What is allowed to get A and/or S rank?

[Absolute MADLAD]

Am I allowed to use any or all of the unlockable items? Can I save as many times as I want for A rank? am I allowed to die and use continues?

Yes to all questions. Just finish the game within the time frame and 5 saves or less if you want S.

Keep in mind that pressing continue will carry the time over from when you died, load the game again to reset the timer to when you saved the game.

I think i'ts pretty the same as RE2.
Save the less you can, don't die and SPEEDRUN.

You can check requirements in pause menu.
Speed is only thing that counts unless youre going for S.

Yeah, I already saw them but it just seems crazy that I would be allowed to use weapons with infinite ammo and still get S rank. Pretty sure that wasn't allowed in previous games in the franchise.

Yeah it's very weird that you can get the S rank by just steamrolling the game with a rocket launcher, but hey, nothing's stopping you from not using them at least, so if you want a challenge, go for it.

I kinda dig that. How accessible the rankings become and the difficulty is ultimately up to the player. It does however deflate the bragging rights for S rank a bit, atleast without also breaking down all the self imposed limitations. RE7 did this stuff best though I think where you could do a run just to unlock X item then use that in a run to make it easier to unlock more goodies.

I wish RE1R used a similar system to RE2R and RE3R. In RE2R and here you get your items in the item box instead of the very start of the game, while in RE1R you start with whatever bonuses you got, so if you want to replay the game again on an old save (for new costumes for example) you'll be running around with the infinite pistol / rocket launcher if you beat the game in under 5/3 hours
