Best Johnny line ever.
No that's because cory is a chunky chunk fuck and chunky chunk fucks love slurpees
@@sidestrafegaming3489 I don't deny that that was a fantastic line. But this one is definitely on the same level, especially with the perfect visuals.
SideStrafe Gaming which vid was that again?
@@jordongutierrez1219 Cory in the House
I died laughing when he said that lmao.
This marathon led me to finally trying a Resident Evil game. Just played through 4 on the Wii last week
Best version of the game. :3
@OIAN Pointer controls are the best in mechanics. You'd probably say ps4 for the graphics. Who cares 'that' much about graphics?
Harus Streit id say the pc version is the best. You got the HD graphics and the gyro aim that is standard on PC so ya got that motion aim.
Primo choice my good man 👌
@OIAN wrong it is the games cutscenes werent crunched like they are on modern hardware as well as looks more naturally better. Plus you could use a gamecube controller if you felt like using original controls
The RE movies are trash.
Making films and games to appeal to "EVERYONE"
That's a bad decision..
Yeah, Transformers knows about that until recently
The first one and the second animated movie are both fine.
@@oscarmccormack1611 For me, the movies didn't start going downhill until the third.
I thought the first two were fine, but yeah things really went down hill in the third movie.
And I swear there continuity is 10 times worse then the X-men films were.
All of the movies are terrible. I feel like people only like the first two movies because everything from the third onward was so abysmal it makes the first two look good.
There is no better birthday present than a Johnny video.
Looking back on reviews like these, it's kind of nice how far Johnny's come on reviewing games he doesn't like. Less shouting at games like Big Rigs or Saw for their vices, more like he's just disappointed- I really appreciate how he tries to look at the mindset of *why* certain decisions might have been made in development, but of course some things you can't excuse.
Looking forward to more years of these great videos.
Great way to start my morning with a new Johnny Vs.
Greatest thing Gamestop ever did for me- mistakenly put REmake in the RE0 GameCube case
I just realized that thier weren't that many remakes of older games during the ps2 GameCube and Xbox era
GameCube and WII version Jill's RE3 costume shows panties, in Playstation remaster releases they're gone even Capcom had to have a meeting over that. So yeah depending on the game nintendo censors before, but now adays they're more free on violence and mature games which may contain sex and adult themes such as the Witcher series.
That is....odd.
And why do you know this?
@@scissorman44 because I own the WII version and the HDremake
”wash your hands, wipe your ass”
Good advise, but preferably NOT in that order.
NICE KEURIG, GOT ONE MYSELF
Ooh! Johnny, can you do RE's siblings? The Dino Crisis series sometime soon?
Oh wow, really glad I got the Remake on Gamecube and not Zero on the Gamecube.
I own both games and Resident Evil 4. They're the only Resident Evil games I own...and I'm seriously considering getting REmake and RE4 on my Switch. Not Zero because I suck at Resident Evil as it is.
I’m looking forward to all the funny ways he is avoiding saying virus in these
Wait you have to wrap up the Kirby marathon? I thought it was finished
was anyone else hoping johnny would re use the clip from the BSC playthrough where the tyrant just bitch slaps the rocket away?
I have the Wii version and played on the WiiU it looks damn good as well. Plus using the single Wii mote to play it is surprisingly good. Worth checking out.
16:00 Censor mode came outa nowhere to save Johnny.
aw man re3 remakes next? i was completely looking forward to seeing him gush about 4
More DMC references, John you tease.
Damn and I thought you were hard on Code Veronica. Poor Zero...
Can't argue with anything said here. Resi Remake and Original Resi 2 are the best. Zero is . . . I dunno, maybe I always gave the RE series more credit as a kid, but I always imagined the outbreak being due to corporate sabotage and backstabbing. Intrigue like. Not an opera singing leach man. In any other context I'd be up for such lunacy, but here it were wank
RE1 Remake and RE2 are tied for my favorite classic survival horror game.
