Did anyone create a "tips for beginners" for RE0?

1. don't drop the hookshot ever

But it takes up 2 slots. Whats so good or essential about it ?

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Just got to the end of the train on Hard. I probably used too much ammo, but those corridors are narrow and I didn't want to take damage... (even though I did).

You're going to need it later and if you don't have it you're going to have to the ultimate backtracking in the history of backtracking.

Ya know I think I'm finally understanding the appeal of this game.

I feel like the game really works as intended when you split the partners apart most of the time, and only have them together when group puzzles are involved. It's more of a horror version of what Broken Age tried to do.

 

[TheSeks]

So apparently Steam pre-orders are supposed to get Package B but don't have it.

GG Capcom. GG. I expected to throw Billy in the Cody outfit from the get-go. But now I have to wait until you fix this.

Spoiler

I also thought pre-orders got Basketball Becky in addition to Cheerleader Becky. CAPCOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

I actually think it works best when the two roll together as a death squad. RE Zero dumps a lot of enemies at the player, but even on higher difficulties gives you enough ammo to cope - as long as you play smart. Billy on point and Rebecca in back dealing out the damage does a great job.

When I first played, 14 years ago

Spoiler

I feel old

I tried to play it too much like REmake; prioritizing avoidance and smart pathing. Zero plays better as the more action oriented cousin to REmake, and I've come to appreciate it more.

 

[Dance Inferno]

In case anyone is wondering, you can definitely remap the control by using Durazno (I just tried it). This is what I did to most closely match REmake controls:

Change Back to Y
Change Y to LT
Change LT to LB
Change LB to Back
Change RT to RB
Change RB to RT
Change B to X
Change X to B

This way you can aim with RT, fire with A, bring up inventory with B, bring up map with Y, and reload with X.

The only weird thing with this solution is that you now use X to back out of menus instead of B, so it's not ideal.

Edit: nvm figured it out.

Centurion might be the worst boss fight I've ever seen in a RE game, and I played the first Revelations.

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Replaying this in HD makes me so excited we're getting a remake for RE2. I really hope it's in the same vein as REmake and RE Zero.

Game looks gorgeous. Now it's the CG cut-scenes that look rough compared to actual gameplay.

RE0 is the most notorious game in the series for being hit-combo'd, a single Hunter can chain three hits on you quite easily if you let it.

 

[PensivePen]

Loaded up REmake today just to play it for a bit and compare it to RE0. The backgrounds look pretty terrible if you use widescreen view, but in original they hold up alright. Still, they don't hold a candle to the improvements they've made to RE0, which looks great in either mode, and in fact the closer view in widescreen mode often lets you enjoy them much closer to the camera. It's still a bit sad, I'll probably be whining about REmake getting the worse treatment for years to come.

The first hunter I encountered combo'd me the second I gained control. During multiple attempts!

And the Eliminators (monkeys) are as bad as I remember, or worse. Hope you didn't forget anything in a remote room cuz they're gonna be there now too...

I managed to survive my first Hunter encounter without too much trouble, thankfully.

I've never played Zero before this, so I've been pretty cautious with my saves. Luckily I saved before then, too.

[kamineko]

I've realized that my mastery of RE0 just isn't up to par. I'm enjoying not knowing what I'm doing in a way that just isn't possible with REmake.

I typically do not save this much in "classic" games, but there are plenty of ribbons. Rebecca got banged up pretty badly by

Spoiler

the first leech mimic

, and Billy got slapped across the room twice by

Spoiler

Stinger

. I think the no-heal run is going to be a doozy, even on easy. Lots of retries when encounters go wrong

Despite my fuzzy memory, I am trying to be smart about dropping items. The truly great players have impressive strategies for item management, but I don't intend to look at any of their runs until I go for S-Rank.

I really am impressed by the presentation. The new 5.1 mix sounds nice, though I have not tested it at higher volumes.

I'm glad that I will have time tomorrow to really get after this, as I have only been able to play in short bursts due to other obligations.

Tip on the first leech encounter:

Spoiler

You can just head back to the stairs and the cutscene with Billy will play. Similar to the first zombie in RE1 as Jill when retreating will let Barry step in.

Also the scorpion:

Spoiler

Hang back and aim down + shoot when it gets up close. It will recoil every time.

 

[inana]

Used to play it with my then gf. Good memories

[ekgrey]

That's probably a different problem. The one I mentioned doesn't crash the game - it just stops it with a black screen. When I first discovered this in RE5 the game was still "running" in the background - I was still able to switch between gamepad and mouse/kb (the game was showing a message that input was changed to XXX) - but other than that, the screen was black, there was no sound and all you could do is just force quit the game. The issue occurs only on build 11082 (released in December) and 11099 (released in January).

Apparently there's also a problem with build 11099 where it suddenly crashes and displays a message about missing WSClient.dll file. It hasn't happened to me yet, though.

Yup, that's the one. Curiously though, nothing's crashed on me except RE4 that one time. The message just pops up. Granted, I think it's only happened while I was away from my PC but it can't have crashed because I haven't come back to the log-in screen.

Did anyone create a "tips for beginners" for RE0?

1. don't drop the hookshot ever

Nah. You can totally drop it on the train right after first using it so long as you have two inventory slots open once you get off the train and you make sure to grab it quick before leaving that first area after the train. Leaving it by the train exit is a horrible mistake though given how tight that area is if you need to go back.

Here's a good tip, once you have beaten the first boss, ditch the stupid hunting shotgun thing. No sense lugging that thing about.

Oh and make sure to save the molotovs you get on the train and keep them with you. Do not, I repeat, do not, use them on the train.

 

[Dance Inferno]

OK so the one issue I'm running into trying to rebind the keys is that you can't bind an axis (i.e., left trigger) to a button (i.e., Y), so there's no way to bring up the map using Y.

That's a bummer. I'm debating just putting up with the default controls and just trying to get used to it.

It might be worth getting a steam controller. They're so flexible. I have the map on a button.

I forgot to pickup the bottles on the train. So im assuming the red canister(x3) i currently got was to be used to combine with to make the molotovs ?. Can you get bottles after the train section anywhere, or is the red gas tank now useless ?

There's more gasoline and more bottles to be found throughout the game.

i am streaming a bit of resident evil zero if anyone wants to watch, PS4 version with no mic or cam, just gameplay.

honestly have no idea what im doing so prepare for lots of deaths x struggles B^)

Yup. But early on at the training facility you're going to want as many Molotov's as you can get your hands on. Those three extras from the train are a real leg up.

 

[Dance Inferno]

So there's this really weird and annoying dead zone with the alternate controls that wasn't present in REmaster. It's so strange. They clearly put a lot of work into up-rezzing the backgrounds but for some reason the controls feel totally neglected.

I considered it, but I really like the feel of a regular controller. Don't know if I could get used to using trackpads instead of analog sticks.

I haven't needed to move the partner character much yet, but I'm controlling the main character with the analogue. The trackpads work well for a lot of things. I like it quite a lot on something like Alan Wake, where you can have all the buttons and analogue sticks work like a 360 pad, but the aiming track pad act like a mouse rather than a right analogue.

The downside is on screen prompts are regularly not going to line up to your mappings. But having the flexibility to configure stuff however you want is really nice.

I feel like the old controls also stop more often than in REmake for some reason.
