The station is essentially a giant box of puzzles, and an absence of objective markers, beyond a few marked points of interest, means you have to draft a mental map as you play. The building itself is a labyrinth of blind corners, shadowy recesses, and warren-like corridors, creating a constant feeling of apprehension and unease. Some parts of the station have been plunged into darkness, forcing you to pick through the gloom with a flashlight. While the original game relied on fixed camera angles and the distant moan of unseen zombies to build fear, the remake uses light, shadow, and layout to get under your skin. The grand, imposing Raccoon City Police Department was always a great setting, but the shift to three dimensions makes it magnificent. Performance With a GTX 1080, 16GB of RAM, and an i5-6600K overclocked to 4.0GHz I was able to play Resident Evil 2 at 1440p/60fps on almost max settings, and it ran smoothly-albeit with some judder when sprinting into a large, open area such as the RPD main hall. Graphics options Anti-aliasing (FXAA/TAA/FXAA+TAA/SMAA), texture quality, texture filter quality (anisotropic 2-16x), subsurface scattering, contact shadows, screen space reflections, particle lighting quality, ambient occlusion (SSAO limited/SSAO full/HDAO/HBAO+), motion blur, graphics API (DX11/DX12) But even moments of fan service are given some kind of interesting twist or fresh angle, which is, honestly, not what I expected from this remake at all.

Kennedy and Claire Redfield-and a few fan favourite bosses and locations have been recreated. You can still play as two characters-Leon S. It's a remake, but it's never a slave to the source material, adding or cleverly remixing enough elements to make it feel brand new. They just moan and lurch and grab, and there's something enjoyably back-to-basics about that-a feeling that echoes through every claustrophobic hallway of this confident remake.ДЄfter the subversive, rule-breaking Resident Evil 7, with its grimy Southern Gothic aesthetic and intimate first-person horror, Resident Evil 2 is a return to a more familiar style of game.

They don't sprint or explode or sprout thrashing parasites like they do in newer Resident Evil games. Turn a corner, and as your flashlight beam catches their glassy white eyes they screech and trudge towards you, arms outstretched, jaws slung with glistening blood. Shoot a leg off and they keep coming, dragging themselves along the floor, reaching at you with pale, clawing hands.
