This game is hard or what? I picked the option that I'd assume is normal...the one that says not too strenuous that is in the middle? First zombie took 14 rounds to kill which left me with one shot and I had to use a knife on the next encounter and I died on the next zombie. Also opened the front door and dog came through and killed me in one go...couldn't do shit.

Don't open the front door. And you picked easy mode.

 

[Symphonia]

Like RE1 but better-er.

Better in terms of...? Does it retain the original's tank controls or does it have modern-Resi's control scheme?

That it's a lot like RE but some minor changes, that add quite alot to the feeling. Expect gorgeous visuals and a surprise boss fight.

I remember seeing the GC REmake having new 'defense' items, as well as new weapons. Do they add a new element to the game? And is this surprise boss fight a 'OH SHIT SON!' moment?

*In Wesker's voice* Don't open THAT door!


Also, you picked the Easy difficulty setting.
Welcome to the world of survival-horror

From what i've seen in video previews, the gameplay is horrible. Enemies are horrible. Visuals are horrible.

It goes to say, that this remake has better visuals.

Oh well, hopefully something changes at Capcom and Resident Evil 7 is better than Revelations 2.

...edit: Hopefully, i'm wrong about Revelations 2. Considering the game isn't even out yet, the gameplay and visuals could improve significantly before release. Hopefully.

Not surprising, RE:R1 was also mediocre, maybe not bad for handhelds, but HD port was just outdated with horrible design and stupid plot.

 

[SURGEdude]

Minus some upscaled textures the game looks great. Atmosphere and art direction is top notch.

Agreed. It's surprising how good most environments look, and then a few look horrible. The worst one so far being the first room Jill is instructed to walk to after her and Berry split early on (with the statue) You can clearly see compression artifacts from the original GC build all over the floor. But overall I think they did a really good job, even the videos are better than I expected.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Don't open the front door. Don't fight everything. Just run away. Like a normal person would do in that madhouse

Edit: And yeah, you picked "Easy"^^

So it is not feasible to kill everything? Not enough ammo? I've only played RE1,2, and 4 but it seems it takes a lot of bullets to take down a zombie here. And I can't seem to get a headshot for shit. And knifing doesn't seem like a great option.

 

[Tido84]

left controll stick shaking off zombies. And yes defense weapons.

Does anyone knows if we have a ps4 theme?

Best to knife them once you take them down with a gun first.

After a while you will get enough ammo, but you still don't want to kill every single zombie you run into. Also, I don't remember if this still work in REmake, but in classic RE games zombies + shotgun pointed up (at their head) = exploding headshot.

Ya that I know but is this possible with the handgun here? I aimed up even close up and nothing.

 

[How About No]

You can, but it's random and very rare.

And they decreased the chance of the shotgun decap working in REmake, probably because, well...of one of the game's main additions

It does work, but the timing is strict because the range is too. Fire too early and you'll just knock them back as if you hit them mid level. Fire too late and you get bitten.

Chris' handgun will randomly pop zombie heads. Jill's doesn't iirc.

 

[Black Republican]

its been a awhile since i played the original, but does this remaster have new puzzles?

Main additions? Is there a new beastie to kill or what?

 

[How About No]

Yep pretty much if you were able to 1hitKO every zombie, half the fun would be gone. Because reasons. You'll find out.

 

[FDC1]

PS4 EU version here. I downloaded the first 3GB which should allow me to start the game but I have a lock next to the start option and when I press X it says "impossible to use...". Anyone with the same problem? Is this a licence problem?

Edit: yeah, it was a licence problem, it's corrected after I restoed them. First time it happens to me.

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Oh, so you don't know? You're in for a fun time then. :3

 

[Bl@de]

Hope he is not 14 ... like I was when I "found out". Turned off the damn gamecube and didn't play the game for a week.

It's decided, I'm buying this.

 

[LegendX48]

I didn't know player deaths were censored :\

Oh oh OH. This makes me excited to keep reading this thread just to see your reactions :lol

 

[joe2187]

how are they censored? There's alot of gore and violence in this.

 

[drotahorror]

max everything. have 2500k and 7950. 60fps no dips. I think they use double buffer vsync though and it screws with my framerate. Vsync off is still locked at 60 but cutscenes have tearing. No tearing in gameplay though.

