Why didn’t Leon or Claire call RPD before going into the city to work/find Chris? How did they not know anything about what was going on in the city?
Resident Evil 2
Christian Bell
Asher Hill
there wouldn't be a video game then
Jacob Perez
No one was answering. Leon, at least, went there because because the rpd went silent.
Jaxson Johnson
OP are you trying to logically analyze a Resident Evil story or am I developing Alzheimers
Christian Campbell
active subterfuge from umbrella within the city
Jeremiah Turner
Well since you wanna question video game logic, better question would be, why didn't Leon and Claire just drive back out of the city?
Benjamin Harris
It was also pre cell phone zoomer. Sometimes you just couldn't get ahold of people back in the day
Liam Kelly
Why did you use this shitty screenshot for the opening post?
Robert Sanders
Why didn't Leon fill Claire's holes? Was he a fag?
Juan Hughes
No. Unfortunately, he's just Adasexual.
Adam Perry
You still had house phones and pay phones (like what Claire used in the opening). Doesn’t make sense to drive into town for your first day without calling ahead to confirm your schedule or find out if your brother’s there.
Noah King
Ayden Brown
Besides clear infrastructure breakdown there was efforts from umbrella is isolate the city. Know one outside knew what was happening and no one was getting out to tell them.
A lot of it had to do with the city almost entirely owned by umbrella. Mayor was for umbrella and the chief of police. They were actively working to make sure there were no survivors and had plans for how to do that.

The thing with landlines is that they go down during zombie apocalypses. The very intro of RE2 remake shows the city's lights going out to form the Resident Evil 2 title. Damage to utility services is to be expected.

Unless you care about playing 90% of the same game just to get the true and trophy, then no imo. 4th Survivor is a nice quick playthrough.
Luis Brown
I meant true end
Jeremiah James
Landlines are often underground in cities. But yes, it is a possibility that Umbrella interferred with phone lines, but the chief is still able to call clair from the orphanage, so I’m not sure if that is really happening. Also, the power grids are still online in the city and on the outskirts.
Joshua Richardson
Why did you do both A scenarios? The game is meant to be played A scenario then B scenario.
Caleb Smith
The B route is also more difficult than the A route and there are some remixed enemy locations and events. Also, the different primary weapons.
Lincoln Baker
Not the user you’re asking, but I did both A routes first to know what happened on both stories and then play both B route after that. You are missing half the game by not playing both A and B routes.
Lucas Peterson
>but the chief is still able to call clair from the orphanage, so I’m not sure if that is really happening.
The line he's calling is to an area he has exclusive access to. It's quite likely it had its own line that could have been left operational, as he needed it for contact between his office at the RPD and the orphanage he was the director of.
Julian Myers

The real question is why didn't Chris let his family know he was going on holiday?
Claire could have avoided the entire nightmare if she had just let her know he was going on holiday like a normal family member would?
Who leaves the country without alerting relatives?

I just assumed that he didn't want to be assassinated by Umbrella.
Jacob Gray

Ethan Flores
He was taking care of umbrella. He didn't want to endanger his family
Asher Taylor
Why not? They share similarities, but there are different bosses and cutscenes.
Noah Wilson
Claire went because she was worried about her brother and she has no one else besides close friends, he probably also told her nto to come which jsut made her more worried especially after teh comms went dead and a state of emergency was declared. Leon went because he didn't hear back from HQ and knew bad shit was going down.
Ethan Reed
The bosses are different for each character, not scenario. Even then, aside from G5, only the last boss changes at all. The only noteworthy cutscenes that are Character *and* Scenario dependent are the Marvin ones.
You pretty much get the entire experience in one A scenario and the opposing B scenario.
Hudson White
I hope you played Claire A Leon B for your first two runs

I think I may be misusing the terminology I did Leons run, then Claires "second run" now the game is giving me the option to do another run of Leons.

Attitude of life was different, everyone was too cheap to use a payphone unless it was an emergency and there was a general adventurous fuck it attitude so you'd just show up to places, wouldn't check your map and go by sense of direction or memory, shit like that. It was like we were both more lazy and actually less lazy at the same time. Hell, we still wrote fucking letters despite the ability to just call folks.

Found the 12 year old.
See kiddos, they had these things called flip phones back in the dark ages. They often had shit survice, but lots of people had them. Many of whom were people who traveled a lot, or simply got one "just in case my car breaks down and I need to call someone"
I got my very first flip phone in 2000. It even had a shitty prepaid plan.
My parents got their first flip phones in 1996. They had a contract though.
Fucking idiotic kids, man. Next they'll say 1998 was pre internet...
Hell, we even had the prehistoric version of social media. It was called "AIM" and there were many chat groups as well.

