My Spanish teacher was also a huge RE fan. He said in Spanish that his favourite character was Leon Kennedy so I put my hand up and said that Claire didn't get enough love. My GCSEs (important exams) were in 2020 so when i did my trial speaking exam, he spent my entire prep time talking about the upcoming RE3make. I ended up completely flopping and in a later class he asked to see me outside where he apologised for distracting me and said he wouldn't do that in the future. It was kind of funny but I appreciate he felt bad. He was actually a pretty good teacher icl
My very first playthrough of this game (I started with Claire first, cause she's my girl) I somehow ended up entering a room just as Mr. X was leaving through a different door, which was the door I needed to go through...I cannot tell you just how terrified I was creeping slowly behind him in order to not get caught. Somehow I made it to the area I needed to be, but those few minutes of trailing behind Mr. X were heart pounding.
On my first Claire playthrough, I was in the linen room and as I was leaving, Mr. X was right there. I was instantly punched right back into the room. Miraculously, I actually did survive and escape the room but I SHOOK
@@ZETA_FOXMr. X was honestly the most terrifying part of that game. I spent a good portion of my first playthrough hiding in the clock tower (since it was a safe area) and just taking potshots at the zombies around, trying to clear the way. And every few minutes, he would show up, and right back into the clock tower I went.
@LadySnowstorm as much as I love Mr X, I think Birkin should have filled that role in Claires run, especially as he is killed in Claires story but still shows up later for Leon.
@emmiebunny04 I mean I'm definitely glad Mr. X is around cause God he's terrifying and definitely had a bigger role from the OG, but you are right about Birkin having a bigger role in Claire's story, he definitely was a boss guy fought every once in a while....he definitely should have showed up more
At 15:05, you mention that in the original, you had to burn the bodies to avoid Crimson Heads, but Crimson Heads only made an actual appearance in the Resident Evil 1 Remake.
I also played RE4 Remake first, going to this afterwards I kept having to stop myself wasting ammo since enemies are not just gonna drop more supplies when you kill them.
I love how this is one of the rare zombie games w double tap if i had the bullets for an enemy I just killed I would always give them i few extra on the ground to put them out for good make it so much easier in the end and lot less jump scares lmao but it’s a great feature
This game really did make a single zombie feel like a huge threat again And after so many years of zombie games, where you mow down hundreds of them with ease
William's face is on every G mutation he's in. It's obvious in the first 2 where it is, its on his lower left hand side of his torso in G3, inconclusive in G4, but its there somewhere, and in G5, its on one of the massive blobs that come for you
I started playing Resident Evil with 7 but this was the game that truly got me into the series. The amount of times I played both routes. I just love it so much!
7:20 the space in Welcome is also a little easter egg from the original. The translation was off and they spelled it Wellcome. And the other L is actually laying on one of the desks if you check them
Loved this game played it so much i was able to navigate it perfectly while drunk with some friends one night lol! Love your vids man keep up the positivity we kinda need more of it for games tbh everyone feels super critical now.
One of my favorite RE games. Possibly Top 3. My one and only issue with this game is… the separate scenarios don’t feel that different from one other. If you play it canonically, I’m pretty sure Claire is supposed to be ahead of Leon in terms of story beats, so I was expecting Claire A and Leon B to be very different than just a altered beginning section to the RPD and a few elements happening earlier. Other than that, fantastic game. Capcom really nailed the survival horror of RE2 with the stunning visuals and lighting and graphics and everything. I also really enjoy Leon’s redesign of his RPD outfit. Doesn’t take away from the original too much but also modernizes it to make it look like what a officer would wear today.
Yeh so I'm not the only one that noticed timing is weird in this game, I'm not shitting on the game its great but to many people suck this game off and never speak about the few issues it has.
@@teejm1ck78 I felt like if they didn't want Leon and Claire to meet up then give them separate keys that has access to separate parts of the station. Make it clear who's story is first, have Leon deal with MrX while Claire deals with Birkin only maybe having the monsters crossover once for whatever reason.
@@KonEl17 yeah that prolly would’ve been a budget concern. They probably started running out of time to make the scenarios different from one another. Still a very enjoyable experience.
i love the door unlock animations 12:08 for real the tyrant theme is the worst in the best way (hello anxiety) yeah Irons va is the best and well you asked but I have everything done on RE2 with mouse and keyboard i have all the speedruns all the tofu survivors all the ghost survivors (inluding no way out with under 60 bullets- that was a hard to do but i got it) and i do still like the game I just wish hardcore mode had a different layout with things like in RE7 madhouse you had to find more antique coins as to buy more things, some items were in different places and so were enemies that were also stronger (RE3R Nightmare had the same thing enemies in different places and some items not being where they used to be and inferno was all that i just mentioned along with less typewriters to save at)
I’d love to see you go through the Devil May Cry games. Their shared history with Resident Evil is super interesting and they’re just fun games in general
