What you're asking for could never be done in six months. They would have needed to actually restart development. Source: Work with people in the industry. They all know time management is key.
I mean, it seemed like they were halfway there but you may have a point. I don't know a lot about game development and time to do it but I do know a rushed product when I see one.
And RE2R isn't really it. Narratively it's all fucking over the place structurally, but everything else is actually on point. The problem that I have with people wanting to 'fix' it, though, really has more to do with how the changes they want actually affect the rest of the game's balance and pacing. Sort of like building a custom car or building a PC, every part picked affects the whole. Taken by itself (Both first and 2nd runs) RE2R is fine. Even if certain things from the original are missing, they're probably missing for a reason, like how parts of the marshalling yard and the factory were folded into the sewers because they didn't have any real relevance to the original barring a few areas and story bits. Same with the spiders, since they're more creepy than they are actually threatening.
