What happens if you run out of time?

[Helegad]

We all know there's countdowns at the end of RE1, RE2, and RE3. I've never run out of time before.

If anybody has, can you tell me what happens?

[adamb1029]

You know,ive never delibertly tryed to run out of time
i did once in RE2 but that was to long ago to remember what happens
so..
anyone got the awnser?

[RE-Hiro]

the "you're dead screen appears"... and that's all... i think...

[riderkid]

damn i;ve never seen it either, i barely make it out sometimes though

[Stars_g36]

ya the screen goes black and your dead appears I believe.

[JcFFx]

IIRC, in RE1 it'll cut to the exploding mansion cutscene (Same as in ending) before the 'You Died' screen

RE2 the screen just fades to white

I think RE3's the same as RE2

[REmaster]

Yea, it's pretty dull. I was kind of hoping to see a sad cutscene of some sort. It could be like in Cloverfield
Spoiler:

Chris: Jill, Look at me...I lov-BAM!

Not sure in the RE1 original, but that's indeed what happens in RE2 and RE3. The screen goes white and the "You Died" pops up afterwards.

it's only ever happened to me once before, cause i had a scratch on my RE1 disk and caused a glitch where Brad dropped the Rocket Launcher when i only had 3 seconds left.

i got a disk clean afterwards.

but the mansion exploding plays, and the you died screen come up

[Helegad]

Ah cool

I never had a problem with the time countdown. The most difficult countdown is the one with the Tyrant in RE 1 you have only 2 minutes to take that bastard down.

[Helegad]

You just have to evade him for 2 minutes... then blow him up with the Launcher.

IIRC, shooting him does nothing to slow him down.

[aris13]

If you hit the Tyrant several times Brad will give you the launcher sooner than usual.

[P Anderson DIE]

In the remake I belive it shows an explosion and says you're dead. Like if you run with that nitorous thing. That is better though shows the character blow up.

[TheSelfishGene]

You also get the explosion screen in the remake if you shoot the Forest zombie (the one with grenades).

I haven't let the time run down in Remake but.