I feel like the roar in the sewer when Ada gets hurt is the nemesis hunting Jill. It just sounds really similar and it takes place in the same time frame.
Resident Evil 2 original and remake are still my main favorites in the series, and i still enjoy them like it is my first time but with a muscle memory of remembering how to play it.
It's a small thing, but I'm always amazed by Marvin's mo-cap and facial animations. He might still be the most realistic videogame character I've ever seen.
Now this was an extremely pleasant surprise. I haven’t been able to start playing this game but I can from the playthrough s I’ve seen that this is a great game. Also if anyone tries adapting resident evil to film, I extremely recommend that they use these re remakes as blueprints.
I still get goosebumps when I hear X's theme and I continuously say to myself, "FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK (plus many more times of saying "FUCK" on repeat)
I love the resident evil series old and new cheesy campy yet still terrifying to play through with re2 being one my absolute favs with 4 being a real close second
As someone who didn’t get to play the originals of 3-5 I’m actually thankful for the remakes. I get to enjoy the games so many others have had the pleasure of playing.
What would have made the REmakes perfect, in my opinion, would have been to add a first-person option like the did after RE village DLC launched with the third person option in it
Played this game after RE4R - which was my first entry to the series. While I like RE4R more, being more action oriented, I think RE2 is a great puzzle action game. I would've liked more if the zombies were not such bullet sponges, but I suppose it's to be close to the original.
RE 2 Remake. One of the remakes of all time. If you haven't played it and a fan of the original or even Resident Evil games. Hell...just GAMES in general. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't be disappointed...
Could be wrong as I haven't played re2 in years but the reason birkin saved sherry wasn't parental instincts it was because the virus spreads best when it's with people with the same DNA (paraphrasing obvs but it's something like that)
Just got this on PS5 and I must say,after years of the series being more of an action/horror game..I haven't been anxious since I got the original for my bday in 1998! This game is intense 😂 I really missed playing survival horror!
The main downside to this game is the utter lack of narrative consistency and how rushed the B scenarios were developed because nothing fits together. I wish they gave as much care for the story as they did with the gameplay.
It’s uh, funny how you talked about William Birkin defending his daughter if you know what he was actually trying to do to her (and did). I think this version of RE2 only implies it in a file, but… yeahhh, if you know, you know 😬
Win #3 - I would disagree with you saying the radio host sounds like Alex Jones. Jones would probably believe the guy's story and break out into conspiracy theories that may or may not include Umbrella. To me, the radio host sounded very skeptical - almost had a mean cocky attitude when dealing with the guy who called in... he definitely gives me more of a Howard Stern vibe than anything else. Heck, even the voice actor sounds like Howard Stern
The gore and damage effects on re2 remake is so much better than re3 and re4, rather than blowing chunks of head and flesh away it just adds a red colour effect over the character model.
5:34 I feel like this should only be half a win Because Leon’s classic outfit is best for beat 100% flawless and as it was in the original Claire’s tho, it looks terrible without her black turtleneck and gloves that she wore which is why I stick with her redesign outfit and classic Leon, it feels a bit more genuine that way and the tank top does look good with her redesign just not with the classic outfit and I don’t get why they didn’t make that change It’s literally one of the only things that triggers me, that and no proper A and B scenarios, and it being more like resi 1 where they fight the same bosses when they shouldn’t
Honestly I wonder if they're going to do a double remake with the Resident evil 1 remake maybe calling a Resident evil 1 remake remastered instead considering we do have both a remake of one and a director's cut of won the only other way to differentiate it is to call it a remaster
I know what I'm about to say doesn't have anything to do with the game and nobody will prolly read this. But, those Raycon Everyday Earbuds are awesome. I bought a pair like a yr ago and kinda wish I'd bought them sooner. I use them to listen to audio books and creepy pastas. They're comfortable, fit perfectly, and the sound quality is top notch and like they said, affordable. Funny thing is I actually bought them because of a UA-camr, can't remember which 😅 but glad I did. Would definitely recommend them to everyone.
Span of 6 hours? For me only happened in 1 hour 45 minutes! Damn you Ada, speedruns are hard enough but do you got to keep breaking my heart during them? 😭😭 Nah for real though this was the RE game that made me to try actual speedruns in the series. It's so fun just going through over and over again learning pathing. Learning which zombies to take out and which to ignore (KILL THE LIBRARY ZOMBIES!!!) and what items are always necessary (ignore the magnum and SMG they're not worth the backtrack handgun carries). Since then I've done Speedruns for RE3 remake and still practicing for RE4 current best 4 hours 12 minutes. Been trying so hard to get under 4 without any kind of infinite ammo or anything.
I really liked RE2 and RE3 but the amount of content cut vs the original game is just unacceptable. Scenarios in RE2 actually had slightly different stories but in remake both the stories are just character swaps. And RE3 is even worse. All the Nemesis encounters were scripted unlike in the original game. At least they understood their mistake and did RE4 remake really well.

