Incredible, Tiny Details in the Resident Evil 2 Remake
Gory Zombies
Another way Capcom is showing off its RE Engine is by demonstrating just how disgusting and gory this game can get. Sure, the character models for Leon and Claire look nice and all, but don’t forget the enemies too.
Let’s start with the regular zombies. These guys are tough, and you’ll usually require four or five headshots to actually kill them. But each time you fire a bullet into their shambling bodies, the damage is instantly noticeable.
Fire a round into their head, for instance, and you’ll see them recoil from the shock, with skin tearing off their faces where you hit them.
You can fire off their limbs as well, by shooting their legs and arms. And if you choose to knife them to death, you’ll see the knife slashes on their clothes.
The Lickers look kind of beautiful in a morbid way, too, as the remake allows you to study every gory detail of their anatomy. Their forked tongues are vicious, and their sinewy silhouettes are just a sight to behold. Not that I think they’re attractive or anything… That’d be silly.
