I have never played the original RE, or any of the PSone games. My first RE game was 4. After that I bought every single game that came out... I could never understand die-hard fans fascination with the original game and it's sequel until now. I'm loving the living hell out of this game after buying it yesterday. I especially like how the puzzles aren't hand holding sessions. Man... if only The Evil Within was like this the whole way through....

We need more games like this. I don't even mind the camera angles. I'm actually legit scared of the crimson heads...

 

[Dai101]

I can't solve the Key with the Armor emblem puzzle. I'm just staring at the screen like o_o ...

It'll be a while before I beat this game.

This game is really doing it for me in a nostalgic way. I beat it at least twice on GameCube when it came out, and I can't believe how terrible I am at this game now. I forgot pretty much everything I'm supposed to do and I'm not good at dodging zombies at all.

I really like the updated controls. I don't think they detract from the game at all - it's the fixed camera angles that cause the tension, not just the controls.

 

[TheSeks]

They need to bring the Subtitles for the Deadly Silence version over if they're going whole-hog on the original voiceacting.

I'm fine, I fell in a pool of soft snow. Lucky me.

But deep inside, we all know who the true hero of biohazard is.

There are a number of puzzles that you will encounter earlier than you actually have the tools to solve them.

I pray for a PSN PS1 classic release

And for that item, mentioned.. I actually think that's the last item I haven't collected. It's either in the treasure box or still waiting in that one room.

I was expecting to put all three MO Discs into the GameCube to unlock the door, must be something I am missing.

EDIT: Reading the security protocols file, seems there are multiple GameCubes hidden throughout the area.

I'm in NY so we're getting buried too. Can't wait to get some game time in between using the snow blower, lol.

Stay warm brother!

Yep. They're 3 of them, you need to put one MO disc in each GameCube.

They're scattered around in the lab, not really hard to find'em tho'

It's pretty linear. You have roadblocks that stop ALL progress until they're resolved.

I'd say it's very open ended but linear at the same time. A very good balance.

Indeed. Looks like a very bad dye job.

There's obviously certain things you have to do to progress but a lot of the stuff in the game can be tackled different ways at different times, you can do this instead of this or avoid that entirely to trigger something else etc.

Like he compared it to CoD and Gears, it's nowhere near that imo.

It's the former.

 

[Airgetlam]

Yeah that's normal.

I really hate how they added that very easy difficulty in there to throw new players off thinking it was the standard easy > normal > hard when it's really very easy > easy > normal.

Yeah. I didn't know that either. I only found out when my friends asked me why I was playing Resident Evil on easy. I kept saying it was on normal and that I chose the middle option. They didn't believe me.

 

[Curufinwe]

I thought something was up when I started accumulating tons of first aid sprays but I didn't actually realize till I beat the game as Jill and only got two of the difficulty trophies.

I just burned one zombie and we came back a crimson in about 5 seconds, what the hell?!?!

 

[MadClacker]

People want that horrible cheesy voice acting in REmake?

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Let's face it, the new voices are pretty cheesy themselves.

 

[Cudder]

Is there any method to pushing monsters off of you? Is there a button you're supposed to mash, or is it all bullshit like down+b in pokemon?

Just mash the directional buttons.

Rotating the left analog stick gets zombies off of you, not just mashing.

 

[-MD-]

Mashing the dpad works, it's what I do.

 

[Alo81]

Mashing the dpad works, it's what I do.

Does it work under RE6 logic, of spinning stick + mashing D-pad frees you twice as fast?

 

[Skullface]

Thank you! Same for dogs?

 

[Dance Inferno]

Does it work under RE6 logic, of spinning stick + mashing D-pad frees you twice as fast?

RE6 involved using both analog sticks to move, but since the second analog stick doesn't do anything here except a 180 turn I don't think it works that way.

 

[bryanee]

The new controls make dodging enemies really fucking easy.

 

[TheSeks]

No. It just prevents two more bites/more damage than one. IIRC Bio2-3 allow you to prevent total damage if you mash fast enough but it's been a while so they probably fall under the "do less damage" rule.

(Also what is up with your avatar? Rainbows now?)

 

[televator]

Sounds more like you missed a downed corpse. Not one that you shot down, but one that the game put there. I know there's at least like 3 of them. One in the kitchen (?), one on the first floor of the west wing stair case, and the one leading into the trap room of the west wing second floor. Zombies don't turn right in front of you right after you put them down, and their corpses disappear once burned.

 

[Alo81]

I know the other analog stick doesn't, but I figured since you can use both the d-pad and left stick for movement, maybe mashing both in conjunction would mean 2x as fast breaking out.

No. It just prevents two more bites/more damage than one. IIRC Bio2-3 allow you to prevent total damage if you mash fast enough but it's been a while so they probably fall under the "do less damage" rule.

Thanks for the help, but i had just shot him down and burn him, the zombie came back to life in about 5 seconds, maybe a bug?

Guys I just can't get into Resident Evil 1 and REmake for some reason

The only old school RE that I managed to beat from straight to end was Code Veronica.

There is something about REmake that just destroys me, the fact that the corridors are all cramped, Crimson Heads, that I can't do shit with the knife (I absolutely used my Knife a lot in Code Veronica), I don't know

People help me, what I'm doing wrong in engagements, how am I supposed to evade shit and use the knife to save ammo.

Lol if you can trudge through Code Veronica this should be no problem. Kill and burn the zombies in frequently-used corridors, if they're in a dead end room leave them alone unless you absolutely have to.

Also, the hardest difficulty that you can start on gives you plentiful ammo eventually, just not early on.

I wouldn't recommend messing around with the knife when you're just starting out.

Throw the knife in the box. Unless you're really skilled, have practiced a lot and go for a knife challenge it's useless. Don't let it's overpowered state in CV trick you.

If you're playing on Normal or below you can kill most enemies without worrying too much. I'd only start the killing though until you have the means to dispose of their bodies (And do so if they're in often travelled corridors.) and scrounged up a decent ammount of ammo. Usually the first zombies I actually kill are the three zombies in the stair case room were you enter the eastern save room. (The one were you also find the canteen.)

Get zombies close enough to lunge for you, then run past.

After certain events zombies burst through the windows in some rooms if you walk through them again or if you enter a corridor from a certain direction. If these events screw up your game too much it's good to think about in which order you tackle things in the mansion, a lot of these events can be completly bypassed that way.

Remember your defense items, sometimes it's also a good idea to just run into the zombie blocking your way, instead of stocking up on daggers. Try to find good situations to deliberatly use them to save ammunition.

There's your problem. Dump the knife in the box unless you're doing a "knife only" run and don't look back. Code Veronica is the only old-school formula Biohazard that has a buffed up (REALLY BUFFED UP) knife. You have to get into the "weak as shit" mindset for the other games knives.

That knife in Code Veronica is god-like. In REmake it feels so weak.
