Resident Evil 2 Remake is setting out to be an excellent remake, with Capcom managing to recapture the spirit of the original while updating and enhancing the gameplay.

Even in Resident Evil 2 Remake’s early phases, the development team at Capcom are capturing that signature survival horror feel while crafting together an experience worthy of being showcased on the latest consoles. Resident Evil 2, and the larger series at play, have been a part of Sony’s legacy for two decades and the amount of love and dedication to making this one of the best survival horror series is definitely on display with the short time I had with the Resident Evil 2 Remake demo. It’s a passion project that fans have been asking for ever since Chris and Jill’s inaugural escape from the Spencer Mansion that’s seen remakes on most modern consoles now. The wait can’t be over soon enough to get back into Raccoon City and sightsee its most visually impressive incarnation to date.

Resident Evil 2 Remake is out January 29th, 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
