NOTICE: Follow-up video can be found at • RE2 Remake Retrospective
Ever since its official reveal at E3 2018, many people have been asking for my opinions on the Resident Evil 2 Remake... so here it is, in animated form!
It's sad but true... I am personally very disappointed with how the RE2 Remake is turning out to be. I've tried very hard to push my bias aside, and simply be excited for the fact that it's going to exist. But it just doesn't work that way, I'm afraid. With such missed potential and an ultimately broken promise, it's difficult for me to feel anything but betrayed by the whole situation, at least with what's been shown so far.
This animation alone couldn't possibly cover all of my exact reasoning for feeling the way I do, so if you have any questions or are further interested in my thoughts on the RE2 Remake, please take a moment to read this opinion piece I made to accompany the video:
drive.google.c...
Please also keep in mind that I don't think the RE2 Remake will be a ”bad” game by any means. If you're hyped for the RE2 Remake, there's no reason to take this video personally. My opinions are simply my own, and I don't intend to offend, discredit, or sway the opinions of anyone who may feel otherwise. Videos of this nature are always gonna have a touch of comedic anger, and that little jab at ”TrueREfan98” is satire that's only intended towards the fanatical types who lose their shit at even the most innocuous of criticisms.
Whether disappointed or hyped, your opinion is valid.
(As long as you're not being a complete dick to other people in the process, that is)
Thank you for watching!

Yeah... they did listen to the criticism that fans gave them... and then either didn't understand it, or simply decided to give them the finger.
(you should let X wear a hat in a video though just to mock how dumb it is.)
Leon’s mouth was squidwards new look.
As you all probably know, RE2make is now officially released! My husband decided to get the game for himself, so we're likely going to be spending the next few days playing it and seeing how it holds up. Jack will be playing Leon's scenario, and I'm going to play Claire's.
Since this particular game is such a hot topic on my channel, I will likely be working on another video for my overall feelings on the full game. This will most likely be a more simple animation done in a similar style to REMusical Predictions, rather than the more intricate RE2make Reaction. I'll also make another, more in-depth text document to accompany it.
Between getting the full experience of the game, writing about it, and potentially making a video on the matter will take time, so this will inevitably put a delay on the animation I was working on previously. Thank you all for the support and understanding, and I hope you'll enjoy RE2make and the upcoming animations!
I bought it myself. So far I like it. Still in the middle of Leon's story.
Hope you and Jack enjoy the game, tell us what was your favorite part when you finish the game!
Just bumped into the Tyrant. Good lord the tension is real.
waiting for it
I'm glad that you decided to buy and play it Leggy, I think you don't want to spoil yourself. one tips: The objective/indicator can be turned off, but it will also hide your aiming reticle.
That piano version of blue da ba de... nice
arkla how about the willomet theme song for deadrising
:''') feels so sad and nostalgic but happy in someway
It feels so beautiful.
This isn’t all that related to the video but I kinda get emotional watching your newer stuff. Been here (along with my sister) since your first RE Musical and this reminded me of when you uploaded your thoughts of RE 5 (along with your parody). It’s just really amazing to see how your art style has changed and what other ideas you come up with next. Can’t wait for the next video! ❤️
Thank you so much for staying with my work since the beginning, that's a truly special thing that means so much to me! I'm glad you're still here :)
long live the #LeggyFandom
This!! I just got access to my old account and remembered how much I used to watch Re Musicals as well. Guess I've got quite the back log to catch up on now XD
Same here for me
I'll be honest
I once or twice tried playing RE games but I just couldn't do it
The controls are ABYSMAL, I can't handle the camera perspective, simple things like aiming a gun were terrible chores & I couldn't get past how clunky everything is
But I haven't met anyone who loves this franchise as much as ShadowLeggy here to fhis extent
Watching her original "in a nutshell" works long ago inspired me to see the walkthroughs, see the movies, and I've spent hours on end just excitedly reading every Wiki entries out there about it
I was enthralled & became so enthusiastic about it
& it all cascaded from her vids here, even now I occasionally come here for a laugh & I am never disappointed
@@ShadowLeggy I have to echo the sentiment, I sometimes watch the old vids and I love the faces and silliness and the musical choices. They remind me of simpler times in my life .But I love that you still have new RE content
I'm excited for the Resident Evil 2: Remake but you hit on a lot of good points here, Shadow. This video was like me, before all the hype and excitement, confronting the new me, after all the hype and excitement. It really made me think, is this really what I wanted?
Yeah, it's completely understandable! I can get why people are hyped, and honestly I wish I was as on board as most people are. It's no fun feeling disappointed and pessimistic, but I can't just force myself to feel something I don't, either. In the end, I just hope that regardless if I like or dislike the story/content, that the gameplay will at least be fun to handle. So here's hoping it'll be great in that regard :)
@Sebastian Montoya Dude. She gets it. She even replied to an earlier comment you made saying the same thing. Stop being an asshole.
Get ShadowLeggy on for a podcast, JJ!
oh my lord
It should be given a fair chance. If it actually were like re4 it would mean a fast paced shooting gallery with melee mechanics and increasingly difficult and varied encounters with large amount of enemies where fast reflexes and situational awareness combined with effective level navigation culminate in a stylish slaughter of enemies and fast progression. The simple displacement of the camera doesnt mean plentiful amounts of healing items and ammo with easily dispatchable enemies.
Still i would be equally or maybe even more so excited for a remake with a static camera because of the atmospheric effects it provides. Altough the over the shoulder viewpoint grants different possibilites for scares and surprises since you only see what the charcter sees.
I hope all of us are pleasantly surprised and satisfied with re2 remake. It has enormous boots to fill.
Also i would never ever ever want any of your videos to be remastered in Re2:R style. The old ones aren't going anywhere and they will forever be remembered by the fans. Loving all of your new uploads! Been a fan since your first musicals 😊
thank you for being open minded.
I too will give it a fair chance. It is very difficult for many of us who grew up with the original games, who asked and begged Capcom to remake this game since RE1 remake first came out in 2002, we were basically ignored for 13 years!
Its insane when you think about all that time it took to be heard as a fan and we knew as fans these remakes were a no-brainer. And as Shadowleggy pointed out many times, this was always advertised as a remake and then Capcom has openly said in interviews since E3 multiple times that its not a remake its a new game and they took a re-imagining approach, which is their words.
I would even go farther to say the 13 years we tried to even as fans be heard to get this remake greenlit and the additional 3 years until the reveal of the game we have been giving Capcom a detailed blueprint and been consistent to be heard to make this remake very much like RE1 remake which has been known in the gaming industry and fans across the board as the quintessential remake, this is how you remake a game. And they did stray far from that formula.
I'll definitely give it a shot, and hopefully it'll be fair, though it's pretty tough getting over the bitterness of being lied to all the way back in 2015. And the little jab on Claire's jacket, while that's mostly made in jest, I'd be lying if I said I didn't just see a re-skinned RE4 any time I look at the standard gameplay from RE2make. It hurts a little bit more with each viewing, to a point where I haven't even wanted to look at updates anymore, but that's just me.
With Capcom's track record of every single OTS Resident Evil title being almost entirely action-focused, also doesn't really help my outlook on how RE2make may wind up, but let's just hope I'm wrong about that in the end, and Capcom can finally prove themselves. It really would be a nice little surprise, for a change.
And thank you, I'm glad to hear that! I've said it plenty of times before, but this channel will always be a place for the classic games, first and foremost. Trends be damned, I know what I like and I'm sticking to it :)
Mipera
That's basically what fan thinking should be
Mipera; the game will have AUTOMATIC SAVES, UNLIMITED SAVES, AUTO-BALANCING SYSTEM that spawns items and/or enemies depending how well you do in the game, up to 16 slots of inventory space, HUD that shows you a legit crosshair + ammo + HP + mission reminders, button prompts ... and who knows what else.
