Thanks for keeping the legacy alive. Can't believe friday we get to experience RE4 for the "first" time again. Insane
Same here, playing the demo it really did feel like the first time!
@@vincentoconnor5640 seriously? HAHAHAHHAHAAH I knew they were gonna f**k it up. Since even before the demo I was saying that is was gonna be shit
@@pavlejovan5557 you're the only one. it's got incredibly positive reviews from everyone who has played it, including huge RE fans. don't be such a fucking Gamer
@Vincent O'Connor they said they aren't removing content. And by reviewers, they removed some stuff and added other things in to replace. If you still don't like it you can still play the original re4
@@pavlejovan5557 nope, I dislike it too, hella inferior to the original and horrible casting all around for literally everyone
"Stranger, stranger... Now THAT is a fine guidebook you've got there!"
Man, even with this guidebook, we still find new details of this game! Mikami-san really made an absolute masterpiece that has aged like the finest of wines imaginable!
Thank you once again for another video and for showing the enemies and their details! Just in time for the RE4 Remake too! You truly never cease to amaze us! Looking forward to see what you've got in store for us! 💙
Lol this guidebook is a beast! This one is even bigger than the REmake one.
And yes, with the amount of details this video could have been hours long, but that would literally kill me haha.
I tried so hard to get it finished before the RE4 remake, it'll be cool to see how the monsters compare to their remake counterparts.
Awesome man, thanks so much!
@@raccooncitycinema Can't blame you given the contents of it! But hey, you did what was best to trim down the fat and make it serviceable on your end. XD
But hey, get yourself a pat in the back and plenty of rest for the remake! You EARNED it! 😎
@@lightbluesquid gulp gulp, gag gag
"Monsters. I guess after this there will be one less to worry about"
That line, it was absolutely perfect for the joke.
Amazing opening
Thank you! Originally I thought I should skip the intro, but once I realized how good it fit I had to!
I love learning about the actual mechanics of how damage works in these games.
Thanks for the time you put into these. It's been eye-opening.
That's one of my favorite parts of these books too! Glad to hear it, thanks!
@@raccooncitycinema Same here. It's been a pleasure to see your channel grow.
Aw, that means a lot, thanks so much!
I love the guidebook being translated. It’s useful and much appreciated!!
Awesome, so glad it's useful! Thank you!
Excellent video! You obviously put an enormous amount of time and effort into your work and the results are brilliant! Your biggest fan!
I... never knew you could go back to the Verdugo if you skipped it, but i always killed it immediately anyways
Same here. That's pretty cool if you run out of ammo and want to go back later. I can't think of many other reasons
Omg almost 40 minutes of video! Impressive Will. Thank you so much for your hard work on these videos 🙇♂️ Your channel is essential and leaves younger and inexperienced players with a huge cultural heritage! 🌟
What an amazing thing to hear, thank you!😭
40 minutes was too much for my computer, I had to make it as 3 separate videos! This was easily the biggest challenge, so thank you so much for everything!
Very good compilation of RE4 gameplay information!
Thanks for checking it out!
3:15 mind blown I had no idea ganados could attack u like that with the pitchfork. amazing vid I've been waiting for this one :)
Thank you so much! I love all the little subtleties in attacks they put in
Happy to watch it all after a long work day, even tho I liked the video the moment it was published, looking forward to separate ways addition and other info,
That was really entertaining, thank you!
Oh, that was you! Haha thank you! I noticed 3 likes right after I posted it which was great to see after months of work!
Much appreciated 🙏
Great, there's Separate Ways, character chapter, weapons, and little novelizations in here, so hope you enjoy those!
So much lore and detail .. I LOVE IT
Yeah they really go all out with the details in these books! Lots of things I never knew I wanted to know
Thank you!
"Where's everyone going, bingo?"
Love these ideos. Subbed 🎉
Thank you so much! And welcome
You earned a sub! Great stuff.
Right on, thank you and welcome!
Hope re4 remake improve more yet the lore of monsters
Yeah I'm looking forward to see what they do with it, and how they connect it to the other games
Oh the Iron Maiden... reminds me of a Street Fighter EX character called GARUDA.
