RPD Dispatch 1 - Playing RE3

[Helegad]

Nice! Is it wireless?

I use my PS3 controller with RE3 lol

[Enrico Marini]

Lol, you can use a gamepad with RE3 PC?

I use a PS2 Joypad with RE3. There is a key mapper within RE3. I've set my keys to match the PSX version.

How do you use a non sidewinder gamepad with the pc version?

I just plug my joypad in before starting RE3, then press F5 to get the options up and one of the tabs is Joypad, you then right click on the boxes next to the actions and Add Key. Then press the key which you want to be assigned.

I like the keyboard controls. They're actually pretty good.

I love the Keyboard layout of RE2/RE3. Its pretty good. Before I got a PSX->USB adapter, I used this key layout for Silent Hill 2, 3, 4 and any other similar games.

Try Xpadder or JoytoKey to map keyboard controls to a gamepad. I prefer Xpadder it is simple to set up and allows just about anything.

GREAT thread!!!
It warms my heart to see one of my all time favorite games, discussed with such enthusiasm
S-Gene, thanks for those tips. I've played the mercenaries countless times but I never even knew about the 'time bonus' pick ups!

[Scott Green]

Scott, do the European versions have the S rank? In the US versions, its gone. The highest rank you can get is A ;(

I've got a video tutorial up for the Mercenaries. Its a guide for Mikhail's version. Its around 22 minutes long ;)

Well the only difference on the PS version was that the blood was grey and dead zombies (lol) disappeared after blinking a few times, sucked. (gamecube and dreamcast are the same as the us version)

As for the main game the highest is rank A.

As for the mercenerias I watched your video and i needa say, really nice quality
Hehe I play quite differently than you but we get pretty much the same result. Oh and I know why you didn't get rank S on it.

For rank S in mercenaries you need to:
-Save all hostages
-get all the secret point
-kill much
-be fast (amount of time left)
-don't use any healing objects... I do not know if this also counts on the ones you have from the start with you, I actually never made it to the end without using one of the first aid sprays

there is also another possibility:
-Save all hostages
-get all the secret point
-kill all enemies, yes all (obviously with the knife)

you can get a knife with carlos and mikhail it's in the item box. You can access it after you cleared mercenaries with all three characters and you bought all weapons.

Well I needa add I never made it with carlos or nicholai, so i can't confirm my statements, I just found them doing some research in the net :p

I'll be sure to post my run once I figure out how to record from my dreamcast

I've slowed down on the replaying, but it's still my favourite! Still get scared when Nemesis is chasing me out-of-sight and that tension music is playing...

Hahaha! Don't we all? =]

It's really awesome for an old game. Although it really annoys me when I'm running from the Nemesis and I run into another monster which either slows me down or gets me killed alltogether. Thats my fault though, I guess. I need to kill everything on sight. >:]

haha reading that i thought that resident evil 3 is probably the game i played through the most and know where every item is where and what happens when (well let's say 80%)

Haha, ditto! RE3 had by far the best replay value for me. I'm still not bored of it.

[Jill Lover]

RE3 it's like REmake, it's perfect.
