If you folks are in need of even more- we are slowly releasing a series here on UA-cam. It's done in the same manner as this part of the documentary, and gets more in-depth regarding key aspects of the Raccoon City Destruction Incident. If the link doesn't work, simply search our videos for "The Lost City Files Episode 1". ua-cam.com/video/MS8iipQRpww/v-deo.htmlsi=-zDDLOXfBSGkXHmR
My lifelong dream!! You are amazing! When I was a kid I used to have books and books detailing everything that happened in the game. I was super fascinated with the history and timeline. I even made a giant binder detailing the history of the games, carried it everywhere. I put everything in storage and one day hoped to reread it but came to find out my father threw it all away. But anyhoo I’m so very glad and happy at how well your documentary is. Please continue your amazing work.
Bro I'm so glad there is someone out there like me. I don't know what it is about rezzy evil that sucks me in. Any video or game comic even just a poster and I want to know more. Resident evil was the game that got me to love anything zombie.
@russellcampbell3500 I was always a major horror fan. I came across RE in a gamepro magazine somewhere in 1996. But at the time, I was 11 or 12, so my mother was like "Rated M? No sir" lol. It wasn't until RE2 came out in '98 that I finally got to play: thanks to a friend lending a copy of the game. I was hooked ever since. RE2 captured my soul because I was a zombie fan to begin with, and the game being set in a city really spoke to me, because at the time, I lived in NYC, and often wondered what it would look like if zombies attacked the city.
@@Vipersfury86Gaming so it sounds like you were born in 82 like me. Oh man we had it so good with Saturday morning cartoons and the start of a generation of gamers. I was a Nintendo power kid but was play station came around it blew my mind and I have been hooked since. Cheers my gaming brother
This has to be the best Resident Evil documentary I've ever seen. It's very well done and I can see the dedication put into it. Thank you for telling the RE story the way it should be told. This story can easily be adopted into a TV series but the people controlling it have no idea what they're doing.
Dude, whoever cut this is very talented. I've heard this story a million times I grew up with it, yet, here I am watching it like I've never played the games. Very well done.
Bro, this is top tier stuff, wonderful use of synth wave to make it feel like a 80's horror flick, excellent voice acting, and the documentary style and feel is perfect! More proof why most RE fans never left Racoon city because there was still so much left to tell.
I was 33 fresh out of trucking school and took a route going through through Raccoon city... One day just before I was leaving to start my route I gotta call and was let go. I never knew why until now. All those people
Dude, I stumbled on this right after an absolutely soul crushing loss in the SB I found this video to take my mind off football. I can’t believe this only has a few thousand views and you only have ~600 subs. This is the most well done video I’ve seen on video game lore. Really fucking great job man, you should be a documentarian. Your editing with the real life clips were perfect. I don’t know how you found some of them, like tthe quote “we haven’t found them in the woods yet,” and the other real life clips around the the deaths of the hikers, was as good as a documentary you’d see on the bistory channel and MUCH better than what you’d see on true crime. Keep going with your stuff buddy, you have a gift. Thanks for sharing it with me.
A little clarity on a particular topic we see coming up in comments: whether it was right or wrong to describe the destruction of Raccoon being done by a nuclear weapon. You, the viewer, are watching this as if the Raccoon City incident was a real thing, and that you have been kept in the dark about the events. That would also include the film makers. Looking at the Canon events, it was LATER (years after the original RE3 released) described that it was confirmed to be an "experimental Thermobaric/ thermostatic weapon" that was used to destroy the city. But, when you watch the end of the original RE3, and the media reports in RE: Degeneration, it's described as nuclear: most likely because, if it was indeed an experimental weapon, the public would not have been informed about this. Just as well, most civilians see a mushroom cloud and automatically think nuclear. To add to the confusion, RE: Outbreak and Outbreak File 2 show the city being hit with multiple missiles, while the other games only show one. So, we decided to present the information the same way the in game media presented it, as nuclear. This is to give the notion that even to this day, the exact weapon used was never disclosed. Of course, we here in real life know what was actually used. But if this were a real event, we probably wouldn't have been told about a weapon that's supposed to be a secret. Because, you know, national security and what-not. The enthusiasm about this topic is actually awesome to us. Because this debate would probably be happening in the fictional RE world as well, among people who understand how nukes/WMDs work. And so, certain mysteries still persist in the growing RE universe 😊
A thermobaric bomb creates an explosion but creates a vacuum of sorts it also turns everything in its path into shrapnel ,it had to be a nuke , cannon should be established in og that whole "retro-fitting"cannon should be blasphemy That was def a nuke
