It seems as though fans’ prayers may be on the cusp of being answered as Resident Evil developer Capcom has opened the floor to a remake of the series’ flagship second entry.
Discussed in a Facebook post on the series’ official page, Capcom has asked fans to voice an ‘honest and frank’ opinion on what direction a potential remake of Resident Evil 2 should take. Given the fact that the Japanese publishing behemoth is seemingly unsure of acting upon the idea, it’s refreshing to see that it’s enlisting the help of the series’ ever-strong fan base to explore the possibility.
Much like a lot of the core fan base, PlayStation Universe would absolutely love a remake in a similar vein of 2002’s Resident Evil remake – that is, fixed camera angles, updated backgrounds, new animations, and a refreshed soundtrack. And throw in a remake of Resident Evil 3 since we’re feeling greedy.
Check out a screen cap of the post below.
And with the HD Remaster of 2002’s Resident Evil remake comfortably surpassing the one million sales mark some three months ago it seems as if Capcom’s finally tempted to explore the proverbial treasure trove that is its back catalogue. And we wouldn’t be adverse to it provided it’s handled with the utmost care.

How would you like Capcom to handle a Resident Evil remake? Would you prefer an over-the-shoulder, more action-orientated title or a classic Resident Evil in the mold of 2002’s remake of the original?
