Inventory Chris Redfield's 6-slot inventory screenĭepending on which character the player chooses, they will either have six (Chris) or eight (Jill) inventory slots in total. During Chris' story, however, players may take control of Rebecca Chambers on two separate occasions to help save Chris from dying of poison, and to kill the mutated plant monster Plant 42. Both Barry and Rebecca will sometimes have to help the player character from a perilous situation, though Barry will always be an NPC. Jill Valentine has with her fellow STARS Alpha team member Barry Burton, whereas Chris has the rookie medic of STARS Bravo team, Rebecca Chambers.
Jill ValentineĮach character also has their own unique supporting character that they will often encounter and interact with during the game. However Chris is somewhat sturdier than Jill and can withstand more damage before succumbing to death, and he also has better accuracy with handguns giving players the increased chance to pop a zombie's head completely just with one shot. Jill has more inventory space to carry items she can potentially find an additional weapon exclusive only to her story, being the grenade launcher she has with her a lockpick that can open locked drawers and many more such examples. Each offers up a differing take on the same narrative, though what separates them the most is the gameplay implications, as Jill Valentine's version of the game is significantly easier and more accessible than Chris's. Like the original, Resident Evil features two different characters-Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine-to select from. These will often provide additional insight into the goings on across the overall narrative, but some are more vital as they will provide information pertaining to solving puzzles or maybe hinting as to where to go next. The story is largely portrayed via in-game cutscenes, however there are also a number of Files (diaries, memos ect.) players can collect. Many of the puzzles and necessary key items required to move on can be solved/collected in any order.
While the game follows a linear pattern of major events, the player is allowed to explore most of the beginning mansion at will.

What is new over the original Resident Evil is the ability to now do an 180 degree turn, which was first introduced in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and has continued as a mainstay across the series since then. And while the camera angle perspective sometimes tends to purposely obfuscate the players view of monsters, characters will at least (by default) aim their weapon at the closest enemy when players draw their gun. Characters also cannot move and fire their weapons at the same time, and instead the character will 'perch' themselves to the ground when aiming.
Utilising the notorious '' tank controls'', players move via a third person perspective throughout a number of pre-determined camera angles. There are three different difficulty modes available: Easy, Normal, and Hard, with each one featuring tougher enemies and less ammunition to be found than the last. Though like most survival horror titles, Resident Evil limits the player character's capabilities beyond the norm and ammunition for their firearms is generally scarce, intended to force players to use their supplies wisely and to choose flight rather than fight when possible. Resident Evil plays much like every other Resident Evil game pre-Resident Evil 4, mixing in third-person combat, exploration, and puzzles.
