We have a REmake2 clusterfuck thread already >>16061974

>>16062530

it's about SJWs and game journalists and the looks of the characters, none of which are addressed here.

Prithee tell

WHY DOES CLAIRE START WITH A GUN NOW?

>>16062533

because its epic

>>16062533

They're talking about game balance too.

>>16062537

only within the context of feminism

Read the letter from her college friend in the notes. It says Chris taught her combat and shooting skills, so she probably carried the firearm for her trip to Raccoon City.

>>16062611

the snub purse gun is exactly the kind of thing a overbearing gun-nut brother would get his little sis

still doesn't explain the time discrepancy like OP mentioned

>>16062625

Because it's not the gun OP thinks it is. It's loosely based on the Smith & Wesson Model 38 Bodyguard (It's 9mm in game and upgradable to .357 instead of .38 special)

>>16062508

>instead of the popular glock-like model of the original

>forgetting that Claire had a Browning Hi-Power and Leon had the Glock

>>16062901

look at this know-it-all

>>16062901

>forgetting that Claire had a Browning Hi-Power and Leon had the Glock

Leon had a HK VP70, the same he has this time. Also, no PSX Resident Evil had Glocks.

fuck off shill

>>16063813

>no PSX Resident Evil had Glocks.

except survivor

>>16062533

WOMAN CAN HAVE GUNS TOO SHITLORD

Didnt she have the .38 in the original?

>>16064259

no just a browning high power or a single action army

>>16062508

>"Why does Claire already have a gun in the opening?"

>Has brother in specialized police force

Gee OP, I wonder why. It's almost like she comes from a family that isn't afraid of the police or guns.

>But then have a massive visible gun holster out at all times

It's a gameplay contrivance that you're reading too far into because you're autistic. If you're gonna ask that question you might as well ask why the larger weapons magnetize to their back instead of having a strap. The answer is IT'S A VIDEO GAME YOU STUPID SHIT

>>16063776

>OP gets called out

>Doubles down instead of admitting his mistake

Like clockwork.

>>16064352

>issue with technology

Its nanomachines

>why isn't my game about zombies, giant fish and super saiyans realistic

Faggot

>>16064407

because chris has one like it and she forever lusts for his incest baby

>>16062533

Why wouldnt she?

It isnt illegal, shes a biker chick alone on a roadtrip to find her brother, said brother is a badass police officer/swat/weird japanese bullshit and ex-military that taught his sister how to defend herself and ride bikes, there is no reason for her not to have a gun.

>>16065491

Who fucking cares. Where she got the firearm has literally no real bearing on the story; it was just an excuse for them to both start with one.

>>16065510

it is a fundamental character change

How does she load the gun without the moon clips I thought it cannot work without having the moon clips as it is 9mm.

They are very lovely revolvers though and in a pistol caliber.

>>16066391

So's her ugly face.

>>16066391

No, it really isn't.

>>16066401

The Ruger isn't the gun she uses in the game.

>>16066452

she goes from

>innocent girl who doesn't carry guns, hates violence and has trouble even killing a ZOMBIE the first time

to

>biker chick who open carries and probably has killed non-zombies before

>>16066994

She was a biker girl carrying around a huge knife in the original gamez,what are you smoking?

>>16066994

Yeah, you've never fucking played the original game, have you?

>>16067157

She obviously had a big knife to look cool while opening up packages.

>>16066994

>innocent

>biker

>sister of Chris "26 times stronger than God Himself" Redfield

>openly carries a fuckhueg bayonet a chest holster even when she doesn't have a gun

>crack shot as soon as she touches a gun

>expertly uses some kind of miniature crossbow

>can reload a thumper without missing a beat while some kind of mutated abomination is sprinting at her

Nigger, she's such a murder expert, you'd think she's an African warlord in her free time.

>coming back from especially annoying part of the sewers

>"haha we decided to spawn a zombie around the corner in this area that was previously empty"

>die

Wow, bad game design. Now THAT's scary.

>>16062625

It doesn't look anything like a Ruger LCR. It looks more like a S&W J frame, considering the size in her hands and the pronounced, rounded back end of it. Look up hammerless J frames and you'll see some that look more like it. Also her gun is very clearly nickel plated, not black plastic like LCRs. I don't even know that much about revolvers but it's definitely not an LCR.

