Resident Evil 2 Remake: What's Changed and Why It Matters

As we approach its fifth anniversary, Resident Evil 2 has undergone a major transformation. Originally released as part of the survival horror series' remastering project back in January 2019, Capcom decided to give this classic title another makeover with an all-new remake.

In our previous coverage, we highlighted some key differences between the original game and its re-release. However, since then, several updates have been rolled out that address many of these concerns while also bringing along a host of fresh features.

So what exactly has changed in Resident Evil 2 Remake? In this article, we'll dive into all the major modifications made to both gameplay and presentation.

Graphical Overhaul

One area where most fans will notice the greatest difference is graphically. The original game's blocky pre-rendered environments have been replaced with beautifully detailed polygons that rival modern AAA titles in terms of quality.

From the cobblestone streets of Raccoon City to the dimly lit corridors beneath Umbrella’s sinister facility, every inch has received a thorough facelift. Character models too have undergone significant revamps – Leon and Claire now look more like their respective game counterparts rather than simple recolors.

Gameplay Tweaks

Beyond just looking pretty though, Resident Evil 2 Remake also introduces several gameplay tweaks aimed at making the experience feel more contemporary.

For instance, inventory management has been overhauled to better accommodate modern sensibilities. Players can now carry a larger number of items in their pockets rather than having to constantly retreat back to safe houses or hidden areas whenever they need something essential.

Additionally, combat mechanics have also received an overhaul with new dodge moves and counterattacks added into the mix – all designed to make taking down hordes of undead feel more fluid and satisfying.

Other changes include improved AI behavior for non-playable characters (NPCs) which now seem more responsive than ever before. Even simple actions like walking past civilians will no longer cause them suddenly stop dead in their tracks anymore.

Overall, while these updates may not completely revolutionize the Resident Evil experience per se they do help bring this classic survival horror title into modern times – making it an absolute must-play for fans old and new alike.

Resident Evil 7 has certainly made waves within the survival horror community since its release. With a fresh take on gameplay mechanics, graphically enhanced environments, and a host of DLC content to sink your teeth into - there's never been a better time to experience this iconic franchise than now.
