I think 6 would be overall solid if the campaign was tightened up. Imo, all of Leon’s campaign is actually good.... and maybe half of the rest.

I just really like these games in coop. :-/

Leon's first two chapters really set the tone for how I wanted the rest of the game to go.

"You just murdered the President, your closest 'friend'/ally post-Raccoon City in cold blood. Now you're trapped in a Biohazard outbreak again. Are you a bad enough dude to survival horror the night?"

Then it gets stupid. Until China. Where it picks that tone back up (in the background) but goes fully-action. :yuck

Chris' campaign is :yuck because a lot of it just poorly made.

Sherry/Jake's campaign is meh. Could cut like 90% of their campaign, make the lab into Leon's campaign (featuring Sherry as a throw-back, who gives a shit about 'Wesker's son?' Double-so in that they haven't mentioned him since!) and expanded that outbreak in America (and China I guess) out more than they did.

Ada's could've been alright, but the stealth is broken (like the rest of the characters) which makes it pointless.

raid > mercenaries

In no universe is that true.

RE6's demo was enough for me to never play it. It was atrocious. Also, being able to shoot while running? Fuck you Capcom. Buckling for those feggits that demanded RE turn into Dead Space was :barf

My favourite thing in RE5 was playing coop and both getting the cattle prod. You could juggle the enemies in between you and a friend by just wacking them after their stun animation ends. Great fun.

Stolen from reeeeeeeeee:


Quote
Just announced on Capcom's Resident Evil 2 Launch Event Stream. Ghost Survivors is a free content update for REmake 2 that will be hitting post-launch, no date yet, but it's a new game mode where you can play as multiple characters, it'll be a mode with randomized elements, an in-game shop (not micro transactions, earn points in-game by performing well), and should be very replayable they say. Hints it might be like a randomizor/rogue mode, but no 100% at this time. Confirm that Robert Kendo, a USS Member and Katherine (mayor's daughter) are playable in it, surprisingly the characters from the main game not confirmed playable at this time (but say more characters to be revealed).

More info to come soon.

---

SLIGHT UPDATE: Not much more, but this mode seems it'll be dished out in volumes over time, three volumes, the first one will hit at an unknown date, have Kendo, a USS Member, and Katherine playable. The mode may have a loose "alternate reality" story mode and randomized rogue-like mode, but it's a bit unclear right now. Confirmed this first volume will include a brand new enemy that's not in RE2 normally, and again is a free content update.

If you actually go back however many months to play it when there's gonna be so many other things releasing, then sure.   :trumps  Sounds like a Shadow of the Tomb Raider let down scenario to me.  I should've not gotten that at launch.

Was Claire's portion only around 3 hours originally?  Read online that it is in this remake ... and Leon's is about 8?  Sounds a bit off.

Unless they radically changed everything: No. Each ones campaign is the same. Only minor differences (A/B scenario changes room orders/directions, like one character comes from the north in the Sewers where in the B scenario that character comes from the South, "Zapping" system hold-overs [just a gun and extra item space] being saved).

Each one takes a similar time-frame.

I could see it being something like eight hours the first time through and then three hours on a second run when you know how to get through everything.  Maybe that's what they meant.

I played Claire A some years back, after a decade+ of not touching the game, and i beat it in under 4 hours.
I didnt remember most puzzles etc, so 3 hours when you remember everything, seems plausible.

Scenario B was significantly longer tho.

They cut the opening run and you can't go under the RPD front-door at all anymore according to the map.  >:( :trigger

Hardcore mode is BRUTAL. Get grabbed once? Instant-Danger, unless it's a crawler, in which case you're instantly put into "Caution."

I'm able to run the game pretty much on max settings and 144hz.  No idea how it's running so well when even the options menu says this should be too much for my system.   :lol

The game supports 21:9, too. :drool  Cut scenes remain in 16:9 which is typical.

They're not, which crushed me.  :stahp

It's very inconsistent with how many shots (body part be damned) it takes to down a zombie. You could argue that it was always like that but you couldn't precisely aim in the original.

And Leon's VA sounds like a wimp.  :yuck

I finished it as Leon on Standard, started Claire’s Second Run, saw the game is going to throw Mr. X at you in the first 30-45 minutes, then noped out. Instead I started a new game Claire run and made it to the sewers. I also found all the Raccoon Toys so I unlocked the infinite use combat knife which should make every run a whole lot easier.

Zombies are bullet sponges but they're also appropriately stupid- if one sees you from a higher floor you can get them to fall over a landing or railing trying to mindlessly get at you which is kinda hilarious to watch.

Ive gotten hit enough to know it’s 100% random. Sometimes you’ll even not take damage in hardcore when he hits you head on.

This is an absolutely amazing game, but Mr.X in hardcore is pretty much impossible. Spent an entire hour getting through a section even having been really good at the game.

He gets up in seconds and eats up pretty much all of your ammo, dumping you back entire sections if you get combo locked on a wall. :-\

That said, that bit is just a drop compared to all the amazing stuff so far, and like it might be better than REmake.

Why are you even trying to fight him?  RUN!! :). Putting bullets into him just makes him stop for like 30 seconds to a minute on normal.  If it's even less time on hardcore...nope!

There's rumblings that he is kind of unfair in this remake since if you run far away the game will just teleport him to your location.
