10 Best Gaming Remakes Of This Console Generation
1. Resident Evil 2
In 1998, Capcom released Resident Evil 2 to rapturous critical acclaim and financial success. 21 years later they decided to do it again, to much the same result.
The Resident Evil 2 remake was one of the undisputed highlights of this console generation. By marrying the tension-fuelled atmosphere of the original with contemporary game design (i.e. no more bloody tank controls) Capcom proved that Survival Horror can still thrive in the modern games industry. (Hopefully someone at Konami took note and told the company owners that the next Silent Hill should be a video game, not a pachinko machine).
We love Resident Evil, and the RE2 remake was a potent reminder why. Resident Evil 7 may have put the franchise back on track after the disastrous sixth entry, but it was with this remake that Capcom fully reasserted themselves as the kings of Survival Horror.
