I got into the habit very quickly (like, maybe after the first zombie?) of swiping with the knife just to make sure they were dead. Saved me a few bullets here and there.

Finished in 17:43 - as the timer got lower I was starting to worry, but it ended sooner than I thought. The gore in this looks amazing. I got a shotgun about halfway through and domed the zombie that'd followed me into the weapons lockers, and his whole skull just sorta blossomed into this huge crimson starburst. It was awesome

I wouldn't be surprised if enterprising people will just freeze the timer with Cheat Engine. E: loved what I played but I'm not the kind of person to rush even when an artificial timer is running like for this demo. I didn't get past acquiring the shotty.

Yeah, think I'm going to go Xbone for this. Had a fair bit of stuttering on the PC version, even after I turned it down to 30fps. Probably could have fixed it by playing with the settings but I didn't want to spend my limited time loving around with that.

Holy hell does it ever run bad on OG Xbone. I really need to expedite my new build. Knife durability sucks. I was wondering what was going on the second time I used it in defense and I couldn't pick it up. And no way to shake them off otherwise? Uhh... Still can't wait to sink my teeth in without time limits. It's fresh enough that I feel uneasy even with my knowledge of the original.

Very very pleasantly surprised with how well this runs on the PS4 Pro, straight 60fps when I was expecting a polished 30. It feels like RE7 and RE4 had a baby and decided to raise it to be exactly like RE2. If the Ethan leak is true and the game has a mode to match, I will be in absolute hog heaven. AND DO VR YOU COWARDS OMG IT WOULD BE SO GOOD I definitely ended my time with the demo wanting more. Day one for me for sure.

Pretty good demo, it’s just RE2 with some nice QOL improvements which is exactly what I wanted it to be. Exploring the station was just fun.

I'm glad there are so many spoiler blocks in this thread. I'm actually reluctant to start the demo while there are still two weeks to go until release.Raxivace posted:Yeah in true classic RE fashion it seems you're better off shooting to incapacitate rather than necessarily kill. What in tarnation is this Survival Horror heresy? You'd expend 3 - 4 bullets each on the same zombies several times during a classic RE run rather than just straight-up blap the fuckers with ~7 a go and never worry about them again?

I hope the final game has an infinite ammo mode. With 3 minutes left I decided to rush to the first zombie and ineffectively pistol the hell out of him. Both arms fell off before he dropped, and when he finally did, his head flopped off.

I also like that the station (even though it's a converted museum like in the original) actually feels more like a real police station. Yes, I know Gothic horror and all, but I like a more "realistic",I know that's not the proper term, station. You know just more filled it with less mansion things. And yes I am greatly amused that they added bathrooms, I remember the old Story Guide on gamefaqs used to even have a question dedicated to that

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:Speaking of these, am I the only guy in the universe that doesn't have these fuckers spring up the moment I enter the room? With a few exceptions (mainly in the lab area), I generally have to get up close enough to step on these bastards before they wake up and start chasing me around like my dead grandpa did in that horrible dream I had. Are you leaving zombie bodies around a lot? I don't typically get a lot of Crimson Heads, outside of the mandatory one before the armor key and the boss one. The few I've gotten are generally just up again already when I show back up later. And usually that's from me forgetting that sometimes they won't get replaced by Hunters in the mansion if you left them around. Maybe it's because the 'timer' or whatever clicks down while you're in the room? Hmm. Now I'm kind of curious myself. Might try a run through to deliberately Crimson Head up the mansion and what not to see their behavior next time I get a chance to play the REmake.

IIRC crimson heads stay down until you walk next to them, but once they are on their feet they will stay active until they are either put down or replaced by hunters (when you come back from the guard house). Also don't try to burn a crimson head that is still laying on the ground but hasn't woken up yet, it just wakes them up anyway. However, you can burn two zombies with one unit of fuel if they are close enough together (like literally overlapping) so that's a nice thing to do if you aren't 100% confident in your ability to just speedrun the first part of the mansion.

Here’s a Question. If you try to burn the first crimson head in the hallway and trigger an early awakening does that also trigger the others to start their timers or do they still have the grace period of until you grab the armor key officially from the pedestal?

First time I played REmake on the GC I figured all the corpses staying around were actually a sign of the times. All the bodies disappearing in the Original trilogy surely had to be about saving memory on both the memory card and the ram of the console, surely! Now in gamecube days we can just have that poo poo lying around. Object permanence! Also I downed every Z I found!  And then I found the note that explained crimson heads.  E: I'm sure I've had crimson heads come at me from across the room. And not a simple small one either. But, like, jog through a corridor with turns. It knew I was there without seeing me. It just activated and beelined for me.

