Just now I read what the Deluxe Edition has. So it is just a bunch of skins? I don’t do costumes etc so no need to order the digital deluxe version for me then. Had they done something a bit better like classic mode as I suggested earlier, I would have gladly paid for that. Still hope it is included in the base game.

It would be fantastic if they bundled in the original game just made to work with modern OS's properly. They would play very differently from eachother anyway and it would definitely sway me.

Have you tried the SourceNext version of re2? It was made to work on modern PC's, although it is probably really hard to buy now. I installed it on win 10 the other day and it works perfect although it runs in a small window.

No I haven't actually, sounds like a good shout. Thanks for letting me know! I still see no reason for them to not bundle it with the new game.
I had the original PC version working on Windows 7 some years ago. Managed to get maximum aa and af working on it, it looked cool 
These days I just emulate it, as I cannot be asked with the setup which can be a bit involved as it is so old. Not played it since I heard a remake is happening to try and forget as much as possible to make the experience more fresh.
It would indeed be cool if they packaged the original with the game. Should be super easy for them to do really. If I was the developer I would do it as something you unlocked when you completed the game

I've just started a play through of resi 2 to fresh my memory and see what/how they change it.
Bringing a big smile to my face, really is pure magic..... even today.

For an XBOX One game, not looking too bad

We have known that for a while now, but thanks for reminding us of the painful long wait there is ahead
Your welcome.

I've played all the RE games apart from 3. The only one that I really didn't like was 6.
This looks fantastic
Nice, not bad. Happy to pay that price, but I may wait until CDKeys do a Black Friday or Xmas special code/cash back

One to support I reckon, if they make some decent money on it then we might see some others, like RE3

Price will come down a bit more before release
I am thinking we will be able to grab it for between £26-30 before release. But even if it did not come down a penny, I would be more than happy to pay the current price. Just happy they made it. Now I hope it gets loads of day 1 sales so we see Resident Evil 3 Remake

I think if you're pre-ordering with the intent to help the game do well, it would probably be better not buying from a grey key seller. GMG have it for £36.89 and the devs probably get a lot more of that money https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/resident-evil-2-pc/.
Are they still classed that these days?
Got a good point though, I wanted to support Deus Ex: MD and pre-ordered it from GMG years ago when they had a 20% off code. I will probably do the same again.
Soldato
I'm not sure, but whenever I have ordered from CD keys it always gets sent as a scan of a code, rather than a legit code you'd get from GMG etc. They are certainly much better than the likes of G2A where the code could be stolen or anything. For the sake of an extra quid or so its probably a better bet if your aim is to support the devs as much as possible.
It's a shame the 10% off code on GMG doesn't work with RE2
. If it did i'd be even more tempted to break my self imposed no preorder rule.
