I love how Chris, after all the horrors of the mansions, literally laughs in Wesker's face and Wesker's like "dude, stop it. You're making me feel stupid" 😂
Wesker really wants people to think that he is cool. That is why he wears sunglasses at night. But Chris is having none of it. So he zeroes in on what Wesker doesn't like about himself and strikes straight and true.
19:29 honestly this is my favorite moment from any RE game. Like Wesker wants to be taken seriously so badly, but Chris is near his breaking point and hearing this ridiculous shit finally just makes him snap, but weaker wanted to monologue.. is this why he has such a grudge against them? When he tells Claire "I despise Chris!" In CV I just think of this scene playing in his head
I'm almost certain the lines here were all recorded by each person individually without listening to each other. IIRC, some lines, like the Barry Grenade Launcher line were recorded without even knowing full details of the game, in this case what the weapon was, hence the extremely generic "Powerful Weapon". It's probably why conversations don't flow. Also note that the pregnant pauses in the original ps1 are because they are individually loading lines to play. These pauses don't exist on PC.
I always see people stating that the name Resident Evil is about fighting evil in a residence. I used to think the same when the first game came out.. but after it became a franchise and there was no residences anymore but the name remained I went back to the title and found a different interpretation that may or may no be intentional. For me Resident Evil has nothing to do with the mansion... but with the virus itself. A virus is a resident that lives inside an organism.. After doing a quick research I found some scientific articles that do refer to viruses or parasites as residents and the victims as hosts. It all makes sense now.. Resident Evil is an evil resident that resides inside a host.. this concept fits all entries of the series.. viruses, las plagas, etc.
Interesting theory. Sounds like the missing link between the original Japanese title "Bio-Hazard" and the English title "Resident Evil". A bio-hazard caused by an evil virus resident in its hosts.
I always assumed it referred to an evil close to home. Just a proximity thing. And how you would go to other locations, the evil would be "resident" to that specific setting
It could also be talking about people. People made the viruses in the games, they use the viruses in the games, and they take residence in the various locales of the series, especially those like wesker, birkin, spencer, etc.
When showing the clips of Barry's classic lines, you just so happened to skip my favourite scene of his. Jill: "You saved me!" Barry: "Yeaaaaah." You did show the bit that came right after that, so.. yeaaaah... it's fine. Also, that Dual Shock Basement Theme meets Trumpet Boy meme is GOLD.
for years i wondered what the combination to that door was and i genuinely forget if i discovered the waiting for the rope bit by accident or if someone told me
I figured something would happen and I'd get left in the hole and was about to look around, but I had to answer a phone call and got back just as he dropped the second rope. =P
So fun story, this game doesn’t have subtitles so one time when I did a play through of it I edited subtitles in. I swear half of Barry’s dialogue is some variation of “Jill, I found something.”
"Lisa trevor got turned into a monster that has a endless blood streak that constantly tormented by her father's past". - Barry "hahaha, what a story Barry!" - Jill
21:25 In an alternate universe, Chris and Albert's musical practice for the Raccoon City Symphonic Orchestra drove Jill insane, causing her to develop the T virus for Umbrella, kicking off the events of Resident Evil 1.
Here's a brief history behind the director's cut soundtrack: The person that was hired to compose the music, for the duel shock edition, was Mamoru Samuragochi, who was partially deaf. Now, you might think that that would explain the reason why the soundtrack was so weird, but the actual reason behind it is even weirder. Because it turned out Mamoru Samuragochi was FAKING his partial deafness and in reality hired a ghost writer named Takashi Niigaki to compose the soundtrack instead
I remember watching my dad playing the 1st resident evil and thought, it was the coolest game. I remember asking him, "why dont you kill all the monsters". His response was, "Son, thats not how you play this game. You gotta conserve ammo." Lol
As calm as you keep your voice, it's impressive how much enthusiasm shows through! Love your vids - I've learned things I've taken for granted about several franchises now.
In my opinion Barry's worst line was "This hall is dangerous." because it's actually one of the few rooms without any monsters. As a kid I thougt I simply didn't understand what he meant by that, haha.
@@nitsuagaming6121 well, lore-wise... They're not. The T-Virus doesn't revive dead things. It merely increases their metabolism, leading to tissue decay, as well as extreme brain damage and hunger, making them very, well, zombie-like.
Nemesis also does that "touching shoulder thing" when he gets beaten... I always imagine Nemesis saying "ouch" when he does... "STAAAARS!!! WRAAAAAGH!!!! ... oouch"
I never played the original trilogy until recently, I thought they'd be dated, cryptic and very difficult but in reality they were the exact opposite, it's nuts how fun and playable they still are.
