/reg/ - Resident Evil General

RESIDENT EVIL 7

OH MY GOD

Holy fuck I can't play. Just can't do it man.
I can't believe how much of a sissy bitch I am.

Anyone able to play on steam? It says it's out but I can't get the last patch it just fails. I'm

>>166445153
You okay anon?

Anyways, try restarting Steam.
But also check and see if its still unpacking, shit takes forever.

The boss fights in this game are incredibly hokey but incredibly awesome

The most predictable death in a Resident Evil since Robert Kendo.

>>166449090
No anon Im talking about the house you first go the the guest house, the one that looked like the demo stage.
In that area in the kitchen is a locked drawer but I didnt find the lockpick to open it and after the boss fight you cant go back to that area so I am wondering what I missed.

>>166450868
Doesn't really matter, does it? You lose everything after the boss fight.

anyone know how to get in the dissection room? looked everywhere for a key twice already

>>166449937
Epic webm lad I r8 a 10/10

Anyone know what the toy hatchet does?
I know the toy gun lets you get the broken shotgun back which you can fix with the repair kit but I dont know what the other toy does.

>>166452058
You need to solve the puzzle in the basement, the room with the slabs for bodies.
Look at the clue and open the name with 3 As then open the one with the bloody handprint.

where is torrent

nice on the rail cinematic cutscene game.
combat? nonsexistent. survival? find the magic trigger button and jump to the next "puzzle"

AAA did it once again.

I'm used to playing RE games on Expert. Should I play on Madhouse even though this is my first time playing?

>>166451917
Guest house is still a nice sandbox for learning things, so more exploration is better.

I really like how much it acts as a rearrange of the Beginning Hour demo, though. Sorta goads you into trying to see how much of your memory from the demo applies to the full game. Rather than a handholding sort of tutorial experience it just throws you in there, reminds you occasionally of certain mechanics, and says "hey, you're a big guy, you'll learn it as you go. HAVE FUN!"

Not as tightly executed as the REmake tutorial hallway, but still quite good for a sequence that ultimately doesn't put anything extra in your pocket when it's over, other than that Codex watch.

>RE7 just launched today
>this thread is dead
is it really bad or what

>>166500623
Nah. It's actually decent. A lot of shitlords on /v/ are bitching but eh. I'm really liking it so far.

I went to bed early last night so I'm playing today. A friend called a bit ago saying that the mold monsters only take a few shots to the head to kill them.

Jack's an asshole. I'm not used to the hiding/sneaking yet. Granted I'm not too far into the game.

>>166500623
Most people who are interested are playing it rather than shitposting.

What's the difference between the 2 colour space options on PC?

>>166507765
Moreover what the fuck is HDR mode and why can't I use it?

Should I have the shotgun by the time i get into the basement area?

>>166510029
By the time you grab the scorpion key, you're good to go on the shotgun.

So that's I guess maybe 2/3rds of the foyer section?

>4 shotgun shells and about 4 handgun rounds to kill one of those slime things

/v/ is full of people trying to dissuade anyone from discussing or enjoying the game, so I think the people who do enjoy it are either playing or discussing elsewhere, or in between the incessant shitposting.

are the molded mutated corpses?

i'd think that if they were made from livestock humans you'd actually find other living people in the house

How the FUCK am I supposed to beat Marguerite?
I pump 30 shotgun shells, 200 units of burner fuel, and four incendiary grenades right into her vag-hive-na and it just makes her more angry.

>>166516713
You need to damage her till she charges you then she runs off.

>>166515628

Beat in about 8 hours total. It's not that long. The early RE games were also pretty short, but only if you already knew all the correct paths and secrets.

It feels like they spent most of their time on the house and the Bakers, and didn't really have much for follow through in later sections, so they're much shorter and simpler.

>>166521662
Ship took ages if you explored it, the mines/lab was pretty straightforward.
The game I noticed actually followed the script of RE1 to a degree.
You start in a mansion, then go outside to a garden like area, then go to a wooden house like area down the garden path, but then you go to another house instead of back to the mansion that leads outside again to a spooky area then you get the mines and the lab.
So it does sorta have a flow like RE1 but they made the lab smaller and put the cave at the end of the game.

>>166513114
This. I have no idea how many posts i saw saying
>literally outlast!
>literally cod!
>its on rails!

I hope people actually decide to play the game for themselves and develop their own opinion

post cute Mia screenshots

>>166522369

I did do quite a bit of exploring in the ship, but even then it didn't take me very long.

I agree about the flow, but I think unlike RE1 they put most of the narrative in the house, where in RE1 parts of it come out in different sections.

>>166511358
Are you playing on the hardest? It's taking me about 3 quick headshots with the pistol and 1-2 shots with the shotgun up close. I'm on normal.

>>166513698
I would think they're mutated corpses. When you go to the morgue and read the note it says that they put someone in the furthest left section. When you open it there's a molded monster.

>>166523196
They have the tapes which serve as plot explanations to explain away about what happened to certain people and who Mia really was.
Also the DLC should help explain certain things like if Redfield is Redfield or actually HUNK.

>>166524028
Fair point. I thought the tapes were a nice touch overall.

>>166524305
I like how you can actually change things in the current time if you do stuff in the past, like the boat where you can open all the doors with Mia in the past and take all the loot in the present.

I remember starting the very first RE general on /vg/, way back when...

half the posts were people saying "IT'S NOT GONNA STICK OP"

then someone else made a second thread and it violently plunged into yelling and shitposting and died at a fraction of the posts of the first

every general I've seen since then has had pretty poor post numbers but this might be the longest lasting one I've seen in a while

also is RE7 good? and if so, is it $60 good? I mean, I'm gonna get it anyway eventually, I just don't want to spend $60 all willy nilly

I'm six hours in, and it's a lot of fun. It manages to very proficiently bridge the line between horror and humour like a good RE should. I get very heavy Alien: Isolation vibe from it, so if you like that chances are you'll like this.

No reason to pay $60, though. Set me back 41 ausbucks.

After beating the game I feel like it's missing the final area. I was expecting to get one more big interconnected, maze-like area. But instead the final boss just shows up and things end quite suddenly.

I beat the game woo

Holy fuck you need to have all the special items just to do Madhouse mode, its fucking insanely hard.

Can you use your unlocks first time in madhouse mode? Does the albert gun have unlimited ammo or is it a pistol?

>>166535867
Everything you unlock you can use in Madhouse mode.
The replica Albert-1 has 3 shots and is just a handgun that does decent damage.
It will not help in Madhouse since it is hard as hell.

Wait, so RE7 is entirely First Person?

Got my first repair kit. Is the repaired broken handgun much better than the standard handgun, or should I repair the shotgun instead?

After the 2nd boss and getting the snake key you can get a toy shotgun in Lucas's room and use that to get both guns.
Also the Shotgun shits all over the handgun, handgun is nice but the makarov is just as good.

Attention:
Anyone going for the use the box only 3 times trophy and item you can never use the box as you must use it 3 times in game.

No. It's not the "same". Just because the back of the box says the numbers match does not mean it is you advertiser. Stop shilling this game.
There is 0 HOURS of REPLAYVALUE in this.

Anyone got an accurate list of unlockables and thier tasks ? Google is giving links to shit that's either incomplete or contradicts each other

>>166552473
Ill tell you what I know anon.
X-Ray Specs: Beat the game in 4 hours or less. Counts as an infinite see all items pill.
Saw: Melee weapon, Beat the game but only heal 3 times or less. Note that Steroids do heal you but are counted as steroids and do not count as heals.
R-Albert-1: Replica of the gun used to kill the final boss, uses 3 bullets, handgun, does tons of damage but weaker than a shotgun.
Infinite Ammo: Beat the game on Madhouse mode.
Running Shoes: Beat the game only using the box 3 times. (Note you have to use the box 3 times so you can never use the box outside of those 3 times)

Is there a graphical setting I can change so the screen stops getting darker and brighter depending on what I look at

How hard is 7?

I have only played the first one and I couldn't fucking complete it because I ran out of stuff I think, can't remember much else. Should I even bother with this?

Solid game but shorter than I would have liked. Has Soft Reboot written all over it. I thought it did a good job of bringing the series back down to its roots of some poor fuckers stuck in a big house.