When did they call it a thermobaric, lemme guess RE5 or re6? , and i hate to say it everything from 7 on isnt real re not to me , hell i almost dont even consider re4 real re its not a man made virus its a parasite,and the threat doesnt even connect to the first ones or to umbrella in anyway , umbrella just wants the parasite ,and five ,five is def not really an re game , its like a damn coin op action game .6 is just ridiculous (but actually super fun definitely much more fun than five, i did like how they connected 7 and 8 to the og trilogy, but at the same time, the company was founded to use the fungus, but no one ever knew of said fungi And supposedly its one of the main catalysts of the t virus or what have you, its doesnt make sense, dont get me wrong the idea is kinda cool but its like how in the new ghostbusters they tried to say ray of all ppl didnt believe egon that a demi god they had all fought, and didnt kill just sent back to where it came from would be coming back, you mean to tell me he not only believed his bestfriend but also the guy that proved ghosts are real and that you can contian them on TOP OF devising and building all the tech used to do so, you mean ray didnt believe that guy, naw ,weak huge plot hole,
@printisdead1983 Aside from the OG RE3 director stating it was an "experimental Termobaric weapon" that was used, I think it's referred to as such on one other, later game. We just stuck with the nuclear explanation, since several games and the CGI movies call it that. And, if this were a real event, and an experimental, secret weapon was used, we wouldn't have been told that's what it was. Moat people see a mushroom cloud and think Nuclear anyhow. I'm not as big of a fan of the later series: I love RE in general but the OG 3 games/ Raccoon City timeline is my absolute favorite thing. I wanna give the whole series some videos but I could also do a ton more on just this stuff alone.
@@Vipersfury86Gaming im right there with ya on the og 3 ,so it was an experimental thermo bomb, well then they could expand on that anyway they wanted , like oh its a thermo bomb BUT its this ,this and that too, so ok if the director says it is then ok but if the creator says nuke, i say nuke then
You forgot Spencer’s near death experience in Romania. There, Spencer meets Mother Miranda, who saved him from hyperthermia. Miranda showed Spencer the Mold and cadou. Spencer was thrilled when he saw this. But after many nights of intellectual talks, Spencer learned that Miranda only had interests in resurrecting her daughter, who died to the Spanish Flu in 1919, while Spencer had interests in creating a perfected human race. But Miranda’s experiments with the Mold and cadou laid the groundwork for Umbrella Corporation.
This is indeed true. But like some of the topics, we didn't Include every minute detail due to time constraints, but also, we have future projects coming out that will specifically cover topics like Umbrella's founding, that way we can dedicate an entire video to getting the entire backstory out there in this style!
Realistically I doubt Spencer would go into details about what happened in Romania, so nobody outside of him and a few close associates would know.(and Chris after RE8) I'd think he'd respect Miranda enough to not want people knowing about her little closed off village, nor what she was doing there. That and citing Miranda's activities as being his inspiration would not be a good public look for him or the company he was trying to build.
Dear Miranda, My deepest apologies for not meeting you in person. I would love nothing more than to visit your quaint village once more, however, I am incredibly busy. Then again, I suppose for an immortal woman such as yourself, you no longer remember this poor half-dead medical student in the snow. I have always cherished the revelations I came to 15 years ago when I stayed in your village. I was inspired by your research. To think, one could transform a human by infecting them with an organism. Positively visionary. I know that with that knowledge I could achieve my own vision for the next step in human evolution. Even after two world wars, and humanity on the cusp of another, my conviction never wavered. I realised, however though the many nights of intellectual talks you and I shared, that your conviction differed from mine. You hoped to bring back a single dead person. While I aimed to change the world. Your experiments on the mold would not have aided me in my endeavor to achieve an exponential infection. I thought a virus would be more effective. This is why, my dear, I had to leave you. I will regret never telling you goodbye. My apologies for reminiscing, I actually have news that I thought might please you. I have found the key to evolution! The "progenitor," a virus found in Africa. I plan to start a company with friends and colleagues, dedicated to the virus' research. I will call it Umbrella. Just like the symbol in the cave that we spoke about. I am one step closer to making my vision a reality. I hope you will be able to achieve your goal someday, too. You taught me so much and for that I will be forever in your debt. Sincerely, your life-long student, Oswell E. Spencer
I used to just turn that on & let that play while tidying up/chores etc...LOVED that intro vid (U.S.S. are my fav & GREAT scene)!~ (EDIT: I'd hum the theme, too...still know it/my fav part there is w the MP5 is bucking on the ground & right after. Like the tempo is the brass tinkling)
What a cruel betrayal and tragic fate for a city to be betrayed by those who swore to protect it. Really great video, better than some about real events.
