Could have swore my PS4 screamed "STAAARRRRSSS" from its cooling fan.
For me I did first save outside of sub station where you turn the fuses on
(right before you go back and nemesis busts through the wall).
The rest of the saves were before boss fights. Definitely make a save before the final boss. It is hit or miss if you will survive with his stunlock lol... he pounds the ground like 5 times. If he gets you once, good luck. The reason I made my first save where I did was so I could skip the annoying intro. If you die, you have to redo most of it. There are two really unfair zombies that are a 1 shot death pretty much.
Edit: oh, I misread as Inferno lol.
It wasn't impossible at the beginning in the original so much as the best way to do it was to get him stuck on invisible barriers and then unload on him, repositioning as necessary.
Raccoon City is so beautiful in HDR. It really is a shame that it is so small. One more larger section in the middle of the game would have been really, really nice.
I still love the game! I hope it sells nearly as well as RE2make... definitive editions for these two games with added/redone content and ray tracing would be 🤤

He's just a nuisance stalker that is easy to mange, what kind of threat is that?
It is true, imo, the escalating fast pace evolution sold the idea of a threat far more than protracted stalking sequences ever could.
I think it still feels large, I think RE3 remake is meant to be a more realistic (or cinematic) chaos / escape ASAP / keep moving forward kind of situation. I think it would become flabby if there was more to explore.
I would welcome however a remake of Outbreak in order to see larger portions of the city.
I'm watching this one dude, Trance or something, get destroyed doing this on Inferno. That shit looks like no joke. I can't imagine a no save run. Doesn't seem possible right now.
I finished my normal playthrough on nightmare, took quite a few attempts and both defense coins but I beat that son of a bitch. Now I'm doing an S rank runk on nightmare using all the coins, extra pouches, and the infinite assault rifle. Should be a breeze until the final boss. :|
One thing I've learned from watching speed runs and hard mode clears over the years is... some of these people will do the most insane shit and make it look like assisted mode. Be interesting to see hos this one pans out.
Just to answer the first 2 questions.
1. Magnum works really well against them.
2. Acid rounds are great against the armored hunters, the one that start spawning from the hospital and later on. There's a file or an ingame tip about it, but basically, a single round will eat through them.

I found some more info.
Do you have any information about that? I know there's a hack streamers use to keep track of health pools, but they vary wildly and damage is defense-based.
I'm trying to do this right now on Inferno, so far only made it past the substation.
I believe I had taken my information from Carcinogen, but that was around the time the game came out. It's possible either that I am misremembering, or that the info I came across was inaccurate.
Nemesis in this game was way too weak. He was really dumb in this game and way less threatening.
The original ambushed you, predicted your movements and even had a personality. Shoot him with a shotgun aand he will start sprinting after you. You also had sequences where he would camp on a building and snipe you from thwre withh his bazooka.
First time I encountered him in the remake I didn't feel intimidated by him unlike the original where if you don't know what tou are doing you will gett turned into a sandwich.
He is more like the tyrant at the end of RE1 or G in that he is so damn incompetent.
Mr X takes the crown when it comes to the remake series. Original Nemesis is Mr X on steroids abd it sucks the remake version pales in comparison.

I personally found it was quicker to down zombies with, as long as you hit the shots.
Finished Nightmare and went into Inferno. Finally had enough points for the rocket launcher and thought it's going tob e a cakewalk but nope, it's brutal, especially if you're trying to get the S rank. I have to redo 3 areas because Nemmy comboed me to death and I didn't save (no auto saves on Inferno). Whoops!
S rank Inferno is gonna require some strategizing for which saves to use. I feel like the first half of the game is more of a crapshoot than the back half, mostly because of chase scenes, that can go horribly wrong very quickly on Inferno.
edit: haha, we're on the same page mudai
Made my first save before the spiders.
Made the second one before the flame thrower boss, and I'm struggling with the rocket launcher pursuit. I should have made my second save at Kendo's tbh.

