I've never played this game. Holy shit it's a lot harder than I expected it to be.

I've only ever played RE4 (which I've been playing for years since it first came out on Gamecube).

I'm surprisingly susceptible to the jump scares in this one, and I'm enjoying being very careful and conservative of ammo giving the game a real survival horror feeling, but now the Mansion is empty and I can't find any doors that can be unlocked so I've been running around aimlessly for a few hours with awful controls.

Is there any way to get the shotgun off the wall this early? Am I just being unobservant or will it become clear later on?

I grab it off the wall, the lack of weight causes a switch to rise, and the ceiling crushes you slowly in the only exiting room.

I can put it back and survive, but can't get out of the room in my hands.

Spoiler: Barry saves Jill. He breaks open the door.

You can find a broken shotgun and solve the puzzle properly, and you are required to do that as Chris.

Anyway, definitely be more thorough. Are you using the lockpick? You're carrying it with you, right?

[NESfag No.1049561]

>>1049550
It depends which way you go first. If you don't get there RIGHT after you leave Barry in the hall then he won't help you there.

Or, more like, if you don't go there before you meet him again in the hall (where he gives you grenade launcher ammo) then he won't help you.

OP, on the west side of the mansion (ground floor) there is a room with a broken shotgun. That will help you get the real one.

If you're stuck OP that means you need to solve the puzzles to get the crests to open the backdoor. There are 4 crests to find.

Jill's and Chris's scenarios are somewhat different. They have the same mansions, enemies and bosses, of course, but their routes across the mansion are entirely different.

While we're on that note, RE1 >>>>>>>>>>>> RE2.
2 was great, but compared to 1 it's just an ordinary clunky action game. 1 was a fucking masterpiece of comedy, suspense and survival horror gameplay. 2 was just shootan and silly melodrama.

Did you get all of the crests yet? (Sun, Wind, Moon, Star) One is usually obtained from the painting gallery puzzle (from beginning to life to "end of life") The story unfolds pretty quick once you've gotten the crests and made it outside.

Jill has a less HP than Chris which means hat it's much easier to die especially against bosses. It's not as easier as you make it out to be, just a bit easier. The Shotgun is only early and "free" if you go there right away.

It's very easy to miss it.
You can go in 3 directions : upstairs west, upstairs east, downstairs east.
Once you go around and come back Barry will be back in the hall (and from then won't help you with the shotgun).
So basically, he only helps you if you go downstairs/east FIRST + actually go in the room + actually pick up the shotgun.

There are quite a few other missable moments like this, as interactions between characters, that change or are missable. I was never able to meet Rebecca in the small library room where a hunter attacks her until YEARS later. I was also never able to save Barryuntil many playthroughs as well who would have thought of actually WAITING for him?!

Yes it was. It was meant to be B horror movie. The intent was to disturb with gore and to scare. They used cheap actors because of budget and also because they WANTED to have this kind of B acting and voice-acting.
Early japanese video game voice acting sounds as weird as it does because, back then, the Japs had a very clear and "japanized" way of speaking English in mind which isn't native english at all; not because they wanted to create comedy.
Tons of other game of the time with voice acting had similar VA quality regardless of genre.

Red gem is acquired later (it's in one of them rooms locked by the helmet key).

Are you played Advanced/Arranged mode?

If so, there's half of one after fighting the giant snake and another half in another one of the second story rooms. Then, another in the room with the knight statues (you'll need the armor key for this room).

Are you sure you've explored everything? Dressers too (Jill has a lockpick)? Did you kill the giant weed in the fountain surrounded by herbs? There's a bag of insecticide somewhere; 'use' it on the pump.

Yes but it also has a smaller screen and the PSP does no smoothing or filtering whatsoever unlike the PS2. DPI (Dots Per Inch) and resolution are both important when it comes to how much detail something can show. The DPI of a PSP is several times that of a CRT television, which means that certain graphics will be smaller and thus more difficult to see.