It could have used more enemy variety. Actually, it could have used more variety in general. Some of the plot points aren't really tied off, or at least they weren't tied off in my playthrough. I'm still not sure exactly what Mia was doing in the three years since she originally disappeared or why.

Worth the $48 I paid for it. I don't understand all the hate this game is getting and I really don't understand why people say "it's not Resident Evil!" Part of the game felt like the REmake, part of the game almost felt like STALKER, and overall it did a good job of creating a suspenseful atmosphere.

Oh also, there's a repair kit under the house behind a sheet of metal on the front of the house. You can use it to fix up the Broken Handgun to make an M19(11) or fix the Broken Shotgun for an over-under shotgun. There's a second repair kit but it's the item in the third treasure photo.

>>166555285
Change the Running shoes to.
If you smash all 20 Mr Everywhere statues you get them.
Not sure if you need to do it in one run or not.

>>166559319

you can avoid most enemies if you run out of ammo

>>166560632

Let me rephrase.
Is it possible to fuck up so bad and not be able to finish the game? Run out of healing items/ammo whatever?

Because pretty sure that happened to me in the first game. I'm not a good player.

>>166443113
post boypucci

>>166560889

I ran out of ammo at some point and just ran past most enemies and closed doors to keep them from coming in. So no you can still progress if you run out of items

>>166560889
>>166561459

oh yeah and there is an easy mode too if you really suck that much

>>166561559

Thanks.

Last question, can I switch difficulty mid game or do you have to start a new game?

>>166561664
>can I switch difficulty mid game
no

>>166561782

Okay, thanks.
Fuck it, I'll buy it and hope for the best.

What the hell are you meant to do in that Mia tape part? I hide a couple of times and then end up in a dead end. I can't progress, just keep looping around in the same few rooms.

Also, in general, I have to say I hate the bullshit parts where someone is chasing you and you don't know what you're exactly meant to do so you just have to die a few times (e.g. get run over by a car) before you figure it out. It ruins any kind of tension because then the game just becomes repeating the same bits, annoyed and without any atmosphere.

Okay, can you do the early Mia part, when she goes nuts, without taking damage? That part puts me through 2 health tonic things yet there's a trophy to only use 3.

>>166560889
To be honest, in the first game you can actually kill every enemy and still end up with over 100 handgun bullets and a load of grenade rounds, possibly some shotgun shells but they tend to get used on hunters quite a lot. The Tyrant at the end goes down to about 4 acid rounds, it's hilarious. I remember it being way harder when I was about 15 but played it recently and was surprised.

This is the actual first game, not REmake which is, what, the 8th game or something, maybe higher.

I have a weird thing going on where I can connect my pc either to a traditional small screen on desk with keyboard + mouse or a 40 inch tv and play with a controller.

What would be the best way and scariest for this game?

>>166559405
To agree with you:
1. It's totally like early RE in most ways. The locked doors, puzzles, Metroidvania elements, ways that events can play out differently based on certain actions, limited inventory, actually having to figure out what item to use on what object rather than it being automatic like RE4 onwards, etc etc.

2. It seems to be mainly based on the firstperson view. Funny thing is, Mikami wanted RE to be FP right from the start but the PS1 couldn't do it well enough. Check out the old interview with him on Crimson Head Elder to see.

3. Ironically, and of course YMMV, but the main way it's different is that it's actually scary. RE was always quite camp and silly and not particularly scary. It got even less scary with 4 onwards, what with Leon dodging laser beams with QTEs, suplexing enemies and diving headfirst through fucking windows on the 2nd floor.

>>166562541
TV, I'd say. Better if you have headphones. I have those Sony ones with my PS4 and they have virtual surround (which is an option in the game) and it's actually too scary to play with them. There are noises constantly coming from behind walls and right behind you, it's horrible.

>>166521662
>but only if you already knew all the correct paths and secrets.
To a degree but they were very short anyway. I played RE1 last month. That last time I'd played it was when it was new. I could remember visual things, like thte appearances of many areas and enemies and so on, but not puzzles or where keys were etc. I completed it in 3 hours.

amazing, the thread's still up

so, since it's technically an RE general and not an RE7 general, have y'all seen this?

MIA LEWD MODS WHEN?

>>It feels like they spent most of their time on the house and the Bakers, and didn't really have much for follow through in later sections, so they're much shorter and simpler.
That's another classic Resi thing, for better or worse. The mansion/police station parts are large, varied, have multiple elements to keep track of. Then you maybe get a secondary part like the Plant 42 building that's really quick but still has some bulk to it. Then you just race through fairly linear areas in about half an hour to the final boss (caves and lab in RE1).

>>166524489
Reminds me of A game and B game in RE2.

>>166564389
I want to a Baker gangbang of the loli. Thanks to it being on Steam, it'll happen fairly soon.

>>166561981
Mia's tape is a bit trial and error, but there's a point you need to run over to where Marg' comes from, because all she'll do is run loops around that crate pile you'd think to hid behind.

Stealth in the game is largely line of sight based, so if you're finding yourself caught, look for a different place to go and pucker your asshole.

>>166562319
Shoot a few times, quick-180, back off, quick-180, repeat. Just do it like it's old school Resi.

>>166562617
YMMV indeed, because I've yet to find something about 7 that's scary.

Unsettling, sure; the biohorror is gross to look at.

But you ever find yourself triggering some kind of jump scare and instead of being freaked out you're just "FUCK YEAH RESIDENT EVIL SHIT!" or anything? That's been my experience with the game.

And I am absolutely ok with that. Even when it's not scary anymore, the survival process is still its own challenge.

>>166565548
For me even walking forwards into the next area is scary. I'm constantly shitting myself someone will appear to chase me. Right now I got to a large hall and went upstairs and this fucker will not stop chasing me. I have no idea what to do, I'm just constantly being chased.

By contrast, in RE1-3 you were basically playing Onimusha with zombies (I know it's the other way around). You run around brightly lit corridors in a third person view and shoot slow things with autoaim. 4-6 are action games with all sorts of hilarious shit all the time like suplexing enemies and things that snap you out of it like how enemies drop glowing piles of money to upgrade your sweet guns.

>>166565186
The thing that was getting me in the tape was that pedestal is non-interactive when you walk through the room. I assumed it was just there for later when you play as Ethan again and was off-limits for Mia. I didn't realise that once you went into the outdoor area, you could then come back in and now it worked.

For the Mia combat part, I actually meant earlier than that. When you just have the axe and she has the knife. I died there the first time. I died again once on the chainsaw/pistol part you're referring to. Really, in old school Resi I'd just run past most things. Zombies practically would never ever grab you. Hunters you'd shoot once, they'd fall over, shoot again, fall over, shoot again.

>>166565548
>>166565756

i havent found any of the RE games scary.

Beginning Hour was scary and super spooky for the first time until i reliazed nothing's going to happen basically.

Then in the last update came and let you go into the hallways that leads to the basement t has the bathroom and when i entered that room it gave me that fucking unsettling feeling because it was totally new and unknown whats there and when i saw the stairs to the basement i went "fuck no" a bit.

I expected more of this in the full game but didnt really get it apart from a very few areas. I enjoyed it a lot nonetheless.

I've only found scary Mia with the chainsaw a bit because of her weird movement.

>>166566103
Shocked the shit out of me when she fucking takes off your hand.
Thought I was going to go full Glas and complete the game with only one arm.

>>166566103
Well let me put it this way. For me, the part early on when Mia disappears, you go back upstairs to the bathroom and the loud banging starts, then you go back to the basement door? Then you hear rasping breathing coming from downstairs in the pitch darkness? At that point I minimised the game and asked my friend to come over "to see the new Resident Evil". Creepy unsettling things really bother me. I still haven't completed Silent Hill 2 (or any of them, actually, apart from the Wii one) because of that. Though to be fair, I haven't tried to for years.

On a different note, I like some of the obscure references. There's a novel in the living room near the garage that's written by Clive - your boss from Revelations. It's called "The Unveiled Abyss" which is of course a reference to the events of Revelations. It does say at the end of that game that he quit his job and became an author.

>>166566418

No sadly i guess i built up of a lot of resistance to these.

When she was coming up the stairs did give me very unsettling feeling a bit until i saw it basically her, the "jump scare" didnt even make move a bit.


i.e at the end when you hallucinate her in the hallway after the kitchen with the chainsaw that can scare somewhat because of her overall look and that weird body movement(SH:Homecoming nurses have that effect on me).

