Confused about health regen

[Samz]

Now people say theres absolutly no health regen on madhouse, however for me (I'm not far, just after the garage fight) It seems Ethan DOES regen health, at least enough to stop limping

If your screen is blinking red, you do recover health just until the blinking stops

I don't think that's health regen. It's just him recovering from being stunned. It seems that blinking serves more just as an immediate "WARNING!" that you're close to death before clearing up to allow you to see.

Can't say anything about madhouse but there is a small bit of regen on normal. Fighting off the molded with a knife I was constantly at a low level of health. While I was roaming around I noticed the blood effects were slowly diminishing. Can't say if you can eventually heal to full but it is there.

Yeah seems your right, the first four legged moulded in madhouse scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of me "YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE YET!" and I was too slow to block and I got killed

Resident Evil 6 had health regeneration.

Yeah this is a weird one. One of the Madhouse bullet point changes specified no health regen, which is a good thing and made me question why this game would have regen by default in the first place.

But now that I'm doing a run on one of the normal difficulties I figured I'd go for that "Use 3 or less healing items" achievement - and there doesn't seem to be any regen on the base difficulties either. I got knocked into the red from the Jack basement fight, and have been there ever since (I'm now up to the Barn area with Lucas..).

So yeah, maybe at best each colour stat has a threshold (Danger Red: 0-30%, Yellow Caution 31-60%, Green Fine above that as a rough stab in the dark guess) and the normal mode's regen allows you to recover to the top of each one only?

I didn't know there even was health regeneration on easy and normal. Never noticed it. On a side note, is there a way to disable the "bloody screen" effect??

Well, I don't think there is any regen, as I've gone through most of the game with blood on my screen while still in the green. Eating an herb or two, or using a first aid removes this, which says to me that I was still somewhat damaged.

I believe there's an option to disable it in either the Display or Graphics menus.

Strange.
In my current and aforementioned run I got hit into the limping state by jack until I semi recovered to normal walking pace. Been in the red since then but I have been hit by a bunch of bees/spiders during the whole Marguerite sections etc. So I've been taking damage since then and now. I really should have died at this point so I imagine I am regenerating atleast some amount.
