I didn't cause I had to look at every nook and cranny...the trip down to memory lane was too much...need to get this gem.

LaWiiG1947d ago

I finished on PC and not Xbox One. I looked at so much stuff and even boarded up the window randomly.

Yeah, it’s gonna be a for sure day one!

“A Lot Of People Didn't Complete The Resident Evil 2 1-Shot Demo”

It’s hard to complete the demo when you have a stupid time limit.

Kosic1944d ago

Didn't find it that difficult. I didn't see a timer on the screen but I didn't stand about waiting for it to end either.

Completed the demo in 19m27sec.

The game felt great. But my first issue was the zombies looked/acted a lot like they came out of dead rising but just polished up a bit.

The demo was really short, but it was a good look at what re2 is on this gen.

CrimsonPheonix1945d ago

Same I didn't care about completing it I jut wanted to look around and catch the vibes

SlagWolf1944d ago (Edited 1944d ago )

Same I played it till time was up. I explored for every piece of ammo and item. I don’t know why they put a time limit in the demo. This isn’t the kind of game I rush through. Either way I enjoyed what I played and sold me on buying it

Most people who buy full games don't even get basic, progression-based achievements/trophies (The Simpsons Movie game has an achievement just for pressing start at the title screen, and that wasn't 100% earned) only a few hours into a game, so this is normal.

Matrix61945d ago

Not surprising to me with a very limited time to play.

ClayRules20121945d ago

For real. I died once, than after not figuring out exactly what I was suppose to do, I saw the map, and that. The one room was red (meaning I hadn’t completed everything in it, and found the window to jump down from. Once I did, I only had 58-59 seconds left and was so annoyed.

CrimsonWing691945d ago

Yea because they didn’t want to rush and complete it. It sure would’ve been nice exploring the environment and trying to solve some of those puzzles at my own pace.

Look, let’s be real a “1-shot” demo is stupid. The only reason I can’t say it’s pointless is in the good ol’ words of Keiji Inafune, “It’s better than nothing!”

ocelot071945d ago

I didn't both on PS4 and PC. PC version I got a little lost (thanks to not spotting the window in office until to late). PS4 one was exploring a little was about to finish just opened the door with the key to return to the main hall and demo ended due to time expiring.

The prevalence of parrying: Why is it so popular?

Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way.  Why?

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

Dudeson55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.

New Resident Evil 2 Remake Fixed Camera Mod Adds A Nostalgic Twist

A new mod brings the highly nostalgic fixed angles to the Resident Evil 2 remake, bringing the game closer to the original 1998 experience.

REmake vs. Resident Evil 2: Which Remake Template is Better?

REmake kept the original style adding new flavour and graphics, Resident Evil 2 is a complete modernisation. Which remake style is superior?

TheBrainZ86d ago

The GameCube remake was stunning for its time but the new modernisation efforts are breathing some much-needed life into the older games.

kevco3386d ago

I loved the GC remake back in 2000-whatever. But I tried replaying it recently and just couldn't deal with the door loading sequences.

Have I been spoilt by modern games? Probably.

Neonridr86d ago

tank controls just don't work in this day and age.

Babadook785d ago

I think Tomb Raider still works but RE I'm not sure.

Neonridr85d ago

@Babadook7 - imagine an updated Resident Evil or Tomb Raider with tank controls? you can't walk and turn at the same time. It would be ridiculous to play.

__y2jb86d ago

Both are fantastic but the old style controls and the half way house attempt to modernize them in remake both feel extremely dated now. Taking away your preference for the various settings and characters, the recent remakes are objectively better games.

rippermcrip86d ago

I think anyone voting for REmake is simply doing it out of nostalgia. No way a new young gamer is going to pick that over the new ones. I couldn't even get my son to play the game for more than an hour.

KyRo86d ago

Nope. REmake has a totally different vibe, feel and tension that the newer remakes can't replicate due to the camera angle. Yes the original fixed camera was used for technical reason but at the same time, they created a feeling of dread not knowing what was around the corner. You simply don't get that with a third person camera as great as the third person RE games are.

FYouDad85d ago

Depends what sort of experience you're looking for. If you enjoy the old fixed camera OG style then REmake is to me the pinnacle of the form. Incredible atmosphere, visual style and a fantastic revision of Resident Evil 1 with additions that feel completely seamless. Resident Evil 2 Remake in an excellent update (especially running with the IMO vastly superior original RE2 soundtrack) with the benefits of modern design but I still prefer the original game.. it didn't "overwrite" that experience in my mind the way REmake felt like it became the definitive RE1 experience.