I do think Resident Evil as franchise itself really is the foundation of how games are now. Resident Evil 1-4 gave birth to how survival horror should be, how action games should be, and how third person shooter should be. Without RE 1 - 4 there will be no Devil May Cry, Dead Space, Silent Hill, Uncharted, The Last Of Us, and many more games.
“My wife.”That was awesome 😂😂😂. Surely Jill is one of most loved character in video games.I found the game easier with Chris the first time, Jill's low HP made me curse so much in this game.
Do you think the "He is such a fraidy cat. He'll know what's scary!" Idea devolved into just seeing if they could make him scream sometimes? Like they get bored and go to him to ask "Hey man, what do you think of this?" And BOOM! Dogs busting through the window.
I only bought the GameCube for the remake of resident evil back in 2002. It’s crazy to think that the remaster of the remake looks phenomenal. The RE remake has aged incredibly well.
I bought a dreamcast just to play code veronica cos it was "dreamcast exclusive" only for it to come out on ps2 later lol then I bought a gamecube cos of the resident evil remake
19:30 It really comes off like Wesker was concerned for Chris in that moment like he was saying "Hey man are you ok?" like that's how bad but also amazing this voice acting is.
Great retrospective, this game brings back so many good memories. To me, the best version of the classic RE 1 is RE DS, I love all the little extras they added, like the awesome knife mode or silly details like being able to poke Jill's butt with the stylus.
I think you should mention few things: Sweet Home was inspired by other well know classic Maniac Mansion. Biohazard ment to be a 1st person shooter but later changed to what we know know after Fugiwata saw and played Alone in the Dark. Vanilla version of RE1 is also known for one other thing, same as RE2 it does NOT have auto aim despite Biohazrad (jp ver) had that. Reason behind that was that in Japan you CAN'T rent a games, but in the US you can, and Capcom was afraid they will loose money because game was quite short and ppl who will rent it wont buy it after one playthrought. So they removed autoaim and even make game overall harder (harder enemies, less ammo). To this day I consider RE1 Vanilla to be THE hardest RE game in the series, I can say that >3h Chris in RE1 is harder then Chris Hard on Invisible enemies in RE Remake.
There is no link between Sweet Home and Maniac Mansion. Sweet Home was based on the J-horror movie also called Sweet Home. True that it was originally planned to be first-person perspective, but not a first-person shooter. It was planned to be a first-person horror remake of Sweet Home, like what RE7 became. But the PS1 hardware wasn't powerful enough to pull off fully 3D, first-person view with decent graphics. And then after discovering Alone in the Dark, they realized pre-rendered backdrops would be more suitable for the PS1.
Your voice is so beautiful and soothing. I could listen it forever. One teeny nitpick though: there's actually two different "Director's Cut" versions of RE1; the one called just that, with original OST and all intact, and the "Director's Cut: Dual Shock Edition", which is the one with the notorious new music and other issues. Yeah, all these re-releases can get very confusing. Unfortunate to us, the version of RE1 in the PSN Store is exactly that DC:DSE version, even though its title says just "Director's Cut".
I'd also like to pop in and say that the PC release of Resident Evil 1 is actually pretty decent if you can get it running on a modern system (preferably with a CRT as well). It has the least censorship in the cutscenes out of any US version...though for some reason the JP Saturn version is the one with the most gore. The saturn release also a very underrated version, featuring new enemies (albeit they are mostly reskins) and it has some sort of "battle mode" that I've never tried. The graphical changes are great but it just ends up looking slightly lower in color-depth compared to PS1. Anyway, just some tidbits on what the "good ports of original resi" might be.
The thing I find most impressive about Barry Burton is that, despite being in an advanced state of dementia and perpetually confused at all times ("WHAT IS THIS?"), he's still such a badass. I've never been so impressed with an Alzheimer's patient.
I'm still relatively new to Resident Evil as a series. I had played the original game as a kid at a friend's house, but didn't give the series a serious go until recently. I'm currently making my way through the original RE3 and UA-cam recommended me your channel once again. This time, I decided to click it and hear you out. I could tell you were smiling through most of the video and that you're really passionate about what you talk about. I was already on the verge of subscribing until I heard Eternity: Memory of Lightwaves for your outro. Consider me a new fan of yours. Great work.
Resident Evil is a franchise that has been solid for 22 years. There was not a single bad game in the main entries. Sure, there were hits and misses, and some people don't like the action-based Resi games, but they are all damn good and fun to play. Yes, even 6). And yeah, the Remake is the Resi King) It was so good that, about 10 years ago, I when I didn't have a Gamecube or Wii,I used an emulator to play it. And, despite numerous glitches and FPS drops (20 was considered a blessing), I couldn't stop playing it. Great video, looking forward to the rest of the series)
@Ur Waifu is Shit The Gamecube Remake begs to differ, along with Zero. And Resi 3 can be pretty tough if you're too trigger-happy in the beginning. So no, the only action RE games among the classics are Resi 2 and CV.
