Brad talking as a zombie fits the lore since he is freshly turned. In resident evil 1 you can find some notes of a person turning and was crudely writing even after turning
Frankly, Chief Irons scared me *more* than William Birkin did in “RE2 Remake” considering how horrifyingly *real* monsters like child-predators are in *our* world.
@@muzzle_4717I don’t recall any notes saying he killed any children- however he becomes a child predator in his attempts to hurt Sherry. But I agree with you- Birkin is also a child predator because of what he does in the game. I don’t remember him sexually abusing children or killing them. I can still see why you would find Irons scarier then G though
I definitely would've included Ashley in my own favorite changes. They did a phenomenal job fleshing out her personality and really bringing her character to life. Her rapport with Leon is like the heart of RE4 remake. Amazing work by the voice actress.
The improvements in continuity between 2 and 4. 4 really feels like a proper sequel to 2. He has a character of getting over his trauma and also other details like the use of Marvin’s knife that gets brought up. His opening monologue is actually personal. In the of four it was kinda just a recap of the of trilogy but now it’s more so a check in with his emotional state since time has passed.
Jill has always been my favorite character but specifically due to a lot of the files and such that exist in the games. Getting Jill's diary in OG RE3 let you see so much further into her character and how much damage had been done to her during RE1 despite being a weapons expert in Special Forces.
The remake is just a completely different character, I can’t get behind New Jill. They even add a layer to her character by giving her PTSD from the mansion incident but this is soooo wasted. Not only is her only fear just basic zombism, no nightmares of the mansion or any other creatures in it, but it’s dropped and never even hinted at through the rest of the game. She’s an action hero again with no signs of fear for 6 hours straight. To the point where when she IS infected, she has NO reaction to this at all.
Brad saying So-rry to Marvin was an outstanding moment. I got is as if Brad was not turned into a zombie completely and was fighting it. This is what Marvin saw and what stunned him allowing Brad to bit him. For me, this moment was great!
About the Zombie Brad speaking thing, remember in the first game there are several notes and memos written by people as they are turning. I think we got to see the exact moment when Brad turned and he wasn't mimicking Marvin but telling him sorry he couldn't control himself anymore
@@DarkAttackYT PREPARED TO BE ATTACKED BY OG RE4 FANBOYS (i'm not flaming you I'm just throwing a lil bit shade at the original RE4 self-opinionated fanatics who sanctify the OG too much and always think of their taste as being superior to those who enjoy the remake)
@@fsd872yeah, the re4 og fanboys are up their own asses when it comes to the og. While I do wish the kept a couple of Leon’s one liners in the remake, they definitely vastly improved his character as a whole. (And his figure too😏)
Agreed regarding Jill. That new characterization makes the game fun to replay, despite the removed content. I wish Jill had gotten her time in the RPD, though.
The much needed added context of Krauser and Leon’s relationship is also pretty great too as it makes their final showdown feel like it means something. In the OG, it felt like it was supposed to be a plot twist when they never added any sort of hint at it. The remake does this relationship justice and actually makes Krauser feel more human.
I gota disagree on the Jill "improvements" she is more of a badass in 3make, but i think that's missing the point with Jill. She was set up to be the smart resourceful one, and that you don't need to be a mega badass to get the job done. In a franchise where pretty much everyone is physically a badass by punching boulders and round housing infected cult leaders, its refreshing for someone who cant rely on their prowess and have to think outside the box. Also calling Nemesis "fuck face" and "bitch" just to add to the persona of Jill being more badass is just cringe, and it shows the lack of respect and reverence for one of the best monsters of the franchise.
@holder_mr7843 Yes, Jill seems to have been written in originals as this woman who has vast combat experience and is the more resourceful one/who keeps people on track, such as outside of mission where people like Chris Redfeild tend to goof off or not take things seriously but be serious on missions, she still has fun but has a professionalism aura to her. She is not rigged military though. She does have her hobbies and passions but she is not getting in trouble with the chief like Chris, Joseph, or Forest do. She knows that stopping and reacting to something in combat situations can cost time energy or your life so that's why there are not a lot of one-liners or quips from her. However she is still human and some situations can get the best of her, or when something doesn't stay dead. The schooled expression and the cold fury she has when she chooses to let you know she is truly angry Ex: "Wesker you're pathetic." Is also a nice contrast to say the less experienced Claire Redfield or Rebbcea chambers during their early days in the series. Remke Jill seems to unfortunately fall into the modern-day troupe of to be a badass, you have to constantly cuss especially at your enemies, and be anti-corporate or something else and announce it aloud to the people who represent that very clearly so that it can't be missed i.e "Well you can thank your corporate overlords for that." line, which is ironic because Jill is a former army and still a cop. I think it also doesn't help from what I heard Jill's new voice actress improvised some of her new lines which kind of pulls Jill into a more 2020 dialogue range rather than what her character would say in 1998. Also, I feel like if take Jill's new personality and dialogue and compare it to other modern female action leads or those who are considered badass you're gonna see a lot of overlap and lack of uniqueness with Jill's character. Also with the dog scene from the remake, she just unloaded an entire magazine into those dogs trying to save Joseph and they didn't flinch at all I can't blame her brain for being like I need a moment logic isn't logicing.
I agree. I also think her trying to initially save Dario & optionally going back for him is pretty badass. She took out the grave digger and survived multiple attacks from Nemesis without any help. If memory serves, all of the times Carlos actually helps her in the OG are optional depending on your choices. Plus, her final line to Nemesis in the OG is way better than what she says in the remake, it's not even close. Carlos is better in the OG too. His accent was awesome, his part in the hospital was way more enjoyable IMO, and if you choose to have him help you against Nemesis outside the clock tower, his barreling into Nemesis and his attack cry was awesome. The way he blew up the rocket launcher after Nemesis took a shot at him was one of my favorite parts of the game, and I played that a bunch back on the PS1. Maybe it's being picky, but I also can't stand his hairdo in the remake. The dude looks like he's never had a haircut in his life and it's just ridiculous. I honestly don't think anything about the remake was better than the OG, and I am quite certain I'm not the only one who feels that way. I love the OG RE4, but I can admit that some things in the remake, such as the ability to be stealthy, are an improvement and add something different to the game. The RE3 remake was a total disservice to the OG and is the worst RE remake of all, and it's not even close. They shouldn't have done it, I feel it is totally inferior in every single way to the OG...
Jill’s dealing with the aftermath of what happened to her in the mansion, and now she’s fighting to escape Raccoon City. She’s getting out of town or dying trying. She’s done with the city, she’s done with Umbrella, she’s done with everything and out of fucks to give by this point. So having her as a changed woman between the first and third game makes sense. She’s broken and now it’s a case of wanting it all to just go away.
I mean, we got Nemesis from the get and having to escape the apartment building while it just destroyed any wall or floor in its way. But I liked the 3 remake. My only gripes were no diner fight, no clock tower fight, and Nemesis should have been more relentless in the first act until the rooftop fight where it finally took significant damage and was forced to regroup. I was fine without running into the latest unintended side effect of the T virus finding its way into some random insect and making them some giant monstrosity and definitely fine without the constant backtracking the original had. The remake just needed a bit more Nemesis presence to make up for the difference, although I still don't know why they'd not include the diner fight. It was already a nerve wracking fight of claustrophobia in the original. Remake could have made it so much better.
@@thelaztguy6575both are equally good him coming straight for Jill showed he means business and brad didn't look like a coward it actually goes with him coming back to help in the first game realizing he shouldn't be a coward
Number 4 Your opinion is wrong. The remake turns Jill into a flat, jeans-wearing, stereotype. They removed any trace of Jill's caring personality and simultaneous "break bones if you make her mad" attitude. What do you mean she didn't have any interesting comments? Are you just stating that because she talks more in the remake? This isn't a badass character this is a caricature. I bet you found 2014 Tomb Raider endearing as well.
Yeah they completely ruined Jill in the remake,she was strong and smart enough in the OG timeline to survive,be a lockpick expert,talented enough to play the piano like a professional. People act this new "Jill" is better because she's foul mouthed and wears grimy jeans and tank top.
People complaining about Brad saying "sorry" forget the slow deteriorating we see in the keeper's diary in OG with the final parts of his deteriorating brain managing the infamous "4 itchy tasty" which is most likely at the same infection stage as Brad.
One of my favorite things about the remakes is improving certain bossfights. Not just the designs but also giving them extra moves and changing the place you fight them in.
