Sounds just like the original release.

Hopefully this comes tomorrow as I’m off. Got a notification Shopto have it at the warehouse. If sent today...there’s a chance...

Ripe for a yarr, this.

So I have been playing this over the last few days. Overall, good, but a little slight and lacking the impact of the RE2 remake.

A lot more of it is completely reworked, which is probably a good thing in general because the city in the original was mostly just a load of corridors. They've made more of some sections, but removed or reduced others. And it's more linear than Resi 2. There's no single big area that you're in for ages like the police station, which simplifies progression and makes it more action oriented. It's good in that it makes it feel different, but it's also a bit predictable and one-paced.

Play time, a little short. As with Resi 2, I think the main thing is that it's a very clever and detailed reworking of the original games, with lots of nods and little changes to keep you on your toes. It's just a shame they didn't expand it into something more substantial.

I do wonder if they will touch CV.

I personally would like a new Resi. An open world could work provided the controls were updated and they learnt lessons off newer survival horror games over the past decade. Dead Space's, item menu would be a good addition. Not pausing the game while rooting through it would add to the tension.

Open world zombie survival horror? Could be neat but will it still be classic re?
They could make a play on pandemics too.

Yo if you get one sort a reg out pls

Just wait for the Fit Girl repack, won't be long.

I was watching a play through of the original the other day, and a lot of the Nemesis encounters were a bit shit really. You just run away a bit or make a binary decision and he's gone.

Here they've made each encounter into something meaningful. They've also done a decent job of making sure he's not just a repeat of Mr X, which could easily have happened.

I want them to do Dino Crisis next.

It's not, there's no decision making thing in. (a major part of resi3 that made it worth playing thru multiple times for diffrent outcomes and endings) It's only 5 hours long. Nemesis is a scripted boss that turns up instead of being totally random. Should have been a dlc for resi 2.

Nemesis was always a scripted encounter.

Could show up in different locations depending on your actions, or where you went first, but if you do the same things every time, you'll get the same Nemesis encounters every time.

Nope, it had about 5 or so diffrent places were you could make decisions from a choice of 2 each time, each one affected what happens next and changed the choices you could make later including the ending.
After the initial encounter with nemesis he could show up anywere but always at the decision points too.

Those decision points are no longer in the game.
(and it seems like it's only a 3Rd of the game it was originally).

Yeah, this could be cool.

Jurassic World was huge at the box office, but that was a while ago now.

Maybe they've missed the ideal time to ride on the back of that.

You are 100% wrong on that. Outside of the multiple choice encounters, there are set places Nemesis can spawn, once certain conditions have been met. It is not random, though could certainly seem that way on a first play through.
