I might try an S+ hardcore run this weekend.

Got through Claire A last night with an S rank on normal but had a disaster of time finishing off G3 and ran out of ammo to fight G4 for the countdown sequence.

End up using the knife to finish him off with about 30 secs left on the clock.

My first time with G4 I wasted a lot of ammo and the fight took far longer than it should have too. Second time round, I took him down with only the minigun (with about 150 rounds left) and I think maybe two grenades. Just have to focus completely on the eyes, everything else is a waste of ammo.

Oh ya, I was spraying and praying really and missed a decent amount or hit his back.

I only used the knife as I had zero ammo and amazingly, just as he was about to start climbing up to jump off the side, the knife done its job, until it broke and he was crawling around the platform floor with the clock ticking down, was quiet a tense wait to see if he'd die or would I have to tackle it again.

Penn · 13-02-2019 8:53pm

Phew... Got the S+ and minigun. Cutting it close enough at 2:21. Could have cut a few minutes off that but spent too long before the last two boss fights at inventory management, combining herbs and gunpowders I'd picked up throughout the game and just banked for later. Plus remembered at the last second I didn't bring the sparkshot for the last fight, so had to go back to the box and do more rearrangement. Ended up not even using it, minigun and a few grenades did the job.

Loaded a previous save of Leon just before the G3 fight on standard to test out the minigun on him and the final boss. Shredded them

Don't know if I can bring myself to go for the rocket launcher. Not for now anyway, maybe further down the line.

Survivor DLC is out on Friday.

Cant wait for this DLC... and its free. Bravo Capcom.

GavRedKing · 14-02-2019 10:18am

Free DLC, 2 of the best words in gaming.

No Microtransactions is the second best

Ya, Capcom have been rewarded for releasing a god quality SP game without much jazzy add ons.

The original soundtrack and different versions apart, they are things people can choose to buy and it wont make a massive difference to the game experience between standard or gold/deluxe versions.

I'm all on board for a RE3 remake too.

Ideally, a new RE with this engine, an RE8 of sorts would be brilliant too but im happy to sip at the cup of nostalgia for now.

Somedaythefire · 14-02-2019 2:33pm

Well 7 came out a couple of years ago using this engine :P

RE3 was never a legit a sequel. More like 2.5 as it used a lot of the same locations and ran concurrent to RE2. I dont think we will be waiting too long for the RE3 Remake because a lot of the work is already done but I hope that they continue on with new games as well.

J. Marston · 14-02-2019 4:00pm

Move on with RE4 remake. I want to suplex zombies in eye-watering detail.

Ya, I think with RE2 being a success, they'll push RE3 out in the next 12/18months if they can.

Shame, it was the best since 4 in my opinion.

That is not a difficult feat. 5 was very forgettable and I skipped 6 since it looked even worse than 5.

1. RE3
2. RE4
3. RE2
4. RE1

IMO this is the best list of the RE games with Code Veronica just outside the bracket. The remake of 2 is better than them all but until the others are remade I wont include it in my list.

My rating would be 2,4,7,3,1. I love all 5 games so the ranking changes all the time depending on my most recently played. CV is one of my least favourites. Thought it was nonsense and Steve was terrible. Arguably the start of all the bizarre stuff that was continued post 4.

GavRedKing · 14-02-2019 7:15pm

My list is

RE2
RE3
RE4
RE1

I do agree though, anything post 4 and I enjoyed 5 to a degree, was a bit meh.

I even remember playing 4 and thinking it was "much".

Somedaythefire · 14-02-2019 7:27pm

I think 7 really recaptures the magic of the pre 4 games

A buddy of mine was onto to me to try it so I might get it off him over the coming next weeks.

After I'm done with the remake, I've not much else on the back catalogue.

