It turns out that classic survival horror is still popular: Resident Evil HD, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 remaster of Capcom's legendary GameCube remake, has sold more than one million copies worldwide. When you consider that the first version of the game is now nearly 20 years old, it's impressive that this title continues to enjoy such massive commercial success. Then again, it is still utterly brilliant.
"[The game's success] is in part because the dev team made a great product, but also because of the excellent word of mouth and general praise that fans shared about the title," a spokesperson wrote on Capcom's official blog. "We want to thank everyone for rediscovering this modern classic – or thank you for trying it for the first time."
To celebrate, Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will be getting a handful of new costumes as part of an update that's rolling out now. These include fresh threads for Gina – the ridiculous Lady Hunk and Rachel – as well as Mutant Pedro and Lottie. Those of you that have played the game will be aware of the latter – yes, it's a teddy bear. This time, however, it's wielding a submachine gun and a sword. You'll shoot your eye out, etc.

I've been dreaming for a proper remake for Resi 2 since this one was released on Game Cube back in the day
@MrBert They ported them but thats just not the same!
This is, and always will be, a defining moment in survival horror.
Resident Evil and its remakes still remain at the top of the zombie game food chain!
Still need to get my platinum trophy, dome the knife only trophy and I'm currently trying to get the survival mode in under 3 hours 😊........oh and kill more bosses in Bloodborne 😊
I'm still hoping for remakes of RE2 and RE3, maybe after RE0 is released?
@ToddlerNaruto Have the confirmed Re0?
@marston1983 As far as I know it's still a rumor, but they'd be crazy not to.
I apologize if I made it sound like it was officially happening, I didn't mean to.
@ToddlerNaruto No problemo amigo, I hadn't heard anything either and was wondering if I had missed something.
I enjoyed Re0 but its been so long ago and I only played it once I cant remember anything apart from the scorpion boss on the train 😊
@marston1983 I haven't played RE0 or RE1...same goes for RE 2-4.
I came late into the fandom, have only played 5, 6, and ORC.
