Resident Evil HD's Producer Has Pitched Resident Evil 2 Remake To Capcom
Resident Evil HD producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi took to Resident Evil's Facebook page to announced that he has pitched a remake of Resident Evil 2 to his bosses at Capcom.
Hirabayashi shared the image above (which features Resident Evil's Japanese name, Biohazard) and wrote, "Right after the [Resident Evil] HD Remaster project was finished, I actually started putting together my ideas for this 'RE2 Project'. So, I just brushed it up and went to see my boss to present the basic concept of the project already…"
And that's where Hirabayashi ends the status update. Last week Capcom put out a request to fans for their honest and frank opinion about a Resident Evil 2 remake, and the comments were unsurprisingly positive.

Our Take
I would like for this to happen, and I really can't imagine Capcom saying no. The Resident Evil Remake that released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One was the biggest opening in PSN history and that it sold over a one million downloads. I bet we'll be hearing about a Resident Evil 2 remake soon.
