15 Crucial Questions For 2018's Biggest Video Games
14. Which Gameplay Style Will It Have? - Resident Evil 2 Remake
The Question: With Capcom still not releasing any footage from the deep-in-development Resident Evil 2 remake, fans are wondering whether or not the game might've been re-purposed in the first-person style of Resident Evil 7. Is this the case, or will it indeed stay faithful to the third-person thrills of the original title?
The Likely Answer: The smart money is definitely on third-person for a number of reasons. Firstly, that's the original game's style, and the majority of players simply want a REmake-esque visual update that keeps the core game in tact.
Plus, Resident Evil 7 has actually sold below Capcom's sales projections so far despite near-universal critical acclaim, so it seems unlikely they'd want to switch to that style. Plus, as this remake has been in development for around two years, they'd be throwing away a ton of work to change to first-person after the response to RE7.
It'll probably, hopefully be in third-person.
