Peep that gooey, disgusting burger that truck driver is eating in the intro! Look at the detail in the character’s faces! Look at how glossy (and slightly unnatural) everything wet looks! PS4 is the generation of glossy (and slightly unnatural) visuals. Right from the start, you could see just how much care went into this remake. Using the RE Engine that was used for the acclaimed Resident Evil: Biohazard (RE7 in the mainline series), the game uses the over-the-shoulder perspective used since RE4. When the new wave of REmakes began, RE2 was the first to get a facelift for the (at the time) current-gen consoles. I love how the game immediately throws you into the deep end and continues to throw life or death scenarios your way at a decent clip.
Out of the three original PSX Resident Evil games, the Resident Evil 2 REmake is my favorite of the bunch and it always has been.