Some items are "invisible" but they'll be hidden in obvious places such as a bookcase or a shelf.
The only invisible item that's not obvious is a Beretta clip which is only in the PC version of the game, at the back of the lab room where you fight the Tyrant, probably a funny hint given by the developers of the port to hint at how you can actually kill the Tyrant in under 15 beretta bullets

RE2 has much more of invisible hidden ammo a bit everywhere though.

[Anonymous No.1050010]

It can be a tough game, if you allow it to be. You've got to manage your herbs and ammunition properly or you'll be forced to run away from practically everything and everyone.

Jill's campaign is a lot easier than Chris's, but that's because she's got bigger inventory space, and I believe the lock pick makes a few things easier.

[Anonymous No.1050180]

Remember that if you're lost or confused to always check your map for locked doors or rooms with items in them (I forget if RE1 indicates on the map rooms with items inside them).

If you know anything about REmake the triggers for events and the order of events are different and sometimes completely flipped. The biggest example is V-Jolt since in RE1 it's detrimental if you do that as opposed to REmake where it's beneficial if you do that.

>>1050010
Chris requires old keys which also take up what valuable little inventory space he has available. Jill is easier in the sense that you get more powerful weapons early and you have more leeway in carrying items.

How is the V-Jolt detrimental in RE1? When you use it depending on which character you're plaing as, it will either let you have to kill the Plant once instead of twice; or make you avoid killing item altogether, which in any case make you saves ammo (and maybe health too).

>Jill also seems to have more of the story in her mission due to meeting Barry.

Yes there is the whole "Wesker using Barry" when you play as Jill which is SO B-movie like; but when playnig as Chris you get more info about Umbrella through Rebecca. Speaking of that, Rebecca teaches Chris what Umbrella is, which means that in RE1's storyline, Umbrella is a small company. Umbrella became bigger and bigger with every sequel (small company in 1 -> owns a town in 2 and 3 -> has labs and bases all over the world in Survivor, CV and on)

That's because Mikami couldn't give a SINGLE fuck about 0. Sure, 0 came out after REmake; but its development started BEFORE REmake, which means that Mikami did know what was up with it; yet he did NOT acknowledge it at all in REmake. To me that's a proof that he doesn't agree with what Capcom did to his story.

>>1051156
>2. They had no idea how to shoot video or record audio.

If you don't use it in RE1 after the first "phase" Barry comes and saves you, but if you do use it then you have to fight it again. The opposite happens in REmake where if you use V-Jolt and enter the room Barry comes and saves you.

Well that's the way I felt (4 onwards not being canon) Revelations is worth a play though.

I forgot outbreak they should be played. But CVX is primarily about claire and chris finding each other so it has some merit canonically, even if the ashford family did jack shit.

It's nothing important that game at all. It brings alot that ties in but doesn't add anything. it's just being shoehorned into the canon.

Can you not change costumes more than once in RE1? After I changed it just keeps saying "old clothes".

It's what makes it possible to kill the plant without Barry. A few shotgun or bazooka shots and it shrivels.

Did you get the other items (ammo, etc) in the rooms near the aquarium?

[Anonymous No.1052797]

OP here.

Back to where I started. Checking a bunch of rooms to make sure I haven't missed anything. The last major item I seem to have gotten was the battery and it didn't seem to help me much.

Yeah, you can't.

My fav costume is the exclusive costume of Chris in the Saturn version.

The Saturn version is my favourite version of RE1 (not counting the DS version because it changes gameplay a lot even in classic mode due to enemies having a different AI and characters having more moves).

it's great, but the experience is VERY different considering that every 3D model has been redone, that enemy AI has changed (and zombies are harder to dodge for example), and that you can use the knife at any time without it eating inventory space and do a 180° backflip.