Wow. This is extremely well done. Like many others, I know this story in n out, like the back of my hand. Hell I even have the umbrella logo tattooed on my body. But still I watch this entire thing and all I have to say is that the information is of the most pinpoint accuracy and profoundly entertaining. Again I say, extremely well done, I loved it!!
The Resident evil Outbreak intro still brings me chills and tears after so many years. Awesome video!! I bet you put a ton of effort in it! You have a new sub!
I don't know how you guys managed to do this, but you did!!! You made a resident evil documentary movie more entertaining than freaking multibillion dollar Sony companys cannot even dream of achieving!!! You guys are amazing!! If you keep doing full historical docu videos on all Resi and any other games, amo watch that sh* t all day broo!!! Thank you for this! Love u guys!!!
This is done perfectly! I can see how much love, energy, time and patience was given into this. More RE fans should know about this documentary, thank you very much! ♥ Will go watch the second part now.
This is so damn immersive!! It feels like the Racoon City destruction incident was a real disaster that truly happened in 1998, just as real as say 9/11, and that monstrous bioweapons are a normal form of warfare today. Incredibly well made! Best re documentary I've ever seen!
This is awesome! I love seeing documentaries happen on fictional events but as someone who was like in that universe. Like I always wondered what the pokemon world would look like from the eyes of a reporter finding out about the evil teams and terrorist attacks
I absolutely agree, what a great piece of art this is regarding the RE lore. I hope the algorithm keeps pushing this vid. Even as I`m watching almost everything on the topic since i don`t know when, this vid even if it is literally years old, did just recently show up on my recommendations 2 days ago. I hope it keeps on rolling like this!
I find the first 3 games in the RE timeline so fascinating when translated to a real life scenario. In the games you play either as a character that has some degree of combat training or/and survival skills like herbal medicine preparation and such. But we never get to see (outside of outbreak) the real extent of the horrors that everyday people went through, like a mother taking the kids to school on a September morning and all of a sudden gets surrounded by a mob of zombies or a guy on his way home from work and suddenly a Licker or Drain Deimos lands on his car attracted by the fast movement and noise. I see at least 95% of us die hard fans dying horribly in a situation like that and while it's terrifying, it's kind of really interesting at the same time.
@coldflamepr you hit the nail on the head with what we were trying to show. Like you said, in the series, we play as some hero-type, which is where the majority of focus lies, making it easy to forget that this was an ordeal that over 100,000 people dealt with for seven days. We had to do alot of research into developer interviews to get the full scope of what went on in the city behind the stories we see in the games.
This could be official capcom stuff. Good Job ! Edit: Also, what I like about Resident evil is just how much info we have about Umbrela, it's creator, the t-virus, it really do feel like a big iceberg with so many secrets so this video is also really good at explaining to new fans of the series the lore of the first 3 games in a very realistic manner.
well the clip of birkin getting shot and HUNK losing his composure is ruining the entire lore presented with the video hunk never loses his nerve and that's what REmake did wrong
Dude! Abso-fucking-lutely awesome work! I have seen lore vids in so many games, but this is so well put together. I know it was a year ago but I would give you a like for each day if I could. Loved this series since I was a kid and this just help encapsulate the experience and touch on so much backstory so well. 10000000000000/10
How am I only just now finding out about this?! What an amazing idea you're combining my two favorite things, Resident Evil and well done documentaries / docuseries
It's one thing to discover the information in pieces throughout the games, but to compile it in documentary form like this...kudos for creating a much easier to follow time-line.
