Kudos to Capcom for a major milestone!
Capcom recently celebrated the success of its Resident Evil 2 remake on Twitter. The Resident Evil franchise is a classic of horror games and movies. With several movies already out and a new Netflix series now available, fans couldn't get enough of the story of the virus-induced zombie outbreak. Since the release of the first game in Japan in 1996, 28 games have been released, including the Resident Evil 2 Remake.
Resident Evil 2 Remake decided to improve on the 1998 original Resident Evil 2, which was first created for PlayStation. The game follows police officer, Leon, and a woman searching for her missing brother, named Claire, as they enter Raccoon City two months after the events of Resident Evil. Although they arrive at the police station, it is overrun with zombies. The two must then attempt to escape. The remake fixed the camera angles to look more like a modern third-person shooter. Another improvement added the ability to save more often. A useful ability in a zombie survival game. Although changes were made, the remake stayed as true to the original story as possible, even streamlining it a bit to make it even scarier. Clearly, their efforts paid off.
In Capcom's Tweet, over the end game scene image, they wrote, "We did it!!!" The paper next to the typewriter in the photo is personalized and a sweet note for the fans. First, Capcom mentions that it is "thank you to all RE fans". The total time section starts on the release date of the remake, January 25, 2019, and ends today, July 14, 2022. And finally, the number of units: “Over 10”. You can find the original Tweet below:
Fans quickly responded with congratulations. Many mention how well-deserved this success is, while others go into more detail about what the show means to them emotionally. Nostalgia for the first game that really scared them is a common theme among reviewers. Kudos to Capcom! May they continue to deliver top notch games in the future/
