Where the hell did you get your copy, I gotta wait 5 hours to play it.

Australia. My copy unlocked 10 hours ago at midnight.

How's performance?

I'm on PS4. It's smooth.

Everyone knows that country doesn't exist, that's why the country is filled with shitposters. Because only a shitposter would claim to live in a country that doesn't exist.

Is the ammo scarcity true. Is this a return to survival horror, and not balls to wall action like RE4? Particularly in the mid game?

In my short time playing - Yes, I believe so. I had to avoid many zombies because I don't have the ammo to spare. And well placed headshots are critical to saving ammo.

Are you playing on hard?

Are you playing on hard?

Yeah

removing the opening city trek just shows whomever remade the game didn't know why the original was so loved in the first place

Yeah those first few streets were harrowing as fuck. By the time you reach the mansion you're just glad to be out of the danger. It wouldn't surprise me if none of the people creating it are the original developers, and these new devs want to put their own "spin" on it.

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

Game's out now on steam. In UK and Spain at least.

 

[Drakortha]

Oh yeah, and..

Spoiler

There's no save room music.. except for about 20 seconds of it the first time you enter the room. And that's it.

What a huge wasted opportunity to remake it in the same style as REmake instead of this RE6 style trash.

i imagined that they would have expanded on the opening sequence, not rip it out entirely. Racoon city in flames is very iconic.

Game seems to lack personality and style in general. Somber and serious, overly so for my taste. The Romero Dead trilogy is still the best zombie shit around because they have personality and quirk, a voice behind them. The second best, Return of the Living Dead, well it's a comedy, it's irreverent, yet the zombies themselves are the scariest when you consider how much it takes to stop even one.

Return of the Living Dead is way more terrifying. Instead of slow shambling corpses, they can come after you at a full sprint and never get tired, while retaining all the intelligence they had while they were alive. Plus actually getting bitten and becoming one of them is a fate worse than death, you're in constant excruciating pain and not even a bullet to the head will kill you.

The Original soundtrack swap is poorly implemented. Walking through doorways (sometimes even open archways) into other rooms causes a very sudden music swap over. It doesn't blend at all, and it just takes all enjoyment out of using it.

Yeah I agree it's scarier, I just think the Romero trilogy is the best overall. But RotLD has a disturbing undercurrent that other zombie flicks and games don't have. Colorful characters, a lot of goofy reactions and situations, but a nightmarish scenario. Also that they specifically lust after brains is extra bit of gruesomeness. Although I remember them moving at a jog rather than sprint. The DotD remake zombies ran like they were running track, and I thought it was dumb.

 

[Latro]

return of the living dead had that weird late 80's/early 90's body-horror aesthetic that hasn't been shamelessly ripped off yet

 

[Wunderbar]

I'm around 3 hours into the game and I have to say it isn't really living up to some of my expectations.

Spoiler

Playing Leon, the first zombie encounter was really well done. Detailed and full of tension and horror. But then the trek to RPD through the city is completely missing? You watch the truck crash cutscene then run up some stairs and you're already there. It comes off as lazy and too short - like a whole portion of the game was cut..

The first Birkin encounter also seemingly comes out of nowhere with no buildup, tension, or horror. It feels like the game just goes "Here you go! here he is!" just to tick a box.

On a positive note - Lickers are satisfyingly deadly and efficient at killing you if you're not careful. I'm playing in hardcore mode.

They could have done it so great. Given the new camera, they could use it so the player could better see how destroyed and fucked up everything is.

Just fanart.

Although, if you're in the market for that...

Guys, the city trek IS in the game. The gas station + the road infested with zombies. It lasts 10 minutes of gameplay, just like in the original game (This is not Resident evil 3).

I've playing it from a while on hard and I must say that I'm happy with the result. My only grip with the game is how absent the default music is in key areas (Library, main hall, save rooms). There's music, but doesn't plays always for some reason. The classic music swap does the job for me (It adds some sound effects like the inventory ones and the voice screaming "RESIDENT EVUULLL" and the main menu) because makes the music constant, but is a DLC after all. Also the manual saving system should be an optional thing in every single difficulty and not just in the hard one. I guess mods fill fix this on PC. Maybe Capcom adds the thing with a patch in the future.
