However, if you’re playing through RE2 Remake on Hardcore then it’s truly old school, including requiring Ink Ribbons. You can save as much as you like, without any items needed.
Standard and Assisted mode do not require anything else other than this. Pick a slot and your game will be fully saved up to this exact moment. Walk up to it and hit the action button to enter the Save menu. Every safe room in RPD and beyond, and a few random locations along the way will have a typewriter sitting conspicuously on a table nearby. It’s all about those old school typewriters.
Here’s how to save in Resident Evil 2 Remake. But if you aren’t an RE veteran, the mechanism might confuse you. You will need to manually save your game, and often. Sure, there’s auto-save checkpoints, but they’re few and far between. While most modern games auto-save regularly, or have a save option right in the main menu, Resident Evil 2 sticks to its survival-horror roots and keeps save opportunities to a minimum.
