Resident Evil 2 |OT| 1998... I'll never forget it
- Thread starter Kindekuma
- Start date
All the major events are the same buta lot is different in between.
If you play RE2 98 it won't instantly make you a master at RE2 2019
Mr.X is the only enemy you can't kill, and he follows you for a small portion of the game. Hang in there. Sneak past lickers and pick your shots
Claire might as well be a side character compared to Leon in the series as a whole
I think with this new engine, the modern day love for online 4 player games(a la Destiny), the popularity of something like Dead By Daylight... a new Outbreak is very possible
Pretty sure there are some hacks in play. I ran into him on a dead end, and legged it away and down some stairs, and he appeared in front of me. No possible way he could have gotten there without either A) taking a LOT longer or B) coming past me.
There's trade-offs for both.
They both seem to have a native res of 1620p but reconstructed to 2160p. Xbox seems to have a much more aggressive anti-aliasing or post-process that gives it an overall softer (but less aliased/shimmery) image.
PS4 Pro has a sharper image but more aliasing/shimmer.
Xbox One X has very slightly better overall performance but in practice, they're pretty much identical in terms of framerate.
Have to pick poison: do you prefer slightly sharper-but-shimmery image with trophies (PS4) or slightly blurry but more consistent image quality with achievements (Xbox)?
I know it came first, but this remake's map is giving me some huge Bloodborne vibes in the best kind of way.
Not in RE2 though.
RE3 is about Jill being stalked by Nemesis as she tries to escape Raccoon City. Carlos is a supporting character akin to Shery or Ada in RE2 (although his role is bigger).
You're not supposed to kill most of the normal zombies. Just shoot them til you get a stagger/knockdown (typically 2 shots) then run past. There's more than enough ammo on every difficulty to kill all the non zombie enemies and still be comfortable on the bosses.
I think this game has about as much as the player should be able to do movement wise. The dodge stuff in RE3 was super janky and unpredictable.
finished fourth survivor a couple days ago, and on my first try to boot! gonna load it up today and try finishing a lot of other goodies and do a couple trophy runs before trying out hardcore.
they surpassed REmake

You actually can, the window is just hard
Late game boss in Claire A in the labs I finished without getting hit in Hardcore!
Really? I always thought the dodge was great! Very hard to master though for sure.
There are a lot of videogame opinions I don't understand, but not liking Mr. X is just nuts to me. The parts of the game where he's chasing you and you have to juke around him and lead him away from the areas you need to puzzle around in are the best in the game imo. Without Mr. X the game is basically just Gone Home for 90% of it lol.
So I'm doing Leon A this time and I had a weird glitch. I came back into the RPD after Mr.X shows up and I killed Marvin(R.I.P.)
Later I was making my way back towards the main hall and to my surprise, Marvin was sitting zombified on the couch! I had blown his head off before and here he was completely intact. I went up to him and he didn't move.
Later I come back into the main hall one last time and Marvin attacks me again, and I have to kill him for a second time(R.I.P)This didn't happen on my Claire A/Leon B. Anyone else encounter this glitch? Leon even repeated his dialogue towards Marvin as you kill him

Leon A done.
Mr. X was the best feature in the game by far, had an incredibly intense moment with him and that was the highlight of this game for me.
The beginning at the station was phenomenal but after that it went downhill fast, honestly, especially the second section (of 3) in the game.
Not looking forward to that in the Claire run.
1 and 4 are still my favorites by far.

I don't know about completely avoid, but you can absolutely minimise your interactions with him. Having finished a play through today, I definitely feel like he caused me less hassle than many on here. In hindsight he was a relatively small factor for me. I didn't die to him a single time and think he only "got me" twice.
He does in the Library, but I guess that's not really a puzzle.
You can very carefully and awkwardly position/move yourself to avoid being hit, yes, but it's very awkward combat design IMO. It feels like certain bosses are playing by Dark Souls rules, like they were dropped in from a Souls game, but the main character wasn't
Do the whole station then go to STARS room to take the battery

Can you navigate back to RPD from the sewers as soon as you pick up the sewer key? I want to go back to upgrade my slots before doing the section with the pegs and flame thrower as I think it needs quite a few spare inventory spaces.
Was hoping for a change up. Hopefully the DLC will give us some more unique content like areas and enemies.
Having played REmake twice last week before playing this, there is nothing in RE2 that is RE1 level.
Theres some occasional corny lines but overall the quality of the VA and characters is one of the more surprising aspects of RE2. REmakes dialogue and VA is an absolute riot. Just hilarious.
Are you playing as Claire? She basically calls it out right away.
It's obviously out of character to get Barry to come to Europe secretly
Claire straight up states
'That doesn't sound like Chris' when you find the letter - presumably it's either Umbrella/Irons covering up things, or Chris trying to start the BSAA and go off and do his own thing while throwing Umbrella off the scent
I feel like the line should have been delivered with a grim tone. Idk why after hearing a disturbing revelation Leon would say the line like a little kid playing detective.

Leon has a lot of bad line reads. All of Claire's were good. Nothing is RE1 level imo
Im on my second playthrough now and I feel so stupid for not examining all items properly the first time...
It was a great experience though, I had a lot of fun with the game.
(Except for mr X chasing you, which stressed the hell out of me).
I kept searching for that USB stick in order to access Lightning Eagle, but never found it... So I completed the game without ever using the magnum bullets I kept finding. Then I noticed now that the USB was on a certain item that I had all along.

Claire comments on that and says it doesn't sound like him at all.
Done with all four scenarios, took my time with Claire's 2nd Scenario though, opening all those lockers, finding the hidden treasure etc. all that stuff I missed during her first playthrough to see if you get something worthwhile. (Not really.)
Also, after Leon's 2nd Scenario I figured I was going to do the smart thing by just crafting grenades with the gunpowder and not even bother with handgun bullets, seeing as you'd have to deal with two handgun bullet pools then, however, all those acid grenades seemed pretty useless to be honest. I never really paid attention during my first playthrough as to which grenade is best for which situation but now the way I figured it is like this:
Flame grenades: Good against everything.
Acid grenades: Stuns enemies for a bit, as damage dealer practically useless though.
A whole lot of good those 30 acid grenades did during the Birkin fight, I used all of them on him until he finaly died. And they're not much more useful on regular enemies either.
