What actually is going on, is that Chris is trying to track down Lucas – who it’s revealed has a secret base in the mines. So we can only assume Capcom are unaware that fans have already concocted an Internet’s worth of theories to explain what might be happening. Not only that, but all the speculation about whether this is the real Chris, and why he’s working with Umbrella, is explained away in a couple of lines of text before you start.
It stars Chris Redfield, which feels like it should be a spoiler except that Capcom has been perfectly happy to promote his appearance without any pretence of it being a secret. Capcom has implied that the original idea was to make a more action-orientated story, but when that didn’t work out turned it into something more similar to the main game.
This is the free DLC, a download which was supposed to be released during the summer but was delayed until now. We’re all waiting with baited breath, let me tell ya.Not A Hero (PS4) – Chris is looking different
Are there just a few challenges you can complete during normal play (similar to the medals you can earn in Revelations 2), or will there be a challenge mode? Or is it perhaps (considering the achievement name, Fastest Man in the Swamp) just one singular challenge that is optional on any difficulty? Who knows, considering just how limited information has been on End of Zoe (thankfully).Įnd of Zoe and Not A Hero both release December 12th (or 14th if you’re in Japan… poor bastards) along with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Gold Edition, which contains all DLC in one package. I’m curious about what an “Extreme Challenge” is. So getting through End of Zoe using just your fists is totally doable, considering there’s an achievement for it. Probably thanks to Not A Hero already implementing a “punching” system, although I imagine it’ll work a lot differently here (Chris has to stun the enemy first, then deliver a follow up – Joe simply has his fists be bound to the shoulder buttons on your controller). So it looks like barefisting it (uh, like, punching, you degenerate) is possibly a pretty viable option. I can’t help but read some of these in a Shrek voice. Perform a 4-hit combo with your bare fists in End of Zoe. The other achievements are a little more bread n butter.Ĭomplete End of Zoe on Normal or Joe Must Die using no weapons.Ĭomplete an Extreme Challenge in End of Zoe. That could mean possibly a no-saves difficulty? Ugh. There’s two possibilities, it’s a separate mode that works like Ethan Must Die, but with End of Zoe‘s map, combat, and unique monsters, or that it’s the maximum difficulty that works similarly to Ethan Must Die. It’s a god damn nightmare, and while I did manage to complete it, its pretty much the furthest thing from ‘fun’ I can imagine. And randomly generated item and weapon pick ups. It is extremely difficult, pitting a minimum level Ethan up against waves of Molded as you explore the Baker estate for the key to access the greenhouse and fight Marguerite in her boss form. 1 DLC, we got a special mode called Ethan Must Die. Easy and Normal are a given, but Joe Must Die? Woah.
Again, no story related achievements aside from simply beating the game, although we do get to find out about this ad-on’s hard difficulty because of them. This list gives us a little more, but not by much. Perhaps it’s to keep it’s surprises a secret, especially seeing as so much information has already leaked about it. Like I said, it isn’t really a surprise that Not A Hero has so few achievements, but I am a little surprised that there aren’t any that are story related.
Not A Hero isn’t going full blown RE6 action of course, but it will be a lot more action-focused than that of the main campaign.
This isn’t a huge surprise, although it is pretty shocking that both of them are simply for beating the story.Ĭomplete Not a Hero on Easy or Normal difficulty.Ĭomplete Not a Hero on Professional difficulty.Ĭute that they’re bringing back “Professional” difficulty for this DLC, as it was only ever a setting for the “action era” games ( RE4-6, the Revelations games, etc). So, if you’re fine with all of that, let’s cut to the chase!īeing a free ad-on, there’s only two achievements. In fact, there aren’t any story spoilers here at all, closest to anything I can think is that it reveals a difficulty settings we hadn’t known about. Surprisingly, (although perhaps out of foreknowledge that this would probably happen) the achievements are almost completely spoiler free. So, as per custom, all of Resident Evil 7‘s DLC achievements have leaked early, thanks to Steam.