@Ur Waifu is Shit Action touch and full action games are different. The first Resi had plenty of these "action touches" as well, but it does not make it an action game like 4,5,6. And I've said that I'm talking about classic RE, before 4.
@Ur Waifu is Shit Fair enough, but I still think that if there is an emphasis on exploration and item managemen, you can't really tag a game as action. The ability to blast away at zombies was a reward for conserving ammo in the beginning and for your meticulous search for supplies. Try blasting away in the Remake on Hard, for example, and you'll be out of ammo in no time. Same goes for Resi 3. Try to create too many handgun bullets, and you won't be able to take down Drain Demons and Hunters. My point is, if you play it smart in the beginning, you'll be able to let off your steam by killing monsters. It's kinda like "Survival Horror" in the beginning and "Action Horror" halfway through. I guess we know these games too good, so they've become too easy for people like you and me)
Man, 6 is legitimately really cool and unique and I love a few things about its movement system; just give it a few tweaks and it would be very, very cool. The concept of this heavily interwoven story was very cool and pretty well executed. There are random issues that are pretty bad like questionable boss design with Simmons but as a game, it was really cool.
Eh no, resident evil 6 was a complete disgusting failure. Resident evil 5 only managed to scrape by because it was a genuinely fun game to play with a friend, Resident Evil 4 was the perfect inbetween for horror and action but still had a little goofy attitude about it. The older series aren't by any means perfect but they did shine more in certain aspects like, not being directly told what to do so you're required to explore to find out what's going on and how to advance the story, also because of the lack of control you had with the controls (lol) it only intensified the horror. Now when it comes to Resident evil 2 remake, it's just perfect it combines the horror of the originals with the newer (better imo) controls.
I just found you out of random chance, and your voice is genuinely one of the most soothing and pleasing ones I’ve ever heard. Can’t wait to listen to your entire retrospective on such an influential series.
So after Resident Evil 2 Remake, I hope Capcom remakes the original Dino Crisis and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Maybe remake Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4 too. Looks like they may be testing the waters to bring back Omnimusha next year too. Though it is a bit disappointing it's just a rerelease of the 1st game and not the entire trilogy or a full remake.
Genome Soldat I dont really think an RE4 Remake is necessary. It's already on modern consoles and the game is good enough how it already is. RE3 and CVX is worth remaking. Resident Evil 3 Nemesis because people who never got to play it will be able to play a polished version with better voice acting. Resident Evil Code Veronica X because the same thing, but also because they will have a chance to make Steve Burnside actually *LIKEABLE*
RE4 was made for GameCube, PS2, and originally a very terrible PC port. I think it getting a RE2 Remake in the RE7 engine would be awesome. Sure RE4 is on current consoles and pc, but it's not a full remake.
This video as a whole was perfect, I was liking every single detail of this work of yours, but, you really really got me in love with your content right at the end, hearing "Eternity- Memory of Lightwaves" in your outro basically told me I was in the perfect youtube channel for me. Thank you for this video, from the bottom of my heart, you just earned a loyal subscriber.
The creator of survival horror is still the best franchise of said genre today, now that REmake 2 will be out in 4 months, it will most likely retain it’s almost royal like status
Just a correction; the original Director's Cut release has the same soundtrack as the original. It's the DC Dual Shock edition released in 1998 that changed the soundtrack. Unfortunately, that's the version available on the PS3 store.
Great video, but I noticed a common misconception. The original director's cut actually has the original music, it's the dualshock version of the director's cut that has the silly basement theme.
I have found memories of this game as a kid. But my favorite was my dad decided to try it out, first time I seen him play video games, and the first zombie that attacked Kenneth. we told him to just run from it. He says "I run from nobody". this game will always be a classic
Just found your channel while I’m neck deep into my love of Resident Evil. I was a late bloomer getting into the series, only starting a few years ago for streams, and I’ve immediately fallen in love with the series. Watching this just solidifies why this is one of my favorite game series and I subscribed the second I heard your calming voice narrating. This video is amazing and I can’t wait to watch more.
Resident Evil 1 will always hold a special place in my heart - it was the source of the first nightmare I ever had in my life. I watched the scene in the beginning where you run into the first zombie of the game and see it eating some gray matter and could not stop shaking the rest of the day. Great stuff!