I disagree with irons, in the original he was more of a psychopath, he hunted survivors in the police station the remake version maked him seem like a creep
I'd say Tyrell instead of Carlos. As for Chief Irons, the thing is that in the original game you think you find an ally at first, and then you realise with the docs and with his final encounter that he is trash. A mix of both OG and remake could make him an even better character.
I LOVE the new version of Luis, so it breaks my heart even more to know that such a great character will never have another chance in Resident Evil. As for Mr. X and stalker enemies in general, it's been really effective for me so far. Mr. X was the first one I had to deal with in the RE2 remake, because I never played the old games before and almost the entire first playthrough was a mix of sneaking around and intently listening to these damn footsteps. The same thing happened with Jack and he was also really scary. Lady D however could've been as glorious, but for some reason I never really met her all that often, like maybe twice o my first playthrough a few days ago which was kind of a letdown. Overall Village is still a good game and I still have lots of fun with it while I get the platinum, but it definitely peaked with the castle for me and after that it was a bit too much action.
RE3R ruined the dynamic between Jill and Nemesis. In the original he was a terminator style enemy that was on a mission and would not stop until that mission was completed, the mission being to kill all STARS members. In the remake the way Jill interacted with him reduced him to being a creepy stalker enemy, and that last voice line at the end with the railgun really points to that. They did not change their dynamic for the better, but rather for the worse.
@@NerdSpaceGamesI feel like the fact that you can shoot off their limbs, split them in half, and that if you land a crit headshot their heads explode would be more than enough to qualify as an improvement to the zombies themselves rather than just a graphical improvement
The changes they did to Ashley I felt were one of the better improvements to RE4's Remake myself. She feels like the appropriate age they were shooting for ( around 20's ) where in the original she felt like a 14-16 year old. I also felt that her character development was hugely improved as well. When you first interact with her she is tariffed, like a scared child. But as the game progresses she does grow much more confident. The little banter tossed between her and Leon as they travel also adds to her and Leons character rather well. Shows that Leon is really good at keeping his cool when he needs to and can even help lighten the mod when they do catch a break as they progress.
The sympathy garnered for Marvin was truly a heart wrencher. He definitely deserved better than his fate in my first playthrough. Just got back from the sewers, half expecting him to be a zombie, then I see him. I'm on the stairs, he's coming up to me and with my last shotgun shell, I figured I'd give him a quick send off, rather than a slow one with the knife since I had no pistol ammo. So, I aim and... He moves at the last second. I tore half of his face off along with his arm and had no real ability to finish him off. I wouldn't get the opportunity to finish him for quite some time due to Mr. X hunting me down, and when I did, he still grabbed me and I had to stab him anyway. I felt absolutely horrible.
I agree with all of these except for Brad Vickers. I would also add Leon and Ashley's new personalities in RE4 remake as well as the Krauser knife fight in chapter 11.
Finally, someone who loves RE3 Remake Jill. This is coming from someone who's first RE game was the OG RE3, and who also fell in love with OG Jill. But I just love RE3 Remake Jill more.
Usually, I have no interest in shooting and horror games. So the real success of the Remakes, to me, is introducing the lore to a complete newbie, making me care about the characters and engaged with the story, and making me want to keep playing the game again and again to get that coveted S+ rank, complete all challenges, and complete everything to 100% 😊😊
Honestly, I know I'm going to get flack for this, but I loved how they redeemed Brad in RE3R. Considering how much of a coward he is, Chickenheart Vickers sticking around the city as it fell apart, risking his life to warn Jill, than literally sacrificing himself to save her, I gotta give props to the dev team for making hum much better.
Brad Vickers being the one to have bit Marvin would have worked onky IF somehow Nemesis infected him. We should have seen Nemesis kill Vickers as to see it do its job by at least killing kne STARS member and to introduce it's hostility.
@NerdSpaceGames Another change I liked with Brad is that he dies heroically in RE 3. But I feel you could have him die to Nemesis and still give him a heroic death. He starts off as a chickenheart but later gives his life to protect his teammate and friend and make up for his mistake.
Yeah, even though Brad was cowardly, inwardly he was braver than he thought and he would definitely fight to help his friends. Damn, he came back at the end of RE1. Also, considering he was a S.T.A.R.S member, he must have had some clout. @winters_revolt
Jill made no sense in the remake 😂 also dont get why they use the remake gimmick from jill in death island, while everyone else were the og characters 😂
Marvin was already an awesome character in the OG and in Outbreak. A total boss who tried to help as many survivors as he could, rally a defence and be an inspiration. In the Remake I damn near cried learning about his fate. Again, if OG wasn't bad enough. Marvin was the best guy and cop ever and he deserved better. Rest in power, Marvin.
Yelling and cussing constantly isn’t always a sign of being a “badass”. So Jill just seems like a different character to me. I like both versions but OG Jill seemed to care about other people more than the remake. Although I would be defensive too if I had gone through the Spencer mansion.
I'd say Annette from Claire's side in the remake. We get to see a slightly more human side to her when it came to Sherry compared to the original, she was very aloof and distant. But in the remake, we got to see her hesitate to help Claire save Sherry in the sewers then finally go be a mother and save her daughter, even waiting by her side to make sure she was clean.
Chief Irons was actually worse and more creepy in the original. You actually confront him in his torture room in the sewers during your final encounter where he has taken and killed multiple women, he is a full-on serial killer with a taxidermy obsession. He was more subtle and creepy when you first meet him in the original before his true colors are revealed unlike in the remake which goes 0-100 in his first scene. Also, I don't think he is a pedophile he is just a murdery taxidermist whose victims are the mayor's daughter's age and appearance. Quote from a file "8 people have gone missing. Strangely, the missing people have a lot in common: They are all single white females aged 18 to 23 with beautiful blonde hair." from Resident Evil Outbreak Racoon today file. He also during og resident evil 2 hunted down his fellow officers in the station such as shooting one through their back into their heart and watching them bleed out, from the chief's diary re2 1998. Irons in 2 remake is evil, but it's a more obvious and in-your-face evil while the original is slowly realizing oh god I'm dealing with a psychotic monster.
I do like Carlos from RE3R, which is why I hope as more RE games get more remakes, I hope they give Carlos more screen time in the future, I liked him in the OG RE3 game, but he was a lot more likable in the Remake, I also liked the tie in with Marvin being bitten by Brad, instead of it being some civilian, and Brad's last little gasps of humanity was a bit heartbreaking when he said "Sor-ry" to Marvin. Like the last bit of humanity left in Brad knew what was going to happen, and it almost seem poetic in a way, cause you get a sense from Brad that he still feels bad about bailing on the other STARS members during the events of RE1. But other than those two things, Carlos, and the Marvin and Zombie Brad altercation, I can't stand RE3R.
Re2 birkins designs really give you that sense of wtf and absolute horror and his story being fleshed out along with anette and sherrys as well as their relationships just makes what happpened to the birkins all that more tragic.
I don't know. Brad saying "Sorry", to me, felt like his last sliver of humanity trying to fight the infection while still it waa completely taking him over. Making Marvin's message to Claire and Leon more understandable.
The crimsonhead detail is interesting to me from a lore perspective, because like... the early games having 'zombies' and them being bullet sponge enemies are memeworthy things, well-known historical parts of Resident Evil/Biohazard games... but crimsonheads remind you that these ARE NOT zombies--that's just a name for them. These are genetically altered mutant supersoldier creatures, inhuman abominations made by using humans infected by a lab-grown virus as an incubator and cocoon both that slowly transforms their corpse into a shambling, but eventually deadly, creature. These things can become lickers, and THAT'S a whole new nightmare. But the retroactive addition of crimsonheads to RE1R was a solid improvement, both in terms of the lore of Umbrella's nightmare factory and in regards to not just the survival-horror action gameplay of the first title, but the strategic conservation and planning side of the game as well.
@@NerdSpaceGames , I also like the building chase as well. There was some great stuff in that remake. However, some of the issues the fans have brought up, I get.
