As if Capcom itself wasn’t remaking enough of its titles, Italian independent developer InvaderGames has taken it upon itself to remake Resident Evil 2 using Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 4.
Dubbed Resident Evil 2 Reborn, the fan-made remake sports updated 3D models, particle effects, a lighting system, new gameplay, a new health system, new textures, new scripts, new sound effects, a new soundtrack, new animations, and more. Check it all out in the two gameplay videos below featuring the game in its alpha state.
Resident Evil 2 was originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation 1 and subsequently ported to the Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Gamecube, and other platforms. It takes place two months after the events of Resident Evil 1 and stars Leon S. Kennedy, who later starred in Resident Evil 4, and Claire Redfield.
Currently, Capcom is working on a remade version of Resident Evil 0 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. It will be released in early 2016. Recently, the Japanese developer shared a video comparing three versions of Resident Evil 0: the Nintendo 64 prototype, the original release, and the HD remake.
InvaderGames plans to release Resident Evil 2 Reborn in its alpha state for PC this summer.
