Since Capcom seemed like they were never going to bother putting out an official Resident Evil 2 remake, fans took matters into their own hands with Resident Evil 2 Reborn HD, an HD remake of the original PS1 game powered by Unreal Engine 4. The trailer for this unofficial fan game made significant waves last week, and Capcom is paying attention, as they have started gauging fan interest through the official Resident Evil Facebook page.
Their initial statement came from a representative of the Capcom R&D Division 1 department:
The potential Resident Evil 2 remake has yet to have an official announcement made or anything of that nature, however, it now has more potential than ever before to actually get released.
