This specially tuned demo allows you to experience the newly reimagined Resident Evil 2, but be warned: whilst you can continue as many times as you like after dying, you'll only have 30 MINUTES to complete the demo. Take in the horror atmosphere at your own pace, or make a desperate dash to solve all the puzzles Raccoon Police Department has to offer? The choice is yours! Originally released in 1998, Resident Evil 2, one of the most iconic games of all time, returns completely reimagined for next-gen consoles. - Play individual campaigns for both Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield using an all new 3rd person view - Explore the zombie infested areas of Raccoon City, now stunningly re-built using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine. - New puzzles, storylines and areas Note: This demo is available until 1/31/2019. You must be signed in and have an active internet connection to play.
The Resident Evil 2 remake is, almost needless to say, a visual tour de force.
The facial animation is a new high watermark for Capcom, particularly with Claire, and at points comes remarkably close to naturalistic.
R.P.D. is one big, seamless environment, which means that if you shoot a zombie's leg off and leave it crawling around in a bathroom, then return half an hour later, that zombie torso will still be pulling itself around with groans.
It was also an experience that, while feeling authentic and true to the original game, is a million miles away. This Resident Evil 2 is a reinvention of serious panache, one comfortable with challenging its new players just as much as it will undoubtedly delight the old ones.
The demo will come to the PlayStation 4, Steam, and Xbox One on January 11, 2019 for free. However, it will leave storefronts on January 31, 2019.
Players will only receive one thirty minute session to play the demo, though you can retry the mission if you fail or replay it if you complete it and have time left over. When the clock hits zero, play time’s over, as is the demo itself.
You can replay it over and over by creating a new account
Haha nice. Anyone played it yet? Impressions?
I’m at work atm but I intended getting it on PS4 and Xbox
Checked it out yesterday. They're actually putting effort into this.
It's slower paced like RE4 but has easier controls (strafing, move and shoot)
You lose a lot of accuracy when moving so that balances that out so you don't become too OP, and the zombies can take a lot of hits. It's good stuff, you can't just go around killing everything easily.
One thing I really liked and hope they do more with is I found a 'boards' item, and you have zombies bashing on windows and shit and eventually breaking in in various spots. Then you can go and use the 'boards' item on any window do barricade it up.
I always enjoyed the barricading siege scenes in RE (that early part in the house in RE4 and the market in RE5 was awesome) and always wished for more like that. I hope this is a thing throughout the game.
Another nice touch is zombies coming after you and you can't just run away into another room like in the old days
I mean, you can, but they're gonna break through normal doors now. I love it.
Overall it just feels very good. Definitely a buy for me. RE2+RE4 vibes.
Had a completion time of 22 minutes but only 3 minutes left after that, however that came to be.
I'm gonna check it out again on another account and/or on PC, as there's still stuff to find it seems.

Looks good on Pro, sadly i didn't enjoy the combat. You need 4-5 shots to kill one zombie and sometimes after killing the zombie come again.
For now I'm going to pass but will keep looking at gameplay vids when full game is out.

You're free to like or dislike whatever game you like. I just don't understand your reasoning I guess. You don't like the game because you need 4-5 shots to kill one zombie and they come back alive? You don't like a challenge? They did that on the first Resident Evil remake and it made it a little more challenging but I still wouldn't consider them hard games.

You're right, i like the action RE and not the first games so i shouldn't complain when it's obvious they are remaking it as the original game.
I did like the atmosphere and graphics but didn't really enjoy the small inventory and the shooting but it's my taste so i totally understand why most impressions are good. Still gonna watch more walkthrough when it's out and maybe change my mind.
I kinda agree with Adebisi, but the old school atmosphere doesn't really matter to me.. But to be honest I don't understand the bashing vs RE6 cuz to me it's about the same from what I played, just that RE6 is less old school...
Anyway, I thought the game ran perfectly fine on PS4 Pro (not sure if the 4K mode was activated, my TV is 1080p but it enabled supersampled it seems) at 60 fps.
That being said it seems to me, like RE7, that the textures are kinda muddy/blurry specially when looking up close, like playing a game in medium resolution.
Prolly a limitation of running this at 60 fps, and I guess only the PC version runs with higher textures.
Director Kazunori Kadoi recently confirmed how long it will take you to escape Raccoon City, and it seems this game will be hitting an optimal length.
At a launch event in Dubai, Kadori reportedly confirmed that it will take about ten hours to make it through each scenario in Resident Evil 2.
The Ghost Survivors is a free content update coming to Resident Evil 2 on February 15, 2019. In this free DLC, players will get to explore the “what if” stories from those “who never made it out of Raccoon City: the gunshop owner, the mayor’s daughter, and the soldier.”
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
