Yasuhiro Anpo, director of the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 remakes, revealed that the decision to revisit Resident Evil 2 stemmed from overwhelming fan demand to restore the 1998 classic to its former glory. As Anpo stated, "We realized: people really want this to happen," prompting producer Hirabayashi's simple response, "Alright, we'll do it."
Initially, Resident Evil 4 was considered the starting point. However, discussions led the team to conclude that its already high acclaim and near-perfect status made significant alterations too risky. Therefore, they prioritized the older title, which required more substantial modernization. This process included studying fan projects to better gauge player desires.
Capcom's internal doubts weren't the only ones. Even after the RE2 and RE3 remakes, and the announcement of the RE4 remake, fans voiced concerns, arguing that Resident Evil 4, unlike its predecessors, didn't necessitate an update.
While the 1990s PlayStation originals, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, undeniably featured outdated fixed camera angles and clunky controls, Resident Evil 4's 2005 release revolutionized the survival horror genre. Despite initial reservations, the remake successfully preserved the original's essence while significantly enhancing gameplay and narrative.
The remake's commercial triumph and critical acclaim validated Capcom's decision, proving that even seemingly untouchable classics can be respectfully reimagined with a creative approach.
