the main thing that sticks out to me playing this now is the sound design

like man, every single gun shot sounds so powerful

the footsteps, the switch between ambient noises and pure silence
it's sublime

 

[Baloonatic]

Started playing earlier. The only gameplay change I wanted was a way to reload outside of the inventory and they actually added it. So happy. Game is pretty much perfect now.

 

[KalBalboa]

Love playing this at night with my gold headset on. Reminds me of the good ol' days of playing Resident Evil 2 until 2 AM.

Baloon- how do you do the manual reload? I'm using scheme B.

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Wow, this game is beating my sorry ass like no other. Last year I replayed both RE2 and RE3 and it was a breeze. But REmake... I already died twice, and I'm not even that far from the beginning (still only have the sword key). I'm trying to avoid killing zombies as much as I can and I'm doing fine with that - right now I have only one zombie killed. But dogs are another story - they are fast and relentless, much more than they were in previous games. Two bites from a dog and a single bite from a zombie and my Jill was dead.

It doesn't help that I screwed up and after entering the "dog corridor" for some reason I returned to the main hall. To my horror - Barry was there and gave me acid rounds, which means no Jill sandwich and no free shotgun for me.

I replayed the original RE1 a lot of times so I know the original mansion and its puzzles like the back of my head. But yesterday I was literally stumped - I had no idea where to go. If you've played RE1 then REmake is constantly screwing with you by changing the flow of the game, moving key items around and replacing puzzles.

On the other hand, it's nice to finally have a RE game where I feel lost again; just like old times.

 

[Anthony Soprano]

Wowwwww.

I knew keyboard/mouse controls would get to me eventually. In the room where

the classic game usually has the second Yawn battle and you move the statue to stop the walls from closing in,

I pressed the switch and began running back. Suddenly, the camera angle changes and as I press another direction to weave into the tight doorway, Jill changes direction and begins running back TOWARD the danger.

I died.

Reaching that first save room underneath the stairs.

The ambient music kicks in.

Man, that's the sound of my fucking childhood.

Awesome, thanks.

 

[Chance Hale]

Any SGSSAA bits?

 

[bananafactory]

That aqua ring music.

Hnngghhhh

 

[Lunareste]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm glad that Jill still has dat ass.

Need to find out how to unlock the RE3 dress...

 

[bananafactory]

Dude Chris on hard mode is no fucking joke.

I'm sitting there with danger health from getting bit twice with zombies up the ass and 8 bullets and one green herb and limited inventory slots.

I finished Jill on Mountain Hike difficulty without ever dying, and finishing the game with enough ammo and herbs to win world war III. So I didn't think Chris on hard with be -that- hard.

Fuck this game.

I watched a bit of your stream man that shit is insane haha how far did you make it?

 

[LegendX48]

Noticed on Steam that the game got patched. Anyone know what they fixed/added?

 

[Frodo]

Got this yesterday, what is the consensus on the control method? Which one is better? Haven't played RE in over 10 years now, btw.

Both are functional but the new one kind of breaks the game since it was designed around the tank controls, it makes it much easier. To get the ideal experience you should play with classic controls, but if you really find them too frustrating then just use the new ones, despite the fact that RE GAF will judge you. But who cares just pick what feels best for your own style

Yes

Thank you!

Yeah I'm playing Chris on Real Survivor right now and it's pretty damn tough (love the no auto aim however). Making good progress, though!
Can't believe this game has its claws in me once again after so many years.

I ended up using both a bit yesterday, as the tank controls stay on the d-pad. So when I wanted a more precise and slower movement I used the d-pad. I like the new 3D controls, but they fuck up a little when the game switches screens, making you run in and out of a room a few times if you don't change the direction of the analogue stick quickly.

Yeah it seems worse in some areas than others, guess it depends on where the cameras are. But i frequently got turned around using them where that almost never happens with the classic ones

 

[Lothar]

It feels weird to pick the worse controls (worse just meaning it's harder to control) but as soon as you change to tank mode, the game instantly becomes 5x scarier.

Can someone second this? Might push me over the edge.

Yup. Everything said there is correct, you can hear the terror itself.

Oh and the best headshot sound in a game ever. The visceral crack and splat of exploding bone and tissue has never been so satisfying.

