In the nicest way possible
A bit of bad news with a silver lining, Capcom’s recent announcement of anofficial remake ofResident Evil 2has indeed put the kibosh onResident Evil 2 Reborn;apromising looking fan remakemade with Unreal 4. On the upside, according to aFacebook postfrom InvaderGames, Capcom has reached out to theRebornteam and has invited them to share their ideas for the title.
While it sucks to seeRebornput out to pasture, it isn’t exactly surprising. Capcom couldn’t very well have its own remake competing with a free fanmade version. Given how this kind of thing has gone down in the past, it’s nice to see Capcom recognize the efforts and passion of their fan community and talk things out with them civilly. Inviting them in to discuss a few ideas may or may not be just a polite gesture, but it’s a heck of a lot better than instantly turning to the lawyers with their cease and desist nastygrams. Nice job Capcom.
