The more we see from the Resident Evil 2 remake, the more excited we get. Here's a few minutes of gorgeous footage, including the opening scene, which is a conversation between Ada and Leon in inclement weather, with some of the best rain effects I've ever seen.
Perhaps more exciting than the rain (ok, definitely more exciting), is the footage in this video that shows off Ada Wong as a playable character. When some hillbilly gets the jump on Leon, the story shifts to Ada as she's walking through the sewers and using some kind of (presumably) character-specific tech, using the device to overload a big industrial fan, blowing the whole thing up so she can progress.
In the meantime, we see Leon fighting some kind of previously unseen mutant, who has a large, Birkin-like eye sticking out of it. The freak also barfs some kind of mutants into the water, which torpedo through the water towards Leon. Leon uses a quick combination of pistol and shotgun to shoot the small creatures out of the water, then blasting the bigger monstrosity in the face with loads of buckshot.
In short, it looks totally badass.
The Resident Evil 2 remake arrives on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on January 25, 2019.