 

[Dahbomb]

Can someone second this? Might push me over the edge.

I second this. The sound design in this game is simply immaculate.

 

[gconsole]

What I dont understand is with that amount of RAM. Why this game still require loading in every single room. I understand if the old engine was design this way. But they could put a bit more afford to take advantage of better hardware. Going back and forth through the whole mansion really kill my experience. And i have played this game like million times already on both GC abe dolphin. Maybe newer game spoil me too much.

For those who are curious about modding for REmaster on PC, it's only been a couple days so most won't pop up until later, but a few small things are already out.

Fluffy's 5000 Manager (allows you to enable door skipping animations, infinite ammo, inventory slot selector, costume selector):

Tank is the way to go, then. I'll see how I adapt. Thanks.

 

[gelf]

My favourite thing about the sound design in classic RE games is that you can instantly tell what creature is in the room with you even if the camera angle doesn't let you see it. Hearing that click click walk of the Hunters and not knowing where it yet can be harrowing if your low on health and need to get back to a save room..

 

[Melchiah]

wish they had implemented the color coding for locked doors on the map like in RE2

That would be welcomed, as it's hard to remember which doors opened with which key.

Ok. You can double check by looking at the ps4s display area setting.

Will do, but I don't think anything is wrong there either.

Its what I always wanted.

I'm no modding expert. Does anyone know if modding the music files would be possible? I'd love an original soundtrack mod. I'd be tempted to make it myself if I knew where to start. I don't own the PC version yet so I can't check the files to see if that's easy or difficult to do.

 

[synce]

Any mods yet? And what would be a good site to check for any?

Edit: Nevermind I'm so silly I didn't even see the post above mine

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

I'd pay 10$ for a true Barry campaign mode as official DLC.

 

[giancarlo123x]

I'd pay 10$ for a true Barry campaign mode as official DLC.

If it had its own cutscenes, rearranged puzzles, etc then easily worth that or a bit more.

 

[Markitron]

Are there any Shareplay restrictions on this? If I get someone to kill the Spiders for me, will it lock me out of trophies?

 

[TGO]

holy shit is that game even possible without a guide ?
i should have started on easy difficulty...

Completed the original with both characters on a rental with no memory card, it can be done.
But this has shown me how little time I have to myself, two days and still in the mansion
I only get time to move from a to b before having to go to bed for work ffs.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I'd pay 10$ for a true Barry campaign mode as official DLC.

Thats REremake.
All of REmake with additional Barry and Rebecca campaigns, complete all four for the secret Wesker campaign.

"Buy REremake today and finally experience the canon ending!"

 

[Jawmuncher]

Easiest way to test would be to check with the Die or kill zombie trophy.
Though i'm sure you already got those.

Well, lets at least hope that Revelations 2 is decent. At least they listened when it came to choosing the characters and gave Barry and Claire a much deserved return.

The bee room gets you the Wind Crest which you'll want for a particular item (won't spoil what, or when you'll get it). In the bee room, you need to search for 3 items. 2 of them can be combined, which will trigger an event which unlocks the Crest you need.

Spoiler

By water tank room, I take it you mean with the plant tentacles and the water pump? There you'll need the chemical, which can be found in one of the outside areas, through a silver door just beyond the dog corridor.

EDIT: On second thoughts, I think you might mean one room with both those things in, in which case I have no idea. You could potentially ignore all of the above just then!

Personally, I always like to think that Chris's scenario is canon and Barry just made his way back to Raccoon City on foot, through the forest with just his magnum and fists. It's the most fitting explanation and it all works with what's in the game.

That's my main problem with the 3D controls, although I like them otherwise. At times when the viewpoint changes I end up going in circles, and I imagine that might lead to an untimely death when I'm trying to escape from something chasing me. It happened in Heavy Rain's Taxidermist DLC as well.

Ah yes, I forgot there is a water tank in that room too, albeit an incidental backdrop and not anything you need to use or pay attention to.

Spoiler

1. Combine the hook and the gold Bee Lure.
2. Use the combined Hook and Lure on the display cabinet just to the right of the door (from the doors perspective).
3. Place the remaining brown bee sample on the display cabinet to the left of the door, on the wall.
4. Push the button
5. You'll get the item you need. Don't bother trying to fight the enemy that attacks you at this point, just run out the door.
