Green herb, eh? The jokes write themselves to the point I feel this is hugely intentional.

That is the most weed looking non-weed I've seen in a game.

There will be an hour long thing with several hardcore RE fans in 2 hours and 45 minutes from now on the same Twitch account btw (there's also a Mega Man 11 thing between now and then if anyone interested in that).

The new things seen in that stream were cool. I'm making a gif off that first shotgun blast they did, no question.

Do it...Do it...!

That shotgun blast was insane. And the gory body deformation is incredible, almost too much for me lol

Also, if you have to watch a gameplay video, watch this one. It goes pretty much everywhere except the library. The dude plays well and doesn't waste time around. Lots of cool stuff there

So with the RPD being redesigned and expanded....

Will the S.T.A.R.S. office be expanded enough for Alpha and Bravo team?....

Like people suspected, the Police Station now has three floors.

Relevant information from the stream.

- You can save without ink ribbons but higher difficulty options will let you use ink ribbons for limited saves like traditional old RE games.
- Besides the initial load or dying, there is no load screen in the game. Entirely seamless experience. No classic door animations.
- Bite marks are persistent on Leon's neck (maybe until the next time you use a herb ?)
- Limb destruction is in. You can shoot off parts off zombies/dead bodies.
- Adding new areas to explore before reaching the RPD. Even the RPD has new areas added to explore (a new third floor we've seen in shots)
- Classic items like film rolls and themed keys (Spade/club etc) spotted in stream.
- The shotgun blast is fucking SICK. Tore off half of a zombie's face.
- Wooden boards can be used to board up windows to stop zombies from coming in. Boards are limited.
- Capcom is still adjusting the difficulty levels for the game. Aim is to provide intense combat/gameplay feel against brutal/strong zombies.
- Stopping while aiming is recommend for 'easy aiming'. Walking + shooting is present but incurs drastic aiming penalties.
- Health indicator pops up during game play, not exclusive to visiting the item menu.
- Defence items can be retrieved from Zombie corpses.
- Claire seems to enter the RPD from the opposite side.
This just keeps on getting better and better.

I enjoyed that run through on the Capcom stream. I want to rewatch it but I don't want to spoil so much of that section of the game. (And I has a statistics test to study for. >_<)

Edit: Oh yeah, I'm totally going to play on the difficulty that requires ink ribbons. Can't wait!

I am so glad to learn that ink ribbons are returning. Do we know who the director is yet? Also, is quick turn returning? Haven't seen Leon do that yet.

It's absolutely insane how they managed to make it look so cramped and claustrophobic in an over the shoulder view.

Lighting and character movement do wonders.

The body destruction stuff in this game is pretty fascinating. Really brings out the rotting flesh factor of the zombies.

I haven't watched the stream yet so I don't know if they brought it up, but I hope it applies in some way to other enemies as well.

Hope the ink ribbons aren't tied exclusively to the hardest difficulty. Would love to have that first playthrough but not if it's Madhouse tier.

I'm hoping the game has four difficulties unlike RE7's three. I think RE7 would've benefited from a difficulty between Normal and Madhouse, so I'm hoping REmake 2 has a regular Hard difficulty with ink ribbons and maybe a few difficulty shifts up before a special difficulty with remixed elements.

Not sure how I feel about the button prompts and icons. Wonder if you can turn that off.

You almost certainly can turn them off, you could in RE7 as well.

Real question....

Would you prefer a fixed camera for this game similar to the previous one or a moveable camera like it has?

I'm asking because I've seen 2 people saying they want a fixed camera instead.

My personal preference is for a fixed camera, but I don't have any problems with the one they've gone with.

I was really into fixed camera but seeing this now, especially with the unprecedented amount of body destruction, I really don't care anymore at all.

This has to be some of the most detailed damage to enemies ever, no?

Same. I had some concerns regarding OTS camera, but I'm impressed with how they've decided to tackle it for this game. For instance, the accuracy actually takes a hit while Leon is moving, I really like that.

I still see a fully functional zombie, who may possibility still be mobile. Missing the resident evil head pop.
For the record, zombie head popping is still in.

That just apparently wasn't the shot for it, but did still do something quite visceral. He might get back up, later in the stream he does some other shotgun blasts (not at the head though) which has the zombie getting up.

I know it's too soon to say this, but Leon's reactions and the stuff he says is really impressive. I never really thought of RE as a franchise with intriguing writing or character presentation, this game might change that.
