It's a remake. We didn't have Autosaves 25 years ago.

I'm not aware of how often the check points are but there are check points at many spots in the game, in addition to the save points. Like for example the game triggers a checkpoint save at the start of the first boss fight.

Just go to load and see how long ago the game made a checkpoint save.

This part is essential for survival horror genre. Because you are afraid of it.

It's really not much of thing in this game. It auto saves quite a bit. Like during moments when something you do triggers a bunch of monsters you'll see the check point save icon in the bottom right. Most of the time when I check the load screen while playing there is a checkpoint at most a few mins back.

^ Limited ability to save is used to increase the tension of certain moments because if you die you very realistically lose something that's tangible to you the player.

It used to be worse, the early Resident Evil games actually required you to find an Ink Ribbon item to be able to save which meant you were limited to when and how often you could save your game.

Noooo... why does the remake have the savepoints + checkpoints?!
I'm going insane!!!

Not really. It only does that as you progress through the story and before big encounters.
If you are simply going to get one part for puzzle with tons of enemies nearby there are no auto saves. It makes it interesting when you play on hard.

the remake do have auto save i died on the hospital boss and next time i loaded the game i was back in the room right away

[KatBoXChimpacide]

It's you, haven't died once and just finished the hospital part. There are PLENTY of health items on normal difficulty.

then there's me hoping someone makes a mod that removes some of them...imo there are way too many save points. And too many healing items now that i'm thinking about it.