I've put off buying it on countless PSN sales too.

gimli2112 · 14-02-2019 7:39pm

my List is

RE2 it was just awesome and improved on the original in many ways
RE1 groundbreaking and if I was in a different mood this may be top
RE3 there really is very little between all 3 for me
RE4 This was once my number one but it's dated horribly. I think it just stunned me on release,was a leap forward at the time
ReV2 My foray back thoroughly enjoyable romp
RE7 never played it but it's good enough to make the list. I actually watched a radbrad play through

I played Veronica and liked it then but remember nothing of it and can't "list" it now
RE5 tried starting it several times and failed every time

The remake of 1 is a better game than 1 but I'm leaving them equal, same with 2. Nostalgia is too powerful and of course the remakes will be better because of their starting points, tech advances etc

actually I played Rev 2 and really enjoyed it. Also have Zero and Rev 1 but haven't played much of them and no real desire to

Sorry but I disagree that RE3 used a lot of the same locations it had a downtown map that was quite big for the time
It also had a
clock tower
Hospital
Raccoon city park
Waste disposal factory

There’s also a Worm boss
And Mercenaries for the very first time
Gun power mixing
Dodge mechanic

It simply reused the rpd hallways on the left side and that was it everything else was completely brand new they even rechanged all the zombies no zombies from re2 was just pasted in.

RE3s locations could be greatly expanded on with today’s tech in that engine.

The hospital is a location RE has never really got its teeth into that area has lots of potential.
Same with the park both areas could be really creepy in this engine with these new zombies and I haven’t even mentioned nemesis yet oh boy the things they could do with him nowadays is panic inducing LOL.

So yeah I think RE3 has great potential to be really expanded upon maybe even when in RPD you could bring the shutters down during a chase with nemesis and you realize is was Jill who brought them down when you first enter rpd in RE2.

What time does the dlc release?

Penn · 15-02-2019 9:53am

I think they could definitely remake RE3. After that though, I don't see more remakes happening. The change in graphics and gameplay between RE3 and RE4 was so huge that a remaster in the same way wouldn't be as justifiable. They could potentially do Code Veronica but as it's not a numbered sequel, it might not have the same appeal and marketability.

I'd say they'll remake RE3, and then for RE8 make it a bit of a mashup between RE7 and the remakes of RE2 & RE3. Take the best elements from all.

Never played RE3 so would really look forward to a remake of it in the style of the RE2 remake.

Not sure, looking for it at the moment.

gimli2112 · 15-02-2019 9:57am

I think it's practically been guaranteed RE3 remake is green lit, if not progressing as we type. RE3 would have a massive nostalgic pull much greater than CV. I'd prefer a remake of Dino Crisis over CV, myself.

I do think they could rejig 4, improve the controls and make a lot of money out of a remake, without having to change too much.

RE2 has turned me remake crazy, they should remake everything.

Vicxas · 15-02-2019 12:22pm

Free is the key word here, not a 9.99 moneygrab

Haha yeah I'd happily throw my money at a Silent Hill 2 remake at the moment, that was up there with classic RE games for creeping the life out of me back in the day!

ancapailldorcha · 15-02-2019 5:18pm

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how often the game autosaves? I've had a few crashes over the past few weeks. Something to consider when planning an S-rank run.

GavRedKing · 15-02-2019 8:53pm

RopeDrink wrote: »

The autosaves happen at key locations rather than on a timer. As such, you can typically run through the game (on any normal difficulty) without using the typewriter. You can be sent back a fair bit but only to the last relevant check-point, eg. transitioning to a new area, or before boss-fights, or before specific puzzles.

As for the DLC, completed Run Away and Kendo's scenarios. Both are very short, as expected, but at least speed-runners and perfectionists can unlock funny masks and items to spice up their future attempts. As always, Steam forum is exploding in hate. You just can't please some people.

Its free.

I've no idea why people would bloody bother moaning, its worse if they were charging for it.

GavRedKing · 15-02-2019 8:55pm

Which is the best Character/Scenario for a stab at an S+ Rank on Hardcore?

