Replaying: Resident Evil 1 (Original)

I believe HecRPD is doing both. Though I do not know the legal ramifications for doing such a mod.

Well there will be a few things that will trouble the PC DC mod. One would be camer angles, two would be forests AI and thirdly would be the scenario scripts.

Most of the enemy/item data can be ripped from the DC RDTs and the PC version can handle 10+ enemies on screen at a time but truth be told I think the PC version is pretty dead. Its hard to get it to run perfectly. Even running something in the background to slow it, it still will speed up and slow down. Then there is the annoying timer going down too fast at the end.

There already is an RE2 PC demo which pretty much follows the same path as the PSX version though

Enrico, I didn't have any issues if I ran it in 95 compatibility mode along with SILENCE.wav from Markgrass in the background.

I did a Jill run on Rebirth DS. I didn't use the grenade launcher once, and by the end I had so much ammo for everything. I was able to run through the labs killing everything using the magnum. The amount of ammo that mode throws around is really unbalanced.

I've tried running mine both ways. It works and is playable but I find sometimes it will speed up a tad for a few seconds. Really annoying when it comes to the end timer.

Yup. At the start of the game in that mode, I need only use the handgun for a short time. After that, there's enough shotgun ammo to use that throughout the game, then later, as you say, the magnum. The lab section is pretty much running through it, headshotting each zombie with the magnum.

I know this will sound stupid, but how do you find Barry on REDC with Chris?

[Enrico Marini]

What about using the knife? Since RE4 I've been more cheeky in RE games. Killing stuff with a knife. Though I wouldn't take on a hunter with a knife, that'd be silly. My favourite is putting cerberus out of his misery with a knife. Though shooting them once then run up and knife works like a treat. I killed Yawn in the piano room with the knife cos he was being silly on DS. Kept circling me, I couldn't move but his head couldn't get me so I knifed away.

Chris never meets Barry in his scenario in any RE1.

You don't. Ever. You never even find a curling beard hair. Same with Jill, you have no idea Rebecca is even in the mansion.

[Karui]

Pretty big hole in the story isn't it?

[Darkmoon]

Yep. We know both Rebecca (RE2 64's report) and Barry (RE3 ending) make it out, and yet there is no version of the game where you can actually save both. Even in Remake.

Capcom love plot holes. They must be sustinance for them on the long wintery nights.

Don't forget Gaiden. Even though its probably not "Cannon" I'm sure capcom would have waved their little finger about the main protagonist being dead if he never made it out of the mansion.

Knifing a Hunter is fairly easy, you just have to use the pause-cancel technique. Basically you knife a hunter, and just as its hitting him, pause the game and un pause it. You won't have to wait for Chris/Jill to retract the knife and can knife the Hunter again until its dead using that.

Its super lame and I'd never do it, but its kinda interesting to see it done.

Resident Evil's storyline has more holes than a stack of swiss cheese.

Probably almost as lame as jumping down from the ledge in RE4 when mendez stretches to get you. I always hated mendez, till I learned to kill him with just the knife. Half of RE4's knife tactics were a bit lame. Abuse of bad AI.

Well there must be some way to officially knife a hunter. Dogs and zombies are easy. Chimeras are probably a bitch though. Once I get my assignments in. I'm gonna live the DC dream.

Does anyone have any tips on dodging the Snake in the piano room fight?
Im terrible at it.
