Resident Evil 2 Remake Will Have Simple Story Mode
Resident Evil 2 Remake will get rid of the "zapping system" to feature different campaigns for Leon and Claire.
After their immense success of remastering the original Resident Evil game, Resident Evil 2 remake project was a long-overdue considering it was eventually announced back in 2015 by developer/publisher Capcom.
So, it is safe to say that this survival horror classic from 20 years ago was one of the most anticipating reveal on E3 2018 press conference. We know that even though it is based on the original game, a few aspects will change and one of them is its main story mode.

Those who started playing the game in the earlier days with either rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy or college student Claire Redfield, are well aware of a "zapping system", where each of them had their turns at the story.
Some players were very much fond of this idea and some just outright hated it because it was so tiresome to go back over the area you already played through once more so that you can have an alternate perspective of the situation. That ends with RE2 remake.

This is one of the biggest features that developers have decided to change and re-invent as producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi expressed in a recent interview. Although the "zapping system" was reused in Resident Evil 0 for its popularity, they are getting rid of that now to make it really simple.
Claire and Leon are both getting their separate campaigns for not making players choose between Claire A/Leon B and Leon A/Claire B, like they all used to. You are still getting both of their perspective but one at a time.

Separating the campaigns are the effort of making it more appealing to modern audience and stretching the whole story in 4 different scenarios cannot be any more boring that it sounds already.
In the original RE2, one campaign was focused on William Birkin and he appears as a boss and in another, players are faced by a Tyrant monster named Mr. X. In both states, Ada Wong shows up and interacts with Leon differently, which will also be interesting to see in RE2 remake version.

By simplifying campaign modes, Capcom is actually making a smart choice just like the way they added a third-person viewpoint like Resident Evil 4 to get rid of that boring fixed camera angles during zombie killing.
Currently, Resident Evil 2 Remake is scheduled for a release on January 25, 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Thanks to the RE game engine which made Resident Evil 7 possible, Raccoon City and flesh-eating zombie residents will return to its gory glory soon to hunt our heroes.