Your insights are so full of passion that I wanted to replay the first chapter. I recently replayed 2, 3 and Code Veronica on the Dreamcast, I do it every few years, together with Dino Crisis but I haven't touched the first one since I was a child. Long story short, I'm doing it right now on a Sega Saturn that I bought in 2009 along with Resident Evil when I was working in London for Square Enix. I must say that I'm happy of this choice, it's nice to go back where it all began. My interest in the series began to wane with RE 4 to die definitively with RE 5 but thanks to the remakes it returned. I can't wait for the Code Veronica one to come out, not only to play it but also to watch your video about it. Greetings from Italy!
Oh... my God. I never knew you could wait for Barry to return. In games it seems that these kind of sequences are not really choice based, I always saw it as "It will take too long for him to find another rope, move along on your own." type of thing. Dang, that's actually really cool!
"People say tank controls and fix camera angles are clunky and a little bit outdated... but I really like both the mechanics, they really work together" Finally someone said it :D
This was a great summary of RE1. RE1 was my intro to survival horror and I remember playing the old long box version for months as a kid. It's because of this game that I am the huge fan of survival horror games that I am today. Awesome video!
Omg you used one of my alltime fav songs from FfX2!! Eternity memory of lightwaves! That alone deserves a subsription. Plus I am in the minority that I absolutely love RE6 :) Watching and listening your videos while working and your voice is just so soothing. Would love to see you for real :)
And ehhh... Chris's scenario being "harder" depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Are you trying to beat the game as fast as possible, saving willy nilly? Then yes, Jill's scenario is easier. Are you trying to do what I did the first time I played the game and actually SURVIVE, playing the game with continuity? Then you get a lot farther with Chris. Everything takes longer, but he just has so much crucial extra health, not to mention I have heard he critical hits with most guns and knives more often, which seemed to be true in my experience. In Chris's scenario I lived all the way until I emerged from the basement and was ambushed by two hunters in the hallway in the awkward zone where I sort of had too much health to waste a healing item but not enough to survive. When I played through the second time but with Jill, I died in the first encounter with Yawn. Full health too. I think Chris can take two bites before he needs to heal, Jill only took one and I got surprised that second time around and got swallowed up.
"What is this?" (Barry walking into mansion) is a line I wish I could use with my family. But none of them are even familiar with these games. So, I just have to throw Star Wars and Star Trek lines around instead.
I love that George Romero vibe that the game has, we already know that Romero's filmography was important when creating this game (and Shinji managed to give it his personality). In "Diary of The Dead 2007" at the end the characters go to a Mansion and Romero uses the Security Cameras for the plans and give it that "Documentary" style and feels like a reference to RE, the Mansion, The Fixed Cameras, The Zombies ... all very Resident Evil but it is still a Romero movie. Use the Translator since my English is very good for understanding what listening or reading consists of, but I am very bad at speaking or writing it (since I can't find how to use the words😅).
When I was a kid I was playing the original 96’ Resident Evil with an unlimited health cheat on (I’m not even sure how, I was 10 and I think my friend owned the game on pc) and I basically got sandwiched between the zombies at 3:46, one would bite me and soon as he let go the other was biting me, Jill wouldn’t push either one far enough back to give me space to escape, i let it go on for about 10 minutes to get a laugh and show my brother, then I just gave up and reloaded the game. Also I love your comment about the Tyrant “going down without a fight” in the first tussle, as the only reason I was able to defeat him was another glitch, I never had any ammo left when I would get to the end, one grenade round, couple handgun shots and my knife, after depleting my ammo the Tyrant would usually just chase me around until he killed me, until one attempt the Tyrant got stuck on Wesker’s dead body, literally stuck, couldn’t move, like he was frozen, so I just ran up and easily knifed him to death, I couldn’t believe it, that was my first time ever actually beating the game.
I love how Chris, after all the horrors of the mansions, literally laughs in Wesker's face and Wesker's like "dude, stop it. You're making me feel stupid" 😂
I'm super serial!
this part is so funny xD
That and Jill's "That's why having S.T.A.R.S snooping around is SO inconvient" sounding like a female villian from a 50's B movie
Wesker really wants people to think that he is cool. That is why he wears sunglasses at night. But Chris is having none of it. So he zeroes in on what Wesker doesn't like about himself and strikes straight and true.
@@Sewblon The best way to infuriate someone with a big ego is just not taking them seriously, Chris knew that.
"Oh Jill! This house is *DANGEROUS* there are terrible DEMONS, *OUCH* "
Those dialouges....
"Yeah, Richard, no shit" 😂😂
Guy's slowly bleeding out but talking like someone just roughly bumped his shoulder.
"My wife, Jill Valentine..."
Get in line.

Yeah... We all know Chris is best partner material...