I've nearly finished Leon B at the moment so looking to get a few goodies/trophies to clear it fully.

Vicxas · 16-02-2019 7:52am

So i messed up on Leon B

Didn't run upstairs and grab the armory keycard and i triggered Mr.X so now i need to run back and get it with no way to avoid him if he comes after me, and i will cry. Manly tears.

ancapailldorcha · 16-02-2019 11:47am

You should be ok. Can you lead him to the Western Corridor where the STARS room is and leg it through to lose him? That's my usual tactic.

BeerWolf · 16-02-2019 5:16pm

DLC; How the heck do you deal with the corridors with numerous armored zombies while playing as Lone Soldier?!

omerin · 16-02-2019 6:41pm

Is it correct that if you get to the underground carpark and go back to the police station that you can't to back to the carpark again? For me the enterance is blocked and doing some searching online it seems that I will need to start again

Playing Leon

The entrance activated by The medals with close but the way Ada went should be open. By the West hall I think with all the open windows.

omerin · 16-02-2019 7:08pm

thanks I'll give it a try

Sandor Clegane · 16-02-2019 9:35pm

I obviously got lucky with the chemical puzzle the first couple of times because now I can't seem to do it and it's riving me insane.

16-02-2019 11:43pm

I managed to kill the croc at 2 hours 4 minutes on Leon B

Am I goosed trying to get 3.30 S+?

I've been running like a madman!

Not played the dlc yet but looks great.

Is it not 3 hours for S+ on B runs and 3.5 hours on an A run.

Yeah it's 3 hours for Scenario B for the S+. Not impossible, but if it's taken 2 hours to get to the Croc, I wouldn't fancy your chances.

J. Marston · 17-02-2019 6:11pm

On my second run-through of Leon A. At 1:20 just as I'm about to start the croc chase.

S+ (or S, whichever gives the infinite pistol) doable?

Standard or Hardcore? Should be fine either way, but could be tight for Hardcore. I was about 1:10 when I reached the sewers with Claire A Hardcore and finished at 2:21 (2:30 for the S+ on Hardcore). But I did lose a bit of time in the lab with some silly mistakes and lots of unnecessary inventory management.

Standard. Hardcore is beyond me!

I just want a leisurely run-though the B stories with the infinite pistol.

Honestly, I was anxious about Hardcore too, but it's not that bad. You de-leg zombies rather than headshot, and just outright avoid where possible. A good guide really helps, it'll reduce encountering zombies unnecessarily. The hardest part is less inventory space.

But yeah, you should definitely be fine for Standard then. The infinite pistol will help for the B scenarios, but is ultimately just a pistol. Might not be as big a help as you think.

Its not, for the likes of G2 Birkin a non upgraded pistol is useless, despite it being infinite.

Claires revolver from her B scenario is quite unreal even with its slow reload time.

Running a no box run on Claire B, so much stress over inventory management.

gimli2112 · 18-02-2019 9:14am

The World's slowest S-run continued over the weekend. Beat Birkin 2 on a second try. He's pretty spry for a big guy. Used one too many grenades, flash (tossed over the edge), mixed herb and acid round but got over the line.
At the labs now in just under an hour and 50 minutes. I must have taken a detour in the RPD for stuff but still well on track.

I must be doing it wrong. Like I mean I literally ran like a madman and rushed like hell. And only got to the croc at 2 hours

Also, anyone finding the DLC like really really hard?
Although I've still to get to the end of 4th survivor. :pac:

I'm still on Claire so no Crocodile activity. I reckon I lost about 20 minutes - 1/2 an hour somewhere and I've no idea where. Took the sparkshot, MG and the extra back pack from the rpd storage locker which would have added a bit of time, actually now I look at it this probably added 10 minutes maybe more.
There's huge sections of the game you can cut out like

the key that opens two doors in the sewers.

I don't think I left anything critical behind.....think
