Quick question, is the main reason to go TMP and HC over CT just to do the el gigante escape and a few other tidbits quicker and be able to carry a couple more grenades? Is the time save that much? Or am i missing something else as well?

Hey all. So planning my NG+ xbox 360 file and have been thinking over possibilities for picking up grenades during the run. Particularly flash grenades. I am wanting to maybe know of around 4 easy ones. I already know of the flash on the table at the end of 5-4. Also i saw JTB pick one up in a NG run in the cells area in 5-4, just before the regenerator. Is that a permenant? Can anyone give me some other permenant easy locations? Again, preferrably flash grenades, but normal grenades may help too. Thanks in advance. :) Mud

So continuing my ideas of grandeur by posting tidbits of info that i find interesting and might help other new runners.

Using the Striker glitch i found that i couldn't do a 180 auto turn. Everytime i tried it, I auto did two 180 turns. Very frustrating. However, I finally.found a solution. If you press forward or back immediately after hitting the action button, you continue moving according to the direction you face after one 180 turn and dont have to suffer a second 180 turn. Also i noticed that wether you release, hold or press again the action button there is no affect.

So that problem solved, anyone else got any interesting things to note about the Striker glitch?

So i was playing around with setting up a NG+ save file on xbox 360 and needed to get me 6 gold eggs. Found some interesting things that i thought i would share for the benefit of newer runners. Also to see if anyone had anything to add. So here are some things i believe to be of use:

1. There are around 6 or 7 chickens in the farm area. If you stand just in front of the "well" and face the area, there are 2 near the cannine on your left and 4 or 5 on your right. All chickens seem to be capable of laying, but it appears that more often than not, the 2 will lay eggs and then 2 of the bigger group will also lay. Hence most of the time you will only get four eggs dropping per visit.

2. Moving too fast, shooting etc disturbs the chickens and seems to delay their laying time. It seems that if you stand near the well from the moment you re-enter from the village, there is a strong chance of getting 3 to 4 quick lays. Hence the quickest method for farming seems to be come in, wait for 3 or 4 eggs, then exit and re-enter.

3. The timers per chicken seem to mostly be quite short. Quite often an egg will be laid before i stand still and fairly regularly 2 or 3 will be done with a few seconds of waiting. So mostly it seems best not to wait very long once the 3rd egg is laid. Maybe 30 seconds max.

So all in all i think keeping all this in mind, farming for gold eggs for a speedrun inventory could be done within an hour or two easy enough. That is unless you want like 50 gold eggs.

Hi all.

Im wanting to begin attempting speed running Re4 NG+ on xbox 360. Been watching lots of your videos and walkthroughs lately and currently working on setting up my NG+ files. So that being said, i have a few questions.

1. With xbox is there an easy way to setup inventory, or am i stuck running the game and gradually collecting what i need?
2. Obviously im not gonna get a WR time anytime soon, but for when i get close etc, whats an easy/cheap way to vid record my runs on xbox?
3. I was watching a lot of the videos on the re4 central youtube channel, but now they are all private. Are they locked away for a reason? Can i get access to them?

There will probably be more questions later but thats probably enough for now. Thanks in advance to anyone answering. :D
