  • Resident Evil 2 is one of the best examples of how to make a sequel.
    Released in 1998, Resident Evil 2 followed up the landmark original and created one of the best games around. With its iterative improvements and some of the best options for replayability, it still stands at the very top of the Resident Evil titles.

    So you just put out a landmark title, Resident Evil, that takes the world by storm. A game that others try to copy, with most of them falling short. A number are simply known as "resident evil clones". What do you do to follow it up?
    Well in the case of Capcom, you make Resident Evil 2. A sequel with a higher budget and expectations. A sequel that's bigger, more action, higher stakes.
    So, how was the end result of Resident Evil 2?
    A title that general consensus touts as the superior title over the original.
    While I do think the Resident Evil Remake would end up being better, Resident Evil 2 was one of the best examples of making a sequel.
    Resident Evil 2 kickstarted what's regarded as the greatest year in gaming, 1998.
    While I don't think Resident Evil 2 hits the highs of exploring the mansion from the first, and it is more linear, its iterations on the formula make for a better overall title. Intersecting scenarios of both characters allows for greater levels of replayability with Resident Evil 2. It takes a more grand approach to everything but doesn't lose the heart of what made the original great.
    This Resident Evil 2 review/analysis/retrospective/critique will look at how Resident Evil 2 came together, the improvements it makes, the plot, comparing it to the 2019 remake, and more.

It has so much potential for modern game designers to use today which is why it was a bit disappointing it wasn't fully utilized in the remake.

    Resident Evil 2 remains my favorite of the classic series. Yes I include REmake in thar regard. I just love the pacing and structure of 2's police station.
    Also I thought Annette Birkin in the original was more of a bitch since she was more obsessed with the G-Virus to point of putting a sample of it in her DAUGHTER'S PENDANT which made her a target for both William AND Mr. X.

      The pendant didn't make Sherry a target for William. In Claire A/Leon B, William is looking for Sherry in order to impregnate her with his embryos. Cherry drops the pendant and Ada picks it up. Mr X ends up targeting Ada.
      In Leon A/Claire B, William doesn't come after Sherry even though she doesn't drop the pendant. Mr X then ends up going after Sherry.

    Thank you for mentioning the lack of the B Scenarios, so many people ignore that it's missing and thus about half of the game story is missing as cutscenes are reused and now make no sense interms of timeline when before Leon A and Claire B and Claire A and Leon B fit together perfectly. Resident Evil 2 Remakeis an incomplete game and it would only get worse Resident Evil 3 Remake which practically just a highlight reel of the original. If they wanted to just be one linear story they should have just adapted Claire A and Leon B instead of giving us an incomplete version of A and B for both.

    I like RE2make more than any of the original 90s games, more for its excellent gameplay than its treatment of the story. The modern controls are a literal game changer and help the experience feel much more natural and immersive. It took me a long time to figure out how to move effectively on the PS1 when I first tried RE in the 2010s. Here that's not a problem, but despite third-person shooting, the balance of survival horror tension works super well on those first few playthroughs. While the original soundtrack can't be beaten, it's a little disappointing that RE2 '98 has the better zapping and A/B format. World reactivity across multiple playthroughs is such a cool concept and I feel like there's room for an RE game where your first playthrough can have a truly huge impact on your second one. Dead enemies you killed the first time who get up with V-ACT mutations or multiple exclusive solutions to puzzles that force you to take a different route the 2nd time could make that second playthrough really magical.

    1998 I was eleven years old, I traded tomb raider 2 and £20 for RE2 on release day, one of my favourite games of all time.

    Resident Evil 2 was my very first RE game in the series that I've played back in 1998. I spent a lot of hours on this game. Good times. Gamers today won't understand the feeling of playing this game back then during time period. It's not just the nostalgia but an explosion of the culture of survival horror gaming in its infancy. It's similar to my point of view and getting blown away when VHS and Betamax media jump to CDs and DVDs. I remember jumping from 8 bit to 16 bit gaming and then getting my mind blown away with the 3D with this game. I didn't really question back then at the time that it was just prerendered backgrounds but the voice acting combined with the creepy atmosphere, sound effects and music was amazing to me! It blew me away how good the audio and music was for this game. So it's not just the graphics but how different gameplay was. Music and sound effects were also a huge part of this game's lasting power! I also love being able to play both Leon and Claire. I remember those Lickers and Mr. X scaring the crap out of me the first time. Man, time flies! Now we have RE2 remake and RE3 remake which I also loved! Here's to hoping that Capcom keeps making us fans happy with more announcements and reveals in the future in this survival horror series!

    My favorite version of the story is Leon A/Claire B, regardless of "canon". In this version Leon doesn't meet Sherry until the train.

    Just finished this game today. First time I beat Leon B as well. An absolute and undeniable masterpiece.
    The Last Of US to me it's an amateur work compared to this. So much care, so many good ideas, it's well written and passed, they use the lore perfectly. What I mean by that is that the lore adds context to the story but there is a well narrated plot. Unlike Dark Souls or Hollow Knight for example.
    Once again. Masterpiece.