The touchscreen mode is shit though. The new "puzzles" are baby's first gimmick shit and the first person knife part have awful gameplay (spawn in diagonal to win), don't make sense at all (why would I stop to fight all of a sudden?) and breaks the scare factor as well as the feel of danger and of having to flee.
Still, it's interesting to go through the game with a different key item palcement yet again.
Wish I had friends to play the multiplayer modes with.

The game includes wireless support (LAN-only) for up to four players with two different multiplayer game modes. The first is a cooperative mode in which each player must help each other come together. The other is a competitive mode in which the objective is to get the highest score out of all the players by destroying the most monsters (with the tougher monsters being worth more points). There are three playable multiplayer stages (the mansion, guest house and laboratory) and nine playable characters (Chris, Jill, Barry, Rebecca, Wesker, Forest, Kenneth, Richard and Enrico).

I actually like to play the DS version better on emulator using a PS2 pad rather than with the D Pad of the DS. Somehow I like it much better.

>>1060927
The best part of this is that some people modded it so that you can play the single player game with any of those other playable characters now. Enjoy playing through the game as anybody from the Alpha and Beta teams. Before that only a (hilarious) Barry's mod was made for the PC version.

I'm about to replay re1 myself, the original one before directors cut where you don't even choose a difficulty before playing, they just throw you the fuck in.

[NESfag No.1064261]

>>1064251
The first PS1 version as well as the Saturn version are the only ones with no aim assist at all. Even if you play "classic mode" in Director's Cut you'll have aim assist which isn't in the original.

It makes the game harder but it's how it was intended to begin with, I personally love it (the Saturn version is my fav verison, I recommend it for the new skins of the 2nd waves of Hunters and Creature Labs, they make it worth alone by breaking the monotony of seeing the same looking monsters constantly)

[Anonymous No.1064270]

Going through Chris's campaign and just took care of the plant boss. Now, the place is filled with hunters. Is it best to avoid them or take them out with a shotgun? I'm getting my ass handed to me by these reptilian assholes.

[Anonymous No.1064279]

>>1064270

Chris is hard mode.

And take out the niggers you can with the shotgun. Run when you can't.

I played with double ammo easy mode, so I should do a proper playthough sometime.

[NESfag No.1064287]

>>1064270
Some are best avoided, some of best killed.

Basically kill the ones that are the hardes to kill and the ones which are in corridors that you go through the most. Avoid the rest.

Once you get the timing right they're actually pretty easy to kill with the Shotgun. Once you find a stronger weapon, the Magnum, don't be afraid to use it against them. Totally worth it.

Small protip: In the corridor on the west else which has the staircase connecting the ground floor with the upper floor, the staircase is divided into 2 segments. The first segment is a loading screen, the 2nd smaller segment is not. (pic related, this place except in the original).
As Chris, there is 3 Hunters up there. However, if you wake them up, attract them, quickly run and go down the upper segment of the staircase (therefore without leaving the room); you'll be below them and they won't be able to come down. They will remain runnings without moving like idiots at the start of the staircase.
Then, you can use your handgun, aim up, and kill them safely while saving stronger ammo. There is a saferoom just below in order to get the handgun and ammo in your inventory.

I like REmake, it's the second Resident Evil that I played (first was 0) but I like the PSX (Director's Cut with the good music, to be specific) more. I'm not sure why, I just have more fun with it.

I think the new musics and camera angles were good for one re-discovery playthrough.

Once the novelty factor gone though, I'd rather just play the original; although I consider a few camera angles better than the original, like upstairs in the main hall.

None of the new tracks beat the original score. It's a complete step down.

>I wouldn't mind seeing a patch for Dual Shock version with original audio though.

PAL version.

Emulate it so that you can play it at regular 60FPS (since it plays at 50fps) and to manual set the proper resolution, and you're set.
If you do that the in-game timer would still be about 18% faster so play time won't be what you would have gotten with the same play on NTSC versions
(it's actually harder to earn the Rocket Launcher in the PAL versions of the games)
