Well you can't get the hydra till you fully upgrade the Ithica, M3 is the most damaging shotty in the game and the best for a first playthrough.

Three barrels good, one barrel better.

I can't remember if I ever did a Broken Butterfly only run in 4, but is that possible? If you only get ammo for guns you hold and you only carried the magnum could you on use a BB? Because that reload animation, stranger!

Yeah, the hydra outperforms the other shotguns considering how the game handles damage and pellets.

You get ammo for handguns regardless of whether you own one or not. But after the Village they'll stop giving you ammo drops for that kind of gun if you pass a set amount.

i could be wrong because i didn't play the wii version, but didn't it have really forgiving auto aim / aim assist?

in a sense, because of the motion controls they took away the laser on all of Leon's guns and replaced it with a Goldeneye-esque crosshair that would turn red when you were aiming at an enemy. This was really handy because, for me, the crosshair was waaaaaay easier to see than the little laser dot, when I got RE5 Gold for the PS3 I had atrocious aim compared to RE4 because half of my shots I couldn't see where the laser was.

The ammo drops are definitely different than the Gamecube version. I don't think I ever ran out of handgun bullets in that one, and in this one, I can barely get any kind of ammo to drop from enemies at all.

Also, is there anyway to get subtitles working in RE4? The option is greyed out for me.

The subtitles only work if you're playing the game with non English voice acting.

The real problem with the difficulty in RE4 is that it mostly came from bullshit things, like Quicktime Events. I still remember getting super pissed at that run-from-the-boulder thing costing me deaths because I couldn't mash buttons fast enough for the game's liking, and being penalized in the scores / having my difficulty lowered because of that. It happens a lot, too.

We forgave RE4 for some of its more bullshit moments because it was revolutionary in its time and did so many other things right, but the game still had a large number of really poor design choices.

At least when it came out QTE's were more novel than they are now. I remember thinking the knife fight scene was really cool back then.

The QTEs in RE4 were really forgiving, and this is coming from someone who has never won a button mashing minigame in Mario Party. Besides, you can avoid the run-from-the-boulder by shooting those guys.

New trailer:

Finally some combat. Can't say I think it looks interesting, tbh. Hopefully it's actually fun to play.

Also: http://www.capcom-unity.com/capkel/blog/2016/09/14/a-new-resident-evil-7-biohazard-trailer-is-out-now-with-a-demo-update-on-the-way

quote:

In addition, the Resident Evil 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour demo has hit a huge milestone, with over three million people having downloaded the demo worldwide! For those of you who have explored every nook and cranny that the dilapidated house has to offer, we’ve got something special in store for you. A new Twilight version update for the demo is on the way, and will be available starting tomorrow, September 15th. And while Beginning Hour has previously only been available to PlayStation Plus members, when the update goes live tomorrow, all PS4 owners will be able to download the demo and experience it for themselves. If you haven’t played the demo yet, it will be a great time to investigate the dilapidated corridors and uncover the mansion’s mysteries.

quote:

We also have some exciting news to share about the digital deluxe version of the game for North America. Previously offering the game and a season pass for two additional story episodes for $79.99 in North America, we’ll be upgrading the digital deluxe version with an additional playable story episode starting tomorrow. This will also shift the price to $89.99 to account for the additional content. However, if you’ve already pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition on the North American PlayStation Store, your pre-order will automatically be upgraded at no additional charge. Plus, all pre-order customers of either the standard or deluxe versions will get a number of bonuses, including the Survival Pack: Recovery Set, consisting of consumable healing items to help you withstand the mansion’s horrors. Don’t worry; these consumables are available again each time you start a new game. Also included are a mysterious in-game Lucky Coin, and access to the incredibly difficult Madhouse mode (normally unlocked after completing the game once). As if that wasn’t enough, all pre-orders on the NA PlayStation Store will also instantly receive a dynamic PS4 theme. Be sure to head over and pre-order today!

No.

RE7 is gonna be good in VR, probably not too special otherwise.

I hope Mr. Baker rises from the dead one last time while you're watching the credits.

As its a VR game I would assume you would have to bring the gun up to your face. As for that trailer, I was most interested by the beginning. Being stalked by a Mr. X/Nemesis figure in VR should be fun.

That was an alright trailer. It was better than the last one we got since it tells us there's more going on than just running and hiding, but I really hope the cannibalism aspect isn't played up as much. Having gross stuff shoved in your face isn't scary, it's just disgusting.

I don't like 4, either, so that's fine.

E: 2 and 6 are the only ones I've liked. I finished 5, but it wasn't that great. Only played a little of 3, but I hated the Nemesis creature. Never played 1 when it was new.

RE 6 is the least like the rest of the series (apart from 7) so you should probably be looking forwards to it instead.

People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
RE games are kinda all a bit varied from one another so I find complaints of it "not feeling or looking like an RE game" to belie a lack of experience with the series.

That said, I still have no clue what to make of RE7 at all.
