After finishing Resident Evil HD the other day, I had to quickly fire up Resident Evil 2 on Dreamcast for the first time since 2008. And man, playing these back to back really makes you sad that Capcom didn't let Mikami remake all 3 Playstation games like he wanted to. As much as RE2 was 10 times the original in many ways, it doesn't hold a candle to the remake. And when you play them back to back all these things pop out at you that they could have improved, tweaked, or changed in a remake. From the small to the large.

It really sucks that we will never get that remake for RE2. It was a special game, and I have no doubt that a remake would have one-upped the remake of RE1 just as the original RE2 was a better game than the original RE. I've always felt the level design and art style of RE2 was the best in the entire series, and I would have LOVED to see what they would do with it and how they would change it.

Things I would have liked to see in RE2make:

• A quick turn as all newer games have. Its such an advantage and when you don't have it, it sucks.
• Crimson Heads all over the place, even just coming across turned zombies on your travels.
• Fleshed out characters and dialog. Seriously, most of this stuff sounds totally cheesy today, especially after playing REmake which has a super serious tone. RE2 has so many NPC's you meet, they could have been much better fleshed out and more interesting in a remake, while adding to the realism.
• Obviously new areas to explore and new puzzles to solve, just like REmake. While also changing up old areas and giving them a big facelift. Being in Racoon City, they could have added in a huge new spot of the city to explore around the police station. And the police station itself would have looked so amazing.
• Improve the zapping system to allow even greater interaction between Leon and Claire.

Anyone else have any ideas? Send them to Mikami.

Man....REmake still looks so incredible that I would honestly be 100% stoked if they just used that template and mmade remakes of RE2 and Nemesis out of that old engine. If the games were as high quality as remake, I would pay $60 each on day 1.

RE and 2 would be an all time masterpiece. The stuff they could do. Imagine Mr.X chasing you all over. I don't agree with the dialogue though, I really did not like the boring serious REmake dialogue, the original is so much better. How many memorable lines are on the original, it's one of the most quotable games ever. I can't tell you one line from remake.

Halo 5 got a release date yesterday, got two new cinematic trailers that kick off a huge ARG ad campaign with tons of story elements. It's a massive ad campaign and not one peep about it here (except for GGs awesome updates) We are so bias.

Lol.  Bunch of Sony fanboys.  I saw it during Walking Dead last night, but with no gameplay, I was very "meh" towards it.

Yeah, season 3 should've been this good.

Did you ever try and/or like the Alone in the Dark games Edge?

I played The New Nighmare on Dreamcast years ago. That one was a total Resident Evil 2 ripoff but not anywhere near as good. Still enjoyed it though.

Pisses me off that they backed out of the remakes and just threw the PC versions of 2 & 3 on Gamecube. For $40. Fucking lamest thing Capcom ever did.

Don't confuse bias with apathy.

Last chance to register Smash Bros. for Mewtwo DLC

With Club Nintendo officially shutting down tomorrow, it makes me wonder how long they'll wait to announce its replacement. It's not a great time for Nintendo to leave people wondering about this.  Rewards programs aren't a huge part of the business, but they need every little bit of good will they can get right now.
