Listening to more of the soundtrack, I think I know what happened. Many of the tracks are wrong, and I think Sigh of Relief is the most obvious one, which probably made the guy who wrote the song names to give it the weird "music box mix" suffix.
I'm pretty sure the soundtrack is based on the music files from the game (anyone working at Capcom could have made that easily since all the music files in the game are just ordinary ogg files).
Great version, really enjoying it again.
I do play it almost every year though, so it's not really feeling new per-se. Alternate controls are rubbish, because the camera switches frequently and can mess up your direction.
Playing PC version here, anyway to change the resolution beyond 1080? I know it wouldn't effect the pre-rendered backgrounds, but it'd give a boost to the models/3D areas...

Do you have any experience at all with these games or are you completely new? Top difficulty is the normal one but it's of course a bit of a challenge, if you don't have patience and tend to ragequit then probably knock it down at step.
Also, play with Jill. And don't feel like you need to kill everything that moves if you can avoid it.

Just hit a bug on PC version. I opened up the Steam overlay which seems to have crashed and now the game pauses everytime I try to unpause because it thinks the Steam overlay is still up. Anyone ran into this and know how to fix it? Really don't want to revert to my last save.
X:\Users\YOURACCOUNTNAME\AppData\Local\CAPCOM\Resident Evil
Tried disabling the overlay? Right-click on the game in the library list and choose properties.

Resident Evil knives worth using:
RE4: Being mapped to a button gives it great utility. Actually does decent damage. Very useful against enemies on the ground.
REDS: Again, being mapped to a button is great. But only really useful with Chris since he deals more damage, and mostly on grounded enemies, or enemies facing you with their backs.
RECVX: The holy grail of knives. Aim at their feet and slash away. Kinda glitchy, so it actually registers multiple hits to an enemy at once. Absolutely worth keeping along for the first few hours of the game when ammo is scarce. And isn't such a bad idea to keep it further in the game either.
Never found a use for any other RE knife except for just fucking around.

Absolutely pointless. Even Bio: Rev and 6's Bio.net stuff is pointless. 6's is only "worth doing" for the sake of unlocking outfits which are mercenaries only.
Revelations only claim is maybe getting a legendary item faster through passwords. Otherwise that entire site is just artificial grind and not needed for the games.

Think about it. Would you come back as a crimson head if you had no head?

If you blow their head off, no. Also, you can get a defensive knife back if you manage to shoot a zombies head off while it's in there. Pretty rare though.
I think the indie scene has a chance of making something special. Now that they know something like this is still relevant in 2015.
Hunters are the bane of any Biohazard that feature them. That damn leap attack.
especially when you have to fight two at once and one decides it wants to do its leap attack as your attacking the other one >.>
using a 360 pad on pc so I stick with the analog stick cause, well you know >.> beyond that, type A controls, might try out type B cause LB to snap to enemies is terrible.
Classic with type B, and of course D-pad.
I honestly couldn't even estimate how many times I've played Resident Evil since 1996.
Lots.
Still died in the opening half hour of playing this, though. Two bites and down playing as Jill on normal.
I was getting some really weird sound issues, so deleted the game and re-installing it, although my PS4 is having similar issues even in the UI so maybe I just need to re-start the whole system (was in rest all night last night). Ah well.
What an absolutely brilliant game though. I don't think I'll ever not find this game tense and terrifying. It knows how to get me every time I play it.

Did they change the solution to the armor knight puzzle? The old one doesn't appear to work....
So is it confirmed that the PS4 version runs at 30fps?
Never needed confirming, Capcom released that information months ago.

I was always terrible with tank controls but I like the new set-up. I've been using tank controls with the d-pad and then using the analogue stick for the new controls when things get a tad tricky.
Glad I can finally play this classic.

Went home to start DLing this during lunch break, should be ready by the time I get home.
Anyone know how it plays with the keyboard controls?

Bio3 kinda solves this with the dodge attack. Time it right and Jill (or the other characters in Merc) will roll out of the way and take a knee with the pistol to where you can unload on the missed Hunters back. I really wish the action dodge would come back with the classic formula, even if I wasn't the master of dodging.
Only tried a little, WASD movement, run with shift, 180 turn shift + S, F is the use button.

Sounds simple enough, I'm guessing zero mouse usage right? Obviously none for gameplay but what about inventory and menus?

So is this the same game that was ported over to Gamecube? I'm not sure if I should be buying this since I've already played a "better graphics" remake.
Menus and inventory are all mouse driven and it works really we'll actually.
Q is also 180 degree turn.

Minor nitpick but how hard would it have been to make the menus and map fill up the entire screen when playing widescreen instead of remaining 4:3?

I guess I am just going to have to stop being rubbish.
I used them for like 10 seconds before I plugged in my controller, but here's a screenshot.
They'd have to resize and stretch EVERYTHING for those. Too much work.

Especially when you consider just how real they could make them look nowadays, i mean look at how good remake looked back when it came out, now imagine this style of game with access to todays memory/GPU/CPU power.
I'd love a proper full on new RE with this style of gameplay built from the ground up to make use off all available hardware, it could look pretty dam great i recon.

It's pretty simple though. Find a crate and store everything you don't know what do do with and then later get it when you think you need it.

Awesome thanks!
Ill probably make the set up look a bit more like WASD IJKL or something, using the mouse for only two actions seems weird.

I'd certainly take a new one, though with the current state of Capcom I'm not sure how much faith I'd have in its quality. Can't stop thinking about how a RE2 remake would be like now...*drools*

It's a disgrace that it's running at 30fps, but due to the nature of the game it has pretty much no impact on the gameplay itself.
Aside from the weird PS3 style loading bars constantly when starting up/exiting the game, it's a very competent and nice looking port.
But I can see how some people are disappointed with things like medium shadow settings. There's no reason this shouldn't be able to run maxed out on current gen systems.

Just twenty or so minutes of the PC version. First boss fight as Jill
, finishing the mask puzzle and getting to the cabin in the woods. Should be 60 fps 1080p. The first few areas (the darker upstairs corridor and the areas near where you meet Richard) are some of the worst looking so far. The last few areas out in the woods look fantastic.

Man, this game is so damn good. So many memories came rushing back as soon I started playing.
Thoroughly enjoying it.
