It should be noted that I've only played the game very briefly, but the difficulty seemed to be pretty high?

Very limited ammo, and quite a few zombies to deal with.. I've since read that the typical zombie lore of "aim for the head" hasn't been applied, and shooting their legs is much more effective.

Are there any other tips anyone has (other than trying to conserve ammo) before I try and tackle this again, and hopefully play it for a bit longer next time?

Yes, run. And run some more

Yep, pretty much don't use ammo unless you really need to. Shooting them in the head will still take a full clip or more.

Ideally you should be able to swoop around the zombies.

There is no harm in putting on the assist mode either. At the very least you can use it to practice how to evade better.

I definitely had more trouble than I thought I would. I'm not great at the resource management of these kinds of games so I eventually had to drop the difficulty down because I was afraid I'd screw myself over.

After playing a fair bit of this, I just couldn't get into it the same way I did the original. Maybe I'm just so in love with the older style of play I'll never fully accept the remakes.

I really enjoyed Resident Evil 4, but then 5 & 6 I just didn't enjoy as much and the remakes of 2 & 3 just aren't my cup of tea.

That's fair, I think Capcom realised the potential with future games when they released RE4. It was no longer just for the horror fans, it was for a wider audience. So naturally that's how they're trending.

Whats your take on RE7 and Village switching to a first-person view? I know a lot of fans of the over-the-shoulder style were kinda against the switch to FPS. I was really excited by it though - I think a first person camera is perfect for horror.

Felt the same way, tbh. I have not went back in a while as I just lost interest.

For once, if you invested in a collector's edition it could actually be worth something!

The Collector's Edition of the Resident Evil 2 remake is now reportedly worth anything up to £695 depending on condition. Perhaps even a bit more if you get it professionally graded!


Unfortunately, this one isn't mine

This is according to PriceCharting.com, who's estimates fluctuate based on previous sales.

I'm amazed at how much that thing is worth..

I have some Resident Evil thingies but nothing as valuable as that.
