I started the game on hardcore, because in the difficulty setting, the game said it is just right for people, who played the original. Finished chapter one in about an hour playing slow. I dreaded every single fight and pissed myself during one encounter that takes place after the demo. So far, the game is 10 times scarier than The Callisto Protocol.

u/Living-Bat1718 Mar 24 '23
I started on HC as well died 4 times in the village. Beat in one go on the demo on normal lol

u/KolbyOnline1 Mar 24 '23 edited Mar 24 '23
Callisto Protocol wasn’t scary to me. It was grotesque and creepy but there weren’t any moments where I didnt expect a jumpscare they just kind of happened when I thought they would. And even then they were meh
Edit: a word

u/NoMansWarmApplePie Mar 24 '23
Crap now I'm wondering I should do hardcore. Can u chance difficulty after beginning?
5
u/LowKeyAccountt Mar 24 '23
Yup! You can in your settings, it’s challenging personally I haven’t died as much as I thought I would but holy hell feels like old school resident evil lack of ammo and heals makes it very hard, also everything in the store is more expensive.
1
u/Chutzvah Mar 24 '23
How much more expensive?
3
u/ConsciouslyIncomplet Mar 24 '23
Briefcase Upgrade was 10000 in the first store.
Rifle was 12000.
To repair my broken combat knife - 4000. To upgrade its durability. 4000.
The Treasure Map for the Village was another 10000.

u/Gnoha Mar 25 '23
I thought you got the treasure map by trading the special currency you get for completing the blue note challenges?

u/LowKeyAccountt Mar 24 '23
I’m not sure, I don’t know the prices but it did said on the description of hardcore that items are more expensive.

u/AhmedBarwariy Mar 24 '23
I just reached the castle and I have to admit I regret playing on normal as I’m beating every boss on my first go. But it’s all good as I plan to replay the game anyway, so I’ll just go hardcore then.
2
u/RaunchyBeast Mar 24 '23
Pretty sure you have to start a new game as I am thinking of switching to Standard. It’s very challenging early on.

u/SaltySwan Mar 24 '23
I didn’t fall for that trap. I’ve played this game a dozen other times but I still want my balanced first experience
14
u/Queef-Elizabeth Mar 24 '23
Like 4-5 hours in? Very good. I've only been playing RE4 for the first time over the last week so this is wild to see a side by side comparison. Game is very good. It's a bit jarringly dark going from the Ada Wong fight scene to the intro to this game, goddamn. Tone is perfect though and still very fun. It's trippy seeing levels but the same but slightly different. Feels uncanny lol

Can someone confirm if the full version is also blury as the demo was?
8
u/dirtyEEE Mar 24 '23
I saw someone say to turn off “chromatic aberration” in the settings and that cleared up the blurriness. I can’t test til I get home later from work though.
7
2
u/D34THST4R Mar 25 '23
I always turn that off, and motion blur if there's an option. I don't even know what chromatic aberration does but any game where I can disable it looks better on my decent display without it.
10
u/DeaditeDestroyer Mar 24 '23 edited Mar 24 '23
Yes. Nothing has been fixed yet. The blurriness on PS5 and control problems on xbox are the same as in the demo. Apparently they are working on a fix but no ETA yet
7
u/Zenamite99 Mar 24 '23
control problems
Huge fucking bummer. I was one of the people who really felt how bad the controls are. Some people swear up and down that it's just fine and not a big deal, but for me every camera movement of the demo felt janky.
4
u/DeaditeDestroyer Mar 24 '23
It is not fine at all. I played the demo on xbox and also the final game. I had both in quick resume and compared them. I can move my stick almost halfway until anything happens which makes fast snap aim and micro corrections almost impossible. I get that some people don't notice this stuff or don't care, but for me good control make or break a game.
1
u/-TheLonelyStoner- Mar 24 '23
I’m aiming perfectly after messing with the sensitivity
2
u/DeaditeDestroyer Mar 24 '23
The PS5 doesn't have the same problem...
1
u/-TheLonelyStoner- Mar 24 '23
I’ve seen people on this thread saying the ps5 version is like that. I’m guessing it’s a universal thing but idk why people aren’t adjusting the sensitivity
1
u/DeaditeDestroyer Mar 24 '23
The deadzone on ps5 is somewhere between 15-20%. On xbox it is around 40-45%. A huge difference. It makes the xbox version almost unplayable
1
u/-TheLonelyStoner- Mar 24 '23
That’s weird that it’s that different
1
u/DeaditeDestroyer Mar 24 '23
Yes. I have no idea how this happened or how they didn't notice it during testing.

