Does anyone have a recommendation for some articles providing a little more insight?

You can read Wesker's Report and Wesker's Report II. The first one describes the events from RE1 from Wesker's POV and quickly summarizes events from RE2 and RE3. The second one describes events prior to the mansion incident - giving you an insight into Umbrella's work and Lisa's history (the invincible monster covered in faces you fought in the game).

Or you can watch them:

What is the best approach on invisible enemy mode?

What is the best approach on invisible enemy mode?

Very easy and save often if you don't know where the enemies are placed exactly. Every enemy is invisible so that includes bosses.

Just thought I'd add to this and recommend that people read not only better translations, but also updated versions that include more story details.

Wesker's Report I
Wesker's Report II
Wesker's Extra Report

And a better video of the first report.

I choose the middle of the three difficulties when I started. Is that normal or easy?

I am to the point where things are getting hard. I overwrote my save while low on health and now enemies are starting to spawn multiples to an area. And the fast ones are making it hard to run past (crimson heads?). I just got the second mansion key. I feel like there are enemies now on every route I try to take to get to an item box to offload some stuff so I can get herbs to heal myself.

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Yeah, I really don't understand why companies even bother with leaderboards nowadays. It's obvious that within few days it will be filled with scores impossible to achieve in legal ways.

Thanks. I know that when it comes to RE stuff we can always count on you.

Middle one is easy.
Don't kill zombies.
If you do, try to headshot them.
If you didn't manage to blow their head of, burn them with kerosene.

That's what I figured. So I am playing on easy, with Chris, first real play-through.

I wish I had know that about not killing and leaving zombies when I started but I didn't realize what happened until it was too late.

You can use the D-pad if you want to use tank controls without having to change your settings. Even on the new control scheme, D-pad retains the original scheme.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Playing through this with Chris after playing with Jill makes me feel invincible, I can get bitten forever and seemingly live!

BSAA Chris should be able to just punch zombies to death though, Tyrant too, why don't they patch this in?

 

[afternoon delight]

Would a Chris Hard run compliment just beating the game for the first time in years as Jill Normal, or is Hard reeeeally hard?

How many playthroughs do you need to unlock everything in the game?

 

[Sectus]

How many playthroughs do you need to unlock everything in the game?

I think you'd only need 2 playthroughs to unlock all the modes if you play at highest available difficulty. Unlocking outfits takes 4 playthroughs (2 as each character).

Hard is hard. It's unlocked after finishing normal with a character and has even less items and stronger enemies.

Well it took 19 years but my brother and I finally beat Resident Evil for the first time.

Man there really is nothing quite like it. It's truly one of the best games I've ever played. Can't believe it took me this long to commit. Loved the whole thing and had so much fun figuring out all the puzzles. Oh and we got scared a LOT.

As for the ending we got:

Spoiler

well Barry died (gimmie dat gun), and it ended with Chris and jill leaving on the helicopter and then a shot of wesker's eye opening all infected and then credits

so did we get the good ending/true ending?

We're going to play "once again" with Chris next.

Oh and

what is the wooden board/mount thing for? We couldn't figure that out.

Congratulations! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I love this game with all my heart, and they really don't make them like this anymore. Good luck on the Chris run, as the 6 item slots are a bit of a pain, but he has his perks.

Edit:The wooden board[SPOILER] is for the room with a fireplace that you have to light. It shows a layout of the mansion 2F, and you have to use the wooden board to copy it.[/SPOILER]

ah cool thank you! how'd we do on the ending though?

 

[Palpable]

Hmm, well the only way to play a new playthrough is by going through "once again..." so there is no "New Game" option. The benefits would be if you speed run the game under 3 hours you'd unlock the infinite rocket launcher and Samurai Edge, speedrun the game under 5 and you'll just get an infinite stronger handgun called Samurai Edge. You'll also get a key to a costumes room.

I beat the game in under 5 hours and I didn't see anything about a Samurai Edge...

 

[SomTervo]

jup every area has been changed or extended. And some are completly new.

Amazing, what a great package.

Would a Chris Hard run compliment just beating the game for the first time in years as Jill Normal, or is Hard reeeeally hard?

