Hot on the heels of Capcom’s complete Claire Redfield blowout this week, new footage has emerged at Gamescom 2018 showing off her portion of Resident Evil 2’s campaign. In this first Dengeki Online video, the heroine comes face-to-face with Sherry Birkin and her father – although fans of the original will know that the latter ain’t feeling particularly great in this instalment.
The gameplay looks solid, although the player not recognising the glaring weak point on the enemy’s arm is a little infuriating. There are also elements of the HUD and soundtrack missing, so we guess they’re not final.
Meanwhile this second clip from IGN centres on similar scenes, although it includes commentary from producer Tsuyoshi Kanda:
This game is surprisingly close now, with the release date set for 25th January. Are you liking what you’re seeing so far? What do you think of Claire’s character model? Shoot the big eye in the comments section below.

Looks the business. I'm gunna try and stay away from too many gameplay videos now though.
I do wonder which direction they'll take 8, what with 7 being a success and 2 looking awesome as well. I do like the first person thing they had going on, but a modern third person Resi 8 approached with the same mentality they've used on Resi 2 remake is pretty bloody appealing too..
Eugh, Birkin looks gross.
Claire's look is growing on me. At first I was like, "THAT'S NOT CLAIRE!" but then I thought "At least it's not Revelations 2 Claire."
In general, I hope Capcom stays CONSISTENT with how all the characters look from now on (now that we have "realistic" iterations of everyone).
@kyleforrester87 I say...let us switch between third- and first-person! Either that or have Resident Evil 8/9 in first-person, and then intermix third-person remakes of Resident Evil 3/CV every other year.
@keihtg to me, the Claire model looks like a young version of the Revelations 2 model. I agree the Rev 2 model looks kinda... not like how I'd expect Claire to look, but I don't think the Remake Claire is really inconsitent with the Rev 2 model, given the age difference.
As for a 3rd/1st mix, maybe.. I do think a horror game benefits from focusing on either or, though.
@keihtg
Looks right to me, factoring in 10-20 years aging and zombie related PTSD.
Can't be worse than Leon in the movies, was watching it last night - it's so wrong lol
Ah, I guess they DO kinda look the same! I would guess the story is Claire got plastic surgery between the two games to keep her lips puckered but then the rest of her face sagged around it, nose included....?
And yeah, those movies, man...there's a reason I stopped watching after the second one! LOL
Definitely keep an EYE on this game.
Yeah.. that giant eye is pretty grim!
@kyleforrester87 I think with the reception RE7 got 8 will stay first person and I hope it does I was really skeptical before I started it, probably one if my games of the gen. If they stay with the 3rd person view it'll be another remake (hopefully) RE3 probably Code Veronica
On topic - really can't wait for this my current most wanted, that boss was way more of a bullet sponge than he was back in the day
This looks really, really good. Some nice lighting.
the real question is are they bring back Alyson Court to voice her
So good! I never played RE2 but now I need this! It looks reeeeeally good
@kyleforrester87 I hope they're ashamed of themselves for those movies, that licence was an open goal to make a great movie but somehow they chose the worst director in the world.
Still this remake is looking so good and I just wish Christmas would bugger off out of the way so that I can play it
Yeah, I’m already sold on this game.
THE graphics are mindblowing.wow.l💕ve that red jacket.its of the chain playa.the graphics looks like a ps5 game.it does look better than cyberpunk 2077 screenshot graphics.word up son
Looks great beside the voice acting, she should be more panic because there's a freaking monster that attack her lol
@Deadlyblack don't say that he'll hit you with his pipe too
@keihtg Dumb
@Areus never happening
@AFCC oh so would you come to raccoon city in January to meet the undead, William birkin and the tyrant?
@wiiware nothing wrong with the acting
Skipping the gameplay for this, trying not to spoiler myself since I'e never played Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
However I am definitely looking forward to playing!
@Undead22 100%
@AFCC haha ok
