Resident Evil 2: 9 Things To Look Forward To
2. Big, Bad Bosses
Touched upon earlier, but it's worth mentioning that with a massive overhaul in gameplay and looks, the bosses would be given the makeover treatment too.
We already know that William Birkin will remain the chief antagonist once more, as he slowly succumbs to the G Virus and loses any semblance of humanity. His transformations were pretty spectacular the first time around, so it'll be interesting to see how it happens in this game.
As previously mentioned, Mr. X makes his looming return too. Originally an unstoppable nemesis on a character's B story scenario, it appears that he's been added to a lot more of the main game this time. Still only seen chasing Claire in recent footage, he's every bit as menacing as he used to be. Except this time, sporting a lovely new hat.
Besides those two, there was also the G Virus spawn, the first boss in the game, and shortly after, the sewer crocodile. A mutant bi-product of G Virus interference, one method of dispatching it was a tribute to the movie, Jaws. One wonders if that's still there...