It's not "just" the camera angle ruining this game for me, though that one is a big fuck up on its own already. It's all made even worse by the fact that you can now MOVE and ATTACK at the same time, with the crosshair always being stuck in the middle of the screen, thus totally removing the little bit of tactical thinking even RE4 still had with its stationary free-aiming.
@@GugureSux I havent heard anything of the autosave or difficulty system. Can you give me sources to read? Tho i like the difficulty system becuse that gives players eho play well more challenges. I love the movement lock of re4 and 5 but being able to move and shoot gives the enemies also more room to be agile and aggressive. You can move and shoot in SH1 as well. I do wish they include an extra classic difficulty where you havr ink ribbons like they had one in RE7. Theres gameplay of re2 remake with a laser sight so theres that.
_”I'm blue” in the background, omg i love it AAAAA💙_
They changed so much in the remake it is almost a different game.
Yeah, it's definitely more like a reboot than a remake. They did claim this before the game came out... but the initial announcement did indeed call it a "remake" so there was definitely a bit of deception throughout production.

Whats that song you use at 1:50? It sounds like that one song off of Big fat liar.
RE6 wasn't a total stinker IMO. Fixed camera angles are dated nowadays. They were used back in the 90s due to hardware limitation.
"Item indicators are incredibly jarring and immersion-breaking,"- I agree,but this is how things work in 8th gen,we have huds and indicators for everything. Maybe they'll turn it off in the highest difficult,who knows.
"The mechanics doors use just looks silly and almost broken, like they could've been programmed far better."-I don't get what you said,could you elaborate plz?
"Near the same timestamp, characters constantly shouting profanities while being attacked is very annoying."-I think that's the same thing that every newcomer to that kind of situation would do
"While I understand using the RE Engine, recycling the RE7 menu just seems downright lazy and uninspired."-RE had recycled menus from 1 up to CVX,that's a Capcom thing and I'm ok with it.
"Claire has been altered to the point of being unrecognizable, with outfit designs becoming questionable at best."-The photo you picked is indeed weird because it is meant to be an official artwork,her ingame model resembles much more Claire's likeness and you can fix her questionable classic outfit by adding a black T under the jacket.
"Keeping certain content behind a pre-order paywall sucks, especially when it's stuff that used to be unlockables."-I agree,but unfortunately 1 or 2 people won't change this reality.
About the orverall darkness,maybe it's how they did video edition,maybe it was a preset brightness from the start which could not be changed,we'll know for sure when the game is out.
Have you seen Hideki Kamiya fighting off the tweets of people complaining directly at him about the REmake's direction? It's freaking hilarious. lol he calls everyone complaining insects. he's not even working for Capcom anymore!
Thanks for not updating them😂looks really weird lol
People who slander shit like that usually spell “you’re” as “your”
I was tempted to make him type like an idiot, but I think people would've been even more pissed off. Enough folks think it's already a "strawman" as it is, so they might've flipped their shit if I made it any more realistic XP
The only problem I have with the Remake so far is the fact that the characters won't shut up during gameplay. The more the characters talk the less scared I am. Take the famous licker window scene for example. In the original it is silent as the grave and goes by very quickly. In the remake the licker crawls by slightly more slowly making a loud banging noise with Leon responding with "What the hell was that?" Which completely destroys the tension by overemphasizing it. The characters will often say things such as "I can do this" and "Stay back" when confronted with a zombie. This completely severs the connection between player and character and as a result The experience becomes substantially less scary.
They haven't stfu since RE6.
@@officersquarehead That's true but you have to keep in mind that Resident Evil 6 wasn't a horror game.
U r demn right i didnt think about that fact
I think it makes it completely realistic...
If I was walking down a dark, bloody hallway and I heard something make a bang in the dead silence I would "gasp" I would "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST wtf was that!?"
Realism. I wouldn't stfu if all that shit happened to me. Yelling and talking out loud are perfectly normal reactions during scary situations.
It's honest-to-god the best RE game since RE3/REmake.
The only thing that has disappointed me about this remake is no Alyson court, I just hope they’ll go to her if Claire appears in later entries and that this isn’t the end of her playing Claire
she played EVERY Claire except this one. and i mean every game she is in, she is voiced by Alyson Court.
Not Revelations 2.....that was when the voice actors' strike was going on. She hasn't been Claire since.
@@omegazerotg17 oh, i wasn't aware of this! so she is still on strike or is her career ruined because of this?
@@specialunit0428 no the strike ended a few years ago, but unfortunately it was after REmake2 was in production, so she wasn't hired back on to voice Claire. Unfortunately, I think Capcom will probably avoid using Alyson Court for Claire's voice due to the past strike....
@@omegazerotg17 *sigh* she was a good claire and i can't imagine another playing as her. RIP Claire :(
Definitely it was not faithful to the playability of the RE2 version of 1998, comparing it with the RE1: REMAKE of 2002, with respect to RE1 of 1996, but the REBOOT version of 2019 is not canonical, so for my part there is no drama about the same and at least I entertained myself for a while with it. 😐👍
Yeah, I really don't see how it can be considered canon when they left out some key elements that directly related it back to RE1. Namely the whole Ada subplot... why on earth did they toss the entire Ada + John relevancy out the window? So many stupid decisions when it came to how they handled characters, their personalities, and motivations.
The remake is great. Nobody cares about the nostalfags who want to have tank controls all life long
@@krauser18x Well, apparently you care enough to be an ass as a person.
@@krauser18x The reboot of 2019 is not even a remake
@@krauser18x The matter was about the canonicity of RE2 2019, which is officially non-canonical, and how its playability is different from the original game as a whole; So commenting specifically only about the Tank Controls, like just because, is something completely off-topic.
1:25 OMG I was in that couch
That's awesome! SGDQ is now a household tradition to watch every year. 💙
"It's just RE4" - (Fake) Claire Redfield.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I cannot believe how long I’ve actually been watching your channel like since I was a little kid
I hope it's a great game, re2 is my favorite
Nawnii hi thx again for showing this channel to me again
It is going to be. I don't easily like any game unless it is good so don't worry about it and I REally liked this one
Hassan Awdi yeah
It's going to be a flavor-of-the-month title, that then dies out into nothingness.
The gameplay is simply way too generic, streamlined and spoonfeeding to leave a lasting impression.
Not to mention the audio-design and even visual style are just bland as fuck.
@@GugureSux Dude that's really uncalled for, you don't need to go around telling people the game is going to be bad if they show hope for it to be the contrary of what you claim.
As much as I initially wanted fixed camera angles for this remake, I understand why Capcom decided to go with the OTS perspective. I remember critics calling fixed camera angles dated way back when Code Veronica came out on the Sega Dreamcast. I suppose Capcom wants the game to appeal to as many people as possible, particularly younger gamers, and fixed camera angles are a little too "retro" at this point. What really concerns me is how dark the game is. REmake managed to be tonally dark without literally turning off all the lights. I want to actually see what the new police station looks like!
I guess that's just the way they've decided to see things. Though I feel that HD REmastered proved that the classic style was still perfectly viable (and who knows how much more it could've been improved with RE Engine) Capcom would just rather do the more pandering thing in the end. It's a shame, but it is what it is. I do hope the darkness can actually be adjusted in a way that actually makes a difference, too.
