"I'm not shocked the Daily Mail still wants video games to be considered a top-shelf product, when they enjoy reaching so much." Charlie, you fuckin' genius!
I still remember when my older brother played this. He killed all the zombies in a room before leaving it. When he came back into the room, the zombies are there, leaving him to kill them again.
The Georgepart cracked me up. Makes you wonder if some of the devs knew what pile of garbage they were bringing out and were afraid of being associated with it.
Survivor is one of those games where everytime I play it I consistently am dumbfounded at what I am playing. Its such a big departure yet its strange most people ingore it. Anyway, Merry Christmas comment section.
One of the epilogue files did say that Leon was stuck getting involved with the government to keep close to Sherry and ensure she wasn't torn apart in a lab. Though how being conscripted into the secret service or whatever gets you ties to a super-spy who gets amnesia faster than an RPG protag, who knows. Then again, Resident Evil is the universe where parasites can be injected into the blood stream and make a person grow to killer whale proportions in a matter of seconds. Or make a man turn into a Meat-Transformer.
You know what I'd like to see? Some of the characters from these lesser known games actually be given new games in the main canon but actual GOOD games. So many franchises run their flagship characters into the ground to the point where they lose their interesting qualities. Meanwhile you have these spin-off games that have these characters with potentially interesting stories but they're wasted on one game and then never used again.
A Resident Evil Survivor, Dead Aim, or Code Veronica remake would be cool, but I don’t want Capcom just throwing the project away to the B or C team like they did with RE3. Wouldn’t mind new games with those characters though since like you said they had potential.
Fun video. Ah, I remember how Columbine affected video games. _Project Justice_ the sequel to _Rival Schools_ (an amazing 2D fighter set in high school) got such a limited release that I consider myself lucky that I was able to pick up a copy. I'm glad because it's such a great fighter even though it's sad we never got a third RS game. Nuts!
Here in Ukraine, I had this game on the dysk with RE3 and it was called Resident Evil 4 (written with ordinary red letters, unlike actual RE4), I think it was around 2004-2005, since in a post-Soviet countries we had a generation-size delay regarding console market. Actually PS1 is a real breakthrough in this regard, because before it we had something called Dandy which was an illegal copy of SNES or something like that, can't say much, I didn't have it, but my friend did. Only in late PS3/X360 generation we caught up with the modern market, still using illegal firmware and pirated games, and only those who had money for consoles (I think X360 cost something like 3-4 months of avarage salary in Ukraine back in 2010, so even if you already had a console, you had to be incredibly rich to buy games legally). And only only now, I think, majority of gamers here are able to use legal products and services. So I am born in 1998, but, strangely, PS1 is a console of my childhood. And this game, because of 1 person perspectivy was way scarier for me as a child. When you went into a new room, you could be face to face with a bunch of zombies ready to eat you. Not even talking about dogs, lickers, ravens, or Mr.X / Nemesis (I don't which one was there, but it was scary as hell when you first met him and he starts to move towards you). And yeah, of course we didn't have any gun-controllers, so I think we played an American version mentioned in this video. Without it, I guess, there would be no RE4 on my PS1. And in my memory it looked better and scarier comparing to what I see now. And controls weren't so scratchy, it felt like a normal first-person shooter. And yeah, keep in mind that almost in all games we had some bullshit translation which was even worse then no tranlation (but no one really knew English at all back then), so, something like Silent Hill 1 was hell of a ride to try to understand. We never really tried to understand what is going on, we just played and dream up in our heads for ourselves what is happening here, who is talking about what, the plot, "lore" and all that, based mostly on the feelings of the game and the visuals. It was like if all the games were like Dark Souls squared back then.
I actually forgot about Survivor, I remembered the dead aim and other light gun games. They sort of all merged into one of "urgghh it's not what we wanted but it was interesting to say the least"
Merry Christmas Brit! Super sorry, but I had to cancel my Patreon pledge. I'm having to save every penny at the mo but will definitely support you again in the future! Good luck you bloody hero!
That's the series I've been waiting for. While watching it, I couldn't stop thinking about what you would say about dead aim. And holy fuck, I had no idea it was originally called survivor 4, now that explains things.
Ryudjn An employee at Game Stop told me Dead Aim was the best game in the series and that I should buy it over RE4. From that day I knew Game Stop was just no good.
Merry Christmas! Great review for a game I used to love as a child (for some unknown reason). I don´t know what it is with Resident Evil and Light Gun Shooters! On paper it sounds awesome, but damn...Survivor 1 & 2 with it´s clunky controls, Dead Aim and the Chronicles Games with their weird camera motions...it can´t be that hard to make a Light Gun Shooter!
Why do companies never remake objectively bad games like this? Nobody would care what you would change in the remake because no one really enjoys or is passionate about this game. You could literally just use RE7 as a template and you’re all good.
