The zombies werent as good as in RE2, the animations, the gore, and the dismemberment was severely toned down. Nemesis was just straight up inferior to Mr X, which doesnt make sense, since Mr X was basically a prototype for Nemesis in the original.
The game relied more on setpieces than just giving the player aency to explore everywhere like the original.
I could keep mentioning more stuff, but this doesnt mean the game isnt a solid 7.5/8 game on a first playthrough. Its really good, but its hard to not be disappointed by the near perfect RE2make.
I feel like they shouldve waited for the next gen for the remake, if they were constrained by the current gen.