EXACTLY! they keep trying to involve younger gamers. if they kept with making remakes or more resident evil games like in RE: REMAKE, they would have made millions. people like me and no doubt leggy would definitely run to the nearest game shop to play it :)
I remember you since Alexia's Lullaby. Glad to find your channel again. Keep doing your amazing work.
Love from Mexico 🇲🇽💖
Exactly how I feel about it.
Resident Evil 2 (2019) is more of a re-imagining than a direct remake, while RE on the GameCube was pretty much just like the original, but with better graphics, more content, and more importantly... directed by the same guy.
Sadly, I don't know if any of the original people that worked on RE 2 are even working on this new one.
by that logic it isn't the same game if it had more content lol RE1 original was super short game even with the 2 characters you can select.
@@SyLuX636 Yeah. I'm pretty sure it is the same game.... but with more content.
The original director blessed this project before it ever went forward. I’m sad there’s so many resident evil fans so firmly stuck in their old ways when it’s been proven time and time again how updating the series to keep it fresh while sticking to that classic outline is a necessary thing! RE4 and RE7 are amazing titles, 4 was a bit more action, but at no point does it feel less RE! I’m only excited to re-experience 2 in a new light! With all the new and old nostalgia that comes with it! Fixed cameras aren’t necessary, nor would they improve anything, I grew up on fixed camera and can gladly say I’m glad we’ve moved on! I’m also sick of people acting like RE:Remake was an exact 1:1 remake. It’s not, they added new areas, an entirely new boss, and made zombies terrifying again with the crimson head mutation! So when you’re complaining about a reimagined re2 just remember you’re at least being somewhat of a hypocrite and you should and it should be acknowledged!
Rabit Ronin: Shinji Mikami left Capcom after RE4 was ported to the PS2 (That made him angry for some reason), but with RE7, Capcom proved they could make a great RE title without him, so we can still hope.
@@joshuaperkins4565 I already said Remake added new content. I was referring to Lisa Trevor, crimson heads, etc. But the game is almost a shot for shot remake of the first one, BESIDES the added content and improved graphics. Unlike the new game, which isn't made by the same team as the original Re2 and has an all around different vision.
While I could argue REmake was meant to replace the original... I don't think RE2make has the same intent.
As for fixed camera angles vs over the shoulder? One isn't more valid than the other. Modern third person games (while great) aren't as cinematic and look kinda stale after a while. But I've warmed up a lot more towards this new RE2 and can't wait to play it. Still don't like Claire's redesign though. :/
Honestly, I'm glad that it's going the Survival-horror route instead of action-horror. I'm 2 hours in and I'm loving it.
Leon's lips. LOL 😄
Actually I like the RE2 Remake having over the shoulder view. I find Resident Evils before RE4 difficult trying to dodge Zombies.
Just like the FFVII Remake I'm just disappointed it's not faithful to the original that it's too different. And they didn't do justice to Claire's Classic Costume. It's still not faithful to the original Design.
you may as well stick to Minecraft, since that's a piss easy game for babies, like you
@@fartsnstuf Wow, that really hit home. 😟
I don’t think your opinion is wrong leggy, but I feel like for some games that are being remade they need to make a difference that they have to change some aspects to give a new feel for both veterans players and new players. We can’t always get what we want in a game like this but we can get some things that will make the game worth the wait. For sure I’m gonna preorder the deluxe version to get the classic resident evil 2 music option and the classic Claire costume to keep my resident evil 2 experience the same as if I was playing the original resident evil 2.
Hey I appreciate it, and do understand that Capcom is a business in the end. I really just wish that they did start this whole thing off with a lie that they lead on for 3 years, that's what burns the most, and it's not something I can personally just shrug off. Though I understand that's my own issue, and can totally get why other people are unphased and excited.
In the end, it's not a remake, it's a Reboot of the saga,
That is why it is called Resident Evil 2 2019.
sorry for my bad english, i'am speak spanish.
You're fine! And I agree. It's a shame Capcom advertised it as a "Remake" right up until the last minute, then claimed it's _not_ a remake as soon as they revealed it was OTS. Really lead on the classic fans with that one, but oh well.
@@ShadowLeggy although it is not a remake it was a great game, and soon comes the Resident evil 3
I'm genuinely excited personally, but I can definitely see how the game could be bad as well compared to other resident evils, especially the game it's remastering.
I respect your opinion Leggy ^^
I didn't grow up with the classic resi games, I grew up with 4, 5 and
..6 sadly..but mainly 4 and 5. I also played the rail shooters on the Wii and the remake of the classic Resident Evil.
So i understand you're worried that it might not turn out well, that's alright ^^
Let's hope the remake turns out just as good as Re:Make and Re:Mastered.
Also I love your designs for the redone characters 😂
I understand your view point but I have to say that I don't agree. I also grew up playing RE, I am happy they've gone back to update it. Its also my hope that they will return to the horror side of RE and I personally don't think fixed camera angles are needed in a game anymore. And I've played and still play to this day fixed camera mode games and railshooters when the mood hits me, but I have to say i'm excited to see what they "change" in this remake. I'm often blown away by today's games and how much they've changed. I started out back in the atari era I understand your want to relive your childhood in a game. Which is why I still own my old systems or replaced the broken ones with new ones, so I can do just that.
In short I am glad its updated all around because now I can play the old RE2 and then play the remake and make new gaming memories.
I appreciate it, and that's completely understandable. A lot of the disappointment for me comes from their "We Do It" campaign in 2015, in which we (the ones supporting and commenting for a classic styled RE2make) were basically lied to and kept in the dark for 3 years. But I do truly hope they return to horror as they claim this time. Though even then, they've promised the same concept for every other OTS title, which all ultimately became actions games instead. So here's hoping this one will finally be the real deal.
@@ShadowLeggy True story and I understand the disappointment I didn't know the support for an RE2 remake was made by support for a classic styled game. I thought it was just support for a remake remake. That being said years ago, players had to live with odd camera angles, fussy controls, and frustrating save systems, which I might add, we old gamers tend to hold on to as to that's what made the older games so great. I believe however that their focus seems more towards growing their fan base by making the remake more updated and accessible to today's gamer. Thus breathing new life into a all but dead franchise, which has me excited to see what they will do with RE after the remake/rewrites. So long as they don't make the remake "easy" I will find great joy in playing it as I'm sure you might as well. I enjoyed how they tried to balance the horror side with the action side in RE7. The simple fact that I didn't even want to buy RE7, but was told by a friend he thought I'd enjoy it says a lot to me about how they are wishing to make RE back into a horror/survivor game franchise.
maxphobia ZX SPECTRUM is better...get outta here atari player! (BTW did you have a 2600 or a 5400?)
Fixed camera angles added to the tension! You could hear creepy steps, roars and other creepy sounds, but fixed camera angles prevented you from checking it out, which made the situation scarier! When you see everything and everyone approaching you in your line of sight as soon as you hear the sound it defeats the purprose of "unpleasant" surprise! Thats how i received my first jumpscare, when Nemesis followed me to the next room in Police Station in RE3 and as soon as i entered it to my surprise i could hear his roar, but couldn't see where he appeared, so the fixed camera angle preserved the tense and scary moment for me! If i entered the room with over the shouler view i would most likely immediately spotted him at my line of sight and it would ruin the scare!
Also if what you say is true (about focusing on a broader audience!) thats pity and shame! Capcom shouldn't consider ineterests of those people at all, they aren't "true fans" and they shouldn't cater the game and dumb it down to their liking! That audience have plenty of games to choose from, why sabotaging RE series and ruin it for the fans of the series?