I remember my brother saying to me years ago how growing up with the Master System playing My Hero and other side scrollers, wishing he could enter the buildings, at least the ones with open doors. Nitpicking here and this obviously isn't the only game like it but I wish they would either make all objects interactive (huge undertaking I know) or leave out the ones you can't touch. Hate having a row of lockers for example, one magical one with a big arrow pointing to it and the others, just nope. Again, sorry to nitpick but this is one of those things I wish gaming was matured past by now. On that note, will the whole game have big hints pointing to everything like in the demo? I really don't like that, makes it too easy. I really enjoy poking in every corner looking for poo poo.

If you try to burn the first crimson head in the hallway and trigger an early awakening does that also trigger the others to start their timers or do they still have the grace period of until you grab the armor key officially from the pedestal? I think that one's just scripted to rise up when you go to get the armor key. Trying to burn it early wakes it up like other Crimson Heads. I'm not quite sure on the rest though. (incidentally, burning multiple bodies is good, but another semi-useful thing you can do is torch a few of the zombies scripted to wake up at certain points, like the zombie on the floor in the '4 Itchy Tasty' bedroom or the one that can get up in the kitchen when you trigger the zombie coming into the room video. It makes fleeing those rooms slightly easier.)

I know on Easy the Hunters are banished by any still-present zombies, but anything above that I think Hunters take priority. This is definitely the case on Hard, because early on (back when this game was new) I tried leaving several zombies around to cut my finish time only for some scaly high-speed motherfucker to spook me into leaving the upper dining room and re-entering with the GL equipped.

Pretty sure when you blow the whistle to get the fake key that starts the ability to mutate throughout the mansion. But they don’t rise until you pass the first one. The hallway crimson will stay down until you gain that fake key and pass it to get to the real armor key or you try to burn it before it’s scheduled scripted time. I just never had the time or patience to see what truly causes the mutation for the others in the mansion. The dogs fake key? The first zombie? Both? The actual armor key grab?

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:Yes. I never used to but after 10+ years you just say 'gently caress it' and decide that carting the Lighter + Kerosene Flask around is wasted inventory space. I've left numerous not-dead zombies laying around all over the mansion due to this """professional""" laziness and only after I get real close while trudging around solving puzzles do they suddenly spring up with a sudden craving to eat my face. I don't know about a grace period, truth be told. One of the things I suppose I'll test next time I get a chance. The Crow Hall zombie disappears after a period. I've never found out if he switches rooms or something, and he's never around once you get the fuel canteen to burn him, so I don't know what happens to him. As for the other red herring zombies, they seem to be character or difficulty dependent on whether or not they get up to mess around. I've seen the kitchen one start crawling before, and while it was a long time ago and I could be wrong, I'm pretty sure the one in the western stairwell room outside of the save room (where you get the serum) can get up too. (as a semi-example of the character dependence on monster stuff, Jill gets to kill the surprise bathtub zombie in a cutscene, but has to deal with the hanging zombie in the guard house. Chris has the reverse: the zombie isn't killed in a cutscene but the hanging zombie never falls down. Their reactions to the reviving bee in the puzzle to get the wind crest also differs) As for the Hunters, again, not sure if it is difficulty dependent or not. I almost always play on normal when I'm blazing through it and try to avoid playing with the Hunters in general. Some rooms they do replace them (upstairs dining room), other rooms I've noticed don't get replaced (the Arrow hallway with the mandatory Crimson Head, though I've never killed all of them to see if they get replaced), and I'm pretty sure that a few only get replaced if they've been cleared out or only left with zombies (can't recall any from memory, but I have been surprised to find Crimson Heads instead of Hunters on mansion return trips). Edited for clarity.

The new map so far feels so good and logical, as do all the new touches like the lobby becoming a triage area, riot doors blocking personnel areas, and shelves pulled down in a hurry. I'm genuinely curious about how weird it gets when we get into Irons goofing with security on behalf of Umbrella...or if he does at all.

had to pretty much lower everything to get it to run on my garbo pc (lmao 750ti, lmao i5 4460, lmao 8g of ram) but even then it was smooth and didn't prevent me from getting siqqq headshots so it's all good. Definitely going to wait to get a better computer before I buy and play the game though, it feels like a waste of the artistic talent of the devs if I see everything in pixel mode. Ended up finishing the demo in just below 20 minutes on my first try and it kind of felt like it was real easy? Most likely the demo is set to easy mode because I had 72 rounds of 9mm by the time I was done (with another 12 in the 'tilda) plus some shotgun ammo. And 2 knives. And enough health items to get almost murdered twice over if I so chose. Also I think I've found how the game tells you whether a zombie is dead for good or just taking a nap : the killing headshots have much bigger bloodsprays and meatier sounds than "standard" headshots. Or it could just have been me...
