doesnt she slam the door shut and push ethan out and then turn back into evil mia as she does it? if you dont give her the cure you have to fight her if you do she just pushes you out while turning evil, is what i remember. like the cure gave her more power to fight it at any rate. i mean the ending implies that once evie is gone they get better but now end of zoe is saying otherwise. could be a way to get mia to go bad again in another game or some poo poo.

i dont know, this is resident evil science we are talking about.

Or it's just bad writing. That's kind of the general feel of RE7. It looks pretty, and most of the mocap stuff is amazing, but the writing is pretty bad even for Resident Evil. Well, main series RE anyway. I liked they toned stuff back at least. A smaller area and a few people being affected rather than an entire city, and going full on Michael Bay.

Why would it do that!?
I saw there was the Not a Hero extra available the other day so I opened up the game on my PS4, knowing I didn't have time to play it right then but thinking that the several GB update it downloaded would mean I'd be able to give it a go on the weekend.

Nope, one more update was required, plus a system update, neither of which were too massive, but finally... I can download the Not a Hero add-on. Maybe I'll even get to play it today!

Not quite. Until each console runs the same game differently and required browsing forums and loving with various settings to actually make things run it's going to remain lacking

I have a sneaking suspicion the additional several GB download was to download End of Zoe, which I have no interest in since I would have to pay for it.

Not a Hero seems all right though, I had very low hopes considering it was free, but it's a good continuation so far. I've only had like 3 of the special ammo in the hour or so I've played, apparently I didn't spot a lockpick so I missed out on some more, and the next set is behind a door packed with the enemies I can't kill because I don't have the right ammo. That's my resi!

Is it best to fire one ramrod into a molded and to switch ammo or to just unload ramrods into them?


Edit: not a hero was cool.
I actually liked it quite a bit. Wish it was about 30% longer though. Actually took me 2 hours so some of you guys must play way faster than me.

Does anyone know if Joe must Die is VR compatible? That's pretty much gonna make or break whether or not I want to buy End Of Zoe.

I'm pretty sure RAMRODs are an instant kill, except on the boss molded where you only need to fire the first one.

I may be (and probably am) completely wrong here but I'm pretty sure he (fat white-furry-mold man) required at least a couple of RAMROD shots over the duration of that fight, or at least that's how it seemed to be during my run. Bastard stopped acknowledging my shotgun blasts entirely every 15-20 seconds after magical RAMROD ammo usage.

I haven't tried Joe Must Die yet but it's just a difficulty selection within End of Zoe (which is definitely VR compatible, it's how I played it) so I can't imagine it wouldn't be.

Edit: Confirmed, works in VR mode.

Not A Hero - Fine. None of the horror or humor of the main game, but not necessarily bad. I wish Lucas had gotten his just-desserts as a Human though. He was such a fucker all through the game as a Regular Guy that I didn't get much of a sense of satisfaction from killing some random lumpy beast.

End of Zoe - Got plenty of belly laughs from me. More fun than NaH for sure, but man they really didn't need to bring Swamp Man back for it. Swamp Man left a calcified lower body behind when he died. Keeping the door open for a future appearance? Unlikely, because this is the last RE game we're ever getting.

Are there more unlockables for beating NaH and EoZ multiple times/certain difficulties/parameters? I just did each one on Normal and unlocked a new "sight" for NaH and like 3 new things for EoZ.

I think if you beat Hero on professional you get infinite ammo, probably something else.

If you do Joe Must Die I think you get some sort of extra weapon. It also has a speed run challenge mode that gets you a magic knife. Haven’t done either.

Ferrous
Feb 28, 2010
I unlocked the magic knife earlier (complete normal Extreme challenges), it has life steal on it. Not had much of a chance to try it but it sounds a bit underwhelming compared to Power Fist.

Completing the Exxxxtreme+ challenges on Joe Must Die gives you infinite weapons.

Cool. Thanks. I was actually expecting it to not have VR support since it was inexplicably missing from Ethan Must Die and Jack's 55th birthday.

I think it really depends on what you're after. I know some people liked the arcade-like modes in Jack's Birthday and Ethan Must Die, but that stuff didn't really do much for me. My favorite bits of the DLC were the escaperoom segment called Bedroom for Banned Footage 1, and the Card game 21 from Banned Footage 2.

I didn't expect to enjoy 21 as much as I did. It isn't a normal game of 21 with a Resident Evil coat of paint on it, there are a variety of special cards that do interesting things and really change the way the game works. It's actually really great, and watching a quick video will probably do more to show why. It was probably my favorite piece of dlc, and it's totally different from the main game.

Bedroom is good, but it's a play through once and then you're done with it. A friend and I played this together and it was fun to cooperate and try to figure out what we needed to do to rescue poor Clancy from the bedroom. The catch is that Marguerite returns to the room at points so you have to return everything you've moved or altered before she returns or she'll know you've been attempting to escape. It's a cool experience and captures the tension of the main game better than most of the rest of the dlc.

Banned footage 1 and 2 are $10 each, so if you want to play both you might as well buy the gold edition and play it all. If you end up buying it piecemeal, I don't think End of Zoe is worth $15, or even $5. I don't really recommend it at all.

So there's a pretty good chance we might be hearing more about REmake 2 very shortly. With the upcoming 20th anniversary of Resident Evil 2 (next Sunday in USA/the 29th in Japan), some eagle eyed fans spotted some neat changes in Resident Evil's social media.