As far as the anachronism of open carry in the late 90s, I don't think it's that big a deal. She's not black, and the cops probably wouldn't hassle her too much if they caught her with it. Plus the "my brother is a cop" excuse would work, especially if she was stopped around Racoon City.

>>16064253

A Puerto Rican arming themselves with a gun instead of a knife makes absolutely no sense.

>>16064352

>is it just me or is there an issue with technology?

Well one's a police force working in a converted art museum while the other is a secret scientific organization with billions.

>>16064849

Flashdrives did exist at the time they were just very limited and weren't popular yet.

>>16064849

>It was strange seeing a USB flashdrive though.

It was for me too until I searched it and found out USB 1.0 was designed and produced in early 1996, so it's not weird for them to have one. It is weird it being a fucking S.T.A.R.S. badge though.

>>16062533

Anon, you need to read the letter she has in her inventory at the absolute start of the game in her A scenario. It's from a friend who's telling her to watch out and to not get raped and talks about how Chris trained her and she's tough and whatever.

Point is, her older brother is this Captain America-esque super solider that was a USAF captain at 19 or some shit and then went into Delta. He would've absolutely taught his younger sister how to carry a gun.

Calm your tits.

>Where did she get it?

she's a young woman who frequently travels alone on motorcycle who's older brother is a cop and grew up without parents, she likely learned to use a firearm from chris to protect herself and her starter gun is her travel gun in case some one wants to get frisky with her at a truck stop

>>16064849

I don't find it far fetched that umbrella founded S.T.A.R.S would get some fancy badge USBs. The 2006 nissan altima in the garage is pretty strange though

>>16081939

>>"haha we decided to spawn a zombie around the corner in this area that was previously empty"

>spawn

its there in that corner the whole time, he just wakes up when you return with the chess pieces or shoot him ahead of time

>>16064352

The only goofy technology in the game to me was the lab and how impossibly huge it was in terms of the earthworks project to hollow all of that space and those exposed scifi bullshit reactor things in the Main Shaft. Everything else felt fairly believable. Even though the little ID wristbands are an immense security risk, as demonstrated by how you progress.

>>16082162

>The only goofy technology in the game to me was the lab

That has to be there though. Yeah they made it way bigger but I don't find it particularly more or less goofy from the original. After all, Resident Evil was always camp to a certain extent.

>>16082193

I'm not saying the lab itself was goofy I think they actually nailed what a super high-tech lab in the late 90s would look like, but rather that the huge, cavernous spaces carved out beneath Raccoon City are ridiculous. Not even Deus Ex's secret underground bases are that fucking huge.

>>16062510

new looks like zoey from l4d on no mercy poster, her old design was better

>>16081939

I know which zombie exactly you are talking about because I lost over half an hour of progress on a Leon B S+ attempt because of that guy when I was carelessly sprinting down the stairs like a moron. He's NOT spawned after you return, in fact he will be lying on the ground the first time you pass him and on subsequent runs I learned to blow off a leg off him in particular.

>>16083025

Eh, at least I still enjoy videogames. Remember when you did that, faggot?

>>16062508

Her brother went missing after reporting on a bunch of bioweapons in the local area. Claire would have to be stupid to not take a weapon with her while searching for him.

The games more modern, it has USB items so it can't be 1998

USB existed but common sense says you don't use a new technology on your armory. You use reliable tech you know always works, in a power cut or IT errors. Not a USB dongle.

>>16083060

Nigger I think RE went down the drain since RE4, hence the sage. Stop acting like a fucking retard.

>>16083085

1. Game's shit

2. There's already an RE thread

3. Denuvo

If you're going to accuse everybody in the thread of being a shill, why would you bump the shill thread?

If you have enough time to stalk from thread to thread whining about people enjoying a game you need to get a goddamn job.

>>16083083

Try not being a racist.

Game rules.

Youre just trash.

Try getting out more you ignorant fuckwit.

>>16083010

I find the original soundtracj to be extremely distracting to the surroundings. New industrial soundtrack fits the setting better.

