God damn, the controls takes some getting used to. Got slaughtered on easy by the first mob of farmers in the village. Are you supposed to have enough ammo to kill them all? My ammunition is depleted after about seven of those guys, so knife melee is the way to go after that i guess?

A different chainsaw man spawns near the village exit to the farm. He disappears if you trigger the one in the shotgun house though.

Yeah didn't go in the house, must be why.
You definitely don't have enough ammo to shoot everyone dead. Maybe on Easy you do, but certainly not on Normal or higher. You need to conserve and use melee/knifing from the very start.

Always go for the melee kills. Knee or headshots >run up to them >melee button prompt, if I'm remembering correctly.
Try turning off AA, others found this was causing issues.
I wonder if they just missed setting the timings of certain animations due to oversight.
There must be hundreds in the game. I'll have to just buy the rifle and check out the reload.
I actually learned that technique from watching the 60 FPS videos Capcom put out.
Headshot, run up an hit E to kick, hold space and knife them until dead.
I just reached the castle and I am swimming in ammo lol.

Headshot then kick.
Late in the game you can start going for kneecaps too.

you can kill two chainsaw guys in the village?!
I will have to restart and do this.

There are narrow paths you can get them all into. A single shotgun blast will knock 6-7 of them over/back/down to the ground or even kill them outright if you headshot them. W/ the handgun always aim for the knees to get them to stumble and then kick them for the kill to conserve ammo.
Go round to the right side of the house's second storey. No one can get behind you there, and you can jump down and run away if you somehow run out of ammo.
Any GB subscribers here should watch the RE4 coverage on last night's Unprofessional Friday show. It starts about 40 minutes in.
Brad doesn't kick down the ladder in the house and Dr Salvador ends up right behind him with his chainsaw.

The only slowdown I have been getting is coming out of saving or dealing with the merchant. When it slows down in these sections, it has to be hitting either single digits or in the teens.
I didn't go through and tweak anything so I am sure that there isn't an SLI profile for the game and playing at 1440p is probably not helping the issue (running dual 670's).

Does the frame rate of the rifle animation change at all with each upgrade ?
you don't have to kill them all. you just want to make a route to collect the items, then hole yourself up in a room where they have to funnel through a door way and make it so you're hitting chainsaw guy with the shotgun while simultaneously pushing back everyone with the spread. I like the house across from the chainsaw cutscene house

Hmmmmmm... Is that why the area just after meeting the merchant for the first time had way more enemies than I remember. I thought they were spawning out of thin air.
You can go for knee caps right at the start of the game.Leon does a straight kick to knock them down at that point instead of his typical round house. Then there's the body slam, that's always great.
That head splat.
I think when I originally played the game on ps2, I rarely used the kick or knife to conserve ammo.
Now I'm restarting encounters trying to minimize the shots I take, its fun for me that way.

I'm not certain, but I think the Wii version added more enemies in places to counteract the increased accuracy afforded by the Wii remote. This port is based on the Xbox 360/PS3 version, which was based on the Wii version, so if my recollection is correct about added enemies over the Gamecube version, your mind may not be playing tricks.

I secretly suspect that anyone who doesn't like this game is playing it like a traditional shooter and just firing bullets into dudes until they die. I think that would be pretty unfun.
That style of gameplay just clicks.
Fixed.
I know it shouldn't, but it really bothers me to see people play RE4/5/6 this way. Especially when they complain about ammo after.
It's pretty useful for all situations except long range fights. Those I-frames.
I've had some silly deaths. Like getting crushed by the
6 times on the trot because I
Thankfully that creepy Novistador area is done now and I got a Blue Eye without any hassle.
I don't think it's an oversight but maybe (I'm not 100% sure mind) that the Rifle is only only reload animation that doesn't dynamically speed up when you upgrade it unlike the others. It does seam like it's keyframed to 30fps which is why there's big pauses and jerkiness of motion. Don't know, might have to pop on one of the other 5 RE4 releases I've got to check this out. All of the alpha effects so far I've seen that are animated also feel keyframed to 30fps (light shafts, flames, lava etc) where as environment or geometry based ones are at the game speed (curtains in the wind, breakables). Not that I'm too bothered as I'm really glad that a decent PC release is in my mits now as well as being able to downsample to the moon and back.

I was referring to the headshot/kneecaps > melee > knife style of gameplay.
Ah, gotcha. Agreed.

I remember trying a No Merchant Run, so you can only use weapons procured from the environment (handgun, shotgun, broken butterfly), no upgrades with the smallest inventory space. I eventually caved and bought a larger case, but I never ended up finishing it anyway

That's how I played it the very first time back on PS2 and you quickly learn it gets you nowhere
Even though this one of my favorite all time games, I've only ever owned GC version, and only played it in during that first year it was released but man this shit really as good as I remember. I haven't been hooked on a game like this in awhile.
It's crazy how influential this game was looking back now.

An hour and a half of playtime so far. I'm liking it, nice tension.

That sounds a little too hardcore. But maybe next time...

For some reason, turning off motion blur while leaving the game at fixed 60fps made the rifle reload fps drop seem way more tolerable.

Doing one of these runs on professional is one of the most fun and tense ways to play the game. I actually ran out of ammo during a run like this once and couldn't complete the game.

Might do this for my Professional run. It's either that or Knife Only again. I think I need more time to get used to this 60 FPS before I do a Knife Only run, though.I remember trying a No Merchant Run, so you can only use weapons procured from the environment (handgun, shotgun, broken butterfly), no upgrades with the smallest inventory space.

Agreed the controls are wacky in this game, I just couldn't get used to pressing RT to ready weapons, but the Type 2 preset is easier to deal with IMO which moves ready weapon to LT (using 360 controller).

Ah it's all coming back now. I still suck mind you.
I'm having way more problems with the dynamite dudes. I think I'm trying to hard to shoot it out of their hands :lol

EDIT: Fixed it. No idea how. It wasn't the streaming software cuz it was doing it without it, too.

Yup pretty much ruined mainstream gaming
more like the industry ruined itself trying to cash in on this game's genius. Gears had the right idea, taking concepts as influence but also being its own thing...then from there, the shitshow started.

yeah, I get mad at people for blaming a great game for starting a bad trend. it'd be like blaming Scream for I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
That's generally one of the earlier mods you see.
Developers should just start including the materials with the game, they already have the assets for the other versions. Just include it as a menu option.

I don't know if anyone else has done any analysis on the surround sound, but the game does seem to use my center channel for certain things like Leon's footsteps (which don't play in my FR or FL channels at all). Environmental sounds only play in FR and FL channels. Nothing I've heard plays in my side or rear channels.
Just an FYI for everyone. Shame this didn't get a proper surround mix, because that'd make a huge difference. I'm going to test if I get proper DPL2 if I feed stereo to my amp... and no. I don't. Atmospherics and music leak a little bit to the rear speakers but sound effects all remain at the front. Ho hum.