Sadly i have very specific shit that scares me by now games usually dont have it.


On the other hand, im sure the game would have lot scarier and bigger effect on me if i'd would be playing in VR.

>>166565958
Still, I would subscribe to the get in, attack, and back off method. It's surprisingly relevant even in first person thanks to how sluggish the controls are.

>>166565756
I'd say there was a bit more immediate terror in my first run throughs of oldschool RE due to just not knowing how the rules of the game worked. Getting jumped by Mr. X in 2 took the cake, I'd always wonder if I'm prepared to handle scripted ambushes I have no prior knowledge about.

By the time I got to play REmake via the remaster, there were some solid scares due to the game preying on how much I knew the mansion from the original. But I was immersed more in the gameplay systems to truly be freaked out. Plus I made an effort to play competently and respect how dangerous even mere zombies could be if allowed to go crimsonhead.

Come 7 though, I'm so immersed in familiar territory and throwbacks to a time long past that the sheer nostalgia of it all overpowers any sensation of fear. It probably helped that I went through Alien Isolation back when that came out and that game conditions you to steel your bumhole real fast with far more punishing rules of play.

Actually I do think the Beginning Hour was legit the most recent I've been intimidated by RE, and it's for the same reason as you: that basement is just absolute NO GO territory

Revisiting the guest house in the full game instead just produced that same FUCK YEAH FAMILIARITY reflex that makes me too giddy to be scared of 7, even when it plays around with familiarity of the demo version.

I've heard some of the books you see in shelves are titled after stuff from Dead Rising.

I think there's an odd labelling thing that happens psychologically. Some people, if they think that something is defined as "horror" get more scared by it than the same things categorised as, say, "action".

I was thinking this when playing Splinter Cell ages ago. It dawned on me that if this was meant to be a horror game, sneaking around in the dark, trying to avoid enemies that can quite easily kill you, would be making me scared if it had an horror theme rather than an espionage theme. In some ways, you can play Splinter Cell in the same way you'd play Amnesia. You sneak, you hide, you avoid.

I think partly it's because dying feels more awful in a horror game. If the garage boss fight was just an enemy soldier in Halo or something, it wouldn't be that bad. If you really get into the headspace that this is a normal guy being attacked by a monster, then it changes it for me somehow. When the focus on RE4 shifts to collecting money to upgrade your guns, it all fell apart for me as a horror experience.

>>166567114

honestly i cant fight hide'n'seek horror games like outlast or amneisa scary becaue the plain idea that i can either run or hide gives to tension or anything at all.

>>166567282
Well maybe it's because I'm awful at stealth but it doesn't feel like much solace to me. Also, if you couldn't hide or run then the game would be designed around combat and would basically just be an FPS then.

Do I ever need the car keys again after the garage fight?

>>166567390

not really

would say original regames, but there most of the time you can easily just run past, because of the camera its like less personal/immersive and overall less scary RE7 and Dead Space for example gives me that tension, where i can fight back, but i still have to opportunity to hide or run.

you have these oppurtinities, but if you want to fight back you have to manage your resources, ammo, health items and other stuff.

makes the game more complex more shit for you to worry about.

Some silly glitches that are taking away from my enjoyment of this.

>not closing the door behind you

like, id have to try very hard to get catched by Jack

>>166567824
It's more the point that he sucked me up with his weapon like a vacuum cleaner and got me stuck on top of the door.

Anyway, I wouldn't have through the door would've mattered much in that case since he'd only be by the door if he was going to go through anyway.

A bit later, he's really pissing me off. He keeps circing around the upstairs and the main hall with the 3 cerberus heads. He won't fuck off.

>>166567282
I loved haunting ground at first, but then when it became less about getting spookt and more about "oh hey look at that, it's this dipshit again, better go hide under a desk" every 10 minutes, it got real boring and tedious

>>166567114
It's largely a matter of tone, and horror also has the issue of not exactly being sustainable as you exhaust the domain of unknown factors.

Now, it can still be thrilling and get the adrenaline pumping all the same, but flying by the seat of one's pants isn't quite the same as being scared of something.

I think what's interesting is how dying plays out across genres; I feel that horror actually doesn't really do well with the idea of dying and resetting back to the last continuation point, because it breeds not only familiarity with what you've accomplished up until you died, but also frustration with the fact you have to do it all over again. It stops feeling like horror and starts to require a mindset like you'd see from a Souls game; if you disrespect the game, the game disrespects you. That's not exactly horror I feel, that's more like a duel of wits, a puzzle in three dimensions.

Thankfully I enjoy being challenged like that, but not everyone enjoys it when horror games turn into brick walls of frustration devoid of persisting terror.

>>166567968
And also, usually doors seem to autoclose when you get a few feet away.

>>166568064
I definitely agree with the repeated dying thing. In the older REs, I found the instant death shit, like the boulders, just ridiculous. With no tension or horror, you just suddenly die if you mess up the controls a bit. There's no build up of horror, just a quick YOU ARE DEAD. Then you repeat god knows how long since you saved.

I think with RE7 it's worse for me because you die because you failed to escape properly. If Jack bursts in and you just shoot him a few times and he's dead for good, that wouldn't be remotely scary. If you die, you reset back a bit but you're still just in the panic and confusion of being chased and not knowing where to go or what to do. If you were just meant to kill him like a regular videogame enemy, then you fuck up, but try again and kill him. It's a lot neater and quick. That said, I'm sure the novelty will still wear off sooner or later.

Maybe it's just some basic mental thing - I have had 100s of nightmares about being chased since I was a kid.

Why didn't Capcom spend more time on it?

>>166568624

not sure whats point spending time with a corpse

>>166568624
My theory is there was some internal debate about DO people actually want RE to be more actiony like 4-6 or do they want it to be more horror like 1-3, CV, Outbreak etc. I mean, 5 and 6 are Capcom's two best selling games ever despite them supposedly being unpopular. 4 is critically acclaimed despite definitely scrapping so much of what made RE RE.

Yet I feel they already knew deep down it was meant to be more horror, obviously. So they did a biased test with Umbrella Corps to see how well people react to a pure action RE. It's like asking your friends if they want to have pizza or burgers, but you want pizza so you say the burger place was closed down for having maggots in the meat.

>>166568727
Isn't that kind of the point of RE?

>>166569121

That may very well be the case, or it was a prototype for RE7 they decided to shit out for a discount price. It's depressing as fuck because it feels like there's a real game trying to break free of all the horrible design choices, half-assed assets, and tiny rehashed maps.

It almost feels like it should be a F2P cash shop game like Warframe.

I really wish there was a difficulty between madhouse and normal with the arrange changes, I shot mia in the head 20 times and I she didnt die and I knew this would be more frustration than enjoyment

>>166569468
From what I've heard, it sounds horrendous. With previous REs, especially the classic ones, the hardest settings didn't seem that bad as long as you had a plan in terms of inventory contents and how to dodge each enemy. It was quite mechanical in that way. Watch a speedrun or no-hit run and people say "This zombie always lurches left", "this enemy won't jump unless you stand here" and stuff like that. Maybe RE7 will be figured out like that but right now it seems more chaotic and thus harder to succeed at purely through knowing the workings.

>>166569468

same

its fucking sad that 20 years later all devs can do to increase difficulty is to make the already bulletsponge enemies even more bulletsponge

Dont get me wrong, the bulletsponginess was just about right on normal.

But on madhouse its fucking retarded, especially mutated jack boss.

Honestly i rather have VERY SCARCE AMMO with easy difficulty enemyhealth pools.

So you know how Nemesis wasn't at all actually constantly pursuing you? How he'd be triggered to appear at set times (although they could be toggled on or off by certain choices earlier) and if you fuck off, he just disappears?

Well how does it work in RE7? There are definite trigger points but once that bastard is after me, he doesn't seem to ever stop. I mean, let's say I kill him, obviously he'll come back but will he not come back to the next plot point that would normally trigger him, or is it timed or what?