My biggest problem, just off of watching others play the demo, was a simple one: Zombies are now bullet sponges, EVEN if you shoot them IN THE HEAD...you know....that one thing that rewarded you for your skill with NOT wasting your ammo. But no, now you can shoot them in the head four times, and their now faceless head will chase after you to try and bite you.
My brother also brought up the lighting. If the lights are on, you're safe. If they are off, you're in danger. It really takes the suspense when I have a clear indicator of if I can or will be attacked. Becomes less horror and more: Oh hey the obvious 'zombie sign' has been lit up, thanks for warning me game.
Also this one is more of a personal bug than a criticism, but it seems to be more of a gore fest than horror. I feels more so like they are trying to make me vomit than scare me. I know for some gore is one of the most horrifying things, but for me its just disgusting to look at. At no point playing or watching others play did I feel fear. I don't think I need to say this but for a horror franchise that's very very bad.
Huh, well that's interesting to hear. Like, it makes sense in a way that zombies are "tougher" and don't die with a hit to the head, because... OTS style aiming would make that ridiculously easy. I see that as kind of an "oops, we fucked up" situation though, since, well, RE2 was never an OTS game. RE4 was, but RE4 didn't have zombies. _Oops._
If the lighting "warning" sticks around too, that'd really be a shame. That's like, A Machine For Pigs level of immersion breaking and completely ruining the horror. That's how horror works, you're not supposed to _know_ when the danger is coming. Really hope the finally release won't be that blatantly obvious.
Man hard to believe it has been 10 years since I first saw your videos back when I was in 8th grade. After one of your hiatus during the college years I think I almost forgot about this channel and was surprised I never subbed to it. Anyway I like that your animation has improved since and I hope re2 remake is successful
Well it means a lot that you somehow remembered and came back to my channel! And I'm glad you like how the animations have changed, too. I think it's safe to say that RE2make will be very successful financially, at this point they'd have to make Bethesda-level decisions in order to screw that up!
@@ShadowLeggyLet's hope so. Capcom has been doing good these last couple years and I hope they don't repeat their past mistakes where at one point they were close to bankruptcy
Everytime I see a notification from ShadowLeggy I sincerely feel emotional and like, you know, like I am about to cry, I grew up with her videos and damn, everytime I see anything related to her, it hits right deep in my heart
I was roughly ten years old when I found your channel, I think the first one I watched was Lack Of Memory and I could relate heavily because my older cousin let me borrow the original Re2 since my grandma had obtained a playstation for me somehow. Through your channel, I found out about the rest of the Re games out at the time. The original remake, Survivor, Code Veronica X, Re4, Re3, Outbreak files. I played them all because of your channel. I'm 22 now and bought myself a PS4 on a whim because of REmake 2's release and suddenly memories of a channel I hadn't visited since before highschool hit me. Thank you Leggy, for exposing a great franchise to me and for making hilarious original content based around it.
Well it means a lot that you enjoyed my stuff as far back as then, and remembered it to this day! Not to mention that you were able to get into Resident Evil because of that. I hope you've been having fun with that!
Leggy's bizarre adventure
heck yeah id binge that
Let me guess jojo reference
While I think that RE2Remake can be still great with an "over-the-shoulder-perspective", Im still dissapointed that they didnt went with the "classic camera".
Think about it REmake and RE Zero, are probably one of the most beautiful games, still to this day.
The backgrounds in those games looked stunning, but they were static.
With the power of next gen consoles, you would have those graphically beautiful backgrounds in real 3D, which means the camera can allways move around.
Imagine walking through the Racoon Police Department while having those dynamic camera tracking shots ala Silent Hill 1.
REmake and RE0 truly are beautiful games, and that's from Gamecube! As you said, the potential for that style being brought to modern-day consoles is astronomical... bu I guess we'll never get to see that come to light.
I had similar concerns when this was first announced but after watching multiple gameplay videos, I'm glad they kept the spirit of the game.
Keep in mind: This could've been RE5 or RE6. Also, not sure if anyone told you, ShadowLeggy, but you can unlock Leon and Claire's original costumes from the 1998 game in this game and you can switch to the original soundtrack.
Well, I hope they do.
See, RE5 and RE6 were advertised as "fear you won't forget" and a "return to true horror" respectively. And every other OTS title have been action games through and through. So with that track record, I can't exactly trust in RE2make's advertising until the final game is released. And yes, the "classic" outfits are free, but the original OST is locked behind a preorder/delux paywall.
True, when I heard of the remake I myself was expecting it like the 1 REmake...similar but improved gameplay but improved story, graphics, etc. Seeing this new approach, I kinda am curious where itll go given it looks like the story itself is even rebooted and shit. Idk I guess all of us will get a hands on chance when the 1 shot 30 min demo comes out in a few days
Yeah, it was definitely advertised as such, both in name and timing. When "We Do It" was announced, the feedback was very clearly from hardcore fans of RE2, like, overwhelmingly the comments were asking for it to be like REmake/REmastered, but oh well.
I skipped on the demo myself, because my husband is going to be buying the game on release. So we'll just have to see how it plays then.
@@ShadowLeggy yeah, so far the reviews are looking up, then again I dont base reviews on my own opinions of big games like this, so almost time to see what we all think
Woah. This came up in my recommendations and nostalgia hit me like a TRUCK. I remember I used to watch your videos all the time back in 2008! Awesome to see you're still active.
The Queen has returned! All hail Leggy!
LMAO ADA IN THE TRENCHCOAT AT THE END KILLED ME
I was expecting the RE2 remake would be similar to the RE Remaster. But instead we get the over shoulder camera angle. But still the atmosphere and elements are great including a new areas for us to explore and the gameplay is similar to RE7 which is great also. New items and combining items. Mr. X now follows you in every room once he spotted you which is similar to Jack Baker.
Since CAPCOM was planning on remaking RE3 I will be expecting more from them.
Those do seem like good things that have plenty of potential, so hopefully they'll turn out as cool as they seem :)
Well the jack baker thing was kinda ripped from nemesis because he would follow Jill constantly until she could lose him by hiding or taking him down. Just a bit of info for those who might read my comment. ^_^
You can hear Mr x walking from two rooms away, scary as fuck.
I still think it's alright.
Also I'm still inspired to draw, create sketches.
The good old days never died.
And also you, Jack, and every pop culture inspired me to keep going.
So what I'm saying is Shadow Leggy, you and everyone, be yourself my friends, stay awesome and never stop drawing, and never stop being yourself.
I understand what you wanted to express with this video
markers of the loot for retarded blind kids instead of surprise item in textures, bad characters development, pitch darkness.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who hears 'I'm Blue' piano version in this video
I have the same feelings as you, Leggy. I don't blame you one bit. Even though RE4 was my first RE game, I still went back to the old games and RE2 is my absolute favorite one. In a way it's part of my childhood so I get you. There are some things I do like about the remake but there are some things where I'm like "wait, they're really doing this?" Especially with their damn faces like dear god in heaven, put those things back where they came from or so help me.
You are right though that we should wait until the game is released and see what will happen. Also, thank you for not doing future animations with the abominations of the characters designs in the remake. I am excited for this game but I am always going to love RE2 as it has a special place in my heart. I've been following you since the beginning and that's not going to change :)
Thank you, it's all very bittersweet. At least there's closure on there ever being an RE2make.
And sure thing XD I was shocked to see how many people had been asking and/or requesting me to make RE2 videos from here on out, using the new designs. Hell. No.
@@ShadowLeggy Of course! I have always valued your opinion and can agree with you on a lot of things. You legit make good reasons for liking/not liking something about the game.
