How did this smug dummkopf ever make general?

Actually, there was some information about the RE 2 Remake that just leaked out onto the net today:


- In order to better align the character with the following games in the series, 85% of Leon's dialogue has been removed from the game and the standard issue uniform for all RCPD members has been changed to a leather motorcycle jacket with popped collar.

- Due to Resident Evil 5's superior sales figures, Claire Redfield has been completely removed from the game and Chris Redfield will be used instead. The overall plot of the game will not be altered by this change in any way, except for the sewer section where Chris will have the option of exploding the giant crocodile's head with an upper cut instead of the gas tank.

- In order to facilitate the re-use of assets from previous titles, the RCPD building will now be built inside a luxury cruise ship that became beached in the center of Raccoon City.

Bullshit. They're replacing Leon with Ethan, since he has the most iconic lines in the entire series, and they're making it as the newest entry into the Survivor series.

No kidding. Getting tired of being disappointed every time I see there's new replies to this thread and its just the same old same old.

Unrelated, but what is a better co-op experience? RE5, RE6, or comedy option Operation Raccoon City?

Both 5 & 6 are full of good times in co-op, although they're also both guilty of some really annoying cutscene interruptions at times. QTE's plague many RE5 cutscenes. RE6 Mercenaries No Mercy is the best post-campaign* co-op reward in the entire series.

Operation Non-Canon is fuckin' retarded but at the same time weirdly irresistable if you have a full set of players. It's also mercifully short so it manages to end just as things start to get a bit too dumb.

*Doesn't actually require you to finish any of the campaigns. Not available on PS3/X360. PC version also gives the option for L4D2 stuff thrown in for comic effect.

End of Zoe was definitely way more enjoyable than people give it credit for, to me at least. Joe rules and it was delightfully ridiculous. Getting the fist at the end was pretty great, but some of the fun is taken away by yet another terrible Jack boss fight Although the head smash at the end was awesome.

One thing I'm super confused about is all the bitching about the alligators. I remember someone saying they hated them more than any enemy in a video game. I don't think one ever got within 20 feet of me. They seemed like a total non threat.

They're utterly awful if you go for the Trophy to not kill them, and basically don't exist if you're not and just spear them. Neither is at all satisfying to do IMO.

Playing through RE7 again and I feel like I really have a love/hate relationship with the boss fights in this game. Pretty much every one of them except the first Jack fight (which is awesome) is just miserably unfun, but then I finish it and I'm like eh, that was pretty cool. They aren't even that hard. They are just super aggravating.


I think it get's compounded by VR because the game is hard to manage up close and most of the bosses get right up in your craw. Doesn't help that I can't smooth turn without getting woozy.

Jacks fights overall aren’t bad (third can be slog if his last eye is well hidden) but I can’t stand Marguerite’s fight at all. Constant rage inducer and the main reason I don’t play Ethan Must Die.

If any of you are into randomizers, one of my friends released an alpha version of one today for REmake HD Remaster on PC. Currently you can only play as Chris on Normal to have it function, but he's planning to get the other difficulties and Jill playable in the future.

A shame we aren't getting more of Jake or anything related to 6 in the near future most likely, because i would pay real money for RE8 to have the complexity of 6's melee system with the gameplay of this.

I just finished the HD Remake but I think I had some sort bug.

I one-shot the Tyrant off-screen using Barry's special magnum. I never blew up the mansion and the Tyrant didn't show up at the helicopter pad..

Is the mansion thing a change they made in the HD edition or are there a ton of different endings??

In this heated gun control debate it's always "AR-15 AR-15" blah blah, but no one ever brings up Barry's Special Magnum which kills stuff so dead that you can't finish the game.

There are a considerable number of endings. Most are just small changes. One of them is what you got, no final Tyrant fight.

I thought I had done something incredibly wrong when I got that ending back when RE first came out. My brother was talking about the mansion exploding and a final battle on the roof and stuff. I on the other hand was saying there wasn’t a countdown, nothing exploded, and I just got in the helicopter. Then you see Tyrant’s shadow in the woods.

After about twenty minutes of arguing, we fired up the PlayStation loaded his last save, watched it, then loaded up my save. I remember he looked at me and asked ‘What did you do?’

I think you get that ending if Barry or Rebecca gets killed, since they’re not around to hit the self-destruct.

ZogrimAteMyHamster

So I'm pretty much 20 years late on this one, but I wish RE2 had different endings depending on what you did during each scenario*, or at least had different cutscenes and events during any given run based on which routes or fetch-quests you go for first. As great as RE2 is, I always felt (very) vaguely disappointed as a kid when subsequent playthroughs all panned out identically regardless of how much fooling around I'd waste time with. In hindsight and with all the hype during development it's obvious that Capcom were very confident in RE2 selling millions of units and that sequels were already being planned, so any ambiguity with characters living/dying went right out the window (sort of, looking at you Ada).

Ah well, maybe the upcoming remake will offer some silly stuff like this, even if it's just trivial poo poo like initially encountering Ada/Sherry in a few different rooms.


*Ultimately we'd have been limited to the survival/death of the secondary characters of course, but that's still better than nothing.


Also, anyone who deliberately lets Barry die in the orginal RE is a shithead.

Barry was obviously trying to betray me. He was colluding with Wesker in Room 102 and he left me to die in a pit with Lisa. I didn't give him his magnum back and I have NO regrets.

When I was a dumb kid who played RE1 on the PS1 years ago, I left Barry to die simply because I didn't trust him and I somehow misread the scene where you drop down after killing the giant snake as him intentionally trapping you down there so I never bothered waiting for him to return with a rope. Probably also because his lovely voice acting made him seem more sinister than he actually was.

I've never let him die in REmake though and it's also less obtuse to save him in REmake to boot.
