A Resident Evil 2 Remake is in the works! Though it's not an official remake made by Capcom but a fan-made remake by Invader Games but judging by the tech demo and screenshots, fans can expect good things from this remake.
According to the Invader Games' official facebook page, the game is still in Alpha state but things are going smoothly in development.
According to the Invader Games' official website, the story making for the Resident Evil 2 Remake is 100% done, coding is 60% done, design is 40% done and sound making is 40% done.
Invader Games also released a statement that they are trying to push out a playable beta on the PC this April.
The game will feature a fixed camera view similar to the classic Resident Evil titles of old but they will also include an over-the-shoulder camera style similar to the new Resident Evil titles such as RE4, RE5 and RE6.
According to the tech demo and statements from Invader Games the game will also use the classic RE inventory system and save system, so Ink Ribbons and typewriters will be back along with item boxes and the classic item menu!
Currently, Invader Games are focusing on the Leon scenario but they promised a Claire campaign will follow soon enough.
There is no word from Capcom to whether they will make a "cease and desist" letter and stop this Resident Evil 2 Remake from being released or will they do what they did to Street Fighter X Megaman fan game made by Seow Zong Hui and turn it into a real and official Capcom game.
Resident Evil 2 Remake: Reborn HD was made using the Unity3D engine and will feature all the locations in the original Resident Evil 2 game and some new locations introduced in other media.
Resident Evil 2 Remake: Reborn HD is a PC exclusive game and will be free of charge once it releases on December 2014. A playable demo will be out on April 2014.
