Resident Evil 2 (also known as Biohazard 2) is a zombie survival role-playing horror video game originally released for the PlayStation but was later ported to the Nintendo 64 gaming console (N64). The game is the second installment of the Resident Evil (RE) series.

Resident Evil 2[a] is a survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. Players control police officer Leon S. Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield as they attempt to escape from Raccoon City during a zombie apocalypse. It is a remake of the 1998 game Resident Evil 2.

Capcom first expressed interest in making a remake of Resident Evil 2 in 2002, following a successful release of the remake of the first Resident Evil, but production never started since series creator Shinji Mikami did not want to divert development away from Resident Evil 4. In August 2015, Capcom announced that the remake was in development, and the first trailer and gameplay footage was revealed during E3 2018.

The game was released worldwide for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on January 25, 2019, to universal acclaim with praise directed at its presentation, gameplay, and faithfulness to the original. As of February 2019, the game had shipped four million copies worldwide.

Gameplay[edit]

Claire Redfield is one of the game's two main playable characters.

Resident Evil 2 is a remake of the 1998 game Resident Evil 2 released for the PlayStation. Unlike the original, which uses tank controls and fixed camera angles, the remake features 'over-the-shoulder' third-person shooter gameplay similar to Resident Evil 4.[1]

Additionally, the standard difficulty mode allows players to save as often as they'd like inside safe rooms. If the player chooses to play on 'Hardcore' difficulty, players will be required to collect and use a finite number of 'ink ribbons' to save the game's progress, much like in the original game.

Live video from FOX 8 Live is available on your computer, tablet and smartphone during all local newscasts. When FOX 8 Live is not airing a live newscast, you. Wvue fox 8 live stream.

As with the original game, the remake of Resident Evil 2 offers the option to play through the main campaign with one of two protagonists, the rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy or the college student Claire Redfield. Depending on the player's choice, the main story will be experienced with variations in subplots, accessible areas, and obtainable items.

Similar to the 'Scenario B' feature of the original game, beating the main campaign for the first time unlocks the option to play through a '2nd Run' as the other protagonist. 2nd Run is a variation of the main campaign that adds additional content to frame the second playthrough as occurring concurrently with the first playthrough. For example, the protagonist in 2nd Run will enter the police station from a different entrance and find several doors already unlocked by the protagonist from the first playthrough. Completing 2nd Run is also required to experience the true ending of the main campaign.

Plot[edit]

In 1998, two months after the events of the first Resident Evil, most citizens of the US mountain community Raccoon City have been transformed into zombies by the T-Virus, a biological weapon developed by the pharmaceutical company Umbrella.[2][3] At a gas station outside town, rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy meets college student Claire Redfield, who is looking for her brother Chris.

After being separated in Raccoon City, Leon and Claire agree to meet up at the Raccoon police department. The building is which is infested by zombies, and other monsters including the T-00[b], the latest model of Umbrella's Tyrant line of bio-weapons, dispatched to hunt down and kill any survivors. The creatures and various obstacles prevent Leon and Claire from actually reuniting as they are forced to stay on the move to survive and find a way to escape Raccoon City.

Resident

Claire scenario[edit]

Claire discovers that Chris left the country before the outbreak. She saves a little girl, Sherry Birkin, from a monster and promises to reunite her with her mother. The corrupt chief of police, Brian Irons, abducts Sherry and takes her to an orphanage. Claire learns that Umbrella bribed Irons to cover up illegal activities including the use of orphans as test subjects. Irons abducted Sherry to obtain a pendant she wears, but discovers that Claire possesses it. He offers to trade Sherry for the pendant. Sherry tries to escape on her own, but the monster stalking her appears and kills Irons. Claire and Sherry are cornered by the tyrant, Mr.X, who is then, killed by the monster stalking Sherry. The monster disables the elevator, causing it to crash and knocking Claire unconscious.

She is awoken by Annette Birkin, Sherry's mother. Annette reveals that the monster chasing Sherry is William Birkin, her husband and Sherry's father. William and Annette developed the G-Virus for Umbrella' underground lab facility, located directly under Raccoon city. When William planned to sell the G-Virus to the U.S. military, Umbrella sent commandos to confiscate his work; William injected himself with the G-Virus to survive. The mutated William attacked the commandos, shattering vials and spreading it to rats, who carried it to the city. William is now a constantly mutating creature obsessed with infecting Sherry as a method of reproducing itself.

While Claire was unconscious, Annette locked Sherry in a vault for her protection. When Sherry falls ill, Claire rescues her. Annette realizes William already infected Sherry and has Claire bring Sherry to the Umbrella lab, where a vaccine for the G-Virus is stored.

Inside the facility, Claire uses Sherry's pendant to unlock the vaccine, but William attacks her again. Claire sends Annette to administer the vaccine while she defeats William. After defeating William, Claire reunites with Anette, who has managed to cure Sherry before succumbing to her wounds. The Umbrella facility initiates a self-destruct protocol, and Claire and Sherry make their way to an evacuation train. Along the way, Claire discovers that Leon also found his way into the facility. After initiating the train's launch, William reappears on the train platform, forcing Claire to defeat him once again.