This was the first game I platinumed and I loved every single minute of gameplay. Still play it every now and then.
Holy crap my guy. I thought the platinum on RE5 was hard. I'm not getting this one
My very first playthrough of this game (I started with Claire first, cause she's my girl) I somehow ended up entering a room just as Mr. X was leaving through a different door, which was the door I needed to go through...I cannot tell you just how terrified I was creeping slowly behind him in order to not get caught.

I dig the color grading as a method to censor the gore and goo. Looks super weird so it still maintains a degree of unnerving appearance.
Oh that's what that was??? That's crazy smart
And also the color grading the red blood and gore to pink made me flashback to my Danganronpa days lmao
"HOW DID SHE LIVE?!"
Earlier, he mentions currently playing RE4Remake Separate Ways with Ada gadgets, one being a hookshot you use quite often.
GamingWins covering one of the GOATS of remakes
At 15:05, you mention that in the original, you had to burn the bodies to avoid Crimson Heads, but Crimson Heads only made an actual appearance in the Resident Evil 1 Remake.
I also played RE4 Remake first, going to this afterwards I kept having to stop myself wasting ammo since enemies are not just gonna drop more supplies when you kill them.
If it wasn't for Spider-Men 2 coming out on Friday the RE4 remake would be my game of the year. It main game and Separate Ways dlc was so good.
I love how this is one of the rare zombie games w double tap if i had the bullets for an enemy I just killed I would always give them i few extra on the ground to put them out for good make it so much easier in the end and lot less jump scares lmao but it’s a great feature
This game really did make a single zombie feel like a huge threat again
And after so many years of zombie games, where you mow down hundreds of them with ease
William's face is on every G mutation he's in. It's obvious in the first 2 where it is, its on his lower left hand side of his torso in G3, inconclusive in G4, but its there somewhere, and in G5, its on one of the massive blobs that come for you
Never played RE but this video definitely made me want to try it out
Try it it’s really good one of my favorites
I never really played the originals but this game made me love the entire series! I would definitely look into it!
It’s worth it. Fantastic game.
you should! its on sale on steam
@Handsomeanthony68 the remakes were a disappointment
I started playing Resident Evil with 7 but this was the game that truly got me into the series. The amount of times I played both routes. I just love it so much!

@@KonEl17 they really don’t. Capcom could’ve had Leon B or hell Claire B start you off in the city and work your way towards RPD.

I always thought the bioweapon growl when Ada was pinned was Birkin in another area
i love the door unlock animations
12:08 for real the tyrant theme is the worst in the best way (hello anxiety)
yeah Irons va is the best
and well you asked but I have everything done on RE2 with mouse and keyboard i have all the speedruns all the tofu survivors all the ghost survivors (inluding no way out with under 60 bullets- that was a hard to do but i got it) and i do still like the game I just wish hardcore mode had a different layout with things like in RE7 madhouse you had to find more antique coins as to buy more things, some items were in different places and so were enemies that were also stronger (RE3R Nightmare had the same thing enemies in different places and some items not being where they used to be and inferno was all that i just mentioned along with less typewriters to save at)
16:08 anyone else get strong 10 Cloverfield Lane vibes from this part? Dude even looks a little like Howard.
Another day, another gaming wins video, another amazing day!
duuuuuude seriously what is that outro song, it fills my soul every time
I’d love to see you go through the Devil May Cry games. Their shared history with Resident Evil is super interesting and they’re just fun games in general

RIP to Ken Lally too man was amazing as smoke in mk9
Also he was the mocap for RE 5 Wesker . I didn’t know until his death was announced Unfortuently .
The head shake with the Rays in your ears has been the best advert I've seen for it yet lol that was awesome and I love the effort!