I did hard with Jill because I can't put up with 6 inventory slots on any difficulty and it wasn't too bad. If it wasn't for less ammo and health items, I wouldn't have even noticed the difference. The biggest thing is that halfway through the game when the game normally starts to give you more magnum and grenade rounds, here on hard it's still giving you just handgun bullets.

I watched someone play the hardest difficulty of Last of Us and he died at one punch. That's too much for me. This was fine. It could have been tougher. If there was an harder difficulty for RE, I would be willing to do it.

On Grounded in TLoU you can take two strikes before death – with upgraded Health stat you can take three. However, if you were watching the player going up against Clickers (the infected people with burst open, fungus-covered heads), they are always one-hit kill. The idea being that once they've nabbed you you're basically infected.

It's still utterly brutal. Mainly because human will punch quite quickly.

TLoU is a very different kind of game, though. In TLoU the player's own moment-to-moment skill and agility and strategy can get you out of almost any scenario. Knowing when to spin and run, when to go in for a strike, where to plant traps or what weapons to deploy. It's a survival action and adventure game.

REmaster is still proper survival horror, so it's strategy and planning above all else. Though you still need to be able to shoot okay and know the movement well enough to evade from time to time.

Just bought this last night on PC. Been on a bright cheery Wii U game binge lately so I'm pretty excited to get into this for a change of pace.

I don't think I've played RE1 in any form since the late 90s, so this should be damn good! And sorry, I can't comb through 100+ pages for the answer, but widescreen is a no-no right? Just keep it 4:3?

Thanks hombres / chicas. I'll be satisfied with another Normal run, I guesssss.

Freaking love this game.

Some people seem to be okay with the 16:9, but I bet they're playing with new controls too, blech. 4:3 is pretty enough and lets you see everything, you don't need widescreen to enjoy!

How did the PS3 version specifically turn out?


Thanks!

It doesn't make you inferior, it's just.... Why? The tank controls work perfectly fine and it's what the game was designed for.

There are some framerate issues during certain camera angles in both cutscenes and gameplay, but they're far and few between, it's mostly related to the new lighting I think. Other than that it runs well and looks really good as well.

It isn't worded correctly in the achievement. You have to visit all rooms and take all the items. You have to make every room in the game go from red to green on the map and if you want a good place to start doing so is

Spoiler

saving at the labs after you put the fuel canister in it's place and power everything on. Don't go to the elevator but rather save and backtrack to wherever you want. The achievement should unlock when you reach the rooftop when you fight the Tyrant.

You don't need the clothes room, it must be done in the same playthrough.

You don't need to visit the dressing room if you don't have the key - I've got the achievement on my first playthrough. However, Clown_im_OP is right - the achievement isn't about only visiting those rooms, it's about turning all rooms green - meaning you have to pick up every single item in the game.

 

[Astral]

Invisible Enemy mode is pretty lame. I'm playing it on Very Easy to save myself the trouble. I don't like no being able to tell if I'm aiming at a zombies head or not, or when to freaking dodge them. I've been getting lucky so far but it's just kinda boring without seeing them there. I love how they're still visible on mirrors though lol.

It's not as tense as one might think. Only butt clenchy part was the Lisa showdown since I was alone.
And you also can see enemy reflections on the floor, which actually occur pretty often.

If Wesker's scenarios from Umbrella Chronicles are counted as canon (and I'm pretty sure they are) then

Spoiler

Lisa survived the jump. She is eventually killed/immobilized by Wesker during his escape from the mansion, and then finally killed in the explosion.

And while we're talking about that Lisa fight - I really dislike that when you play as Chris, Wesker is there to help you with her. And he can be pushed and fall down...

Spoiler

and yet he's still well and alive when you meet him at the laboratory and no one even bothers to ask "how the hell did you survive that fall?!"

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the thread earlier but...

Is anyone else experience odd random slowdown in areas on the PC version?

My computer is way more than capable enough to run this game, but some areas I pass through just send the game into a slow motion. Looking around online it seems I'm not the only one.

Anyone here experience this?