Also, mouse cursor is stuck on screen. I'm sure you've got a place or two to hide it on your monitor though.

I lied. There is tearing in gameplay w/o vsync on it's just way more prevalent in cutscenes. It's not that bad in gameplay though.

 

[KyleCross]

how are they censored? There's alot of gore and violence in this.

From what I remember seeing in youtube videos back in the day, whereas the PS1 game you'd get gored something fierce in REmake most deaths consist of a blood spurt and your character letting off a death groan before hitting the floor like a ton of bricks.

 

[Teknoman]

Im surprised they actually added breast physics.

 

[Tesseract]

those were always there

Each weapon has a certain damage range and the one from the handgun is pretty wide. You can't really influence it, sometimes you kill a zombie with 3 shots and on your next playthrough it takes like 10 shots or more for the same Zombie. It's always been like that in classic RE, it's really the only thing that makes regular zombies dangerous. "One more shot should do it!". And then it doesn't and he gets you because you didn't back away in time.

And since you and some other first-timers brought up the knife...that's only really good for knife-challenge playthroughs. If you run out of ammo you're better of trying to run past them then to engage in knife-battles.

Speaking of running away...I'd suggest you do exactly that with the first zombie.

 

[Garibaldi]

Do we get Wesker's report with western releases? Or was it a Japan only incentive?

 

[Jb]

I tried to go back a few pages in this thread to see why the game can't be purchased on US PSN despite people apparently playing it on Gaf, did you have to pre-order it to be able to play it today? Is the official release date later in the week (OP says 20th). Thanks!

 

[JimmyRustler]

its been a awhile since i played the original, but does this remaster have new puzzles?

Yes, every single puzzle from the original has been changed in some way and there are new puzzles as well.

They did the same with the japanese PSN release in november, people who preordered the game got it earlier...but it was just a difference of a few hours, so I wouldn't worry too much.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Hmm. I downloaded the 3gig file and could get started just fine. At one oint it says ''cannot continue until download is complete''. It's just there is no indication my PS4 is downloading anything. Not in the OS downloads list at least...

It is still downloading. Hit information on the game icon

 

[Symphonia]

I'm borderline excited slash terrified to find out.

Just started to download now.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Thank you capcom for giving the ps3 version of this with the ps4 version. Now more people in my family can play this

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

Chris' handgun will randomly pop zombie heads. Jill's doesn't iirc.

Chris' handgun is Jill's handgun.
Both get these random head-blasts (maybe in RE1 it was only Chris but in REmake Jill also gets them).

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I have an issue with EU PSN. I just bought Resident Evil, but it wont download =[

 

[Teknoman]

those were always there

Oh guess I just never noticed them before. Only played Chris Remake on the Cube. Coming off The Evil Within, i've got to get used to not getting so close.

 

[Almighty]

I completely forgot about this. Well i guess that is another game i have to add to my wishlist.

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

Yeah Shotty insta kill upclose. Handgun happens on random.

 

[derwalde]

anyone knows if the version from the german PSN store has english audio?

 

[Charlouie Jonesman]

That's true, but I should add that Chris does have a higher chance of it happening. One of his few perks.

That's all it has, actually.

 

[BigTnaples]

First time playing resident evil here, which character model for Chris should I use?

 

[NavyPharaoh]

Trying to play using the new controls feels wrong,especially with all the damn camera switching. God, do I hate the camera switching... That and the off screen enemies. I like that the gave isn't holding my hand though, that's one thing modern games should do more of.

 

[Thrakier]

Wow, widescreen and FXAA really really hurt the overall image quality. Sadly, downsampling isn't possible as of now. At least DSR doesn't apply, 1080p is max.

 

[-MD-]

Classic everything

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

Good to know. Yeah on my Chris playthrough it happened more often although I played on hard (after normal with Jill).

 

[Charlouie Jonesman]

They don't have any actual differences in ability, it's just a visual difference. Of course in FMV cutscenes like the opening you're only seeing his default outfit. You decide!

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

First 10 min gameplay.

Jil gameplay. Its not just a remake/port, more than that. Mansion looks gorgeously scary.

Oh ok weird. Not sure why they'd do that. Thanks for the info.