>>166570021
even after finishing the game Im still not sure what triggers it, but honestly, its much better that way isnt it, there was always the feeling that even after I downed him I wanted to get the fuck away because I didnt whether or not staying in a room exploring for just that extra minute would be too long

>>166570021

on easy/normal Jack doesnt actually roam the building. just at very specific parts which is like when you first get up from the table and i think thats it actually.

when you get the spider statue from the bath and want to leave you trigger him again

but there isnt really much

on madhouse he is constantly and actually roaming the house and you have either KO him or move around him or you can even bait him to somewhere

I think you're on pace. You might be taking it a bit slow but I'd say the shotgun isn't going to be in your hands before the first hour unless you're going full speedrun on the game. Game is very slow paced about handing you your staple RE gear after the tutorial house.

>>166570903

Don't worry about it. The game's not all that long and if you feel paranoid enough to take it slow then the game is doing its job.

>>166572865
Well it really should be a late game thing. It was pretty weird how early you got it in the first game. I mean, even without speedrunning, you have it in about 30 minutes. At that point, the pistol becomes pointless and the shotgun is really undermined. It's not like ammo for it is all that scarce given you won't use it on zombies (apart from possibly in REmake with flame rounds to stop Crimson Heads if you don't really know what you're doing).

>>166572041
She'd be, what, approaching her 40's if they don't retcon anything about her age, right?

Well she has a starring role in the upcoming 3rd CG movie. She's a bit older in that but not OLD.

Flamethrower and Grenade Launcher seems to be pretty shit if you ask me.

Shotgun is pretty much the best gun.

Even the Albert becomes shit on Madhouse.

Dont know about the magnum on madhouse but i guess its about the same as the Albert.

>>166573204
Pistol still has value in crumpling zombies in many a RE game, but the GL is historically the easymode handicap for the games it appears early on in.

Particularly in the RE1s where it pushes Jill over top of Chris in a lot of respects, especially REmake where flame rounds can incinerate zombies (though in Chris' case he still has the most inventory efficient means of using the flask and lighter, so it's not as decisive as it was back in the original).

>>166573445
I thought the Albert was actually less damaging than the shotgun. So in that case, the magnum should be way better per shot, it's just limited by how few shots there are.

>>166573517
I think the Chris auto-lighter thing is just to remedy the fact he'd be super fucked with 2 less inventory slots than Jill if they didn't. With him always having a lighter, he's now only down 1 slot in those situations.

Thing with the pistol is that it's so easy to run past zombies in RE1 that its one purpose is taken away. Taking up probably two slots for no real reason isn't a good idea. In REmake it's better because it's harder to dodge zombies - i.e. you can't just run past them - but when you get used to the old "forward backwards" trick then they're still pretty easy. I guess first time through it IS a safety blanket. Still, not sure but you could probably use explosive rounds on any zombie you "need" to kill and be okay.

Still looks nice but I don't know what it is with them giving the classic females this beak nose like they also did with Claire in REV2.

>>166572708

That does sound like something Umbrella would do. After all they'd want to know what it is about Chris that makes him so goddamn hard to kill. They might as well reclassify Chris as a BOW. Maybe all those times he got bit by T-Virus zombies did something to his genetics.

This game is going to do so badly in Japan. It makes me sad how Japanese gaming is in a tailspin now: less sigificant so games are retooled to appeal to Americans, that puts of Japs so gaming gets less significat in Japan, etc etc.

Not saying this game is bad, I like it so far, but just sad about that.

>>166574209

nobody cares about japan sales

>>166573859
The thing with the lighter though is that literally he does have the statistical upper hand, and in casual play that shit pays off hard.

1/6 his inventory for the ability to incinerate a zombie is better than the 2/8 Jill needs without using a GL loaded with flame rounds.

It's a bit bizarre, REmake balances itself out such that the characters don't define difficulty as much as they do style of play. Chris can be more frustrating due to the smaller inventory for sure, but he's balanced to be more forgiving of repeated backtracks, whereas Jill still has the issue of risk and reward due to big pockets and low health.

Though, Jill does still get to cheat her way into both shotguns faster than Chris, which still makes her out to be more friendly to beginner players.

>>166574061
Thing is that Umbrella is dead. It's been dead. Like, as a legal entity it's been dismantled in the aftermath of the Raccoon City incident, and 6's Neo Umbrella was more a psychotic terrorist group. Whatever Umbrella is now could be anything, hell it could even just be an ironic appropriation of a former foe.

I figured the name could convey an umbrella organization (GET IT? UMBRELLA?) uniting many counter-bioterror organizations like the BSAA and stuff.

>>166574317
I don't care about the sale per se, I care about all these great Japanese series basically becoming heavily Americanised. The plot of this game was written by an American.

Look at DmC as well. Is FFXVI going to basically be Just Cause? Is a new Mega Man going to come out that's basically Gears of War?

>>166574476

thats only good because the gameplay will be less shit and tedious because apart from CAPCOM japan devs are stuck in 1990

>>166573206
rebecca is an advisor to the BSAA now
the last thing she's done is infiltrate an australian university because the BSAA was suspicious of it being some sort of umbrella lab in disguise

before that she was involved in some outbreak in some city in like 2005

all of this is from the shitty stage play, mind you

>>166574446
There could also be something that Umbrella is far more ingrained and sinister than just being a company floated on the stock market. It would involve a retcon, sure, but in earlier RE, Umbrella almost has an illuminati type feel to them. As it went on, I think it was really by RE4, they were just a regular company that could be closed down like any other. Made them seem less mystical and threatening.

>>166574578
You mean like DmC compared to previous games? FFXV is barely even an RPG anymore. You occasionally pick a semi-pointless perk but generally it's a clunky-feeling action game. We'll see how it goes. Well, fortunately I'll be fluent in moon in a few years so I can just get in my little bubble and play weeb games to myself.

>>166574828
>FFXV is barely even an RPG anymore.

and before it was a visual novel with occasional turnbased combat

>>166574476
RE has always been heavily influenced by American horror. The core DNA is in Sweet Home, sure, but the franchise is easily summed up as "American games made by Japanese devs."

About the only thing you should worry about is if Capcom outsources a mainline RE to a western dev, unless it's Creative Assembly (because, y'know, Alien Isolation).

>>166574446
>>166574828
something I believe that was mentioned in the SD perry novels was that there was essentially two umbrellas

red umbrella that actually functioned as a legitimate company and white umbrella that functioned as the BOW manufacturer that we all know and love

but then again that's from the books so who cares

>>166574446
What gets me with Chris is that he has a small inventory AND he has to pick up small keys. It's even worse in RE1 because they don't stack like REmake. Him being a bit tougher isn't all that handy since herbs seem pretty plentiful and dodging is either easy (RE1) or easy-ish with practice (REmake).

Best thing about Chris' game is Becky, to be honest.

>>166574939
Jesus, man. Compare the skill system in FFVIII to in FFXV where you just hold down Circle and sometimes pick a perk of a Skyrim skilltree that makes you use less MP to dodge or whatever.

FFXII had your party on AI mode just like FFXV but then you had the whole gambit system. Magic is pointless in XV. It's just a game of pressing and holding Circle, occasionally Square, and I'm not even being facetious. That would be forgivable more if you were actually customising your guys in any meaningful way (you know, like an RPG?)

>>166575270

Or you know, if there would be a branching storyline with decisions and changes. You know, like an actual RPG?

>>166575086
He does have that sickass stun grenade defense weapon for free head pops, though.

If you were to ask me which one was more viable for going fast I'd stick to Jill, but with Chris for every one detail that makes him out to be more of a challenge you get these neat safety nets that make him in ways more forgiving than Jill.

Hence the notion that by REmake the two became differentiated not by a sense of difficulty, but by playstyle. They're easy in some respects, difficult in others.

>>166574957
Yeah, but through the lens of Japanese people. I thought about this not long ago: we think of RE being very typical in many ways, but can you think of any American horror movie in which a group of special forces people get stuck in a gothic mansion filled with BOWs? I mean, there are your "Of the Dead" movies, zombies are somewhat common, but the general plot and tone was very Japanese. The setting would normally be used for a ghost story. Having everyone basically be SWAT is pretty unusual, too, though that's probably been done. In Dawn of the Dead one of them was SWAT IIRC.

To put it another way, watch the 3DCG movies and see how they compare to any other horror film. There's nothing really like them. But RE7 is basically the opening from Silent Hill 2 ripped off, then Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Seems odd because the casuals they're after with this soft-reboot don't care about story much anyway.

so has anyone here actually mastered the dodge function in RE3?

