Resident Evil 2 Remake was a masterpiece in itself. But this excellent mod wants to appeal to nostalgics and does so with enormous vigor!
Modder alphaZomega combed through the entire Resident Evil 2 Remake to make this colossal project possible. The least we can say is that this gigantic work deserves a hug from Mr.X. Exploring the mod, camera in hand.
Resident Evil 2 Remake: Classic Edition
The Resident Evil 2 Remake, released in 2019, completely relaunched Capcom’s cult franchise. By incorporating the gameplay of the excellent Resident Evil 4 into this popular title, the game has allowed us to rediscover a PlayStation classic. Speaking of classical music, that’s exactly what we’re interested in here. A mod aptly named RE2R Classic was actually released yesterday and caused a huge amount of excitement among fans.
As the name suggests, this alphaZomega project makes us rediscover the remake in the style of the cult titles of the time. This means a game that is divided into shots with fixed camera angles. However, you will agree that it is difficult to pursue TPS in this situation. The modder has thought of everything and integrated automatic aiming. The camera can also adapt to the enemy you are targeting. It’s even possible to customize the camera itself to your preferences for a tailored experience.
The new best old way to play Remake?
For those who have never played the original Resident Evil on PlayStation, a little context about the mod is in order. In the first three numbered works (but also 0 and Code Veronica, among others), Capcom had established fixed plans for the exploration of each area. On the one hand, this made it possible not to make the Sony console cough too much. On the other hand, it gave a constant feeling of claustrophobia. Worse, certain camera angles completely obscured a very present threat, making itself known only through horrific noises.
This way of presenting the games has clearly contributed to the iconic nature of the franchise. This impressive work by a single modder on Resident Evil 2 Remake therefore deserves respect. This way, veterans can reconnect with the original experience and newcomers can experience Capcom’s original horror. A real masterpiece from alphaZomega. Don’t hesitate to give a thumbs up on the page dedicated to RE2R Classic Nexus mods. It’s the least we can do to honor his excellence!
