New ‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Rumors Hint at the Upgrades Being Made

Never get your hopes up, it seems.

Sure, it wasn’t exactly set in stone that Capcom were going to reveal the Resident Evil 2 remake yesterday on the 20th anniversary of the original game’s release. It would’ve made a lot of sense to do it, especially after all the hinting. All of it. But, that doesn’t appear to be in the cards. Even Capcom’s Development Team 1 took to Twitter to offer their apologies for getting people’s hopes up after that photo they posted. Some people “responded” as you’d expect.

All is not doom and gloom, however. But once again, get your salt shakers ready for this batch of “news”. On 4chan (of all places), a user posted some tidbits that, if true, makes it sound like the remake will be given quite the overhaul. A Twitter user managed to screencap the post for future reference.

  • The remake will be OTS (over the shoulder), and will be a mix of Revelations 2 and Resident Evil 4
  • The RPD and Raccoon City will be redesigned
  • There will be only two campaigns, and no Zapping System, but Claire and Leon interact more
  • The Crocodile encounter from the sewer has been cut
  • Sherry is playable, can defend herself (like Natalia in Revelations 2)
  • Ada section(s) expanded, gets unique weapons
  • No 4th Survivor, Maybe no Tofu
  • Focus on Horror
  • Difficulty works like Resident Evil 7: No Autosave on Hard
  • Costumes are back, with Resident Evil 1.5 costumes planned, focus on DLC
  • We can still develop that Rebecca photo… and something else?
  • Late 2018 is the target release date

Again, take these all with a grain of salt. And while it’s understandable for some of these changes to the game (if they’re true), I can’t help but be a little disappointed with the change to an over-the-shoulder viewpoint. Yes, it’s an antiquated 20-year-old design mechanic, but at the same time, the fixed camera brought about fear because you could only what the game wanted you to see. It drove tension. But yeah, it’s understandable.

None of this is official until Capcom finally decides to pull back the curtain. Whenever that is.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