I could never actually get it down properly and the first nemesis fight is hell because of it

I just want that STI as soon as possible

>>166575362
That's up for debate. JRPGs have rarely done that. The thing that's definitely true in RPGs is the skill system and strategy side. RPGs basically evolved from tabletop wargames IIRC. As much as DnD is famous for allowing totally open-ended play, it's also famous for having huge, number-filled rulebooks with about 5000 skills and spells and countless ways to customise stuff.

I mean, really, there aren't THAT many big choices in games like BG1 and BG2. In Torment it basically comes down to how you end it. Where are the plot choices in Might and Magic? They're not as common as people make out - you mainly just get "be nice, be not nice" Bioware-style.

>you cant save the short haired southern waifu

what the fuck

>>166575608
It's weird for me. When I played RE3 originally I got to the point where I found it easy and could always beat Nemesis. I played it again when it came out on Gamecube and found it far harder than I remembered. I never really got on top of it. Haven't played it for years so who knows how I'd find it now.

>>166575856

If there isnt branching story or actions that effect the story i dont see how its just not a game with character develpment.

Original tabletop IS about your choices and decisions that changes the story.

There are rules and skills so your actions have weight and you cant just barge in and do whatever you want.

>>166575574
>but can you think of any American horror movie in which a group of special forces people get stuck in a gothic mansion filled with BOWs

Swap gothic mansion with LV426 and you kinda get Aliens.

Just saying.

I do like that about the franchise, that it essentially works as a love letter to all kinds of horror fiction. The resulting product tends to be a rather distinct fusion of parts, even as you can recognize the ingredients that went into each game.

To me what truly unites these games together and makes it uniquely Capcom's product of Japanese game design is the mechanical quirks of each game. There's usually a good amount of systems-level crunch, even RE6 ends up being more nuanced than your average third person shooter. To me the thought of switching devs and having someone else make a game runs the risk of neglecting that particular element of the RE experience.

Not to imply an outside dev can't do it, Alien Isolation is very system-driven in its gameplay, to a point I tend to think of it as a spiritual Resident Evil using the Alien IP, which is why I would totally throw support at CA being given the opportunity to make a RE, but even at Capcom's lowest they stuck to a pattern of "systems are a game's bread and butter" with this franchise, and that is something that I feel defines the spirit of the games more than how Americanized the writing may be.

You're a survivor, here are your tools, now go and survive. As long as they don't fuck that up, they could flavor it any which way they want, and there's a lot of flavors of horror with which to draw upon.

>>166575574
it was really a matter of time

there's plenty of american movies where grizzled manly men go into a place full of monsters and end up almost all dying

just, at the time, zombies weren't exactly THAT huge

then resident evil pretty much made zombies the big new thing

>>166574446

>Thing is that Umbrella is dead. It's been dead.

Yeah, and other Pharmaceutical Corporations like Tricell stepped in to stake their claim to what was left of Umbrella. I wouldn't be surprised if "Redfield" grew up the same way Sherry Birkin grew up: In a lab.

>Implying Umbrella isn't using household names bioterrorism victims would know to lull them into a false sense of security and kidnap them for debriefing/further experimentation

At least that's the vibe I got from it. I'm pretty sure that isn't Chris, even if the model contract expired. Doubtless that Umbrella caught wind of Rival Corporation XYZ losing their latest BOW product and tailed Ethan to track the place down.

>>166442390
what does this new game actually have to do with resident evil? im not a fan of the series but from what i know RE is about some sort of zombie virus and the evil umbrella corporation. this game seems more like an occult horror thing from what i have seen

I'm like 1 and a half hours in and I really need to stop now.
This game is scaring the shit out of me and I won't be able to sleep if I continue.

So pretty damn good/10. The first person view I think is what does it. I don't think I would be this scared if it was third person.

>>166579185
Well let's just say the subtitle is "Biohazard" and you can see it's not occult. It's in line with previous REs in terms of the explanations but it's got a very different tone. More serious and more like Texas Chainsaw Massacre than the mishmash of Romero and Hammer Horror that original RE was.

If normal RE is A New Hope, this is more like Rogue One, only with the tonal difference being even greater.

Hopefully that's a sign that the series isn't going to ignore everything that came before. On one hand, always revisiting Chris, Jill, Clair and Leon is a bit silly - you'd think other people would become important - but ultimately they would remain major players in all this one way or another.

Does anybody have a video or link to one of dying by being killed by a zombie in resident evil 7? I've been looking for a while now but only found generic death scenes, its as if no one was bad enough at the game to die via zombie.

The fact that Onimusha also spawned from RE. RE3 was originally going to be a sidestory, not a numerical entry, and what ended up eventually becoming RE4 would've originally been RE3 in its place IIRC. Not 100% on that last one.

Some odd things that changed over time stand out to me. Like Mikami didn't like Rebecca Chambers because he thought she was too cute and girly, he wanted females like Ripley from Alien. He was basically argued into including her. Yet by RE4 he created Ashley, the most useless, girly piece of shit in the whole series apart from Alfred.

>>166589385
one of the things I liked is that there was an RE3 definitely planned because there was a biohazard 4 poster in front of a theater in 3

it's a pretty neat little reference to something that wasn't real yet

haunting ground was one of the games made from RE4 leftovers, too, iirc

I really would like them to release playable variants of all the dropped versions, ie the N64 RE0, RE1.5, the playable versions of RE3.5

I'd even like them to rereleased dino crisis 3 without the fixed camera angles like it originally had, because DC3 suffered a lot from that fixed camera angle

For some reason the creepiest thing in the whole game wasn't any of the mold mutants, screamers, baker family or Eveline.
The creepiest thing was the photograph of Umbrella's chopper signed with "Are they watching us from that helicopter?"
I don't know why, the combination of the photo, slightly visible umbrella's logo (knowing the shit they do) and the implication, phrasing of the whole thing just kind of sounds spooky.
Am i the only one?

Anyone playing Resident Evil 7 on PC and getting massive stutter? The game runs perfectly fine, but during the 'cutscenes', when Daddy attacks or when switching rooms the game sometimes freezes for several seconds. Playing in borderless window mode helped at the very beginning, but as soon as I arrived in the main house it started again. I tried deactivating dynamic shadows and ambient occlusion as some people on the internet suggested, but that didn't help.

It basically makes the game unplayable, because the game locks up constantly for a few seconds when I'm being chased by enemies.

>>166593957
No, but that kind of shit is why I prefer to play on PS4 unless the game has a shit, inconsistent framerate (e.g. TW3).

Do you have it on an SSD? Any background apps that you don't need?

>>166594342
I don't have it on an SSD, but I doubt it's that because my HDD is barely doing any work when the stuttering occurs. I also thought that would explain it, but some area switches are no problem at all, and stuttering also occurs when I'm stationary and not doing anything or stay in the same area and deal with an enemy.

>>166593957
Turn all the (variable) settings to on or off. I was having the same problem and that fixed it.

>>166594757
Thanks, I'll try that. I also managed to fix it at least somewhat by turning shadow quality down to medium and disabling shadow cache. It still stutters occasionally, but only for a second or less and not nearly as often.

VR mode is probably the scariest Resident Evil has ever been. I'm finding it difficult to push forward because the house and enemies all feel so real.

>>166596957
I'm having that experience anyway. I think playing in VR would actually kill me.

Beat the game on normal. Is Madhouse any good? I got up to the part with Jack chasing you around and he keeps fucking me up. He's like 3 times faster. How do you deal with him?

>>166597054
I know what you mean. I'm playing the game with headphones and the sound design is what really kills me. Especially after entering a new area, I'm always unsure whether what I'm hearing is just ambient sounds or actual enemies moving around. I often stop dead in my tracks just to listen and to make sure that the footsteps I'm hearing are really my own.

Anyone else feel like the demo was better than the actual game? I would've rather played as Clancy.

Not to mention, the game seemed so much better when playing the demo and seeing the ghost, made it feel haunted as opposed to just uroboros.

If you shoot her when she's on walls she becomes vulnerable. her weak spot is her womb. Also block a lot. She tends to pop out of windows and cracks in the wall and it'll stop her from grappling you.

>>166598058
Anyone?

