      No worries, good vid! I fire one pretty regularly and seldom shut up about it, lol. The thought of it being used by the military gives the imagination a good jog for sure. IWI and IMI were essentially the same company, forget which was first, but it does give the impression that it would be a military weapon by the latter name.

      guess this was what the US government saw in him. a man who despite being Hungover was able to battle the undead. Save a wee girl from an exploding lab & get through all those stupid puzzles that make no real sense. Damn Leon must have superhuman strength to do that all with a hangover.

    I am trying my best not to bash RE2R but I have to mention that one of my favorite details in the original is how Claire asks Leon to save Cherry whist she "has a few loose ends to take care of". Watching him carry her in the elevator whilst Claire went off to fight Burkin gives such a great sense of duality and teamwork. You feel like there are two stories happening parallel to eachother.
    The remake doesn't feel like that at all and it kills me a little inside.

      Agreed and great on point so as to keep it short too, which is hard ...
      I learned to not even bother anymore, the remakes are such a mess, lacking etc overall pointless entity that instead of ranting about basically everything since both 3R and 2R have zero f__ks to do with the originals so as the lore itself that it's easier to say these two should not exist.
      Considering I never bought them, never even entertained the idea of so, same for the people I know, I am glad they never existed in my life and especially from now on they never will.
      PS1 OGs all the way, then there are the fan made remasters too so next to those two options that you can play on cheap devices or even on your home system, I couldn't care less for the other cashgrabs down the line.
      Basically we came to the point where Resident Evil franchise is spiritually and lore wise dead for more then 20 years so any nitpicking is pointless.

      @@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy Besides, the Remake games are their own timeline, and the original are their own timeline. The Original and remake has SO MANY internal contradictions that the only way they make sense is if they are their own timelines. THEREFORE, the last event in Original timeline is RE8 DLC. The last event in Remake timeline is RE4. As of this writing, Dead Aim, Survivor, Code Veronica, RE5, RE6 happened ONLY in the original timeline.

      I will just add that no, RE5, 6 whatever else isn't canon aka original timeline. They are spinoffs at best ... CV and even Revelations 2 is more of a canon then 5 and 6 for example ever be.
      You wasted your time with all that trying to put sense into it, since there is none present for a long time ... so just give up.
      Even if they manage to pull together a coherent great RE game again, the problem is in the game market itself, you don't own anything and it's online locked nickledimed garbage anyway. So no matter what you say or they say it's pointless.

    I discovered resident evil because I watched a friend of a friend play it at his house on GameCube. It was 4. I was so enthralled with the aesthetic and the way it threw you to the wolves fairly early… from that point at age 9, I didn’t play it until I was 12 on my PS2. I thought that game had me on edge and not sure where to turn next… I set up my ps2 and tv in my dads garage October of 2015 and popped in Leon A because I already knew him from 4 and next to Solid snake, he was my favorite video game character at the time. Boy was I absolutely baffled. I went in blind not knowing about fixed camera angles and having actual item boxes instead of the attaché case, etc ad noisome, as I went through the game drinking some of my dads beers and smoking a few of his cigarettes out of sheer anxiety for what situation I’d be faced with next, hoping he wouldn’t notice (he did lol)… I understand a lot of brothers from across the pond LOVE this game, particularly I listen to the project umbrella podcast going back through their panels on the old games and I just love the whole community.. the dedication to the old games, there just aren’t too many gaming groups like Resident Evil has these days for the sole spirit of the story and all the lore... Thank you for making this video and making me feel the need to share my story lol, regards from the Midwest, somewhere close to where I think raccoon city would be ❤️🇺🇸

    Kinda crazy that it's been 25 years since this game was released and learning more new info about it shows how much detail the devs at capcom have worked their butts off for this sequel. Despite the tech limitations back then they made a truly great game that is still playable today in my opinion, I wish more games are like this thats has great world building and story lore and has iconic cast of characters that we love and to sympathize. I'm always fascinated to the 90's-2000's era of video games especially horror like Silent Hill and Resident Evil ofcourse.

      This doesn't really makes sense since one core detail debunks this, which is the engraved logo on it is of a Racoon City Police Department and it's the same exact one you can find in the police station. Which suggests he got it in the mail as a welcome package from RCPD alongside the uniform and probably other items.
      Which further makes sense since his next gift was suppose to be a upgrade to his Matilda handgun upon the arrival party which is a more concrete gift then what he already got prior.
      Another key note, police officers around the world use to get all sorts of things and this lighter is essentially another tool someone in service would put up to use, not meant to be used solely by smokers. I know plenty of police officers who got all sorts of tools and benzin lighter being of them and they carry it all the time since it's a tool. But again other service people also have this so it's a universal thing really.

    Ben Bertolucci is my favorite NPC in the Resident Evil universe.
    Although we know his fate, it would be cool to possibly play as him in a sort of mod just like Kevin Ryman's "Here Comes the Storm" and as Marvin Brannagh.
    It would be cool to wander the streets of Raccoon City as Ben, before "The Storm" hits and gather information. Hell, you could even use the clip of that artwork sketch where you see Chris, Jill, Barry, and Brad badger the Chief Irons, while Ben is narrating the bizarre incident.

