/vr/ - Retro Games

In the PC version of RE1, and only in the PC version, there is an extra beretta clip hidden in the back of the Tyrant lab room.

Yawn's 2nd encounter and the Tyrant are the only bosses in the game which aren't given a freebie (you HAVE to fight them, no other choice). This could have been added because of that. Or it's a hint that the Tyrant is actually weak to the Beretta as it only takes 12-18 shots to kill it with it (depending on the difficulty)

I'm 100% certain that only occurs in the PC version


and really balances changes depending on version AND region is what I was interested in. I wanted to know which version was the hardest. I set out to find iso of every version of every region I could find a while back, do to some testing, the problem is those tests were entirely empirical and therefore could be not be trusted.

I'd have needed to learn how to use a PS1 debugger to actually get to look at the game data. Then, once I'd undesrtand how it works looking at that data, I'd be able to check other versions (PC, Saturn, etc) empirically with less doubt.
But I never ended up doing it. My hats to you if you can pull off a better method.

P.S. be aware there is a 2nd PC version called PowerVR.

>Everybody gets filtered by plane tyrant but its fucking RE you should be saving up for ammo dump boss fight anyway. I dont even consider this a negative.

No.
The RE games that are actually great offer the possibilities for plan Bs during bossfights EXACTLY because the player may not have the

In RE1:
>the only 2 bosses you are forced to shoot are the 2nd encounter of the Snake and the Tyrant in the lab.
>first snake encounter you can just run and dodge
>plant 42 you can make the v-jolt for its first half, and in the case Jill Barry can take care of the 2nd half
>the giant spider: you can just destroy the web blocking the door while dodging the spider's attacks. You can even trick the spider into destroying its own web with its spit, how fucking brilliant that.
>helipad tyrant: you just need to dodge and the rocket launcher will be dropped regardless or if you shoot. Dealing enough dmg may only make the rocket launcher drop sooner.

So that only leaves 2 bosses: the 2nd Yawn serpent encounter, but you should have noticed that if you get stuck there you're at the same point where you can unlock the Magnum; or the Tyrant in the lab, except the Tyrant in the lab was actually designed to go down from a SINGLE Beretta clip. The PC version even put one there. In the case of Chris you're also left with the 2nd half of the plant 42: turns out the 2nd half has LESS HP than the first half, less roots to beat the shit out of you with (less danger), and that the plant is HIGHLY weak to the knife.

RE3 uses the same kind of principals as RE1 for most of its bosses. Although it's not designed as smartly in RE1, it's still there.

RE games which aren't as great like RE2 don't offer these possibilities and instead HAVE to lay a shit ton of ammo in plain sight everywhere so the player has enough.

The PC version even hands out one

In the PC version of Resident Evil, and only in the PC version, there is a Beretta clip hidden in the shadow near the door in the Tyrant lab room.

Probably a hint from the devs that the Tyrant can be killed with less than a Beretta clip. That or someone ran out of ammo during the boss fight and got pissed.
