Resident Evil 2 Remake Possible If "Fans Really Clamor For It"
Resident Evil 2If you want it, you better ask for it. Don't be shy!
It's a definite classic in the annals of video game history, and many fans have hoped for a remake of some kind. Resident Evil 2 in high-definition would be a dream come true for hardcore survival/horror purists.
And in speaking to GameSpot, Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi said that while a remake isn't currently in the works, it is a possibility...if the fans make their wishes known. Said Hirabayashi:
"Just to lay all the cards on the table, that way there's no rumor-mongering or things like that, no, we are not working on a Resident Evil 2 remake as of now. But if the fans really clamor for it; if there's a groundswell of support for remaking that game, then I think that's something Capcom would take under consideration."
So there you have it. Get up petitions, send emails to Capcom, put up topics in forums and on discussion boards all over the Internet. Maybe if you're loud enough and Capcom is convinced that such an endeavor would yield a profit, this could happen. Remember, Capcom isn't Square-Enix, which has listened to literally millions ask for a Final Fantasy VII remake for a decade and then turn around and gives us whatever Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is supposed to be.
Even if you're bitter over what Resident Evil 6 has become, Capcom might still respond to the die-hard RE fans who want RE2 redone...

The remake for re:dc was effing phenominal. Even the lighting and shading just in some of the corridors, or the room with the swinging chandelier, was effing sexy and mind blowing and that was for the gc.
Everyone, please, just take a second or two, clear your mind and close yours eyes, and think. THINK about your favorite in game moments of re2 in glorious new graphics of the hd proportions....
Amazing :-D

2 things.
1 this will never happen because you could send 20 million pieces of paper, each tied with a 100 dollar bill, reading this is so you can remake RE2, but crapcom still will not remake it.
hell, look what they did to mega man!
im sure keji would have allot to say about this...........
dont want it to happen either, because knowing crapcom they will find a way to screw it up!
either they will say its 2012 so this has to be to 2012 standards, IE a mindless shooter, IE another RE6.
or they will stick to the true core of RE2, but update it so half a$$ed its buggy as hell and really poorly made.
so no thanks!
RE is one of the best franchises of all time!
i think crapcom has shat on it enough for now.........

***Start a Kickstarter program on the RE2 remake!***
Set the bill at however much it would cost-- and Capcom would see the ground swell supported interest. I would donate a few dollrs to have a remake and you know what?
We would eventually get there.
Same applies to FFVII remake.
I feel a Kickstarter is a great idea to solve the problem.
***If we can get everyone to believe in this idea and clamor about it maybe some game companies will take notice...

Yes we would be paying them two fold, but do you want it made or not?
also keep in mind that if you donated 1 US dollar and say 10,000 other people donate 2 US dollars and (Capcom feels that they now have enough capitol to invest in a remake)
- Your 1 US Dollar contribution means you'll only have paid one dollar extra If you bother to then buy the game and DLC content.
That is the beauty of a Kickstarter program
naysayers aren't seeing the full picture.
This is the beauty of a bad situation
because reality is these games won't be made otherwise.