The way I remember it is that people weren't so worked up about not knowing everything. They lived life at their own pace, were content with what the world had to offer, often made big decisions on a whim and let it pan out however it may. I guess in a way they grew up faster.

RE7 is replayable. It's also a 10/10 camp masterpiece on par with Metal Gear Solid 3. RE7 is one of the most underrated games on this board. It just does over-the-top camp perfectly. It's so over-the-top it's hilarious at times as long as you're not a scaredy-cat. I could explain more.
REmake 2 - 7.5/10
RE4 - 9/10
RE7 - 10/10

From what I gather canonically she tried several times, but couldn't get a hold of him, Jill, or anyone else who would know. It makes sense considering it's 1998 in game.
Isaiah Lee
Who do you think is the guy giving orders to Mr. X over his communication bug in his head? I'd like to think every big name in Umbrella is busy doing damage control and hush work because of Raccoon City going to shit, so they just put an intern at a desk with a headset and told him to clean the place up.
William Nelson
>RE4 9/10
don’t know how to feel about your RE7 opinion now, considering I think RE4 aged poorly. I love replaying all RE games but RE4, 5 and 6.
Cameron Thompson
I can get pretty worked up when playing games like Silent hill and the first Remake. Can anyone confirm if this game has any good scares? Are they jump scares or are they real scares that leave an impression? I'll be getting the game regardless.
Ayden Gray
Trent
Isaac Brown
Unfortunately no
Carson Jackson
RE4 did a lot of things that changed gaming and I mostly grade it a 9 for gameplay. It's really satisfying to use the rifle and get headshots. The combat feels crunchy. The story is ass, but I still get yearnings to replay it purely for the combat. It's a landmark game that changed gaming.
Now 7 is a story-driven game that does camp amazingly as long as you play it as a campy game and not as a horror one. It has plenty of memorable moments and quotable lines. It's borderline hilarious at times.
Xavier Green
I don't know why, but Res 4 is one of the coziest games I've played. It's a must play for sure.
Xavier Ortiz
there are a few scares, the lickers made me the most uneasy.
Aiden Taylor
Don’t get me wrong, it blew my mind at the time, but everytime I try to replay it since 2011 I feel like it didn’t age well, unlike PS1 RE games, Code Veronica and REmake, ironically.
Luis Fisher
It's not really scary and more tense, lickers can be kinda scary at first I guess, and there are a few jump scares but they don't overdo it or anything.
Chase Lopez

Eli Foster
I played the Wii version (yeah yeah, easy mode, I know) for the first time back in 2016 and I loved it. I feel as though it does hold up today. I'd even go as far as to say that it's a timeless classic. I'll be picking up the switch version for sure and I already have it on PC.
Colton Adams
Flip phones existed back then but were pretty uncommon. Most cell phone users were using chunky mini-bricks like this one. They also weren't as ubiquitous as today, though most adults probably would either have a cell or a beeper.
That said, none of this matters because what wrote doesn't matter. If Claire was a sane human being, she'd have tried calling Chris at home and at work, and getting no response from either, have tried calling the RPD's front desk to ask if he'd been showing up. Cell phones have nothing to do with it.
Aiden Nguyen
And of course I forget the fucking image.
Carter Cox
Don't you bring that shit in here.
Dylan Wilson
Thanks anons. I like to get as sucked into the games as much as possible, so I'm sure that my first play-through is going to be very tense. I often find that horror works best in games when it leaves everything to your imagination which I understand isn't something that res does.
Anthony Richardson
Yeah, I got the PS4 version a month ago and I think I'm going to play it some more before bed. It'a classic, but I docked some points because it didn't really do the genre RE created justice. It felt too linear. I think RE7 does the survival horror thing well and throws in a good plot twist for good measure, along with excellent horror amp homages. RE7 just made a bigger impression on me, although it took me two playthroughs to really get the type ofexperience they were going for.
That's why I recommend anyone who plays RE7 to play it once to familiarize one's self with the puzzles and map layout, beat it, and then play it again once you know what to do and subsequently overcome your fear of the Bakers. RE7 is just full of great and memorable moments. It has an arena chainsaw showdown for God's sake

