What happened to the spiders?

[Vixus]

I didn't encounter the spiders or plant enemies, there were plant zombies though? Why remove? I thought it's a remake...

[talgaby]

Because spider with graphics like these would lose sales. A lot. There is a reason one of the first-ever Skyrim mods was a spider removal.
But yes, there are plant zombies.

They used the "realism" pretext to remove some enemies that cannot be animated through mocap.

[Simalf]

tbh i was disappointed not seeing them.

They shoulda used mocap for those enemies anyways.

Phobia excuse is probably a thing though. Pity.

[littleChama]

Hopefully they decide to put more enemies on RE3R or else it will look lazy

bru I hate spider but when I was playing RE 1 Remaster and saw the spider I knew I had to overcome my fear. These ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ should have stay away from horror games if they are afraid of spider.

Any spiders aside from long-legs that keep to themselves up in the ceiling corners terrify me. While I don't think not including took anything away from RE2R. I would have liked to have seen them. Dealing with virtual giant spiders in games is cathartic for me.

[Simalf]

Re2 is supposed to be a Horror Game and if they remove Spider's cuz they are tooo scary....

thats kinda stupid.

[Nick Naughty]

That would be silly to remove spiders because they are too scary, lets just remove pennywise the dancing clown from "It".

[BloodDragon]

They removed spider because they are hard to animate same with the crows who would have been a nightmare with RE2 graphical fidelity.

There was like four in total in the original. They were replaced with the G-Adults because, as others have said, spiders are a serious pain in the ass to animate and wouldn't have been very different from lickers.

It's not like you can mocap anything. Mocap works for bipedal human-shaped creatures, and apparently for dogs too, but certain enemies would require traditional keyframing animation made entirely from scratch.

How often do you see birds as enemies in a third person shooter? Clipping problems all over the place, getting stuck on objects, general weirdness with physics, getting stuck in place because a bird is in the way, they're never used because they're a trainwreck of problems for little payoff. Not to mention in a game like this they would be damn near impossible to hit.

Remember what Skyrim butterflies were like before their collision was removed? Imagine that, but the butterflies are actively trying to kill you. In very narrow hallways.

That's reasonable.

But I was talking about spiders, which something tells me they removed because they're generally moving away from the overgrown animals theme.

I haven't gotten through Skyrim so I can't recall but I think I get what you mean. I'm generally glad the game doesn't have small fast hard to hit enemies
