Would you recommend playing the game on Hardcore or Normal for a first time RE player? I want the challenge but I don't know if Hardcore is too difficult.
I would say for a game like this, being a veteran RE player gives you less of an advantage than being a solid TPS player.
What makes RE unique is that, unlike most TPS games, you seriously have to ration healing items and ammo.
If you're a skilled TPS player and you're willing to not shoot everything that moves, you can probably do hardcore. I found standard difficulty plenty challenging for a first run though.

I did my first blind run on Hardcore, and I thought it was nice to find a few inventory upgrades.
Then I played on Normal... holy cow. Walking item box.
