hey guys Ricky here from WatchMojo and
today we’ll be exploring the biggest
changes happening in the Resident Evil 2
remake from the graphics to the story
we’ll be looking at how the original
1998 Resident Evil 2 has evolved and
improved for the highly anticipated 2019
remake now on to the list number 7
zombie AI the original game had a habit
of sending zombies after Leone enlarged
shambling waves but don’t expect that in
the remake there are less zombies
overall but the zombies themselves are
much more formidable you’ll need to
plant multiple perfect headshots to get
them to go down while conserving the
most ammo which of course is key they’re
also smarter and have a habit of busting
through the RPGs window if Leon or
Claire don’t board them up so players
had better take the time to secure their
environment properly if they don’t want
to waste more ammo and resources further
down the line to top it off they can
even grab the player if they let them
get a little bit too close and you’ll
need a combat knife to escape this
deadly embrace unscathed when it comes
to the undead hordes Capcom have really
number six more Marvin Marvin Rana Leon
Kennedy one thing the original game
didn’t do a great job of was fleshing
out its characters outside of Leon and
Claire many secondary characters had
very little screen time and
unfortunately shoddy voice acting at
least in the English version about two
months ago there was this incident
involving zombies Marvin Branagh
originally serves the plot by giving
Leon or Clare a key card before sealing
himself in a room to become a zombie
later on but the remake sees him become
a full-fledged supporting character he
aids the player more than once first
pulling Leon through a narrow vent with
a zombie clawing at him from the other
end bestowing upon him the combat knife
as well as some valuable plot exposition
and then he sticks around for more brand
new cutscenes later on while the grisly
wound he’s nursing is surely an
indicator that he’ll have the same
unpleasant demise as his 1998
counterparts players will enjoy the
opportunity to get to know him a bit
more and it’ll make it all the more
brutal when he meets this tragic fate
and don’t make my mistake if you see one
of those things uniform or not you do
not hesitate number five gore
fresh graphics and new developers have
led to a huge increase in the level of
gore in Resident Evil 2 while the
original has no shortage of blood and
guts it’s unfortunately just pixelated
polygons to modernize the revamp will
see even veteran gamers sick to their
stomachs which is exactly how you want
to feel when playing a Resident Evil
game officer Elliott meets a gruesome
end when he’s ripped in half early on
and one corpse Leon finds in a hallway
now has his head sliced into segments by
the RPGs monstrous inhabitants it’s not
only the aesthetics which have been
kicked up a notch though there’s also
realistic damage modelling on the
enemies meaning that when you shoot
someone in the face with a shotgun their
head is damaged in a realistic way flesh
is left hanging off the remaining bones
as the shamblers keep coming until you
[Music]
since anyone who’s played the original
game more than once will have memorized
all the puzzle solutions key locations
and where the best items are stashed
capcom decided to switch all that up for
the remake to keep gamers on their toes
already we’ve seen that the goddess
statue puzzle in the RPG lobby has a
completely different solution with three
metals to collect throughout the station
rather than just one it also won’t grant
players the Spade key anymore instead
you’ll find that in an office on one of
the upper floors the shotgun has also
moved locations you now don’t get it
from the cowardly gun store owner but
instead discovered in the brand new
safety deposit room along with that is
the combat knife now used to escape
zombie grapples and open certain taped
up boxes to put it simply everything you
thought you knew about Resident Evil 2
probably won’t be of any use to you this
time around you can get to that
courtyard through the second floor
decide I’m on it
while Resident Evil 2 deserves to be
brought into the modern era
it’s tank controls should be left behind
in the 90s where they belong
the remake will see a welcome update of
the awkward movement and there won’t be
any more static cameras instead players
can move the camera around as they
the updated controls mean that the
combat has also been updated it’s now
much easier to aim and fire properly
with standard over-the-shoulder
third-person gunplay while there will
still be some people out there very
attached to the old style of playing the
update to the gameplay will definitely
encourage new people to jump in even
longtime Resident Evil fans will
appreciate this update since it’s now in
while Marvin gets some more screen time
in the pre-release gameplay demos we’ve
seen so far
one other memorable character has so far
been given a lot less gamers will
remember the first licker scuttling past
a downstairs window before crawling
towards Leon or Clare on the ceiling but
it’s no longer found in that same
corridor traces of it are discovered all
over the walls and on the corpses but it
just doesn’t show itself there’s some
suggestion that this may be a bait and
switch but it’s not the only event
that’s been completely changed but nah
there’s also officer Elliott who now
drops a new puzzle clue for Leon and
Cherie finding herself kidnapped in the
RPD parking lot by Brian Irons instead
of just running off some people even
speculate that the game’s whole opening
might have changed as well as the
sequence in kendos gun shop now occurs
after leaving the RPD on route to the
sewer as opposed to the original where
the gun shop was the first building the
players entered how are you what are you
it only makes sense that players will
get to experience Resident Evil 2’s 21
year legacy with 21 years of graphical
improvements still Capcom have gone all
out to produce a full remake from the
ground up using their homegrown re
engine in only its second outing since
the wildly successful Resident Evil 7
the re engine is sure to be pushed to
its limits this time around on top of
the stomach-churning Gore mechanics the
updated graphics make for a much more
atmospheric game the Lightning effects
and Leon’s flashlights make every
shadowy hallway or dark room a tense
experience even Leon himself has had a
visual update his character model now
reflects his status as a young rookie
cop and he feels like a more relatable
and fallible character and the much
improved voice acting certainly doesn’t
go amiss thanks lieutenant
