i mean either makes sense to get heavy handed about Canon in this wqcky ass series, but uhh after mysteriously losing a number of field employees in the arklay mountains
They lost a bunch of employees a week ago.
Booji and I were howling with thar Bullet Points website last week. It was delightful to read Gamerās Quarter navel gazing in 2019.
as much as I love this clause I am obliged to point out that this is one of those things that makes much more sense in Claire A / Leon B

also interesting to note how much of resident evil 1.5 is really in this game. zombie dismemberment, forcing their way into the police station from outside, following you from room to room - were all scrapped mechanics when the reality of ps1 hardware set in

I just thought the new Rookie had to wear the Rookie Goon Uniform for a year so the other cops could make fun of him!

leonās outfit is based on the 70s S.W.A.T. outfits Peter and Roger wore in OG dawn of the dead so leon is all barnied out in his S.W.A.T. outfit first day on the job.

āYou said the virus turned people into monsters. Not reptiles!ā

Journalist: ACAB
Leon: Well I need to ask the chief first!

I love how brisk and yet still more challenging the second run is
itās like 90 minutes in and Iāve already met Jackie O (and got an upgraded magnum which I couldāve easily missed before the first boss) in part because I have to keep moving so much earlier

I consider not having the cutscene of mr. x getting dropped in by chopper a mark against the remake. You shouldnāt have to have knowledge of the original to know whatās going on. Heās even more constant and threatening in this one so him being just unexplained while being different enough from everything else is weird.

Ah, B Leon was the only run I had left to see before writing that post.
Is Mr X faster in B? Sure feels like it.
Yeah I donāt know how they detailed or referenced pretty much everything else, and left that scene out at the very least. I canāt remember how itās explained in-game heās not only there to ex but also get a G-sample since Hunkās Team funked up.
I wouldāve preferred his presence only to be very minor if at all during the A game. It originally made the following run more unique along with all the other zapping system changes (items left in equipment locker, area changes, poison in the lab, etc)
With how much attention was given making X a bit like Nemesis, Iām curious how theyād up 3ās intensity now. He could originally show up semi-randomly but also run and gun rocket launch ya. Imagining that with a more detailed comb and surprise! mufukka across a more layered/wider Raccoon. Sounds awesome.

I think heās slightly faster and there are supposed to be two of them?
idk I just got to the sewers in B (with barely 2 hours on the game clock and the whole station cleared out and Iām not even trying to rush, this rules) so Iām hoping thatās done with for now
definitely running all the way out of ammo more often too but the game is very good about keeping you in business
canāt imagine I wonāt finish this tomorrow night, the whole NEST sequence would have to be like 40 minutes at most at this rate
Leon is definitely funnier than Claire
Iām honestly not sure how spare Iād be finding the storytelling in this without knowledge of the original; so much of it is self-evidently the way it is because it just is that Iām not sure whether Iād have needed them to explain why thereās a terminator robot chasing me around on top of everything else
A creepy coaterminator needs no explanation to unnerve, antagonize, but entirely unacknowledged by the rest of the script aside from Leon and Claire going ā!!!ā while everything else gets some words, is just why??? Plenty of people would wonder.
Could be theyāre incorporating something for the dlc stuffs en route. Things like the mayorās daughter will be newly defined.
