Of course, there is way more detail in every aspect of the game’s setting than there was in 1998. Most of the game takes place in a massive police station building, in which ammo and health are scarce and enemies are constantly coming in through windows and from behind closed doors. You can play either character, and each has different story arcs-so it’s advised that you play both to experience the game completely. Leon is a rookie cop showing up for work, only to find it full of nightmarish creatures.

Kennedy or Claire Redfield on the day that the apocalypse basically happened in Raccoon City. Yes, there are still some storytelling beats that don’t quite work and a structure that reminds one how often games in the ‘90s and early ‘00s were based on finding the right key for the right door (when you have a shotgun that could probably get the job done better) but this is not merely a once-great game being re-released as much as it is a great 2019 game in its own right. Overall, it doesn’t feel like a new sheen has been placed on an old game as much as an entirely new experience. Yes, the core story of the game is the same, but even that unfolds a bit differently than it did in 1998. This is not the case with “Resident Evil 2” which has been legitimately remade as a film would be with a new cast, crew, design, modern controls, and technological elements. It’s almost always purely a cosmetic upgrade that typically amounts to “same game with better graphics.” Things like controls and story rarely change. What typically happens is that the most notable games of one generation of consoles are fancied up with better graphics and sound for the current one, but the game is generally the same. First, you may not understand the way these things generally happen from console to console.