@@decadentgamer3108 who is this "we"? i dont recognize chris for anything other than a mass of muscles

19:29 honestly this is my favorite moment from any RE game. Like Wesker wants to be taken seriously so badly, but Chris is near his breaking point and hearing this ridiculous shit finally just makes him snap, but weaker wanted to monologue.. is this why he has such a grudge against them? When he tells Claire "I despise Chris!" In CV I just think of this scene playing in his head
Wesker: "When I grow up I'm gonna be a mad scientist."
Wesker's Mom: "No!"
Wesker: "Why not?"
Wesker's Mom: "They're all gonna laugh at you!"
Man I haven't seen this reference in a freaking long time!
What till you make G-virus, then they take you serious.
Oh, I thought it might have been a DOOM: Repercussions of Evil, reference
Then his victims laughing at him causes the screen to split?
Wesker in RE5: WHO LAUGH NOW MOM!?
Chris laughing in Wesker’s face is too funny, man. Wesker’s VA delivered those lines both terribly and perfectly.
“Wesker. You’re pitiful.”
I'm almost certain the lines here were all recorded by each person individually without listening to each other. IIRC, some lines, like the Barry Grenade Launcher line were recorded without even knowing full details of the game, in this case what the weapon was, hence the extremely generic "Powerful Weapon". It's probably why conversations don't flow.
Also note that the pregnant pauses in the original ps1 are because they are individually loading lines to play. These pauses don't exist on PC.

Well that’s just great Barry cuz all I’m fighting are not living things.
Here's a brief history behind the director's cut soundtrack:

And Takashi Niigaki is known as one of the best composers in Japanese history.
I feel like this raises more questions than it answers ._.
Faking his disability in that day and age haha! Come to think of it, looking at the world now he's quite the visionary!
I love watching the ending with Rebecca, seeing the poor kid sleeping is so damn adorable
My favorite Barry line has gotta be "Who's the master of unlocking, now!?"

I do think Resident Evil as franchise itself really is the foundation of how games are now. Resident Evil 1-4 gave birth to how survival horror should be, how action games should be, and how third person shooter should be. Without RE 1 - 4 there will be no Devil May Cry, Dead Space, Silent Hill, Uncharted, The Last Of Us, and many more games.
Resident Evil 4? Survival Horror? Hahahaha!
He said Action Games and Third Person Shooters too, don't be so smug.
It's still Survival Horror to me the case of RE 4
Lol 4 a survival horror, we got a kings of comedy contender
U mean without RE 0-4
ah the parasite eve ost in the background 10/10
I was thinking the same thing. Now I want to play it again. Lol
“My wife.”That was awesome 😂😂😂.
Surely Jill is one of most loved character in video games.I found the game easier with Chris the first time, Jill's low HP made me curse so much in this game.
Do you think the "He is such a fraidy cat. He'll know what's scary!" Idea devolved into just seeing if they could make him scream sometimes? Like they get bored and go to him to ask "Hey man, what do you think of this?" And BOOM! Dogs busting through the window.
I only bought the GameCube for the remake of resident evil back in 2002.
It’s crazy to think that the remaster of the remake looks phenomenal. The RE remake has aged incredibly well.
I bought a dreamcast just to play code veronica cos it was "dreamcast exclusive" only for it to come out on ps2 later lol then I bought a gamecube cos of the resident evil remake
19:30 It really comes off like Wesker was concerned for Chris in that moment like he was saying "Hey man are you ok?" like that's how bad but also amazing this voice acting is.
Chris looking directly at Rebecca
“Is that you, Rebecca?”
Great retrospective, this game brings back so many good memories. To me, the best version of the classic RE 1 is RE DS, I love all the little extras they added, like the awesome knife mode or silly details like being able to poke Jill's butt with the stylus.
Your voice is amazing, never stop doimg this!
Your voice helps me sleep, it’s so soft. Please do longer vids we’ll all watch deffo :)
I think you should mention few things:
Sweet Home was inspired by other well know classic Maniac Mansion.
Biohazard ment to be a 1st person shooter but later changed to what we know know after Fugiwata saw and played Alone in the Dark.
Vanilla version of RE1 is also known for one other thing, same as RE2 it does NOT have auto aim despite Biohazrad (jp ver) had that. Reason behind that was that in Japan you CAN'T rent a games, but in the US you can, and Capcom was afraid they will loose money because game was quite short and ppl who will rent it wont buy it after one playthrought. So they removed autoaim and even make game overall harder (harder enemies, less ammo). To this day I consider RE1 Vanilla to be THE hardest RE game in the series, I can say that >3h Chris in RE1 is harder then Chris Hard on Invisible enemies in RE Remake.
There is no link between Sweet Home and Maniac Mansion. Sweet Home was based on the J-horror movie also called Sweet Home.
