I always wondered why a Special Forces / Tactics team doesn't use radios.

They do. There are a couple times when the radio is used. You don't start with a radio though which is weird. Maybe you drop it in the rush to safety.

so whats the best way to go about getting the under 2 hour run?
because there is no pausing is it best just to keep a checklist on a tablet or something?

They always make sure to bring the one busted radio though.

Im surprised how poor some of the textures are at times for the actual modeled elements. The room where you get the fake key has some really grungy textures on those armored knights.
The character models for Chris aren't quite as good looking as I remember either. They look like pretty typical PS2 era character models.

RE-on-PS1 purist here playing this for the first time. It's quite a shock dealing with all of the changes. Pretty sure I'm going to have to start over soon.

Going back to the PS1 RE after playing REmake was hard for me. Not because of the graphics, but because the layout of the mansion just felt wrong. It's weird because I've played the original to death.

Definitely GC version is more blurry if you are playing on HD TV.
However, I have started noticing that some locations in the HD version have really crappy textures...basically they can look like low res textures with some sharpening filter applied and it is very noticeable. Though there are also many areas that look great...

Doing my hard mode with Jill and man... second time seeing it and it still surprises me the Aqua Ring area did not get remade. I mean a freaking
how did it not get picked to be redone, I figured it would be at the top of the list. It's only a few rooms big but still it would have looked amazing.
shark tank in a mansion!?
What implied that there was only a single pack of dogs? You think they're going to run 8 miles through mountains and forests to get back to town? The problem is that they're all split up, they don't HAVE ammo, and they have no way of getting in touch with their pilot. They wouldn't leave anyway since their whole purpose is to rescue Bravo - besides the fact that Wesker doesn't WANT them to leave and probably sabotaged their radios and got them separated in the first place.
This is some 'why didn't they have the eagles drop the ring into mt doom' logic at work.
Nope. Time to run like hell.
That's hilarious, I never knew it punished you for doing that.
Love this so much.
I'm so glad I finally get to replay this. I've beaten it twice now and I'm itching for a third.
By the way... WHAT THE HELL IS THAT BOARD USED FOR?! It's not required for anything! It's the board on the table in the 2nd floor U-shaped hallway, right next to the door that leads to the hallway that'll put you in the ballroom with the walls that close in (basement access hole).
I was assuming since it has a piece of paper in it, with nothing on it, you can use the lighter to make a map with it... but forgot to try it. It's never used anywhere.

That has bugged me for 13 years.
I'd Google it, but I was convinced I'd figure it out by myself... never did. After this last playthrough I said "screw it!" and decided to ask.
I never knew either. Even looking at a guide I still ran through the room multiple times.
Its doing pretty well on steam.

compared to RE4 remake, in terms of all time peak.

Yeah lol, if you consider everything they go through in the mansion, fighting a bunch of dogs is a walk in the park in comparison.

If they are so keen on making remasters this generation, then RE2 should be the way to go.

Nah. RE2 needs the remade treatment, not remaster. That would be amazing.

I die a lot, but I don't care.
I love being soaked in the atmosphere. I came across four zombies when I got the sword key and just got overrun.

20 isn't that low.
And even at 10 I wouldn't have bought it.

Just sat down with it for the first time, played up until
. Surprised I still remember everything pretty well. You can definitely see the upscaling a lot more in some areas than others. Certain parts of the aqua ring especially so, but they've done a pretty good job all around.

Avoiding hunters is a lot easier than zombies. Just run through them.
Sometimes you might get scratched but at most times they miss or even don't do anything at all.
As long as you're running their leaping attack always misses (unless you're running into a wall
).I only ever kill the hunters just outside the saveroom when you return to the mansion. They tend to lock you down on the stairs together.

The PC version runs much better if you have the hardware. The PS4 version runs fine, but it's capped at 30fps with some drops (mostly during screen transitions, which happened in the original game as well). Either is perfectly serviceable. I'd get both at that price, but I'm not smart with money. The potential for modding is also worth considering for the PC game, there's already quite a few skins and a door-skipping mod.
So are the fast dudes with claws the "crimson heads" I've been hearing so much about? They just started appearing, but they had no real introduction or setup in the game.
Edit: Also, is there no shark tank sequence in the game? I distinctly remember this area from the GCN version.

They have a setup. You find a file describing them (and how to prevent their appearing) early in the game. This is RE1 way of introducing enemies. Many bosses and enemies are introduced either through files or by you seeing their victims long before you even meet them. I find that very effective; when I was playing the original RE1 I was dreading meeting Yawn (seeing that huge bite on Richard's chest) or Plant-42 (those files describing how huge it is, and how intelligent it became).

"Ada" as a password was in the original game so it's RE2 that referenced RE1 (Annette: "Ada Wong? I’ve heard that name before. Now I remember. One of the men from Chicago came to assist the T-Virus research. He used his girlfriend’s name as his password, Ada and John i believe."), not the other way
The file mentioning Birkin is new.

Wow, this game is hard as fuck, one of the hardest survival horror I have played actually
But if it's still possible I will continue, the challenge is refreshing and a lot more unusual than what I thought.
Let's say that for the hardest difficulty of any of the first 2 Dead Space you need 10 bullets to kill all the enemies (or at least to make progress safely), then the game gives you 14 bullets. With that game, in normal mode, I have the felling that it gives you 4 bullets for the needed 10.
And I love it. Harder than any SH (whithout counting the first one, I haven't played it yet), Condemned, any Dead Space, Obscure, Amnesia, Penumbra, any Fatal Frame,.... actually harder than any survival horror I have played... fantastic hahaha
I'm on the chamber with the serum for the dying guy that's with Rebecca. I have no bullets, with a few crimson heads roaming the mansion and just when I started to learn how to make headshots, ¿it's advisable to restart the game?

the game becomes a lot easier once you learn layouts, item placements and ways to approach enemies, yeah it will be tough for a new player but you will soon be breezing through.
The pistol should only be used if it's last resort, killing a zombie with the pistol without the luck of blowing their head off just means that zombie will come back stronger later on.

Good god, why is the download speed on PS4 so bad? I got this last night and have been going through a series of putting the system in rest mode, resetting my modem, screwing around with the DHP settings, etc. It's not my connection which is otherwise typically good, and other games seem to download a lot faster.

There's enough oil to burn the zombies you kill in the main areas so maybe restart and focus on not letting more Crimson heads than necessary appear.
