What do you guys think? Should we add it?

FYI, the main difference with NG is the infinite rocket launcher. But since some people are running it...

Hmm Garl to be honest im not so sure about this category i mean as far as i know on the original version on ps1 pc etc the enemies have higher health values im not sure if that applies to this version and who exactly is running this NG+ mode ?

and another thing to get the rocket lawnchair you have to beat this game in under 3 hours do you know how difficult that is no one who runs this game can do it its impossible brother we just cant do it OpieOP

My stance on NG+, especially for RE1, has always been if NG+ is allowed then make that the standard. As in, do not have New Game. The alternative, in my opinion, is to not allow NG+ altogether.

There is really no reason to have both NG+ and NG for RE1, they are practically identical, especially in the case of Jill.

In turn it also makes Chris' scenario play out far more similar to Jill's. Which makes Chris' entire scenario more redundant.

The main issue here is if we have a new category it is basically a Free WR category for new runners lets be honest i also understand yeah it could be fun to run and has intrigued me but we have Any% 100% (best ending) knife only 3 categories to run in this version yeah we could add New Game Plus as another category to run but then you would get new potential runners who get a free wr scream joy about it brag about it etc im not saying this is what would happen for new runners but i have seen it for myself and then it means we would run it destroy their times if new runners do become interested by that category and then complaints will arise about this is unfair its not possible etc etc if we are going to add this we are going to need to discuss this in detail look at all options possible outcomes etc just my thoughts on this i understand exactly where wulfz is coming from and i agree for the most part but we need to look at this seriously otherwise the board may become a joke overfilled with empty categories and it just involves more cleaning up really so i guess we should discuss this......

In the case of introducing new runners: people who are genuinely interested in the game will compete with what's there before they expect something new. In the case of someone just wanting an easy, no value "WR" in an empty category that is only so because of a technicality, they would likely either never run the game again or delete their times because it's no longer WR. I've seen it happen before. Including on RE1.

Like I will always say, if RE was devoid of absolutely any freedom for choice, I could understand category requests. But it isn't, nor has it ever been devoid of choice. The people who do not run a single established category are always the ones who never run again once outplayed. This is why whenever I see a request similar to this nature, it's hard to take it seriously.

I mean this is only my opinion, I personally just find it hard to take boards seriously when every minute stipulation possible is categorized and separated into its own thing.

i agree i mean DS has 3 categories im excluding rebirth as that is a meme i think we all agree there honestly i only see a few runners doing NG+ as only the runners who truly run this game would really only participate

well i attempted a NG+ run and have to say yes it was fun to do yes we can truly see how fast this game can be done but overall we do need to have a deciding factor

Well, i vote no. There's more than enough categories for this game already to have some fun imo. Hell, some of them aren't even routed yet. There's still a lot of work to do with the existing categories.

So yeah, i'd say if someone want to run NG+, no problem, but the run will not appear on SR.com (yes, including mine, no free WR Kappa)

i completely agree with you it is fun to do but not really worth putting any huge time into optimizing it etc besides we have rebirth to do as well what no meme category that is thats for pros only Kappa OpieOP
