Exactly! I remember a warehouse... and some back alleys. There was a fair bit outdoors. But it wasn't the mansion, or the police station / underground lab, or the (flawless IMO) village-castle-island transition of Resi 4. Re-treading the same areas several times is a big part of the Resi experience in my opinion, the locations become as important as the characters and you know them inside out. It lost that completely in 3 and also in 6, and to an extent 5, as you were constantly moving on. Though I think it was partially remedied in 5 as it had a chapter select feature right from the off, and heavily encouraged re-playing areas several times. I remember farming the "Licker corridor" for days, must have killed thousands of the poor buggers, I don't know if I'll even find them any more after herding them like gem-dropping cattle. The firepower in Resi 5 was hilariously OP.

Ooooh there's a cheat engine script for the PC demo to lock the timer :hee:. Though apparently the demo does also have a definitive "end point" (obviously, as the download is only 7gb).

I want an Outbreak remake next. It's so underrated.

So are they not releasing this in VR? Shame as Biohazard in VR is hands down the best game i have ever played.

It's 3rd person over-the-shoulder, not first person.

REmake is easily the best traditional RE game and I think it's held up over the years. I don't think it's aged badly at all. It was excellent on release and it's still pretty great now. It took everything that made the original a classic and amped it up and they weren't scared to change things up either. REmake is a perfect remake.

Nemesis certainly has the potential to do well, RE2 is most likely going to be a massive success and it's likely going to result in people wanting more classic Resident Evil and Capcom is likely to listen. With Nemesis, it's less about the separate locations and more about the fact that you could finally explore Raccoon City as one of the few common complaints about RE2 was that you were only out in the city for a brief time before. Not only that but Nemesis was the first true persistent enemy that the game ever had and the only real thing standing in the way of a Nemesis remake is that Mr. X in RE2R kinda cannabilises that idea (although I suppose he was kind of the proto-Nemesis to begin with). Still, the thought of Nemesis charging after you in a RE2R style game is terrifying.

Code Veronica is more niche but the fact that it is a direct sequel to RE2 makes it more likely that it could be remade following RE2's release.

I started a game on the original RE2 earlier, got to the Police Basement so I'm not far off finishing the police station, I believe. I've enjoyed it so far, it's been years since I played it last and it'll be fun to see how different the remake will be from the original when I've refreshed my memory of the original.

Played & enjoyed it but I am ANNOYED. It took forever to get the game started (black-screening on the menu) and then I played like 15 minutes and it crashed... and when I restarted it, the game had reset to the start but it still only gave me the remaining 15 minutes :hmph:. I got up to getting the Spade (I think?) key and being radio'd to come back to the entrance as the injured cop "had something to show me", but my time ran out before I actually got there.

Dunno if it's just issues with the demo or if the PC version is going to be glitchy overall. Planning to get for PS4 anyway so not a huge issue I guesssss.

I hadn't found any of the keys, you got further than me!

It was just randomly sitting on a desk upstairs. But it's just for opening one of the other doors back to the main area. There's also an add-on pouch in the same area that increases your inventory by 50% which would have been pretty handy... If I'd had more than 90 seconds of the demo left :joker:

Also confession: I couldn't get the script for unlimited demo time to work, but while I was on cheat engine I tinkered a bit and got the handgun ammo to lock at 12 (so unlimited ammo and never had to reload, it would go down to 11 for a split second then reset to 12) because I wanted to get as far as possible with my mere 15 minutes without worrying about ammo :joker:. Some of the zombies take an unreasonable number of headshots to kill?? I wonder if guns will be upgradeable like Resi 4 onwards... I don't remember it taking 9+ shots to down a basic zombie in the original Resi 2. There also doesn't seem to be a melee attack (no Resi 4 roundhouse kick or Resi 5 falcon-punch :( ) and the knives are degradable so using an entire clip to kill one zombie seems unreasonable...

I also played a little bit of Resi 4 earlier and got a refresher of Leon becoming a ninja. You can only start on normal and I've beaten that game like 10 times on Pro :joker:. But yes... The initial enemies take at most three bullets (or a bullet, a kick and a stab to save ammo).

:joker: The IGN reviewer played Leon A then Claire A and based his original review on that... saying that it was really disappointing that the two characters had almost identical paths through the game :umm2:. They had to retract part of the review and upped the score (from 8.8 to 9.0)...

It's been getting rave reviews across the board, I should get it tomorrow so I'm gonna have the day on it and hopefully complete on or two scenarios before Tuesday.

I was playing Resi 4 today... I forgot that you couldn't strafe! How did we used to live like this? It took a while to get used to the controls again.

I was on the original RE2 a few days back, only had time to complete Claire's campaign but it was enough to refresh my memory of the old game.

Also, it's apparently been revealed that (not spoilers for the game itself but for the enemies you face).

I'd love HD remakes of the Dino Crisis games. I've been playing DC2 on my PC recently, forgot how much I love it.

I was actually thinking when I played the demo of this, that I would love a remake of DC and DC2 in "modern Resi" over-the-shoulder style, and then a follow up "proper" DC3 as the series basically ended with DC2 (on a cliffhanger, no less).

However I have just had it dawn on me that "Dino Crisis" is a ridiculous name for a game :joker:.

...though... Resident Evil lowkey is too, it's just iconic now. But let's face it, if it was today they would just have stuck with Biohazard for the western release.

Granted, both names are a bit silly. Maybe "Cretaceous Crisis" would work, as twerps who think they're being clever like to point out most of the archosaurs in Jurassic Park are actually from the Cretaceous period :p

I've played the first hour or so, mostly just scoured the place for items. It's excellent so far although the beginning is a bit disappointing in it's briefness, you're basically deposited right outside the police station but it's only a small problem really.

The licker is also stressing me out. After seeing it in the window but not hearing and seeing it again since has me peering around every corner all like.

I just keep expecting it to jump out at me at any moment so kudos to Capcom for the killer atmosphere.

I bumped into the Licker, I wont say where though, first thing I did was 180'd and ran back to the save room lol

Did you get your games today?

Mine came early :D

My brother ordered two and gets them tomorrow lol.
