How does the leaderboard work exactly? I am confused to see that the people that are top 3 are pc users :(. I'm not a pirate so I only play my own games. Will there be any chance for me to get Top 3? Also, I've heard Biohazard is easier than Resident Evil. I know their the same game but I just needed to confirmation. Which one is it better to run?

Well, here is my try to answer u, as good as i can. To complete game, as fast as u can u should play in PC version, cause its more comfy, stable & fastest (atm) version for speedrun. Biohazard & resident evil difference : 1. Original title In Homeland (JAP) 2. Subt, text on their language, which is faster to scroll then eng. 3. Able to skip door animation, instead cutscenes (gc vers) which, again, much faster. About difficult - in bio2 - same 3 types - easy , normal , hard ( nightmare). About any chances to challenge top runs - Your own wish for be in top list + practice, practice,practice. Hope this was helpful.

There is a varible to sort by platform, change it to the console you are playing on and there you go.

Biohazard is considered easier because of slightly different zombie and item placement. Resident Evil (PAL) the European version for consoles has the fastest IGT (compared with NTSC (US) and NTSC-J (JP)) but runs 17% slower in RTA.
