked out LMAOOO
The Controls are the worse from any RE-Game
The problem with the remakes is that they failed to capture what made their original counterparts special when they first came out and focused more on modernizing the experience than recreating it.
Resident Evil 2 and 3 to a lesser extent are phenomenal modern Resident Evil games. These are the Resident Evil games fans have been wanting since RE4 ruined the series. The Revelations games were decent attempts at what these games achieved, but felt more like RE4 being dressed up to feel more classic.
With more time and effort, these games could have been perfect remakes that eclipsed their originals, but we accepted them for making Resident Evil feel like Resident Evil again. Now if only they could have used RE2 as the foundation for something new so they could finally tell a new story, increase the scale, and update the mechanics a little in this style of survival horror because I really don't care for what they did with RE7 and Village.
My only hope now is that they can turn Resident Evil 4 into a true survival horror game and a better sequel than it was originally.
Once you stop letting nostalgia drive your opinions, there's really no denying that the remakes are better in almost every way.
@生流 奏 Can you really deny that the remakes did a lot of things better? Voice acting? Graphics? Controls? etc. And I don't know what you mean by "people like you", I grew up loving the originals I just don't think they stand up as well now when compared to the remakes.
The remakes were such missed opportunities. Marvin and Kendo could have been given subplots, like Berry popping up every now and then before ultimately meeting their fates
Re3 remake disappointed me so much I still haven’t bought RE8
I loved the remake of 2 and 3 was just alright. In my opinion they just removed and changed too much in the Re3 remake. If you'd compare resident evil 2 and the remake of it without looking at the graphics, you'd say it's pretty much the same game. Try this with resident evil 3 and the remake and you'll say they are both different games.
I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE VIDEO! Its not a remake, its a Reimagine. A remake keeps the same concept but enhance or add to whats already there. A reimagine takes familiar set pieces like characters, locations, etc, and make it into something complete different. People argued me down about this and glad to see someone else thinks the same way as I does.
I only bought RE2R, because I didn't even like what I saw in the intro of 3, and having played it a fair bit, I can say that it captures a lot of the original game, most of the locations are intact and improved (especially the sewers). Everything feels different, but I don't think it's in a bad way. The gameplay is also improved.
But the main issue I think is the story, mainly the lack of interaction between Leon and Claire, and the extremely awkward cutscenes and all around unnatural situations, like Kendo being so hostile for no apparent reason. I think the lack of good writing is what led to the dropping of the zapping system, because they found no way of making it work with the story they had, or because it would have needed more budget for more alternative cutscenes.
And even though I said the locations feel good, there was room to add even more, like and expanded city section, or the cut enemies.
It's a weird mix of awesome and disappointing, both as a remake and as a standalone game.
Yeah, I feel like the cut/change story (Leon x Claire, Sherry interaction) doesn't get mentioned enough in any review.
In RE2Re, Leon didn't do jack in helping Sherry escape.
It's not like the original has that many dialog/cutscenes either and they still decided to cut/change it.
"Leon's not just anyone" is a quote from Sherry RE6.
Yeah, no... Leon was just some guy you met on the train when you escape Raccoon city, Claire was the one who did everything.
I only played resident evil 4 for the first time like two years ago but it’s one of my favourite games of all time. I hope they put serenity in the remake as that OST just has so many feels to it

There are many reasons why I wouldn't consider Resident Evil 2 & 3 remakes, the main reason is because Capcom clearly called them re-imagined versions of the original with a lot of cut content.
The Resident Evil Remake from 2002 is the only true remake , it took everything great from the original and added more content , more extra modes, !it's unlockable and the best part...No DLC ! All those things i mentioned came with the game upon purchase for free !
