Disappointed sis. Playing on XBone.

Where's that much enhanced AA guide/post? I don't want FXAA anymore.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I am honestly surprised RE2 has not been remade. Back when REmake was released it seemed like it would naturally be the next thing for Capcom to do. I guess it's unfair to feel entitled to another remake just because we got a remake of RE1, but still... I hope it happens someday.

 

[WITHE1982]

Is there a trick to escape from zombies in closed corridors? I always have to kill them, otherwise they get me. But I just saw one of these videos above, and the guy runs past 2 of them!

It seems as though the lunge animation results in a brief moment when the zom can safely be past as he's between motions. I'm going to try it tonight with the 1st zombie (just off the dining room) until I get it right.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Well if you physically see how he does it, then why can't you just copy what he does?

Truth be told, there are some situations were you simply won't be able to avoid them. I try to get as close as possible, and as they lunge, walk back. During the animation I'll try to scoot past them. Sometimes it's just unavoidable.

If you approach a zombie while on some stairs, the zombie will puke on you. It's pretty easy to avoid though.

Its because the guy only ran through them! That doesnt use to work for me. But I guess he already knows where the zombies are located at the very corner, so he does that.

Ill try that too!

Downloaded this on Steam last night before I went to bed. Looking forward to diving into it tonight. Hoping my new rig can run it on ultra with AA at 60fps. In any event, it will be great to return to this classic in style!

 

[itzknickknac]

Is the "I like Mountains" difficulty supposed to be the same as "Medium"? bc, lol! I died after two bites.

Running it at max settings with FXAA3HQ on my old 2500K + GTX570 + 8GB Ram with zero issues. This game doesn't really require any horsepower. Enjoy!

Very well said. I like that.

Congrats! Btw, the XB1 version is great!

Yeah that's normal mode.

 

[Badlucktroll]

RE3 is next?

"To be honest, I would love to remake Biohazard 3 with today's technology and skills," he continued. "However Capcom would never try that, and I am not that much of a valuable member to Capcom. The Biohazard series is created by Capcom's most elite members. It's hard to imagine myself fitting in with such a prestigious team. Even if I were to successfully work on a Biohazard 3 remake, there's already Operation Racoon City and The Umbrella Chronicles. I doubt I have any chance."

Japanese gonna Japanese. lol.

 

[Melchiah]

The same thing happened to me, and I toned down the difficulty a notch, eventhough it kinda bothers me to play on easy. =/ Surprisingly those two zombies in the graveyard disappeared on easy.

I was also surprised, that the dogs can kill you in a single bite, if you don't have a defensive item. IIRC, that was different in the original.

 

[F3112006]

What on earth is the button to shrug zombies off faster?

They still had Mikami around in 2002 to do the REmake. I suppose by time Kamiya went to Clover, RE4 came out, and the REmake had sold as poorly as it did, it didn't really make any sense.

Do I trust anyone to do a REmake style upgrade of RE2 without Kamiya? Eh, probably not.

Wiggle the stick and mash the buttons like Street Fighter.

I see, yeah.. I'm gona have to play it on Easy.. . at least I won't die as quick

 

[Curufinwe]

How long did it take you?

 

[strafer]

so much backtracking

 

[malfcn]

._.

Whoa.

 

[Cob32]

So I'm gonna go for the no save, less than 3 hour trophy in one run.

Can I

Spoiler

use samurai edge and put the game on very easy?

 

[Anung]

First Jill run got a time of 7:02 so not great but I am rusty. That was with saving everyone. That was without any deaths as well

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Anybody crafted all the badge levels on Steam yet? What are they, just the various

Spoiler

elemental crests

? I only got the first level.

 

[How About No]

I was recording my first playthrough of Remaster, and just editing now and decided to make a quick gif of a moment I experienced early in. I don't even know how this happened.

My fucking bullet not only knocked the zombie in front of me down at the last moment, it then shoots straight through to the zombie behind it and makes its head explode.

Oh haha I thought that was a double decap at first

 

[popsicle_sundays]

Now imagine being a kid and this coming out in 2002.

Spoiler

Futtbuck - "I know I'll get fucked with no lube for this" lmao

I wanted to buy a GameCube just for this game, but alas I was just a child and only had a PS2

 

[Melchiah]

I'm not sure if it affects how easily you die as much as the amount of enemies, and the amount of bullets they can take.

 

[bananafactory]

I tested out Easy, you can take about 3 zombie attacks before dying. Not sure about the dogs.

I'm playing on Normal and it takes three attacks as well.

 

[Audioboxer]

I seemed to trigger a scene with Barry in the main hall early on and now he won't save me for the shotgun Anyway to fix that?

Last one is the wolf crest.

Just use the broken shotgun man.

Any word about a mod that allows us to switch costumes?

Couldn't remember if that existed in Jills playthrough! Thought it was Chris only. Thanks.

 

[Lothar]

Is there anyone in this thread playing the game right now in America? You shouldn't be. Everyone knows that you play a survival horror game only at night with the lights off, right?

I draped a massive fucking comforter over my bedroom window and I'm playing with headphones.

I own every console too.

Now that you mentioned it, i never knew that either. I just randomly mash buttons.

 

[Lothar]

Does that really work enough? I've tried shutting out all the sunlight from my windows before. It still never feels the same. Just knowing you can walk outside at any point and it'll be bright and sunny makes a difference I find. I always have to stop playing and wait. It'd be like going to a haunted house in day time. Even if the house is completely dark inside, it wouldn't be the same.

Yet the 'next gen consoles' can only manager 30fps with dips!!!

On another not, is there a quick knife attack button at all?

 

[Manu]

I'm sure they can manage 60 just fine, Capcom just didn't want to put in the time to do it.

And the "framerate dips" shit is getting tiring, I've played for about six hours now and I'm yet to see a performance drop.

 

[Melchiah]

I tested out Easy, you can take about 3 zombie attacks before dying. Not sure about the dogs.

I think it varies with the dogs. Sometimes they just bite the arm, but if they jump on you and you don't have a defensive item it's goodbye.

 

[walkmetothelake]

Anybody using RE.net? I'm looking to add some people on there to get web badges/more points but the steam/PSN friend finder seems to be broken? Here's mine if anyone wants to add me.

Going to start my second playthrough in a bit. Not sure if I'll go through with Jill again or switch over to Chris.

 

[Grief.exe]

I'm not afraid to admit to playing in the daylight.

 

[Anung]

I was digging around through my stuff and found this.

This'll come in handy on the later runs.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Playing in the daylight or in the evening doesn't really make a difference to me. I don't feel like the game is "scarier" at night, because to me it doesn't matter what my surroundings look like, only what the game environments look like.

 

[bananafactory]

Is anyone else playing on very easy?

I don't want to be the only one.....but I feel like I am.

I'm a wimp

You're not the only one don't worry haha. I'm 26 years old and this game still scares the shit out of me.

 

[Korten]

How long is the game? I saw on HLTB that it's only like 6 and a half hours.