Who did Chief Irons kill in the original Resident Evil 2? As far as I remember the only person he threatened was Claire only to end up dead. And if it was the mayor's daughter, she was already dead as far as I can tell. Unless you are referring to what is told about his past in the book by S.D. Perry. As far as what I think were the best changes the remakes did, here's my list: 10. Making the Yarn and Neptune enemy/boss scarier (RE1) 09. Addition of Lisa Trevor (RE1) 08. Expansion of Luis (RE4) 07. Making Ashley less annoying (RE4) 06. Less quick-times (RE4) 05. Making Krauser knife fight an actual fight rather than a quick-time event (RE4) 04. Giving characters the ability to use knives and other stuff as defense against bites (RE2) 03. Over the shoulder camera (RE2) 02. Mr X scarier pursuer (RE2) 01. Better inventory system (RE2)
There was some journals or something in the OG, if not the novels, that mentioned Irons ahem, abused a woman, got off because of Unbrella, and was on their payroll. He definitely had a thing for hunting and killing things and it was mentioned during the outbreak he was actively hunting officers and civilians seeking refuge. So he was already horrible in the OG, I guess in the REmake it was more pronounced with his creepiness.
I agreed with everything... except... Hell naw, I disagree about Jill, completely. She's my favorite alongisde Leon, and I think there's a misinterpretation about her calmness, in RE1R she takes Barry's magnum and confronts him, she is definetly not a pushover, she insults Wesker and stands her ground, in the beginning of RE1R she is actually so shocked about what she's seeing she is pulling the trigger on her empty handgun, she has a lot of empathy. Also she curses at her radio for not working lol. Barry helps her a lot but it makes sense because this is her first time facing the horrors of BOWs. In original RE3 Jill is angry and does confront Carlos about being with Umbrella, but decides to trust him anyways because of her good heart. She even slaps him to get him out of a panic, and tells him panicking won't be of any help. She is far more serious in this game and doesn't seem to be affected by fear anymore, she takes smart decisions and knows when to retreat but has no fear to stand her ground. In Revelations she makes some jokes to Parker, even shows to be sad about his apparent death. Makes some jokes about the chopper guy when he gives her a rocketlauncher "You know how to treat a girl!" This shows she's got a sense of humour and can be quite playful if she's comfortable. In RE5 she jokes around with Chris but it was cut (Tells him "he likes them young" lol), makes jokes with Josh when he calls her pretty (she tells him something like "Bet you say that to all girls"). Jill is just calm/quieter in her original timeline, but she does have a personality, I just think due to her being a quieter person she can go unnoticed a little bit. I also think whenever she is in Chris' presence her personality becomes duller. In 3 remake she just swears a lot more, is a lot louder... and I honestly hate that. Gladly she didn't lose her empathy and we can see it with Carlos and with this guy that Nicholai shoots. I still prefer OG Jill.
I would have changed Jill with Ashley. I didn't dislike Jill in the remake but she is definitely not better compared to her original version. Nemesis literally had her in his grasp more often than once. The only reason why she survived isn't because how awesome she is but because of how bad Namesis is in the remake. Jill is more of a Mary Sue than a badass.
Irons donating children to Umbrella scares me because now I’m always thinking of Nemesis and Mr X either were children after years of experimenting on them or the children’s remains is what created the foundation for them
Crimson Heads being added to the Remake retroactively makes RE2's Lickers seem less out of left field when it was finally revealed that they were "evolved zombies" as we get to see the start of transformation process with the elongated claw like finger bones and increased speed and aggression after falling dormant for only a very short time. Its highly likely with all the missing person reports mention in the intro of RE1 there would be zombies wandering the mountains after the mansion incident slowly changing in the month or so between then and the city outbreak.
Brad speaking as a HALF turned zombie makes extreme sense. Remember "itchy itchy" ? If you're able to type it you're able to say it. And he only echoes one phrase. Making it sad.
I like to think that on some level, William Birkin retained some memories like Sherry which is why he didn't really go after her. it was only later that he was too far gone that he lost what made him human. it would explain why he went after Chief Irons since he saw that Sherry was in danger
I can list a couple badass things Jill did in OG 1 and 3, such as saving Chris from imprisonment, defeating a giant snake, a Tyrant (RE1) and taking down Nemesis, taking down a chopper, escaping a missile just in time, helping out UBCS, instead of the other way around (RE3).
A few of my favorite changes from each remake: RE1. 1. The Lisa Trevor story was a excellent if not tragic addition to the RE series and went a long way towards helping the remake stand on its own. 2. The crimson heads were by far the best addition to the game and ultimately changes how you play once you know they're there. It is one of the reasons I consider the remake to be superior to the original. RE2. 1. Leons character is so much better than in the original. Leon not only had TERRIBLE writing and dialogue along with everyone else he also was so insanely naive that it reached a level of absurdity by the end, the remake went a long way towards having Leon still be a rookie but not so naive that he feels down right stupid at times especially with regards to Ada. 2. Mr X. The fact that Mr. X now chases and follows you everywhere truly makes him the most terrifying thing in the game by far. Just hearing those footsteps even when he's nowhere near you is enough to make me consider turning and running. RE3. 1. Carlos. Carlos was a nothing character who may as well have not been in the original game at all but the remake completely fixes this. Remake Carlos is a cool dude who genuinely just wants to help but doesn't realize how much he's being used and manipulated. Considering a lot of this game happens alongside RE2 I think it's appropriate that his arc in this game is very similar to Leons in that game. 2. Nikolai. In the original Nikolai kinda just seemed like a generic villain all things considered, and I'm not saying he's not generic in the remake but he FEELS more unique and charismatic to me. This may be more to do with the actors performance than anything else but either way Nikolai is a much better character here. RE4. Ashley. Pretty much everyone agrees that Ashley was not a good character in the original game, in fact I didn't even know that she was supposed to be a 20 year old college student until about a month or so before the remake came out because she always acted like a spoiled 16 year old in the original. Ashley still has moments like that in the remake but they're more subtle and MUCH more realistic than before. Simply put, I was glad we never saw original Ashley again but I'll be sad if remake Ashley never comes back. 2. The controls. I never actually beat the original RE4 before, I've watched it be played several times but I've never been able to beat it myself because I can't stand the controls. Modern controls was one of the main reasons I enjoyed the remake so much, a game I've wanted to play for years was finally playable for me and I had a blast playing it.
I was hoping Brad would come back as a parastitic zombie mutation that stalked you and alerted Nemmy to your location with some creepy shriek or something, seeing that Nemmy could change zombies into parasite carriers got me like 'holy...is it gonna happen?!' but no dice 😂
Resident evil 3 remake was so absolutely unequivocal disgustingly horrible that I’m currently working on launching a UA-cam channel to destroy capcom for stealing my money! Every time I think about just how much of a piece of teaming turd that game was, it makes me want to punch a baby! I’m trying to find words in my dictionary to express how livid I am that that’s the game we got!
Not sure I agree with n°9 and 6. Brad Vickers had a much better death in the original RE3 and introduced THE Nemesis in the best way possible, talking about a mysterious threat hunting down STARS members and a little while after that scene he's running terrified towards Jill trying to warn her about the mysterious monster and was suddenly killed by it in front of Jill. As for the Mr.X Tyrant, can we really call it an improvement when the Claire/Leon campaigns (both scenario types) are the same with insignificant differences for the B scenario? No matter the "scenario", the encounters & deaths of Mr.X Tyrants are the same. While I'm here, why giving the creatures a fedora? It doesn't make any sense, at least its clothing actually had a purpose as a "power limiter" of sorts.
Even if they wanted him in both paythroughs they introduced him far to early he should have been introduced no earlier than the midpoint of the first playthrough (preferably closer to the end of the first playthrough) and they use him way too much for the fear factor. By the time you get to the end of the first playthrough he isn't scary he is annoying as hell.
You ever blow the head off a crimson head and have it keep coming? This happened to me a couple of weeks ago on a hard playthrough as Chris in the hallway outside the door to the trap hall with the armor key.
I’ll chime in to say this. I agree with you about Jill being way more bad ass. Although, just like you, I wish the RE:3 remake would have given us more meat on the bone… Jill was fantastically captured. She is an authentic realistic portrayal of what the character would have actually been at the time of the outbreak.
This! I hate that people complain about her swearing so much, she’s an adolescent cop in the middle of her SECOND outbreak, of course she’s gonna have a mouth on her lol.
Mine would probably be: 10. Expanded areas (RE1R) 9. Atmosphere (RE4R) 8. Jill (RE3R) 7. The orphanage (RE2R) 6. Carlos (RE3R) 5. Mr. X (RE2R) 4. Ashley (RE4R) 3. Over the shoulder (RE2R) 2. Lisa Trevor (RE1R) 1. Crimson Heads (RE1R)
If this was uploaded back in November, I think two more entries from RE4 Remake. One of them being Ada is more morally conscious and the other would be making the Red Cloaked Verdugo more important.