RE3 1999 does have a bunch of interesting decision choices though. Too bad the 2020 remake dropped most of what made that one different from RE2 1998.
@@Gruntvc Aye. When a person's right, a person's right
Question, do you plan on doing revelation 1 and 2?
I'm sure someone has already mentioned this, but the HD remaster of RE1 does allow you the choice to play in 4:3 as opposed to 16:9. Presumably, the Zero HD remaster works the same. I preferred the 4:3 just because I didn't like the camera bob as it moves to follow you.
The only reason 0 and 1 remake got ported was because the failure and losses they suffered from Resident Evil 6 and their other games. Capcom didn't know what to do with other projects and Resident Evil was losing interest from the fans and Capcom really didn't know what direction to go with them. It just cracks me up how people diss nintendo as a kid friendly company. Nintendo was making hardcore games on their NES era before everybody else. Of course you wouldn't know that.
Still to this day re2 original is my favorite game of all time
This marathon needs more eggs.
Hey Johnny, what do you think about reviews of 3D Fightning Games? I recommend start with Virtua Fighter Franchise since you only need to play 7 or 8 games and they are really fast.
Boy, if he hates this two player at once mechanic, imagine how he's gonna feel with RE5...
He already reviewed that game way back when and thought it was fine. Of course he did re-review Sonic Chronicles and Unleashed to have more up to date thoughts, so maybe he'll look at it again someday. But based on my experience with the demo, I don't think the partner mechanic is bad. My partner was able to handle herself just fine and could even help me when I was in a pinch. And of course, if you don't trust your AI partner enough there always is the option to call up a friend and play locally or online.
@@MasuxAnderson which, depending on your situation, is either pretty easy or next to impossible.
Actually Rebecca had to practice before playing the piano
You forgot the most irritating thing about RE0. Because it uses fixed camera perspectives you can't move the camera and comfortably look around your environment. Alright, that's fine for building dread but because your only means of dropping items is to leave them on the floor it's entirely possible for objects to be completely hidden by an stuff in the foreground or even getting caught between angles so you can't see items from any part of the room. I'm not joking when I say I lost valuable ammo and story important items to the unseen void and basically brick the game because of it.
Also as a side note that piano piece at the beginning of RE0 is great and it's a shame there isn't an official soundtrack or at least the opening music without narration.
It's Arklay. Not ArkAlay. As someone who's played so much RE you really shouldn't have to be told lol
Agreed on RE Zero. As an OG fan this is the most frustrating entry. 2 more inventory slots and an item box would have largely fixed the gameplay issues. The story would still be pants though.
Resident Evil with Lisa and RE Survivor had the best Umbrella is evil plot lines
Do not take the Mark of the Beast!
Umbrella Chronicles has the best version of RE:0
"The HD version released on 2015 on everything available at the time"
CRIES ON WII U
There was a Wii port of both RE1 Remake and RE Zero. Wii U was backwards compatible with Wii discs.
@@Gruntvc I know but still, that's pretty sad, the other consoles, even last gen ones, get the fancy new version in HD and extras and you just a port.
@oscarzx n, I understand.
At least the Switch got them. Though the physical copy was not a true one like on PS4 or Xbox 1 as only RE Zero is on the cart.
Plus even the digital versions are more money on Switch, $29.99 vs. $19.99. What.
@jesus barrera Yeah, blame Nintendo for everyone buying $60 games at $60 proving why the business never needs to lower its prices to sell copies. Uh huh.
Maybe if everyone stopped buying Breath of the Wild two years in, they'd need the idea, but they don't cause they sold OVER TEN MILLION COPIES at 60 bucks a pop.
@jesus barrera If it still gets them money, from a business standpoint they never need to.
Am I saying it's BETTER that Nintendo always keeps their games at 60 all the time? Hell no, it kind of is a pain in the ass that lots of games quickly dip and launch titles are still full price. But from Nintendo's view...they never need to cause everyone still buys them for that.
