@pr1mus: Stuff from the novelisation or something? Or Resident Evil Apocalypse... Though if they're as dedicated a fan as they say they are to Resident Evil, then they shouldn't even dare acknowledge any of that shit's existence :P Plus I don't recall much of that movie actually being set in the R.P.D. station.
Still, whatever they're planning, it's neat to hear they'll be tossing in some of their own ideas into the pot.

It still boggles my mind how Capcom hasn't done any kind of remakes of 2 in this exact style. There's clear demand for such a thing and Capcom could use the goodwill.
What could they realistically do with it, though? They could make a faithful remake ala Mikami's remake of the original, but that unfortunately wouldn't sell very well. In fact the first remake didn't sell very well in the first place, which is what inspired Mikami to try to broaden the appeal of the series. Though to be fair, having it stuck on the Gamecube can't have helped those sales numbers. The other option would be to remake it in the vein similar to what the series looks like now. And while I can't profess to speak for everyone who'd want an RE2 remake, but if they're like me they'd rather not see such a classic get butchered like that.
I would presume that Revelations was their answer for trying to come to a compromise of how a modern-day RE2 remake might look, but I don't think that sold especially well. At this point they're probably more focused on trying to decide what in the Hell Resident Evil should even look like nowadays, before they could then port those ideas to a hypothetical RE2 remake.
I've always wished they would just at the very least release an Ultimate RE2 edition that could pack all of the content amongst the game's many, many ports. But I guess they're too busy working on yet even more ports of RE4... Which is understandable I suppose. You can't get any safer than trying to bring Resident Evil back in the minds eye with the most universally loved one of the bunch.
