‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Will Stay True to the Original
Last year, Capcom finally let us in on their plans to remake one of the greatest survival horror games of all time, Resident Evil 2, proving miracles can happen once enough people come together to complain about it for about two decades. And unlike the various remasters the franchise has seen over the years, the scope of this remake will be comparable to the beloved 2002 remake of the original Resident Evil.
There’s an immense amount of pressure for the remake to stay true to the original, and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, who’s worked on both versions of the Resident Evil remake, knows this. In an interview with VideoGamer, Hirabayashi offered an update on the game’s progress, saying the team is “working hard on the game at the moment and there are some reasons why I think we can recapture the spirit of the first game.”
Capcom is also using the feedback Resident Evil 6 received, and continues to receive since it released on PS4 and Xbox One last month.
“I saw a lot of the feedback on Resident Evil 6 and have taken on board everything I’ve heard from the fans about the game and I want to show you what it taught me with through the next experience I’ll be bringing to you,” added Hirabayashi.
We still don’t know if Resident Evil 2 will keep its more anachronistic features, such as the controls and static camera angles, or if the remake will adopt a variation of what was introduced in Resident Evil 4. There’s no release date for it yet, but it is expected sometime next year.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
