Replaying: Resident Evil 1 (Original)

[Archelon]

Yep. Also, I recall there being something about the Colt Python having alternate ammo? Armor piercing rounds IIRC. Theres another ammo type on the disc (at least the image for the display pic) which is different to that of the standard Magnum Rounds.

Is it possible to activate them in-game? If you check the Colt it even says the same type of thing the Bazooka does, since it has multiple ammo types "Magnum Rounds loaded.".

I wonder..

Edit: ah, the trial even has the model for it:

Weren't they called "dumdum" rounds or something like that?

EDIT:

Dur hur, reading comprehension ftl. I didn't even look at the link you posted.

Dot, are you noticing any gameplay difference between the versions? I remember reading awhile ago that there was speed difference between the versions.

[Dot50Cal]

I haven't touched the others yet, I'm still on RE1 US release. When I move on I'll be sure to report anything as I go here. I do recall that theres something called PAL slowdown on the PAL copies of the game. Maybe Rob can report on that though, cause I'm not really sure what happens. Maybe something to do with the framerate conversion?

[TheSelfishGene]

Yeah. PAL copies run at something like 5/6th the speed of the NTSC.
IIRC it's the ratio between the framerates of the versions. 25:30 (ie. 5:6)

I got the Dum-dums using an Action Replay. Same shit, different names except they sound slightly muffled if I recall correctly..

Barry then gives Jill some Acid Rounds for the Bazooka

This works only if you have one (or more) empty slot in your inventory. If your inventory is full, Barry skip this dialog.

Right now I'm playing Zero, which in turn will lead me up to 1. I just got my Vjump guilde for my japanese saturn edition. Looking forward to a Chris speed run soon. Don't know if I should play saturn one or gamecube re-make of 1. Or both. Hmm..

After that it's dreamcast versions of 2 & 3 for the win!

Ah, nice. Gotta get that variant too

[Agent_Wong]

You know that was something I've never taken into account either. I've always had at least one free space in my inventory. I may have to go through again mahself.

I swear I've gotten this scene with my inventory full and when the screen cut to the inventory to ask if you will take the acid rounds, it instead said I could not hold anymore items.

This whole idea of figuring out what triggers specific scenes is something I've always wondered about. Same with the DumDum bullets, which back when I had a old grey PSX w/ a gameshark pro I found them too, I believe the description for them was the tips were hollowed out. But how to unlock them in game I never figured out.

[Agent_Wong]

It was probably something they decided not to put in the game at the last minute, but didn't bother removing the file.

Behold, The Ultimate Biological Weapon!

Hmmm... it's been a while since I played so maybe you are right... The only thing I am completely positive about, is that if your inventory is full you won't get the acid rounds.

[Dot50Cal]

I'll try it out now Going through as Jill again. I'll explore the West Wing first, like I did on this last play. But I'll trigger the Shotgun trap to see if that activates Barry sticking close to Jill.

I'm streaming my play right now on justin.tv
