Resident Evil 2 News

The original, canceled version of Resident Evil 2 is back and better than ever

Gothic, ornate, but just close enough to normality that it feels real, the Raccoon City Police Department building in Resident Evil 2 is one of the greatest settings in horror game history. But it didn't always look that way. Before RE2 made it to shelves back in 1998, another version of the game came close to completion. Starring a different-looking Leon Kennedy and a Claire Redfield prototype named Elza Walker, what fans now refer to as Resident Evil 1.5 was a very, very different game, with alternate locations, more guns, and expanded escort-quest sequences. Capcom scrapped this version, but it's since been rebuilt by fans - and a new, improved restoration is available right now.

You can get $300 worth of Resident Evil games for the price of one, right now

I've said it before: Resident Evil 3 Remake is one of the most underrated games in the entire series. Bundle that together with RE Village, RE7, the remake of Resident Evil 2, and dozens of other hits from Capcom's defining survival horror series, and you've got yourself one of the best batches of classic and modern scare-'em-ups available today. We're still waiting on Code Veronica Remake, or maybe the full Resident Evil 9, but with the reimagined version of RE4 behind us, it's a good opportunity to either round out your collection or explore the rest of the Resi world for the first time. Right now, you can get 11 Resident Evil games, covering the entire series chronology, for less than $60.

Resident Evil 2 just got an unofficial HD remaster, and you can play it now

I've completed Resident Evil 2 probaby 100 times, and that's not an exaggeration. Some years ago, I used to speedrun it, which meant playing the entire Leon A scenario back to back maybe twice or three times a day. From the Raccoon City streets to the RPD building, the narrow sewers and the Umbrella lab, I feel like I know every inch of Capcom's classic survival horror game by heart. I like RE2 Remake, but the original will always be the best. With that in mind, and rumors whirling about both Resident Evil 9 and a possible remake of Code Veronica, if you want to revisit Resident Evil 2 now it's on GOG, a new, unofficial HD remaster mod is perfect for bringing layers of extra detail to one of the all-time greats.
