This talk about RE5 is making me want to play it(to the end this time), but I'm still waiting for the Steamworks patch to see about this DLC business. Who knows, it might happen. From what I played of it, the game was very enjoyable and I loved the co-op(even with randoms). Both action Resi and horror Resi have their place, though I prefer the latter having grown up with them at their peak.

After beating RE5 many, many, many times, I decided to go online and co-op with some random person. I think it was this guy's first time playing RE5 because he didn't realize that for the cutscenes when it said R1 + L1 that you had to press both those buttons together. We died over 10 times in a cutscene because he kept pressing one or the other. It was hilarious.

I really want to play 5 on PC but the missing DLC plus GFWL really stops me in my tracks.

Absolutely idiotic realization. I've been saying how I felt the game didn't really give you much direction.
It just dawned on me that, on the map, red rooms means you haven't gotten all of the items from it, and green rooms mean you have. Wow.
This makes me want to start over.

Well, they are in the works of patching it out and into Steamworks.
Then they might add DLC for PC version, at least I hope so.

Yea I'm certainly hoping so too. Can't go back to the X360 version after playing on PC so long.

Well, just picked up a PS4 today and bought the game again (I bought it on Xbox One when it came out but I got rid of the console). I've did my part. Now give me Resident Evil 2 HD Remaster, Resident Evil 3 HD Remaster, and Resident Evil 4 as originally intended thanks.
Just finished my first (re) run through the game.
Phenomenal experience as always. Just seeks to reaffirm why this is one of my favourite games of all time every time I play it.
I've never speed run it though, which I want to do now. I was going to do it with Jill on Very Easy. Good plan? Very Easy should be a pretty safe ride and I figure Jill having more inventory slots will be handy to reduce backtracking. Her route through the game is also the most fresh to me.
Also, do unlocked items work across characters and play throughs? So if I unlock a weapon as Jill, will Chris also have access to it? And can you use them in Survivor mode?

I'm debating picking up a six-pack of beer on my way home and spending the evening grappling with this game. I've got a pretty full day of drinking tomorrow though, so not sure if this is the best idea haha...

Oh, I know. That's when my realization struck.
I remember hearing about this but never doing it myself. Super neat. But boy, it makes me realize how horribly most PS1 graphics have aged. The GCN one is still pretty good to look at, but Jesus at the fug of that PS1 version. Goddamn.
But I downloaded this yesterday. It's good fun to go through and rediscover everything. Kind of amazed how much stuff I've forgotten. It's like I couldn't recall a lot of stuff, though it eventually clicks and I'm like, "Oh yeah." Interesting feeling, feels almost fresh again.
I think you mean remake, not remaster as far as 2 and 3 are concerned.

I think you need to play on Normal to unlock weapons. It's not bad though, I barely got hit (I posted near ttop with how I went about it). And yes, both Chris and Jill get the unlocks, not sure about True Survivor mode though (I'd guess no?). edit: nope, you don't get em on survivor mode.
And will probably get even better when capcom moves it to Steamworks.

Yup! Not sure if they're identical but I def went "those look a lot like gamecubes!"

That feel when you do a sub 3 hour speed run on Very Easy Invisible Enemy but don't unlock any weapons because you were supposed to do it on Normal.
Sigh. Well at least Invisible Enemy is out of the way.

It looks similar but they removed the buttons.
This so much.Someone should make it please.
I'd love somewhere to talk about my love for RE Outbreak on PS2
I'd love to see another RR game like outbreak. The game itself wasn't hard but the atmosphere and characters were very interesting

Nothing stops the timer NOTHING.
aside from maybe suspending the game on Xbox One during a door animation apparently.

This guy has been doing various types of PC speedruns. Pretty neat

It's just first generation era 1996 playstation I believe. Resident Evil 3 still looks very good. FF9 and Chrono Cross of course look amazing. It's hard to believe they could share the same system as Resident Evil 1.
Alright, thanks. In that case I guess it would be cheating to use the no doors mod in a speedrun : /

I was 12 when i first saw resident evil running on a playstation demo kiosk. It blew my mind.
I think I enjoy the charm of the PS1 version for that reason. I can't really understand how someone who never saw the PS1 version at the time sees it.

I played the original on the PSOne, but never got through REmake on the 'Cube or Wii... I always started it and lost my nerve, usually when I ended up with a Crimson Head running around a room of the mansion. Tonight I started my play-through on the PS4 using Jill. Decided to give it a whirl via Remote Play (on my Vita). Loving it! It looks sweet on 'dat OLED.
I found myself lost as far as my next move a few times, but got back on track. Sadly the "dog room" has both demon dogs running about whenever I end up having to go through there again. I was on a mission to get back to two zombies I killed so I could burn 'em before they turned; didn't have time for dog taming so I can for it.
...but now I know I'm gonna regret not putting them down when I had a chance.

I know there's zero chance of capcom of today investing the resources into it but finally getting an RE2 REmake would be so incredible. I would gladly pay $60 for it on a disc.
Maybe if Revelations 2 does well?

Honestly the biggest factor I would think for it to be THIS style would be sales of this and Zero. However I think at some point a remake of 2 and 3 has to happen in some form.
Since they're the only 2 entries preventing a mainline collection at this point for all systems.

Revelations 2 doing well will result in Revelations 3 or RE6-2.

Was this the case in the Gamecube version? If so then I've missed this for a long, long time. My only excuse is that I didn't need to look at the map as I'd played so much of the PSone version.
Still, I can't believe I missed this. I own the Wii version too.....
Yea, we need Resident Evil Remake to do well not Revelations 2. Though I hope both games end up selling well.

well both then - RE HD and Revelations.
It would honestly be a pretty huge budget undertaking for them and I just don't see modern capcom doing that without some significant kick in the ass.
The real question is - do you do it in the RE4/Revelations style or the PSX RE2 style?
I think even if they do one it'll be in third person camera style with aiming over the shoulder.
I don't see how you convince the budget people that you should spend so much money developing high resolution 3D assets just to put them into an old style 2D backgrounds game. Especially with RE4, 5, and Revelations 1 pointing to that being the current popular style.

If they're going to butcher them with an over the shoulder camera they shouldn't even bother, it'd be a completely different game.

When i was a kid, i always wondered, why can't they just bust the doors down instead of hunting for keys? Barry busted a door down?

I always wondered, why not just gather up some ammo, have rebecca draw the dogs to the front yard, and shoot them from the 2nd floor to clear them out, then run back to town for help.
The idea that a pack of zombie dogs was keeping them inside this mansion always felt weak to me.
Anyway, horror movie/game logic

Same. I'm another that enjoys every era of resident evil (survival horror -> survival action -> balls out crazy) and I'm totally ready for another RE5 playthrough. I hope Capcom delivers on the Steamworks version with the console DLC finally.
You can convince them if RE1 HD sells a couple million which is not happening.
I mean look at this thread on GAF.It has only 3.5K replies consisting mainly of repeated posters which is pretty low by GAF-hype standards.
It implies not a lot of people bought this remaster despite the love this game commonly(deservedly) gets and despite the asking price being relatively low at $20.
