04 - The Sewers Uncut

Here's the re-uploaded version of episode 4 uncut.

Gnoman posted:

I played through this on launch and haven't touched it since the update, but I don't remember these scenes being nearly so dark.

I think the original lighting systems were totally overhauled for the ray tracing implementation, so now that the lighting is all handled dynamically, the game ends up overall quite a bit darker.

You don't seem to enjoy it enough to avoid being a rude dick to the friend of the guy providing it to you. To the point of continuing after Argate told you to knock it off.

The appropriate responses here would have been apologizing or backing down. These are silly internet videos about zombies that are totally cheating by using rocket launchers and flamethrowers, there's no reason for any of us to get ugly like that.

I'll be honest, I'm a little taken aback by how bafflingly defensive this response is to what was, let's face it, an extremely mild criticism?

Chew on that... you overgrown son of a bitch.

Maybe you posted that after watching update 2 or 3, but if you had watched 4 you'd notice CJ was absent. It felt a little lovely to see that sort of response after a video the man's not even in. Context matters.

At any rate, if we're gonna criticize, let's bash me for trying to say "open wide" and "open up" at the same time when Argate started taking down Hunter Gammas the fun way. Or how about me somehow missing an entire video's worth of opportunity to make a Pac-Man joke. Seriously, it was all I could think of while rewatching this update. Usually I'm mentally making the jokes that the me in the video then immediately makes

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
It's interesting that Jill manages to survive, by this point, counting RE1 & 3, about 100 zombie bites, and innumerable explosions, scrapes, cuts, burns and a lot of plain blunt force trauma. But one spiky tendril in the arm, and that's what takes her out. Sure, you could argue that canonically she never gets bitten by a zombie, but that seems rather minor comparatively.

Just typing that out now, it's surprising how few bite victims we see in these games turn into full zombies. In 2 we see the cop, bitten by Brad, who here in 3 is bitten in the first few minutes. But most of the other games, most of the victims we get to see just end up as food, and not actually turned "on screen". I mean in the first zombie encounter in the series, the guy getting eaten never gets back up, right?

Also, sorry if it was mentioned, but are there any plans to show off any of those DLC items that are stored away?

I only recall two times in the entire series where you see someone go from living to zombie (not counting Brad, who we see as alive and as a zombie, but we don't see the transition) - Marvin and the unnamed truck driver that slams into Leon and Claire early in 2. It is made pretty explicit in the original version of 2 (I don't remember the remake as well) that the primary vector of the outbreak was rats, not zombie bites.

Oh those aren't DLC items but unlockables you earn for finishing the game under specific conditions, I believe Capcom released a DLC key that unlocks them so you don't need to do the terror of S ranking the game's hardest difficulty for some of them.

To answer the question though, yes, I will be showing off some of the unlockables in a bonus video after the campaign.

I thought I remembered there being a thing where Jill and other protags were resistant/immune by some genetic thing to the normal viruses, but that Nemesis had some sort of weird super-virus, or something. I'm not an RE scholar by any means, however, so I could be completely wrong.

That's speculation based on observed phenomena. Jill herself thinks as much based on her notes at the start of this game.

It's weird what they decided to keep vs take out. It's been a dog's age since I played RE3 classic but I was disappointed they took out the branching paths, I remember them absolutely blowing my mind back in the day. Especially after they kept the A/B scenarios for 2, it was a real letdown

At least they gave Jill some at least vaguely sensible clothes in this one

People die when they are in the hospital.
Those Hunters are super tanky for some reason. Probably to cut down on having too many on screen at once. Would have been old school to get set up with a swipe and then lose a head.

I like the hospital section a lot, it's a nice version of the puzzle box area design that's a fun level of difficulty without hitting my aggravation point. It's also where I start becoming much less familiar with the game, because I'll start a lot of playthroughs and then just poop out around the boss fight that takes Jill out. I should really just keep a save file after that.

It's also fun because Carlos is just great to play as, I wish there was more of him. Was there more Carlos material cut from the original game, or was that all Jill stuff?

IIRC Carlos got a lot more play time in this remake. RPD as Carlos was new and the hospital part is pretty big compared to the original.

Carlos actually got more content as he never went to the RPD in the original, just the hospital to get the cure for Jill after she was attacked, funnily enough the clock tower interior being cut meant Carlos had to carry an unconscious Jill half way across the city instead of keeping her in a room at the clock tower.

So for that first hunter fight, you're in such close quarters that you basically have to get the dodge/counter timing down or otherwise pop some herbs every 10 seconds?

Kinda, yeah! I think if you had a grenade, you'd be fine with that too, but those hunters are mean!

The timing for the punch is a bit tricky against hunters but I think its around the time when they raise their hand above their head because swipe itself is so fast.

Are you guys going to talk about the higher difficulties at some point because boy there's some bullshit there that even some speedrunners hate.

You're thinking of RE5! She's always been a brunette up until, uh, things happen to her between games and she's suddenly blonde in 5.