I'm not too surprised because it's the internet but with the new designs? No way. I love your art style and the evolution of it. Doesn't mean it needs to evolve with Capcom's new, weird ass style :3
Holy crap. I remembered your videos from way back with the Resident Evil musical. Glad to see you're still doing this.
Omg this was such a great video. I died of laughter at the troll comment bit. Love all your work leggy. And you're entitled to your opinion :) don't let anyone make you feel bad about it.
the lips on leon lol I was dying the entire time lol. and clair's lack of lips too lol
This is absolutely amazing! Great job! :D
Thanks so much!
Some people may not know this, but Capcom didn't start this remake it was originally started by some fans who decided to remake the game on the Unreal Engine 4 way before Capcom ever gave it a thought.
Yeah kind of bumbed with over the shoulder view. But still kind of stoked to play this new version. Would be really cool if classic view will be a option but that's wishful thinking.
Here's the issues I have with using REmake remaster's sales as a reason to why Capcom should have went for a near 1:1 remake with the original camera angles, etc. etc.
REmake remaster is what it is, a HD remaster, and it's one of a game that was a Nintendo exclusive for 13 years until the game was finally remastered. Many people never got the chance to play it because of that, and I'm sure when they saw that the game was available for a mere $20, they jumped at the opportunity. IMO, you can't compare the risk between re-releasing an established game that's been out for 13 years at the time RE2 remake was green-lit vs. making a full price triple A title in a similar manner as the former.
Zero remaster's sales paled in comparison to REmake's. The PS3 version of REmake remaster sold more copies than all versions of Zero remaster put together, just to put it into perspective. Overall, the sales did not share the same success, and it wasn't even close. I know that this was expected, but as I said above, people never had the opportunity to play what was arguably the best video game remake of all time.
Now, I definitely don't disagree that Capcom took it WAY too far with the "We Do It" campaign, and I'm certain they are aware of this. They honestly shouldn't have even announced that the project was green-lit to begin with.
Despite everything though, I want to thank you for still giving it a chance, and your opinion on a video game would never make me want to stop watching your videos. At the time I saw your videos for the first time in 2007, I only had played very little of REmake and 4 was the only Resident Evil I beat, and I never bothered with ANY of the other games from that point on. (I wasn't even aware REmake was even a remake!!) Your videos are what introduced to me to all the other games and got me hooked on this franchise for good, and gave me the interest to play and beat all of the classic titles. I thank you for this.
My counter argument is that the potential seemed astronomical to bring the HD Remastered style onto the RE Engine, and build it from the ground up. I'm sure even more improvement and modernization could've happened, without sacrificing the "spirit" or Resident Evil 2. But now, sadly, we'll probably never know.
While yes, RE0 Remastered was not as successful, that's simply because RE0 is not a good game compared to REmake. Not because of the camera or controls, but all of the other strange changes they made to the gameplay. It's essentially like comparing RE4 and RE5. One is loved, one is hated, and it's not because of the camera, but the other off-beat decisions that they decided to implement. Though I do agree that HD REmaster had the benefit of already being known to be an outstanding game, which also must've helped its sales.
And thank you, I really do appreciate your input and over all, I think you make a good point. That very well might've been what Capcom was thinking, among other things. I'm glad to hear that my videos could interest you in the series as well! If you get RE2make yourself, I hope you have a blast, and maybe you can try some of the older games someday, too!
@@ShadowLeggy You misunderstood what I said. I saw your videos in 2007, then went ahead and played the other games afterwards! I've beaten every main Resident Evil game with the exception of 6 because I refuse to play that game.
Oh sorry about that, in that case I'm glad you got to play all the originals! Also, fuck RE6. XP
@@josh07698 please don't say you played RE7...
This was great animation to showcase some of your thoughts on the game. Really enjoyed the joke about Claire and Leon "Lips" Kennedy's new designs; I must agree that they look odd now. I miss Claire's classic costume, too; though I think it's unlockable in some way.
I found your expanded thoughts in the document you linked as pretty interesting. I wasn't even aware of some of the stuff you pointed out; such as the yelling during combat (seriously, that *SHIIIIIIIT* from Leon is almost hilarious for how overblown it is for a single zombie).
Here's hoping that maybe it has more surprises or tweaks before the full release. I'm confident it'll be a good game; but I'm not sure if it'll be a good remake for Resident Evil 2.
Thanks, I'm glad to hear it! It seems to be a widely varying opinion on the redesigns, but for me, I started making this as soon as RE2make was revealed, so I based the look mainly on their poster images which are arguably worse-looking than the in-game models, weirdly enough. And yeah, Claire's "classic" outfit is free / unlockable.
It would be nice if some of those grievances were fixed by the time it's released, though it's only like a month away, so I wonder if it can be done. Hopefully it doesn't have to have the usual day-one patch like with previous games.
Shadow Leggy, just wanted to say your Numa song in 2006 and a few other of your songs is the reason I am obsessed in Resident Evil... I only recently realised that you are still uploading videos, I am keen to watch through them all and I am keen to see the video after you finish resident evil 2 remake.. I never got a chance to play the original resident evil 2 so I love this game, I knew the story from your songs and some wikis but I am so happy to get a chance to see the remake of this!.. Although I do understand that changing some of the best parts of the game its understandable to upset by it
I'm sure I and plenty of others appreciate your understanding! And it's just as well that newcomers get to experience RE2 in one way or another, and maybe it'll even inspire them to give the classic a try, if they can get their hands on it!
I can definitely see where you're coming from. My brother and I grew up with Resident Evil, and by extension, it's why I've followed your channel for about a decade or so. By the way, thanks for the quality content for the last 10 years.
But I don't even feel like this remake should be considered a remake. It's too far from the source material, and is more of a reimagining of the original game, and can be enjoyed as long as you try not to compare it to the original, which is kinda disappointing. In my honest opinion, I think it's an attempt to bring the games into the modern age to appeal to younger generations, which would be more profitable than catering to older fans. A tad disappointing, but I'll still enjoy it. After all, good Resident Evil games are more and more rare these days
Hey, sure thing. And thank you as well, it means a lot that you've kept up with my channel for all this time, and that you're still enjoying it :)
The sad thing about all this, is that it honestly isn't a remake, because when the Capcom's Brand manager was interviewed, he blatantly said as much: sta.sh/0178ea95ee8p Even though when the RE2make project was announced, it quite literally was called "Resident Evil 2 Remake", so yeah... we were lied to, and that's what pisses me off the most.
That being said, it is what it is. Like you said, they chose to backpedal and target the newer generations instead, and there really isn't anything that can be done. This was probably their last feasible chance to ever make a classic game, and they wasted it, so c'est la vie.
Omg Yes.... "I don't even feel like this remake should be considered a remake. It's too far from the source material" That line right there says it all.
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely going to play the hell out of it just to get my money's worth, and I'll enjoy it as long as I don't compare it to the original. Comparing it to the original would be like comparing my steak to Gordon Ramseys steak. Mine is good, sure, but that's Gordon Ramsey. Mine tastes like actual dirt compared to his expertly crafted steak experience. If that makes any sense at all
@@loganbrown6378 It makes sense no worries. I'm sure the game will be great in it's own ways. But yeah you really can't compare it to the original apart from certain aspects.
It's all good, people are allowed to do whatever they want with their money, and all the better that they get the most out of what they spend it on. I hope it'll be a fun experience :)
So I poured a lot of hours into this game before I was hyped up for RE8 and there are some notes I’ve made:
- Claire’s scenario is fucking hard
- Leon’s scenario is fun but also fucking hard
- Mr. X is a bitch to deal with
- Fuck William and Annette Birkin
- Why is Ada so sexy????
