When you said model I assumed you meant the game model rather than the likeness.
Yes, it's definitely the same likeness.

Love the Resident Evil series but never owned a GameCube so I missed this. Is it worth it? Does it have any good scares and/or suspenseful atmosphere? That's all I care for!

Did you get REmake HD?
Yes and yes.
Resident Evil Zero is vastly underrated. Don't go in expecting the best RE game, but it's a huge personal favorite of mine that was dripping with some great atmosphere, great suspenseful moments, and some really old-school style puzzles and flair.
It was criticized at the time for being "a bit strange" (to put it lightly) with leech queen monsters and zombie baboons and giant mutant bats, but compared to the stuff that followed, it's almost pedestrian by comparison.
I give it a HEARTY recommendation. And I say that as someone who has played every game and easily feels Zero deserves a spot in my top 5.

It's worth it, and does have some well done moments. Atmosphere isn't quite as foreboding as REmake, but more so than Nemesis and CV. The familiar aspects of it and it being a direct prequel to REmake sort of undercuts it in that department.

Does his best thinking in the flying car
I say yes, particularly considering the price point.
It's not as good as REmake, but what is, really? It's going to have the best technical presentation of all the "classic" style games, because all of the original assets were available for the team.
It has some genuinely tense moments, and a decent amount of puzzles.
If you like the older games, go for it

Zero is a good RE game. I didn't like the item management and wasn't a fan of the co-op in battles (bosses you fight solo are far easier), but its a classic RE through and through. The last of its kind.

After or during Zero/1 that changes imo.

Having had this creep up on me and the preorder stuff 'expiring' this weekend, what's the best way to get this game for bonus content and likely performance? Was the PC version of REmake good to bank on the same for 0, and is that something I should play using a controller rather than mouse/kb?
I've never played these games on PC (Gamecube was the last classic RE console, modern on consoles), so I have no idea what to expect. If there's no real benefit, I may just wait to pick up a bundle, if there is one, on PS4.

Resident Evil's PC ports are very good, MT Framework Engine works great with PC (the engine all RE's run on). PC will be the only version of the game that has 60fps, and there likely will be a lot of model swapping/modifications if you're interested in that stuff.

If you love the Resident Evil series, especially the classic trilogy, you'll absolutely love this.

Agreed, any RE fan that is on the fence shouldn't hesitate.

Was split between PC and PS4, but ordered up the PS4 variant at Best Buy. Going with it to support the physical version on the shelf and might as well get REmake HD along with it. Haven't played it HD yet, though as I've noted in the past, big fan of these games from the GC days (still have them and the GC hooked up).
Looking forward to it. Per the pre-order DLC, I feel like playing a quick story mode USFIV as Cody.

It looks like a fan edited it.
To be honest, I think that at this point the PC is the best place to buy any Resident Evil even for consistency sake. Resident Evil 3 and Code Veronica will be the only titles missing after remake 2 and I doubt they won't be released at some point. If in 5 years you want to marathon the whole series you won't have to think abou retro compatibility and / or hooking up different consoles in your TV.

I have a faint recollection of someone saying there's a point in the game, a bit like in Code Veronica, where you can screw yourself over if you don't have the right items with you. Does my memory play tricks on me, or is there something like that, and if so, where exactly? Without spoilers, if possible. =)

Haven't been keeping up with this just bought it. You think its possible someone can mod Co-op into the PC version

I don't think there's a way to screw yourself. You might need to backtrack a lot if you've forgotten the item you need at several points in the game. This game is not CVX, thank God.

Let's hope EU PSN can get a preload this time around. Away from my PS4 until tomorrow so I will have to wait.
We probably won't sadly get a preload.

Also remember where you drop items when you happen to need to free up inventory.

I just bought it and the pre-load is available now.
Don't dropped items appear on the map?
There are few moments in the game where Rebecca and Billy are separated, or one character is not available to use for some time, and thus you are forced to use only one of them. So you should be sure to always have both of them equipped with weapons and ammo (you shouldn't, for example, turn Rebecca into a health items mule while Billy act as the muscle guy).
Also, there's one item (

Yes, they do.

I remember not thinking it was the best RE experience 10 years ago but I'm friggin hyped for Tuesday after platinuming REMake last year
Classic RE for life!!

Not really, since there's no magic box system, you need to leave items in the ground, so sometimes may be necessary some backtracking to get them once you realize you need them again.

Is anyone doing an OT for this? It's out in two days, lol.
Melchiah

Thanks for the advice. What if that particular item is in Rebecca's inventory, when I'm going with Billy, or vice versa?

The point at which the party separates for a while is after you'll need that item.

I always had mixed feelings about RE0 but I'm really looking forward to this anyway.
It definitely has a lot going for it in terms of being a 'classic RE', despite some of the issues like the mostly lacklustre enemy design etc.
I've never actually finished this game somehow. I originally rented it for Gamecube back in 2002 and since I sucked so much at these sorts of games back then I doubt I even made it off of the train. I got the Wii version in around 2010 but gave up on it at some point, presumably out of apathy more than outright boredom/frustration.
I'm still really excited to play the remaster, but kind of wish the game had just done certain things differently (such as: had crimson heads ala REmake; been darker/scarier in general, not that it's a slouch in that department compared to most other RE games; had item boxes even though I guess in theory you can just designate appropriate areas as 'drop off zones' for items)
I always liked Rebecca appearance wise, she's the only RE girl I've ever found particularly crush-worthy. And Billy wasn't that bad a character I guess. I don't remember much of the story from what I played of it, other than it being pretty out there.
It looks like they did a great job with this remaster on the technical side of things... Fingers crossed I manage to play it all the way through this time (come to think of it, I've never actually finished RE3 or CV either, though I think I prefer those games to this one overall).
