Not new judging by the date, but it's the first time I see it so figured some may appreciate it.

A few things of note:

• Fixed camera angles were at the very least experimented with, maybe they even had a full build running with those on.
  
• Aiming with fixed camera was apparently done in first person, which would likely explain why the first person mod viewmodels work so well.
  
• G2 fight originally took place in a similar arena to G1, but in the water, meaning more space to navigate but tougher movement.
  
• Concept art shows unused models that include a mid-transformation form of licker still retaining most of his human appearance.
  
• Initially the inventory UI was closer to the original design in the form of a control panel, looks wrist-mounted like a Pip-boy from Fallout.

I remember the developers saying they tried first person for the game, not for the fixed camera angles. It was a celebration video where they were having dinner together. They talk a lot about stuff like that. I'll try to find it.

ooh haven't seen those, thank you!

And yeah probably fixed camera wasn't their initial vision, but they did experiment with it apparently.

It was supposed to be some unlockable bonus mode, but they eventually scrapped it. I think they threw out a lot, considering despite its long development time, most of the game was done in a year.

This is a bit of an overstatement, and I'd love to know its source seeing as this isn't the first time I'm hearing about this 'done in a year' thing

It would still be interesting to see a re2 remake that's been done like the re1 remake. If they made re2r first person I would have lost my ♥♥♥♥.

Wasn't aware of this video, so thanks, gonna give it a watch later

So I thought until I reinstalled 1 for another replay and realized how much I miss aiming for specific hitboxes on zombies.

The dodge tactics in RE1 have become stale for me now.

It was some info around the demo's appearance when some sites reported that 800 people are working on RE2Re. It was also added eventually that "in the past year or so" and "after releasing Monster Hunter World".

ok but that does not equal a game being made in a year.
especially not this game