True that it was originally planned to be first-person perspective, but not a first-person shooter. It was planned to be a first-person horror remake of Sweet Home, like what RE7 became. But the PS1 hardware wasn't powerful enough to pull off fully 3D, first-person view with decent graphics. And then after discovering Alone in the Dark, they realized pre-rendered backdrops would be more suitable for the PS1.
Holy shit! I never knew you could actually wait for Barry to bring the rope back!
Me either, kinda excited to play again just to sit and wait for that rope.
Your voice is so beautiful and soothing. I could listen it forever.
One teeny nitpick though: there's actually two different "Director's Cut" versions of RE1; the one called just that, with original OST and all intact, and the "Director's Cut: Dual Shock Edition", which is the one with the notorious new music and other issues.
Yeah, all these re-releases can get very confusing. Unfortunate to us, the version of RE1 in the PSN Store is exactly that DC:DSE version, even though its title says just "Director's Cut".
Came here to make the same silly correction, but cheers for the extra information about the PSN version.
I'd also like to pop in and say that the PC release of Resident Evil 1 is actually pretty decent if you can get it running on a modern system (preferably with a CRT as well). It has the least censorship in the cutscenes out of any US version...though for some reason the JP Saturn version is the one with the most gore. The saturn release also a very underrated version, featuring new enemies (albeit they are mostly reskins) and it has some sort of "battle mode" that I've never tried. The graphical changes are great but it just ends up looking slightly lower in color-depth compared to PS1. Anyway, just some tidbits on what the "good ports of original resi" might be.
The thing I find most impressive about Barry Burton is that, despite being in an advanced state of dementia and perpetually confused at all times ("WHAT IS THIS?"), he's still such a badass. I've never been so impressed with an Alzheimer's patient.
The Parasite Eve soundtrack
I thought it was just me lol
Damon Palacios hell no, man. Love that soundtrack!
"Or my wife, Jill Valentine." I CHOKED
A fellow weird name user, cool
I love your content, it’s so cool to know you seem to love Resident Evil and Final Fantasy as much as I seem too. Great retrospective!
I'm still relatively new to Resident Evil as a series. I had played the original game as a kid at a friend's house, but didn't give the series a serious go until recently. I'm currently making my way through the original RE3 and UA-cam recommended me your channel once again. This time, I decided to click it and hear you out. I could tell you were smiling through most of the video and that you're really passionate about what you talk about. I was already on the verge of subscribing until I heard Eternity: Memory of Lightwaves for your outro. Consider me a new fan of yours. Great work.
Oh my god, Chris AND Wesker with the trumpets at the end. I enjoyed it way more than I should have hahaha
Barry: “What? W H A T I S T H I S?“
Resident Evil is a franchise that has been solid for 22 years. There was not a single bad game in the main entries. Sure, there were hits and misses, and some people don't like the action-based Resi games, but they are all damn good and fun to play. Yes, even 6).
And yeah, the Remake is the Resi King) It was so good that, about 10 years ago, I when I didn't have a Gamecube or Wii,I used an emulator to play it. And, despite numerous glitches and FPS drops (20 was considered a blessing), I couldn't stop playing it. Great video, looking forward to the rest of the series)
@Ur Waifu is Shit The Gamecube Remake begs to differ, along with Zero. And Resi 3 can be pretty tough if you're too trigger-happy in the beginning. So no, the only action RE games among the classics are Resi 2 and CV.
@Ur Waifu is Shit Action touch and full action games are different. The first Resi had plenty of these "action touches" as well, but it does not make it an action game like 4,5,6. And I've said that I'm talking about classic RE, before 4.
@Ur Waifu is Shit Fair enough, but I still think that if there is an emphasis on exploration and item managemen, you can't really tag a game as action. The ability to blast away at zombies was a reward for conserving ammo in the beginning and for your meticulous search for supplies. Try blasting away in the Remake on Hard, for example, and you'll be out of ammo in no time. Same goes for Resi 3. Try to create too many handgun bullets, and you won't be able to take down Drain Demons and Hunters. My point is, if you play it smart in the beginning, you'll be able to let off your steam by killing monsters. It's kinda like "Survival Horror" in the beginning and "Action Horror" halfway through.
I guess we know these games too good, so they've become too easy for people like you and me)
Man, 6 is legitimately really cool and unique and I love a few things about its movement system; just give it a few tweaks and it would be very, very cool.
The concept of this heavily interwoven story was very cool and pretty well executed. There are random issues that are pretty bad like questionable boss design with Simmons but as a game, it was really cool.