Seeing you actually allow a Regenerador to attack you made my butt pucker a bit. Bravo.
It must take some real patience to actually get every attack to happen. Ive completed RE4 many times and still had no idea El Gigante could wield a tree and go bowling with a boulder.
Hahaha well I'm pretty desensitized to all RE4 enemies after making this video. It really does take a long time to bait a certain attack and record it in a way it's visible on screen.
I didn't know about the one where El Gigantes pulls you into the blast furnace, that happened by accident!
Amazing video! It was a pleasure to appear in the video
It was so nice of you to be here! Thank you so much!
Just in time for the remake! :D
Yeah, had to start it months ago! Thanks for watching!
@@raccooncitycinema Well they were both great videos so it was worth the effort! :)
These videos are always a treat, and I appreciate your own commentary about some parts and strategies you've seen/know. It's a shame the video uses the censored version, but still a good video.
I'm glad to hear it, thanks!
Yeah even the censored version might get flagged by RUclips... It does suck because I'm sure some people haven't seen it
🔥video
Dude i remember when Krauser grabbed me from behind while i was walking down to the lower layers of the arena you fight him in.
It was like my third playthrough and i legit screamed it caught me off guard! So memorable
Lol! It's those moments 😂
This was my first time to be grabbed by the El Gigante from the smelter, and my jaw just dropped
@@raccooncitycinema like Resi 4 got dread and terror and tensity! Its a dense layered cake of horror that i fear the remake isnt able or is unwilling to grasp
Thank you
Thank you for watching!
I bought my brother a bunch of these official Japanese RE guides. Can’t wait to see what else is hiding in them. BTW, I have doubles of a few if you’re interested in expanding this series!
You sound like a good brother 😁
Thank you for the offer, I've got a big stack of books waiting already. BUT there's one I can't get for cheap, that's the Outbreak File 2 Grand Bible. If you have that I'd love to take a peek
I finally managed to catch up with your latest videos and as always they are comprehensive and full of detail :)
If I may I'd like to ask you something, I was looking through your channel's video list, I was looking for something, and I noticed that some videos have disappeared 👀 how come?
Thanks for catching up, it's good to hear from you again!
And yeah, I made the Daymare video private because I got tired of people attacking me after not even watching the video, or at least not understanding what I said.
I'm so excited for Daymare 94, I even preordered the limited edition! Something I never do
@@raccooncitycinema Thank you too for your effort in this videos. When I have free time I always return to your channel with pleasure.
Understood, what a pity but it is an understandable choice.
Oh! My too! Honestly it's a great time for horror fans, between RE4 remake, SH 2 remake, alone in the dark, Alan wake 2 and Daymare 1994, i'm in heaven ahah i can't wait to get my copy of the game 🤩
@@onibur4023 thanks for understanding! haha yeah, heaven is a good way to describe it! Just need to find the time and money for all these games
HAYYY my friend! Long time. Great to see you back! I'll be providing live commentary as I watch the video.
BTW, did you watch my The Evil Within tribute video yet? Don't remember seeing a comment from you. Please have a look and let me know what you think.
Back to this vid.
An egg, thrown at a windshield of a truck? LOL, I guess Los Plagas removes the knowledge of windshield wipers lol
As for the ganado plagas, the type that sprout a monster after decapitation. I hated those that could literally decapitate you if you got close enough.
In the PS2 days without auto aim, those were some of the hardest parts, but I enjoyed the game enough to push on through.
Awesome video I'd personally love to see you cover Saddler from Separate ways
Thanks so much and for the feedback! I think I will get to it in the future. Although wishing I had it ready before the new SW dlc, d'oh!
@@raccooncitycinema no problem man I discovered your channel the other day and already binged all of it really great stuff
@@randomtask155 Awesome, really appreciate it! And glad to hear people are still interested in these games and books
21:21 I’ve played through this game no less than 20 times last year and have never seen this Gigante attack
You're not alone there, other people have commented specifically that they've never seen the boulder throw either, so maybe it's one of the rarer moves?
