Holy shite, have they improved the Fatso's pathfinding, too? The gobshite nearly gave me a heart attack yesterday!
Been playing the first mission again, for the first time in the new version, was in the mansion, just minding me own business, killing zombies left and right, getting raped back and front, you know, same old, same old. Killed the first Big Guy - the one back left in the main hall, ground floor - with a hand grenade, heard the second one on the upper floor start to move, in his creepy, pumped up gait with steps much too soft and much too fast for a guy his size, like an undead, overweight, bent-on-rape Riverdancer.
As he had done a thousand times before, in the old versions, so I figured he had just started to do his rounds on the gallery, like I was used to. Bit later, ready to go upstairs, done everything necessary on the ground floor, so I go to the stairs, and before the camera could even turn - BAM! Fatso right there, behind the corner, down on the ground floor, grabbing the poor girl and getting his dick out. Nearly threw me out of my chair, the bastard! Since when can they do that?!?
Well, in the end, I managed to mash the buttons like crazy and get away from him, and one very satisfying shotgun blast to the face from point blank range later, he was not so terrifying anymore, but feck me, that moment was a second of pure horror!
Really, my hat off to the dev team. Felt like being fifteen again and seeing the very first Resident Evil zombie for the very first time!