Eh no, resident evil 6 was a complete disgusting failure. Resident evil 5 only managed to scrape by because it was a genuinely fun game to play with a friend, Resident Evil 4 was the perfect inbetween for horror and action but still had a little goofy attitude about it. The older series aren't by any means perfect but they did shine more in certain aspects like, not being directly told what to do so you're required to explore to find out what's going on and how to advance the story, also because of the lack of control you had with the controls (lol) it only intensified the horror. Now when it comes to Resident evil 2 remake, it's just perfect it combines the horror of the originals with the newer (better imo) controls.
I just found you out of random chance, and your voice is genuinely one of the most soothing and pleasing ones I’ve ever heard. Can’t wait to listen to your entire retrospective on such an influential series.
So after Resident Evil 2 Remake, I hope Capcom remakes the original Dino Crisis and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Maybe remake Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4 too.
Looks like they may be testing the waters to bring back Omnimusha next year too. Though it is a bit disappointing it's just a rerelease of the 1st game and not the entire trilogy or a full remake.
Genome Soldat I dont really think an RE4 Remake is necessary. It's already on modern consoles and the game is good enough how it already is. RE3 and CVX is worth remaking. Resident Evil 3 Nemesis because people who never got to play it will be able to play a polished version with better voice acting. Resident Evil Code Veronica X because the same thing, but also because they will have a chance to make Steve Burnside actually *LIKEABLE*
RE4 was made for GameCube, PS2, and originally a very terrible PC port. I think it getting a RE2 Remake in the RE7 engine would be awesome.
Sure RE4 is on current consoles and pc, but it's not a full remake.
If so, I hope they take out those stupid coins that fly out of the crows in RE 4
If they make nemisis remaster i want the original voices as dlc or unlockable content because that shit was amazing.
4 doesn’t need one.
"I hope this is not Chris's blood, *struggles not to laugh* HEH-WHAT IS IT?!"
Kills me, straight kills me
Best way to play this game on the DS with Resident Evil: Deadly Silence on Rebirth Mode for sure.
This video as a whole was perfect, I was liking every single detail of this work of yours, but, you really really got me in love with your content right at the end, hearing "Eternity- Memory of Lightwaves" in your outro basically told me I was in the perfect youtube channel for me. Thank you for this video, from the bottom of my heart, you just earned a loyal subscriber.
thanks for the name of the outro song, do you happen to know what's the one that sounds in he conclusion secion?
Shout-outs to Goof Troop
"It's Captain Wesker!"
A delivery worthy of a role in the game. :)
The creator of survival horror is still the best franchise of said genre today, now that REmake 2 will be out in 4 months, it will most likely retain it’s almost royal like status
Just a correction; the original Director's Cut release has the same soundtrack as the original. It's the DC Dual Shock edition released in 1998 that changed the soundtrack. Unfortunately, that's the version available on the PS3 store.
This voice is pure awesomeness
"Confidently confused" - this describes my whole career up to this point...
Everything about this video just makes me have that warm fuzzy feeling :,) . Amazing content. Looking forward to more. Thank you for this
Great video, but I noticed a common misconception. The original director's cut actually has the original music, it's the dualshock version of the director's cut that has the silly basement theme.
Wesker: the ultimate lifeform shadow!!!
Jill/Chris: wait what?
*shadows theme intensifies along with edgy jokes
With all the wacky Mr x mods in re 2 remake such as Thomas the tank engine I need Shadow in place of tyrant here ASAP! LOL
I have found memories of this game as a kid. But my favorite was my dad decided to try it out, first time I seen him play video games, and the first zombie that attacked Kenneth. we told him to just run from it. He says "I run from nobody". this game will always be a classic
I love your voice I just subscribed and I would love you to be the voice over commentary of my life
Just found your channel while I’m neck deep into my love of Resident Evil. I was a late bloomer getting into the series, only starting a few years ago for streams, and I’ve immediately fallen in love with the series. Watching this just solidifies why this is one of my favorite game series and I subscribed the second I heard your calming voice narrating. This video is amazing and I can’t wait to watch more.
Avalanche Reviews is doing a RE retrospective and now you.
LET'S GOOOOOOOO!
Resident Evil 1 will always hold a special place in my heart - it was the source of the first nightmare I ever had in my life. I watched the scene in the beginning where you run into the first zombie of the game and see it eating some gray matter and could not stop shaking the rest of the day. Great stuff!
Two Highlight quotes for me...
“You could say we got to the root of the problem.” - Chris
“WHaT! OOOOOOoooooo Nooooo” - Rebecca
Your insights are so full of passion that I wanted to replay the first chapter. I recently replayed 2, 3 and Code Veronica on the Dreamcast, I do it every few years, together with Dino Crisis but I haven't touched the first one since I was a child. Long story short, I'm doing it right now on a Sega Saturn that I bought in 2009 along with Resident Evil when I was working in London for Square Enix. I must say that I'm happy of this choice, it's nice to go back where it all began. My interest in the series began to wane with RE 4 to die definitively with RE 5 but thanks to the remakes it returned. I can't wait for the Code Veronica one to come out, not only to play it but also to watch your video about it. Greetings from Italy!
