12 Most Impactful Games Of The PS4, Xbox One And Nintendo Switch Era

12. Resident Evil 2 Remake - Remakes Are Back In Fashion

The first Resident Evil game came out on the original PlayStation in 1996, and is credited with popularising the survival horror genre. Since then, it has grown into one of the most successful and beloved franchises around. So when it was announced that Capcom were remaking 1998 sequel Resident Evil 2 for current generation consoles, fans were both excited and cautious about what it would look and play like.

But even the most hardcore of fans were amazed at what Capcom were able to achieve. By using the same game engine as Resident Evil 7, the developers were able to make more photorealistic models of their characters and the zombies. Despite the shift in perspective, the game managed to retain its claustrophobic feel and the horror elements of the original.

Developers remaking or remastering their old games is not a new thing, but Resident Evil 2 Remake’s success proved how lucrative it can be if done right.
