The more that’s revealed about the forthcoming Resident Evil 2 remake, the more it looks like its own original experience. The project’s show-stopping appearance at E3 2018, which included a 12-minute gameplay reveal, confirmed that it won’t be an entirely faithful recreation of the original game. Furthering that notion, Capcom brand manager Mike Lunn says the Resident Evil 2 remake will allow players to interact with characters and environments more deeply, compared to the source material.
In a conversation with Gaming Bolt, Lunn was asked to clarify an earlier comment by Capcom that the remake of Resident Evil 2 will offer a “deeper” narrative experience, specifically whether any changes would affect the story or rather be strictly visual. Lunn replied, “Definitely both,” implying that Resident Evil 2‘s story as understood by die-hard fans won’t be exactly the same in the remake.
Lunn continued, “For example, there will be places in the original game, that you just drove by, or maybe just walked by, or people that you talk to maybe had a handful of sentences. You’re really going to have deeper experiences with those. Sometimes you can actually go on and play for an extended period. Sometimes you have a little bit deeper story with that person. They’re more involved than they were in the previous game. The narrative is definitely enhanced, but I can’t get into what those are, obviously.”