They make dodging look so easy. Good news (imo) is that they can't rely on the knife this time so it's interesting to see their boss strategies.
Can you use infinite ammo weapons to unlock Nightmare difficulty? I'm asking because there were some score restrictions when using infinite ammo weapons in RE2, if I remember correctly.
Yeah, the rocket launcher doesnt do shit to him in Inferno. I learned that the hard way when I tried to down him after the spiders and he kept side stepping and comboed me to death. Had to redo the spiders.
Ugh, pretty sure I went into that room, I must have just missed whatever file or clue was in there. Oh well, I'll get it next time.
Weird, I smacked the hunters in the specimen hallway fight with acid rounds and it didn't seem to do much to them. Might not have realized it. I ended up taking them out with explosive rounds pretty easily. Grenades still seem like the best way to take out hunters (it was generally a one shot in Carlos's section) but they're pretty rare for Jill by the end of the game.
Only rank restrictions in this one are time played and number of saves. The rest is fair game.
If nothing else, this game has my favorite OST of the whole series. This end credits confirmed it when it started playing.
To get S you need what? Finish under 2 hours and 3 saves maximum?
For inferno, it is under 2 hours and 5 saves max. Think it is 5 saves max for all modes. Most modes are 2 hours, hardcore is 1:45 min.
Bear in mind, it's a slow burn, it's not instant but it definitely works.
S Rank for Normal is also 5 saves and 1:45. A rank is 1:45. B Rank is 4:00.
I just finished the game, midway through my second run but I've been digesting all of it during the night.
First off I'd like to say that I liked the game, I mean it's solid by itself.
By the time I was going downstairs with Jill in the hospital it hit me like a truck though. "Wait a fucking minutes, a lab? That's it?". And yeah, a few minutes later it pretty much was fucking it.
Compared to RE2 last year this one is a massively inferior rendition of the original game. No R.P.D. run with Jill as Nemesis follows you, no Clock Tower, no Grave Digger, Resistance exists at the expense of the very first Mercenaries Mode which should've been celebrated instead of slashed.
And most importantly, Nemesis is such less a menace than what I anticipated, the devs building up the hype for him and the demo giving a strong impression of his pursuits. I absolutely loved how Mr.X was handled in RE2 and the uses of Nemesis are exclusive to setpieces similar to the second half of RE2 which left me with a bitter feeling in the end. I thought he was going to be some sort of permanent threat, but not this way.
It's still good, just very disappointing from a 90's fan's POV. It could've been so much better than that and that's what pisses me off the most honestly, the wasted potential. It almost felt rushed from that perpective.
The ending was pretty good though, the expanded hospital as well.

Tried a few games yesterday. Wasn't feeling it sadly but mayb I'll try again some time.
Finished the main story twice now. Not a bad game, I only wish they had a few more city sections with Nemesis stalking you. Favourite part of the game.
It doesn't work with some attacks, but others you have time to recover with that.
But you just have to learn the timing of all his attacks in the end. They all can be dodged reliably.
Can you down Nemesis when you're running away from him during the part where he shows his flamethrower? I've tried to but it's so difficult since the flames prevent me from doing anything.

Wow I never knew you could do that...
On my PC everything loads so fast so I dont get a chance to read the loading screens.
You need to just run away.
And for the boss fight, if you wanna know.
You need to shoot the fuel tank. Then after it explodes you need to shoot Nemesis itself.
Probably not as this leads to a boss fight and the fire blocks the way back
Thank you. I downed Nemesis the first 2 times and he dropped some good stuff. I assume there's no point in doing it here since a showdown's gonna happen soon anyway.
So if you buy the bolt cutter and lockpick from the store, what happens if you throw them away after they're no longer needed? Will they be in the item box again in every new game, or are they gone for good?
Also really not sure which items I should buy from the shop. I already got the S.T.A.R.S costume for Jill and have about 30k points to spare. Just finished the game on Normal, so Hardcore is obviously next. Anything in particular that would make the second run even more fun to play? Defense coins seem reasonable, considering that you lose your energy fast even in Normal mode.

When do the store purchased hip pouches become available?
Edit: Nevermind. Found it. I ran right by it.