I didn't know you could get pulled into the smelter, so that was a jaw dropping moment for me haha
Oh yeah baby, keeping the hype up for RE 4 Remake Coming in 4 days !
Yeah man, I'm really excited for it. I even bought this week's issue of Famitsu gaming magazine because they had an 8 page preview. No new info, but haven't bought a gaming mag in more than a decade!
@@raccooncitycinema i'm surprised there 's still gaming magazine in japan, that's kinda awesome tbh
@@raul1642 it's weekly too! I think next week is a full RE4 remake blowout, I'll pick that up too. Famitsu is the same company that did this guidebook
@@raccooncitycinema well, i cant wait for your next project video then !
The garador, or what I call, blind wolverine... man, that was one of the hardest monsters. That's why I ,loved taking Krauser and killing it with his mutant arm, or taking wesker, and doing the PAUL PHOENIX PUNCH after stunning it I think! I hated that monster!
20:14 "She can't be grabbed with a special costume 2"
Actually El gigante can grab her with the special costume 2
You're right, I worded that poorly. The book's wording is "Even if she's grabbed she will automatically break free directly after."
Thanks for pointing that out, I'll fix it when I talk about this in the future
@@raccooncitycinema No problem bro, either way your content is awesome
How is this the first time I've found out that a ganado with dynamite can one shot you if it grabs you!
The El Gigante pulling Leon into the blast furnace was new to me! Usually try not to die it's easy to miss some of these 😄
never realized in the salazar fight the eyeball is verdugo! another amazing video 😎
Glad I'm not the only one who didn't notice till now haha
And thanks!
Ever notice how the villain always says "I will become the perfect lifeform!" and then proceeds to turn into the most disgusting looking creature imaginable?
I'd love to see this trope reversed one day, where they turn into the most attractive create ever.
And great video as always! Not sure why you are releasing an RE4 video at the moment. Nope. No idea :>
Lmao, true!
Reminded of Morpheus from Dead Aim, obsessed with beauty and then balloons up like a giant meat-blueberry!
Haha man I wasn't gonna miss a launch like this, I think I started working on these vids 5 or 6 months ago. Shame I couldn't do more chapters. But now my RUclips feed is nothing but RE4 remake so I'll get back to the classics for a bit. Maybe I'll translate a gaming mag, but I'm not sure about the legality of that
@@raccooncitycinema Holy... Fucking shit. If you start doing old 90s Japanese videogame magazines you would officially become my favorite channel. I am dead serious.
I think the legality should be fine as long as if you read from the ones already uploaded to the internet archive! I would love to one day see you do some Playstation 1 magazines. ImportGamingFTW uploads old VHS tape magazines to his second channel and it is absolutely fascinating to see the games that don't even have Wikipedia/mobygame articles, they are that freaking rare.
As much as I say this though, you should probably get a start on the SH2 guide book ready for the remake hah
@@novelezra haha well I was thinking about translating the RE4 remake issue of Famitsu, but I just got it and I don't know if there's anything interesting in it yet.
I would love to do old magazines some time though. There's actually a video I've been wanting to make looking at an old article from GamePro and they had a very early build of RE1, and it had a chainsaw and all this other stuff. That'd be cool to look into that build of RE1.
ImportGamingFTW, interesting I'll check it out.
And yeah haha, I really should do SH2. I think I've got a few guides downloaded already. Just....need....time
Btw if you're on twitter add me, rccinema1
Holy shit.
This is so much amazing information!
Massive thank you to you, RCC!
I can only imagine how this can help the speedrunning community.
Knowing how speedrunners prefer to just abuse glitches, probably not much.
@@FallingPicturesProductions But like, knowing exact health values and damage numbers could be really useful in knowing exactly how much damage to give and take.
I must admit, I don't speedrun the game myself, but I can totally see it being used (if it wasn't known already)
So far, before getting to Krauser... is it me, or are some of the enemies reminding me of enemies in Fallout games? such as the U3, reminds me of the Centaurs.