Also implying you have to pay for the soundtrack when you can just mod it in on pc.

>>16083111

>Try not being a racist

Now it's a bait thread

>>16083110

>My job starts at 11am

Your paper round isn't a job. Get a fucking job.

>>16083110

>>16083176

How strange. It's like this poster lies.

Enjoy turning 30 and realising you wasted the best years of your life watching gook cartoons and throwing tantrums on image boards no one remembers or cares.

>>16083195

He's right. You're going to end up killing yourself before 40.

>>16083190

>>16083258

Imagine being this mad that you have to work a job lmao

>>16083274

I'm not even mad. But imagine trying to defend your meaningless life as much as you are. In 10 or 15 years when you realize nobody will want you, because you have no goals or hobbies aside from video games and anime, no future and nothing to talk about, you're going to be pretty lonely. I am happy I have a job, and one I like at that. I tried the neet life for a year awhile back and it was the most depressed I ever was. You don't even get enough money to eat properly, nevermind being able to buy anything.

>took 7:32 hours to beat Leon A

Tell me I'm good guys.

>>16083069

It should have been a floppy disk. I would have loved to see some floppy disks in this game.

Collect floppies with Doom, Gobliiins and Lemmings on it.

So what are the requirements for S+?

Is it the same as S rank, but you can only save 3 times?

>>16083307

Same time limit as S, but save only 3 times.

>>16062508

>durr hurr why she need 2 carry gun around

In America, we have this thing, called niggers.

>handgun ammo

Yes and no. They compromised by making all handgun ammo 9mm while making Claire's gun a 9mm revolver, a hilariously uncommon and shitty weapon by today's standard.

The bigger anachronism is the STARS PC taking a USB key. It was out, but only for a couple years and was not popular at all.

>>16083337

Yur gun changes in the B scenario more. You get a 45 ACP gun with either Leon or Claire. the game is realistic in that 9mm is 9mm.

>>16082154

High security and corporate security usually don't employ new technology though. They employ technology which is proven. It would have made more sense if the STARS armory key were a CD-R instead of a USB drive.

>>16083337

That guy was there, he was just asleep I know exactly which room and zombie you are talking about

>>16083354

Fuck, meant for

>>16081939

>>16083339

You get a .45 ACP gun yes, which is only weird to me because Claire once again gets a better weapon than Leon. She gets a single-action army revolver that can be fired as quickly as you can pull the trigger while Leon gets a 1911 that has serious delay between shots.

Which despite the reload time is really good because it means that you can dump 6 shots into a zombie real fast and get a guaranteed stagger that lets you run past it. The real crime regarding guns in this game is that Claire gets all the good ones.

>>16083360

You kidding? You only need potentially one round to stagger a zombie. The SAA is a total waste of time. I agree with you on every other weapon though. The Browning Hi Power especially blows everything else that uses handgun ammo out of the water.

>>16083360

The deagle is the best gun in the game. The flamethrower is also better than the nade launcher. Shotgun is amazing.

>>16083391

As it has already been pointed out ITT:

>why does Claire now carries a gun?

<because niggers

>>16083371

The SMG outputs more damage to big monsters, which is the only thing you bother using the magnum on anyway. The nade launcher is better than the flamethrower because you can use it to stun multiple lickers at once with an acid round, or kill them with a second acid round. Flamers take time to stun things with the "Oh shit I'm on fire" animation. The flamer is better for clearing out the plant zombies but you can usually avoid them anyway.

>>16083371

The flamethrower is just silly efficient in comparison to the grenade launcher. It saves so much ammo against the plant monsters, but the grenade launcher is a safer weapon to use against faster enemies.

>>16081939

Shoot sleeping zombies before they get up. If that zombie is causing so much trouble, cripple or kill it when it's still on the ground.

>>16083298

>When a game doesn't exactly remake the original but makes a stellar game it's wrong.

And yet you bitch about CoD rereleases over and over.

>>16083360

Upgraded matlida is rape on legs.

