Return to Raccoon City with Leon and Claire in this masterful remake of the 1998 survival-horror classic—complete with new features and quality-of-life enhancements.
As someone who has played this game on the PS5, It didn’t really click for me and so stopped playing after around 5 hours. However, this version on iPhone runs exceedingly well, far better than I expected while still looking incredible. Of course the game is already amazing, and though it isn’t really the best without an external controller, with a Backbone controller it is far better. I see a lot of people not really caring that much for these types of games releasing on iPhone, but for me having an all in one device that can act as a phone, media player, film camera, and a pocketable console, that’s extremely cool and useful. If you don’t want to invest in a Steamdeck or similar products, this is a fantastic way to play these types of games, especially with the new iPhone 16 Pro. I hope more developers port their games to the iPhone with similar quality to this.
Game runs incredibly well. It's actually pretty mind-blowing how smooth this can run on an iPhone. If you use an official controller or a Backbone, you're gonna have an awesomely fun time with this game. So much replay value and so addicting to improve your runs. This and RE4 Remake are how you do remakes, so glad they could bring this to mobile!Though, I am having an issue where, after the first boss and triggering the cutscene where Leon is exiting the manhole, the game boots me out and prompts that the game "has not finished installing" which doesn't really make sense on iOS. Figured I'd bring it to attention in case anyone else is having a similar issue. I cannot play beyond this point as of now. Hopefully it's just a bug and will be resolved soon.
I played on an M4 iPad Pro 11” with a controller. The port is incredibly good, I’m amazed this game looks this good on such a thin device! It has decent graphical settings, allowing you to choose Metal FX upscaling quality, resolution, motion blur etc. i opted for the second highest resolution (for higher frames) with Metal FX at Quality, it didn’t disappoint. It stayed remarkably close to the 60fps mark, and during cutscenes the framerate is flawless whilst in-engine. Titles like this make it almost feel like we are in the future on the right device.
Runs better than I expected! I had to get it since the launch discount is so good. There were some latency issues at first that I couldn’t solve manually changing graphics, so I chose the performance preset option which gives no latency and a mostly smooth 60 frames on the 15 Pro.Touch screen support for menus is an addition I’ve been begging for and it’s very welcome here! So are auto-fire and using the whole screen area for movement and camera if needed; I had forgotten my Backbone but I was still able to play smoothly because of these features.One main issue I have is with Mr. X: he’s definitely broken. Anytime I duck into a save room or the STARS office, he stays right out there and NEVER leaves. I’ve not had that happen in my 5 years with the game on consoles.Anyway, it’s RE2, one of the best RE games, somehow on an iPhone. 2024 is pretty crazy. Good port!
I've bought every resident evil port, both to support the developers who have the courage to provide AAA games to mobile gamers and be a small part in making high quality games on phones feasible. It doesn't hurt that the games are becoming more awesome and optimized with each release, and resident evil 2 remake is the best one yet, great graphics, good enough frame rates and no technical issues yet. I hope you never stop making great ports.
I haven’t felt this type thrill since playing the RE’s when they first came out, love this game but there’s another game I’d love to replay!>>>>>>Bring back the RE Outbreak (both combined into a new remake of the outbreak series!)! Multiplayer was the best of zombie shooting fun I’ve ever had in a zombie game. It would be perfect for a mobile game with online play! Oh and maybe combine something’s from other RE’s! Ppppllllleeeeeeeaaaaassssseeee!!!!! Thank you soo much for all the zombie killing you’ve provided!
