Resident Evil 2 Remake

[TheHeroOfTime]

REmake and Zero were a kind of rebooted universe in their own way. For example, in REmake is mentioned that the Spencer mansion belonged to... well, Spencer. In Code veronica was mentioned it belonged to the Ashford family. Those games created the characters of Oswald spencer and James marcus, expanding the umbrella lore. Also, Lisa trevor was a monster created with a mix of viruses, including the G virus and even the nemesis parasyte. It's a shame REmake 2 didn't follow that universe, it feels like a complete new one. (The lab is different of the one you can see in Zero).

Is anyone else having weird brightness issues?

What's happened to me several times is that I will be checking my inventory or the map or something and, when I come out of that, the room will be way darker than it should be.

It seems to fix itself if I walk into an area with significantly brighter lighting, but it's gotten me into trouble a few times (it's hard to avoid zombies lying on the ground if you can't see them!).

Seems like it may be an issue with the latest NVIDIA drivers. I'll try and downgrade this weekend to see if it helps.

I heard that DMX was released from prison when game was released, it's that true?

Looks like a reasonable effort with a few flaws that should've been noticed; could be improved with some patches.
Never gonna outright replace the originals, more of a re-visioning than a remake.
Just like the new Tomb Raiders. RoTTR and 2013 are good for what they are; never gonna compare to driving the speedboat through the bridge in Venice @ Tomb Raider 2 though.

RE1 will always be favorite; played the PC release years ago with a 3DFX Voodoo. The second is same formula, expanded.
Never bothered with the third. Wasn't it quite short? I think I was tired of the same formula by that point.
Enjoyed the Gamecube version / HD remake of the first.
I could see this taking the fourth spot in my Resident Evil list.

Never really liked the fourth game - highly overrated - it's just a nonsensical, sub-par action game.
Played the fifth and Revelations 1 briefly - the latter suffers greatly due to it's 3DS origins.
Haven't tried any of the first person ones or the spin off games. Gave up on it.

I'm seeing people running this under Linux with Proton/Wine + DXVK (DirectX -> Vulkan)
Haven't tried that yet; got to be better than using shite Windows 10 + Denuvo.

Sega needs to answer this by dropping the sequel we've all been waiting for:

Zombie Revenge 2

 

[A horse of course]

It's cracked. Thanks for beta testing, buyfags.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

He just called us fags. Are we going to take that?

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

Hideki kamiya is playing the game too and is posting interesting things on his twitter

 

[Viata]

What happened with Kamiya only posting in Japanese now?

Maybe because He's Japanese

It's all the same universe. Capcom has just never been very good with staying consistent with certain parts of the story.

It might also be due to some things being misinterpreted during the translations. Japanese to English isn't the easiest from what I understand.

No shit. My point was that some years ago he would also tweet in English and now is blocking anyone that @ him if the post is not in Japanese while only tweeting in Japanese.

happened a while ago, he got tired of non-Japanese posters

“Hallucinations will play a big part, getting players confused on what’s real or not.”

Ugh... I don't like the way that sounds. This is Resident Evil not Silent Hill. I don't want to see a bunch of trippy dream-like sequences.

Capcom is debating on whether they want to make this a mainline game or spin-off.

If it ends up being a spin-off, give it a sub-title. Don't call it Resident Evil 8.

Development on Resident Evil 8 started last year by a small team.
Capcom is also discussing Resident Evil 3 Remake internally
Resident Evil 8 will be released only after Resident Evil 3 Remake is out.

Sorry, but that doesn't compute. So you're saying RE 8 is already under development, yet it won't be released until after a remake of RE 3 that's only being "discussed" at the moment?

He's always been a gigantic drama queen who can't take banter on twitter but still tries to act tough about it. It was obvious people started asking him dumb questions just to annoy him even further and he fell for it every time, going on long rants about "morons".

 

[J_C]

You're not wrong.

 

[A horse of course]

Infinitron and the staff asked me to let everyone know the fitgirl repack is out too.

 

[Swigen]

OMG Mr. X is an annoying fucking cunt! Also WTF, are the lickers respawning?! Fuck this gaem!!!

 

[Wunderbar]

Also WTF, are the lickers respawning?!

they don't

 

[Swigen]

Also WTF, are the lickers respawning?!

they don't

I swear I killed the 2 in the 2nd floor storage room and now they’re back!!

 

[Momock]

They don't respawn but some new one make an entry when you come back from the parking.

 

[Hellraiser]

Yeah, just avoid some paths that are not necessary to cross to loot everything/solve puzzles as enemies are spawned at some points in already visited/cleared areas.

Meanwhile scenario B impressions...

scenario B/2nd run

]The B scenario is a let down, as was already stated it is too similar to the A scenario making it obvious it was rushed. This also makes it also much easier since you can metagame it based on the first run experience. Too few items are in different places to prevent this.

Maybe this is also because I think Claire is just easier overall as her weapons are more versatile. High powered rounds in particular are great due to the guaranteed one hit kill headshots on hardcore. The submachine gun is very versatile. Flame rounds can one hit kill lickers if you get lucky (or regular zombies) and are far better than Leons shotgun which sucks before upgrades, same goes for acid rounds which aren't as great as in the original game but still better than Leon's shotgun. Only the starting pistol seems to suck a lot and I didn't use it much before the high powered rounds due to the 2nd run having the revolver and its ammo replacing the 9mm round spawns.

Leon's main advantage is the flamethrower because it is easier to purge the plant zombies with it, although the weapon overall is more risky to use as you need to kite with it due to the damage over time. With Claire you have to be a bit more creative not to waste too many flame rounds in the lab on the plant zombies.

Sparkshot is not as great as in the original game since it seems to be suicide using it against bosses. But single zombies or lickers are toast.

Gonna finish REmake after this and play RE3 hard next.

Spoiler

In original Re2 submachine isn't Claire's weapon but a shared weapon. If you take in scenario A it won't appear in scenario B. Same for flamethrower. Seems they made many changes in weapon arsenal for being a remake.
Claire has the crossbow that was inferior than shotgun. At easy difficulty was the same thing but with hard you could onehit zombies (just fire aiming high) with shotgun and requires at least 3 with crossbow.