>>166598893
It's the other way around for me, I actually disliked the demo and reconsidered even buying the game. It gave me the impression that RE7 was more about sneaking around like in Alien: Isolation, with little to no means to defend yourself, and even when I found the handgun in the demo, it seemed somewhat tacked on to me since there were no actual enemies to kill (or at least I didn't find any).

I'm glad that this game is very much Resident Evil, though, with all the things that made the original trilogy so great. Considering which items to take with you because you dread backtracking through that one area, always fearing to run out of ammo, and they even got the doors right, so that you feel a bit tense every time you open a new one.

>>166599854
Maybe my love for P.T. clouded my judgement. I guess it wouldn't be very Resident Evil is there was no zombies/virus.

>>166599854
>(or at least I didn't find any).
I agree with everything you say, but I just wanted to point out that there is a single enemy in the demo. You're meant to go down into the basement and a mold thing attacks you while dad locks you in with it. At this point there are two endings: one if you win unscathed and one if you win but take at least one hit.

>>166599804

Haven't gone for it myself yet, but apparently it is pretty bullshit difficult.

>>166599804
Madhouse sounds like a fucking nightmare. OHKOs, really fast enemies, enemies constantly stalking you all the damn time, not just at certain parts, enemies take about 50 fucking shots to knock down...

>>166599854

>even when I found the handgun in the demo, it seemed somewhat tacked on to me since there were no actual enemies to kill

That's because it was tacked on. Quite literally tacked on in an update to the demo in early December.

for anyone asking about Madhouse

its different a nice change

BUT THE FUCKING BULLETSPONGES FUCK CAPCOM

have very scarce ammo and non-bulletsponge enemies is the better solution you chinese bastards

>>166600376
They also get back in up the second you leave the room so killing them is pointless.
To do Madhouse you fucking need the running shoes to outpace the Bakers and you need the Albert-R just to put them down in 3 hits since its the best handgun.

Weapons in the game:

Switch knife

Survival knife

Glock handgun

M19 handgun

MPM handgun

Magnum

Shotgun

Double barreled shotgun

Grenade launcher

Flamethrower

Submachine gun

Remote bombs

Saw and Wesker gun as unlockables.

Can anyone confirm how you get the X-Ray glasses? I've seen conflicting reports that it's a 4 hours or less speedurn or under 3 healing items.

>>166607396
Its one or the other.
Though I think its 3 healing items or less that causes it to unlock.
Just play on easy and outrun Jack at the start or you are forced to use a super heal on getting back your leg.

I just beat marg, i don't want an exact location but how far from the repair kit for the m19 am I?

To unlock the locked drawer in the Guest House , watch the Sewer Gators' VHS tape from the attic. When you start, look at the ground and take two steps back; the lockpick will be there. Unlock the drawer and when the tape ends, it'll be unlocked for Ethan, with your first Antique Coin.

This only works in the prologue! When you come back to the Guest House in the epilogue, the TV's gone and your copy of the VHS is gone too.

Meant I had to start an NG+ to get the achievement...

So I've only played RE4 and now 7, and I want to try the first game. Is REmake good for someone who hasn't played RE1 before or should I stick to the original?

>>166513698
Actually, the Molded are animate fungus-creatures, "drones" being made to serve the "Hive Queen" as defenders. You find this out in the last two files you collect, at the end of the game.

>>166611528
They're made of repurposed people-matter though, aren't they?
I recall the same files talking about cell-by-cell assimilation, and that when the majority of the host's cells are infected they undergo extreme mutation.

>>166611684
I don't think so. Remember, the file talks about the Product producing fungal filament extensions of its mutamycete, the fungus lacing its body, so I presumed the Molded are literally extensions of the Product that it can form wherever there's any sufficiently large patch of Mold.

If you only played 4 from the original saga so yo disk then yeah sick with remake. Imo re1 has not aged well graphically inb4 graphics aren't everything. It can be quite jarring to adjust to. If you look at re2 (my personal fav. Just finished all scenarios in over 10 years still love it) or re3 even, the difference is very obvious. Also re1 had bare bones mechanics. .. classic some may call it. Re2 perfected those mechanics and re3 added new ones like hitting action while an enemy attacks dodges and hitting run and back does a quick 180. Its needed Thanks to the additional... hazard... in the game but its... you know what.

Tldr Play remake, then re2 and re3 if you feel up for more or less the same re2 (imho re3 is like a reaaaally big expansion pack/dlc for re2 but still great)

So, with RE7 now out (and awesome!), who's hoping that RE2Make won't be far behind?

In fact, what are you hoping to get in the RE2Make? The REMake gave us a lot of nifty tweaks, like Lisa Trevor and Crimson Heads - any possibility we may get more of the same from the REMake of RE2?

>minutes shy of 3 hours

I mean I did spoil myself in some places but damn I'm hauling seven kinds of ass.

>>166612604
Fuck the larger flying bugs that stagger you if you don't deal with them and are impossible to hit with your knife the 90% of the time when they aren't hovering.
That said I finished the game with 500+ spare burner ammo so maybe I was just too stingy.

I thought "shoot her in the pussy" was just some joke, but fuck man this was a bit ridiculous. Those massive ass flies that perfect dodge your knife all the time were more startling, they're like the dogs of this game. Now I've got surplus burner fuel too, maybe I should roast some molders?

It revisits old locations like its any other games dlc would. Dishonored did it and that was still good. Not being a dick but the RPD bits were "ooh remember this part and ooh member the lickers ooh I member!" But it fits into the current story of jill (current for re3 y'know what I mean) but yeah. I get publishers think if people liked re2 give them moar if they liked the underground facilities give them moar. If they liked re4 give them mOMG NO PLEASE NO RE5/6 PLEASE NO.

I know is /vg/ but it's related. The movie franchise had a holding pattern like the games at some point.

They'd spend $x and get $xy in profit. They were successful so they make more muffling cries of "BUT ITS RUINING THE CANNON" with money with Resident evil movie 1 (REM1) it took place in The Hive Umbrella lab under the mansion in re1.

In rem2 it was raccoon city but had lab scenes where they reused shots and set pieces of the hive, re3 they were far from raccoon city... but for "clone testing" and other contrived plot reasons they had a REPLICATED HIVE AND SURROUNDING MANSION from re1/rem1. It saved then time and money to repeat the same events or sceneries and since re2 and re3 were made in the same engine they didn't even change the artwork or camera locations for a lot of the old revisited locations to "add something new" it smelt like copy paste with some fat trimmed and zombies sprinkled on top of old areas like pitting salt on a week old steak to "make it fresh again". I'm holding onto hope for re7 to be a "different" that capcom needs for the RE universe but I'm no fool so I'm not holding my breath.

Also the fact that for the movies "FINAL CHAPTER" they are "back where it ago started even though they never really left... I don't have high hopes for it to not reflect on the games as well. (The spoiler image of redfield makes me see that this reflection in the lake water of RE seems to have an old corpse of the RE we knew sitting at the bottom to jump out at us later.

>>166617808
I dunno man, you were in the RPD for about 3-6 minutes, and there's not really any lickers in there either, and that was the only place from RE2 you visited

I mostly prefer 3 because the best parts of 3 were a neat, reoccurring enemy, and the streets of Raccoon

in 2, it teases you with what is basically a tutorial level and then the rest of the game is indoors

in 3, the tutorial is an alleyway and the rest of the game is in the streets and alleys of the weirdly and inexplicably japanese city

and re7 honestly would've been a better side game because I, for one, firmly believe that they should keep the weird new things as side games to test the water and, if well received, add it to a numbered title

wait, do I actually NEED to buy keys now?

Just finished the game. Let's talk about the story. So if I'm getting this right; Eveline was aboard the ship with Mia, and Alan when she went berzerk and started spreading her shit. Baker family picks her up and turns them into THE FAMILY SON. She aged quickly and became the old lady.

>>166628689

Yes. While we're talking story, exactly how long was Mia held hostage?

Ethan says she's been missing for three years.
So ostensibly three years.

Don't think so. If you try to use the five-letter code lock without getting the code it won't let you.

Just unlocked the three headed dog door and moving onto the next area, but I feel really paranoid that I missed something in the Mia VHS tape.

