  • Today we look back on the origins of Capcom's biggest franchise. A game featuring a spooky mansion, pre-rendered backgrounds, live action actors, the worst voice acting ever, and of course, a Jill Sandwich. It's Resident Evil's Humble Beginnings.

    Quick turn, auto aim, knife no longer takes inventory space, and you can skip cutscenes and even the door animations.

    apparently the original actors were given lines but had no idea what thee context was so they did multiple takes. the scouting agents at capcom spliced the lines together but didn't speak much English. In Japanese markets most buyers didn't notice because English wasn't their native tongue but it sounded strange to English's speaking markets.

    • @GuyDude-hk8uy
      @GuyDude-hk8uy 11 місяців тому

      That completely matches the way it sounds imo - like native English speakers reading lines without context, which were then spliced together and assembled by non native-English speakers. The whole thing has this uncanny sound, because the pronunciation, accents etc. are perfect, but the intonation, cadences etc. are all wrong.

I was the oldest Soni got to play my game first, and I put in Resident Evil and the TV powered on after the PS Logo and whatnot so the first image we saw was that intro cutscene... both my brothers shouted at me, "TV video! You gotta press TV video!!" And holding the controller I looked back at them and said I'm with WAY TOO MUCH seriousness, "It is on TV video," and we were all flabbergasted and hooked. It was an amazing Christmas morning, I think 7th grade maybe?...

    Man it feels almost alien to look at original Resident evil and then compare it to what came afterwards. We went from very campy survivor horror to action movie levels of mission impossible with some zombies thrown in the later games then back to survival horror with 7 and then back again with action movie with 8. Although there is a charm to the campiness of the original OG game which thank God 4 remake kept a good chunk of its campiness from the original version of 4 even if a lot of it isn't completely there. It's just something you can't remove from Resident Evil no matter what. That said the best thing to come from this is the realization that Barry Burton's English voice actor is the same guy who voices red from Mega man X7. Oh and the Jill sandwich line never forget that line lol. Great job Clement!

    Honestly, I really wish for a second remake too...of RE2. I want me those fixed camera angle, the prerendered world, and beautiful clunky ass tank controls. I miss the old style of Resident Evil, with it's mix of sincerity and 80s/90s camp, and despite not having personally played a classis style RE game (my first one was the Wii version of RE4) until late last year (2022) or early this year (2023), it hooked me immediately. It (REmake) also freaked the pants off me, so, there's that. The modern remakes have never actually been horror games for me, not even the much lauded RE2 Remake, I've enjoyed (most of) them (some of the time), but for me they have more problems that bright spots. So I'd really love for RE2 and RE3 to get remakes in the classic style, the way that the original Resident Evil did back on the Gamecube, but with all the power modern machines can give...oh, and the old art styling, I really dislike the RE Engine faces, they're friggin ugly to me, too real.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So I'm not the only one who thinks Wesker was bitter about the Tyrant to his dying day! And I'm not the only one to say, "Still Dawn is the Emerald Coast theme, right?"
    Regarding why zombie deaths are inconsistent, I heard that every bullet fired in RE1 is randomized to mimic enemies having varying levels of toughness, I guess without needing to program said toughness. If true, hopefully that's not disappointing to hear.
