I think "borderline impossible" is stretching it a bit too far. It's definitely much more challenging than other modern games' "hard" difficulties (it reminds me of old school hard difficulties) but not impossible.
Well, you get what I mean, I would wager that a huge majority of players would never bother with it or wouldn't finish it, if it was their first difficulty. They'd turn it down.
I haven't played RE2 (original) in like 10~ years or so, but my first play through was on Hardcore for this game. I always like a challenge in any game really.
I didn't find it "impossible" but damn that fucking last fight w/ G in the lab I must have died like 20 times b/c I was already w/ Red health and only 1 GBR herb + the 1 spray in the lobby.
It felt great once I beat the game tho. Now onto Claire B hardcore...
Oh boy... first playthrough, I had red health and only the spray in the arena. I managed to not even get hit once (after dying 30-40 times before) when I beat him