This video was made before Separate Ways so the red cloaked Verdugo didn’t get any attention yet. As for ada, I think that’s debatable depending on the person. Personally, I prefer the original Ada but I totally respect the people that prefer the more considerate ada in the remake.
Cussing doesn't automatically make you a badass. Jill had way more personality in the original than the remake and she doesn't need to cuss to show that. In the original she was courageous but also showed how caring she was. Didn't she slap carlos to his senses?
Im going to watch every resident evil game on UA-cam. I’ve only watched my bf play through 7 and 8 which were both amazing. I don’t think I could ever handle playing those two games seems like the scariest two out of all lol.
1 and 4 were the most faithful to the original that brought positive changes and improvements to the story, 2 was good but the changes were exaggerated, they removed basic enemies and created more script holes since the campaigns are almost the same, and 3 is the worst, they removed too much and added an unnecessary copy of the sewers and lab from RE2, very rushed remake
I don't agree with Brad as something positive, on the contrary, they erased a very epic scene from the original with Nemesis finishing with the only member of Stars with which he achieved his goal, and also the Marvin thing had already been explained in Outbreak file 2, that although it is not canon, it made more sense.
I think the best thing about remakes is that they now can run on PC without making it unfun for the PC user. And tank controls. God... And Ashley. She is finally likeable. Never played OG RE2 or 3 to compare much so Agreed here
Surprised you didn't say Ashley in the re4 remake. She's gone from an extremely annoying bratty character in the original to more of an actual person in the remake that I cared about saving.
The one thing that defines the remakes to me is the defense items, the ability to dodge damage that would be guaranteed in the originals is great, but of course RE3R removed it for no reason other than the dodge mechanic
Fair but remake changed that. Plus outbreak has not been confirmed or deconfirmed as canon. Even though there is an Easter egg in re7 it’s still not officially canon
What I liked about RE4 Remake is the castle part, my first play through made me feel like I was playing the Beta version of the game with that ghost or hallucination
I feel like for number 9, we see Marvin holding his stomach after getting bit in Resident Evil Outbreak File 2 Desperate Times and that was the reason for his injury. I personally don't like the change that Brad bit him.
Based on the first 3 releases alone, long live the 90s 😅, this will always be my #1 top game franchise. I immediately fell in love with that first zombie over the shoulder stare in re1 1996, and I've never looked back. Also, tofu, man. Tofu. Such a serious game with such a goofy character, it was perfection, and then....NEMESIS. RE is the best long running game series ever
I like the personality and delivery of lines of luis better in the original but i still like the remake luis also. I kinda wish they had a more merged version of him combining the 2 luis’s
Disagree with Brad. His death at the hands of Nemesis upset the tension of the monster (in addition to some mentions of other offscreen STARS jobbers being killed off) and is still an emotional moment as Jill is forced to watch her friend die. Admittedly it would be much better if she ruminated on his death later, after the shock of it and the situation wear off. In the remake, Nemesis only kills the Umbrella mercs when he should be concerned with Jill at the front and nobody else. Brad’s moment could have been given to another character and is a little out of nowhere considering we haven’t seen anything like it in the series (talking about verbal discussion here, not notes we only read after the fact). Not to mention it should be Jill witnessing this and not Carlos. Jill is better in the original too.
She is though. The original she has the same vibe. She just didn’t curse as much. The dialogue was awful and the cutscenes were short but it was the same vibe. I just think her vibe changes a bit with Chris because she’s more relaxed and that’s the most recent Jill we’ve seen with the Lost in Nightmares DLC.
I think you don´t even pay attention to Luis Serra well writen name. In the original was written Sera because maybe that english speakers developments thought that how was written because in English double RR is not so common, but in remake also the developments wrote his name well with double RR as Serra because is a Spanish last name
I love 3Make solely because of the changes to Jill and Carlos. Jill was always a badass to me but this three dimensionalised her and added the PTSD element. Carlos they turned into a seasoned merc while still keeping him a goofball (The 'Cold Carlos-less world' and 'Open Sesame' lines as prime examples) but his heart is in the right place. Also the physical changes suit that character better. The acting is absolutely stellar and is the reason why if I just want the STORY of RE3 I'll play the remake over the original.
Crimson Heads are also zombies on their way to becoming lickers. If they ever do a RE1 remake to bring it in line with the over the shoulder camera (gotta admit, the mansion would look AMAZING), Crimson Heads and Lisa Trevor have to be included, as well as Jill's self reliance and her badassery, but definitely play up the shock to her mind for a good contrast to her in the 3 remake.
Yeah bruh you’re wrong with number 9 Brad was done much better in the original. His death being used to introduce Nemesis was a masterpiece of writing. Also jill is even less of a badass in the remake. Not once does she save herself or fight for herself. She’s always rescued by a third party. Re-writing a character to a stoic no nonsense persona is just an excuse to not write an in depth character
The change to Mr X was kind of weird for me, altho weird might not be the best word. The way the original game had him hidden behind a second play though made for better replay value bc of how it changed the experience from one run to the next….but he’s also an enemy that def deserves more screen time so the remake did well to give it to him.
Was going fine until the Jill remake change, Nah not for me boring pissed off badass girl trope seen so much in media lately obviously pushed by a particular group in capcom thinking its promoting women empowerment, totally unrecognisable from her original characteristics, she was strong without being 1 dimensional
Brad talking as a zombie fits the lore since he is freshly turned. In resident evil 1 you can find some notes of a person turning and was crudely writing even after turning
Valid point!
Keeper’s diary was an awesome read
Plus, it adds so much on emotional level. I wanted to cry in that moment.
Itchy....tasty.
Resident evil revelations to the first boss you go against has a dairy where he is slowly turning while writing in his diary
Frankly, Chief Irons scared me *more* than William Birkin did in “RE2 Remake” considering how horrifyingly *real* monsters like child-predators are in *our* world.
Irons isn't a child predator or did I miss something?
@@muzzle_4717I don’t recall any notes saying he killed any children- however he becomes a child predator in his attempts to hurt Sherry. But I agree with you- Birkin is also a child predator because of what he does in the game. I don’t remember him sexually abusing children or killing them. I can still see why you would find Irons scarier then G though
I definitely would've included Ashley in my own favorite changes. They did a phenomenal job fleshing out her personality and really bringing her character to life. Her rapport with Leon is like the heart of RE4 remake. Amazing work by the voice actress.
Yeah in hindsight I should have replaced Chief irons with her
Ashley look at me!
Toma toma
ashley in the original was annoying and stupid as a character and also a walking fanservice.She was a terrible character
@@TheKingOfAllHorrornope, y just suck as a character she is great now
@@NerdSpaceGames something else would need to go. Chief Irons is underrated and should be in top 3 changes for me.
Also Ashley in RE4R was a big improvement
No she wasn’t
Yes
Ashley was well improved upon. She seems like a young woman instead of a pair of anime panties. They really did her well
@@LukaPS5yes, she absolutely was \ is a 10,000% improvement. Sorry you can't see her underwear anymore but otherwise, she's so much better now
Yes, Ashley's REaR is hugely improved 😂
The improvements in continuity between 2 and 4. 4 really feels like a proper sequel to 2. He has a character of getting over his trauma and also other details like the use of Marvin’s knife that gets brought up. His opening monologue is actually personal. In the of four it was kinda just a recap of the of trilogy but now it’s more so a check in with his emotional state since time has passed.
Jill has always been my favorite character but specifically due to a lot of the files and such that exist in the games. Getting Jill's diary in OG RE3 let you see so much further into her character and how much damage had been done to her during RE1 despite being a weapons expert in Special Forces.
Not just spec ops but delta force
The elite of the elite
The remake is just a completely different character, I can’t get behind New Jill. They even add a layer to her character by giving her PTSD from the mansion incident but this is soooo wasted. Not only is her only fear just basic zombism, no nightmares of the mansion or any other creatures in it, but it’s dropped and never even hinted at through the rest of the game. She’s an action hero again with no signs of fear for 6 hours straight. To the point where when she IS infected, she has NO reaction to this at all.
Do you think they should release a directors cut of RE3R? Make the game longer, bring back stuff from the original?
