Resident Evil 2 |OT| 1998... I'll never forget it
- Thread starter Kindekuma
- Start date
Same. Apart from the bit about REmake. I've fallen back into that game hard. An absolute masterpiece. With that game I go through it, sit at the title screen for 5 minutes deciding what type of run I want to do next, then go through it again. And again.
I'm just glad these 2 games are having their day again. I like RE4 plenty but man.. it's never held a candle to the first 2 games for me. I've desperately wanted RE2 remade from the moment I saw the first screenshot of REmake. This has been such a long time coming.
Yeah, there was one other by him as well. It's uh, a little more avant garde.
Yuuup
its on boys
Thanks at least I know how much GB's to delete to make space for it now.
In that case my first playthrough will 100% be Claire in the Elza outfit. Cannot wait.
I haven't even started 2 yet, the original is so outdated honestly struggling to get through it. I'm just thinking of just playing through remake instead, and then OG 2, then remake 2 lol
So for those who played it/reviewed it, without any spoilers,
what's the best scenario in the Remake ? LeonA/ClaireB or ClaireA/LeonB ?
So are there actually 4 playthroughs which play out slightly differently. Eg. In the original Chief Irons had two different death scenes depending on which run you did with Claire.
I'll likely play it like this:
01: Claire A Normal Difficulty
02: Leon B Normal Difficulty
03: Leon A Normal Difficulty (likely with the Noire costume) trying to get unlocks for bonus weapons etc.
04: Claire B Normal Difficulty (Elza Walker costume) trying to get unlocks for bonus weapons etc.
05: Then it's either doing both hardcore modes or some trophy hunting / challenge runs like without saving, no healing etc. It depends on if you can take bonus weapons into hardcore mode like you could in RE7. Sounds like I need all the fire power I need for it, so hardcore mode might be last. And after all of that I will play the 4th Survivor. Or squeeze it in-between. Yeah, I'll likely keep playing this game for some time. I plan to achieve 100% again.
So a few quick questions as I've gone into this so blind that I only just found out it's an over the shoulder game.
1. PS4 Pro version, any issues? Any reports of having to like turn off HDR like in RDR2? I'm on a 4K display.
2. I have literally only played RE Code Veronica and RE4. None of the others. I like the setting but don't care much for the conspiracy story. Is this standalonish enough for that? I never played the original either.
3. Is it RE4 style methodical action survival horror or guns blazing?
EDIT- 4: Is there a reccomended way to play the game. I know there are multiple characters, I've heard you do lots of runs with them as if you play as one the other changes? I'm not so sure on this aspect though.

Capcom flipped the switch a few hours ago. 23.24GB install/21.9GB download.
as a person who's never played the original I have a newb question...I know there are 2 playable characters and after you finish your first run you get to start a 2nd run as the other character with different enemies, characters and weapons...but after you finish your 2nd run you get another 2nd run as your initial character...is the 2nd run of your initial character going to be different in any way?...hope that makes sense
To get a character's B side, you need to finish the other character's A side first.
For example, you beat Clarie A, you will get Leon B.
To get Claire B you need to beat Leon A first.
Leon A -> Claire B
Claire A -> Leon B
Do we know if we can play with ink ribbons on the non hardest difficulty yet? That was such a poor design choice in 7.
so A and B even for the same character present different endings, branches, characters, enemies etc?...so there are 4 separate storylines in the game?...but to get the 'true' ending you only need to complete 2 (for example Claire A and Leon B)?
So shitty. Is it so much to ask for the benefits that come with limited saves design without making everything else way harder at the same time? 7 was especially bad since madhouse was clearly a mode designed for a second playthrough. I'd hoped they would have fixed this for RE2.
Torn between starting on Hard or Normal now because of the things I've heard. I love a nice challenge, but the things I've heard with how 1 zombie blow can get you in red makes it seem like it's for a 2nd play through. Perhaps the Special Editions weapons will give me a hand. I've survived TEW on hard, but this seems crazier.
Most important decision I have to make all week lol.

Guys.
Guys!
I'm not coping. I'm restless. I'm rattled. I'M A MESS! I need this game. I NEED THIS GAME SO BADLY IT HURTS!

No. I talked about this earlier in the thread and everywhere else. There's no more alternative storylines. There's just one streamlined approach and you play it from two dkfferent sides.
Does anyone know how much of a persistent presence MR. X is? If there is always a chance he will burst in a fuck you up, I think the exploration and flow of the game would really be impacted negatively (for me).
Damn that sounds Hardcore...
Lickers are going to be a huge pain if it's true
I played Nemesis but never RE2. Is there a certain order to do the campaign? Or it doesn't matter?
Haha. Well thats what I'm afraid of. I know gunshots don't slow him down much, so if he bursts through a door suddenly and starts marching toward you, Leon should have the option to shoot himself in the head..
Same as me. I want a good challenge, but it's mainly for the limited save mode. I wish there was a middle ground. 100 to 20% health sounds bullshit
Probably on Thursday, they sent them out one day before release day usually.
Do we still have any idea how the deluxe edition weapons work? How to obtain them and do they screw up the game balance?
Wow so awesome that's the kind of things I like!
Last question did the sprinkle any RE3 bits in it?
Getting back into gaming recently, I think I'll pick this up and play it on the projector Friday night
Can't wait! One of my most hyped games this year.
Capcom is back! Has the preload began for anyone else in the US for PS4?

Ugh that sounds so lame. Why can't we get ink ribbon saves on normal? Going for no save runs was fun as hell in REmake1. Now it sounds like you're not even expected to go for a no save run seeing as hardcore is so brutal. Is there a trophy for it?
Sucks so much. There's a real benefit to limited saves and the way that impacts the design and player behaviour with the tension that comes from it. There is absolutely no reason we shouldn't be able to have the benefit of that design but with a reasonable difficulty level. RE7 had the exact same problem and I'm honestly stunned they haven't learned from it.
Not that I know of outside of
A note to Claire from Jill if you consider that RE3 related (kinda?)
I know.Guys.

Having just played RE2 again today, the game floods you with ink ribbons, and there's always one at each typewriter just in case. 5 hours at a rather leisurely pace with nearly 30 ink ribbons to go through isn't all that limited. While they could have tightened that up considerably for a normal mode this go around, what was there before was more than forgiving that unlimited saves don't undermine the design of RE2.
