Resident Evil 2 Remake Wishlist

-A new engine. The original Resident Evil was released in 1998. Needless to say, graphics have improved drastically since then and RE2RE is gonna have to play catchup. Resident Evil 2 with 2017 graphics sounds beautiful

-More effects. All monsters, characters, and in-game items should be modernized, but stay true to the original game. Think about how Resident Evil 1 Remake added so many lightning effects, reflections, water, flying bugs/flies and other minor particle effects that only compliment the game. I think the prerendered background effects should also carry over to RE2RE because the charm of Resident Evil is lost without them, but they should absolutely be presented in 2017 graphics considered fixed camera angles are sadly a thing of the past at this point. Make Resident Evil 2 great again, but don't make it a different game

-In terms of content/extra content, it would be ideal if RE2RE carries over all of the story material from the beloved original game, but with much, much, much more. Extra rooms, passages, cinematic sequences, monsters, files, kerosene, and overall content to make the project worth our time. All of those were featured in REmake, so it would be cheap if they were absent from RE2RE. Think about how all the concepts and property were handled in REmake, so wonderfully with such an attention to detail, but also nothing too crazy that would totally disrespect fans of the original game. The rooms, angles, files, and lighting was just all so expertly done. These concepts should definitely carry over to RE2RE. Make it very inspired by classic monster movies

-Crimson Heads. Crimson Heads were an absolutely terrific feature added to the RE universe courtesy of REmake. Crimson Heads made the necessary backtracking of the game even more frightening, which is the way it should be. I don't want Crimson Heads to miss out on RE2RE

-More storytelling elements. Remember Lisa Trevor in REmake? Another brilliant addition to the game. Lisa Trevor's story was so good in REmake that there were times you thought the entire game could be about her, and had to almost remind yourself that she is only the sideshow and not the main event, and that means there was remarkable storytelling involved

-More additions to the map. Think about the cabin in REmake and how that was a significant addition to the game's map. In the year 2017 video games are more extensive than ever, and it really can't be denied that RE2RE is going to have to need a lot of 2017 punch to it, because strict carryover from the original game will not win over new fans

-Enhance Resident Evil 2's cutscenes without disrespecting them. Remember the iconic Kenneth scene in Resident Evil which was later enhanced by REmake without them going overboard and reinventing it? So good. I want RE2RE to feature longer cutscenes, I think it would really contribute to the Resident Evil universe

-More doors and more rooms to make the game more strategic. This falls in line with my philosophy, enhance the game without disrespecting it

-Give our character more reason to explore Raccoon City outside, try to limit how much the police station shelters us

-2017 graphics

-Capcom, please stay as true to the original Resident Evil 2 as humanly possible, but definitely make the graphics on par with 2017 and contemporary engines. Make the graphics in RE2RE even better than what they were in REmake. Resident Evil 2 was sheer greatness, but that was then, and this is now 2017

VR MODE.

It doesn't even need to be VR in first person. Fixed camera angles can also work in VR, check out Chronos for an example

Also, keep the gore level. If I can't shoot zombies in half, or their legs off, or their head off ...I'll honestly be quite disappointed.

Pretty much on board with most of it, except the Crimson Heads. They were great in the original, because you'd run into 1-3 in a room or hallway. There are some spots in the RPD you'd run into 5 or more. That'd be over the top.

More storytelling elements for sure. Expand on Irons - make him have more of a role. Maybe a few survivors. A thing I liked in Resident Evil 3, was encountering survivors briefly even if you couldn't save them.

I want it to play exactly like REmake. My buddy wants third-person over the shoulder, but I want my tank controls and fixed cameras.

Everything else sounds ok but regarding extra content I just don't know. The Trevor family from Resident Evil 2002 was cut content and it feels logical to add them to a remake. I just don't know if RE2 has that much cut content. Maybe if they add things from RE1.5, otherwise I don't know. Might also depend on when they actually plan to ship it.

the game will definitely have extra contents, similar to REmake, they cannot simply make the game just by improving graphics. Trust me on this. 100% there will be A LOT OF extra content/files/dialog/cutsecenes/monsters and even more...

I think Capcom are fully capable of doing a by the numbers remake because that is what people want. Well, that's kind of what they are gonna get.

After REVII i bet a lot of people will just want RE2 to be just like RE7!

And it's somewhat a shame, camerawork can make/break a project and a fixed angle really allows a storyteller to take advantage of making the player focus on a specific image they may miss with a full 3D camera.

Y...you do know that's what a remake is anyway, right? All remakes overhaul the graphics. You might be confusing it with a remaster which polishes up the resolution mainly and a few textures here and there.

I guess they could add in all that stuff that happened between ada and derek simmons now right?

I agree with most of your points. Some things I personally want:

-option to play fixed camere angles or 3rd person -costumes for Leon and Claire -an extra mode, that adds replayability -make combat a bit more interesting. Don't add thousand of features, but maybe add a dodge function and a very weak melee attack and make enemies stronger and more agressive therefore. -good voice acting -effective use of light//dark and great sound effects.

OPTIONAL: I don't think something like that would be included, but it could be fun Re4 mode: Unlocked after you've beaten the game: Add more melee attacks and enemies and makes the game more action heavy.
