Guhh... Well, this was fairly predictable to be fair. You may have noticed this project, as a group of outstanding internet citizens decided to remake Resident Evil 2 using the Unreal 4 Engine. It was a complete remake as well, putting in every detail from the original game, except using modern graphics. In other words, these people put a small portion of their lives into making this, and it just gets snuffed out by Capcom because they suddenly decide they want to make a Resident Evil 2 remake as well. Strange how they made this decision right when this independent remake was just getting popular. What's the big deal? The team behind Reborn put lots of work into this project, and they were going to release it for free. Free. Will Capcom be doing that? Oh, no.
But it's also noted that Capcom weren't completely tin brained. They actually invited the team to their evil Asian HQ so they could help them discuss the game's development. I've read a couple of articles on this, and it seems that the word "discuss" seems to be the idea. Not help.
Does that really make it any better? There is no way they were going to do a Resident Evil 2 remake coincidentally this year with Reborn. You know when they made the remake to Resident Evil 1? 2002. Yea. And they were totally planning on doing a remake of the next game 13 years later out of nowhere. And they ask them to come on down to the shop for a few kind words? It's great that neither party is openly bitter about the whole thing, but these people got Copyright slagged, wholesale. Still not as bad as Project Middle Earth getting beaten in by WB because it "conflicted" with the release of Shadow of Mordor, a completely different genera of game.