I prefer remake Kendo, his original was a bit creepy when you played Claire
5:24 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Goddamn, I love this line!!!
15:34 it's most likely Nemesis

What would have made the REmakes perfect, in my opinion, would have been to add a first-person option like the did after RE village DLC launched with the third person option in it
This is great. Keep doing this
After you did Resident Evil 4 I was hoping you’d do 2 and 3. Can’t wait to hear your opinions on Resident Evil 3!

5:04 ok you got me, I was , and still am simping, then again whose not
Excellent video!
I love this game so much, if I could go back and replay it, I would. Now I'm about 50+ runs deep, one of which made every enemy Mr X... never again.
That sounds incredible and terrifying, did you make it through the X gon give it to ya run?
15:56 they’re both clones of some big German boi, or something like that, all I know is, they’re clones of the same guy.
Ada's and Mr x look awesome in the noir filter.
Love this game and I *have* beaten the tofu survivor!
Although not the other ones lol
Re2 remake has 5 “tofu” runs lol
To think that Resident Evil as we know it now would not be the same without the success of Resident Evil VII and the RE Engine.
The crimson head thing was something added in the re1 remake not the original resident evil
RE 2 Remake. One of the remakes of all time. If you haven't played it and a fan of the original or even Resident Evil games. Hell...just GAMES in general. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't be disappointed...
Keeping my fingers crossed for an Onimusha remake ❤️
YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!
By the way dude nice ink I'm a guy that really appreciates tattoos considering I'm a person who can't really get one due to nerve problems
I platinumed the game, I was never happy finally beating Hunks mission
Could be wrong as I haven't played re2 in years but the reason birkin saved sherry wasn't parental instincts it was because the virus spreads best when it's with people with the same DNA (paraphrasing obvs but it's something like that)
Just got this on PS5 and I must say,after years of the series being more of an action/horror game..I haven't been anxious since I got the original for my bday in 1998! This game is intense 😂 I really missed playing survival horror!
if you wanna play RE6, play it expecting a over the top action game, youll get 200% more enjoyment. also will you cover the revelations games?
Still hope they remake Darkside Chronicles to revisit this with co-op Leon and Claire
That or Code Veronica
if there ever comes a day when this channel isn't uploading content, im done with yt.
The main downside to this game is the utter lack of narrative consistency and how rushed the B scenarios were developed because nothing fits together. I wish they gave as much care for the story as they did with the gameplay.
THANK YOU FOR THIS❤❤
I ship Leon and Claire, love this remake
I love this game.
I never do hardcore runs however. Too much frustration.
It’s uh, funny how you talked about William Birkin defending his daughter if you know what he was actually trying to do to her (and did). I think this version of RE2 only implies it in a file, but… yeahhh, if you know, you know 😬

8:54 Martin? :)
I humbly dissent from the fact that Capcom has become the best most respected developer e publisher in the industry
Did... did you just pull an IGN and not play Second Run!?
I loved the remake, It got me back into RE
The games I absolutely grew up on. Between this and the evil dead trilogy, it explains why I'm so fkd up mentally 😅
Hey man Q&A on YT when?
Please do an episode on DMC5

Okay… now that you referenced Father Gascoigne, you have to follow through with an EGA about Bloodborne. I don’t make the rules
God why is GW such a cutie
To recount other games because I would like it, if you did cyberpunk again with all the submissions
Unpopular opinion but ORC was a Guilty pleasure for me lol
Please do the OG RE4!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bro mixed danganronpa with re2 with just a change of colours. cool.
Hmm... It's weird that he did not included G5 in this video. Oh well😅
"They put PCP in the t virus" 😂😂😂
The game with Elza Walker was never actually called Resident Evil 1.5, it was called Resident Evil 2. 🤣🤣🤣
I really liked RE2 and RE3 but the amount of content cut vs the original game is just unacceptable. Scenarios in RE2 actually had slightly different stories but in remake both the stories are just character swaps. And RE3 is even worse. All the Nemesis encounters were scripted unlike in the original game. At least they understood their mistake and did RE4 remake really well.
Got a few games this month I’m hoping go on sale, this remake won’t one of them!