    Man i got this game on a demo disc and could not figure out the controls for weeks. Once i beat the demo i just could not wait for the game to drop. Probably my favourite ps1 era game ever. Spent so many hours i knew each scenario inside out. The nostalgia i get from this is next to none. Just a masterpiece of a game and a really important game in gaming history

    I feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t think Claire and Leon are flirting. I just see her being happy he’s alive. I dunno, I can see what everyone is saying, but I just feel like Claire is very excitable than in the original. And while I wish Annette was more caring of her daughter, I did like that she’s kind of more like an asshole. I just wish maybe she was too busy hunting Ada or her husband to have time for Sherry.

    Claire Redfield's jacket has the words 'Made in Heaven' written on the back. This text is a direct reference to the Band Queen and its album 'Made in Heaven'.
    During the end boss battle, Ada Wong suddenly appears and throws a rocket launcher weapon that can be used to kill the boss. The same thing happens at the end of Resident Evil 4.
    According to the official Capcom page, Wesker was there when Ada fell and saved her. This would make sense as Ada joins forces with Wesker later on in the series.
    The game came out during a particularly important period for 3D gaming, as 1998 saw other notable releases like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998), Metal Gear Solid (1998), Banjo-Kazooie (1998) and Half-Life (1998) change the gaming industry economically and aesthetically.
    First Resident Evil game released on a Nintendo console. The original had a game boy color version but it was never officially released.
    Although the N64 version had better character models, the FMV cutscenes ran poorly due to the fact that the console was cartridge based.
    After the tanker crashes into the police car during the opening cinematic, a "No Trucks" sign can be seen among the burning truck wreckage.

    The first Resident Evil to give a final grade after the game's completion. Resident Evil 1 never gave a grade after you beat it.

    Big Comfy Couch was pretty popular back when I was a little kid in the 90's; I live in Florida, as far south as you can go in the US, along with Texas, and it was just as popular down here on public television as anywhere else, including Canada (we steal a lot of shows from Canada, as well as outsourcing some movie and TV show productions to Canada; Disney especially does it all the time with their live-action studio sitcoms, and has done so regularly since the late 90's or early 2000's especially.
    But yeah, as far as the BCC, I even had one or two episodes on VHS growing up. I was just the right age for it when it came out and the nostalgia stuck with me ever since, after that lol no joke though

    As someone who has severe arachnophobia and the only classic Re games under my belt is one remake, and maybe you can count 4. I was to young to grow up with the classics. I grew up with 4, 5 and 6 with my brother. So I played remake and I didn’t have a way to play any other games so when I found out two remake didn’t have giant spiders I was so mad. I need a re engine giant tarantulas they’re so creepy, and I’m already imagining a room with a few spiders a locker and the spiders get a lock on you and because of there heavy stammering they set the lickers off and you gotta navigate all this while trying to manage the enemies. I would down size them though! Like smaller than tyrant and zombies but bigger than Cerberus.. But big enough to pounce on a human and dig in.

    Resident Evil 2 was my actual first experience with the Franchise.
    2:31- Yeah, I heard that Kamiya would block people.
    6:40- The Scenario Story was what I liked about the original RE2. This was one of the step-ups compared to the first Resident Evil. I don't understand how the RE2 Remakers messed up what made the original RE2 great!
    10:37- The solution was moving the two left shelves to the right. It took me years to realize that.
    12:28- Sugimura was also a writer for the Tokusatsu Franchise.
    13:31- So I've caught wind that Leon S Kennedy's original voice - Paul Haddad had passed. 😔 Thanks to my Subscription named SpartanUruk.
    15:53- LOL
    16:42- It's a shame that I would have liked to see the Classic cutscenes recreated in the RE2 Remake. Same with the factory up to the front of the lab office which were SHOWN in RE0. I felt that we got empty promises in the offical RE2 Remake.

    6:26....This is a perfect showcase of one of my only heavy gripes with the RE2 remake. Listen to that sound of the shotgun and the impact effect. It was loud, intense. Blew off the head and half of the upper body at close range. I mean POWWWWW!!!!!.....If you didn't have hair on your balls, you would after firing that shotgun in Re2 a few times. And if you were a lil bit further out, the shotgun still would blow back a zombie with great force, not dismember. That's how it should be. That was satisfying as hell.
    In the remake, the guns all sound like complete duds. Like cap guns or airsoft. The weapons have almost no impact effect, they just don't feel like real guns in any way. It's so unsatisfying. The shotgun has almost no impact effect.
    In the remake, The shotgun, for instance, only pops heads at close range, and rightfully so, but anything beyond 1-2 feet, you might as well have splashed water at an enemy and squeezed out a squeaker of a fart. That's how weak the power weapons sound/feel in the RE2 remake.
    The game is a masterpiece in almost every way, but I just don't get how they failed so epically with the sound/feel/effect of weapons in this otherwise great remake. Just baffling to me.
