It's not got the production value of the REmake, but anyone itchy itchy for some remake of Resident Evil 2 might want to try the brand new Alpha release of a fan-made game made in Unity Engine. They've just sorted out servers and the download link is finally available; note if you do play this, it's an Alpha. So, expect bugs and un-finished things, but the bulk of the game is perfectly playable!

The developers when releasing this Alpha:

Enjoy the Alpha Version of Resident Evil 2 Reborn!

We want to repeat everybody that this game IS NOT the complete version, IS NOT a Capcom official game, IS NOT supported by Capcom and IS A NO-PROFIT remake.

You have to remember those important things:

1- You can play it in two different ways, with two different kind of concept:

- Classic 3rd person: is like a remake of the old game (in 3D)

- New 3rd person: is a true horror-dark videogame, with a new concept of fear

(Anyway We added a camera-change on the fly while you play)

2- THIS IS AN ALPHA VERSION. The game NEED to be played with the requested PC specifics to be enjoyed to the fullest and with the REAL QUALITY; of course We must improved it in the next weeks, this is a small part of our global work usefull to have your feedback (the huge part of the final game has already made, also With our new musics and our new sound effects).

Enjoy our Alpha Version and report us everything could help us to make a more refined version of the game!

Initial impressions seem positive, with obvious complaints pointing to bugs. I'm busy downloading it myself, anyone else interested? Or waiting for Capcom to make one themselves? Perhaps if the re-release of the REmake sells well they will!

For a second there I thought this was going to be an official remake and was really excited. RE2 is my favourite classic RE game. Especially the B-side story (Leon->Claire). At some point I really hope Capcom do something similar to REmake with RE2, but for now, that on rails RE shooter is the closest we're going to get to one, I think.

This version looks interesting, so I may check it out. Thanks for sharing, Merc!