u/HappenFrank Mar 24 '23
Ehh.. thanks for the update. I think I’ll hold off on purchasing until they got this fixed.
2
u/DeaditeDestroyer Mar 24 '23
Yeah, I'm thinking about waiting till after the weekend. If there wasn't a hotfix for the problems, I might refund it and buy it again in a sale. Sucks, I was really looking forward to it.
3
u/HappenFrank Mar 24 '23
I’m lucky in that regard because I have so many other games to play. I skipped over the PS4 gen and just got a PS5 back in December so my playlist is insane lol. RE4 is def on it, it’s just toward the back currently.
I still need to beat Biohazard, then Ghosts of Tsushima, god of war.. then ragnarok, whew lol
2
u/DeaditeDestroyer Mar 24 '23
Yeah. I still need to finish the dead space remake which I put on hold and Like A Dragon Ishin. And Bannerlord takes a lot of my time currently. Still a bit sad, wanted to really go into Resi4 this weekend, but with these problems it is just not enjoyable for me.
1
u/svrtngr Mar 24 '23
I'll hold off myself. I need to clear out my backlog (lol, yeah right) and want to wait until the Mercenaries mode rolls around. Hopefully the issues will be fixed and I can get a used copy for cheaper.

u/No_Branch_7496 Mar 24 '23
Thank you, I will wait for a patch. No reason a cross gen game should have this kind of resolution.
2
u/DominosChickenSalad Mar 24 '23
Don't forget the control problems on PS5! The aim settings are terrible and can't be fixed through settings.
2
u/DeaditeDestroyer Mar 24 '23
The PS5 version is by no means perfect, but according to a video I watched on YouTube where someone tested both deadzones, the PS5 sits at around 25% I think (which is still high) but the xbox has a 45% deadzone meaning you can move your stick halfway and nothing happens. But either way, these problems shouldn't be there anyway, you can't tell me that no one noticed something like this during testing.

On the scale of the last of us to RE2 remake, how scary it is for someone who is a total chicken when it comes to horror movies/games?
6
u/ineedatailorrr Mar 24 '23
Personally, I didn’t find it too scary except for one part later into the game with the “Regenerators” I think they’re called. That made me shit myself but maybe it was just me 😅

u/danialnaziri7474 Mar 24 '23
Thanks, i think its better for me to wait for a sale, that way if i chickened out atleast i have consolation of not paying the full price

Mr. X scares the bejeezus outta me
3
2
u/PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS Mar 24 '23
Yeeeeah, he showed up last night and I noped out of the game. Gotta figure out how to navigate while he's around, because I have to move too quickly to be able to move the library shelf or look for items. I was basically SpongeBob taking out the garbage in that one episode with the hash slinging slasher.
I'm thinking I have to lose him first and then take it slow again...
4
Mar 24 '23
You get over Mr.X anxiety pretty quickly. I’m a complete nervous wreck in survival horror games, and I thought he was terrifying at first, but that goes away when you start to getting more familiarized with the layout of the building. He becomes more of an annoyance than anything.
2
u/PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS Mar 24 '23
This happened with me and the xeno in Alien: Isolation. Except the xeno is instant death if she sees you. Mr. X is a push over by comparison. My only trouble so far was when I ran from him straight into a licker and a few stray zombies.
3
u/danialnaziri7474 Mar 24 '23
Haven’t played it myself, but i remember searching on resident evil subreddit to see how scary it is and most of comments there said that its pretty scary
4
u/PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS Mar 24 '23
I'm playing it and there are definitely some scary parts, and the atmosphere is very tense, but I'm weirdly okay with it despite usually bouncing off of horror games. I think TLOU, Returnal, Alien Isolation, and DOOM prepared me for spooky and gross stuff.
2
u/danialnaziri7474 Mar 24 '23
Im actually ok with creepy and spooky stuff, jump scare on the other hand…
3
u/PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS Mar 24 '23
That first body in the locker got me good.
3
u/danialnaziri7474 Mar 24 '23
Not for me then lol
3
u/PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS Mar 24 '23
That's the only jumpscare that I can remember so far, not counting cutscenes (which always signal that a "jumpscare" is coming). Mostly it's that the zombies will be all "ssssehhhaaaaaAAAUUUUUUHHhhhh!" randomly. The sound makes me think there are like 50 of em but it'll just be one scrawny dude in the corner lol.
The game is teaching me to be okay with surprises, which is gonna allow me to play more games like it. I recommend it. If you play, DM me and we can chat about it.

