Resident Evil 2

Our first look at Resident Evil 2 remake gameplay footage was shown during Sony’s E3 2018 presentation last week.

Coming to PlayStation and Xbox One systems as well as PC, the game will feature a 4K 30fps mode, and another mode for 60fps on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

Originally released in 1998, the remake was announced back in 2015, and Alex seemed rather impressed after getting his hands on it at E3.