They REALLY need to do Nintendo Selects already for Switch for Breath of the Wild *or hell ARMS cause they're trying to re-market it* but million-copy sellers at full price is a lot of bank to be made.

Oh.
The problem with re0 is the lack of storage chests
There are worse forms of heart break.
Can you please let me know a few things you like about RE0 cuz other than story i cant find anything redeemable about it
@@Clouds12012 I've never played a Resident Evil game personally, but based on this review video, I think the visuals look quite nice. Obviously they aren't on the same level as RE1 Remake, but they're still top notch for the Gamecube.
@@Clouds12012 I'm a big fan of the partner system, and since Zero was my first classic RE, the lack of chests didn't bother me. I also really enjoyed the area layouts, but that seems to be an unpopular opinion of mine. Story is dumb yes, but I just really liked the partner mechanics enough to find Zero more enjoyable than the other classic REs I would later play, Remake1 and 3
Rebecca is adorable with glowing red eyes, like a cute little vampire.

@@livingcorpse5664 I think you are castlevania fan XD
I’ve always found it weird that in Resident evil zero Rebecca is extremely competent and even took on a tyrant by herself but in RE1 she couldn’t defend herself.
RE Zero is a bad retcon prequel. Story wise, it really does not connect with RE1 or the remake.
MGS3 did it better.
Genome Soldat mgs3 is in top 10 games of all time.. got Foxhound rank last week with 3 saves and not a single reset. When i finally beat the boss i literally felt like i just went on a badass mission and succeeded
Barring the original game, It's more of a discrepancy caused by the fact remake dropped before zero. As you said, Rebecca kills a damn tyrant solo but then resets to helpless status once she reaches the mansion when she had more weight under her belt in dealing with the BOW's than Chris/Jill. It's one of those things I found to be extremely annoying/unfortunate about the game.
She's been up for a long ass time is why.
They tried to explain it by saying Rebecca was lacking sleep in RE1 since RE0 took place not long before 1
2:18 That Dreamcast bit had me dying
Oh my god, Lewis DOES have Leon's haircut. I thought that was a joke.
Lewis literally wears that haircut as an homage to Leon. It's completely intentional.

@@RyuuSix I remember that story.
So if Lewis is Leon and Ted is Loki, what does that make Johnny and Ryan?
Yo John, just wanted to say thanks for keeping up with the great videos during this trying time. My dad is in the hospital fighting against the virus, and videos like yours are helpful in helping me stay calm during this. I’ve never even played a resident evil game and I’ve loved this marathon a lot so far. Thank you for your wonderful content.
I'm sorry about your Dad. I hope he gets well and recovers.
Hope your father gets a speedy recovery.

_(Oh, and Zero is here, too, I guess.)_
Imagine saying that last bit to Mega Man fans.
That Wesker mode looks pretty cool, honestly. Seriously, can you imagine if Rebecca was his secret weapon instead of Jill in RE5? Would have made her more relevant in terms of plot than Zero, plus her design is great to boot.
Anyways, great review as always. Though I am curious, is the Outbreak games gonna be here, since it was the last time they did the classic formula before RE4 changed it up, or is that gonna be for another time?
Interesting how everything Johnny felt about this game was the exact opposite of how Caddy and Jordan felt. Even down to how they felt about the opening of the game
Guess that shows how divisive 0 really was
Guess you can call it the Zelda 2 of the series.
Jordan who?

Pro tip, use the directional buttons to walk during the fuel canister section. Even with the modern control scheme the directional buttons use tank controls and you only walk when using them

@@keelanbarron928 Devilman is an anime and manga where one of the major themes is that all humans are inherently evil
Not sure why he brought it up tho
Sounds like you got the youtube miniplayer bug where it shows a new video but still has the comment section from the last video, bud.
IMO - RE0 is a flawed, but ultimately entertaining and unique entry in the series.
@Dark Shadow Storm The reasons people bring up are pretty consistent. Annoying inventory, annoying enemies, lackluster characters. Everyone I see brings up the same points. And I agree with all of them. I can't even finish this game its unbearable some times
nicktoons125 I’m one of those RE fans that enjoyed RE Zero.
