I found a texture pack from Resident Evil 4, and was inspired to make a small map inspired by the events of Resident Evil 1. I wasn't planning on releasing it, but then I thought it might inspire someone else to recreate something bigger based on the mansion levels and labs from RE1 so here it is!
Thanks for that playthrough! It made me realize I need to actually add some weapons, health and ammo to make it playable without mods, so I've updated it now and it will work as a vanilla doom level just fine now :)

There are also blue orbs that offer you a random set of three perks to choose from like bonus handgun damage or healing per kill. Do well enough and you can unlock new levels and even new perks to enter the rotation of possibilities at each blue orb. I really liked the additions to Mercenaries and feel it will be a great place for players to challenge themselves in a little time attack-style combat, and it does well to round out a wide array of post-game goods after RE3 remake was admittedly lacking.

Resident Evil Village (aka Resident Evil 8) is my most anticipated game for the PS5. I'm so excited about it that I'm even thinking of buying a PS5, just to make sure I can run the game at full tilt. (And I'd given up on the PS5.) But I'm starting to worry about how big the game will be.
There's probably a world in which Resident Evil 8 could be long and great. Capcom could, in fact, pull off a mighty hit with an epic tale. But to paraphrase The Big Lebowski, these are my concerns, dude.
I have been thinking about Resident Evil 8's potential run time for a few weeks. I truly love Resident Evil 7, in part for its tight editing. Then, this past Tuesday, Peter Fabiano, producer and founder of Global Production at Capcom, told Official PlayStation Magazine that RE8 is "much larger than what players experienced in Resident Evil VII: Biohazard."
Some fans got very excited at this news, as you can see in comments to a Reddit post about the news (though the post also covers a lack of load times and 3D audio support). Redditor u/ClappinCheeks120 replied with a simple "Hell ya," u/Abellewis31 shouted "Amen!" and u/Mastrownge declared "This is the way."
I don't want Resident Evil Village to go in the other direction for many reasons, one of them being its star villain: Lady Dimitrescu. For those who aren't aware, Lady D is a 9'6" vampire that's stolen the show so far. People love her so much that Capcom itself even put out a tweet acknowledging the fervor.
But if Resident Evil 8 is too long, I've got concerns we'll learn too much about Lady Dimitrescu. A lot of sci-fi, horror and fantasy stories tell us too much about their mysterious characters, delivering unnecessary backstory and explanations.
How Long To Beat clocks Resident Evil 7 at about nine hours for the main story, and 22 hours for completionists. This makes sense for a horror title, where you're on a roller-coaster of suspense. Think about how a Netflix season rarely overstays its welcome. Similarly, every single scene in Resident Evil 7 feels necessary, without a moment of filler.
In the world of blockbuster video games, RE7 is on the shorter side. 2018's God of War (21 hours for main story and 51 hours for completionists) and The Last of Us Part 2 (24 hours for main story, 40 hours for completionists) are more the norm. While both games are great, neither is a horror game (TLOU2 has horrifying sections, but it's half drama), and horror is a tough mood to sustain.
On top of that, it's easy to see how Resident Evil 7's shorter time likely translates to less for the developers to build.This gives them the ability to focus on refining the game instead of expanding it.
The boss fights in Resident Evil 7, such as the unforgettable first fight in the prelude and the chainsaw duel in the pit, are practically perfect set pieces. And since I'm not especially great at these fights, I've spent a lot of time looking at every element of what's going on. It's game design at its finest.
Even the Molded baddies, the nasty Venom lookalikes, were designed with exquisite care. When I first came across one, I had conflicting feelings. At first, I wanted to erase it from existence, while hoping more weren't lurking around the corner (they were). Then, I thought, "damn, those things are cool. There'd better be more."
Were I more optimistic about game development, I'd believe that the powers that be at Capcom would grow their development team size for such a task, or give them more time to finish the game. We don't know, as production cycle details aren't widely publicized in the gaming world (until something goes wrong, as with Cyberpunk 2077).
The early materials we've seen for Resident Evil 8, including the "Maiden" demo, suggest this game will live up to the quality of what's come before. I just hope that Resident Evil Village is the jaw-dropping Game of the Year contender that it appears to be so far.
Guys, Resident Evil is one of my favorite franchises. I finished Survivor and Nemesis on PS1 already, but I really want to finally beat Resident Evil: Director's Cut. I will start a new playthrough tonight.
However, I have some problems with this game. I usually start with Chris, but I just keep dying close to the beginning. I get the gun and some ammo, but everytime I find a zombie, I kill it wasting almost all my bullets, and the knife is pretty useless, since everytime I try to stab an enemy, it grabs me and I take damage.
I don't understand, is the game supposed to be really tough or I'm doing something wrong? I feel like I'm never going to beat the first Resident Evil (And I really want to) if things keep going like this.
If I remember right the character you select is basically difficulty, Jill is easier and you will get more ammo I think. I've only played as Jill, didn't finish it but got quite far, and might have had to kill a zombie or two with just knife but was usually ok with ammo if I was careful and explored.
Weird. It's been a while since I played the ps1 version but I don't remember the zombies respawning. Maybe if you are playing on a higher difficulty which I don't remember if I did. You are probably just not completely killing them. You must shoot them until there's a pool of blood, that's when you know they are fully dead.
And yeah ditch the knife. It is completely useless because while bullets are scarce you still get enough to kill every enemy unless you go out of your way to waste them. If you find yourself in an area with too many zombies and not enough bullets trying going to a different room where there's just one or two, it's a good idea to start shooting a zombie only if you know you have enough bullets to kill it. And once you find the shotgun things will get easier.
Whenever you save your game, do a test run. Enter several rooms, kill all the enemies inside and find what's inside them. Decide which rooms are worth exploring (if it has more ammo than its needed to kill the enemies inside it, for example) or have things you'll need to finish the game (like puzzle pieces, keys, etc). Then reload your save, enter only those rooms, do whatever you have to do in them and save again. Rinse and repeat.
As others have said, Jill does find more ammo and also has the lockpick (she is the master of unlocking after all). Inventory space is the same between the two though. And the majority of the game itself is the same as well, as far as rooms and puzzles goes. RE2 is where things branched off more between Leon and Claire.
That being said, you shouldn't have any issues playing as Chris. Zombies do not respawn if you kill them "for good" which is when the pool of blood shows. There should also be a notable, last grasp groan then that happens. You can definitely kill the vast majority of enemies as well, but not all of them.
1) Aiming. Sounds dumb but because of the tank controls, is easier said than done. You will get better with practice though. Taking more time in between shots, and letting them get closer to you, will up your chances of getting a headshot, which does massively more damage. This usually isn't a problem with only 1-3 zombies; just be confident in yourself letting them close in.
