You absolutely do not want to overwrite your save file and leave yourself in a state in which you have no ammunition and/or no healing supplies! Because the knife can break, and ammunition is finite, it is possible for you to back yourself into a corner in which you have no offensive capabilities whatsoever! If you don't have an earlier save from which to conserve more ammo, you'll be stuck without the capacity for damaging enemies or bosses.
Stagger your saves so that you can go back to an earlier state if you back yourself into an unwinnable corner. In doing so, you'll conserve more ammunition and healing supplies which will make your later explorations easier. From a reload, you might find that there's a more efficient exploration route that will give you earlier access to more or better supplies, or you might get better at avoiding zombies, or you won't get caught off guard by some of the game's surprise attacks. This way, if you get stuck, die, or have to reload for any reason, you can potentially load from an earlier state in which you had more favorable circumstances.Ĭlassic survival horror allows for non-linear, player-driven exploration. The first tip should probably be common sense to most survival horror veterans: DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR MOST RECENT SAVE(S)! Instead, save in a new slot or overwrite a very old slot. Maybe don't turn the brightness down so much.Save green herbs and gunpowder for mixing.Here's some observations of mine that I hope will help you survive Raccoon City, whether you're an experienced survival horror gamer (like me) or a newbie. If you didn't play Resident Evil 7 or the REmake of the first Resident Evil, then you probably haven't played a true survival horror game in over 10 years (if ever).Įven though it has an over-the-back, third-person camera, Resident Evil 2's remake firmly follows most of the design conventions of the classic (pre- Resident Evil 4) survival horror genre - minus the tank controls.
Since then, every mainstream horror game has either followed a formula similar to RE4 (such as Dead Space and The Evil Within), or it has gone the Amnesia route and been about running and hiding from foes rather than confronting them (such as Outlast and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories).
(And if you want to know what I think of Resident Evil 4, you can listen to my commentary in a playthrough for On the Branch's Let's Play channel). Classic survival horror has been essentially dead since the release of Resident Evil 4 all the way back in 2005. Much of its design is based on classic survival horror paradigms, which many players may not be familiar with. Capcom's remake of Resident Evil 2 is a pretty difficult game.