Is there something you can do in that tape to influence present events or unlock something like the first video? Or is it literally just avoiding Margeueauoeite

>>166611451
If I were you, I'd at least try RE1. You can complete it in about 2-3 hours. It's actually a very simple game by modern standards. If you start with REmake, it'll be harder to go back to RE1, RE2 and RE3 (and even CV).

>>166639936
I think it's just meant to be a bit of extra story as well as a hint for the eagle podium thing. It also has an achievement attached to it.

>>166641304
In addition, starting with REmake means missing out on some really well placed scares that prey on familiarity with the original.

Personally I'd recommend playing the DS port of RE1 since it streamlines a few things (knife doesn't take up item space and is always available via the L button, you can tactical reload instead of having to combine ammo with gun in the inventory, you can skip through the room transition animations, map is always on top screen and your health is conveyed by having the background behind the map screen flash colors as you go from yellow health to red...), though it ain't much a looker in the visuals department.

THE DEATH CANNOT DIE.

Maybe I'm just jaded, but has anyone else not found this game to be scary at all? All of the jump scares have been really obvious, and those mold men are easy as fuck to kill.
All and all I like the game, but I wish I was spooked.

>>166658584
you've just got a higher tolerance for spooks, anon

me, personally, I don't get scared by games at all because I actively look for spooks

spooks fuel me

>>166658584
Sorta, if you count being startled as totally different from being scared.

Somehow I keep getting got by things breaking through windows.

Anyone else struggling to not be really disappointment in the game? There are just so many fucking issues with it.

>Intro sequence is basically a 20 minute long unskippable cutscene
>Scripted sequences out the ass that make replaying the game a chore
>enemy variety is dogshit and on top of the the enemies that are there are really unimpressive from both a visual standpoint and are also boring mechanics-wise
>Jack is only in the game for like an hour and a half and that section of the game is by far the best part of the game, the rest of the game just isn't that good.
>The mansion section of the game is fucking tiny and is overall just pathetic compared to the Spencer mansion
>sections of the game barely have any enemies in them and genuinely feel like you're playing a walking simulator
>extra game modes obviously cut from the main game because of muh season pass
>last boss is just terrible

Also, if I were to rate the sections of the game, it would go like this:

>intro sequence
20 minutes of scripted sequences/10

>Jack Baker section
9/10

>Bug lady
7/10

>Lucas
3/10

>ship
5/10

>mines

The first half is almost great and the second half is just bad. Its like yeah we got a game more in the style of classic RE but its just not a good RE game. Someone prove me wrong or something I really want to like this game my dudes.

Query; does the "Ghost Woman" only show up in the Demo's version of the Sewer Gators VHS, or has someone seen her in the version you play in the game proper?

Bump before this general gets iced

>>166668192
>>How did Jack Baker communicate with Ethan when he was fuckin DEAD?
Ethan was already infected and shared a mental link. Ethan got his hand stitched on.
>>Who was Oliver that was mentioned in Lucas' notes?
Dont remember that. Maybe his contact at Umbrella?
>>I assume its Umbrella behind Eveline? Why did they wait 3 FUCKING YEARS to try and finally contain their BOW?
It was their test field.
>>How did Lucas maintain control over his own mind?
Early on the controll wasnt well established, maybe through his doctor appointment umbrella gave him serum to have someone inside the mold
>>Lore behind the specimen's head and arm? What were those from? I assume the prototypes before Eveline?
Must be captured speciements or through Lucas. Like he did with the cops head.
>>What the fuck is up with Marg's Bugs?
I think thats because Marg was a good gardener?
>>What the fuck is up with the healing juice
Its concentrated Mold from Eveline. It looked cool in other games so they took it
>>Why was Eveline controlling Mia to try and kill Ethan when she brought him there to be part of the family
Because he rejected Evelyn/Mia to be the dad
>>How and why the fuck does Mia get to the boat when you save Zoe
Evelyne controlled her
>>Where is Zoe after you kill Eveline and save Mia?
Either in a testtube at Umbrella or running around. But my bet is, if the Mold died with Evelyn, she might die too, since the Mold stil might be too interwoven with her body
>>Where is Lucas?
He gets recruited by Umbrella and stars in the Prototype series.
Guess he will be the enemy in RE8. But like Zoe, i guess.

>>166666175
Sure he is.
Mia attacked him and Fungus can infect quicker trough wounds.

>>166671059
Mostly makes sense, Oliver was mentioned in Lucas' notes in his bedroom. I believe he said he locked him in the attic, so I fully expected to see an enemy up there but I didn't.

Umbrella using the house as a test field and using Lucas as a contact definitely makes sense. I don't think thats what they initially intended though? They just kind of capitalized on a good situation.

Chris at the end surely means this is a reboot right? There's no fucking way he'd be working for Umbrella. Also, he's not a roid using hulk.

>>166671835
Well, consider the lore for the Umbrella Corps game:

>The single-player portion, "The Experiment," takes place in 2012 and 2013. It follows an Umbrella Corps agent, a paramilitary unit that hunts for lost bioterrorism research, code named 3A-7. He is sent on missions by superiors in order to test out new equipment such as the Zombie Jammer. Once the testing is successful, his superiors try to kill him by sending him on more dangerous missions. The Experiment ends with 3A-7 overcoming all odds and surviving all of the missions, scaring his superiors. It is implied that 3A-7 either is the agent HUNK or is as dangerous and possesses the same level of skill. It is also strongly hinted at via voice clips that randomly play at the outcome of multiplayer matches, as well as hints from The Experiment that Albert Wesker may still be alive.

>The multiplayer portion takes place in 2015, two years after the events of Resident Evil 6 and 12 years after the collapse of the Umbrella Corporation in 2003.[1] Although the Umbrella Corporation has been disbanded, a great deal of valuable viral BOW research information leftover from their past evil endeavours is still waiting to be discovered. Settings that resemble locations that have been destroyed such as the Spencer Mansion and Raccoon City are explained as being recreations for training purposes.

>Several corporations feverishly desire possession of Umbrella's assorted remnants and secrets - most especially those involving their bio-weapons technologies, a search that inevitably brings them into direct conflict with other corporations which are also seeking the same things. As a result, these global corporations send mercenaries into several zombie infested sites to search for Umbrella's lost secrets.[2]

Guys

I'm one of those people who has a Phenom II CPU.
And apparantly it's a common issue at the beginning of the game to crash after you submerge from the water after entering the basement for the first time in the house.

Does anyone have a save file right after that I could use? Sucks that I'd have to buy a new CPU and motherboard just to bypass that single part.

>>166660616
Disappointed?
Not really. Its a good and solid game.
But sure it has some downs.

And you can see that it was very much optimised as a VR game. And it was planned more for VR shock feel. That the reason why you have many cinematic sequenzes, can grab and turn objects to solve puzzles, play with narrow visuals like squeezing through walls, crouch and the sneaking around.

It felt more like a telltale story. You can devide it in 1/3 very good, 2/3 meh and 3/3 ok. The end boss fight felt bland. There were several things that felt like being taken from other games or movies. Enemies AI felt very dumb/bad programmed but left enough room with it to solve the game. Game felt really linear than other Resident Evils. Scripted events felt very obvious. Hand to hand combat was not easy. Enemies, especially endboss didnt show enough "hit" feels to indicate their health.

But it was a good homage at all resident evil games before. Jack was best. Jacks fight were really cool. The video parts were really inovative. Puzzles were good. The atmosphere was good. The game didnt convoluted into shooting at hordes of enemy. Several good shocking events. Good Lore. Good storytelling. Using some inspiration from other horror films, like taking the good parts from them. Sound was really creepy good.

It was good Ressident Evil and solid game. Lack the replayability but was worth the game.

>>166673412
>Puzzles were good.

What the fuck? They were fucking horrible and there were hardly any of them.

>>166671835
Oh that. I thought that too. My guess they had to ex that from the game since making a good arena and to plot that out wasnt finished/in timeplan.
But after just getting the card, i wasnt sure if it was some stuff he did as a teen, so he killed someone and covered it up. To show that he always was a sadist.
Or i speculated that he was some victim that nearly escaped and died up there. In some note it was that Lucas let someone escape, so Lucas just covered it up.
Maybe it was just some of the first victims when the family wasnt open infected.
But yes, i remember in the note there was "and something wierd started to drop down from up there". I was kinda puzzled that it looked very clean up there.