Ah!Damnit I completely forgot about the promised Onimusha videos. Couldnt you just have...you know...sneakily deleted the old video and pretended that never happened? No,instead now Im clamoring for something that will never be... Jeez...well merry christmas anyway...gawd that shit is going to bug me for the rest of the day.
The name "Mr. X" only refers to the specific T-103 model Tyrant that appeared in Resident Evil 2. Countless other T-103s were created on Sheena Island. Also, he was only called by the name "Mr. X" in the novelization of the game, which isn't canon.
ok, now I want to play lightgun RE on my Wii. P.S. BTW, long time wanted to get Gun Survivor, good to know US version isn't compatible with the light gun.
You forgot something, you cant save in this game, you have to beat it in one sitting. About the lack of lightgun support in the US, the Dreamcast got it worse, a lightgun was never released in the US, and the japanese lightgun didnt work for it.
Nope, You can only use Continues like the arcade games but they are limited to a few times. If you get a Game over, you have to start the whole game all over again.
The best way to beat the Hypnos Tyrant's final form: walk backwards. No joke. It's quick and you dodge ALL of his attacks. My friends and I accidentally discovered it when we played through the game together XD Merry Christmas, everyone!
Tfw molded wearing different colored pants and shirts would make it better Tfw jokes.com Tfw 3 people gave thumbs up to this outburst of bullshittery Tfw Smh
True story, I have the manual for this game sitting on my shelf, but I've never played this game and cannot for the life of me rememebr how I came to acquire that manual...?
I don't know about the European version of the game but if you play the American version none of the enemies can hurt you if you don't look at them. You can literally play through the entire game by just looking at the wall and not engaging with any enemies.
When I was a kid I thought survivor was resident evil 1 since it didn't have a number. It was also the only resident evil game I ever beat I got stuck on puzzles on 2 and 3. I'm a resident evil pleb
2017: "Resident Evil can't afford not to number its main entries"
2021: "IT'S VILLAGE. VILLLLLAGE."
That SH2 connection really blew my mind for a second. What the hell!
This game is older than Silent Hill 2. If anything, Konami dipped into CAPCOM territory with Heaven’s Night and James Sunderland.
@@XJ0461C clearly team silent was inspired by resi evil survivor
"I'm not shocked the Daily Mail still wants video games to be considered a top-shelf product, when they enjoy reaching so much."
Charlie, you fuckin' genius!
George, the famous game director of the PS1 era
George? You mean like the guy from SuperBunnyHop? He is responsible for this game?
Of course! This was before Ramen addled his brain
Time to unsubscribe from SuperBunnyHop
TWC can't believe he was behind all of this
Why would he make a game with light guns? Guess he didn't learn about the grey area involved in school shootings until later.
Super Bunny Hope: "it was me, GamingBritShow...it was me, all along!"
Happy Holidays Charlie ^^
"Better than Overblood." Whaaaaaat? Overblood is a masterpiece!
R.I.P Pipo.
“PIPPPPPPOOOOOO!!!!!”
I actually love this game, got every ending, every handgun - replaying the game was really fun!
I blame George [surname not given], for this game and gun violence in America.
A very spoopy lovecraftian christmas to you, gaming brit.
Merry Christmas hope Santa gives you DMC 5 next year.
well well well
It´s coming in spring 2019 though.
Thank you Santa!
it's time to officially announce that easter bunny is waaay cooler
2:30
Your animation skills amaze me to no end
5:33 that was EPIC
Can't wait for that hinted full Silent Hill anthology game design analysis.
I swear that i wouldn't have asked for a better gift then this review, thanks charile
Now that's one Resident Evil that ain't getting Remade 🙂🙂🙂
8:45 *[INTERNAL SCREAMING INTENSIFIES]*
I've got it! Road to the Rocket Launcher: Onimusha 2, for release in April.
that multiple forms man looks like pepsiman
Unironically, this is my favorite RE for the PS1. I loved being able to just sit and beat in a little over 30 minutes. Now I play it often on my PSP
Yes the "Whoops we forgot the manual reload button" was the most annoying shit about this game... i wished they would clarify why they fucked that up.
Also lmao that rant at the end. I'm so very not sorry because it meant I got another laugh from this video.
I remember when this came out. I had no idea what to expect but I honestly enjoyed it. Looking forward to more RE videos.
Hahahahhaha Lovecraftian ending
Awesome, more Resident Evil videos! Keep it up man, your a great UA-camr to watch, also excellent voice to hear.
Happy Holidays everyone!
A new TGBS video is exactly what I needed for Christmas
I still remember when my older brother played this. He killed all the zombies in a room before leaving it. When he came back into the room, the zombies are there, leaving him to kill them again.
Fun fact: this game was release on PC too.....only in Asia.
4:01 The unintentional hilarity of a psychopath who cut kids brains out being told off by his mother.
hey dont talk bad about my RE Survivor Doujins ! T_T
I can't watch a RE Survivor video without remembering that AVGN episode 😂 such a classic
3:02 - So basically its Doom...but far less fun and far less fondly remembered. Got it. lol
This video is soo.. GamingBritcraftian.
Need a last second christmas gift? Come and buy a lovecraftian pixelizer!
05:42 You're back in full force. My hangover is gone.
Considering Resident evil gaiden is pretty expensive, even if it is just the cart. I'd actually be pretty happy
The Georgepart cracked me up.