- I hate Chief Irons
- I hated Sherry’s Little Hide and Seek segment
- Fuck the Ghost Survivors (they’re frustratingly hard)
I can't blame you Leggy RE 2 was my favorite game also but when it comes to remakes now They make the game way different and change the characters appearance and Almost the who story line but until the game is fully released then we can give proper answers about the game But Like they always say don't judge an book by it's cover.
Definitely! If it's actually the serious horror experience they're promising, then I'm sure it'll be a good, if not great game.
Just now i noticed the ''I'm blue, If i was green i would die'' Piano cover on the background
Oh my God, a emotional shadowleggy video??
I agree with staying the same, but chin Leon and golfish mouthed Clair aren't my style XD
Shadow leggy, I love your work.
YOUR LITERALLY saying what I'm feeling. It would have been nice for a LITERAL remake like they did with the first.
I'm just glad they didn't make it RE4 Leon and made him Re2 Leon.
Love you Leggy! Please stay awesome!
Pssst ..by the way, I'm doing the tradition of watching the Christmas rumble again, *cheers* MER-RE-XMAS!
;3 see what I did there?
They had better said it will be a remastered and not a remake , but it looks cool even if not a remake
I havnt watched you in 5 or more years, and your animations are still great.
Also, you can play as a tofu. TOFU!!! Its even in the original RE2, YOU CAN PLAY AS A TOFU!!!
Holy shit, after watching so many videos about the RE2 remake this popped up in my recommended and I was immediately reminded of how much I loved your videos when I was younger. I’m glad to see you’re still making quality content after all of this time.
D'aww, thank you so much, and welcome back!
Que pedo con los labios de Leon :v
Parecen labios de mujer😂
Aleluya hay alguien que habla mi idioma, ah y por sierto estoy aquí sólo por los musicales 7u7
Es por el nuevo diseño de niño modelo en pasarelas , cambiaron demasiado los diseños 😤 , en mi opinion lo diseños de dark side chronicles son mucho mejores.
Los amo :v
Son muy descentes ya que aún no le echan mierd@ a nada 7u7
Brightness comtrol... Man i feel old.
After perfect REmake getting over the should camera in Not-a-REmake2 feels like backstab.
I really dislike these people that call you whiny and entitled just because you don't like something.
All I wanted was giving Fixed Camera a new chance, buuut nope RE4 with arrows pointing at everything it is.
Hopefully, at least the arrows can be turned off.
One very positive thing tho, is that the original soundtrack is available as an option and Ada can take that stupid trenchcoat off
just a shame they couldn't have the classic voice lines as a option.
Ada took her coat off in one of the newest videos, she looks amazing !!
Forgive me for my ignorance, but I don't remember any arrows giving me directions in RE4. I remember a general path, but thats it.
@@rahumor7556
I meant it as Resident Evil 4 *with* *the* *addition* of arrows pointing everywhere, namely Item, doors, interactable objects etc.
@JackOfen: Though I've gotten the occasional remark about being entitled, I've seen it happen much more to other people in general. Just take a look at any comments on Resident Evil's FB page - Anyone who expresses disappointment in RE2make, are met with a slew of hateful comments far worse than the satire seen in this video.
@Jonathon Lundin: For me, it's mainly the "indicators" that are placed on top of everything. A giant cartoon arrow hovering over items, puzzles, drawers, doors... it completely kills the immersion and challenge. And I remember RE6 literally did have an arrow you could activate to show you exactly where you needed to go... let's hope RE2make doesn't have that, either.
I don't want to have a bias either way from the start, so I've been avoiding spoilers, reviews, and especially gameplay videos. Currently, I don't know enough about the changes to have any strong opinions, so my plan is going fairly well. My friends are talking about the game, and I must admit that it's strong motivation to try it for myself. I'll probably pick it up later this month or next month.
That's a long time to leave an RE itch unscratched. Revisiting your channel is a real nostalgia trip. Your videos hold up as well today as they did a decade ago. It's great that you're still around and still making content! Best wishes in 2019!
I managed to go in the same way for the most part, and I strongly recommend it. You'll probably have a much better time that way.
And I'm glad you're still enjoying my stuff! That being said, the next video/review will be about RE2make, so you may wanna avoid it until you get to play it yourself :P
@@ShadowLeggy
Glad to hear it! Incidentally, that's one more reason for me to buy it a bit earlier than I originally planned.
Ada... Ada Wong. ^^
At least I'm not alone in having a lot of fears about this remake, at the level of what has been shown so far.
Pray for not too disappointed.
RE2 was my first Resident Evil game and when they announced the remake i was extremely overjoyed. But when Claire's original voice actor, Alison Court said the studio decided to go non-union and not cast her as Claire's voice, I felt extremely betrayed. I could've do my best to adjust to the new face' design' capcom wanted to go with as long as it was the Claire Redfield I knew from heart but that's not happening. I honestly want to give RE2 a chance, but I think my expectations for it is hanging by a thread.
The union stuff really does suck. I feel like a company as big as Capcom could've pulled some strings to get her on board, especially since she openly wished to reprise the role.
Is there someone more who think Leon's lips are funny.? 😂😂😂🤣
Something about hearing Nick scream "Asshole!" made me giggle.
Dat ending tho 😂😂😂 Called out!
Can we stop and appreciate how beautiful this video is? But I will say I’m glad their faces ain’t staying that way in your videos 😂 Seriously, and that brightness down thing was kinda cool. Can’t say I’ve seen that in an animation.
You’re right, can’t really say for sure if it’ll suck hard or not. Personally, I haven’t been too hyped about a new RE game in years, so I’m pretty much used to just waiting it out and giving it a “meh” or never even playing it. I will be playing this though, I wanna see if it’s at least fun. Aside from the reveal trailer I haven’t really watched anything else about the game. I kinda like to be surprised about new releases and actually experience them blind. Might be cool to see what story elements have changed. For better or for worse! Definitely a let down at this point it doesn’t look as cool as REmake did.
P.S. I’m psyched to see Ghost Love Score made it onto your main channel!
The sad thing is, I went easy on ol' TrueREfan98. I've seen considerably more horrible comments both towards me, and others who showed even a hint of disappointment in RE2make. So yeah, fuck those people. XD
And yo, THANKS! I figured there were gonna be a fair amount of static poses, so I focused a lot on smaller animations like eyes, mouths, and hair. And I got to go all-out with using the royalty free stock images and effects, they really help the video pop I think, unless anyone finds them too stock-looking. But so far, no complaints!
It's honestly pretty insane how many screenshots and videos they're releasing about RE2make. Like, to a point where they're apparently revealing most of the game. Some people have even been calling the latest footage "The Spoiler Video", like the fuck is you doing, Capcom? It's one thing to show off a game's capabilities, but damn.
And yeah for sure, REmake is literally the best, nearly-perfect remake of a game I've ever played (Spyro Reignited looks fucking great, too) so it'll forever be a disappointment that they'll never fully realize what and RE2make could've really been.
They don't consider this a remake. They want people to see this as the 2019 version of RE2.
Yeah, they've since admitted this after the fact of advertising it as a "Remake".
I think it's fair to say this kind of reaction is unreasonable. If you were expecting a fixed camera style, as if that would fix every problem in the game, but still keep it a good game for the intended audience, it's not reasonable. I love resident evil 2, it's my favorite game. But it's 2019, and Capcom knows how fixed cameras would work in a modern setting. It wouldn't work. The modern gaming audience would hate the camera style, and would hate the controls. Behind the back isn't my favorite part of resident evil either, but it's what will make the game sell copies. From what I've played of the demo, it feels like they really knew how to keep the "scares", while also reaching another audience. If I can still get a good game, and more over, move on from the original resident evil style, I think I can be happy.