No
IMO.
@Dark Shadow Storm dude yes exactly, they crit 0 for doing exactly wat all RE games do.

SEGATA FOREVER!
@@Mekboy_ComputerMonster Hey man, not my problem Sega made a bunch of asinine business decisions. Even Segata couldn't save the Dreamcast, and that shows volumes of how much of a hole Sega dug for themselves.
I have a Dreamcast. Unfortunately, I only own Sonic Shuffle for the poor thing.
Those books were actually REALLY fun adaptations of some of the games with some interesting original stories as well. They were way better than the live action movies
I read the adaptation of RE2 on every bus ride during 7th grade. It was such a good trash read to entertain myself during downtime when I didn't feel like playing Pokemon Gold.
One good thing about qaurantine: Johnny can get a shitton of videos done
*cries in SGB*
Either REmake or RE4 is my favorite in the series.
RE1 Remake 2002, arguably the best of the survival horror REs.
RE4 is arguably the best of the action horror ones.

@@crutial87ify just get a rocket launcher and blow him up.
Damn that's unfortunate ya didnt like zero. I can see the two character management being annoying and having certain characters locked out because of event sequencing (like of Billy gets caught in the cage early on instead of rebecca. Hes also right that the train is probably the best part of the game. But I'll say that zero does have some amazing atmosphere and is worth at least a look while on sale.
Can’t wait for a review on RE 3 remake
Resident evil remake: Love it.
Resident evil zero: Burn it.
I feel ya Johnny, I really didn't like it either and I have no intention of going back to that game ever again.
Plus when Sheena island was shown I was like "Ha! I knew it! I knew he was gonna do that!" Your gonna have to play survivor one of these days for a review.
The hate for Survivor makes no sense to me, to this day. I swear, people would only hate it because it doesn't feel like your typical RE venture. Oh, and maybe the lack of Guncon support, but trust me, it's better without it. Two controllers for a 1 player game? Fuck. That.

*Slowly raises hand*
Well looks his Resident Evil review is back from the dead!
Also Billy along with Rebecca are some of the most underrated RE characters.
i would like to see Rebecca be a part of the story again as its mentioned she is part of the b.s.a.a (maybe dlc for 3 remake that goes into what she was doing to escape raccoon city as she disappears in the classic games after 1 with only zero and a picture of her in 2.) i would be down to see her,the original s.t.a.r.s members/classic characters and their allies in resident evil 8. :3

A good thing you were better than that though Johnny, my hat goes off to you in what you have become and the great things you have achieved since then, setting a better example for us fans here! :P
Johnny: "Have a fantastic night."
Vid goes out 10:30 am EDT.
No, daylight horror isn't a thing yet for the series.
Ahhhh a good day when Johnny uploads xD
I thought zero was awesome. shame you didn't dig it.
Anyone else noticed Johnny left in more of his breaths between lines than usual in this one?
No, and that's a good thing. Sometimes when he rapid fires off lines I get behind and have to rewind the video. I've had to do that many times on his prior videos. Leaving in breathes helps the viewer to fully understand the current line before moving on to the next one. Sure it bloats the video out, but I think it's necessary to help make it feel more natural.
Though it's important to note that breathes is not equal to long stretches of nothing. Johnny doesn't put in long stretches of nothing, but I wouldn't call breathes nothing (in case some argues this counterpoint).
"The T-vividy-vividy" cracked me up. 😂
Man even though it bombed, Remake 1 is considered one of the best remakes in general and one of the best in the series.
The 2002 RE1 Remake and RE Zero bombed because they were made exclusive to the GameCube. Most RE fans of the PS1 classics had PS2s, not GameCube.
The irony is that once Capcom finally ported RE1 Remake to modern consoles and pc it sold extremely well and that's why they decided to "remake" RE2 and RE3.
Unfortunately, the teams behind the two recent remakes did not have Shinji Mikami there to make sure nothing was cut, but push to improve and add like with the RE1 Remake.
