Resident Evil

I just started REmake, got hugged by the first dude, let a dog from the front door in and get hugged again by the second dude after you get the dagger.

Any tips? I feel like picking the top option for what I assume was the difficulty selection was a mistake, I have no idea what I'm doing.

git gud

RE is not exactly a deep and complicated game. Run past what you can, shoot what you can't, burn what you shoot unless it's in a room you aren't going to return to.

play as Jill, opt 2d controls, suck less

is there some secret tech for shooting or do I just sim and mash shoot? how do I know if I'm going back to certain rooms?

there were controls option asking me if I want Alternative or Original, is that what you're talking about? I'm also playing as Chris but I guess I can reset since I'm already fucked

Jill has two more item boxes and a lockpick, which opens various drawers and sometimes doors.

She negates some of the tedium, especially on a first playthrough. The alternative controls allow for more mobility (although sometimes you'll probably spaz out due to the camera switching. Just keep holding on the direction you're walking, let go, and then re-allign). I would advise to start over.

Original controls, alternative are fucking cancer.
Play as Jill first.

You are supposed to suck and struggle a lot in the initial hour or so, thats the fun of a blind run.

>Telling anyone to use the retarded game-breaking alternate controls

Even Silent Hill changed the tank controls to the more sensible 2d layout past the first game. There is no need to handicap oneself with rigid controls if the option is available. Suck a dick.

First of all - you are retarded and should consider killing yourself.

That out of the way, Silent Hill is actually designed and developed around both of the control schemes, and none feel out of the palce. If you select the so-called 3d scheme there is a bit of clunk, a bit of lag and time required for your character to start accelerating and running. Game is actually developed for that.

Meanwhile REmake was completely designed around tank controls and shitty """alternative""" controls are tackled on in the end and they feel like a cheap trainer instead of a polished gameplay mechanic.

You probably play the game in widescreen mode too. Again, strong recommendation that you kill yourself and prevent from giving people horrible advice any longer.

You ''purists'' are fucking cancer, but mostly to yourselves. The melodrama you bloat up for a sliver of more convenience or streamlining of the game experience is beyond pathetic.

Sorry you are too much of a brainlet to understand fucking game design. Might as well use a hack for no damage or something at that point, or unlimited ammo, since its more convenient and streamlines the experience.

Again, kill yourself. Seriously.

this

I just reset the game and now I'm using Jill with 4:3 aspect ratio and tank controls, thanks guys. Kinda weird that you have Barry telling you what to do but Chris was all alone.

>You probably play the game in widescreen mode too

Anyone that isn't an idiot does.

How to play REmake
>Realize that what key is needed to open what door isnt fucking labeled on the map after attempting to open it like any sane human design
>Become frustrated as fuck as you cant remember what doors you need to open to drop your stupid keys so they stop clogging up your inventory
>Get eaten by a crimsonhead

They're all overrated trash. They're cool at first but become tedious and boring. Everything you do is a puzzle even to open a stupid fucking door. Not even scary or creepy

fuck this is spookier than I thought it would be

Sounds like you're just a retard who doesn't pay attention

Chris also has fewer inventory slots but can take a more damage

Chris and Jill were the original game's Hard and Easy

With REmake (and REmaster) they added actually difficulty along with the original set-up

how the fuck do these zombo fucks work I shot the first one thrice and it dropped dead but this other dude took 6 bullets, played dead and chased me right back

>alternative are fucking cancer.
Not at all, they are absolutely much better than the original tank controls.

Think of it as a range. For example, let's say it takes 3–8 handgun shots to kill a zombie, meaning some will go down in three, some in five, some in eight.

Apply this to all enemies and weapons. The idea is that you can't know for certain how much of a given resource killing an enemy will consume, making each kill a careful decision based on your available resources versus the benefit of removing the enemy

It's easier if you just don't play the shit game

Jill's way better for a first run because of what she gets. Barry helps you out in certain situations, the lockpick skips over some exploration, the extra 2 inventory slots are a big deal, and the grenade launcher is excellent.

There are some tricks for getting past zombies, which you generally want to do unless it's an important area like a hallway you go through often or near a save room.
The more difficult trick would be getting zombies to miss their lunge and running past them. If you use alternate controls this is really easy because of your improved mobility.
The easier trick that's useful for smaller hallways is to lure zombies over to 1 side and then move around them whenever possible.

Health and headshots are random. Headshots will 1-shot enemies with no chance for them to come back as a crimson head, but are completely random and low chance with the handgun. With the shotgun you can greatly increase your chance to headshot by pointing the gun up at their face when they get really close, like mid-lunge.

You can bait zombies to lunge at you and give you an opportunity to run past a lot of them.
Don't forget to burn the zombies you do kill
You can get past everything in the residence with only one bullet. Use the self defense gun you get there to kill the one zombie blocking your path to the basement. That is literally the only shot you need there.
You can skip the boss in the Residence with Jill.
Save all your shotgun shells for Hunters.
Save all your magnum and/or grenade rounds for the final fight.