I would love that but I doubt they will. It’s already been too long for us to get that now 😭
@@NerdSpaceGames would love to see u talk about if there is director's cut, what would u like to add or changes
Hmmm might be a good topic for the podcast tonight. You should stop by! We do a Q&A & if you ask this question we’ll cover it 😊
Brad saying So-rry to Marvin was an outstanding moment. I got is as if Brad was not turned into a zombie completely and was fighting it. This is what Marvin saw and what stunned him allowing Brad to bit him. For me, this moment was great!
Luis was such a welcomed change. I got so emotional when he died
Oh absolutely!
Oh well, you'll get him back for a bit as Ada is Separate Ways 😂
Re3 Jill: you want stars I’ll give you stars.
Re3 remake Jill: this time take the F n hint.
Yea no contest
The original 100%!!
“No contest”
About the Zombie Brad speaking thing, remember in the first game there are several notes and memos written by people as they are turning. I think we got to see the exact moment when Brad turned and he wasn't mimicking Marvin but telling him sorry he couldn't control himself anymore
1. Crimson Heads
2. Ashley Graham
3. Carlos Olivera
4. Leon S Kennedy
5. Lisa Trevor
These are the definitive improvements the Remakes have given us.
Fair points
are you talking RE2R or RE4R Leon?
@@thegreatpiginthesky3904 Both. But more specifically, RE4R Leon.
@@DarkAttackYT PREPARED TO BE ATTACKED BY OG RE4 FANBOYS
(i'm not flaming you I'm just throwing a lil bit shade at the original RE4 self-opinionated fanatics who sanctify the OG too much and always think of their taste as being superior to those who enjoy the remake)
@@fsd872yeah, the re4 og fanboys are up their own asses when it comes to the og. While I do wish the kept a couple of Leon’s one liners in the remake, they definitely vastly improved his character as a whole. (And his figure too😏)
Agreed regarding Jill. That new characterization makes the game fun to replay, despite the removed content. I wish Jill had gotten her time in the RPD, though.
Agreed! Seem like one of many missed opportunities
3 is the easiest to just throw in and play - I’ve beaten it 1000x , but just love racing through - shooting ip the place.
Exactly
The much needed added context of Krauser and Leon’s relationship is also pretty great too as it makes their final showdown feel like it means something. In the OG, it felt like it was supposed to be a plot twist when they never added any sort of hint at it. The remake does this relationship justice and actually makes Krauser feel more human.
I gota disagree on the Jill "improvements" she is more of a badass in 3make, but i think that's missing the point with Jill. She was set up to be the smart resourceful one, and that you don't need to be a mega badass to get the job done. In a franchise where pretty much everyone is physically a badass by punching boulders and round housing infected cult leaders, its refreshing for someone who cant rely on their prowess and have to think outside the box. Also calling Nemesis "fuck face" and "bitch" just to add to the persona of Jill being more badass is just cringe, and it shows the lack of respect and reverence for one of the best monsters of the franchise.
@holder_mr7843 Yes, Jill seems to have been written in originals as this woman who has vast combat experience and is the more resourceful one/who keeps people on track, such as outside of mission where people like Chris Redfeild tend to goof off or not take things seriously but be serious on missions, she still has fun but has a professionalism aura to her. She is not rigged military though. She does have her hobbies and passions but she is not getting in trouble with the chief like Chris, Joseph, or Forest do. She knows that stopping and reacting to something in combat situations can cost time energy or your life so that's why there are not a lot of one-liners or quips from her. However she is still human and some situations can get the best of her, or when something doesn't stay dead. The schooled expression and the cold fury she has when she chooses to let you know she is truly angry Ex: "Wesker you're pathetic." Is also a nice contrast to say the less experienced Claire Redfield or Rebbcea chambers during their early days in the series.
Remke Jill seems to unfortunately fall into the modern-day troupe of to be a badass, you have to constantly cuss especially at your enemies, and be anti-corporate or something else and announce it aloud to the people who represent that very clearly so that it can't be missed i.e "Well you can thank your corporate overlords for that." line, which is ironic because Jill is a former army and still a cop.
I think it also doesn't help from what I heard Jill's new voice actress improvised some of her new lines which kind of pulls Jill into a more 2020 dialogue range rather than what her character would say in 1998. Also, I feel like if take Jill's new personality and dialogue and compare it to other modern female action leads or those who are considered badass you're gonna see a lot of overlap and lack of uniqueness with Jill's character.
Also with the dog scene from the remake, she just unloaded an entire magazine into those dogs trying to save Joseph and they didn't flinch at all I can't blame her brain for being like I need a moment logic isn't logicing.
I agree. I also think her trying to initially save Dario & optionally going back for him is pretty badass. She took out the grave digger and survived multiple attacks from Nemesis without any help. If memory serves, all of the times Carlos actually helps her in the OG are optional depending on your choices. Plus, her final line to Nemesis in the OG is way better than what she says in the remake, it's not even close.
Carlos is better in the OG too. His accent was awesome, his part in the hospital was way more enjoyable IMO, and if you choose to have him help you against Nemesis outside the clock tower, his barreling into Nemesis and his attack cry was awesome. The way he blew up the rocket launcher after Nemesis took a shot at him was one of my favorite parts of the game, and I played that a bunch back on the PS1. Maybe it's being picky, but I also can't stand his hairdo in the remake. The dude looks like he's never had a haircut in his life and it's just ridiculous.
I honestly don't think anything about the remake was better than the OG, and I am quite certain I'm not the only one who feels that way. I love the OG RE4, but I can admit that some things in the remake, such as the ability to be stealthy, are an improvement and add something different to the game. The RE3 remake was a total disservice to the OG and is the worst RE remake of all, and it's not even close. They shouldn't have done it, I feel it is totally inferior in every single way to the OG...
Jill’s dealing with the aftermath of what happened to her in the mansion, and now she’s fighting to escape Raccoon City. She’s getting out of town or dying trying. She’s done with the city, she’s done with Umbrella, she’s done with everything and out of fucks to give by this point.
So having her as a changed woman between the first and third game makes sense. She’s broken and now it’s a case of wanting it all to just go away.
They shouldn't have changed Brad's death, it's Nemesis' iconic entrance and they threw it away on the remake
I agree with that part actually. I like what they did with him infecting Marvin but I didn’t like that they took his death away from Nemesis
I mean, we got Nemesis from the get and having to escape the apartment building while it just destroyed any wall or floor in its way. But I liked the 3 remake. My only gripes were no diner fight, no clock tower fight, and Nemesis should have been more relentless in the first act until the rooftop fight where it finally took significant damage and was forced to regroup. I was fine without running into the latest unintended side effect of the T virus finding its way into some random insect and making them some giant monstrosity and definitely fine without the constant backtracking the original had. The remake just needed a bit more Nemesis presence to make up for the difference, although I still don't know why they'd not include the diner fight. It was already a nerve wracking fight of claustrophobia in the original. Remake could have made it so much better.
@@thelaztguy6575both are equally good him coming straight for Jill showed he means business and brad didn't look like a coward it actually goes with him coming back to help in the first game realizing he shouldn't be a coward
Number 4
Your opinion is wrong. The remake turns Jill into a flat, jeans-wearing, stereotype. They removed any trace of Jill's caring personality and simultaneous "break bones if you make her mad" attitude. What do you mean she didn't have any interesting comments? Are you just stating that because she talks more in the remake? This isn't a badass character this is a caricature. I bet you found 2014 Tomb Raider endearing as well.
Yeah they completely ruined Jill in the remake,she was strong and smart enough in the OG timeline to survive,be a lockpick expert,talented enough to play the piano like a professional. People act this new "Jill" is better because she's foul mouthed and wears grimy jeans and tank top.
People complaining about Brad saying "sorry" forget the slow deteriorating we see in the keeper's diary in OG with the final parts of his deteriorating brain managing the infamous "4 itchy tasty" which is most likely at the same infection stage as Brad.
One of my favorite things about the remakes is improving certain bossfights. Not just the designs but also giving them extra moves and changing the place you fight them in.
Fair point!
I disagree with irons, in the original he was more of a psychopath, he hunted survivors in the police station the remake version maked him seem like a creep
I'd say Tyrell instead of Carlos.
As for Chief Irons, the thing is that in the original game you think you find an ally at first, and then you realise with the docs and with his final encounter that he is trash. A mix of both OG and remake could make him an even better character.
I LOVE the new version of Luis, so it breaks my heart even more to know that such a great character will never have another chance in Resident Evil.
As for Mr. X and stalker enemies in general, it's been really effective for me so far. Mr. X was the first one I had to deal with in the RE2 remake, because I never played the old games before and almost the entire first playthrough was a mix of sneaking around and intently listening to these damn footsteps.
