Resident Evil 2 Remake: 10 Things It Got WRONG

10. Hiding The Original Soundtrack Behind A Paywall

Unlike Garth from Wayne's World, at lot of us don't actually fear change. We know that when something is redone, or modernised, it's usually for the better. Soundtracks and scores move with the times, the mantle carefully passed on to the next generation.

Shusaku Uchiyama knew this, as he is the man responsible for scoring both the original and the remake.

So, despite the occasional audio cue as a nod to the original, it's an entirely new score for this version. It's beautiful, too. Mixing terror and suspense with hallowed nostalgia.

But at the same time, imagine how excited fans were it was announced that there'd be an option to play with the original soundtrack as well. Imagine hearing those familiar chords as you walk into the RCPD for the first time in over twenty years...

Now imagine how downright peed off you'd be when you discover it's only for those that plumped for the deluxe edition and upwards. Not even available to be bought separately.

It's also doubly insulting for those that did splash out, when you discover they're releasing the 1998 original character skins for free on February 15th.

C'mon, Capcom, one or the other.