Jordan Edwards
Before I ask, let me make it clear that both original RE2 and REmake 2 are some of my most enjoyed games of all time. Not trying to nitpick a RE storyline (they're flimsy as fuck anyways) but just had one question/point that I never see people answer when talking about the events during the Racoon City incident.
Even if the town was controlled by Umbrella, even if all communication lines were cut and people couldn't call in / out of the city, even if Umbrella went to serious lengths to contain the outbreak and make sure nothing entered/left the city, why were Leon, Claire, and the trucker all just able to drive right into it? Also, if the roads were open, why weren't there a fuckton more people driving into and out of the city? Most major cities have heavy traffic flowing through them, so wouldn't it be safe to assume that the roads/highways going into and out of Racoon City would have a steady flow of cars even during the outbreak? At the very least, a steady flow of cars entering and getting trapped there.
Ian Morgan
Resident Evil 1, 2, 3, and CV got official novelizations, ranging in quality from tolerable to trash. They add in some extra shit, including Trent, an Umbrella executive sabotaging the company from the inside.
Camden White
The game’s scares come more from the scenarios you have to overcome rather than a typical haunted house format.
>having to get past a zombie, but if you shoot, 3 other zombies nearby will come to you
>Mr. X constantly pushing you through RPD, forcing you to make tough amd quick decisions
>thinking you have a handle on the amount of enemies in a room only for more to come through windows or start reanimating
Asher King
IIRC the military sealed things off pretty quickly, the T-Virus was in the water so shit hit the fan really quickly and infected thousands. The Outbreak series elaborates on this story quite a bit. It's assumed the characters in RE2 happened upon a way in that wasn't sealed off, wiped out, or just not manned at the time. They arrived about a week in to the incident so it's plausible enough.
Luis Sullivan
Right, but wouldn't there be a steady flow of traffic through any way that wasn't sealed off, same as the characters? And we know that at some point in the lore, the military abandoned their checkpoints and stopped watching them. So why did no one else drive over into Racoon City is what I mean? How did the roads just magically happen to be empty for the exact few days of the incident that the military stopped guarding the checkpoints? And we can't say something like
>the military turned a few people away who spread the news and told people that they couldn't go that way
because there'd be no way of them getting that information out on a large enough scale, there'd still be people who would choose to drive through especially once the checkpoints went down. and they probably wouldn't broadcast that information anyways since the incident was supposed to be hush hush and covered up
Kevin Reed
It doesn’t make sense at all, but you just have to suspend your disbelief. Everything about Leon and Claire’s involvement in RE2 is contrived, but it’s still a good time.
Nathan Bell
game.capcom.com
What did you guys get?
Benjamin James
Luis Johnson
I guess it can be assumed others did come and try to leave, but weren't as lucky so they turned to zombies. Also it wasn't a major city, at least not originally. RE3 mentions the population is more like a small city around 100,000 people so you can compare to real cities with that population to get an idea of how big it was supposed to be.
en.wikipedia.org
Of course there will probably still be a plot hole here and there, you shouldn't really think about it too much.
Nathan Jenkins
100,000 is actually really small
Jaxon Howard

Mason Powell
>So why did no one else drive over into Racoon City is what I mean?
We don't know that. Considering the RE2 intro it's easy to get overwhelmed out of nowhere, and if it wasn't for the trucker they would've been dead. There was also official evacuations, and there are canonical Raccoon City survivors that were never in any games. It's just assumed anyone who got out "normally" did so with military or Umbrella transportation.
IIRC Umbrella tried to cover it up on the news as rioting, but slowly the truth leaked out. Considering it's 1998 in game, most people were still getting their info through the TV. In one of the scenarios in Outbreak Alyssa uploaded images of the zombies to the internet.
Kayden Bell

Christian Barnes
RE7 is rated at about an 8/10 and Re2make is 9/10 by most people and I'd say that's fair.
RE7 is fun but it's crafting is worse, finding
items is annoying. There are basically 2 enemy types. It's not a bad game, but all in all Re2make is better in every regard from graphics, to location, characters, weapons, and enemies.
I'm glad the game 'spoke to you' personally, and you enjoyed it, but please try to be objective and not confuse people looking for game suggestions

I actually really loved these books and reread them recently. I still like them but I can see why people don't, I always loved Trent though, it seemed like a neat idea when I was younger and still does. I also liked how it tied the RE1s story together because at the time Rebecca was just non existent on certain endings and I enjoyed the "behind the scenes" look at what Wesker was doing.
From what I recall from my RE canon, basically the military in conjunction with Umbrella sealed the city, however there were mountain roads leading into it all around, keep in mind Raccoon is based on Springfield which is in the Ozarks. A very difficult area to control and seal if there ever was one. Theres mention of the military checkpoints out of the city being overwhelmed and others forced to pull out from zombie and BOW attacks which led up to the US to make the decision to pull back, send in special forces teams, who were wiped out, which caused them to write the whole thing off. But from those special forces teams they recovered information about Umbrella and so on.
basically yeah checkpoints existed, however it was an extremely chaotic time, with said checkpoints getting overwhelmed, cut off, wiped out, or saying fuck this and getting the fuck out, there were also a multitude of mountain roads in or out of the city where it would be very hard to checkpoint all of them.