Which evil dude? Our Voice actors only voiced some of the in-game files. If it's wesker you're referring to, those are all excerpts from previous works done by the three guys who voiced Wesker over the years
Somehow in my mind, as die hard Assassins Creed and Resident Evil fan I always imagined umbrella being owned by templars, just look at their logo.. it makes it more eerie, sad and disgusting, new world order, viral experimentation😢
I have been playing resident evil since I got my hands on resident evil directors cut for Sony's Playstation. That was about 23 years ago so guess you can say I have been a S.T.A.R.S memeber for a long time. Cudos to you my friend for telling our story!! 😉
This makes for a great mockumentary. I kept forgetting I was watching something based on a video game. Good job making it feel real life. This is very cool.
I’m gonna subscribe just cuz you’re the man for making this video. All resident evil fans should support you brother. I hope your channel takes off. You deserve it. Keep it up 👍
I was working at a gas station when the outbreak happens, there is this young fella who had the audacity to try and shoot me and didn’t pay. I tracked him on the police station while wearing my favorite hat and trench coat.
Woww!! This was a great documentary. There's information that I learned from being a RE fan just watching this. Thank you! Im going to watch Part 2 for sure. I hope you keep going with is because this is amazing, thank you!
Top notch gamentary ask your self Why you forget he is detailing a supposed fictional game. Great work to all who participated. Wonderfully delivered and presented.
Really enjoyed this video. I'm a huge fan of the series since the PS1 days, and it does bother me that many of the lore videos don't go in deph with the history behind many of the entries.
Crazy i grew up in Racoon City with my grandparents. Moved to Ohio with my dad a year before the attacks started. Never understood what happened and the fate of my grandparents was a mystery 🥺
VERY well put together. Well done man! I can plainly see the love care and passion that went into this video. This could easily be one of the most finally crafted videos on all of UA-cam. 💪🏾👍🏾
somebody needs to create a documentary about the insanity now happening on the streets also in canonical form while he still can before total chaos ensues.
Since they brought back Claire, Sherry, Chris, Leon, Ada, Jill numerous time, a part of me is mad that they never found a way to bring Billy Cohen back from RE0. Dude, this video is effing amazing. Truly stellar work.
Um because he’s a fugitive and needed to stay off the grid, wouldn’t make sense to bring him back and I’ve always have wondered why people don’t get that
@@TheKing8608_all the more reason to bring him back. But, looking at it from a legal standpoint, all evidence of his crimes were never clear and were wiped out during the outbreak meaning a court of law would most likely not convict him due to lack of evidence
This is an awesome lore video dude. Great job compiling real life footage with excerpts from in game documents to construct the full picture of Umbrella's nefarious doings.
Duuude, this is fucking fantastic. Ive been here over the years consuming the lore via games and the beloved SD Perry Books, but having it done in this fasion is absolutely incredible. Its like fanfic done by Dateline. 10/10
Very nice , congratulations , voice acting and data are amazing , also all images and videos are well done ❤ i need to watch part 2 next 👏 hugs from Uruguay
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, and it's about a fictional game. Lol. I'm a huge fan though. Very well done. I wish I could sub more than once.
I’ve always loved videos like this but I’ve never seen someone attempt to make it look real… and it was VERY satisfying and interesting to see, I hope to see more videos like this in the future but keep doing what YOU love ❤️
I like to watch video game lore on UA-cam and this is one of the best videos for this type of content ive ever seen. i can tell you put a lot of work into this it definitely shows. keep it up
Spencer’s paranoia eventually did him in. In the end even though it was Wesker who took him out it was only his own Karma catching up to him on for what he did to the Trevor family. Aside from his countless other evil deeds. Btw I really love how they set this up to appear as a real life documentary about Raccoon City.
That’s funny. Who knows. I think the corporations at the top most likely are sinister at their roots. But they are nights in shining armor to the public. We’ll never know. Until some shit happens
@@flashmasterp.2685 lmao nah dude it definitely didnt come from the "Wuhan Institute of Studying the Progenitor Virus to Make Bioweapons." Why would you possibly think that!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that you used Mad World piano instrumental as the intro. Very fitting for RE imo. Both, lyrically and musically, since most RE saferoom themes also heavily feature melancholic piano progressions.
Glad this video was recommended! This has to be the most in depth video on racoon city on youtube. Liked and subscribed. Its incredible how this has so little views. I jope others are getting this recommended also.
This is really good. Would love to see you do one of these documentary videos on the silent hill lore. Really great description of the events of racoon city. I'm only 20 minutes in atm as i'm typing this. Gonna watch the rest now, great job🙂👍
Something similar to this, delving into the first 3 silent hill games, is in the works. It's gonna be something that would resemble a 90s Television "Strange America" type of show
"I nearly was a Res Evil documentary SANDWICH". Given the frequency that Capcom rejig Res 1-3 (and now the gossip around the remake of Code Veronica X) , a documentary is always a tough if not impossible task. But this is SO WELL DONE 🎉🎉🎉.
