Most zombie games make plenty of effort to establish the dilapidated world you would otherwise inhabit as the result of a full scale, disastrous apocalypse. But this old dog has been taught plenty of new tricks, making Resident Evil 2 for the PS4, unlike anything you've seen in the Resident Evil series before. Kennedy or Claire Redfield, and the game still takes place in the iconic, zombie-infested burg of Raccoon City.
You still have the option to play as either Leon S. Now you can save whenever you want (unless you are really into the old-school 'Ribbon' save system - that option is still available to you in Hardcore mode.) Of course, the original RE2 framework is still there. In lieu of the old-fashioned tank controls and fixed camera angles that plagued the game before are more modern third-person shooter mechanics. And Resident Evil 2 isn’t just your standard run-of-the-mill remaster either: This one was re-built from the ground up to take advantage of the processing power of the current generation.
Capcom has returned to the Resident Evil well in a big way in early 2019, releasing a fully recreated and remastered take on the PS1-era classic Resident Evil 2 (RE2).
