OCH Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 13 hours ago, one-armed dwarf said: They should do an adaptive difficulty where the game just gets harder the more you die. Call it Itagaki mode. Demon's Souls was good for that. Not only were you reduced to half health from (your first) death, it decreased the more you died. Plus you made the World Tendency darker making enemies even stronger. The original "Git Gud" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Well,this is brilliant. I ran the time out and died once. Even more excited for the main game now. Totally worth it,the end reveal in that trailer? Yes. All the yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I did 17:30 with zero deaths. I enjoyed it, it’s confirmed to me I wanted it doing in the original REmake style though instead of over the shoulder. But I’m still excited and even thinking of pre-ordering. And I never pre-order anymore. The classic resi feel is still there, loved exploring the station searching for items to further progression and finding notes. Loved how the skin would blow off on the zombies faces when you shot them there too, looks cool! It’s still Resi 2 as well which was my favourite one of the classics. The camera needs a bit of adjusting IMO though, it flys about at the lightest touch of the stick. I was also having problems with the lighting levels and it didn’t look as sharp as I’d hope - playing on a X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 With the whole black levels thing it seems it can do black just fine outside the station. But when you go into that hallway you can see how it's pitch black at first but then turns to a milky blueish grey hue which kills the atmosphere. If you watch this old build its way darker. Maybe they thought they went too dark or something Edit : I watched some more of that video and some screens are just a black screen with nothing on it ? Darker than DOOM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The skin flapping off heads after you shot them is awesome. So is the massive scar across the face of the poor sod killed by a Licker. Got the Digital Deluxe edition preordered,for the original game’s soundtrack.

one-armed dwarf Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 My finger is on the trigger for that digital deluxe edition. I hate how Capcom do that tho. Basic baiting people with the super expensive editions Playing some REVII right now. I reckon they could put a FP camera into RE2 and do VR if they wanted. I bet the RE2 codebase is full of REVII stuff still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I've played it now. I didn't finish the demo because I'm a slow idiot but I think I've seen enough to come to the current conclusion that's it's pretty good. At first I was disgusted that RE4 controls aren't in it but then I thought "okay RE2 '19, lets do it your way". I don't really like the controls; they're a bit too float-y for my liking but I think I could get used to them. It's just that there is these wide arcs the movement has and navigating these claustrophobic, dark corridors isn't the most ideal. Shooting is fine. I like the pace the cross-hair shrinks into a accurate shot. It doesn't just gradually shrink it stops about 65% for a beat or two then instantly goes into a fully accurate shot. It makes the shooting quite tense as you line up and wait for the cross-hair to indicate a pin point shot. It also looks like there is some long term barricading mechanic which should give managing enemy placements and inventory another dynamic beyond ammo conservation. There looks like there is lots of silly puzzles which don't seem to be straight up lifted from the original so it should even feel quite new even if you've played that one to death. It looks really cool, very serious business unlike the original but that's fine as it seems to be pulling it off pretty well. The atmosphere is great and it has lots of lovely giblets all nicely rendered. I liked the performance of the Lieutenant as well. So I guess I will be picking this up sometime. And here is me playing kinda badly in a panic: For context I thought there might be a stealth kill mechanic for some reason then I got in a bit of a shooty panic. But it made me laugh a bit when I shot him as he was getting up and the dialogue synced up quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I had my go with the demo. I found the controls ok so kept with the default. Leon plays surprisingly heavy, a bit slow to turn around. Not overly keen on the 30 minute limit - I ended not by dying but by running out of time because I got lost trying to find my way back to the main hall. I found a key I needed but didn’t have the space to carry it, so needed to get back to the item box but got stuck and couldn’t figure out how I got from the main hall to where I was. Generally impressed though. I think it would’ve been better to have a demo that ended once you got to a certain point, rather than time it.

OCH Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I like the way old demos used to do it. You got to the cue for a Boss Fight or opened a certain door and the screen transitions into "Thanks for Playing, Coming soon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeFour Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I avoided the demo. It's something I'm definitely buying anyway as I enjoy the Resi games. Even the *cough* lesser ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle_Class_Hero Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Played Leon first in the original. I’ll probably do the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle_Class_Hero Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 One question for the demo delvers - Does it say “RESIDENT EEEEEVIL” in a spooky voice when you press start? As far as I’m concerned, Resident Evil 7 was a complete failure due to this exclusion. I don’t want RE2 Remake going the same way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