This is actually a great christmas gift, thank you GBS
The only thing trying to survive this game is your sanity.

The last plot twist is that George was the mastermind behind all of this. Don't fuck with George all right

Merry Christmas to me! Thanks for the great videos as always!!!
The reason why there were so many mrxs on Sheena Island is because that's the place where they got mass produced.
That Silent Hill 2 moment was gorgeous haha
This was the first RE that i played on the PSX once i got it.
I still fucking love this game to this day.
This shit was awesome back in the day
Every resident evil inns out with a bang
On pace to see this series end just in time Jojo Part 8 comes out
IS THAT A FUCKING JOJO REFERENCE!?
விஷ்ணு கார்த்திக் Fuck off.
sergiocast345 That's what I say to Jo Jo references.. like fuck that gay ass shit show.
விஷ்ணு கார்த்திக்
You must really live a sad life when you hate a show because it's "gay".
For all that I know you must be legs deep in homophobia.
sergiocast345 Fuck off :)

Ah, I remember how Columbine affected video games. _Project Justice_ the sequel to _Rival Schools_ (an amazing 2D fighter set in high school) got such a limited release that I consider myself lucky that I was able to pick up a copy.

i may be late to watch this video but im glad that i came across it, great review and analysis 😊
A Resident Evil video on Christmas! ^__^ lol Thanks, Brit! and Merry Christmas!
RE Survivor was the first RE game i played... And i loved it... At the time. xD
Merry Christmas Brit!
Super sorry, but I had to cancel my Patreon pledge. I'm having to save every penny at the mo but will definitely support you again in the future!
Good luck you bloody hero!
No worries buddy!
I didn't mind this game, honestly >~> I think the fact that it holds a heavy nostalgia for me makes it feel a lot better than it actually is
Merry Christmas. Thank you for this!
That's the series I've been waiting for. While watching it, I couldn't stop thinking about what you would say about dead aim. And holy fuck, I had no idea it was originally called survivor 4, now that explains things.
Ryudjn An employee at Game Stop told me Dead Aim was the best game in the series and that I should buy it over RE4.
From that day I knew Game Stop was just no good.
I liked all the different handguns you can find.
Well, this video made my day. Cheers British dude with a Sword
Merry Christmas! Great review for a game I used to love as a child (for some unknown reason). I don´t know what it is with Resident Evil and Light Gun Shooters! On paper it sounds awesome, but damn...Survivor 1 & 2 with it´s clunky controls, Dead Aim and the Chronicles Games with their weird camera motions...it can´t be that hard to make a Light Gun Shooter!
"Leave her alone"

You forgot to mention that some of the enemies can't seem to attack you if you don't look at them.

Dead Aim was actually pretty darn good. At least, when played with a lightgun.
merry late Christmas! im a new subscriber, i liked survivor, it was my first intro to the r.e games, and the final boss was awesome
ok, now I want to play lightgun RE on my Wii.
P.S. BTW, long time wanted to get Gun Survivor, good to know US version isn't compatible with the light gun.
you ripped into this game in chirstmas
You forgot something, you cant save in this game, you have to beat it in one sitting.

you ripped into this game on Christmas
Gun Survivor 4 aka Resident Evil Dead Aim I think is the best Gun Survivor game
Oh Onimusha - why were you never built upon properly?!?!?
Merry xmas bro. Dmc 5 gonna happen . Keep on believing.
And it was glorious.
Wow...finally I have seen someone who doesn't pronounce Pokemon like "Poka-Mon"
Merry Christmas, Charlie!
Tfw RE Survivor has more enemy variety than 7.
Tfw molded wearing different colored pants and shirts would make it better
Tfw jokes.com
Tfw 3 people gave thumbs up to this outburst of bullshittery
Tfw Smh
I fucking love Resident evil 7. I love that the game is a return to its roots.
b-but muh enemy variety
I wonder if you can save on that game, I was never able to do it
In next year, it's up to you to take on Resident Evil 3
Insert Guitar Rifff here
Hope you got to have a Happy Holiday after playing through this shit, Charlie! Thanks for more Resi goodness.
You're my Secret Santa.
Your voice reminds me of ParagonDS's. And that's a good thing.
2:31
Was that a jab at Ratchet 2016?
True story, I have the manual for this game sitting on my shelf, but I've never played this game and cannot for the life of me rememebr how I came to acquire that manual...?
There were always multiple T103, though.
I don't know about the European version of the game but if you play the American version none of the enemies can hurt you if you don't look at them. You can literally play through the entire game by just looking at the wall and not engaging with any enemies.
3:18 Bazinga.
*Audience laugh*
No but merry crimbus mang.
Thanks for the Christmas present.
Funny enough, I found this game in a dumpster when I was like 8. Never played it but I still got it somewhere
Merry Christmas dude!
Happy Holidays, matey!
we're sorry that you had to play this to make the video :') , can't wait for your 3rd part of the "road to the rocket launcher"
happy holidays dude.
When I was a kid I thought survivor was resident evil 1 since it didn't have a number. It was also the only resident evil game I ever beat I got stuck on puzzles on 2 and 3. I'm a resident evil pleb
Merry Christmas Charlie
I'll admit it straight up...
I like Survivor.
