It seems like a remake of Resident Evil 2 actually might happen after the success of the Resident Evil HD Remaster. Capcom took to Facebook to ask the fans what they actually want from the brand Resident Evil, asking:
"We would like to express our deepest appreciation to all Resident Evil fans, for your passion, enthusiasm and continued support for the Resident Evil brand. Enthusiasm for a Resident Evil 2 Remake is something we've been hearing from you over the years, and has drawn some recent attention in the media.
However, as the team owns the RE brand, we're not certain how we feel about this approach, and would like to ask your honest and frank opinion about the "Resident Evil 2 Remake" and what the brand identity is supposed to be about?"
The response was, as expected, huge and more that 10,000 people has commented on this with opinions about it. Most seems to be very positive, and others detailed wishes on how it should be made and what they want/don't want in a remake of Resident Evil 2.
The overwhelming response led to an answer from the Resident Evil team that seemed humbled by the huge interest.
