Resident Evil 2 Remake

[Anthedon]

Played for a bit now. The high praise the remake gets is deserved. I was a little skeptical about the free camera initially but it works. The police station looks fantastic, the character models are superb (especially Ada). Now excuse me, a very large man with a fedora is chasing me.

Got this fucking thing on discount and it keeps crashing on me no matter how I put the settings wtf

When I played RE7, one day there was some kind of patch that broke the executable ... "REENGINE"? Is that it? Anyway, it turned out there was a driver issue that was patched and fixed within a couple weeks. If REENGINE sounds familiar in the error messages, try updating/reverting your video drivers.

The classic outfits are unlockables, among some weapons and game modes. The Claire one is pretty werid tho, I recommend downloading a mod for it.

It looks way better in game

All of those look freaking dumb. Not sure why you wouldn't just go with the stylish leather jacket.

Is there a recommended order of the playthroughs (just finished Leon A)?

Leon A -> Claire B
Claire A -> Leon B

 

[Steamboat Willie]

Claire A / Leon B is supposedly the "canonical" story. Though in the remake it doesn't make much difference.

Solid 8/10. The game has problems (fuck sherry), so far I'm enjoying the experience best resident evil game since... 3 (code veronica is cool but the backtracking)

I understand that is not a carbon copy of re 2 and that no longer uses fixed camera angles but in my opinion that shit is old... a product of hardware limitation (look at silent hill). Re 1 remake was good, too good in my opinion (raised the bar too high).

I actually think RE 3 is the worst of the classics. It's still a good game on it's own, but I put it behind 1, 2, and CV.

 

[Wunderbar]

remake 1 > 2 > 1 DC > 3 >> zero >>> CV

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

As long we agree on Code veronica being the worst of the classics then we are fine

I agree on it being the worst of the classics. Those others? I played them over and over again. In fact I think RE2 is the game that fried my original Playstation. I would leave that thing running for 10+ hours some days playing RE2 repeatedly. I know 1 and 2 by heart. 3? Played it once and meh, that was it. Very clear it was made by the B Team while the RE2 guys made CV.

After RE 3 remake maybe they will Remake Code veronica.

 

[JDR13]

I'm surprised they haven't already tbh, but I guess they want to stick to chronological order.

If and when they remake Code Veronica, I hope they keep the isometric camera like they did with REmake.

 

[Multidirectional]

Yeah I doubt they are going back to that at this point. Third person sells better and they already had success doing that for remake of 2.

 

[Psquit]

The main problem with a remake of CV is that most likely will censor all the weird shit and fucked up stuff.

 

[Viata]

I don't really think CV needs a remake. It's still my favorite RE and I play it every year(Dreamcast version is my favorite one).

 

[Wunderbar]

We don't need Veronica's remake. It's a pants on head retarded game with shit anime plot, cringe characters, shitty gameplay full of idiotic design decisions, dumb puzzles and excessive backtracking. I'm still furious about that shitty room with parasitic moths in Antarctica, that you need to backtrack through a dozen times. I'd rather replay RE6 that this garbage.

They'll have to redo the whole plot and every location to make it somewhat playable.

 

[Psquit]

I wish silent hill could get this type of remake.

Buddy, you just went full

 

[Steamboat Willie]

I remember Code Veronica being hard as fuck. Like way harder than any previous RE games on normal difficulty.

It's, however, the easiest one to do a knife only run since you can easily dodge zombies because now they don't insta grab you if you are too close.

 

[Wunderbar]

CV's knife was overpowered because devs failed to design proper ammo and weapons management in such a long and bloated game.
They've also made at least two situations where having your best weapons in Claire's inventory will result in a really bad time with Chris, because Claire would no longer be playable for a long time.

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

Code veronica is hard sometimes, and not always for good reasons. Some bosses are so poorly designed that the devs added the "continue" option in the main menu, where you can restart the bossfight of your current playthrough instantly if you die. Take the unintuitive first encounter against the tyrant as an example. Where the first thing that crosses your mind is to run the monster from one of the sides but you can't, you have to take him down. Otherwise, he pushes you on the fire insta-killing you. Other boss than can kill you in one hit is Alexia if she grabs you. The older RE games tend to save that kind of shit exclusively for some final bosses. Like the final Birkin form in RE2. Shit, even Nemesis does never one shot you for free, as far so strong and so dangerous he's supposed to be in his game.

 

[Psquit]

Doggo Birkin can instakill you but yeah, Bosses in resident evil were always shit, get locked in a room with the boss rinse & repeat. I always enjoyed the whole "ahhhh not my final form yet!"


This is Resident evil peak performance. A shitload of entries in the franchise and yet they can't beat the best B.O.W. in the franchise.