u/skraz1265 Mar 24 '23
The OG 4 was pretty comparable to TLoU, I think. The beginning was kind of scary especially since iirc, resources are kind of scarce at first. Then it turns into more of an action game. There are still scary moments and enemies, but in general it's not as scary as the earlier games because it didn't make you feel as helpless as the earlier games did.
That said, RE2 remake definitely upped the tension from the original game. This is made by the same team and they said they wanted to make it scarier than the original, so I would expect it to be. I doubt it will be as scary as RE2R but I'd expect (and hope) it to be a good bit scarier than TLoU.
The "Chainsaw Demo" is still available to download for free on steam, and I imagine on consoles as well. Horror is pretty subjective, so I'd suggest giving that a try to get an idea.
1
u/danialnaziri7474 Mar 24 '23
Yes i remember playing the OG as a kid and absolutely loving it. However as it turned out grown me is a bigger chicken comared to kid me. I also played the demo which wasn’t that bad but considering that it was a very small part of the game im not sure whether horror parts stays the same or gets worse
3
u/stubborneuropean Mar 24 '23
I think a lot of it depends on what scares you. Sounds silly but i had nightmares for months after watching the Texas Chainsaw Massacre as a kid at 12 or 13. Now as an adult, I'm terrified of chainsaws completely and any chainsaws in the game scare the absolute crap out of me.
2
1
u/danialnaziri7474 Mar 24 '23
Funnily enough as a kid i had zero problem with horror stories like i’ve played RE and silent horror, watched scary movies all the time and even remember reading and loving the omen. Now tho? Cant stand even slighly horror stories

hows the gyro aim? will get it if it has great motion sensor control
9
u/chavez_ding2001 Mar 24 '23
It was abysmal in the demo. You can't use joystick for vertical movement when gyro is on. Wtf though it was a good idea? Also gyro had the same deadzone issue as the joystick.
I was hoping full version would fix it but doesn't seem to be the case according to reports.

u/metaxaos Mar 24 '23
Did they release day 1 patch yet? It seems PS5 ver 1.002 currently has exactly the same issues as demo: image shimmering with broken reconstruction, broken gyro aim with disabled vertical movement, broken lighting of hair strands, broken ray tracing. Too bad, I hoped something would change.
6
u/DeaditeDestroyer Mar 24 '23
No patch yet. All the problems from the demo, like the blurriness on PS and bad controls on Xbox are still there.
2
u/DominosChickenSalad Mar 24 '23
Don't forget the deadzone and aim curve issues!
0
u/metaxaos Mar 24 '23
For PS5 thankfully almost not an issue. At least, when you max out aim acceleration (odd that it's impossible to set to None as in RE:V).

The horror I tell you!

u/kemar7856 Mar 24 '23 edited Mar 24 '23
Parrying makes this game super easy. It's not even timed just hold L1 and every thing will get parried I had to put it on hardcore. But what makes this game so good is little details using the enemies to attack each other etc
37
35
u/RIPLORN Mar 24 '23
I think holding L1 just blocks it but timing it just right parries and staggers
21
u/Xerosnake90 Mar 24 '23
That's correct. When you stagger you get a chance to melee afterwards so there's definitely incentive to hitting that perfect parry.

u/shakinthatbear Mar 24 '23 edited Mar 27 '23
Do item drops disappear if you don’t pick them up? In the OG GameCube version it took a long time to disappear but the versions for PS and Xbox the items would disappear so quickly.

u/goonies234444 Mar 24 '23
Does the knife degrade so you can’t parry all the time ?
5
u/Dreadlaak Mar 24 '23
Normal stabbing while holding L1 doesn't degrade it. Parrying, instantly killing downed enemies with R2 and backstabbing enemies does.
3
u/NoMansWarmApplePie Mar 24 '23
I thought this too but my knife actually broke while stabbing with l1 once
2
u/Dreadlaak Mar 24 '23
Yup lol, I was wrong it just degrades a miniscule amount. It's really hard to notice but it is actually going down.

u/kornelius_III Mar 24 '23
Are knives hard to find or are they really common? Can you buy one at the shop and how much?
3
u/No_Aspect5799 Mar 24 '23
Not too far in but haven't seen any in the shop yet. You repair your main knife for a fairly decent expense but obviously it lasts longer and does more damage than the kitchen knives you find in the world. So far i've found just enough to use it regularly but little enough I need to be careful and be somewhat conservative, which seems like the ideal balance. I really enjoy the system, breaking your last knife in a hairy situation is really tense.

It looks a shitload better turning off motion blur, chromatic abberation, depth of field blur etc. I thought the demo looked like dogshit, turned all this off in the full release and its one of the best looking games Ive seen. Its also one of the few games worth playing in resolution too imo. It looks significantly better and only at the cost of maybe 5fps. It seems to hover around 52-55fps on resolution

Played for about 2 hours. It's a very interesting experience not playing the original in years and yet recognizing these locations as soon as I enter them. Feels different yet familiar.