The game looks like a great game, regardless of the vision Capcom had. And Mr X looks lit with the fedora, he looks like a neck beard. Which is hilarious.
If the classic style of Resident Evil was dead, I don't think REmaster would've become their fastest best-selling digital game of all time. Not only that, but REmaster also proved that the classic style could be given new options for players who don't like tank controls, including an all-new analog scheme. If they could do that in an HD remaster, the possibilities of further implementing options into a brand-new title and engine are almost limitless.
That's not to say the RE4 style _isn't_ popular obviously, since the reaction is still mostly positive. It's just a shame that they essentially promised a follow up to REmaster, but instead decided to cater to RE4. It is what it is, but being disappointed about being lied to is _not_ unreasonable, I'm afraid. I don't think it's going to be a _bad_ game, it's just not the game I was told we would get.
Further explanation here:
drive.google.com/file/d/1cOpk9F-TkqqRI5dNZVekJUVJWm8_YXlV
So far, it very much seems to be the game you were told you were going to get.
If we’re going to be technical, REmake was actually more of a modernized version of the RE formula at the time and this formula was then used for Zero afterwards then RE4 happened and changed the series forever. So, it’s not exactly a weird thing for the devs to take a version of the RE formula that’s popular now and polish it up to make an even better experience that’s faithful to the experience of the original. REmake wasn’t even a 1:1 remake, it added as well as expanded upon many aspects that made it its own thing.
Remake never means remaster, so enough with the lame “betrayal” and “lied to” nonsense.
From my perspective, a faithful reimagining that does its own thing is more inspired over a boring 1:1 remake that’s only interested in catering toward nostalgia.
Yeah, right with you Leggy.
An old friend of mine was fortunate to play a sample of the game and he was underwhelmed.
Over the shoulder, so dark you're forced to use a flashlight in most rooms, and some redesigned characters, might as well be Resident Evil 8.
I know it's harsh but I'll withhold more negative comments until the game is released, maybe we'll be surprised maybe not.
Side note: I'll never unsub from your channel, Merry Christmas.
🎄🎄🎄
How your buddy did imagine an Apocalypsis? flowers? , Christmas lights?
@@lumikriste7815
As long as Raccoon City isn't nuked maybe more of the city and Arklay mountains can be explored.
By the way love your videos and your art
I'm personally very confident on what they've shown. Sure there's no more fixed camera angles but it looks like they work a lot on the light and darkness to bring new ways to scare players.
Not to mention how much more tense hide and seek will be with Mr.X.
I just hope we'll be all pleasantly surprised in the end. ;)
We all feel with you Leggy. We only wish for Resident Evil 2 to get the proper love that it deserves, and that means proper feedback and such.
I literally didnt know about this till I saw the video, the title made me suddenly get a burst of energy and excitement even though its past midnight and I raced to the google to find out about it because I grew up with this game and 1/3, then saw some stuff that worried me then came back, your reaction and the explaination are exactly how I feel after a few minutes of looking at it all, I am pretty heartbroken that they managed to do it so right in the RE1 remake but suddenly with this seem to have done it so wrong at first glance.
I pray it will work out, but the simple fact they got rid of the little things that made the game what it was like the costume design, the static camera system (and not being over shoulder...), heck even the little sparkles of "item here" has truely saddened me.
The fact they have gone back to do it at least gives me hope that we will see other remakes of classic capcom games at least and I might enjoy this 1, but I dont know, I didnt play resident evil for a shooter, they just completely changed the genre.
Damn, well I'm really sorry that you had to find out so suddenly, only to be disappointed as well. it's really not fun feeling pessimistic about the whole thing, but with the track record of the previous OTS games combined with just how perfect the original REmake was, the whole situation just really feels sucky.
I do hope that by some miracle, it does work out, though I worry my disappointment is already too deep in to feel much differently. Like, I'll give the game a try, I just really doubt it'll sway my feelings... but we'll see. I hope it'll go well for you, also.
Cmon it can't be worse than re6 right? riiight?
that the thing it not gonna be like 6. 6 was pure action RE2 is gonna be classic survival horror with limited ammo etc.
Thing is, RE6 was advertised as a "return to horror"... in fact, this was a trend with basically every single OTS title. Advertised as horror, final product is nothing but action. So as you can imagine, my hopes for RE2make are pretty low... but we'll just have to see the final product to say for sure.
people keep ignoring 7 like never happened lol and keep mentioning 6 which was garbage. 7 was a more survival horror than the last resident evil since 2.
@@SyLuX636 That what you called fake fans but also get this they say 7 is trash but they quick to defend RE 4/5/6 but say nothing about RE 0/1/2/3/CV which 7 is like RE1 but just in first person
@@SyLuX636 I don't know why RE6 is even being mentioned when REmake 2 is using RE7 as a base to build off of.
C'mon Leggy, how many likes do you need for "The Worst Spy Ever 2"?
You'll probably take your opinion back since its basically "They changed the designs so it's bad"
I don't hate you for this, but that's pretty BS especially if you act as if you were the only one who grew up with the originals. We were waiting for some good RE for years now, almost when every new game tries to please a certain fan-base, another will complain.
It happened with RE6, and it happened with RE7 (which btw, did go back to the roots, and I'm not talking about camera or B.O.W.s but the essence) and now (thank god) this Remake is making the original game even scarier by having things like randomized T-00 Encounters is something to really appreciate.
I don't like Claire's new outfit and "classic with cleavage" outfit either, but the game itself is looking and playing much better than the original and it sure as hell deserves the attention it's getting since I'm sick of all other generic games and their fuss. They are doing what they couldn't do back in the day and the fact they're revisiting scrapped/unused ideas just says all about their enthusiasm with this project. Same goes for coated Ada (which is an original 1998 unused concept and she only wears it during her initial appearance to match with her spy persona) and T-00 with a hat (another unused concept, but you can shoot off the hat if it bothers you that much) and Leon can wear his original outfit for free if that also bothers you that much.
But at the end of the day you must admit the idea of having this with fixed cameras, heck even with an option, was completely ignored by Capcom. (which I can thoroughly explain is definitely doable)
Literally everywhere you went for over a decade that would be brought up. I still remember on Facebook when on Capcom's official Resident Evil page said they would remake RE2 and Capcom asked the fans how they should remake the game and the most upvoted responses were to have fixed camera.
Sure everything else was taken into account but when you go so long fighting for having this remade in that way and they couldnt figure it out? They are a multi million dollar company! Ive seen modders be able to do this such as Rod Lima and he is one guy with zero budget.
It was a deliberate decision to not include fixed camera and how can that not hurt as a fan knowing you were actively ignored.
I never claimed to be the only one who grew up with this game, I'm simply emphasizing that this is my own personal opinion and not some unbiased, professional review. Also, if you think my only grievance with RE2make is that "they changed the designs" then you clearly didn't read the text document that accompanies this video, or simply chose to ignore what was written:

I am still little bit sad they didn't put Alyson to play Claire.. ):
Oh, and thank you for putting awesome face/worst spy Ada in the end!
Same, it hurts especially because she _wanted_ to reprise the role :\
Shadow leggy Is very beatiful

Is truth hahahaha
NeoShenlong00X Kyc prro. Leggy siempre será linda por lo que nos ha dado a lo largo de los años jaja.
