    not once have i felt frustration from tanks controls in a RE game. the game was designed to work with them. even when i played when i was in elementary school i had no problems XD
    nice video

    That Gamecube remake was so good. It's a crime they didn't remake RE2 like that. A CRIME!

    • @Arcadology
      @Arcadology  7 років тому +3

      If I recall correctly they are actually remaking RE2 like that right now - not entirely sure of what the status is. My next history will be about Resident Evil 2, so I'll definitely have more info in that video!

      Oh cool can't wait to watch that one! I played the REmake once on Gamecube then all over again on Ps4 to get my wife into the series. The revolutionary thing about re 2 was the multiple playthroughs with different character perspectives. Nier Automata did it as well but RE 2 perfected it almost 20 years ago!

    • @Toobielove
      @Toobielove 7 років тому +1

      I hope they give RE2 remake the REmake treatment. And I hope they can add a Scenario C where Leon and Claire didn't get separated like in darkside chronicles and it plays like Zero. Imagine how cool will that be?!?!!! XDDD

    • @uranium5694
      @uranium5694 6 років тому

      REmake 2 unfortunately won't have tank controls and fixed camera angles but a 3rd person perspective like RE 4.

    • @onionheadguy7094
      @onionheadguy7094 4 роки тому +4

      @Dominic dominic REmake only flopped because it was stuck on the GameCube. It has since sold well enough.

    I never had trouble with the tank controls personally, but I can agree that graphically it has aged worse than a 2D game like Super Mario RPG, which came out a few months after Resident Evil

    • @Arcadology
      @Arcadology  7 років тому

      Yeah you will find that with a lot of early 3D model games. They just graphically are a bit rough around the edges but sprite games tend to stand the test of time more.

    • @Toobielove
      @Toobielove 7 років тому

      I feel it still looks pretty good on a CRT due to the pre-rendered backgrounds. But when hooked to the big screen LED with the PS3 it looks pure shite! Lololol. Thank goodness we got the HD remastered remake. XD

    Still to this day,nothing matches the pure creepyness of the orginal, the red corridor, the balcony where forest died and the blood covered hallway before the balcony, find Inc enneth being eaten ynthe first zombie. Maybe it's because I was young wen I first played it, however still to this day it creeps me out.

    Hey, thanks for using my track man! I'd never even heard of Sweet Home before now, which seems strange, because I could see that game doing well if it were re released today.

    • @Arcadology
      @Arcadology  7 років тому +1

      Hey, it's an awesome track sir! And yeah, I feel like a straight up Sweet Home remake would be very intriguing. Probably couldn't happen though because the game is tied to the movie.

    The plot itsel isn't good, actually is crap, but the mystery solving and the player participation in the story makes it feel very good, and very clever sometimes

    • @Arcadology
      @Arcadology  4 роки тому +1

      That's a fair assessment. I try to avoid saying "good or bad" now adays myself because they can be limiting in how you desribe your feelings about something. I'd go with "cheesy" haha

    I never thought the voice acting was bad in Resident Evil. The voice acting was great. However It was not produced in scenes but separately and then put together afterwards which makes it so awkward. It also had some translation errors.

  • @MaxBraver555

    Remake was great but its exclusivity to Gamecube is what hurt its sales and the franchise, followed by RE0

    • @TheScotchaholic
      @TheScotchaholic 6 років тому

      Capcom was incredibly stupid to think a "family friendly" console would yield great sales for a M rated game horror-gore based game. Capcom built it's success on the budding franchise's release on Sony's PS1 - where it should have stayed and THEN, ported to all other platforms. Nintendo will NEVER lose it's "kiddie console-family friendly" status - despite their successful franchises. They will NEVER garner the mature-adult type gamers that want M rated titles and "serious" toned games. That is province of Sony and PC/Microsoft.

    • @Colonel2005

      It wasn't for resident evil being on the gamecube I never would have bought one and would have missed out on all the great gamecube exclusives and I would have had to wait long time to play resident evil 4. I also bought a dreamcast because code veronica was on it.

    That RE gameplay footage is definitely from actual hardware. Do you have a framemeister, or some other upscaler?

    • @Arcadology
      @Arcadology  7 років тому +1

      Hey there! So the footage is actually from World of Longplays, the player Spazbo, is mentioned in the credits, so you might want to check with him. I was trying to capture while in pre-production on this one and was never happy with the quality. While in editing I simply scaled it up in Premiere.

    Tank controls is not an argument or criticism, even outside the RE franchise as well. Cuz if it was big issue, then the series wouldn't have spanned 6 solid installments with strong following and success with a huge fanbase even back then.

      I kinda miss taking trips to our local video store. Was down the street, and my friends and I would take walks there discussing what to get. (Which normally was some schlocky horror flick that had a cool "back of the box" and a couple games.)

    @STABxWEST 7 років тому

    This is a well-made video with great information but.... am I the only one who finds it extremely distracting that the host doesn't look directly into the camera? Instead, it's painfully obvious he is just going off cue cards below the lens.

    • @Arcadology
      @Arcadology  7 років тому +2

      Nope. Several people have in fact commented on that. That’s why I’m not doing on camera work until I get lens mounted TelePrompTer.
