Reactions to Capcom's reveal of the Resident Evil 2 remake were largely positive, ranging from effusive to optimistically squeamish. Publishers never know how fans will react until they see it for themselves, though, so Capcom was understandably nervous before showing it off.

"We had discussions of whether we could make a game that was everything for everyone," Capcom Europe COO Stuart Turner told GamesIndustry.biz. "For those guys who want tank controls and want fixed cameras... can we do that? But the world has moved on and these players have changed. And if we did [introduce old school mechanics], these fans might play it and actually decide it's not what they wanted after all."
