The layout of the RPD is still very good for me. It really improves on RE1 by being more logical for the player while limiting backtracking to a minimum.

That was always my thing. I still feel to this day it doesn't make much sense. Like I know it was a art museum prior. But it's just really odd compared to the Spencer mansion. Though I guess another aspect might be you technically needed to beat it 4 times to see it all.

RE2 and CVX are my lowest rated classic REs. I prefer 0 over both of them easily.

Just beat Claire A for the first time. Got a B and a 4:30 clear time, which sad to say, is a massive improvement on the last time I played the game and got like an E or something. Game is even better than I remembered it honestly, it's paced so so well. The back half especially improved, and while not as good as the RPD imo, is pretty dope in how much stuff it throws at you. The first half is all measured survival stuff and lonely atmospherics and then as soon as you go to the sewers the game goes all "You get a BOW! You get a BOW! Everyone gets a BOW!" With boss fights left and right. Good stuff. Gonna move on to Leon B shortly.

I really like the RPD layout but I wouldn't say it's an improvement over the mansion exactly. I think backtracking is pretty key for a survival horror game because that increases the tension and importance of knowing the map and where enemies and items are. But the more streamlined RPD map makes RE2 have that sublime pacing where you get some of that spencer mansion goodness but it's never as opressive as you're constantly breezing to new awesome setpieces along the way.

RE2 i'm not a fan of the layouts and the scenarios. Which is why i'm excited for the remake only having two campaigns.
As for CVX. I just never liked that game. The story is good. But the everything else is rough in that game. It's a downgrade from RE3 in most regards.

I will say looking back on RE0 with time has improved my feelings on it. It's not a bad game for having to come in as a prequel. Just that damn item system kills my ability to want to replay it (although it's on the list for replaying here pretty soon. Currently on RE7 again collecting statues and stuff).

It really is. I think this was one of the first, bigger cinematic games where I can remember really paying attention to how well paced it was. I didn't feel there was a wasted area.

Is it still considered that Claire A and Leon B is cannon for the original game?

Canon wad always mix of all 4 scenarios, but Claire A/ Leon B is closer to canon than Leon A/Claire B.

Deleted member 3010 · Jun 24, 2018

Ready for the remake.

Got extremely lucky though, I was in red-caution before the Ada heal and the Birkin fight where I got cornered for a moment.

HStallion · Jun 24, 2018

I've been playing the REmake on the PS4 and I hope we can get grenades in this game to shove into the mouths of zombies.

Yes. Sherry never gets infected in Leon A so for the canon of the franchise, Claire A makes the most sense.

Though for the remake they'll be dropping the A/B and both scenarios will cover most plot points.

I really hope they bring the alligator boss back. That was always an awesome standout moment in the game to me.

With what we've seen of the gore in the remake, imagine what it's going to look like when you shoot that gas tank.

One thing I really hope keep from Leon A is Ada's "death" scene. Compared to Leon B it just comes off as more tragic and emotionally charged than her death in that scenario.

Can they cut the giant spiders out of the game and just let me fight the giant alligator ten times or something.

Still a bummer that the alligators in RE5 were so one-note.

What's worse is RE Engine still can't be easily modded, so no Bear Replacement mod for us. ;-;

God the Spiders in Remake were so detailed I hate it. They can only look better in this game :(

I think issue is less the general layout (which has some odd corridor routes) & overall style, but the lack of police-station themed rooms & puzzles.

The large office on the ground floor if the east wing feels quite unique as a room in the series due to its size, multiple sub-areas and high zombie count, and the kind of thing that the title could have with with a few more of.

BreakAtmo · Jun 25, 2018

I really wonder how the reworked campaigns are going to function. In the original, the B scenarios weren't just side-stories, they continued on longer and contained the true endings, with the A runs ending early. Since they wanted you to be able to play as Leon or Claire from the start, that meant 4 scenarios. How will 2 campaigns that you can choose from even work in that way? Maybe they'll rewrite things so that the final part of the game has then teaming up using the CPU? So the main final boss battles are the same in both campaigns?

They'll probably rewrite things, but making Clair default to A and Leon to B will work fine too.

ChristopherDX · Jun 25, 2018

They really should just go full into RE3 while this team is together...

After that it's just code Veronica that needs a polish.

ChristopherDX · Jun 25, 2018

Also 0 was a good game but a trash story...

Before the mansion incident you explore...a fucking mansion couldn't they have come up with anything better?

I would have loved running in the Arklay forest or more involvement with the Bravo team. Totally wasted potential.

The combat knife works like the defense knives did now.
Works regularly but if you get grabbed you can jab it in them, however you have to pick it back up afterwards.

Talk About RE Zero. How far between train in the beginning,umbrella training facility and spencer mansion ?

Maximo · Jun 25, 2018

Fuck this looks so good RE4 was the first Resident Evil game I ever got into, the remake looks amazing and glad I get to experience the second this way.

Counter-point:

This was the beginning of the over-the-top action craziness modern RE became (in)famous of. RE3 was Classic RE but with a bit of "faster, more intense" approach.

you don't understand ... best RE scene ever

Nice. Claire's new outfit is very similar to the one in Rev2.

That's because her Revelations 2 outfit was inspirated by her RE2 concept art. So since they now used that outfit in RE2make both outfit looks very similar.

It's interesting to see that the helicopter didn't crash on the rooftop, which means...Claire and Leon are meeting up on the east wing staircase.

Yeah. Helicopter hit the crows corridor, not Irons's office.

Dark_Chris said:

I wonder if the Helipad will still be there. Also this means that Mr.X probably isn't going to appear on this area anymore.

Maybe going through the crow corridor to the helipad will change to allow to escape the RPD and into the city ? IF the game gives out new areas like the church we saw in the trailer.

I hope starting Claire's game is not a simple pallette swap with Leon for all the same scenarios.

I think this is what they might already be doing but I want both characters's campaigns to be separate in terms of how they start, reach the RPD etc. Like the whole game is now Leon A Claire B minus the zapping etc (and with both characters encountering the key plot points from RE2).

Hmm that's actually an interesting idea. Would be nice change in compare with the original.

Both campaigns are completelly diffferent, unique.

That's what I thought and I'm glad they're expanding on it.

I'm just as interested in seeing the back alleys of Raccoon being expanded as the front area before RPD like the new Gas Station area etc.

Well it's save to say, based on demo that Claire will spend a lot more time on the streets than Leon. I mean Leon is exploring RPD for good 30-45 minutes before even Claire reaches the station. I wouldn't be suprised if that church like area from trailer was exclusive area for Claire, that will be explored before RPD in her campaign.

Yeah. But I was actually thinking more about the fact that Claire is now wearing proper jeans which just looks so much better on her. Her Rev2 face model might look a bit wonky in certain angles, but in terms of the look they were going for I think it's the best one she's ever had, so I'm glad they're also basing the RE2R outfit on the same concept art even if it's not 100% identical to what they came up with for Rev2 (and it shouldn't be).

Agreed.

Dreamboum · Jun 25, 2018

Yeah RE2 and CV are commonly referred as the two best ones I think. RE3 fans comes from another planet, RE0 fans took the magic elevator

Resident Evil Survivor fans are the great sages of our world
