Resident Evil 2 is getting a Remake from Capcom. It is one of the fan favorite Resident Evil game so a remake for it means that there is a lot of anticipation and excitement among the fans. This is also the second time Capcom has decided to remake a mainline Resident Evil game after the original Resident Evil was remade for the Nintendo GameCube.
Resident Evil 2 Remake is still a mystery in term of gameplay and design, but the original game director, Hideki Kamiya, seems to be confident in the direction for the game and trusts the development team with their work on it.
In a set of messages on Twitter, Kamiya confirmed that he has met the director of the game and told him to “do as you like.” He also speculated that the Remake might be even better when a fan questioned him, however he later clarified that he hasn’t actually seen the game yet.
Will be way better. RT @BladerKoyotte RE2 is a masterpiece. Hope REmake 2 be the same.

I went drinking with him last year & told him "Do as you like". That's the way directors should do. I trust him & his team 😉 RT @GameEvilKnight: Do you think they will do your game justice ?

It' not necessary. RT @RoboGuy2K: Even if you aren't officially involved, has anyone working on REmake 2 come to you for advice on it?

Kamiya-san also reminisced about the days when he was working on Resident Evil 2. It was his first project under the direction of Shinji Mikami and even though he hated horror games, he still had to work on the project.
Thank you for lots of messages ! RE2 was the first game I directed. I was young & immature but worked furiously. It brings back a lot of memories 😉 Thanks to you fans I'm here now.

Mikami told me to make my name bigger in the end credit becasue I was a director, but I thought it was too much for me, so I used oblique type. Mikami was like "You're joking."

I asked a programmer to make mirror system to reflect enemies in it. But after all the enemy(licker) appeared breaking though the mirror. I was like "I'm sorry."

The present problem is, I'm really interested in how the RE2 remake will be, but I HATE horror game, so… how do I play it?

Resident Evil 2 Remake has been rumored to be finally revealed this year. It was just announced back in 2015 and completely disappeared once the focus shifted to Resident Evil 7. The game hasn’t been confirmed for any platforms. Hopefully Capcom can share more information about it soon, and judging from the official social media accounts, perhaps they are gearing up for an announcement soon. This year also marks the 20th anniversary for the original Resident Evil 2 on the PS1.