This is one of those videos that will blow up eventually. Loads of people wanted this content from RE creators. This, plus bigfox's narration of the umbrella chronicles, and eventually lets hope that bill gates gets a hard on for all things Resident evil and ends up creating a 1/1 scale remake of the spencer mansion in north west America somewhere 😂
Aside from the loud AF music at some points this documentary is awesome, looking forward to listen to part 2 tomorrow. I like and a comment for the algo 👍🏼
If you folks are in need of even more- we are slowly releasing a series here on UA-cam. It's done in the same manner as this part of the documentary, and gets more in-depth regarding key aspects of the Raccoon City Destruction Incident.

Sweet memory though
I was definitely that kid/ teenager who hand wrote lore to games/ works of fiction that I enjoyed. I'm glad this was able to scratch that itch!

Agreed.
My brother was on the RPD when the Oubreak happened. He managed to escape with a group of survivors, but he was never the same.
I was a guy he arrested. Great guy. Changed my ways mainly because of him.
RC was hell dude…
I still think of that city 🌆
I was just a 10 years old kid when the outbreak happened.
Your brother saved me back then. Glad to know he also survived.
Raaaa grrrrrr raaaaaaaaarrrr.
This is criminally under rated.
Bruh, I forgot this documentary was talking about a game lol
Resident evil isn't about fictional events all of this is happening now in our current society
Dude, whoever cut this is very talented. I've heard this story a million times I grew up with it, yet, here I am watching it like I've never played the games. Very well done.
This is the difference between ART and Souless "trend chasers". Great job. Pure passion. REAL passion.

How would it be wrong, it was , it was literally totally and utterly obliterated by said destructive device
A thermobaric bomb creates an explosion but creates a vacuum of sorts it also turns everything in its path into shrapnel ,it had to be a nuke , cannon should be established in og that whole "retro-fitting"cannon should be blasphemy
That was def a nuke

And supposedly its one of the main catalysts of the t virus or what have you, its doesnt make sense, dont get me wrong the idea is kinda cool but its like how in the new ghostbusters they tried to say ray of all ppl didnt believe egon that a demi god they had all fought, and didnt kill just sent back to where it came from would be coming back, you mean to tell me he not only believed his bestfriend but also the guy that proved ghosts are real and that you can contian them on TOP OF devising and building all the tech used to do so, you mean ray didnt believe that guy, naw ,weak huge plot hole,

That resercher's will audio is haunting! Hearing those zombies in the background while he's recording is creepy af! Well done, this is awesome!

Not enough views for this masterpiece. One of the best lore videos I have seen on UA-cam.
Greetings from Germany.
Thank you for this! I have a weird obsession with Raccoon City. Id love a game or show set during its final days of normalcy.
I'll be damned if that isn't D.C. Douglas voicing Wesker. The voice is impeccable.
In some spots, yeah. We used excerpts from both "Wesker Reports" 1 and 2. D.C. voices wesker in one of those reports.
Dear Miranda,
My deepest apologies for not meeting you in person.
I would love nothing more than to visit your quaint village once more, however, I am incredibly busy.
Then again, I suppose for an immortal woman such as yourself, you no longer remember this poor half-dead medical student in the snow.

You hoped to bring back a single dead person. While I aimed to change the world.
Your experiments on the mold would not have aided me in my endeavor to achieve an exponential infection. I thought a virus would be more effective.
This is why, my dear, I had to leave you. I will regret never telling you goodbye.
My apologies for reminiscing, I actually have news that I thought might please you.
I have found the key to evolution! The "progenitor," a virus found in Africa.
I plan to start a company with friends and colleagues, dedicated to the virus' research. I will call it Umbrella. Just like the symbol in the cave that we spoke about.
I am one step closer to making my vision a reality. I hope you will be able to achieve your goal someday, too.
You taught me so much and for that I will be forever in your debt.
Sincerely, your life-long student,
Oswell E. Spencer
A documentary on Rsident Evil made to look like a real life documentary of a real place and events.... I like it.
Chopped and screwed version of "Mad World" for the intro....subtle but I caught it.