>>16083517

How retarded are you? Flame throwers lack of range and stagger makes it the worst weapon to deal with the plant zombies. They will insta kill you if they grab you and the flame thrower doesn't have a way to stop them doing so. ?You have to hope they die before you use a sub weapon. This becomes almost impossible in B scenario with Mr X chasing you.

>>16081939

The game put a single jump scare in the game that you can avoid if you pay attention. It's not a huge deal.

>>16083547

>How retarded are you?

I could ask you the same question. Plant zombies will cancel their grab if they start their pain animation which means even if you stand still the flamer has enough range to get them flailing before they can kill you. Maybe you're the retarded one that waits way too long to use the flamethrower when they're already in range? I have literally never been killed by a plant zombie that was on fire. Sorry anon.

>>16064577

Go on…

>>16083575

Try scenario b where Mr X is right on you and it spawns 2 of them at the corner intersection and then 1 on the return journey from the hanging corpse room.

>>16083337

>Her original design features a biker jacket

Bitch isn't a real biker. she wasn't even wearing her leathers when she rode to Raccoon City. As the completely canon S.D. Perry novelization of the events of Resident Evil 2 tells us.

>>16083633

I beat scenario B. I flamed the first one that blocks the intersection until he started flailing, then ran past, Mr. X punched me and missed so I had enough time to flame the next one and run to the lobby. This was on hardcore of course. You suck at video games anon, I'm sorry.

>>16083722

>I had plenty of time when I start by saying how I didn't have time and got attacked

>>16083730

>I can't dodge a single punch from Mr. X because I'm bad at video games

>A single difficult scenario means a weapon is worthless

Digging yourself deeper.

>>16083747

>The only situation the weapon is useful in is where it's worse than shooting with a pistol and dancing past.

>>16083777

You literally just pulled that statement out of your ass, much like those trips. Nice try though.

>>16083792

The flame thrower doesn't stagger fast enough, if you shoot a bulb it staggers them. One of these is effective

>>16083804

You are picking apart a single scenario in the entire game as if it is the definitive benchmark of weapon effectiveness. Yes, a pistol works there, so does the shotgun and SMG. So what? You aren't going to use your flamer ammo for anything else but G virus stage 3 from that point on, which you only need about 200 ammo for anyway, which they give you 100 of in the arena. Its highly effective against that boss by the way, because you can flame him while he does his flailing rage attacks in his last form and theres no need to aim for his eye-heart thing.

It's also effective against the sewer monsters when you need to leave the flamethrower room. Totally fucking useless against the Mr. X fight though.

>>16083854

might play thru resident evil, where does this fit in as far as chronological order goes?

>>16083893

well the chronicles take place across multiple games, mainly RE1 RE0 and RE3, shame its only on consoles like every other RE spinoff game

Honestly can't see why anyone would really dislike the game, other than not having fixed angles if that's what you were itching for. I've only finished Leon A and it's a damn good game thus far.

>>16088366

It looks like a fine game, just not what I was wanting. I wanted something pretty specific, so I'm not surprised that it didn't turn out that way. Just let down. As usual.

>>16088373

What would've you specifically wanted?

I also keep thinking about the RE2 fan remake that got scrapped because this was being made, it looked more like a RE4 in RE2 setting, which I was afraid this would be but hasn't felt like it yet.

>>16088366

Less enemy variety than the original is the main thing that I recognize as a major complaint. The game's strongest point is how it "translated" the original game design concepts to a 3rd person shooter. For example there are no tank controls, but movement is still clunky and slow as fuck. If you are running, turning is extremely slow unless you tap the quick turn button and a direction, and even then you can only quick turn anywhere to the 180 degree arc in front or straight behind. You can aim at zombie heads, but popping heads is still RNG and it still takes an average of 5 or 6 handgun shots to kill a zombie. On paper a lot of the things they did honestly sound like terrible ideas, but they managed to work it into a modern game that still "feels" like a classic RE game, which is what actually impresses me.

>>16088442

Oh yeah and the soundtrack could have had more presence, although I thought the tracks were pretty decent when they actually played.

>>16088442

No spiders in the sewers (replaced with the mutants I guess) and no actual plant enemies, just plant zombies, other than that I'm drawing a blank on which other enemies there were in the original. Dark lickers? I guess the abundance of zombies is that because the areas are a lot less tight in many places, there needed to be more of them and you just gotta work around or incapacitate them.

