[tesqui]

Don't know what to do. I've opened all doors with the sword key, and in my item chest I have an imitation key, blue gem, wooden mount, and chemical to use on plants. What do I do next? No idea where to use these items..

I would focus on trying to use that imitation key somewhere.

 

[bananafactory]

Any mods to unlock costumes yet? Having to beat the game twice to unlock RE3 Jill is lame.
I totally forgot about the BSAA costumes. Is there no way to change while in the game? Only at the start on the character select screen?
I hope someone makes a mod that allows custom change at will.

I think it's only new game which sucks.

Debating starting my save file all over just because I want a diff costume....

 

[Santar]

Just played for a few mins, I think it looks really good so far.
But it's something about it, it just feels wrong to play on anything other than the Gamecube.
I actually get this feeling when playing a lot of the HD remasters. They games just loose something.
Take say Kingdom Hearts, which was a beautiful PS2 game, it really showed what that console could do. On the PS3 it's just another game, a rerelease of a game they hardly bothered to improve.

 

[Marty-esque]

This game is amazing! I'm using original control scheme type c(I think)

 

[Nameless]

As someone who beat the original multiple times, and completed a sizeable chunk of the GC version, I feel no obligation to retrain myself to suffer through the half broken, busted ass OG controls -- that badge of honor has been won & worn. In fact trying them out last night made me want to yack all over my DS4. The updated control scheme is better in every conceivable way, making what's still a beautifully atmospheric feast for the senses more palatable than ever before.

Props to the masochists out there who can suspend disbelief and play through REmake like they live in a world where rudimentary 3D controls haven't been mastered yet; you're more hardcore than me.

Yep I forgot about the third floor. Progressing!

[Kssio_Aug]

Not very.

If you have never played the game before, don't bother. You're going to be WAY over the 5 hour time limit (and 3 hour limit for the Rocket Launcher) to even bother with it. Just enjoy the first playthrough. Don't speed it.

I have played and finished RE1 and REmake like 100 times(haven't played REmake in about 10 years though.),
I finished in around 7-8 hours with Chris on Normal.

Also pretty sure pauses count in time.

I'd say play normal once then try to speed for weapons.

Allright! So I'm not gonna try it in my 1st playthrough. Thanks for the advice!

 

[Xpliskin]

Playing on hard and I have way too much resources. Barely got hit I think.

I can't imagine very easy

 

[LifeLike]

Hi remake gaf !!
Excited to replay this old title.

In the controller setup option, what is the original type?

Whats the difference between Controls alternate vs original?

Should I play in 4:3 or 16:9 ?

Thanks !!

Yeah I plan to play through this game using the alternative controls. I already beat the OG GC version using Control Type C so I feel no need to retread the tank controls just for the sake of "purity."

It's been a while since i played the original RE but type "B" seemed closest to me (R2/R1 to aim, x to shoot)

Alternate controls = modern controls, your character moves in the direction you hit the stick

Classic controls = tank-style. You have to turn your character to the direction you want and then move forward/backward. You can not move forward/back and turn at the same time.

4:3 is the true experience, 16:9 loses parts of the frame at the top/bottom. If you want the original experience then pick 4:3, if you prefer it to fill your screen then go widescreen

 

[SargerusBR]

Is it just me or Chris RE5 model looks much better than REmake?

 

[Jharp]

Sorry if it's been asked, but is there a way to use the alternate controls and not have to auto-run? I prefer the alternate method (even though, in preparation for this game, I've played Resident Evils 1-Code: Veronica over the last couple months, using the OG controls), but I also don't want to be jogging around a cramped mansion.

Is it even possible?

 

[Gaz_RB]

As soon as night falls I am all over this. So excited.

 

[strafer]

I prefer RE5 Chris. Will be playing as him when I get to Chris.

I play as RE5 Jill atm.

 

[synce]

Haha they put roid rage Chris in this game? That's interesting. I didn't even notice the costumes options until I had to restart the game.

Speaking of which what's with the poor optimization? I had no problems getting solid 60 with modern fully 3D games like TR and DmC, but I can't run a Gamecube port?

Comedy gold.

For me it's the opposite, I've been playing re games so much I'm too used to the S&M controls.

Neptune is so beautiful, I wish he was my pet. Look at that cute face

 

[bananafactory]

How do you play as RE5 Chris?

Don't do this.

Spoiler

Although yes, we are.

 

[tesqui]

Would it have been that hard to reuse the assets from Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles which had a good chunk of the mansion redone in 3D?

No, it isn't a glitch. Man, modern games have done a number on people. It is nice to see RE trolling people after all these years.

Holy shit it is.

Not supposed to go back.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

S.T.A.R.S. costume is the best but Chris' 5 model is infinitely better.
REmake Chris isn't bad but a bit generic and the hair looked bad even back in the day.

Redundant but wish they threw in

as well.

Waiting to the weekend to buy this save $2 seems silly, right?

No it's not. Look closely and you'll notice something happens after

taking the shotgun.

 

[Neff]

Holy shit it is.

Not supposed to go back.

If you've 'lost' Barry by that point, you basically have to though, right?

I'm not sure since I always play for Team Barry, but I seem to remember having to get the shotgun the proper way with Jill in the original once.

 

[Sadist]

OG Chris is still pretty cool.

OG Jill is the best :3

why were you trying to kill the ceiling with bullets?

 

[bananafactory]

Dude, it's been answered many times. It's on the top of this very page.

I knew how to switch costumes, just thought there was something else required to unlock that particular one.

So they are all unlocked from the get-go then?

If you think that's the reason we are playing the OG controls then LOL, the fucking game was built around the OG controls. The new control scheme just straight breaks up the game by making you move over everything at the speed of light while you keep adjusting your direction after every camera angle change.

Ah wait.

Yea Jill can pick-up the

broken shotgun

.

You could go back to place it.

This would be an implicit death then.

But by losing Barry you mean

Spoiler

get killed by lisa

?

I spoke too quickly, the shotgun can be picked up at any point during the game.

Shows how deep these games are.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

No it's not. Look closely and you'll notice something happens after

Yeah but only Chris needs to pay attention to that, couldn't Jill just open the door with her skills?

There's nothing broken about them at all.

You're not supposed to be able to re-enter the

It's a glitch afaik.

 

[Somnium986]

I did it! Got the rocket launcher with a time of 2:57. Messed up the first time and got 3:03, but that was because I forgot to pick up a key off a certain baddie. Thank god I had a previous save file at the beginning of the Lab.

Don't know if I want to got through the other modes though. Invisible enemy mode wasn't too bad, but does the game require you to be real survival mode for platinum?

 

[ubersticky]

Holy shit it is.

Not supposed to go back.

I've had two people say that so that's why I'm even asking if it's a glitch or if I'm simply just missing something.

why were you trying to kill the ceiling with bullets?

Cause nonesense. That was my 3rd try and I was messing about cause I told my friend I would upload to show him that I could go back into the shotgun room.

It is not much different than rebuild the whole thing. Texture only require work from scratch.

 

[loganclaws]

No, Jill can die at this wall depending on certain circumstances and encounters with Barry. She doesn't always get a free pass here. Not a glitch.

If certain circumstances are met, Barry won't save Jill, she has to use the broken shotgun like Chris.

 

[Dragon1893]

Wait, so the highest difficulty available is normal? I thought the first option was hard.
Can you change the difficulty when starting NG+? I don't remember.
