Resident Evil 2 – 26-minute video comparison between Remake and Original versions

YouTube’s ‘Cycu1’ has released a comparison video between the Remake and the Original versions of Resident Evil 2. This video shows the entire 1-Shot Demo (the PC demo will release in around 9 hours on Steam) so I strongly suggest avoiding it in case you want to experience it yourselves.

For everyone else that is not really interested in playing the demo, this video will give you an idea of the graphical improvements between these two games. Resident Evil 2 was originally released in 1998 and its Remake is coming out after almost 21 years.

As Cycu1 stated, this is comparison of raw, unedited walkthroughs (no cuts were made on both videos to show how they are different in terms of scenario). As such, the gameplay sequences are not properly synced and this may frustrate some that want to see the differences between these two games.

Resident Evil 2 Remake is currently planned for a January 25th release.

Enjoy!

  1. old re games and dino crisi games played identical. i liked re2 and 3 better than dino 2, music and atmosphere were great in both series. leave it to japanese to nail horror genre and atmosphere. west is so shet at horror that it hurts.

  2. if you think about it, resident evil 7 is full version of PT and resident evil 2 remake is the silent hill that kojima was going to make.

    1. I don’t think the RE2 Remake represents silent hill’s vision. The silent hill games have always been on a whole different level of crazy. likely, if there was more Silent hill footage produced, it would have taken off on the deep end of bizarre. sort of like Death stranding.

      1. walking simulators are boring. kojima would have given players something to do if he made that third person silent hill game.

        1. Well PT. wasn’t meant to be a game. it was experimental vessel tech; a new form of sampling game content within content. should gamers make it to the other end of the scary tech demo, they would be rewarded with a teaser of a real game.

          Sadly how it turned out PT became more tangible than the actual presentation.

  3. Perhaps the most significant difference between the two is that the original release didn’t feature paid DLC. At least Capcom seemingly aren’t including in-game adverts like they’ve done with current-latest Street Fighter.

  4. Played the demo on PS4 Pro with HDR since the Steam Demo is not out yet. The visuals looked very washed out and the controls felt very stiff. This game desperately needs ReShade and Mouse/Keyboard.

    Honestly I had more fun playing Dead Space 3 on PC then playing Resident Evil 2 Remake on PS4 Pro. Hopefully the PC version blows me away when I check it out later today on Steam.

      1. Only low IQ trolls restrict themselves to gaming only on one platform. I like to play the best versions of the games I am interested in. If the game is available on PC I obviously play it on PC. My consoles are only for those few good games that are not on PC.

          1. It would be a good project for you this weekend. Maybe occupy your free time and keep you out of trouble for a f*cking change : )

          2. There are plenty of them ( Last Of Us: Remastered, Uncharted 4, Spiderman, God of War, inFamous: Second Son, Journey, Until Dawn… ) and more to come with The Last Of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding…

            They may not be your style of games but these are great titles nonetheless. None of the XB1 exclusives look interesting to me though…

          3. only autistic nerd teenagers who are too girlish and are into gossips like little girls enjoy games made by sony, they’re all cutscene simulators made for nerds like you who are too autistic to bond with real people, that’s why nerds like you get upset when someone says your games are trash, because these games and characters are real to you and they’re the only people you have relationship with. death stranding is not a console game, it will be on pc as well. good games on consoles don’t exist, period.

          4. thanks for letting us know you studied psychology, a cheap and low iq field that kids with no brain study. i’m assuming you’re a native english speaker. americans and brits study psychology and literature because they lack mental capacity to study something that requires iq instead of memorizing like a sheep. this would also explain why you like to correct foreigner’s grammar mistakes on the internet so much. damn you guys are pathetic as hell.

          5. i shet and pees on muhammed’s grave everyday, literally. why would i take advice of some sand neeger goat raypist with 50 iq.

          6. i shet and pees on muhammed’s grave everyday, literally. why would i take advice of some sand neeger goat raypist with 50 iq.

          7. i shet and pees on muhammed’s grave everyday, literally. why would i take advice of some sand neeger goat raypist with 50 iq.

          8. Infidel!

            You better just hope the Pakistani Authorities don’t declare a Jihad against you for saying things like that.

          9. afghanistan is shethole? you noob ignorant, pakis live in dirt and you accuse my afghani brothers of having a shethole country? man, i can’t believe you, where you from man?

        1. Well, here is the problem with it, nobody asked for coop, craft weapons and universal ammo but you got way too much ammo, weapons are weak, enemies are bulletspongers, enemies look more generic and take too many hits, so you end up getting hit before them dying, you cant fire upper weapon and lower weapon at the same speed, eg if you fire a slow weapon you have to wait till you can fire the lower weapon, which doesnt make sense because the whole point is that you can use them independently, not only that is not true but they got common ammo. Microtransactions, too many padding and copy pasted stuff, the campaign is pretty meh, most of it its boring and repetitive, very few and worthless audiologs, all areas look alike, its so meh, its like they were forced to make this or something. Meanwhile resident 7 playing on lower difficulties so you dont run out of ammo and increasing the fov in the options can serve as decent coop action game, dead space 3….is not even good as an action game let alone coop.

          1. I respectfully disagree. Just because Dead Space 3 is not as good as Dead Space 1 & 2 does not mean its a bad game. They made some bad design decisions for Dead Space 3 but the core DNA of Dead Space was very much intact in Dead Space 3.

          2. This 😀 I actually liked it, but it was more of a 7/10 game, while the other ones were 8 and 9. It had cool moments and ideas, but it wasn’t perfect. I dont know why people hate it tho..

            The Co op thing was fun too! Co Op i even give it an 8, but thats normal. Every game becomes fun in CO OP 😀

          1. DS1 was better than DS2 imo but both games made my list of games to replay every few years. Thoroughly enjoyed both of them. DS3 was mostly just a turd stain left behind like a dog dragging it’s a*s across my carpet.

      1. The beginning in the spaceship when you had to move to different areas was very atmospheric and had great lighting. As soon as you reached the atmosphere it turned into a disaster…
