Claire Redfield/remake (2024)

FAQs

Is Claire's playthrough worth it? ›

Regardless of which character is chosen first, Resident Evil 2's remake is a must-play for fans of horror games, even if they're unfamiliar with the Resident Evil series, and it is worth the time to play through Leon and Claire's campaigns for the full experience on offer.

There is no romance between Leon and Claire. A little bit of flirting at the beginning but Leon's romance interest is obviously Ada. If you're a writer/script writer you're either a no-name one or a failed one.

Whichever one you choose, you'll have almost the exact same experience the first time around. The same cutscenes, the same locations, and much of the same items. Upon completion of that first scenario, you'll have the option of a second playthrough with the other character.

Kennedy is a former police officer of the late Raccoon City, agent for D.S.O and is a current member of Division Delta Codenamed:Anti-Virus. His wife is Claire Redfield.

Leon A and Claire A are the same length. So are Leon B and Claire B. (The difference is around 3-5 minutes between characters.) You were simply not running as much to find clues or the next place to progress, that is all.

Claire has a slightly harder time in the beginning due to her pistol not being as good. But once you get to the garage I would say that Claires gets easier than Leons by a big margin.

Leon has always been 21 in RE2 and Claire 19, even in the Japanese version because Leon has always been older then Claire.

Claire slept with Lord John, and Jamie spent the night with the widow Mary MacNab, one of his tenants. They were also both pressured into sex by someone with power and authority over them. Claire slept with King Louis XV to get Jamie out of prison.

She meets protagonist Leon S. Kennedy, and the two develop a relationship as they save each other's lives throughout the game. In the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, more background is given to Ada and Leon's romance, as the development team felt it progressed too quickly in the original game.

Claire seems a lot stronger at first as she can handle Lickers way better and the Grenade Launcher is an overall very good weapon. Caire's also seems a bit easier with her ammo until you get the flamethrower. Leon requires a bit more strategy, but he is good as well.

How old is Claire in re2 remake? ›

A 19 year old college student and motorcyclist, she is the younger sister of S.T.A.R.S. member Chris Redfield, another major character in the series. She is one of the main protagonists in Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil Code Veronica X and Resident Evil: Revelations 2.

Leon Scott Kennedy is a character in Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan), a survival horror video game series created by the Japanese company Capcom.

Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness' final scenes sees Leon deciding to cover up the truth, in keeping with the government's wishes and hoping to spare the fear it could inspire. Claire is left disgusted by his actions, and as she walks away, it appears his decision has marked the end of their friendship.

Leon S. Kennedy maintains an uncanny relationship with Ada Wong throughout the series.

I feel that Leon has a better final third of the game (more "epic" stuff happens in general), so I recommend you save his run for second. Claire's weaponry takes a little longer to get the hang of, but it's not overwhelmingly more difficult to use than Leon's. Flip a coin because it hardly matters.

In my review, I mentioned that it took me about 15 hours to complete both of Leon and Claire's first stories--which each character's scenarios running at 6-7 hours each. Keep in mind, this was the initial attempt and the ensuing runs after that were shorter due to having familiarity with the game.

In the original Resident Evil 2, Claire's A scenario and Leon's B scenario were seen as canon because Sherry gets infected in them, and this infection is confirmed in Resident Evil 6.

Leon gets the shotgun, while Claire gets the grenade launcher. Keep this in mind when you're selecting who to play as during the first run.