Games

Leon scenario[edit]

Leon is saved from an infected dog by FBI agent Ada Wong. In the holding cells, Leon finds Ben Bertolucci, a reporter imprisoned by Chief Irons for investigating Umbrella. As Ben explains Umbrella's involvement in the outbreak, Mr.X (Umbrella's insurance policy to remove all witnesses) kills him. Leon is grabbed by Mr.X, but is saved again by Ada. Leon convinces Ada to let him help retrieve a G-Virus sample to prove Umbrella's involvement.

These objects may be filled with solid colors, patterns, radial or linear color gradients and their borders may be stroked, both with adjustable transparency. Rectangles, ellipses, polygons, arcs, spirals, stars and 3D boxes) and text. Free computer graphics download.

In the sewers, Annette Birkin opens fire on Ada; Leon takes the bullet and falls unconscious. Ada pursues Annette deeper into the sewers, but is knocked into a trash compactor. Leon rescues her, and they descend to Umbrella's lab in a cable car, where Ada kisses Leon.

Ada, injured, entrusts Leon to obtain the G sample. In Birkin's lab, Leon obtains a sample, but is attacked by William. Annette tries to kill William, but is mortally wounded. Leon defeats William and tends to Annette, who warns him that Ada is actually a mercenary who will sell the virus to the highest bidder.

Resident

Leon confronts Ada as the lab's self-destruct protocol begins. Leon refuses to give up the sample, but Ada is unwilling to shoot him for it. Annette shoots Ada and dies. Ada falls off the bridge; Leon catches her, letting the virus sample fall into the abyss. Leon loses his grip and Ada falls.

Leon joins the escape train and finds Claire on board. He is ambushed by Mr.X; Ada, having survived the fall, tosses a rocket launcher onto the platform, which Leon uses to destroy Mr.X. Leon jumps onto the train, reuniting with Claire and Sherry.

Ending[edit]

Claire, Leon and Sherry are attacked by William, who has mutated again. Leon and Claire decouple the train, leaving William to perish in the lab explosion. Leon, Claire and Sherry vow to continue the fight against Umbrella.

Development[edit]

Promotional booth at E3 2018

The original Resident Evil 2 was released for the PlayStation in 1998. Following the release of the 2002 remake of the first Resident Evil for the GameCube,[4][5][6] Capcom considered a similar remake of Resident Evil 2, but series creator Shinji Mikami did not want to divert development away from Resident Evil 4.[7] In August 2015, Capcom announced that the remake was in development.[8] No further details were released until E3 2018, when Capcom revealed a trailer and gameplay footage.[9][10]Hideki Kamiya, director of the original Resident Evil 2, said that he had pushed Capcom to create the remake for years.[11] Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi said the team was striving to capture the spirit of the original game, and that the team incorporated feedback received about Resident Evil 6, a game he also produced.[12]

To meet modern expectations, the team attempted to make the remake more realistic; for example, Leon no longer wears large shoulder pads, which were added to distinguish his original, low-polygon model. Though they strove to make a 'modern, accessible' game, they focused on horror over action, hoping to preserve a claustrophobic feel.[13] The game uses the RE Engine, the same game engine used for Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which allowed for Capcom to modernize the gameplay.[14] Producer Tsuyoshi Kanda acknowledged the difficulty of making zombies seem scary and threatening, as they had became ubiquitous in entertainment media since the release of the original Resident Evil in 1996.[13] By removing the fixed camera angles, the team had to use different ways to conceal enemies, using elements such as room layout, lighting, and smoke.[13] The new camera system also affected the sound design, as it no longer made sense for sound to come from a fixed source.[13] The faces of several character models are based on scans of real people. Leon S. Kennedy is based on model Eduard Badaluta, Claire Redfield is based on model Jordan McEwen, and Marvin Branagh is based on music producer Patrick Levar.[15]

Resident Evil 2 was released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows worldwide on January 25, 2019.[14] The game supports enhancements on the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, offering either 4K resolution or 60 frames per second.[16] A demo known as the 1-Shot Demo was released on January 11, 2019. It ends after 30 minutes and does not allow repeat playthroughs.[17][18]

A new game mode, known as Ghost Survivors, was released via DLC download worldwide on February 15, 2019.[19] The playable characters are Robert Kendo (No Time to Mourn), Katherine Warren (Runaway), Ghost (The Forgotten Soldier) and Sheriff Daniel Cortini (No Way Out) with the latter fourth chapter having to be unlocked.[20]

IGN originally gave the game an 8.8 in their review, only to increase it to a 9.0 after being made aware of the unlockable second playthrough that presents the story from another point of view. They stated in their review that 'Capcom did a fantastic job of resurrecting all the best parts of the classic Resident Evil 2 and making it look, sound, and play like a 2019 game.'[37]

Destructoid called it 'A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.'[24]Eurogamer described it as 'a masterly reimagining of a modern classic'.[38]Polygon said Resident Evil 2 showcases 'the very best of survival horror',[39] while Kotaku also gave it similar praise, saying it 'provides some of the best moments in the franchise'.[40]GameSpot said that with Resident Evil 2, 'the classic survival horror franchise embraces its past in a new, exciting way'.[29]

Sales[edit]

The game shipped threemillion units worldwide in its first week of sales, rising to four million within a month.[36][41][42] It became Capcom's second biggest launch on Steam after Monster Hunter: World in the previous year.[43]Resident Evil 2 debuted at number two on the Japanese charts with 252,848 retail sales, after Kingdom Hearts III.[44][45] As of March 10, the game was still among the top 20 best selling video games in Japan with more than 352,000 sold copies.[46]
