After several forgettable entries in the franchise, Resident Evil finally looks to be getting back to its best. Though Resident Evil 7 divested from the series third-person formula, it was heralded as a return to form for the series and seems to have galvanised interest in it once more, hence Capcom's decision to start development on a remake of Resident Evil 2, a game that many consider to be one of the greatest horror video games of all time.

This is no ordinary remake though. Instead of providing a HD update to the original 1998 title, Capcom have transformed Resident Evil's first sequel into a full-on third-person title, the kind used in Resident Evil 4. It will also use Capcom's RE engine, which was last seen in the aforementioned seventh entry of the series: Biohazard.

So far, everything we've seen of this remake looks pretty fantastic, and with Resi 4 oft considered to be the benchmark of the franchise post-2000, there's genuine cause for excitement.
