Resident Evil 2 hands-on — a masterful remaster that even a coward can appreciate

I am a coward. When Capcom asked me if I wanted to go through their haunted house experience at the 2018 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) before my demo with the Resident Evil 2 remake — which is coming out on January 25 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC — I laughed. Then I politely told them no.

I’m more of a sunshine-and-rainbows kind of guy. I’m un-ironically wearing one of my many Mickey Mouse shirts today. I was able to handle Capcom’s horror franchise when it took more an action turn with Resident Evil 4. Last year’s Resident Evil 7 was scary again, so I avoided it.
