Incredible, Tiny Details in the Resident Evil 2 Remake
The Alternative Costumes Actually Make a Difference
Finally, when you’ve beaten the game once, you’ll unlock alternative costumes for Leon, Claire, Ada, and Sherry. Not to be confused with the 98 Classic costumes that just got announced this week, the alternative outfits are HD reworks of the classic clothes these characters wore in the original game.
The coolest thing about these outfits in the Resident Evil 2 remake is that when you equip them, they actually have some effect on story cutscenes. For instance, when Leon gets injured about halfway through his campaign, his torso gets bandaged up if you have the alternate costume equipped, just like in the original game.
As for Claire, when she eventually gives her iconic red jacket to Sherry, we actually get to see Sherry’s character model wearing that same sleeveless vest with the alternative costume equipped.
Nothing against the new reworked outfits for the remake of course, but it’s just awesome to see those classic looks redone in a beautiful way that serves as a nice nod to the longtime fans.
