If Capcom did a remake of Resident Evil 2...

...that played like REmake, would you still want it, even after playing Resident Evil 4?

I had thought that after RE4 I could never go back to the older games, but I started replaying REmake the other day and found myself still really enjoying it. I'd love to see some version of RE2 on the GC (if only to complete my collection), but I don't think it would feel right if it was done in the RE4 engine. RE2 was also my previous favorite in the series, and I'd like to think it's still playable.
 
Heh, I JUST finished a nice session with the REmake and I still find it enjoyable. I'd definetly go for an RE2 remake.
 
A Resident Evil 2 remake with the Resident Evil 4 engine would be fantastic, since RE3.5 used the same kind of viewpoint as the older games but ran on the same engine as the final version of RE4. If Capcom had any brains, they'd put their amazing RE4 engine to good use and remake RE2. Or if worse comes to worse, they can use an improved version of the Outbreak engine.
 
I would love a Remake of Resident Evil 2 if it was in old style or new style. Both would be excellent. I thought I read somewhere that they would never do another remake though, because it was such a pain in the ass to do the first one.
 
Um. No. Make 5 instead. Why remake and divert resources. If there was a machine that could not inflict penalities and DEV time, yes. But the reality of the situation is that.


I'D RATHER HAVE RE5.
 
RE2 in the style of Code Veronica (no over the shoulder camera, but still 3D environments) is what I would like. Keep in mind that RE2 isn't the action game that RE4 is.
 
With the next generation's capabilities, I might rather see 3D backgrounds, but I still dig the static ones too. I loved both GC REs.
 
They should add an annoying bitch sidekick who doesn't do anything but gets taken away by zombies or something to automatically end the game, that's my favorite part of RE4
 
Absolutely. RE4 may be completely awesome, but I still have a soft spot for the old Resident Evils. I'm STILL scared to play Resident Evil (Rebirth).
 
It might be cooler to see an RE2 remake way further down the line. I'm sure it would be welcomed, even by me, but I think Capcom should give the remaking a rest and focus on the future a little bit more. 'Cuz when they did last time, we got RE4. And that game's good I hear.
 
YES! Long as it was like REmake. Tho I'd rather it didn't use the new RE4 formula. RE2's gameplay should stay the way it is. The pre RE4 games should keep the old RE formula. I agree tho that a 3D nonprerendered engine would be best. Think Code Veronica on steroids.

No, you were right on the $$ the first time :)
Actually, I think quickie ports of REmake and Zero would be pretty good for PSP. It might help move the PS2 audience over since they never got them and it's be a nice PR steal from Nintendo. Outbreak too would obviously lend itself to the platform well.
