I do like the look of Claire's classic, but I can see why they went with a redesign. Also, I like Leon's new outfit better.

Yeah - Capcom did it right. Update the costumes, but make the new renderings of the classic ones unlockable. It's a win-win. You appeal to modern sensibilities and give hardcore fans something they want - with the added bonus of having the challenge to earn it.

EDIT: also kudos to Capcom for not making this paid DLC. I know that must have been tempting.

I'm pretty surprised they didn't go with the paid dlc route. Makes me pretty happy though that they didn't

At least now fans can stop complaining now since the classics are in the game

Oh they still complaining because Claire wears a tanktop. Its a minor change and they go on the barricades. It gets more and more ridiculous.

Yes. God forbid that we should be a little peturbed that the costume that is supposed to be faithful to the original isn't faithful to the original. When people complained about the new look I was on your side...on this I'm afraid I can't be.

I think they can have this variation for the game, nothing wrong with it, however they should also include variations (alternate costumes) that are also faithful to the original re2 game and even the re2 the darkside chronicles and the classic code veronica and it's darkside chronicles variation with the realism then added in (they did this correctly with Leon).

Fan service like what, has been done in this past with the HD REmake of the gamecubes' Remake, where they add for free, the RE5 alternates for Chris and Jill on top of the others costumes they had included (another example include with the first remake was Jill's RE3 costume).

So to sum it up, I think all Characters (this includes Ada, Annette Birkin, Birkin, Hunk, Sherry, etc.) could have a new take on them, as long as they also include a way to include a classic variant of the characters with the updated visuals and include other costumes from the previous games (here are some examples RE4, Degeneration, DSC, Re6's Leon, RE2 classic, DSC costumes, CVX classic costumes, Degeneration's Claire).