Jill is best RE woman
FreedomHero4 STOP IT DUDE, it’s my wife ada. Put some respek on her name.
I legit think I am the only one who likes Rebecca Chambers the most.
Oh well
Opinionsss
Darkthz ? Broo you can keep Rebecca, she’s cute and all but you’re gonna eff around and catch a case.
NinjaSlayer996
She's legal tho :P
Darkthz ? Aww dang she is? That’s tuff mah dude.
Cool retrospective. I never get sick of watching different people's takes on this classic series.
I like how you used the Parasite Eve soundtrack on this one. "I'm a huge Capcom horror fan"
Oh... my God. I never knew you could wait for Barry to return. In games it seems that these kind of sequences are not really choice based, I always saw it as "It will take too long for him to find another rope, move along on your own." type of thing. Dang, that's actually really cool!
"People say tank controls and fix camera angles are clunky and a little bit outdated... but I really like both the mechanics, they really work together"
Finally someone said it :D
This was a great summary of RE1. RE1 was my intro to survival horror and I remember playing the old long box version for months as a kid. It's because of this game that I am the huge fan of survival horror games that I am today. Awesome video!
Jill is bae
Sherry is bae (re 6)
Man, their designs have changed so much over the years. Been so long since this classic came out. Brings back memories
My personal favourite Barry moment is when you find the body of Forrest out on the balcony. Barry: "It's Forrest! Oho my COD!" 😂
"I can't believe"
Omg you used one of my alltime fav songs from FfX2!! Eternity memory of lightwaves!
That alone deserves a subsription.
Plus I am in the minority that I absolutely love RE6 :)
Watching and listening your videos while working and your voice is just so soothing.
Would love to see you for real :)
And ehhh... Chris's scenario being "harder" depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Are you trying to beat the game as fast as possible, saving willy nilly? Then yes, Jill's scenario is easier. Are you trying to do what I did the first time I played the game and actually SURVIVE, playing the game with continuity? Then you get a lot farther with Chris. Everything takes longer, but he just has so much crucial extra health, not to mention I have heard he critical hits with most guns and knives more often, which seemed to be true in my experience.
In Chris's scenario I lived all the way until I emerged from the basement and was ambushed by two hunters in the hallway in the awkward zone where I sort of had too much health to waste a healing item but not enough to survive.
When I played through the second time but with Jill, I died in the first encounter with Yawn. Full health too. I think Chris can take two bites before he needs to heal, Jill only took one and I got surprised that second time around and got swallowed up.
Ended up here from Under the Mayo, and let me say I’m already a fan now! And also I LOVE the art for your channel!
"What is this?" (Barry walking into mansion) is a line I wish I could use with my family. But none of them are even familiar with these games. So, I just have to throw Star Wars and Star Trek lines around instead.
I keep comming back to these RE videos. I like to listen to them while I'm working.
Lol Barry should have his own show: The Barry show
I love that George Romero vibe that the game has, we already know that Romero's filmography was important when creating this game (and Shinji managed to give it his personality). In "Diary of The Dead 2007" at the end the characters go to a Mansion and Romero uses the Security Cameras for the plans and give it that "Documentary" style and feels like a reference to RE, the Mansion, The Fixed Cameras, The Zombies ... all very Resident Evil but it is still a Romero movie.
Use the Translator since my English is very good for understanding what listening or reading consists of, but I am very bad at speaking or writing it (since I can't find how to use the words😅).
*Chris Laughs*
Wesker: Chris?, Stop it!... Dont make fun of me >:'c
i love how pathetic is wesker in resident evil xD
When I was a kid I was playing the original 96’ Resident Evil with an unlimited health cheat on (I’m not even sure how, I was 10 and I think my friend owned the game on pc) and I basically got sandwiched between the zombies at 3:46, one would bite me and soon as he let go the other was biting me, Jill wouldn’t push either one far enough back to give me space to escape, i let it go on for about 10 minutes to get a laugh and show my brother, then I just gave up and reloaded the game.
Also I love your comment about the Tyrant “going down without a fight” in the first tussle, as the only reason I was able to defeat him was another glitch, I never had any ammo left when I would get to the end, one grenade round, couple handgun shots and my knife, after depleting my ammo the Tyrant would usually just chase me around until he killed me, until one attempt the Tyrant got stuck on Wesker’s dead body, literally stuck, couldn’t move, like he was frozen, so I just ran up and easily knifed him to death, I couldn’t believe it, that was my first time ever actually beating the game.