The same thing happened with Jack and he was also really scary. Lady D however could've been as glorious, but for some reason I never really met her all that often, like maybe twice o my first playthrough a few days ago which was kind of a letdown.
Overall Village is still a good game and I still have lots of fun with it while I get the platinum, but it definitely peaked with the castle for me and after that it was a bit too much action.
RE3R ruined the dynamic between Jill and Nemesis. In the original he was a terminator style enemy that was on a mission and would not stop until that mission was completed, the mission being to kill all STARS members. In the remake the way Jill interacted with him reduced him to being a creepy stalker enemy, and that last voice line at the end with the railgun really points to that.
They did not change their dynamic for the better, but rather for the worse.
I gotta give RE3 remake their props for Making Jill & Carlos better characters
Facts!
The zombies in re2 remake were a real upgrade and reason to appreciate re2 even more.. they were stronger, faster and gorier than ever
True but I felt that fell in line with better graphics and gameplay I was trying to avoid doing Obv answers like that but I def agree!
@@NerdSpaceGamesI feel like the fact that you can shoot off their limbs, split them in half, and that if you land a crit headshot their heads explode would be more than enough to qualify as an improvement to the zombies themselves rather than just a graphical improvement
The changes they did to Ashley I felt were one of the better improvements to RE4's Remake myself. She feels like the appropriate age they were shooting for ( around 20's ) where in the original she felt like a 14-16 year old. I also felt that her character development was hugely improved as well. When you first interact with her she is tariffed, like a scared child. But as the game progresses she does grow much more confident. The little banter tossed between her and Leon as they travel also adds to her and Leons character rather well. Shows that Leon is really good at keeping his cool when he needs to and can even help lighten the mod when they do catch a break as they progress.
The sympathy garnered for Marvin was truly a heart wrencher. He definitely deserved better than his fate in my first playthrough. Just got back from the sewers, half expecting him to be a zombie, then I see him. I'm on the stairs, he's coming up to me and with my last shotgun shell, I figured I'd give him a quick send off, rather than a slow one with the knife since I had no pistol ammo. So, I aim and... He moves at the last second. I tore half of his face off along with his arm and had no real ability to finish him off. I wouldn't get the opportunity to finish him for quite some time due to Mr. X hunting me down, and when I did, he still grabbed me and I had to stab him anyway. I felt absolutely horrible.
I agree with all of these except for Brad Vickers. I would also add Leon and Ashley's new personalities in RE4 remake as well as the Krauser knife fight in chapter 11.
In hindsight I think I should have bumped Chief Irons for Ashley tbh
Finally, someone who loves RE3 Remake Jill. This is coming from someone who's first RE game was the OG RE3, and who also fell in love with OG Jill. But I just love RE3 Remake Jill more.
Slowly becoming my favorite resident evil / horror game channel.
Thanks!! Legit one of the nicest things someone has said to me. Much appreciated!!
@@NerdSpaceGames of course!
Usually, I have no interest in shooting and horror games.
So the real success of the Remakes, to me, is introducing the lore to a complete newbie, making me care about the characters and engaged with the story, and making me want to keep playing the game again and again to get that coveted S+ rank, complete all challenges, and complete everything to 100% 😊😊
Honestly, I know I'm going to get flack for this, but I loved how they redeemed Brad in RE3R. Considering how much of a coward he is, Chickenheart Vickers sticking around the city as it fell apart, risking his life to warn Jill, than literally sacrificing himself to save her, I gotta give props to the dev team for making hum much better.
Tbf, Brad did come back at the end of RE1, he was the cowardly lion type who was actually a lot braver than people thought.
Brad Vickers being the one to have bit Marvin would have worked onky IF somehow Nemesis infected him. We should have seen Nemesis kill Vickers as to see it do its job by at least killing kne STARS member and to introduce it's hostility.
Oh I agree! I don’t think how Brad died should have changed, I just like the change with Marvin.
@NerdSpaceGames Another change I liked with Brad is that he dies heroically in RE 3. But I feel you could have him die to Nemesis and still give him a heroic death. He starts off as a chickenheart but later gives his life to protect his teammate and friend and make up for his mistake.
Yeah, even though Brad was cowardly, inwardly he was braver than he thought and he would definitely fight to help his friends. Damn, he came back at the end of RE1. Also, considering he was a S.T.A.R.S member, he must have had some clout. @winters_revolt
Jill made no sense in the remake 😂 also dont get why they use the remake gimmick from jill in death island, while everyone else were the og characters 😂
Marvin was already an awesome character in the OG and in Outbreak. A total boss who tried to help as many survivors as he could, rally a defence and be an inspiration. In the Remake I damn near cried learning about his fate. Again, if OG wasn't bad enough. Marvin was the best guy and cop ever and he deserved better. Rest in power, Marvin.
Yelling and cussing constantly isn’t always a sign of being a “badass”. So Jill just seems like a different character to me. I like both versions but OG Jill seemed to care about other people more than the remake. Although I would be defensive too if I had gone through the Spencer mansion.
I'd say Annette from Claire's side in the remake. We get to see a slightly more human side to her when it came to Sherry compared to the original, she was very aloof and distant. But in the remake, we got to see her hesitate to help Claire save Sherry in the sewers then finally go be a mother and save her daughter, even waiting by her side to make sure she was clean.
I think Zombie Brad saying sorry is a homage to Day of the Dead when Bub the zombie almost says hello.
Sherrys voice actor was really good for a kid in Re2R
Chief Irons was actually worse and more creepy in the original. You actually confront him in his torture room in the sewers during your final encounter where he has taken and killed multiple women, he is a full-on serial killer with a taxidermy obsession. He was more subtle and creepy when you first meet him in the original before his true colors are revealed unlike in the remake which goes 0-100 in his first scene. Also, I don't think he is a pedophile he is just a murdery taxidermist whose victims are the mayor's daughter's age and appearance. Quote from a file "8 people have gone missing. Strangely, the missing people have a lot in common: They are all single white females aged 18 to 23 with beautiful blonde hair." from Resident Evil Outbreak Racoon today file. He also during og resident evil 2 hunted down his fellow officers in the station such as shooting one through their back into their heart and watching them bleed out, from the chief's diary re2 1998.
Irons in 2 remake is evil, but it's a more obvious and in-your-face evil while the original is slowly realizing oh god I'm dealing with a psychotic monster.
i really dont like the boss girl vibes with new jill, old jill was way better
Old Jill was the same in re3 og wtf r you talking about😂
Yeah, she had boss girl vibes in the OG 3, it was just a bit more plain as the cutscenes were very quick and a lot of her dialogue was in text.
RE3 remake is very disappointing in my opinion. So much stuff was taken out which made the original game better.
I do like Carlos from RE3R, which is why I hope as more RE games get more remakes, I hope they give Carlos more screen time in the future, I liked him in the OG RE3 game, but he was a lot more likable in the Remake, I also liked the tie in with Marvin being bitten by Brad, instead of it being some civilian, and Brad's last little gasps of humanity was a bit heartbreaking when he said "Sor-ry" to Marvin. Like the last bit of humanity left in Brad knew what was going to happen, and it almost seem poetic in a way, cause you get a sense from Brad that he still feels bad about bailing on the other STARS members during the events of RE1. But other than those two things, Carlos, and the Marvin and Zombie Brad altercation, I can't stand RE3R.
Re2 birkins designs really give you that sense of wtf and absolute horror and his story being fleshed out along with anette and sherrys as well as their relationships just makes what happpened to the birkins all that more tragic.
I don't know. Brad saying "Sorry", to me, felt like his last sliver of humanity trying to fight the infection while still it waa completely taking him over. Making Marvin's message to Claire and Leon more understandable.
I liked so much the chemistry between Carlos and Jill that I would love another RE game with both of them as protagonists
The crimsonhead detail is interesting to me from a lore perspective, because like... the early games having 'zombies' and them being bullet sponge enemies are memeworthy things, well-known historical parts of Resident Evil/Biohazard games... but crimsonheads remind you that these ARE NOT zombies--that's just a name for them. These are genetically altered mutant supersoldier creatures, inhuman abominations made by using humans infected by a lab-grown virus as an incubator and cocoon both that slowly transforms their corpse into a shambling, but eventually deadly, creature. These things can become lickers, and THAT'S a whole new nightmare. But the retroactive addition of crimsonheads to RE1R was a solid improvement, both in terms of the lore of Umbrella's nightmare factory and in regards to not just the survival-horror action gameplay of the first title, but the strategic conservation and planning side of the game as well.
