As seen in the handful of gameplay clips below, those looking forward to the Resident Evil 2 remake can catch glimpses of the aforementioned Ms. Wong in an incognito getup, Leon stepping up to a typewriter to presumably save a game, and the RCPD rookie confronting a zombie. What’s more is that the last two gameplay segments touch on the remake’s take on classic RE2 moments in which Leon encounters a Doberman Pinscher infected with the T-Virus for the first time, and his visit to the Gun Shop.
Since the above clips for the Resident Evil 2 remake don’t do too much to fully sate the appetite of those who are hungry for a feast of footage, as previously mentioned, Capcom has already put out a decent portion of videos that show off some of the content to come. One of the more satisfying offerings comes from the publisher and developer demoing the game to show off roughly 16 minutes of gameplay featuring Leon exploring the police station.
All things considered, the Resident Evil 2 remake definitely appears to be shaping up into something special, as Capcom has already explained that it doesn’t see it as a remake at all, with the studio viewing it as “a new game built on top of the [original’s] foundation”. Plus, with the current-gen RE2 having won Best of Show at E3 2018–an accomplishment previously achieved by Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild–fans should rest easy that Capcom will do right by the 1998 version of the title.
Resident Evil 2 releases on January 25, 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
