For first playthroughs, which character should you start off with? I started with Jill, but I'm still at the beginning so I could switch if Chris is recommended
Hunter's 1 hit KO don't decapitate >.>
Thank fucking God.

Jill is generall a bit easier (Not as much as in the original PS1 game but still easier.)
One of her biggest perks are two more inventory slots, that means less backtracking to make space for other items.
Most puzzles are somewhat similiar but extended, a very few puzzles are exactly the same (Though the necessary items might be found in a different place.) and then there are entirely new puzzles and areas.

Definitely Jill. Easier to learn the puzzles, routes and how to handle your items with two more inventory slots.

Cool, so I can continue on this playthrough then. Thanks

new areas??? they added new puzzles and new to the gamecube version?
wow this is the first time i'm hearing about this, well done capcom!
edit: i should re-iterate what i mean is did they add new areas and puzzles to the remaster version?

Oh, then you'll be pleasently surprised. There's a lot of new content apart from new puzzles.
Oh...no, in that case no. All the puzzles, enemies and areas are exactly the same.

I hope everyone buys this and forces Capcom to release an updated version of Resident Evil 2. I've been waiting for that game for over a decade.

sorry i think i've confused people, i played the gamecube version hundreds of times, what i mean is did they add new puzzles and areas for this remaster?
rats, i didn't think it was possible for capcom to add that many changes and additions.
not that they needed to though, game is a masterpiece and looks just as good as on the gamecube when playing on a sdtv.

Game looks so good I could cry. Tried the new analog controls for 10 seconds and wow are they bad lol.
No.
No.
No. Didn't really expect them to though.

So as someone new to this game. Should I be running from most Zombies or trying to engage? I feel like the amount of ammo I had to pump in the first Zombie alone was enough that I should probably just run...?
Also, I hear so many great things about RE2 as well. Any chance they will do a RE2Make if this sells well enough?

4 - 5 hours left till the sun goes away and I'll start playing. The wait is killing me.

I suggest to shoot (and burn) the zombies in rooms/hallways that you often have to pass through in the game. Others you should evade where possible.

What is it with decapitations and censorship. I remember being super pissed by the fact that the EU version of ninja gaiden didn't have decapitations.
Thank god black came out when it did.
*ontopic*
I'm still stuck at work unable to play this monster of a game!
Haven't touched the GCN version in like forever!

Took like 27 hits with a knife to kill the first zombie lol.
Classic B. I'm using it and it feels great.
Curtains!

Nah, I need it to be pitch black dark because I bought some candles for this game, it's gonna be one immersive night that's for sure.
My rule is, if you think you can get through by running then always run. Save ammo for the tightest corridors.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Yep, did the same thing. Lights closed and pitch black room. The only light was the TV screen itself. Feelsgoodman.jpg
This game oozes atmosphere.

A good method to dodge zombies even in tight corridors, get close enough that they try to grab you and when they fail, right there is your window to run past.
Generally though, like with all classic RE's, you only really have to be careful with ammo during the first area of the game.

You need to find the canteen and fill it with fuel first. When standing on top of a downed zombie use the canteen, not the lighter. You need to have both in your inventory though.
Widescreen 16:9. I get what the purists are saying but I just don't like empty space on-screen these days.
Equally (and believe me when I say the first three classic RE's are my favourites and I've been a RE member since '96), I'm having more fun with the new control scheme than original Tank (I'm glad it's there though should I choose)

Is there a way to get rid of the mouse pointer on the PC version?
I haven't played this since the original PS1 version. So I watched the gameplay trailer and they still have the doors that take ages to open as you go from room to room that, as far as I know, were only there to mask loading times and to make the game 100 times more tedious than it needed to be! Is there an option to turn these off or what? The unrelenting door and stair case animations were the reason I never finished the original game.

Soo. Killed my first Zombie or 2 as Jill. Seems as if every door is locked.
Damn I feel like a newbie.
Ah. Found a door. Got killed by walls and a statue lol.
This is going to take some adjusting, but I'm liking it so far.

That's not happening. I'm just hoping for 0 at this point, though that leak seems to indicate it's already happening.
No option but if you're on PC you can expect a mod for that soon.

I like the door/staircase transitions it added to the atmosphere in my opinion.
If REMake 2 is too much work, I would really like a cleaned up as best as possible RE2 and RE3 double pack digital release at a strong price point. Sure they wouldn't be amazing visually, but I just want to own them again in one place (PS4)
People who say 'lazy Capcom' are missing the point. I wanted to own REMake again and long since ditched my Wii. It's a great game and this has given me the choice to buy. I would like the same choice again.

If you can run, run! They will later come back as Crimsom Heads if you kill them, and believe me, you don't want that.

Ability to play with a partial download. 3 / 14gb. I'm assuming this is it but would like reassurance

This is going to be the 1st playing this properly ( had disc problems with it on PSX so couldn't play it)
I miss the old RE games with pre-rendered backgrounds and tank controls and loved RE2.
That and Gran Turismo were the two games that stood out when I bought my PSX.
Edit: playgo finished, game is starting up!
Here's the start up screen.

Did you play it on Xbox 360? Horribly compressed sound was the main reason I played multiplats on PS3 last gen.

Take it slow and enjoy yourself, your first playthrough will be a memorable one.
So the present issues I'm having with the PC version:
- Audio desync in in-game cutscenes. Longer the cutscene goes on the more out of sync it becomes. This only happens when playing in 60fps, issue is gone completely in 30.
- Lagging by complete random when met with complexity. For example the main hall with the mirroring floor, or the birdcage hallway with the swinging light. Sometimes these areas are fine, sometimes they're laggy.
- Putting the game at a lower resolution (just did this because I wanted to see how the backgrounds would look at a lower resolution) results in the game simply shrinking in size putting pillar and letterboxing around the game.
- The mouse cursor does not hide, you simply have to move it off the side of the screen.
I'm going to hold off for awhile before going balls deep into my first ever playthrough of this game to see if these issues will get fixed.

I am super confused about one thing.
The 360 and PS3 versions has a music glitch which makes a lot of the music play at the wrong speed and pitch. I'm pretty sure the same glitch is in xbox one, ps4, and pc versions of the game.
Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGvajuZkmDo
This is how the song is supposed to sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdANb4aGC_c
Now then, for people who pre-ordered it on steam, go to the game directory and look at the soundtrack. Play track 27. Did they "fix" it by pretending the glitched version of the music is now the correct version? I'm pretty sure this "music box" version of the music is in no other version of the soundtrack.