This is why the remake will never be better than the original. Back when it was released developers actually put effort in and were creative. Now they only care about making the games "look good"
I never knew Mendez had so many attacks
Me neither, and U3 had more than I remembered
16:23 the toggling between infared and black and white on the scope, what is that? In all of my time playing the game throughout the various ports I've played, I've never seen that. I tried finding some info about it online, but I cant find any other source that talks about it.
If I remember correctly it's only in the GameCube version and you press X while using the IR scope
25:31 did the verdugo just emote? 💀
Haha yeah he even does it in the remake too!
@@raccooncitycinema this is probably why i love re4 so much, there's always something new to learn about it
11:40 "What is the origin point of drool? The head! And what do we do with heads?" -CarcinogenSDA
Does Gatling man JJ resist tmp damage? when doing body shots, it usually took around 90 bullets (1.8 power each, ~160 total) while Black tail only took 26 (4.5 each, 117 total)
also, how do you convert hp / damage value compared to what is shown in-game?
a cool thing to add also : Mine thrower explosion seems to have around 17 power , the cool thing is that it seems to have a multiplier against some enemies like Verdugo.
Yes he does resist the tmp! Damage is reduced to 0.21 times. And for how damage is calculated I'm gonna put all that info in the weapon chapter video I'll make in the future.
Very interesting tip, thanks for telling me! I'll have to see if it says anything about the mine thrower vs garrador.
@@raccooncitycinema I was mistaken about the dart damage, I tested (with punisher) and MT dart didnt do 0.9 damage ,
so it seems mines do +90% damage against Verdugo (did a video for it)
either that or verdugo has Magnum damage resistance
Leon: "alright so me and ashley start making our way towards this castle, but just as we leave the village, a truck filled with the ganados try to run us over
Secret agent colleague: no way, how'd you get away?
Leon : I beaned the driver with an egg and he immediately crashed
🤣🤣🤣 talk about hard boiled
About you being able to elbow chainsaw sisters to death, does that work in mercs? I think they still try to kill you from behind with the chainsaw.
I haven't tried it but I wouldn't think so. I have a feeling it has something to do with being in close proximity to Ashley
Had a terrifying moment my first time playing Mercenaries where I thought I killed one of the sisters and put my attention on the other. I quick turned cuz I heard a louder chainsaw and a scream and I avoided the attack from a sister behind me thanks to the i-frames on the quick turn. I remember endlessly running til the time ran out due to my fear of how many chainsaw sisters were around.
@@HuggableX0X0 hahaha I woulda just kept running too
As for Sadler... please tell me you didn't think "Spider Mastermind" when you saw that forl lol
do you have any plans for future videos? any insights?
Short answer, yes! For RE4 I want to do the weapon and character chapters, and maybe the short novelizations. My next 2 videos will be RE2 and RE0 part 2 because many people have been waiting. I've got a ton of other books too
These videos take forever because I do everything from writing, recording, to editing, and I've got young kids plus some major changes at work so I get about 1 hour of free time a day... But I'm always chipping away at it
@@raccooncitycinema u r a hero!
@@romangarder7015 haha thanks man!
Are you done with guide books?
No I'm not done, I have a big stack of books I plan on getting to 😁
I swear the ganado/zealot/militant type plaga can appear at maximun of 3 on screen on higher difficulties or high ranking on normal mode (adaptive difficulty)
There are mistakes in the book, so it could be! I don't remember seeing it, but I'll keep an eye out
@@raccooncitycinema the book seem to be based on the ps2 version then is maybe true cause the ps2 version lower the enemies spawn rate and respawn in mercenaries
24:15 Why do you pronounce is vertigo?
Helps engagement
Just a question on the ps2 version you can destroy the truck with only one shot?
This book is for the GameCube and PS2 version so I would assume so. I didn't test it so I can't say for sure.
Hope that helps!
it's great that you put HP for every enemy but can you please put how much damage the regular shotgun does to a 3000 hp
Yes, I'm planning on putting that info in the video for the weapons chapter. It might take a while to make it tho
@@raccooncitycinema thanks + as a huge RE4 fan this is very appreciated because I couldn't get my hands on any re4 guide book.
