Question about RE1 (psone version)

I was wondering could somebody help me with a query on Resident evil 1 for the psone. During Chris's play through, after the garden house part when you return to the mansion there's usually a segment where Rebecca gets cornered by a hunter and you can either help her or let her be killed by it. In Standard and Beginners mode you find her in the book room with the file informing you about the medicinal herbs whilst in Arrange mode I think you can find her being cornered next to the save room with serums (where you find the serum for Richard).

In arrange mode, I was wondering how do you trigger this part ? I was playing as Chris a few weeks ago and I was surprised that this part didn't occur. After you find Wesker in the garden house and return to the mansion the first hunter races through the mansion and after you kill it, Chris somewhat confusingly says "what are they Monsters ?" [another gem of voice acting) and "Rebecca is she still in the house?" but during my play through upon killing the first hunter Chris didn't say this and consequently I never had to save Rebecca. She didn't show up till near the end of the game where she survives Wesker shooting her and she activates the Triggering system.

So I was wondering how do you trigger the hunter cornering her segment in arrange mode ? during the same play through I killed Plant 42 by playing as her and using the V-Jolt on it. Does this have any bearing or significance on the course of events ?

Would you believe Teh Spike has never played Arrange in RE1? RE2 sure, but not RE1.

And of course you mean Director's Cut?

I'm afraid my Resident evil 2 doesn't offer Arrange mode. It's just either easy or Normal

Well yes I think so but this is a bit complicated. I purchased the game (with a demo of RE 2) and the disk specifically says Director's cut. So logically it should be but I'm not 100% sure it is.

In the Director's cut, isn't the opening in colour and when the narrator mentions the bizarre murders that have occurred in Raccoon City, it shows you the mutilated and dismembered corpses ? in my version it's in black and white and instead of showing the mutilated bodies, it just shows newspaper clips.

Also I think in the director's cut when you encounter the first zombie, after he turns around and spots the player it shows you Kenneth's decapitated head and when you Examine Kenneth's corpse it shows you his whole body with his head separated from his body.

My version doesn't have that, and when you examine Kenneth's corpse it just shows you from the neck downwards.

So I'm not actually sure which version I own

RE2 on GC definitely has an Arrange. Don't remember for the Ps1 version however.

As for your supposed copy of Director's Cut, Teh Spike would suggest paying attention to the music in the opening scene. Really, though, ALL the BGM is different in DC compared to the original RE1. Not actually sure where the 'uncut' opening scene is available tbh aside from teh internetz

Ah that explains it. Mine is the Ps1 version

Yes, when I was trying to remember the differences between the two versions I completely forgot the different soundtrack that each one has. Mine has the original soundtrack.

I've suspected that mine might actually have been the original game and not the director's cut, although both the box I purchased it in specifically mentioned it's the director's cut and the disk itself says it is. Must have been a big labelling mistake.

There were also regional differences, meaning that some things were censored in some regions despite the version. Also the Dualshock edition of the Director's Cut is different.

I have the PAL Director's Cut with RE2 demo and the opening cutscene is black and white. It should even say "Resident Evil Director's Cut" in the main menu instead of just "Resident Evil".

The scene you are looking for doesn't have anything to do with what mode of the game you are playing, it is just the order of how you go about doing the events. I can't remember exactly but I think you need to ensure you fist meet Rebecca in the infirmary where she blasts you with bug spray. This will then trigger the scene underneath the stairs later in the game.

However, if you first meet Rebecca whilst she is with Richard in the corridor near the attic, she will be attacked by a Hunter in the upstairs study instead.

Because of the items being swapped around in the director's cut, this mode pretty much forces you to encounter Rebecca and Richard together near the attic, so this is perhaps why you are struggling.

Ah right. Thank you for the explanation.

Thank you for the info, although during this particular run through I think I may have actually encountered Rebecca in the infirmary first and by the time I got to the room where Richard is, he was already dead. (this was a few weeks ago so I can't remember 100% if this was the route I took)

I always thought the scene with Rebecca and the Hunter was inevitable, and I didn't know you could trigger it in two different places in any mode.

To my knowledge, quite a few things can happen if you go one way instead of another.

True especially with Jill's play through (which I'm much more familiar with). I'm just puzzled why this segment during Chris's walkthrough didn't occur.

I guess technically speaking whatever I did must have been the correct way since Rebecca was never in any peril, she destroys the mansion and you can save Jill for the best ending .
