Resident Evil 2 Demo Impressions Thread [Demo Spoilers Only]
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
You can find the C4 but you can't find the detonator.
There's a video from someone playing on PC where they've modded it to give themselves items that are still in the game code, but not actually accessible.
That's probably what I saw then...and yeah, I meant the detonator. I had forgotten the C4 was already on the wall.
I preordered the Deluxe version to get the costume and sound track DLC. That is something I never do. The demo did an excellent job selling me this game. Can't wait to play a Treeeple A title the day it comes out, just a real ResetEra poster.
And a completely unfitting one that has no bearing on what I was saying. Why would "nfl running back" be a figure of speach for "slowly and erratically moving zombies who speed up a little when close"?
Even as a figure of speech... what?
Disagree, they already do this... a little more would make encounters more tense and take more skill to land a headshot.
They were too easy to headshot, by far.
..... Yet.
It's just pretty hard to actually break a well made knife, those a sturdy as f. Seems weird that they'll break fighting a zombie.
It doesn't bother me at all though, games gonna be games. Can't wait to slash those zombies with Noir Leon.
True. The final game desperately needs a 30 FPS cap for the base consoles.
Booked next Friday off.. haven't booked time off work for a game since Mass Effect Andromeda.. man I hope this time turns out better than last time lol.
It's contextual. If you run or walk at max speed towards the door, Leon/Claire will basically shoulder-charge and push the door open.
When you walk slowly towards the door, they will place their hand in front and gently push the door open.
I haven't checked but perhaps this isn't as noticeable on PC since WASD directional input is inherently digital and makes the character walk at full speed, unlike analog sticks where you can adjust the speed.
All I'll say is Hardcore mode is HARD! You're in for a surprise in a good way ;-)
That being said, I still recommend first playing on Normal difficulty and save the Hardcore run later, even for reasonably seasoned action gamer. Normal mode is plenty challenging IMO.
Even if you're an RE vet, there are enough changes to warrant Hardcore run on a subsequent play-through.
The platinum for this game is going to be a lot of fun, I feel.
Given what you said about the amount of items in the demo, I'm guessing that gathering 60+ bullets in 15 minutes isn't exactly representative of the full game?
So there's only normal and hardcore? :/ Hope it's not a bit too easy and bit too hard ala RE7. I'm glad hardcore sounds like it keeps the remixed encounters/items from madhouse though, which was a very cool touch.
I compared 'slowly and erratically moving zombies who speed up a little when close' to NFL running backs, because classic zombies shouldn't do that.
The mobility the zombies have right now (based off the demo) are good because it still shows clumsiness & stupidity.
Giving them more mobility for the sake of difficulty seems inauthentic to what RE2 was.
Judging how the demo released at the usual time see no reason why this wouldn't be the same, which sucks since it's like 7pm for Europe.
So it's Easy, Normal and Hardcore? No Hard difficulty? I always play on Hard... Oh well, ill take your word on Normal mode.
I had zero interest in this before playing the demo, never played through a RE game before in my life, tried 4, tried 5 it never clicked with me, but for some reason the demo left me wanting more....I don't know if I should bite damn it....
You should also give RE 7 a chance btw. It's a completely different game then 4 and 5 (in a positive way).
I'd even say as much as: It's a modern horror master piece.
WBacon Three questions:
1. Is it possible to use the noir costumes without having the game be in black and white?
2. Is Hardcore mode separate from the Hard difficulty, or are they the same?
3. Is it possible to play the game with limited saving through the use of ink ribbons on the first playthrough, or is this locked to subsequent playthroughs like in RE7?

Pre-load, most definitely. Hopefully end of this week; at the latest, early next week.
Steam release time: I'll put up a post once we finalize specific rollout times. More on this later.
Pretty much.
Glad to hear that!
Damn, now I can`t wait to play the final release!
I´d like to know this. too.
Can you comment on the age of the build in the demo? Will the softness of the X version be changed in the final version?
1. Zombies already do that! Literally. In all mainline RE games. This is classic zombie behaviour. What are you even talking about?
I'm saying it should be developed more to make encounters more interesting instead of just making headshots cost more.
2. Your comparison was absurd. NFL players have no behaviour like the quote you just compared them to.
You used that because you thought I meant "fast" and "run" because you didn't read my post properly. And I know you meant "fast" and "run" because, after your silly NFL analogy you said, and I quote:
"I personally find it scary not knowing if a Zombie is dead or not, vs Zombies being able to run or dodge bullets."
So what are you even doing at this point...
Your logic doesn't follow, at all.
The zombies already move this way. Making them more varied in their animations so landing shots becomes trickier would be a better way to make them hard to kill than increase headshot cost imo.

That, I have no idea. I suppose we'll find out in 9 more days.
1. Sorry, no idea as I haven't tried it.
2. Hard/Hardcore is one and same.
3. We mentioned it in one of our streams, but similar to RE7's Madhouse difficulty, ink ribbon save feature is for hard mode only. There are many other differences in hard mode, but I will not spoil it here.
Say it proudly my man, because it is! RE7 is fantastic!
Also hoping we get an answer on whether ink ribbons/limited saves can be utilized on the first playthrough and doesn't have to be unlocked.
Edit: And just answered after I wrote this lol. Thanks WBacon!
Sorry, I can only comment/clarify on what we publicly showed or spoke about, or operational matters such as preloads. :-)
Thanks, I appreciate the response. Really excited for this one. Why do I feel like I'm going to end up with two copies? lol.
No, that's just our general PR policy. No comment, confirmation, or denials.
No, just a single campaign for Leon and a single campaign for Claire.
Speaking of 4K.
Would be nice to know the differences between the demo and final version.
NXgamer made a video talking about this.

I thought it had been confirmed there were no multiple campaigns and it was just the two?
Pretty sure I've read that a few times.
