Resident Evil 2 Remake - Preview

August 2015.

That's when it was confirmed a full-blooded remake was in development.

On the 25th of this month, the wait will finally be over.

(Pinch me).

Despite the amount of videos posted online, I've managed to avoid every bastard one.

I wonder why?

Here's the bare bones basics.

Gameplay

Action is over-the-shoulder (a la Resi 4).

Wet gore

Official terminology?

Whatever, but one thing's for certain, enemies will react to taking damage in real time.

HOLY SHIT!

Scenarios

As per original, Leon and Claire must survive two nightmares, but will shit have the same impact?

Okay, that's all I know.

Personal demands

Unrelenting terror, palpable tension.

Intelligent jump scares.  Preferably something more original than 'monster smashing through window shortly after collecting key item'.

NPC's to play a more pivotal role.

Top class voice acting.

Challenging puzzles.

Jaw-dropping bosses (with existing ones having new tricks up biohazard sleeves).

At least 10 hours long.

Multiple surprises of the nastiest kind.

Not be anti-climatic.

And above all Capcom:

DON'T FUCK THIS UP.

Eventually, I'll let you know if they did or not.
