are you NUTS? (and this is said with the upmost awe and respect
looool)

On youtube you have the speed runs for most of the RE games and man, I
cannot, absolutely cannot imagine doing RE 3 with just the knife. I've
finished the remake about 10 times, and I'm up to doing up in less than
5 and a half hours, but I'm not near courrageous enough to do it with
just a knife, so I can't imagine doing RE3 like that looool

According to my last psyche evaluation, yes.

It does take a lot of perseverence and planning. I originally thought
that a 100% kill run (Including all Nemesis and boss fights) was
impossible, but all it took was a great deal of training.

I managed to do a normal knife run before Vincent Merken did his guide
(See Gamefaqs) but was amazed that a 100% run was possible. Having
played through the game so many times with all the different random
factors (herbs, etc) and live selections going I made a few notes on
some good strategic saves and went for it.

What really impressed me was the chap who did RE1 with the knife. RE3
and subsequent games are made far easier with the 180 turnaround trick
(Stab-turnaround-walk two steps-turnaround-stab, etc.) but this guy
killed the *Tyrant* using nothing but the knife. I've tried but he
always pummels me once or twice; this dude did it without a scratch!

RE:make is very possible. I admit that I resorted to the handgun in a
few tight spots. There are parts in the underground caves where no
matter how skilful I was there was no way to pick a hunter apart
without his mate interfering (Man that cost a lot of health items).
Then in the next room, with no healing items left, there'd be another
pair of hunters, and then in the next room....

One idea I had was to try and get the hunters arranged so that one is
standing behind the other. If one is being blocked, he can't
succesfully do his attack. You can get one hit in but just as you turn
around to do the two-steps-turnaround trick either he'd attack or his
mate would get past and clobber you before you had a chance to recover.

What was good (And downright pant-wettingly frightful) was when one
hunter did a claw attack **the exact second** the second did a jumping
slash. No matter how much health that's a game ender!

I'd advise anyone who's played the older games to death to attempt a
knife run (Even Jill's game in RE1 using just the handgun is good) as
you get to see how all the monsters behave. At times it feels that some
of their AI has worked out and decided it's bored being stuck in the
game and is coming to get you in real life.

Plus: Good challenge = extreme bragging rights.


Cheers,
Rob