>>166671835
It felt very RE1 like, so i guess its kind of a soft reboot, like Force Awakens.
And it is a new virus.
But i dont know if the Plague from 4 and 5 wasnt some t-virus stuff or not.

Ok so I bought it rn, what am I in for?

now that i think about it, there's no way thats actually chris as theres an article in the game mentioning the raccoon city tragedy. unless this game takes place in some alternate timeline

An 8 hour game that's only good for about an hour and a half of it.

>>166673698
There were several. Ok you might call it more object hunting, but having the eagle and thinking what to do with it was funny. The notes giving you informations and the objects.
You are right there were not so many, but they were good. At least for me.

>>166675279
If you play it normal, you can sink 12 hours into it, even without hunting all collectibles.

>>166674849
A good solid game. But dont expect a mind blown game, but a very good horror game that feel very Resident Evil 1 like.

>>166674550
Las Plagas were a macroparasite unearthed in Europe, so, no, they weren't connected to the Progenitor Virus and its derivatives that appeared in the classic quartet, the Gun Survivor games, or the Revelations duology. I'm not sure if the C-Virus connects to the T-Virus or not.

And, actually, it's an infectious fungus, not a virus, although they insist on using the term "bacterium" at one point in their R&D file, so I figure Capcom got the two confused.

>>166673698
I'll challenge that sentiment:

1) the game itself prominently shifts back to the adventure game style of GET THE THING AND USE IT, which arguably classes the whole game as a puzzle, and that's before factoring in how the use of stalker enemies adds an extra dimension to the adventure puzzle framework by making maneuvering around the game space its own puzzle.
2) Though they're absolutely a VR gimmick, the shadow puzzles were really cute, and they and a few of the instances of "rotate the object and interact with it from a specific angle to manipulate it" harken back to RE1 and RECV having these brief inventory "puzzle" moments where you manipulate the 3d object to do things. But the shadow puzzles themselves are cool because like any good shadow puzzle the key you manipulate looks nothing like the shape you're to make with it.
3) In terms of explicit puzzles, then ok yes RE7, and a fair number of mainline RE games I'd argue, is still not going to compare to Silent Hill in shit that makes the neurons fire off. That said, "Happy Birthday" is up there in terms of puzzles that get you to stop and think things through, and it's nice that it didn't have to take the form of a gallery room puzzle, which I feel is historically RE's puzzle design at its strongest (the Ashford Family Tree puzzle in CV in particular because of how much it requires you to infer details from the information provided)


I would argue that RE7's puzzle design is more unfocused rather than sparse, though. It dabbles in all kinds of stuff, rather than focusing on a particular class of puzzle beyond the adventure game inventory management subgame.

>>166675560
Ok, thought they were some virus ridden parasites.

Thought the virus in Evelyn enabled her to develope the fungus. As i remember the doctor files talked about fungus like and if they see that, unknown to them, think it is a fungus. But i have to admit i dont remember so well if Zoe or other notes from Lucas really identified it to be a real fungus

Anyone know a good torrent for Bio 7 on PC?

Like 3 games came out on the same day, and you can't discuss RE7 on /v/. Just finished it today. I guess a lot of people are still playing.

Post what you're running with right now.
bump

Is there any chance if this new Umbrella is actually the good guys?

>>166683335
they're the guys from umbrella corps
the game

they just go around beating other umbrella corps guys up with ice axes

Just finished my speedrun with less than 5 minutes to spare. Thank god that ending cutscene doesn't count towards the time limit. Guess it's time to move onto madhouse.

>>166689994
>doing speedrun without infinite ammo
Please tell me you at least got the running shoes first, you madman.

>>166690450

Nope. All I had was the Albert gun and defense thing. To be honest, I wasn't even aiming to get under par. I was going for the collectibles and no healjuice, and somehow wound up under 4 hours anyway.

>bought game yesterday, played a bit

It's the fucking first person view.
Really does the job.
Maybe too well.

wait they still do that ?
though that shit died with the 360

>>166676080
Nah. They're full-on macroparasites - parasitic multicellular organisms that grow big enough to be seen with the naked eye. Fun fact, they're the second such species to appear in RE, with the first being the engineered Nemesis-Alpha that created Nemesis (injection into a T-103 Tyrant) and the proto-G-virus (injection into Lisa Trevor).

It's confusing. They claim the "mold" is a growth produced by a bacterium, but in that very same document, they say Eveline was engineered from conception to be a host for a "vicariant evolution fungus" they dubbed the Mutamycete. Hence why the E-Necrotoxin is called out as a fungicide. I'm thinking that either bacterium and fungus can be interchangeable in medical terms, or else Capcom screwed up its bacterium reference when they intend for it to be a fungus.

Mia IRL A CUTE!

>>166693428
Bacteria and fungi occupy different... whatever the exact term is, they're definitely not overlapping, though apparently there's at least one kind of bacteria that has fungi-like filament growth. But bacteria are prokaryotic, and fungi are eukaryotic, they're in completely different domains.

It's possible they're trying to describe something more akin to a lichen, or it's a fungus that can behave like a bacterium at a certain scale. Then there's just the possibility that someone punted the technobabble, I'm one to believe this since translating technical stuff from Japanese to English can be a bit of a clusterfuck at times.

Really, it's just easier to think of it as super-Cordyceps, Resident Evil style
But for real, -mycete refers to fungi, and muta- refers to change, ergo mutamycete: evolving fungus. Vicariant refers to something about gene dispersal but that goes beyond my ability to grok this shit so long story short it's super-Cordyceps

How good is the magnum? I just finished madhouse and am putting together a loose route to stick to getting the speedrun achievement. I'll have infinite ammo so that isn't a concern. Not sure if it's worth stopping to pick up enough coins before I hit the trailer.

>>166694428

Best weapon in the game, so yeah. It'll take down the first form of the final boss in about 2 or 3 hits on medium. Hardly necessary though.

>>166449937
WHAT ARE YOU, A COP, DOING IN A SUSPICIOUS LOCATION?

>>166694428
I honestly didn't bother collecting it until I reached the swamp. Just wasn't enough ammo to make it worthwhile, and the fights where it might have been useful were easy enough with just a buttload of pistol & shotgun bullets. Hell, the first fight with Jack is actually a puzzle boss, really - you don't need to fire a single shot prior to setting him on fire.

So it dawned on me at a point that you can combine gunpowder with 10 normal bullets to get 5 enhanced bullets.

This ends up with the cute implication that 2 gunpowder, 20 bullets and 1 separator chemical are equivalent to 1 strong chemical fluid. Not the most efficient recipe, especially because my primary use of strong chem fluid has been in making enhanced bullets, but hey if you don't like handgun bullets nor gunpowder, then just save them up to make strong chem fluid for the things you do like.

>>166695794
I think if youre using albert using that method for handgun ammo is way more efficient since youll kill everything in 1-2 headshots

>>166696075
It still feels more like an emergency recipe, whereas strong chem lets you keep 20 regular bullets for plinking purposes on top of giving you a fresh mag of enhanced.

But I guess when you're going fast, and you weren't going to use all those regular bullets in the first place, the math works out?

All this being said, enhanced bullets have been my favorite resource in the game, they've kept the Glock relevant for far longer than I'd ever expect a RE handgun to be.

>>166697352
yeah its more about efficiency, on my second playthrough even with using gunpowder exlusively with handgun bullets, I had 40 or so enhanced and 60 or so regular bullets left over, the albert just rewards headshotting too efficiently to bother with all the extra handgun ammo, with the starting pistol Im sure the trade off is more meaningful though

Has anybody tried shooting her chainsaw? Seems like everyone just shoots her head.

You know what this game is missing? A self-destruct sequence.

Hey, anons? Does RE4 on PC via Steam come with the Separate Ways mini-game? Ada Wong's special story that got added to the versions of the game that came out after the Gamecube?

If it does, how do you get it? Do you need to beat the main campaign first?

What's the best way to play RE2&3? Emulation or PC ports?

>>166699253
yes

beat the main campaign first, I believe

>>166699570
the PC ports are arguably the best versions but you could always emulate 3 for DC or gamecube, or 2 for N64, GC, or DC

What's the best way to play RE2&3? Emulation or PC ports?

>>166699570

PC or Gamecube emulation, although the 64 version of 2 has unique content in the EX-files.