It's mostly just about ammo conservation. Even on harder difficulties (I usually play on Hard) it's really not too difficult as long as you know how to bait and dodge.

is it okay if I just kill them? I've wasted like 10 bullets so far and killed 2 out of 3. I know they can come back to life evolved but I don't know the specifics. I'm playing on what I assume is normal.

The specifics are that any zombie you kill, regardless of difficulty, will eventually come back to life in a form that is much faster, much more aggressive, and much deadlier. On a first playthrough you will most likely have trouble with them.

It is highly recommended that you burn the bodies of those you do kill with kerosene, which is a limited resource so bear that in mind.

If a zombie's head explodes it won't get back up, ever. You can also stop them getting back up by blowing out their kneecaps with a shotgun.

How am I supposed to kill that green thing in bathroom?

>I feel like picking the top option for what I assume was the difficulty selection was a mistake
You do know that's merely the "Normal" mode?
The HD re-release added the mega-casual "Very Easy" to the game, which's the lowest.

>I have no idea what I'm doing
a typical specimen of GenZ casuals, I see.
It's quite embarrassing to see grown people have problems playing a game meant for 10 year olds.

Can your generation even play videogames without someone holding their hand all the time?

>Any tips?
Only kill enemies in areas that you anticipate traveling through multiple times.
Get good at dodging. Zombies have 2 behaviors: they'll either grab too early, or grab to late. If they're the former, walk up to them and quickly back away, then run by them as they recover. If they're the latter, just run by them and they'll miss.
You can tell if they're the latter because they won't try to grab you until they're right in your face.
Also, zombies cannot grab you on stairs (or any incline, really), only vomit, so you can run right by them.

That thing didn't die after 8 shotgun and 20 handgun shots and two molotov
fuck off

>and two molotov
the what now?

>actually trying to kill the plant
sweet jesus you are pathetic

He's spawned and blocking the hallway from the projector to the main hall.I can't do anything about it but kill it
Shit game

>blocking the hallway from the projector to the main hall
...you sure you're playing RE1 ?

Yes, Rebecca Chambers and that thug named Billy I think

You're playing Resi Zero you complete fucking spastic

Jesus

Mountain Climbing, which is the difficulty at the top of the list, is actually normal.

Killing zombies is a use of resources, and never using your resources is as much of a waste as spending them on something pointless. If you think there's something to gain by killing a zombie, definitely go for it, just remember to make sure it can't get back up if you don't want to deal with it later. You don't waste ammo by killing enemies, you waste ammo by shooting things you don't plan on killing, or killing things for no good reason.

Whatever it's still bullshit

Unless you're talking about re0 there are no molotovs. If you are talking about 0, 2 molotovs are in fact sufficient for killing the "green thing." You're talking about the one with stretchy arms, right?
If you can't fight them, don't. You're not planning on revisiting the bathroom, so why clear it out?

You are so fucking underage it hurts. Seriously, get checked out, you are badly fucking monged up.

>It's the game's fault that I'm literally an imbecile who doesn't even know what game I'm playing

re0 is sick, you can't really hoard ammunition like in remake. To bad the item management is so annoying most of the time.

OP must be a fucking downy or under the age of 15. I beat the original in '96, when i was fucking 9, as Chris for my very first playthrough.

This new generation of gamers are fucking retarded....

you tell 'em, fellow gamer

Post 140 rajang solo big guy

>This new generation of gamers are fucking retarded
Don't blame them, it's because they've only been exposed games where you kill everyone and wait for health to regen. We've gotten to a point where 2d is considered niche.
It's basically programmed them this way.

what

then are the two other options easy and babby mode?

Yes, they're easy and very easy. Once you beat the game once, you'll get the standard easy normal hard list.

Contrary to the original game, in REmake (at least on Normal difficulty), you don't have enough bullets to kill everything. So you have to dodge stuff that's not in your way. IIRC, there's like 4 or 5 zombies that are completely in your way - in the whole game. What I usually did was only kill stuff that was near a save room, or zombies in a hall that I was going through multiple times.

Shoot in the head, it's not that hard. Even if you point the gun in their head it's not always works, it's random. Always better than waste a clip for a zombie.

Don't worry, this confuses everyone at least once. Yeah, they're easy and very easy. Either way, "Normal" in REmake is already harder than the original. The biggest difference you'll feel from the get-go (if you played the original) is that zombies are much stronger in REmake. Just ONE bite will put you in Caution, no matter how fast you mash the buttons.

When you enter a room, the game randomly assigns a random health value to each zombie in that room. So you can kill a zombie in 5 shots, while the zombie right next to him takes 12.
Hell, at least they only get up once. In the original they could get up at least twice - sometimes you wasted 12 bullets to take one down (although there were way more bullets back then).

Anyway, just dodge whatever is not in your way.

I’ve read somwhere it’s more effective to shoot their knees, game detects this as headshot.