7:36 I'm pretty sure you're showing the wrong one, the spider-looking one can bite and spit (maybe the guide named them improperly instead)
Yeah I'm showing the type C spider one because type b can't spit. The weird thing is that it says type b can spit acid in the monster description, but on the next page or so lists all attacks and clearly shows type b can only bite, and type C can do both.
I even checked the Resident Evil Archives 2 book and it too made the same mistake, saying type B can bite and spit!
As always man, great vid, and really appreciate the hard work! Keep it up. and... would appreciate if you saw my Evil Within tribute video and what you thought of it.
Hey thanks so much for that!
Yeah I have been so busy trying to get this video ready before the RE4 remake, I haven't watched much of anything but now I'm finally done I'll be sure to check your videos out. 👍
@@raccooncitycinema Awesome man, looking forward to your thoughts on the video on a new GOW voice acting attempt, The music video, and if you'd like, my thoughts on what accessibility I wanna see in RE4 remake.
Thank you very much for translating.
For the Krauser fight, does the guide say nothing about knife being more effective than any other weapon? (Or magnum doing less damage) or did we just breathe all rumors?
I only remember it saying use the knife to defeat him in 10 seconds, but on a separate page it says the knife does 400 damage to Krauser! So it's not just a rumor 😄
I'm planning on putting all that damage info into the weapon chapter video in the future.
Thanks so much for watching!
16:20.... Wait what the fuck? What? Like... What? This is by far the game I have played the most... And I have never, ever, even remotely, heard of this. Grayscale on the Infrared Scope on Gamecube... I need to check this out right now.
So I have tried it on the GameCube, and I couldn't manage to get this grayscale vision... There's got to be more to it. Maybe the Japanese release only?
Truck
That's actually not true about the Regenerator being the only one to do the overhead swing. The Iron Maiden can also do that attack as well.
Oh really? That's what was written in the book and I didn't think to double check. Perhaps another mistake
@@raccooncitycinema It's all good man I'm not saying it's your fault. When the Iron Maidens attack Ashley they do the overhead swing on her.
@@SerraPontosSoc oh man, that's really interesting! Wonder if that was intentional or just a quirk? Either way I had no idea, thanks for telling me!
@@raccooncitycinema You're welcome mate. I think it would be intentional as the Iron Maiden is just a regenerator but with more mutations so it would make sense that it keeps the same attacks and movements.
I thought Krauser was infected by a virus in Darkside Chronicles. If he had a parasite then Saddler could've controlled him and that wouldn't have made sense in the story.
He was just injured in Darkside Chronicles. Apparently Krauser got a "master plaga" or something, so that's probably why he couldn't be controlled. I only really included what was in the book here, but that'd be interesting to explore more
@@raccooncitycinema No, he got infected by that virus, it hit him in the arm that mutates. If he had access to a master plagas, then why didn't just steal it instead of going after the sample? What was the difference?
Where would he even have gotten it from? Saddler was clear he didn't trust Krauser, so why would he give him that power? If he wanted Krauser to have the power to kill Leon, why give him a plaga that he couldn't control. It doesn't make sense. If they changed it for the remake then it's a bad change.
@@aballofgrime7273 No, he wasn't infected by that virus. That virus was T-Veronica and not plaga.
VERY UNDERRATED CHANNEL
Hey, thank you, I really appreciate it!
You're channel and INK RIBBON have the same vibe, very entertaining, like button is the thing i can do to help
@@polariuzz I'm a big fan of Ink Ribbon! It was unbelievable that he'd help out in my video after watching him for a long time. And thank you so much for supporting me!!
A new RE4 is coming out in a few days, and people are still out here making brand new content for the original. I absolutely love it, and I really think this game will keep on trucking long after the remake.
Definitely seeing a lot of love for RE4 in the comments, I'd say that's a safe bet 😄
It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again
U3 always had me on a cold sweat during the cage phase.