Resident evil outbreak was seriously underrated. That intro alone was the best intro in any RE game
I used to just turn that on & let that play while tidying up/chores etc...LOVED that intro vid (U.S.S. are my fav & GREAT scene)!~
(EDIT: I'd hum the theme, too...still know it/my fav part there is w the MP5 is bucking on the ground & right after. Like the tempo is the brass tinkling)
What a cruel betrayal and tragic fate for a city to be betrayed by those who swore to protect it. Really great video, better than some about real events.
Wow. This is extremely well done. Like many others, I know this story in n out, like the back of my hand. Hell I even have the umbrella logo tattooed on my body. But still I watch this entire thing and all I have to say is that the information is of the most pinpoint accuracy and profoundly entertaining. Again I say, extremely well done, I loved it!!
The Resident evil Outbreak intro still brings me chills and tears after so many years. Awesome video!! I bet you put a ton of effort in it! You have a new sub!
This is very legit, the Resident Evil lore has gotta be the best in any media involving video games or tv show or movies
I don't know how you guys managed to do this, but you did!!! You made a resident evil documentary movie more entertaining than freaking multibillion dollar Sony companys cannot even dream of achieving!!! You guys are amazing!! If you keep doing full historical docu videos on all Resi and any other games, amo watch that sh* t all day broo!!! Thank you for this! Love u guys!!!
This deserves WAY MORE VIEWS!! Excelent job.
Now this is the STORY, in respect to OG series of RE. This should be on a movie!! kudos to all behind of this!!!!
He did a better job than Hollywood could with millions of dollars. Thanks for the content.
This is done perfectly! I can see how much love, energy, time and patience was given into this. More RE fans should know about this documentary, thank you very much! ♥ Will go watch the second part now.
This is so damn immersive!! It feels like the Racoon City destruction incident was a real disaster that truly happened in 1998, just as real as say 9/11, and that monstrous bioweapons are a normal form of warfare today. Incredibly well made! Best re documentary I've ever seen!
This is awesome! I love seeing documentaries happen on fictional events but as someone who was like in that universe. Like I always wondered what the pokemon world would look like from the eyes of a reporter finding out about the evil teams and terrorist attacks
This is incredible, I can’t wait to watch the 2nd part of this. You got my sub from this alone I don’t care if you never make anything ever again
I absolutely agree, what a great piece of art this is regarding the RE lore. I hope the algorithm keeps pushing this vid. Even as I`m watching almost everything on the topic since i don`t know when, this vid even if it is literally years old, did just recently show up on my recommendations 2 days ago. I hope it keeps on rolling like this!
This documentary series is much better than all the live action RE movies and the awful Netflix series. Well done and thank you.
Lance Reddick was utterly wasted in that show.
It's almost astounding that Raccoon city is gone with how important of a landmark it is for all RE lore.
Damn I almost believed Raccoon City was real. 😳
No words can explain how well this doc is done, thank you very VERY much, be well to you all that worked on this Lo-Ki masterpiece.
watching a documentary that seems so real while it's not. what a day
The word you are looking for is mockumentary.
@@Danicatbh thank you. that's new to me
@@holtikultura911 glad I could help!
I find the first 3 games in the RE timeline so fascinating when translated to a real life scenario. In the games you play either as a character that has some degree of combat training or/and survival skills like herbal medicine preparation and such. But we never get to see (outside of outbreak) the real extent of the horrors that everyday people went through, like a mother taking the kids to school on a September morning and all of a sudden gets surrounded by a mob of zombies or a guy on his way home from work and suddenly a Licker or Drain Deimos lands on his car attracted by the fast movement and noise. I see at least 95% of us die hard fans dying horribly in a situation like that and while it's terrifying, it's kind of really interesting at the same time.
@coldflamepr you hit the nail on the head with what we were trying to show. Like you said, in the series, we play as some hero-type, which is where the majority of focus lies, making it easy to forget that this was an ordeal that over 100,000 people dealt with for seven days. We had to do alot of research into developer interviews to get the full scope of what went on in the city behind the stories we see in the games.
This could be official capcom stuff. Good Job !