Didyouknowgaming released a video talking about the development history of RE3 1999 and Shinji got that team to add content to the game. Content that Capcom cut in the so called remake.
Oh Capcom...
@@Gruntvc yeah I know, the series director felt he betrayed their Nintendo deal when Resident evil 4 was released to multiple platforms.
However, you can't just continue a series without money. He had to learn that the hard way.
Zero_OR 5 still sold 1.5 million on a GameCube. Thrived on ps4 and Xbox one
@Zero_OR 5, True, you need money. Sucks that the PS2 port, which except for some nice extra content, is objectively worse than the GC original and we lost Shinji Mikami over it.
Can't speak to how he is as a person, but Shinji definitely had a positive impact on Capcom back then.
Really missing his influence now with RE3 Remake.
@@Gruntvc Wait, what got cut from RE3's remake?
RE: Zero.
That one with the train and the leeches.
The train is only 15 min or so. It was an odd game.
"Resident Evil Zero" - A title that perfectly describes how much of an impact it has on the series - JUST JOKING -
- But seriously. I like RE Zero, I thought the 2-character gameplay was interesting and made for some cool puzzles, and I didn't find the inventory issues that annoying. Besides, I like having multiple characters around. Jokes aside, though, it didn't really influence the other games in the series, not in terms of plot nor gameplay. On nothing, really. Which is a shame, it would have been cool to see the 2-character gameplay brought back, or the hability to leave items anywhere you want.
i still think zero is a better RE than code veronica. sure the lack of an item box really hurts it, and the enemies are nonsense. but CV isnt that diferent... but at the very least... there's no steve in zero. and that is a massive bonus.
I agree with you completely. RE0 was actually the first RE I played, at least I got some enjoyment out of it.
Resident Evil Revelations 2
@@Eloras_Clownary6498 revelations 2 could be considered if the partner character was actually useful. 0's partner AI can help in fights, gives you 6 extra item slots (a reason i disagree with the inventory argument since you actually have 12 slots if you just think strategically), and can be player controlled simultaneously in tight situations. Rev 2's partner AI was sooooo heavily built around MP and even then not that well. They get shit for weapons (seriously fuck moira and her "I'm in a life and death situation but i still won't use a gun" bs), are virtually useless as pack mules since items are scarce (as well as you having a larger inv reserve), and the character when not player controlled is dumb as a box of rocks.
2:25 Well, that perception probably maintained due to Nintendo primarily making kid-friendly games like Mario, Zelda, F-Zero, Star Fox. Yeah, there's the occasional Conker's Bad Fur Day, Eternal Darkness, and Bayonetta 2, but Nintendo's library is still primarily the former. It isn't helped that the more mature games are spread out between whole console generations.
Have you heard of "Under the Skin" (recently covered by Nitro Rad)? I heard it has a RE level in it.
11:13
"Hey, stop that!"
Wow. Definitely got its attention.
Resident Evil 2002 is my favorite remake of all time. It also has my favorite version of Jill
Visually speaking, and mostly thanks to the pre rendered backgrounds and good design choices, these games still look great to this day.
11:05 I kinda find it hilarious that this infected zombie boss is trying to kill that guy in a slow and dramatic fashion, but Jill is ruining the moment by constantly shooting at him, and he was getting irritated so he ran up to her and swatted her away basically telling her to piss off.
In terms of classic and co-op gameplay, there is another. The criminally overlooked Outbreak. Honestly, if Capcom ever wants to go back to pre-rendered backgrounds and tank controls (or them as an option along analog) how about an Outbreak File #3?
This is a weird thing to comment on but: I’m SO glad I’m not the only one who notices the hilarious way Billy needlessly elongates the pronunciation of “STARS” during his introduction! Thanks for also noticing that Johnny! 😁
About the Nintendo bit on them having that "Only for kids" mentality. I think it just boils down to the West being stupid and not touching the GameCube because "Purple box not LOOK manly!!! ME ADULT!!!". To be honest, even though I disagree with Nintendo's approach in the Wii era to be more casual focused, It makes sense why they embraced that stigma about them. They made a real effort to be more "hardcore" focused with the GameCube, this RE deal being an example, but people weren't there to support them.
