5 Big Gameplay Changes in Resident Evil 2 Remake
Wooden Board System
Another interesting feature from the original game was that players could use shutters to lock out zombies from breaking windows and entering the precinct. While it wasn’t expanded on in the PS1 version, Capcom went ahead and made it a full-fledged mechanic in the Resident Evil 2 remake.
As players explore the map, they can come across wooden boards they can pick up and place on windows. This prevents any zombies from breaking the glass and slithering their way in. You never really know just when zombies will come crashing through which window.
The wooden board system adds another layer of strategy, urging players to really think about which areas they want to lock up. Since you won’t be able to seal off every entry point, you’ll have to make the most out of the limited boards you’ll find.
