Excuse me, I'm full of dog poison
Really loved this game, beaten it three times already. Fastest run is 2:23, gearing up for a madhouse run. Next is the completionist run on easy and then it's on to get my shit pushed in on madhouse.

Any tips for the speed run?

Just beat the game. Holy shit that ending, I cannot wait for the free DLC to answer some shit. That's a really great treat, rather than waiting an indefinite amount of time for a sequel to answer it.

Serious spoiler. Don't click if you haven't beaten it.
I need to know if that was Chris Redfield. Many are speculating it's Hulk due to Umbrella. But holy fuck I'm glad both Umbrella is back (possibly, though idk how after the world figured their shit out), and Chris got a makeover, if it is him. I liked his design in 5/6, but this one seems to be going back to his more grounded look of the original.

I just realized you never kill Lucas either. The son of the Bakers that pulls that Saw tier stuff? Unless I'm forgetting, he's still around.
Spoiler
You didn't kill Zoe either. But I think with Evelyn gone. It doesn't matter. They're dead now. At least it seemed that way. Jack said his family could be at peace with her dead.
Spoiler
I felt sorry for Jack. It didn't help he was a Marine and my father was too so I empathized more, if that makes sense.

Either way, yeah, I think you're right? But idk.

Edit: Lucas was in the lab though, feeding Chris and Umbrella info on Evelyn, so I don't think he's gone.

Spoiler
There's a file in the salt mines that implies that Lucas was cured and got away. Depending on who you choose to save you get to see Zoe die so I think it's canon either either way.

Also I think they're implying that umbrella Corp has been reformed and is now more of an anti BOW organization. The switching of the logo and the blue instead of the red, not to mention Chris's involvement, all heavily implies that it's not the same evil corporation.

Naming a gun after one of the main antagonists in the game is kinda weird tho. That and the name of the dlc also throws some shade Chris's way, maybe he's a double agent or maybe he's being controlled?

I'm really interested to see where they take this.
Spoiler
Pretty sure the gun is just a call back to Wesker, but the Umbrella thing is interesting. You'd think Umbrella's name alone wouldn't make them wanna come back, but the world was, ironically, safer when they were around, then when they collapsed and all their experiments got out.

Run easy and you can skip most of the game.

Spoiler
when I beat the game I didn't bother with the first shotgun, the broken one can be fixed almost immediately after you find it. The wesker pistol is a one shot with enhanced rounds, grab the grenade launcher for daddy, run past as many enemies as you can and you don't need to gather many supplies.

After the daddy fight it's pretty straight forward with only one mini boss towards the end.

Half the game can be skipped, tapes and such, and most of the original house area can be skipped. Easy mode makes the old house laughable, you can run right past the old bat. Flamethrower is still necessary tho.

Spoiler
Really It's just Chris's involvement that has me confused. I can see how umbrella is necessary and it wouldn't be the first time they've reformed or emerged again.

Doesn't look like a cover up, looks more like a new corporation is picking up where umbrella left off and umbrella is being rebranded as the good guys.

I wonder if this is going to change the canon, what with Chris being human sized and the BSAA being nowhere to be found.

Well they made him smaller in RE6 as well, so him getting another makeover isn't too far a stretch. I guess the DLC will answer a lot of it for us, but I'm pretty sure the BSAA is still a thing.

And thanks for the tips.

He still looks massive, in seven he looks like he did in the first game. It's the bulldog face that kills it for me.

No worries on the tips, I'm sure there's walkthroughs online that can give you even more insight.

I've never really cared about RE (Or horror games in general) but I saw the opening scene (I'm guessing it was) where you're sat at the table in the background of a video I was watching - I think it was jim sterling's video on RE7.

Shit's fucked up. Looks kind of interesting.

Friends, if you have yet to start playing I suggest setting the brightness real low on your first run. Running through the game with the brightness up kills a lot of the atmosphere.

They don't look similar to me, other than the chin shape. That might be what you're looking at.