>>16082205

>a smart puerto rican

Which is why it doesn't make sense.

>>16083069

S.T.A.R.S. is de facto an added safety net for Umbrella, their job is literally controlled opposition, they would be the first on the scene of anything weird and Wesker could contain/suppress/interfere and make sure nothing ever gets out.

It makes sense they would have outfitted them with a "mainstream but cutting edge" for their secure lockers.

The 1 floor secure lockers is much more realist but it's not secure one bit (you punch the safe N° you grab shit fro the safe/locker) of course it's in a police station so that's about what I except the real thing to be.

But if you have a building with essentially two separate entities with their own stuff you want to make sure one doesn't get access to the other, especially since their computers might have Umbrella related reports, and the lockers evidence.

So yeah personal security dongle in the badge seems a realist enough way to do that.

And yes USB dongles for secure access was a thing in 1998, secure dongle are about as old as personal computers.

>>16088465

Crows and the moth, but they were really only in one room.

>>16088544

They werent separate entities, chris and the rest were all RPD, they were just a special team.

>>16088696

When you get to the plant 43 room, I thought the plant holding the scientist was the moth at first.

>>16088544

>>16088696

They were separate entities. STARS is a mercenary spec ops team masquerading as a SWAT-like police force. The RPD serves as little more than their hiding place. Chief Irons was basically the only person who knew about this aside from Umbrella employees. Leon was supposed to be a naive rookie signing up with the RPD to do normal cop things, not knowing what the fuck would happen in the town.

>>16089400

>STARS is a mercenary spec ops team masquerading as a SWAT-like police force.

But they werent?

They were a specialist division from the RPD, they got their funding from umbrella but only the police chief, the mayor andcwesker knew it, for everyone else theyvwere just police/rescue+ SWAT.

Hell, kevin from oubreak tried to join but failed the tests.

What youre thinking of sounds more like the UBCS.

it's just a video game lol

>>16089455

>Cops only shoot black people, poor blacks!

Get out, /leftypol/

>>16089455

>>16089451

>>16089442

>what is subtlety

>u-uuh it's in the LOGO, STUPID!

Yeah okay, Irons was controlled by Umbrella and STARS is coincidentally the first ones there to clean up after their shit, but they're not related. Sure.

>>16089503

>and STARS is coincidentally the first ones there to clean up after their shit

That actually was the USS as you can see in 0.

The S.T.A.R.S. were sent in after a bunch of hikers and families in the outskirts of the arklay mountains were killed by "cannibals".

>>16089503

I'm not debating that STARS was under some (almost total) degree of Umbrella influence. But saying that they weren't a part of RPD is stupid. They were clearly a specialized unit of the RPD and under RPD jurisdiction.

>>16089527

>purified Africa

>while working alongside an African

I strongly disagree.

>>16089520

I admit I have only played RE 1-5 and Revelations, not 0.

>>16089522

It sounded more like the guy I was originally replying to was saying "STARS is totally a legit police unit." I don't know if STARS is supposed to have existed before Umbrella, but it seems to me, given the tiny size of the town of Raccoon City which does not need a militarized police force, that their real purpose is to deal with any unforeseen consequences from Umbrella fuck ups.

>>16062510

They look like teens in the right pic.

>>16089573

> not 0.

Well you can see how the USS fucked up there.

>that their real purpose is to deal with any unforeseen consequences from Umbrella fuck ups.

That is correct, but theit members didnt know that and they were not mercs, rather a mixture of military, police and civilian specialists.

I'm loving this mode for some reason. I think it's a combination of the music and Hunk being so damn cool.

>>16089629

It's because out of all the characters in the series, HUNK is the only one who doesn't really show off. Leon and Claire help others and in later games they're able to do some cool moves, like roundhouse kicks. HUNK, even in the RAID and Survival modes, just attacks to get it done. In this game he doesn't panic when a zombie keeps moving, or if Mr. X shows up. He removes obstacles and makes his way around it. There's a theory his code name stands for Human Unit Never Killed and I'd believe it.