      @@velvetbutterfly What you remember was actually Berry Burton and his two daughters and his wife saying goodbye to each other then Berry saying that don't worry I will be fine, something along those lines, upon leaving for Raccoon City to help his comrades.
      Spoiler alert: Barry Burton is who fly the heli and saves Jill right before the nuke drops.
      Another character that some people seem to mix up is Dario Rosso who mentions his sick daughter being lost telling Jill to find her, however she was pretty much dead, at one point in the game a female zombie appears among gang of others which doesn't appear anywhere else in the game which suggests that must be her, also the description matches that zombie too. I can somewhat understand the mix up, due to two things, he is mentioning a sick missing daughter and his model honestly looks like a Kendo reskin ...
      Other then that Kendo shop and Kendo brothers characters itself are just a story tie in, both simply made weapons for the police and ran a weapon shop, that is all to it, even the name Kendo is a throw-in as it can be since Kendo is a Japanese matrial arts name XD (that is related to Kenjutsu), it's not an actual name.
      The added scene in 2R seems very forced and out of place, they cut and alter heavily so many things in 2R (so as 3R) that this feels like it was added just as last minute decision to be edgy-shock value more then anything. Looks like he being swarm by zombies wasn't enough ... and if there was more planned then they would actually flesh out more both of the brothers instead of wtf this ever is.

    I'm still looking for information about the MON MON Hotdog Stand which had connections with 3 games that I'm aware of.
    If wondering what games have MON MON Hotdog Stand connections well the best known is the original RE3 which had posters everywhere in the downtown area where one of them you can interact with as well the restaurant is in the game, the original RE2 has a billboard of the MON MON Hotdog Stand poster which is located in the background where the zombies eating before entering the bus but finding is difficult because once you get into place to see it the zombies will attack you giving you few seconds, and the last is RE3 where you get a unlockable knife call the HOTDOGGER which is a reference of MON MON Hotdog Stand from the original RE3 because why else would call that name if it didn't have a meaning to it.

    Claire says in DSC that Chris was missing for 3 months. But, according to what you have revealed, Chris was missing for 5 months. No one mentions how long Chris was missing for in CVX. So either Chris was missing for 3 months or 5 months, it can't be both at once lol.

Even the most cursory internet searches are chock full on information on it, and there's nothing you can do.

    Hello my friend, and I'm so sorry, for some reason, I keep catching things people seem to overlook... LOL :)
    OK, in Resident Evil 2 original, apparently if you check the desk opposite Chris's desk which has the medallion and his Diary, there is a picture that is assumed to be Jill's boyfriend by Leon and Claire.
    In the Japanaese version, is the word used to describe "boyfriend" 彼氏 or ボーイフレンド?
    I think it's the latter, but I just wanto to be sure. Interestingly, this picture was later changed to that of a dog..
    Considering they made a similar mistake translating the Japanese to English with Claire's description, I think this might be the same mistake here.
    Looking forward to your response my friend...

      And capcom turned him into a dog? LOL Was Wesker so jealous of others in his office who weren't single like him that he made a virus that turned Jill's lover into a dog? LOL.

    THE BENGAL DRAGON! THE DRAGON discovered that the HARD WAY!!! :)
    Why would a girl who is SUPPOSED to be (excuse my french) the BIGGEST HOE of Resident Evil never be shown to be flirting with ANYONE, even compared to women like Ada and Ashley (who are by comparisons, supposedly smaller hoes than Claire) and why would Claire NEVER be shown in any tpe of romantic relationship outside Code Veronica? Why would someone supposedly as promiscuous as the western perception of Claire be shown to be definitely not an atheist, so much so that she thinks her jacket with an angelic insignia is an AMULET? (The Japanese word used isn't Kami meaning God, or Megame meaning Goddess, it's OMAMORI meaning amulet) So claire says, "My AMULET protected you. It will always be with you." She was even shown praying at the end of Code Veronica..
    I also liked the touch of Code Veronica when you made that revelation. But come on my friend, a shout out would've been nice! Just kidding man.
    Anyways, as for Leon, his behavior of trying to flirt with many women, is consistent with what you mentioned. The drinking thing however... I mean there is RE Vendetta, so there might be some truth to it, but wasn't Chris also seen drinking in RE6 I think? Interestingly enough, of all the women, Leon never hits on Claire, indicating that either he views Claire as a younger sister, Claire is not his type, or both. And Like I mentioned, Leon only gets the women he doesn't want.
    For anyone else reading this (sorry for the self promotion) but if you haven't already, watch my video "The Original claire Redfield story everyone missed" and see how deep Claire's character is.
    FYI, I rewatched Degeneration after making that video, and.... oh boy.... I was shocked to discover... Claire's mental condition is even WORSE than what I presented in my video. More on that on my Degeneration review.
    Also, just a correction. in the canonical scenario (Claire A Leon B) Claire indeed says Leon's name in front of Sherry, and Sherry hears his voice. Over the radio, Claire says "Leon are you still there? We are leaving." to which Leon says "Are you Crazy... and so on." So yeah, Sherry knows who Leon is, coz she heard what he sounds like.