I’ll say this, I do like the remake of RE3. Yeah, I was pissed about the content that was cut, but it was still a good game. However, RE2 is better!
Agreed on all accounts!
@@NerdSpaceGames I’ll say this about RE3, that opening scene with Nemesis, holy shit that was great and intense.
@@NerdSpaceGames , I also like the building chase as well. There was some great stuff in that remake. However, some of the issues the fans have brought up, I get.
Re3 remake hospital for me
The original RE3 did most things better than the remake, but the hospital was one area that was surprisingly improved and expanded on.
well they had to put something in the game that takes time since they left out so much from the OG lol
Who did Chief Irons kill in the original Resident Evil 2? As far as I remember the only person he threatened was Claire only to end up dead. And if it was the mayor's daughter, she was already dead as far as I can tell. Unless you are referring to what is told about his past in the book by S.D. Perry.
As far as what I think were the best changes the remakes did, here's my list:
10. Making the Yarn and Neptune enemy/boss scarier (RE1)
09. Addition of Lisa Trevor (RE1)
08. Expansion of Luis (RE4)
07. Making Ashley less annoying (RE4)
06. Less quick-times (RE4)
05. Making Krauser knife fight an actual fight rather than a quick-time event (RE4)
04. Giving characters the ability to use knives and other stuff as defense against bites (RE2)
03. Over the shoulder camera (RE2)
02. Mr X scarier pursuer (RE2)
01. Better inventory system (RE2)
There was some journals or something in the OG, if not the novels, that mentioned Irons ahem, abused a woman, got off because of Unbrella, and was on their payroll. He definitely had a thing for hunting and killing things and it was mentioned during the outbreak he was actively hunting officers and civilians seeking refuge. So he was already horrible in the OG, I guess in the REmake it was more pronounced with his creepiness.
I agreed with everything... except...
Hell naw, I disagree about Jill, completely.
She's my favorite alongisde Leon, and I think there's a misinterpretation about her calmness, in RE1R she takes Barry's magnum and confronts him, she is definetly not a pushover, she insults Wesker and stands her ground, in the beginning of RE1R she is actually so shocked about what she's seeing she is pulling the trigger on her empty handgun, she has a lot of empathy. Also she curses at her radio for not working lol. Barry helps her a lot but it makes sense because this is her first time facing the horrors of BOWs.
In original RE3 Jill is angry and does confront Carlos about being with Umbrella, but decides to trust him anyways because of her good heart. She even slaps him to get him out of a panic, and tells him panicking won't be of any help. She is far more serious in this game and doesn't seem to be affected by fear anymore, she takes smart decisions and knows when to retreat but has no fear to stand her ground.
In Revelations she makes some jokes to Parker, even shows to be sad about his apparent death. Makes some jokes about the chopper guy when he gives her a rocketlauncher "You know how to treat a girl!" This shows she's got a sense of humour and can be quite playful if she's comfortable.
In RE5 she jokes around with Chris but it was cut (Tells him "he likes them young" lol), makes jokes with Josh when he calls her pretty (she tells him something like "Bet you say that to all girls").
Jill is just calm/quieter in her original timeline, but she does have a personality, I just think due to her being a quieter person she can go unnoticed a little bit.
I also think whenever she is in Chris' presence her personality becomes duller.
In 3 remake she just swears a lot more, is a lot louder... and I honestly hate that. Gladly she didn't lose her empathy and we can see it with Carlos and with this guy that Nicholai shoots. I still prefer OG Jill.
I would have changed Jill with Ashley. I didn't dislike Jill in the remake but she is definitely not better compared to her original version. Nemesis literally had her in his grasp more often than once. The only reason why she survived isn't because how awesome she is but because of how bad Namesis is in the remake. Jill is more of a Mary Sue than a badass.
Luis’s death in the remake was trash vs his death in the original
He got punked out in the remake. It was garbage.
Irons donating children to Umbrella scares me because now I’m always thinking of Nemesis and Mr X either were children after years of experimenting on them or the children’s remains is what created the foundation for them
Crimson Heads being added to the Remake retroactively makes RE2's Lickers seem less out of left field when it was finally revealed that they were "evolved zombies" as we get to see the start of transformation process with the elongated claw like finger bones and increased speed and aggression after falling dormant for only a very short time. Its highly likely with all the missing person reports mention in the intro of RE1 there would be zombies wandering the mountains after the mansion incident slowly changing in the month or so between then and the city outbreak.
Brad speaking as a HALF turned zombie makes extreme sense. Remember "itchy itchy" ? If you're able to type it you're able to say it. And he only echoes one phrase. Making it sad.
I like to think that on some level, William Birkin retained some memories like Sherry which is why he didn't really go after her. it was only later that he was too far gone that he lost what made him human. it would explain why he went after Chief Irons since he saw that Sherry was in danger
I can list a couple badass things Jill did in OG 1 and 3, such as saving Chris from imprisonment, defeating a giant snake, a Tyrant (RE1) and taking down Nemesis, taking down a chopper, escaping a missile just in time, helping out UBCS, instead of the other way around (RE3).
A few of my favorite changes from each remake:
RE1. 1. The Lisa Trevor story was a excellent if not tragic addition to the RE series and went a long way towards helping the remake stand on its own.
2. The crimson heads were by far the best addition to the game and ultimately changes how you play once you know they're there. It is one of the reasons I consider the remake to be superior to the original.
RE2. 1. Leons character is so much better than in the original. Leon not only had TERRIBLE writing and dialogue along with everyone else he also was so insanely naive that it reached a level of absurdity by the end, the remake went a long way towards having Leon still be a rookie but not so naive that he feels down right stupid at times especially with regards to Ada.
2. Mr X. The fact that Mr. X now chases and follows you everywhere truly makes him the most terrifying thing in the game by far. Just hearing those footsteps even when he's nowhere near you is enough to make me consider turning and running.
RE3. 1. Carlos. Carlos was a nothing character who may as well have not been in the original game at all but the remake completely fixes this. Remake Carlos is a cool dude who genuinely just wants to help but doesn't realize how much he's being used and manipulated. Considering a lot of this game happens alongside RE2 I think it's appropriate that his arc in this game is very similar to Leons in that game.
2. Nikolai. In the original Nikolai kinda just seemed like a generic villain all things considered, and I'm not saying he's not generic in the remake but he FEELS more unique and charismatic to me. This may be more to do with the actors performance than anything else but either way Nikolai is a much better character here.
RE4. Ashley. Pretty much everyone agrees that Ashley was not a good character in the original game, in fact I didn't even know that she was supposed to be a 20 year old college student until about a month or so before the remake came out because she always acted like a spoiled 16 year old in the original. Ashley still has moments like that in the remake but they're more subtle and MUCH more realistic than before. Simply put, I was glad we never saw original Ashley again but I'll be sad if remake Ashley never comes back.
2. The controls. I never actually beat the original RE4 before, I've watched it be played several times but I've never been able to beat it myself because I can't stand the controls. Modern controls was one of the main reasons I enjoyed the remake so much, a game I've wanted to play for years was finally playable for me and I had a blast playing it.
I was hoping Brad would come back as a parastitic zombie mutation that stalked you and alerted Nemmy to your location with some creepy shriek or something, seeing that Nemmy could change zombies into parasite carriers got me like 'holy...is it gonna happen?!' but no dice 😂
Lol this would have shocked me like what?!
Resident evil 3 remake was so absolutely unequivocal disgustingly horrible that I’m currently working on launching a UA-cam channel to destroy capcom for stealing my money! Every time I think about just how much of a piece of teaming turd that game was, it makes me want to punch a baby! I’m trying to find words in my dictionary to express how livid I am that that’s the game we got!
Damn lol that’s passionate 😅
Not sure I agree with n°9 and 6.
Brad Vickers had a much better death in the original RE3 and introduced THE Nemesis in the best way possible, talking about a mysterious threat hunting down STARS members and a little while after that scene he's running terrified towards Jill trying to warn her about the mysterious monster and was suddenly killed by it in front of Jill.
As for the Mr.X Tyrant, can we really call it an improvement when the Claire/Leon campaigns (both scenario types) are the same with insignificant differences for the B scenario?
