Do your weapons upgrade carry over from the main story? I assume it's a no, since I see this game more like Assignment Ada and RE 4.

Nope. Have to finish it in 1 sitting, no infinite ammo, even after beating it. It's as old school RE as anyone's going to get.

The more I think about it, I want RE remade with that (as long as they take out typewriters)

I know it's been remade already, but I know I would also pay for a total revamp of the original Resident Evil game.

no the weapons don't carry over from the main story, and yes this is more like Assignment Ada.

OH MY GOD....

So I just played Lost in Nightmares again, and just found a really cool easter egg. This is the ultimate throwback to Resident Evil 1.

If you love Resident Evil, and you have the DLC then you need to go do this right now.

Basically as soon as you enter the Spencer Mansion. Try to leave through the front door again, and the message "I am not leaving until I finish this mission" shows up. Well just keep trying to leave 2-3 more times, and a "?" will appear. Press it, and witness what made Resident Evil what it was.

Kudos to Capcom for putting this in

Here's an easter egg:

You mean a second revamp (game was redone on the Gamecube) or just a port of the Gamecube version to the 360/PS3?

I know it was remade already ("I know it's already been remade"). As others said, I'd like to see one with the RE5 engine.

As soon as I read your post I had to turn on my 360 to check it out.

Oh. My. God. HOLY STROMBOLI!!

That's the best Easter egg ever, man. I guess Capcom has some respect for their old fans after all. (Now if only you'd have the option to choose between the 2 views in the next game...)

Clunky and artificially difficult?

I kid, kinda, not really. But kudos to Capcom for some quality fan service.

Am I the only one disappointed with this shit?

Granted, it started out good with great atmosphere, but nothing really happens for most of the time you play the DLC. Sure, the first time you see your big hook enemy it's cool, but then you just fight 3 more, and have to solve the most tedious puzzle I've ever seen in a RE game. I have no idea how you would even do it without an actual person playing with you, especially on Veteran/Professional.

And to top it all off, it ends so abruptly with a terrible "boss fight," and finishes with a compressed version of a cutscene from the original game.

I just felt like it was building up for something epic, and it never delivered.

After doing the Easter Egg Tenzor showed, something odd happened:

The first time through Lost in Nightmares, I didn't encounter a single enemy in the mansion. Nothing. However, both times since then, I have. Both times was after using the classic camera angles.

The first time I encountered an enemy was just after hitting the switch that keeps Jill from being (forgive me) made into a Jill sandwich. Immediately after leaving that room and entering the room with cages and junk piled up, I saw the new enemy's anchor weapon get dragged in the foreground of my camera view. So I gave chase and went into the hallway, and there he was trying to walk back towards the entrance hall.

On the playthrough after that, I was heading to the dining room with the fire-sensitive paper to get the last password. I decided to investigate the piano room since I heard music playing and because I had never gone back there before.

So I get to the piano room and there's nothing, and the music had stopped playing as I was going up the stairs. It was creepy, but I was disappointed. However, when I left the room and tried to go back downstairs I was attacked by another anchor-wielding enemy.

I'm not sure if those moments only happen if you use the old view or not. All three of my playthroughs have been on Normal, by the way. So difficulty has nothing to do with it. I jumped both times though, so it was pretty cool.

Also, I'm surprised the weapon placement seems random. My last time through, the shotgun was where I had found the magnum revolver in one of the bedrooms. Jill found an assault rifle above the dining room this time instead of a sniper, and the sniper was right next to where you find the fire-sensitive paper.

Oh, and I found three proximity mines in the same room where you find the frag and incendiary grenades. They were where no items had been previously, and I was surprised to see them.

Shadow, you forgot to close your spoiler tags. Haha.

Going on, I dig the classic camera angle, but its going to take me a bit longer to get used to it. My brother is going to flip when he sees it. I dig the random weapons all the way around.

After my first playthrough, I got three achievements (Beat it, S rank and Kung Fu), which was surprising. It was really easy to S rank. I didn't pay too much attention, but I died like, 3 or 4 times, and I still got the S, so yeah. Great DLC. Totally worth the $5 dollars, just for the environment alone.

DAMMIT! It took me all of thirty seconds to fix my mistake and someone still saw... Haha, oh well.

Yeah, the random weapons are nice. You never know what you'll end up with.

I only got an 'A' rank my first time... I think I spent a little too much time in the entrance hall when I first started, making Chris and Jill run laps around the room as I giggled like a schoolgirl.

...what? Hey, I was happy to be back in a mansion. Don't look at me like that. DON'T JUDGE ME!!!

I can't find the DLC on PSN yet. What gives?

PSN updates don't happen until after 6 p.m. EST (on most Thursdays)...
Sometimes they don't happen until very late (like 9 p.m.)..tough for them to push that button.

I'm like a ninja, fast.

why not the updated engine from lost planet 2!!

Anyone here trying to run through the game on veteran?
IF so add me IICL510II

I just beat lost in nightmares and I have to say...it was pretty disappointing. I was kind of hoping for some kind of insight into the process of Jill turning into Wesker's pawn at the end.

I would have also liked to fight some zombies and not just the big monsters they threw at us. Although I appreciate the difference in game play it brought.
