Have Faith in the New Team Behind This Resident Evil 2
Capcom announced the return of a horror classic, and, naturally, this has put many fans on edge. With Resident Evil 2 scheduled for a remake, someone had to allay some fears. Who better than original director Hideki Kamiya? The beloved dev recently took to Twitter to talk about what to expect. First off, he believes everyone should trust the new game makers.
Kamiya reported that he spoke with the new director of The Resident Evil 2 and told him, “Do as you like.” He speculates that the remake is going to be great, despite the fact that he hasn’t seen it yet. Not just great but better than the original. So it’s safe to say that these new devs have the original director’s blessing.
Will be way better. RT @BladerKoyotte RE2 is a masterpiece. Hope REmake 2 be the same.

No way. RT @djshauny1: Sorry if this has been asked before but have you seen any of the RE2 remake kamiya san?

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 also revealed that, during the production of Resident Evil 2, he was not a big fan of horror games. True enough, he hasn’t developed a horror game since he moved on to Platinum Games. Even so, we can thank him for the work he’s done on behalf of Capcom and should probably share is faith in the remake of RE2. Don’t you think? Comment down below, and stay tuned for gameplay when it arrives.
