He must have died during the final fight which can happen. Or you have to check up on him if he was unconscious. It's one of the two.
Use the jvolt and save yourself some ammo and health items.

I pretty much ditch the lighter + kerosene for the rest of the game after I first leave the mansion.
To an extent, yeah. But you still have a solid grasp of the game after playing with Jill, and Chris can take more hits which makes the actual difficulty jump not as bad. The hardest part is just adjusting to his small inventory and dealing with some more keys.

I know this as old as the internet itself almost, but I still laugh my ass off at this silly audio clip lol
My friend brought it to my attention while I was playing this on steam lol

My first playthrough was 14 hours. Second was 8. About to start my third. Trying to get around the 5 hour mark. All Jill on normal.

Still having trouble figuring out how to get the elevator in the mansion part of the map to be not red. Trying to get 100% completion on this run. I'll buy someone a Jill sandwich if they can help.
this is such a wonderful thing

Do you have to ride the elevator?

Elevators are always in a perpetual state of red as they aren't really rooms.

Ah! So I can just ignore it then and not worry about it affecting anything? Fantastic! About that Jill sandwich... I can't actually make any promises.

Started playing the game and here are my impressions so far:
1. Yes, jill's jello chest is silly and distracting. Maybe made worse by sped up animations?
2. The 16:9 resolution works surprisingly well. The game is just as stunning as ever.
3. Except for when some in game models (statues, etc) are still using textures that would be relatively low res for even the ps2 era.
4. Yeah, the dogs do seem different. Maybe just sped up, making them difficult to hit and do damage at a faster rate?

This is my... "first time"... hearing this. Funny stuff.
So, I still haven't done a full run through as Chris on normal.
Does suicide bomber Forrest still appear in NG+ in this version? I thought this unlocked after the first completion, but it's been a while, and maybe it was after completing it with both on Normal or higher.

Someone mentioned recently, and I regret that I forget who but it was in that Grim Fandango trophies thread (as that game can be played with "tank controls"), that the tank controls are actually superior than any other control method in Resident Evil and I completely agree. I spent the first 2/3 of the game playing with the new alternate method (free directional control). I recently switched over to Type-C, and I find it vastly superior. Sure, I've had that experience of playing these games with their original controls, but the way that the game's forward momentum in addition to the fixed angles are set up, I think that the free directional controls are too wonky and I constantly found myself having to readjust the forward direction upon each angle switch, and there are a lot.
While this is just an opinion, I think it's insane and even a little beautiful at how the originally-intended control method that so many people hate and can't seem to grasp are, at least for me, the absolute best way to play this game.

i tried the new controls for like a minute and couldn't do it. having to constantly reorient yourself to the angles is terrible IMO. tank controls are a little clunky in combat scenarios, but i honestly don't think the alternative is that great at all. but i've played all the old RE games around release so it's second nature to me

To be fair, I did play part of the game as Chris on Normal (never finished;
got to Enrico and stopped there

Holy shit this is the first time I've heard that. #Dead
Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure someone said otherwise the other day and I don't ever remember getting a time that low on GCN.

I'd agree. At first it seemingly felt nice, like I had more freedom, but these games were simply not designed for that due to the prerendered backgrounds and frequently changing camera angles. I just think it's mindblowing how while it's definitely arguable that tank controls aren't ideal thus turning some people off from playing these, that they're still, IMO, easily the best and even easiest way to play.
AFAIK it's the only time where the in-game clock stops counting.

Made some good progress in my game today. When I started playing I had just gotten the Armor Key, and by the time I put the game down I had just fought
and gathered up the four
. I've explored pretty much every single room that I can in the mansion, and I solidified my favorite routes through the mansion, which will help in my next playthroughs. I should really kill that first zombie you come across in the game, the one who hangs out in the hallway by the dining room. I keep thinking I'll be able to dodge him but I've used probably three defense items on his dumb ass. I'll definitely be taking him out the next time I play. I've also found it's super helpful to kill the
in the arrowhead hallway. I use that hallway probably more than any other hallway on the west side of the mansion.
Man, I've forgotten what a great a game this is. I'll definitely be playing it on Normal next, since I have 100+ handgun ammo right now on Easy. To be fair though I'm avoiding killing zombies as much as possible, probably more than I should. Still, I'm doing pretty well so far (no deaths) so I'm gonna keep up with it.

Even in normal and hard it's extremely easy to end up with a huge excess of handgun ammo. I usually dump the handgun as soon as I acquire a shotgun.
You could be right. I looked up some speedruns for the GCN version and there are some as low as 1hr 47min.

I think it only sold like 1.3m on the cube so loads of people missed out on it.

So, I got the "second" Stone and Metal Object (the one you have to put together), yet the first is still nowhere to be found.
I guess I was mistaken in thinking I had it, because apparently, I don't. Somehow. I really don't know what to do other than start over.
I have checked the coffin (even though I remember picking it up after the fight with the prototype), my inventory, and my chest - multiple times.

Did you check the path leading to the courtyard?
I've beaten the PSone original twice but never really played the GameCube version. Finished it today.
Cool, I'll give that a watch later. I don't know any sort of speedrunning tricks for the game despite playing it countless times so this will be interesting.

If you've found the second one, maybe you should go back to the door that leads into the
residence and cabin areas

I never played the PS1 original but I did beat the GC game back in the day. I've been meaning to replay it on my Wii for a few years now so the remaster is pretty timely. I'm looking forward to RE0 though since I've never played that one.

Wow. Dude. I'm gonna go look in the mirror and call that guy a piece of garbage!
I completed the PS1 version several times (most recently, just before Christmas on my Vita), but I only played an hour of the Gamecube version back in 2002.
Finally beat it yesterday, and started a Chris playthrough straight after. Brilliant game.
