Looks great! The sense of being overwhelmed and surrounded is very much there, and the animations, in particular, are brilliant and very reminiscent of the original, though I think - just personal preference - the camera is zoomed a little too far on the player character. Hopefully there will be settings to change this, however.

Now, if only Capcom would get their finger out...

Looks great.

Whoops! I meant Resident Evil 2 - Unreal Engine 4!

[Monkei]

Nice, I'd love to play a full version of that!

[DOS]

Can you say cease and desist?

[Peter]

There is no way Capcom is just gonna let this go for free. I'm surprised it's still going.

[Thief]

Why do they even bother releasing trailers? Just develop in secrecy and then release when it's completed.

Capcom is actually asking fans on Facebook for their opinion on this fan project and an RE2 remake in general: https://m.facebook.com/residentevil/posts/1011658972188323

Here's the text from Capcom's Resident Evil Facebook page:

Hello Resident Evil fans!
This is Capcom R&D Division 1!

First off, we would like to express our deepest appreciation to all Resident Evil fans, for your passion, enthusiasm and continued support for the Resident Evil brand.

Enthusiasm for a Resident Evil 2 Remake is something we've been hearing from you over the years, and has drawn some recent attention in the media.

However, as the team owns the RE brand, we're not certain how we feel about this approach, and would like to ask your honest and frank opinion about the “Resident Evil 2 Remake” and what the brand identity is supposed to be about?

I've been following it, really amazing how much of an impact this fan made project has had on the Capcom staff.

[Monkei]

Yeah, it's crazy. And awesome. Seems to be the year of fanboy dreams coming true and fanbases achieving great stuff!

I wasn't really interested in RE games after 5 anymore, but the remastered remake recently brought me back to it. After that I somehow felt the urge to play Code Veronica X HD, Revelations and 6. CV hasn't aged too well and the other two aren't exactly the best in the series, especially not 6, but I still enjoyed them. So trashy and cheesy, yet still so cool for some reason.

So Capcom have just approved plans to remake RE2.

It might not be all bad news for creator Invader Games, though, who took to Facebook yesterday to announce that although they have to can their own remake, Capcom has invited them to meet on official terms.

It's a definite shame in one regard but being acknowledged by the producers of a series they obviously care about is awesome. Would be nice if they ended up in some kind of consultant role.
