Resident Evil fans looking forward to the arrival of the remastered Resident Evil 2 game are sure to enjoy this new teaser trailer unveiled over the weekend which features the iconic Licker. A “spine-chilling creature that stalks its prey from the shadows”, is making a return in the remake of Resident Evil 2. The remastered Resident Evil 2 game will be available on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro early next year from January 25th, 2018 onwards.
The Legacy of Resident Evil 2
“Resident Evil 2, known in Japan as Biohazard 2, is a survival horror game developed and published by Capcom and released for the PlayStation in 1998. The player controls Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, who must escape Raccoon City after its citizens are transformed into zombies by a biological weapon two months after the events of the original Resident Evil. The gameplay focuses on exploration, puzzles, and combat; the main difference from its predecessor are the branching paths, with each player character having unique storylines and obstacles.”
The original Resident Evil 2 was a groundbreaking game that set new standards for the survival horror genre. It introduced players to a richly detailed world filled with terrifying creatures and intricate puzzles. The game’s dual-protagonist system allowed players to experience the story from two different perspectives, adding depth and replayability. Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie cop, and Claire Redfield, a college student searching for her brother, became iconic characters in the Resident Evil franchise.
What to Expect in the Remake
The remastered edition of Resident Evil 2 promises to bring the classic game to a new generation of players with enhanced graphics, updated controls, and new gameplay mechanics. The developers have rebuilt the game from the ground up using the RE Engine, which was also used for Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. This means that players can expect stunning visuals, realistic character models, and atmospheric lighting that enhances the horror experience.
One of the most exciting aspects of the remake is the return of the Licker, a terrifying creature that has become synonymous with the Resident Evil series. The Licker’s design has been updated to be even more horrifying, with detailed textures and lifelike animations that make it a formidable foe. Players will need to use all their wits and resources to survive encounters with this deadly enemy.
In addition to the Licker, the remake will feature other classic enemies from the original game, such as zombies, mutated dogs, and the relentless Tyrant. The developers have also hinted at new surprises and challenges that will keep even veteran players on their toes. The game’s environments have been meticulously recreated, with familiar locations like the Raccoon City Police Department and the underground laboratory receiving a modern makeover.
The remastered Resident Evil 2 will also include new gameplay elements that enhance the overall experience. For example, the over-the-shoulder camera perspective, first introduced in Resident Evil 4, will replace the fixed camera angles of the original game. This change allows for more immersive and dynamic gameplay, as players can now aim and shoot with greater precision. The inventory system has also been revamped, making it easier to manage items and resources.
