I know, I know; petitions are worthless, they never work etc. But I don't care; if there's a snowballs chance in hell of getting this made, I'll definitely spend the 3 seconds it takes to sign it, and so should you.
The creator want's the game to remade in the same style as the Gamecube remake of the first game. I too would love such a game, though I think it's more plausible that they would make it more in the vein of Resident Evil 4. I imagine a fully 3D world, with an over-the-shoulder view set within the locations of Resident Evil 2. Hopefully they will try to maintain the pacing and emphasis on exploration, and not making it a linear action game in a police station. A decent compromise must surely be possible. It might not even get a retail release, instead released on SEN and XBLA. As the engine is already in place (whether they use the one from 4 or 6) and all the locations and scenarios are already scripted, making the game is more or less only a case of creating the 3D models for everything, which should make the games budget small enough to be a financial success on those digital platforms.
So, sign the petition, spread the word. Don't stop believing, and so forth.
Edit:
Should add that this petition was created as a response to Capcom saying that the game could be remade if they saw enough demand for it, giving the petition much more potential than your average online petition.
It's also getting some media coverage. Gametrailers has an article about it, so there's definitely momentum.
