It's 60 on PC if you happen to have a half decent one.
It was iconic for the time and sometimes helped build anticipation for what was on the other side of a door, but ultimately hinders enjoyment of the game on repeat playthroughs.
I would make it maybe go one through the door or on special events with loading doors. Any other time you go back through it, it should be gone.

The upcoming RE: Revelations 2 is 60 fps on the consoles. A game from 2015. The game from 2002 is 30 fps. Let that sink in for a moment.
Huh. That's weird. On PS4 it's just resident evil. Wonder why they changed it there.

Wow, I had no idea about that. Did they give a reason why? The PC version is 60 so they obviously don't have animations tied to the framerate or anything.

In-game it's just the original title, but in the XBM on my PS3 it says "biohazard HD Remaster"
I like it, but I think I prefer BSAA Jill with Bio3 Jill a close second. Civilian-styled Jill is a bit better than the "military"/police look for me.

The PC just isn't 60, it's 30/60/Variable at that. But I'm in agreement, why is a game from 2002 stuck at 30fps on the current generation consoles.....
That removes the idea of building suspense around not knowing what's on the other side, even doors you've been through before. Special event door scenes would also telegraph it really badly. You can't say 'Expext something here!' when the whole point of the mansion was not knowing what to expect in every room and corridor. Even if most of us have played it countless times already.

Exactly. There is no excuse for this game to not be 60fps on the PS4 and Bone, IMO.
Nah, woman in uniform. All that discipline.
Or let us choose the damn title. I want Biohazard so when I press B the series is there along with the proper
Fuck the rest of the world and the band taking the name.
Plus Bio 4 is ALL CAPS while the rest of the series is mixed/all-low caps. :|
I'm really having a tough time deciding between getting this on PS4 or PC. On PS4 I could use remote play, but I can have 60 FPS on PC...
Actually, I wonder how my computer would fare. Any thoughts? I have a Core 2 Q9550 with 8 GB of RAM and a 2 GB 7870 GHz edition. I really need to update my processor some time...

Pre ordered. Never played before.I have very minimal experience playing the RE series despite loving the survival horror genre. I've beaten RE4+5, but I imagine this game is much different than those games.
Evil Within was my GOTY of 2014 because of it bringing me back to old school 3rd person survival horror games on the PS2, hope this replicates similar feelings. Any tips for a first timer? I think I'll start with Normal mode/tank controls.

Just received my key from Nuuvem and pre-loading now. Man, I'm so psyched for this game. It's been a long time since I've played REmake, and it'll be adjustment having just come from a full Resi 4 playthrough.
The atmosphere in this game is majestic and I want to absorb it all again.

4 followed REmakes tradition of being all lower-case. The first three games were all caps...and maybe Code Veronica, I have no idea.

Dude....your PC will run this like a motherfucker. You're waaaaaay above the recommended specs.
There's absolutely no reason to get this on the PS4.

FTFY.
Any news on when this unlocks on Steam? I heard that the store page countdown is wrong.
9PM PST tonight.
Parts of REmaster is 30fps regardless (like all pre-rendered cutscenes and some backgrounds in the game). Pretty sure that's why they locked it to 30.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Nice to see a fellow Evil Within fan.
Some tips:
- Play as Jill first:
. Cons: She has less health and deals less damage to enemies than Chris.
. Pros: 2 more inventory spaces, access to better weaponry, starts with lock pick (eliminating the need to find and carry extra keys), Barry helps out at certain scenarios giving her an easier time than Chris.
- If you kill an enemy but their head remains intact, then you have to burn them using a lighter and a fuel canteen. Otherwise they come back to life stronger than ever. They don't come back immediately, so don't completely freak out.
- Aim up while using the shotgun for an (almost) guaranteed headshot. Line up more than one zombie to take them all in one hit!
- Don't save each time you pass by a safe room. I know it's tempting as a first time player, but you risk screwing yourself later in the game by not having enough ribbons. On the other hand, don't freak out too badly about the ribbons either, there is enough to save comfortably. Just use them wisely.
- Use the check/examine function in the inventory screen on each item you pick up. You will need to rotate some items in order to get a better description of them.
- Press the run button + down to do a 180 degree turn. Definite life saver.
- Pressing the aim button the will automatically aim at the closest enemy. Press L1 (I think) while holding it to switch targets. If auto aim doesn't snap to a corpse, that means that the enemy is dead and you can move on.
- Have fun!
Very Easy mode gives you like 10 ribbons everytime you find a new one, by the end of your first game run, you'll have found at least 100 ink ribbons
also it's pretty hard to die in easy mode since you'll have SOOOOOO much ammo and health items.

Grim Fandango is coming to EU PSN on the same day as it hits NA PSN
you gotta believe
imma use these tips too, but do I miss out on story stuff if go with Jill first ?

There is a very easy with more ribbons? Ok, I'm in. lol
Its a port with some improvements. What else is there to speculate? REV2 is a new game on a new engine or at least an engine suited for current consoles.
Thanks for the tips. So if an enemy still has their head they can come back to life ala Evil Within?
Also do I have a knife, and if so should I use it to conserve ammo? Should I at all try running from enemies rather than using ammo on them?
I was hoping this would be the case for Transistor on its release but was left in dissapointment and had to wait till the Wednesday.
I think you have to play with both to see some extra scenes with them. I think with Chris you meet Rebecca or something. So its meant to be played at least 2 runs with each. Just play with Jill first.

Both scenarios are slightly alternate version of the same story, so no. (Though the canonical story is a mix of both scenarios, even though that's actually impossible.)
Imo some reveals in Jill's scenario work better without having played Chris's first while it doesn't really matter in Chris's scenario but overall you can start with either character without losing something important.

I just downloaded the game on PS4. Can't wait! I hope it sell well enough so we can get Resident Evil 2 remastered.
The campaign is pretty much the same for each character however Jill interacts with Barry while Chris interacts with Rebecca with some key moments for each characters.
It's called Very Easy mode for a reason, they drop items on you like a motherfucker. so many Ink ribbons, so much grenade launcher ammo, magnum ammo and health sprays.
If they have a head and arent burned, then they will come back to life eventually. AND THEY WILL FUCK YOU UP HARD!
The knife is a pro weapon, not as effective against crimson heads and hunters. The best advice is "KILL only when necessary", otherwise just leave em be lest you incur the wrath of the crimson head.
for Jill she needs to have a lighter and a flask of kerosene on hand to burn bodies, so that's two inventory slots being used up. Chris has a lighter already equipped and only needs a kerosene flask, however finding Kerosene and refuelling is tedious so I would only use it on bodies in areas you need to backtrack through
Best they can do to is port the SourceNext PC versions. Remaster ≠ Remake
It's not for performance reasons. It's probably due to the fact that the game has a lot of things that refresh at 30FPS such as background animation, video files (background animations are video also files in most cases for this game by the way). Which is why playing this at 60FPS would make for an inconsistent experience. The only reason why they aren't locking this on PC too is because the PC community hates locked framerates and would prefer options.
Oh man that would be fantastic if we could play the wntire game with no door animation loading screen.
