      From the excerpts in the trailer it looks like they’ve only updated the graphics. Too bad because I always thought the controls were shoddy af and ruined the fun

      Looks like it’ll be very similar, the voice actor change for Frank and the character models really throw me off though.

        Oh my goodness. Thank you for pointing out the different VA. I knew something felt off, moreso than the new character models.

        Also, I can’t help but feel like the updated Frank wandered out of the basement tier of fighters from a Street Fighter title. I feel like he should be chubbier and ruddier. I can’t speak for the direction they took the character in later installments but he always felt like kind of a goober schmuck whose “instincts” finally paid off. I like that characterization, especially in light of the game’s satire of clueless Americans.

        I’ll keep an eye on this one. I never did get that achievement for killing the 53,000 zombies in a playthrough…

          The original is on steam now if you didn’t already know. I still love the original, I feel like the sequels kind of lost something and I’m a bit afraid this remake might have the same problem. It’s fine either way, the original will always be there, but I would have loved something more in line with the original.
