Has Resident evil 2 has chance to top Resident evil 7 as best in series?

[B-Cell_v1legacy]

Hello friends,

so resident evil 2 remake is going to release next month and is getting insane amount of hype to the point that it will get very positive reviews by critics and i was also left impressed that how impressive it looks.

but then RE series prior to RE7 was mediocre and overrated. RE5 and 6 were the game that become some of the most hated games of last gen and probably terrible games. RE4 was most praised yet it was incredibly overrated. RE2 remake looks leaps and bound better in every way. and first 3 games were just fixed camera games that many fans liked but i also think they were kind of mediocre.

as a result resident evil 7 release and not only the best in series but also become easily by far best resident evil game ever due to most atmospheric RE game with best controls and gameplay something lack in prior games. it was easily best game of last year. even story was best in series too. as previous games also had bad story.

so friends, do you think RE2 has chance to surpassed RE7 as best in series? or will it be fall behind?

I wish they remake RE2 in first person but third person is also fine by me. being first person it would have be amazing.

It will be one of the best remakes of all time most likely but it?s not fair to compare it to an original entry. Most people who were fond of the older style or grew up with it will likely end up saying it?s ?the best?, but people who thought 7 was ?the best? might think differently. It?s not really apples:apples.

Out of curiosity B-Cell, what is your first (native) language?

Wait, is B-Cell a bot?

Also RE4 is the best of the series, so hardly matters...

The truth is out there.

I love the X-files, but this is all I think about when I think of them:

Its a remake. Meaning if it turns out to be the best in the series... logically the original RE2 is ACTUALLY the best in the series, and the remake is just a good way to play it. Its like Metal Gear Solid. It is the best game of the series, and the best way to experience it is with "The Twin Snakes" on the Gamecube. But I wouldn't say that "The Twin Snakes" is the best game in the series, you just say that "Metal Gear Solid" is the best.

I disagree there on both counts.

Twin Snakes improves on the original in a number of ways, and falls short in a number of others. But leaving this as focusing on Resident Evil, if RE2 Remake becomes "the best," it doesn't stand to reason that RE2 Vanilla is "the best," given that the remake is effectively rebuilding it from the ground up.

To use another example, there's the original Resident Evil, and Resident Evil Remake. The remake is my #2 Resident Evil game, whereas the original lurks near the bottom. The original may have provided the template for the remake, but the remake improves on it in so many ways, to the extent that it's practically a new game, the remake gets far more credit than the original in my eyes.

It's a remake and part of it's own RE universe than the other ones like the 2002 RE remake.

Source?

There's some pseudo remakes that play fast and loose with canon (e.g. Operation Raccoon City and the Chronicles series), but the original remake was never one of them (far as I'm aware).