To this day I can't understand how a game that's textbook example on bosses had such a let down for the final one! Let's hope the remake fixes that.
Unkillable boss in tight corridors and then they had to go and put countdown timers,I know how ya felt haha
Yeah it'll be interesting to see what they do.
Wait, the alternate scope is only in the GameCube version?
I don't know if it's only GameCube, I didn't try it on Wii or PS2, but I couldn't activate it in the Switch version. Maybe I just missed it? 🤔
@@raccooncitycinema You might have missed it. I remember you have to go and track it down somewhere. It's been a few years since I've played through though.
@@DecadesApartProductionsoh sorry I misunderstood or didn't explain it well in the video. The thermal scope is in all versions of the game, but if you press X while using it on the GameCube it switches color from thermal image to like this gray night vision-y color. I think that gray vision mode isn't in the HD version
IT puts the lotion on the skin
I think it's wrong to say that Saddler is the "Founder" of Los Illuminados, as the plaga has been around for centuries way before Saddler was even born. I know it's just semantics but the more appropriate title would be that he is the current "leader" of Las Plagas as the pagan religion existed way before Saddler even knew about it. One could even say that he is just a prophet of the faith.
This is really interesting and a good point. I double checked the book and they say he's the "founder."
They probably mean founder of the revived form Los Iluminados as mentioned here in the game memo:
"As expected it took a little time, but we were able to rejuvenate the once sealed Las Plagas. With this success I was one step closer to the revival of the Los Illuminados."
And the wiki says the true origins lie with Osmund Saddler in the 1990s.
BUT I just checked the Famitsu issue 1790 with the RE4 Remake special, and they DO refer to Osmund Saddler as the current leader of the Los Iluminados and not the founder!
I'm not finished the remake yet, and sorry if this is a minor spoiler, if so stop reading, but it looks like there are a long line of Saddlers preaching their crazy, so looks like the remake could be fleshing that out more or retconning him as the founder
@@raccooncitycinema Don't stress friend I've already finished the game. I have to admit I do prefer the original RE4. However whilst they do give a more im depth backstory of Saddler and the Las Plagas there still is alot of mystery surrounding him, the plaga, the cult etc. In terms of being the "founder" of the revived version that makes sense however the unadulterated original founder will forever remain a mystery. IMO I would say he is a prophet for the plaga as let's not forget all we know about Saddler is that he is a bio-weapons chief so he would understand biology and how organisms work far better than the rest of the characters in the Resident Evil universe. How he got into power, found out about the plaga, managed to relocate and move to Spain despite him not being Spanish or speaking the language and him using the plaga to his advantage is a complete mystery. When the other enemies in the game speak about Saddler they refer to him as "God" and Saddler himself speaks about the plaga and himself in the third person meaning that he either thinks he is God or most likely that he maybe worked out something with the now revived plaga and is the host/prophet for the "True God Plaga" which would make more sense than the former. The catch would be that Saddler works for the Plaga and in return the plaga grants him the ability of being the strongest of all the plagas and the "leader" of the faith despite the fact that the plaga is the true "founder" or "leader".
@@SerraPontosSoc you need to work for Capcom because now I want some kind of Saddler origin story/game. Hell I'll take a comic haha
@@raccooncitycinema You're too kind mate 🥰. I will try my best to find out any more information I can about Saddlers origins (If there is any) otherwise I will have to come up with my own conclusions. Either way I will let you know my findings.
The gatling man's name is Chef Rodriguez
I can see him being a chef. What's the official source for that name? I only included "J.J." and his Japanese name from the book
@@raccooncitycinema I just made it up since I think the fans made up the name doctor salvador. What doctor uses a chainsaw? I don't think that name appears in the game anywhere.
@@aballofgrime7273 Dr. Salvador is in RE4 actually. It's his name on the bottle cap, so it's more than just a fan name
Chris would've block that attack 20:43 honestly, what a weak Leon, i've never seen that chad taunt move from Verdugo before attacking 25:30 lmao
Lmao yeah I don't remember ever seeing that so I made sure to put it in the vid