Meanwhile, the Dreamcast just got shunned because of the failure of the Saturn despite being one of the most ambitious consoles of its time and home to a plethora of great games (of which I only know of two in the form of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2).
I'm starting to love RE. I've played RE2 Remake and RE7. I briefly played RE4, but it felt kinda clunky.
Penguin Dragneel RE4 is starting to show its age.
It's called tank controls. Get used to it.
Resident Evil 1 Remake 2002 is arguably the best remake ever done. It stays faithful to the PS1 classic, but adds a ton of content and improves the shortcomings of the original.
Really wish Capcom would've done the same for RE2 and RE3, but no Shinji Mikami after RE4.
Agreed. I don't know how you look at everything the RE1 remake did so right and just completely ignore all of that just to give us these boring, over the shoulder, modern style horror games instead.
Honestly wouldn't say the REmake 2 we got is nothing to scoff at.
(REmak3...Maybe struck alil too soon.)
Though, if I am honest, it would've been interesting to see 2 and 3 remade in the style of REmake. (The Classic style, basically)
Perhaps that would make for a fun Fan Project now that these REmakes are done, wouldn't you say?
@@Mekboy_ComputerMonster With the money Capcom wasted on all these crappy spin-off games over the years, they could have funded such projects themselves.
Resident Evil Remake certainly has the most foreboding atmosphere in my experience. The music and lack of character interactions compared to other titles helps. The characters being too chatty kind of undermines the atmosphere.
@Shin Computer-Monster, Resident Evil 2 Remake already made some questionable cuts and changes, but I definitely enjoyed the gameplay. I considered it my game of the year for 2019.
I was hoping for the same with RE3 Remake, but unfortunately, they make so many more cuts and changes I can barely even call it a remake. It's more a reboot.
As it stands, RE3 Remake is at best a good game, but not a game of the year contender. Capcom definitely rushed it and knew the single player would not be worth $60+, so they bolted on Project Resistance which has loot boxes and microtransactions up $29.99. No thanks, bro.
Fans are doing a better job preserving the classic trilogy than Capcom. There's fans hard at work getting the old games to work on modern pcs in HD.
Meanwhile, Capcom hasn't rereleased the original games in some form on any of the current available consoles or pc. A shameful display.
I've seen a few fan projects, one which started as an RE2 Remake before it became its own game, Daymare 1998.
Legit best way to experience RE0: Play it's take on the game in Umbrella Chronicles. (Helps that game has DC Douglas as Wesker)
3:07 I bet this part scared the shit out of a lot of people.
One tip for the remaster versions
You can still use tank controls while using the alternate controls. The alternate is using the analog stick while the d-pad uses tank controls. This way you can get the advantage each one has to offer.
"I know, I'm doing a lot of bitching here..."
John, it's your review, this is your opinion, this is a review on YOUR run of the game, so bitch all you want. You have that right.
Anyone else go on a SomecallmeJohnny marathon all day, only to realize Johnny has a new video up at the time you are going to watch something else.
REmake is one of the best games and remakes ever made.
That Hookshot idea as a weapon should’ve been included. Heck, Wesker Mode is probably the most random addition RE has ever seen in rereleases, so who knows in the future?
I had the biggest fucking smile on my face when John was trying to close the PSOne lid, I live for references like that. good shit man :)
AHH yes that most dangerous of bio weapons. T-vividyvividy
Nothing is better than getting all nice and warm in bed and watching a 30 minute Johnny video
So Johnny, Devil May Cry Marathon next after Resi?
Resi Zero is really just the weakest entry in the classic series. Didn't like it myself and the fact that I played it right after the excellent REmake made the experience so much more mediocre...
The remake is a damn good looking game for early 2000s