Fair play on how you handled this. When I heard they were remaking RE2 all of my friends decided to instantly hate on it since it’s a remake and after how the recent Resident Evil games like 6 for being terrible (I didn’t mind 7 but I did lose interest of it, so please don’t take any offence to any 7 fans out there) but seeing the gameplay clip of Claire fighting William G-virus mutation it did give me a bit of hope of how Resident Evil 2 should be played as. My one main issue is the voice actor for Claire is not being more scared enough when she sees Birkin when he’s infected by the G-virus, overall I really am looking forward to it!
Cada um tem a sua opinião sobre o novo jogo, muitos não gostaram e muitos gostaram, mas não podemos tirar idéias precipitadas sendo que o jogo ainda nem saiu direito, então eu respeito a opinião de cada um e espero que a minha também seja respeitada de volta.
Leggy, I saw your speech to be motivational and heartwarming, so yeah maybe we'll get the the best remake, regardless of its new direction.

Leon: Asshole!
Do a Face Reveal!!
VillRezint Or a face reveal of her back in 2009, when the RE animations were at their peak :P
The first Resident Evil I played was RE2 years ago on the PS1 and I finished it and I loved it. RE2 is one of my favorite Resident Evil games. RE2 was also the very first video game I ever played. And then when RE4 first came out and I played it I liked the over the shoulder camera way more than fixed camera angles, and i'm not bad at the fixed camera angle Resident Evil games or anything, once you get used to the play style of the fixed camera angle ones I actually think they are really easy and easier than the over the shoulder Resident Evil games actually. (I'm not bad at the over the shoulder Resident Evil games or anything either I just think when compared to the fixed camera angle Resident Evil games the fixed camera angle ones are easier once you get used to the play style of them). So I think the fixed camera angle ones play fine so i'm fine with the fixed camera angle Resident Evil games, I just still prefer and enjoy the over the shoulder camera way more. When RE4 first came out and I played it (I had bought a GameCube just to play it) I just really like the over the shoulder camera and thought it was a huge improvement over the fixed camera angle Resident Evil games. So I am so happy the RE2 Remake is over the shoulder and not fixed camera angles honestly.
That's completely understandable! I don't think one style of camera is objectively better than the other, it just comes down to preferences, like you said. If anything, to me the different style of camera completely changes the gameplay, and thus is basically a different genre all together, so it makes even more sense that some folks prefer one over the other.
You know what would have been cool? A semi fixed camera like what they did with the Beta of Resident Evil 4, let me explain: the camera moves around the character during the exploration (giving the creepy sensation that something is following you) and during the fights, the camera would move over the shoulder... Check the videos on YT to understand what i'm talking about
That could've been pretty interesting. There was a very low-budget game called Cold Fear which did this, and for what it was, it was actually able to pull off some cool and creepy stuff with that style. It's just a shame the small budget affected the game a bit, and I'm sure a AAA multi-million dollar company could pull it off spectacularly. But I guess we'll never know, unfortunately.
That Would of been a perfect middle ground if they took their time. Would of been pretty innovative to.
@@ShadowLeggy Look up Resident Evil Code: MADMAN by ShiguWorks, it's a fanmade recreation of RE 3.5
Ok, I saw the trailer with ada and now....I don't think her character is gonna tickle my fancy like her original does....I'm kinda disappointed, but I can't judge yet
I agree... my friends are shitting on me for it too it sucks. Its just a direction i expected but wished didnt happen... none the less it looks like they are doing everything they can to make the atmosphere completely terrifying... personally i cant be scared by a game Unless its the classic re camera... anything else is just too... predictable. But from the gameplay ive seen, you might as well be shooting their legs as headshots dont matter (like in original) and funny quirks like dodging seem to either be short of impossible, or impossible this time around... fingers crossed it just gives rise to a proper Resident evil 8... or reboot... i need my wesker back
Gotta add the character designs are god awful... everyone looks so... fake.
I do hope that when they say they're going to make this an actual horror game, that they mean it. Every single other previous OTS title are decidedly action games through and through {despite being advertised otherwise), and I'd just hate to see the same awful thing happen to Resident Evil 2.

As a long time fan of resident evil, I have to say, that the resident evil 2 remake is the one I'm most torn about. I would have loved to see something akin to an evolution from the first remake on the gamecube, but this is still just a divergence from it. But, its not a completely different experience from the resident we all know it seems. Its just that despite those elements that we do love about resident evil being present, I can't help but feel that people will not notice. Newcomers will praise the game for its gore, its weapons system, its graphics, and maybe even its interface. But, they may not notice what made resident evil so great as a horror and storytelling experience, its wonderful directing . People miss the point of why some fans miss the fixed camera angles, and its as simple as what made older final fantasy games feel so much larger in scope than they do today. Having a fixed camera allowed for directing the players focus on certain scenes throughout the game, which told the player where their attention should be drawn and provided a window to see the world the way the writers and artist intended. One might argue that the lack of freedom in this is a problem, but this is exactly what movies do, hell even on stage plays do this. (Imagine being literally placed in the universe of Othello the Moor instead of watching from the audience. You might not even know if Othello even existed.) It was all for the sake of presenting the world of resident evil, but also establishing the best way possible to experience it as well. Sure, they do this now, but just not the extent they once did.
Now, I'm not arguing that a good resident evil game has to have a fixed camera in order to be a "real" resident evil game, (although I would like this). I just don't think the direction its going really focuses on these elements like the originals. Instead of making enemies ultra grotesque and limiting visibility to provide anxiety, I think they should have instead found ways to reimagine the feeling that the resident evil 2 provided, basically the same thing they did with the first remake. I mean it when I say that you can make just about anything in any scenario scary if its directed well enough. It doesnt take fixed camera angles, it takes the ability to play with the players own fears and Interest that they already have within.
To finish, I just think Capcom will notice praise for already tried and true modern game mechanics, which will once again yield a resident evil sequel that is unrecognizable from what we know. Such a shame they seem afraid to show newcomers to the series why we loved it so much in the first place.
Well, I'll just keep it short and say that I completely get where you're coming from. Regardless of the majority praising it, I can still see why this is still yet another divisive game in the franchise, and there's no shame in feeling one way or the other about it. Honestly, it's a lot to take in for a fan.
The hell happened to Leon? XD
He got a double chin for some reason...
Cleft chin actually

ShadowLeggy was a part of childhood (so to speak) and now, after I don't know how many years, this video appears in my suggestions... it feels good to be back.
I hope that the game can have a "classic mode", with fixed camera angles to get that old school RE vibe, and if that's not possible then I sure someone is gonna make a mod for it XD
Leon is so... BEATIFUL :V
I read the bio first and yeah, like you i don't want to make my opinion yet, maybe it's a good game or not, it's to soon for that.
¡Great video!
1:31 look Sherry XD
I'm just waiting for RE3 Remake, hope they don't turn Nemesis skin into clay like in Op Raccoon City.
I really want re3 remastered along with outbreak file 1&2. Please capcom remaster them
S.T.A.R.S!
Before I really comment on the re2 REmake I just want to say, Leggeh, its been so awesome to still see you posting animations. Ive been watching ever since Resident Evil Numa.
Switching gears...
I for one like the direction they're going with with the REmake. I honestly see a lot of RE 1.5 inspiration mixed in with what we got from the original RE2 for this remake. I for one am really looking forward to the moments when we explore the streets more than any other area in the game.
Thank you so much for sticking with me!
I should add onto the document that I do like how they're taking some inspiration from Resident Evil 1.5. I think that's genuinely cool, and I know a lot of people, myself included, wanted to see some of that implemented.
Read your great opinion piece, and I mostly feel the same way, but I do think that a RE4/RE7 style remake of RE2 is better than none at all. But yeah, I do feel a slight sadness thinking that it (RE2 remake) could have been done in classic style like the REmake.
