Up until this day, "Resident Evil 2" is still considered by many as one of the scariest avenues in video gaming. There were earlier reports that the popular survival horror video game, first released in 1998, will be remastered, but fans were positively surprised when Capcom revealed late last year that the game will be given a "from the ground up remake."

Now, loyal gamers are eagerly asking: When will the "Resident Evil 2" remake be released? Although the game's developers have not yet given any definite release date yet, it is safe to assume that it will be released as early as next year.

According to the gaming website VG247.com, there is a consensus among followers of the video game that the "Resident Evil 2" remake will likely come out next year, packed in with "Resident Evil 7."

As earlier reported by the website, the "Resident Evil 7" teaser hinted at the likelihood that a demo of the "Resident Evil 2" remake will be released with it in 2017.

So what exactly are eager gamers looking for in the "Resident Evil 2" remake? Engaging discussions posted on GameFAQs.com can provide us some ideas.

Based on the comments of some gamers in the forum, hardcore fans until now think that voice acting is one of the areas of improvement for the "Resident Evil 2" remake. Most of them found this aspect of the game a bit lackluster.

However, given the improvements shown in the voice acting of "Resident Evil 4," fans are optimistic that this problem in the original "Resident Evil 2" will be adequately addressed in the upcoming remake.

Fans also agree that they would like to see again all the enemies or so called "B.O.Ws" from the original "Resident Evil 2" in the remake. However, some think the addition of new creatures--including zombie children or cats that went back from the dead--will be welcome in the remake.
