Speaking toGamingBolt , Capcom Brand Manager Mike Lunn told gamers that the party is taking a different approach shot toResident Evil 2compared to its previous game :
" It wo n’t be faithful one to one . [ As far as buff ] [ s]ome people played it once and some people play it a thousand times because it ’s their favourite game . For the mass that have even played it a thousand prison term , we wanted it to feel fresh . That ’s why we do n’t call itResident Evil 2 Remake . It ’s a new plot built on top of the foundation . "
Using the 1998 game as a benchmark for how to retell the story ofResident Evil 2 , Lunn went on to excuse how Capcom will uphold to surprise even the most loyal buff of the franchise . Lunn promised to mix it up when highlighting one prospect in the Raccoon City Police Department as the zombies lurk by the windows :
" We want you to be scared by [ the elements of the biz ] , not just reposition to a raw part of the edifice , but sort of reimagined … we do n’t desire you to know precisely how the puzzle are solved , we do n’t want you to know on the nose where the opposition are extend to be . We require to surprise you . So , we have change thing a spot . But on the whole , the main estimate , the main arcs of the level are very similar . But there are go to be some newfangled surprise in there as well . "

SwappingResident Evil 2 ’s fixed photographic camera for a more intimate ( and terrifying ) over - the - berm camera likeResident Evil 4is just one of the many ways 2019 ’s game will be different . Elsewhere , developer have already decided to do off withResident Evil 2 ’s unequalled zapping system from 1998so the unexampled secret plan goes further than its predecessor . That being said , the critical acclaim of 2002’sRemakebased on the first biz proves that the term " remaking " does n’t always harm a series . With the the likes of of Lunn promote back so hard on the terminology , it now mean everyone is await some pretty drastic changes to the gameplay and storytelling whenResident iniquity 2comes to PS4 , Xbox One , and personal computer on January 25 , 2019 .