Edit: Also, what I like about Resident evil is just how much info we have about Umbrela, it's creator, the t-virus, it really do feel like a big iceberg with so many secrets so this video is also really good at explaining to new fans of the series the lore of the first 3 games in a very realistic manner.
well the clip of birkin getting shot and HUNK losing his composure is ruining the entire lore presented with the video
hunk never loses his nerve and that's what REmake did wrong
Oh hell yeah, a documentary on the Raccoon Ciry Destruction Incident. Great work, you've earned a new aubscriber
this is amazing, my dude this feels like a documentary of a real city that got wiped out.
Dude! Abso-fucking-lutely awesome work! I have seen lore vids in so many games, but this is so well put together. I know it was a year ago but I would give you a like for each day if I could. Loved this series since I was a kid and this just help encapsulate the experience and touch on so much backstory so well. 10000000000000/10
I would love to see a documentary just like this on Dulvey, Louisiana and how all the factors eventually led to what happened with the Bakers.
I remember when all this happened. Can’t believe the memory holed this entire incident.
How am I only just now finding out about this?! What an amazing idea you're combining my two favorite things, Resident Evil and well done documentaries / docuseries
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve been searching high and low for some lore that doesn’t squeeze it all into a 20 minute video. This is perfect.
It's one thing to discover the information in pieces throughout the games, but to compile it in documentary form like this...kudos for creating a much easier to follow time-line.
Damn, who voiced that evil dude!! Grand master
Which evil dude? Our Voice actors only voiced some of the in-game files. If it's wesker you're referring to, those are all excerpts from previous works done by the three guys who voiced Wesker over the years
Somehow in my mind, as die hard Assassins Creed and Resident Evil fan I always imagined umbrella being owned by templars, just look at their logo.. it makes it more eerie, sad and disgusting, new world order, viral experimentation😢
I have been playing resident evil since I got my hands on resident evil directors cut for Sony's Playstation. That was about 23 years ago so guess you can say I have been a S.T.A.R.S memeber for a long time. Cudos to you my friend for telling our story!! 😉
This makes for a great mockumentary. I kept forgetting I was watching something based on a video game. Good job making it feel real life. This is very cool.
Someone needs to hire you to script a ‘Real’ resident evil movie/s. Good job. 👍
I’m gonna subscribe just cuz you’re the man for making this video. All resident evil fans should support you brother. I hope your channel takes off. You deserve it. Keep it up 👍
I was working at a gas station when the outbreak happens, there is this young fella who had the audacity to try and shoot me and didn’t pay. I tracked him on the police station while wearing my favorite hat and trench coat.
How did that end?
@@happymikasa7226he followed him in a truck and rammed him off the road to teach him a lesson
I can't even begin to articulate just how perfect this documentary is.
Woww!! This was a great documentary. There's information that I learned from being a RE fan just watching this. Thank you!
Im going to watch Part 2 for sure. I hope you keep going with is because this is amazing, thank you!
This is so cool. Gonna binge part 2 next
dude this is amazing i listen to a bit of this every night before bed.
This is a well-thought-out, planned, and executed video on the history of a video game. Nice work!
Top notch gamentary ask your self Why you forget he is detailing a supposed fictional game. Great work to all who participated. Wonderfully delivered and presented.
Really enjoyed this video. I'm a huge fan of the series since the PS1 days, and it does bother me that many of the lore videos don't go in deph with the history behind many of the entries.
Fucking claps, perfect video. Audio was fine. A truely dedicated person diligently made this production.
Absolutely amazing documentary, ties everything together so perfectly. Also amazing use of Dawn of the Dead news report footage at the end there.
I was looking for this type of resident evil story. I never thought it would be this good. It dwarfs all others. Amazing work!
You really made this look like it happen lol this is amazing from now on this is part of American history
Crazy i grew up in Racoon City with my grandparents. Moved to Ohio with my dad a year before the attacks started. Never understood what happened and the fate of my grandparents was a mystery 🥺
Wait a minute 🤨
VERY well put together. Well done man! I can plainly see the love care and passion that went into this video. This could easily be one of the most finally crafted videos on all of UA-cam. 💪🏾👍🏾
Really appreciate the aesthetics that the alot of the videos are footage from the 1990s.
somebody needs to create a documentary about the insanity now happening on the streets also in canonical form while he still can before total chaos ensues.
Since they brought back Claire, Sherry, Chris, Leon, Ada, Jill numerous time, a part of me is mad that they never found a way to bring Billy Cohen back from RE0.
Dude, this video is effing amazing. Truly stellar work.