>>16089581

Claire is a teenager in RE2, in fairness. And Leon's only 21 at the time so he's not far off either.

>>16089629

He's my favourite RE character. I'd like to see them eventually get around to making that cancelled HUNK game that was supposed to be set on a cruise liner, but I guess a game focused on him might ruin his mystique a bit.

>>16083547

>And yet you bitch about CoD rereleases over and over.

A remake is meant to be a remake, changing the game completely for the sake of change and fucking it up in the process is retarded.

The problem with CoD is that releases reskins of older games as a different game and gets the devs rich because people only play for the multiplayer and a new games makes the previous' obsolete.

Those are two completely different situations.

>>16089573

0 is bad, don't play it.

>>16064352

Yeah, this bothered me too. I liked the older laboratory design because the level of technology and engineering seemed more believable and made immersion easier.

>>16082162

>those exposed scifi bullshit reactor things in the Main Shaft

Something similar was in the original game in the center shaft.

Does anyone know if the Marshalling Yard and the parts leading up to it are completely absent? That was one of my favourite parts. It was cool to see that large train turntable/elevator thing back in Zero when that came out, I was hoping to see it remade in this, following Zero's presentation as a blueprint.

Tram leading up to it starts at 01:50:01 in the embedded video.

>>16089899

The Claire A final boss is fought in an arena with the train, looks a bit like a turntable. 16:50 onwards.

Leon A boss is on a big open elevator moving down a slope, like the elevator in Akira or MGS1.

>>16064407

>is a chest knife holster

>knife not actually exposed to face

You and OP are clearly related. You're both fucking retarded.

>>16064577

Leon had one in RE4 and Claire never shows signs of muh incest brocon lover shit, just your daily dose of reality.

>>16081939

It didn't spawn there, he was unconscious. It is bullshit however that zombies back no fucking nose to let you know what they are doing off screen like in the original game. If you're going to complain about zombies, complain about how they have a bullshit double lunge range.

>>16081955

And this! Dubs don't lie, lab was still easy as fuck.

>>16082143

>that spacing

>retarded post

Why am I not surprised? His rank and position in the air force is never explained, he never joined Delta (that was Jill you moron). Also this was the days before Chris was a boulder puncher, so it's not really canon in the original storyline.

>>16082193

>but I don't find it particularly more or less goofy from the original. After all, Resident Evil was always camp to a certain extent.

That's because you're retarded, the area was much more enclosed than originally and required less effort to suspends one's disbelief. Also "RE was always camp so this justifies the retarded direction they have taken" is an ancient and shitty argument.

>>16083010

>the graphics are mind-blowing

No they aren't.

>the gameplay and animations are top notch

No it isn't. The limited set of animations also become extremely old and irritating with how much time they take up. They also fucked up one important mechanic from the original game that made it better than the 1st one, and that was staggering groups of zombies when you took a bite (you are more likely to stagger a zombie from a counter item animation) and thus it's more annoying to escape from a tight spot. Also making everything dark with a non-toggle flashlight isn't fucking scary. This is lazy ass fucking nuGame design done to compensate for lack of atmosphere, this includes any sort of iconic soundtrack that helped the original game age so well.

2/10 shit post

>>16083066

How can a non-shill even pretend to like this garbage? The zombies look and sound like something out of The Walking Dead. Where are the cowmoans and slow shambling noises?

When was the last time a proper classic Survival-Horror game came out? Especially from this franchise in particular which just had a stellar re-release of their GameCube games. Also there is more difference between RE2 and 3 than there is between most Call of Duty games, get the fuck out of here. Resident Evil 2 should be a classic survival-horror game, period.

They do mostly shoot blacks but only because niggers commit most violent crime.

Not buying the game anytime soon, but I wanted to see how Irons dies. How is it that a game with current year technology has quite a dissapointing death? In the old game, the bug ripped him apart all the way to the shoulder, that was fucking gruesome even with said old graphics, and now it burst from his chest and scuttled away, like it's fucking embarrassed to being there. He's an obvious villain even back then, but the new version that looks like Butterfield with heavy rings under the eyes is like overcompensating.