No matter the "scenario", the encounters & deaths of Mr.X Tyrants are the same. While I'm here, why giving the creatures a fedora? It doesn't make any sense, at least its clothing actually had a purpose as a "power limiter" of sorts.
Even if they wanted him in both paythroughs they introduced him far to early he should have been introduced no earlier than the midpoint of the first playthrough (preferably closer to the end of the first playthrough) and they use him way too much for the fear factor. By the time you get to the end of the first playthrough he isn't scary he is annoying as hell.
That's funny because people always think jill was the best part from the original re1 even remake now she was boring
When I saw the title.. my number 1 was crimson heads! Awesome list
Good choice! Lol
I prefer the og Brad death scene cause it's a more badass intro to nemesis
You ever blow the head off a crimson head and have it keep coming? This happened to me a couple of weeks ago on a hard playthrough as Chris in the hallway outside the door to the trap hall with the armor key.
Damn, Carlos and Jill's relationship is delightful, just as Leon and Ashley, these are huge wins.
I’ll chime in to say this. I agree with you about Jill being way more bad ass. Although, just like you, I wish the RE:3 remake would have given us more meat on the bone… Jill was fantastically captured. She is an authentic realistic portrayal of what the character would have actually been at the time of the outbreak.
This! I hate that people complain about her swearing so much, she’s an adolescent cop in the middle of her SECOND outbreak, of course she’s gonna have a mouth on her lol.
@@poisontippedsword3457 She's not really an adolescent..
@@-guhhh for some reason I though that just meant young adult? Lol. My bad, but my point is she’s really young.
Mine would probably be:
10. Expanded areas (RE1R)
9. Atmosphere (RE4R)
8. Jill (RE3R)
7. The orphanage (RE2R)
6. Carlos (RE3R)
5. Mr. X (RE2R)
4. Ashley (RE4R)
3. Over the shoulder (RE2R)
2. Lisa Trevor (RE1R)
1. Crimson Heads (RE1R)
As others have pointed out, not including Ashley on this list is a major oversight.
If this was uploaded back in November, I think two more entries from RE4 Remake. One of them being Ada is more morally conscious and the other would be making the Red Cloaked Verdugo more important.
This video was made before Separate Ways so the red cloaked Verdugo didn’t get any attention yet. As for ada, I think that’s debatable depending on the person. Personally, I prefer the original Ada but I totally respect the people that prefer the more considerate ada in the remake.
Not a casual, just couldn't afford a memory card so never knew Mr.X
Used to do no saving runs by force.😅
Cussing doesn't automatically make you a badass. Jill had way more personality in the original than the remake and she doesn't need to cuss to show that. In the original she was courageous but also showed how caring she was. Didn't she slap carlos to his senses?
Im going to watch every resident evil game on UA-cam. I’ve only watched my bf play through 7 and 8 which were both amazing. I don’t think I could ever handle playing those two games seems like the scariest two out of all lol.
Lol 7 is def the scariest imo 😅
1 and 4 were the most faithful to the original that brought positive changes and improvements to the story, 2 was good but the changes were exaggerated, they removed basic enemies and created more script holes since the campaigns are almost the same, and 3 is the worst, they removed too much and added an unnecessary copy of the sewers and lab from RE2, very rushed remake
I just listened to the audio books of resident evil by S.D. Perry and I learned Marvin was an undercover Umbrella agent
I think Marvin was also the officer of the month.
I don't agree with Brad as something positive, on the contrary, they erased a very epic scene from the original with Nemesis finishing with the only member of Stars with which he achieved his goal, and also the Marvin thing had already been explained in Outbreak file 2, that although it is not canon, it made more sense.
I think the best thing about remakes is that they now can run on PC without making it unfun for the PC user. And tank controls. God...
And Ashley. She is finally likeable. Never played OG RE2 or 3 to compare much so Agreed here
Carlos had 0 rizz
5:21 this change makes the story way more sadder and also scarier in a way and I'm here for it 😭
Surprised you didn't say Ashley in the re4 remake. She's gone from an extremely annoying bratty character in the original to more of an actual person in the remake that I cared about saving.
The one thing that defines the remakes to me is the defense items, the ability to dodge damage that would be guaranteed in the originals is great, but of course RE3R removed it for no reason other than the dodge mechanic
3:02 ZomDad to the rescue ~
5:00 Dance, ZomBrad, DANCE!
Adding small things like these in remakes are why fans love certain game developers.
Actually Outbreak answer the question of how Marvin got bite. It was during the climax of the RPD scenario
Fair but remake changed that. Plus outbreak has not been confirmed or deconfirmed as canon. Even though there is an Easter egg in re7 it’s still not officially canon
What I liked about RE4 Remake is the castle part, my first play through made me feel like I was playing the Beta version of the game with that ghost or hallucination
I feel like for number 9, we see Marvin holding his stomach after getting bit in Resident Evil Outbreak File 2 Desperate Times and that was the reason for his injury. I personally don't like the change that Brad bit him.
Based on the first 3 releases alone, long live the 90s 😅, this will always be my #1 top game franchise. I immediately fell in love with that first zombie over the shoulder stare in re1 1996, and I've never looked back. Also, tofu, man. Tofu. Such a serious game with such a goofy character, it was perfection, and then....NEMESIS. RE is the best long running game series ever
I like the personality and delivery of lines of luis better in the original but i still like the remake luis also. I kinda wish they had a more merged version of him combining the 2 luis’s
Brad speaking makes sense because he was bitten not that long ago.
Disagree with Brad. His death at the hands of Nemesis upset the tension of the monster (in addition to some mentions of other offscreen STARS jobbers being killed off) and is still an emotional moment as Jill is forced to watch her friend die. Admittedly it would be much better if she ruminated on his death later, after the shock of it and the situation wear off.
In the remake, Nemesis only kills the Umbrella mercs when he should be concerned with Jill at the front and nobody else. Brad’s moment could have been given to another character and is a little out of nowhere considering we haven’t seen anything like it in the series (talking about verbal discussion here, not notes we only read after the fact). Not to mention it should be Jill witnessing this and not Carlos.
Jill is better in the original too.
My biggest improvement is the camera angles. Trying to play og RE4 and it's been damn near impossible. I'm always fighting the camera lol
The best thing of re 3 remake , was Carlos, Nemesis is not nemesis and Jill is just following the hollywood girlboss trope, so no she is not real jill
She is though. The original she has the same vibe. She just didn’t curse as much. The dialogue was awful and the cutscenes were short but it was the same vibe. I just think her vibe changes a bit with Chris because she’s more relaxed and that’s the most recent Jill we’ve seen with the Lost in Nightmares DLC.
I think you don´t even pay attention to Luis Serra well writen name. In the original was written Sera because maybe that english speakers developments thought that how was written because in English double RR is not so common, but in remake also the developments wrote his name well with double RR as Serra because is a Spanish last name
I love 3Make solely because of the changes to Jill and Carlos. Jill was always a badass to me but this three dimensionalised her and added the PTSD element.
Carlos they turned into a seasoned merc while still keeping him a goofball (The 'Cold Carlos-less world' and 'Open Sesame' lines as prime examples) but his heart is in the right place. Also the physical changes suit that character better.
The acting is absolutely stellar and is the reason why if I just want the STORY of RE3 I'll play the remake over the original.
Crimson Heads are also zombies on their way to becoming lickers. If they ever do a RE1 remake to bring it in line with the over the shoulder camera (gotta admit, the mansion would look AMAZING), Crimson Heads and Lisa Trevor have to be included, as well as Jill's self reliance and her badassery, but definitely play up the shock to her mind for a good contrast to her in the 3 remake.
Yeah bruh you’re wrong with number 9 Brad was done much better in the original. His death being used to introduce Nemesis was a masterpiece of writing. Also jill is even less of a badass in the remake. Not once does she save herself or fight for herself. She’s always rescued by a third party. Re-writing a character to a stoic no nonsense persona is just an excuse to not write an in depth character
Next video idea top 10 tragic backstories of re
The change to Mr X was kind of weird for me, altho weird might not be the best word. The way the original game had him hidden behind a second play though made for better replay value bc of how it changed the experience from one run to the next….but he’s also an enemy that def deserves more screen time so the remake did well to give it to him.
Was going fine until the Jill remake change, Nah not for me boring pissed off badass girl trope seen so much in media lately obviously pushed by a particular group in capcom thinking its promoting women empowerment, totally unrecognisable from her original characteristics, she was strong without being 1 dimensional
