Line 68:
** Chris' and Jill's S.T.A.R.S. membership cards at the character select screen have Brian Irons' (the police chief from ''Resident Evil 2'') signature on them.
** A note left for [[Early-Bird Cameo|Ada]] [[Resident Evil 2|Wong]] can be found in both versions, but in the original game, the password to unlock the laboratories is {{spoiler|[[The Mole|MOLE]]}}.
** The REmake adds a file that mentions [[Resident Evil Code: Veronica|Alexia]] and the G-Virus.
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: The Black Tiger. A giant Australian funnelweb spider.
* [[Giant Spider]]: They make their first appearance in the Watchhouse then take up residence when you return to the mansion. The Director's Cut had a surprise in that it added more, and the remake kept the huntsman\tarantula\wolf design for the normal variety and reskinned the Black Tiger into the highly venomous and aggressive funnelweb.
Line 83:
** To a lesser extent, ''One Dangerous Zombie''. A zombified Forest Speyer chases after you at a lot of set points, can match your running speed, and the bandolier of grenades he's wearing means shoot him once and they go boom and kill you too.
* [[Hidden Supplies]]: The save points in the game are mostly hidden, out-of-the-way places with good lighting and calming music where your supplies are stashed. After you've been battling zombies for a while finding a safe place to relax can be an incredible relief, enough so to make players reluctant to leave.
* [[His Name Is--]]: Enrico is shot by an unseen assailant ({{spoiler|Wesker}}) moments after he reveals there's a mole.
* [[Hot Amazon]]: Jill, according to Brad.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Chris is much larger than Rebecca and Barry is much larger than Jill.
Line 107:
* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Albert Wesker}}, who turns out to be an Umbrella employee {{spoiler|leading the S.T.A.R.S. team to destruction}} to test the BOWs.
* [[Multiple Endings]]
* [[Next Sunday ADA.D.]]: The original was released in 1996, and takes place in 1998. By the time the sequel (which takes place two months later) came along, it ''was'' 1998, so the whole near-future angle was dropped from the series (at least until ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'').
* [[Nitro Express]]: The remake has you walk slowly with explosives or you get a [[Game Over]].
* [[No Body Left Behind]]: Played straight, with the exception of regular zombies in the REmake, whose corpses remain unless you destroy their heads or use fire to burn them; they later revive, turning into [[Demonic Spiders|Crimson Heads]], heavily bleeding zombies with nasty claws and gaseous breath. You have limited amounts of fuel with which to burn them, too. This served to heighten the tension in the game by making it unsafe to backtrack unless you meticulously burned every zombie you could, but it probably wasn't popular enough to warrant continuing, because the next game that got made, ''[[Resident Evil 0Zero]]'', ignored the whole Crimson Head thing.
** The lead director of ''RE0'' stated that the Crimson Heads were purposely omitted, because backtracking was downplayed in that game, making their inclusion pretty pointless. He regretted the decision, since players who experienced the ''REmake'' [[Nightmare Fetishist|were completely terrified by]] the Crimson Heads.
* [[One-Hit Kill]]: In the original game, Hunters can decapitate you by simply swatting at your head. The Hunters in the GC version are [[Badass Decay|notably weaker]], but can still slit your throat (resulting in game over) if they get close.
Line 129:
* [[Sequel Difficulty Drop]]: Players coming from RE 2 and 3 will be surprised when healing items are extremely scarce and it takes more than half a clip to down a zombie.
* [[Suicide Attack]]: The [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|One Dangerous Zombie]] (i.e. Forrest). Upon unlocking him, Forrest chases you around the mansion while wearing a grenade-covered vest.
* [[Sunglasses Atat Night]]: Wesker. Apparently simply for [[Rule of Cool]] or to establish his [[Badass]] credentials.
* [[Super Soldiers]]: The whole point of the Tyrant and, indeed, the Bio-Organic Weapons program in general.
* [[Super Title 64 Advance]]: The subtitle of the DS version ('''''D'''eadly '''S'''ilence'').
Line 146:
* [[What Happened to Mommy?]]: Lisa Trevor.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]:
** Rebecca Chambers is a supporting character for Chris's game and a main character for ''[[Resident Evil 0Zero]]'' yet hasn't been mentioned since, save for a report about what happened seen in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''.
** She did get some expansion in ''[[Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles|The Umbrella Chronicles]]'', but it's an interquel showing how she got from the Training Facility at the end of 0 to the library where Chris meets her in this game. She does appear in ''RE5'''s Mercenaries Reunion DLC, but that is non-canonical.
** In Chris's game, Barry disappears soon after the opening and is never seen or heard from again. Wesker heavily implies that he's dead, but he is never brought up again by anyone.
