"The dog Leon could rescue from the bear trap near the start of the original game is already dead by the time he finds it in the remake." under Death by Adaptation, but no one has actually confirmed that it's the same dog in the Chainsaw Demo, so I feel like this is Speculative Troping and should be commented out until the actual game's release. I remember how when IGN commented about that, there was pushback on "wait till the game is out."
Hide / Show RepliesThe game is now out, and can confirm that the encounter is simply moved to a later point in the game.
You can skip most of the infamous village fight by shooting the church bell. Since this is intentional it probably belongs under Developer Foresight or Easy Level Trick.
Can someone write an entry for Dynamic Difficulty? Haven't played the game yet but interested in learning how it handles this relative to the original, or if it's more like the way it's been done since the 7th game in 2017.
