The publisher's recent investor report stated that the game would be a "remastered" version, but Capcom UK's senior marketing director Stuart Turner clarified on Twitter that it had been a "mistranslation" and the classic horror game would be "a full from the ground up remake NOT a remaster.""You've been telling us for years that you want Resident Evil 2 to be remade, and we haven't been able to make it happen...until now!" Hirabayashi said in Capcom's "Special Message" announcement. "We at R&D Division 1 will do our best to take on your feedback and deliver the gameplay experience you've been waiting for."In our review of the remake of the original game, Resident Evil , we gave it an 8, stating "Resident Evil does a good job of updating the look and feel of a classic survival horror game for a new audience".