Um because he’s a fugitive and needed to stay off the grid, wouldn’t make sense to bring him back and I’ve always have wondered why people don’t get that
@@TheKing8608_all the more reason to bring him back.
But, looking at it from a legal standpoint, all evidence of his crimes were never clear and were wiped out during the outbreak meaning a court of law would most likely not convict him due to lack of evidence
Killed it bro... high quality stuff... good job.
This deserves many more likes. Thanks for this.
This is an awesome lore video dude. Great job compiling real life footage with excerpts from in game documents to construct the full picture of Umbrella's nefarious doings.
Duuude, this is fucking fantastic. Ive been here over the years consuming the lore via games and the beloved SD Perry Books, but having it done in this fasion is absolutely incredible. Its like fanfic done by Dateline. 10/10
Oh yeah I’ve been looking for something like this for so long! Great work!
Thank you for this masterpiece please redo the whole franchise
Very nice , congratulations , voice acting and data are amazing , also all images and videos are well done ❤ i need to watch part 2 next 👏 hugs from Uruguay
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, and it's about a fictional game. Lol. I'm a huge fan though. Very well done. I wish I could sub more than once.
I’ve always loved videos like this but I’ve never seen someone attempt to make it look real… and it was VERY satisfying and interesting to see, I hope to see more videos like this in the future but keep doing what YOU love ❤️
Omg, what a fantastic documentary, I'm gonna share this video for sure!
Watching this is seriously making me lean towards the decision of making some kind of short movie based in the RE universe
Youve done so well you should be proud this is excellent man
Absolutely amazing recap bro, love it, thank you
Wow! This is really, really good. I'm not even a Resident Evil fan, and I am enjoying the hell out of this.
I like to watch video game lore on UA-cam and this is one of the best videos for this type of content ive ever seen. i can tell you put a lot of work into this it definitely shows. keep it up
Spencer’s paranoia eventually did him in. In the end even though it was Wesker who took him out it was only his own Karma catching up to him on for what he did to the Trevor family. Aside from his countless other evil deeds. Btw I really love how they set this up to appear as a real life documentary about Raccoon City.
This is so well put together 💯🔥,keep up the great work
Man this Pfizer documentary is awesome
That’s funny. Who knows. I think the corporations at the top most likely are sinister at their roots. But they are nights in shining armor to the public. We’ll never know. Until some shit happens
I'm more concerned about the Wuhan lab with the literal umbrella logo at their front....
@@flashmasterp.2685 lmao nah dude it definitely didnt come from the "Wuhan Institute of Studying the Progenitor Virus to Make Bioweapons." Why would you possibly think that!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that you used Mad World piano instrumental as the intro. Very fitting for RE imo. Both, lyrically and musically, since most RE saferoom themes also heavily feature melancholic piano progressions.
Glad this video was recommended! This has to be the most in depth video on racoon city on youtube. Liked and subscribed. Its incredible how this has so little views. I jope others are getting this recommended also.
such a good job, great content 🤘
Thanks so much for this beautiful documentary I've always imagined that if everything we've seen in Resident Evil happened in real life
This is so unbelievably well put together.
This is really good.
Would love to see you do one of these documentary videos on the silent hill lore.
Really great description of the events of racoon city.
I'm only 20 minutes in atm as i'm typing this.
Gonna watch the rest now, great job🙂👍
Something similar to this, delving into the first 3 silent hill games, is in the works. It's gonna be something that would resemble a 90s Television "Strange America" type of show
@@Vipersfury86Gaming that should be interesting.
Don't think i ever watched strange america before.
Can't wait to watch it. Been loving this one so far!
No lie. I listen to this everyday. I needed this back in the day❤
"I nearly was a Res Evil documentary SANDWICH". Given the frequency that Capcom rejig Res 1-3 (and now the gossip around the remake of Code Veronica X) , a documentary is always a tough if not impossible task. But this is SO WELL DONE 🎉🎉🎉.
This is one of those videos that will blow up eventually. Loads of people wanted this content from RE creators. This, plus bigfox's narration of the umbrella chronicles, and eventually lets hope that bill gates gets a hard on for all things Resident evil and ends up creating a 1/1 scale remake of the spencer mansion in north west America somewhere 😂
I love this style, it reminds me of Orsen Wells narration of war of the worlds, as if it's all true, very nice!
Aside from the loud AF music at some points this documentary is awesome, looking forward to listen to part 2 tomorrow.
I like and a comment for the algo 👍🏼
