The folks over at Playstation Underground have taken to the wastes of Raccoon City to check up on the Resident Evil 2 Remake. The latest gameplay footage for the game rejoins series badass Claire Redfield as she first encounters one of the most recognizable Resident Evil 2 enemies ever, the Lickers.
Kristen, Sid, and Mike from PlayStation walk us through one of the more iconic moments from Resident Evil 2, the first time you meet the Lickers. And don’t be mistaken, these genetic freaks were pushovers in the original game due to weapons like the Shotgun and Grenade launcher, but you won’t have that luxury of ease here. Capcom has redesigned the enemies and their encounters to make the whole experience much more spooky, and dangerous. The tone and setting of the remake has made this game much more challenging, and it’s looking like it could really put the horror back into survival horror games.
You can take a look at this new gameplay of the gory and horrfying Lickers down below. Resident Evil 2 will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on January 25th, 2019, and fans are pretty excited about it. Capcom has been slowly trickling out content and promotional information for Resident Evil 2 Remake for months now., and it’s finally coming to a head with all of this acary stuff giving us a pretty clear picture of what the final remake will be like.
If you want to check out the game in more detail, Capcom has you covered with a lot more footage and details. There’s some screenshots showing other characters like Sherry, as well as some other iconic bosses and baddies from the game. Once you’re done admiring that, you could take a gander at some gameplay showing graphical improvements and other changes to this classic video game.
And if new content and bonus goodies is your kind of thing, oh boy are you in luck. RE2 Remake has tons of new costumes you can deck both Leon and Claire in. One such example is the Ezra Walker costume for Claire. There’s also the top-end the Collector’s Edition of the game that features a 12″ statue. And if you’re really a super fan, you could throw an absurd bundle of cash at the $900 typewriter that’s being bundled with the Limited Edition.
