More notably, this also includes the freedom to explore by motorboat.
In the original, driving the motorboat was limited to the Del Lago boss fight.
This time around the medallions arent the only things youll be hunting for.
Whenever Leon visits a typewriter, the player can now store their items there.
Players can now change the physical appearance of their case.
Its a small but considered touch that acknowledges the importance of the game system.
The exterior of the case isnt the only customizable addition.
Leon can now attach up to three charms to his case, each one with their own gameplay perk.
I was shown a Chicken charm which granted the player 100% health when eating an egg.
Could it be a replacement for the figures you unlocked from the shooting gallery minigame in the original?
Ceiling Plaga
Yes, you read that right.
Most notable is her lack of a health bar.
Another change is how Ashley is commanded.
The commands feel more organic and natural than in the original which were simply wait or follow me.
Ampo-san feels this is accomplished simply by having Leon and Ashley talk more.
This, of course, includes the game’s iconic castle entrance.
New weapon - Bolt Thrower
Joining the arsenal is a Bolt Thrower.
