Yeah, no spoilers in this thread seems reasonable. Granted it was ages ago, but REmake shows Capcom arent afraid to introduce new really cool stuff. I would hate for, say, a nemesis appearance or something getting spoiled for me before the game is even out.

lol imagine if a third into the game Mr. X gets wrecked by Nemesis as a direct attack from the French Division and you have to now kite one monster into the other in an effort to wipe them both out

though I suppose a more realistic cameo would be if you saw him streaking over the rooftops or something

Surprised so many people had ammo trouble in RE3, I’m in the clock tower on hard being chased around by big boy and I’ve stuck to the tried and tested rule of “kill what you have to and just avoid everything else” and I’m swimming in shotgun shells.

I do wish the ammo crafting, live selection and story variation had persisted beyond this game though, it’s really neat.

Ammo crafting is in RE7 and RE2make at least, that's something it seems they're very keen on bringing back.

I liked the weapon crafting in Outbreak, but I'd like to see a game where it's a fundamental component and not one character's gimmick.

fun fact about the whole snazzy coats the typical Tyrant series wears: they contain "power limit" tech that help stabilize their intellect, self-control, and prevent mutations.

I guess this explains why the "naked" Tyrants always go crazy and have bizarre mutations: they don't have the cool trenchcoats that pacify their lovely genetic code. I guess we can now confirm that the fedora actually has POWERS

RE7 had a weird crafting system where everything is neatly shown in a separate menu but the most important recipe Handgun Ammo + Gunpowder = Enhanced Ammo is a secret recipe that you just have to figure out.

Everything in the game tells you can make Enhanced Ammo with Gunpowder + Strong Chemical which is a massive waste of resources.

So because I'm a terrible person I went and hosed about to get around the 30 minute threshold, just so I could goof off and explore things a bit more thoroughly.

As expected, there was nothing really out of the ordinary encountered during regular play (meaning no item hacking etc.), but there was a goddamn zombie tumbling over the banister upstairs and almost landing on my loving head. I only wanted to check the safe room under the stairs for stuff!

I never knew this! Now I’m tempted to do another play through while I wait for RE2make.

Actually I have the PS4 version of REmake that I have never actually got to playing. I grew up watching my mom play the GameCube version so I have some sort of visceral fear reaction to it. Thinking of starting it up this weekend, any tips for someone who’s only ever played the post RE4 style games? I think the rerelease gives updated controls right?

The controls are exactly the same as the GameCube version except you can opt for tank controls or movement relative to the camera, which does make it somewhat easier. You also get quick turn (introduced in RE3) and defensive weapons that are consumables that help you if you get grabbed.

If it’s your first OG style RE game I would go with Jill for your first play through as her campaign is a fair bit easier than Chris.

And you grew up watching your mum play this? Christ I feel old.

You sure the RE7 enhanced bullet recipe wasn't written on a note somewhere? I had access to that recipe on my first playthrough.

E: Oh, you can double the gunpowder. Sort of makes sense since you can overload ammunition if you do your own crazy gun stuff.
E2: I swear there's a crayon scrawled note with the recipe for double gunpowder. I reinstalled and replayed NG+ through to getting the gooey arm and haven't seen the drat page though.

also you want info on A and B and how that works now, well some good news whoever you play 2nd, will have changes based on who you played first, so if your leon first, claire will turn up at the gate like in the demo and you;; play that in her 2nd game, and if your claire first, then when playing as leon 2nd, you will enter via the gate. also who you play 2nd will get the play the true final boss like in the original. not sure if that means 2nd character only fights mr.x at the end or not tho

because old nerds like us are in the minority for this kinda poo poo. they focused on 3rd person by design and fixed 2nd. hasnt been mentioned because you have to beat the game first, its a bonus mode, they want you experiencing the new version first.

no screen shots of it in action yet tho, sounds like the option is there but doesnt do anything yet its a day one patch.

So if we want the "True Ending" the trophies mention our first go around, its probably Claire A + Leon B we should be doing again, right?

no, you'll get the true ending bit on whoever you play as 2nd. sounds like this and the intro with the gate is the only real thing that changes. presumably leon takeouts super mr.x and claire gets type 4 or whatever it was since theres achievements for both beating them under the count down.

theres no option to pick a or b, just leon and claire. dunno if it gets reset after a 2nd playthrough tho, hope so.

that's not nature's way
I'm really curious about how fixed camera is even going to work.

Like, how will they handle aiming? Will it be like the original, where you can lock on? I can picture the movement controls being exactly the same, but combat has to change immensely.

Apparently the aim assist option in the demo snaps your aim directly to body parts in a way that would probably work well for a fixed camera.

Still not totally willing to believe this though. Feels too good to be true, those photos would be extremely easy to fake, and "can't post actual proof due to day one patch" is a very convenient excuse. And would it even have tank controls?

A part of me wishes the 'true' ending was gated behind beating the game with fixed cameras and tank controls just for the online saltiness that would cause.

They should add a mega classic mode where the game freezes for half a second between each camera change and line of dialogue as it loads data from the disc :v:

LOVES THE KOG


honestly i think at least half the hate for RE6 at this point is generated by people who do not actually like the game telling other people "the game is bad but the Leon section is the best part" which if you actually are going to enjoy the game are probably both 100% the opposite of how you will feel. so you get people going in and starting the arguably weakest campaign and going "wow this is as good as the game gets?" and quitting and perpetuating the cycle. it also doesn't help that the forced walking parts of the beginning of the leon campaign ruin what would probably be the best chapter of it otherwise

i definitely do agree the game feels a bit schizophrenic design wise and i think every vehicle section of the game massively sucks but there's fun stuff to be found in all of the campaigns. if not for the snowmobile part you could argue the jake and sherry campaign is fun the entire way through

Abso fuckin loutely but also be prepared for none of it to be explained and for a good 60% or more of the campaign to not let you use it.

You know what, skip the campaign and go straight to raid mode.

i think arguably the biggest appeal of RE6 is the brawler gameplay is fun as poo poo. you just run around doing slide tackles and shooting weak points to get melee prompts. also jake wesker has an equip-able weapon that is just his hands ready to whip your rear end

someone posted some really good RE6 mercenaries mode game plays as like a tutorial of how to play the game, i think it was a goon, watching that would give you an idea if this would scratch that combat itch for you. i wish i could remember who it was to give a link, hopefully someone knows what i am talking about
