Some of these are pretty insane catches. Most of this is new to me, very refreshing to hear something new 22 years later. Great work.
Thank you! Yeah, like how Welsh went for a walk and noticed a sign on a train and recognized it from a blurry texture is beyond me haha
What I find so appealing about prerendered backgrounds is the insane amount of details the developers can put into them. This video just makes me appreciate them even more. Great work 10/10.
Absolutely! The fact we can still find new details and appreciate them after all these years. REmake in particular will still look amazing for years to come I think. And thank you!
Banger, after banger, after banger.
@@parhelio___ Awesome, thank you!
Another amazing video! Always scratches the itch of wanting to find out just a bit more of our favorite series! Btw, Welsh has quite the eye for these extremely obscure details, great guy!
Thank you so much! And yeah, talk about attention to detail. Can't wait to see what he's working on next. I'll be sure to let him know what you said!
Mind blowing stuff, Crazy how you can still learn MORE about RE
Yeah for sure! I've learned a ton after all these years from old Japanese guidebooks, concept art, people like Welsh, etc. Makes me appreciate the devs for the amount of work and detail they put in here
I like how a mansion located at the outskirt of an American town has more things related to Spain that an entire game of the same franchise set on that Country.
@@TheJerbro69 😂
Can't have enough of these videos.
Thanks! They take forever but I'm basically always chipping away at them
Omg. The amount of hidden stuff in classic games is shocking. It makes you appreciate the talented people behind its creation even more. I'm not gonna say modern RE engine games are easier to make but jesus The amount of scanned real life objects in these games is beyond anyone's comprehension. It's one of the reasons why i always felt classic games had a "real life" vibes to it even compared to new games.
Lastly i really appreciate the huge work and effort you made to make this video and show us things we would never have seen in our lifetime without it. So thank you so much.
Yeah I totally get that about it feeling like "real life" even though it didn't look much like a Midwestern American town haha. And I absolutely love how the graphic designers sneak their names in all over the place. I'm not trying to self promote but if you haven't, please check out my RE3 video just for all the hidden staff members, it's crazy.
And thank you! I'm just glad there are still people who would care about something like where the wall paper is from 😆
@@raccooncitycinema
I've already subscribed and added RE3 video to my list. Good stuff man your channel will definitely blow up soon.
@@M.sami12 awesome man, thank you and welcome!!
Love to learn something new after all this years ❤
Please make a series of this!
You got it! Thanks for letting me know you'd like to see it 👍
This video was really good 🔥 Also shout out to Welsh for even noticing any of this stuff!
@@STiP0 thank you! Yeah it's really incredible!
You forgot to mention the reference to the painting in the hall, the one with the castle from RE3.5, which was basically an Easter Egg from RE4.
Shout-out to Welsh and Leo!
And yes, if you guys find more I'd love to see a 2nd part.
Oh, and fantastic job!
Thank you! We had a chat last night and it looks like we'll be teaming up again for part 2!
@@raccooncitycinema Oh, that's fantastic news.
Thank you guys!
0:55 i think the first line is just an address (its too hard to see)
but the second line says "notice about you passing the qualifying round" (予選通過のお知らせ)
@@THE_INFECTED I think you're right too. That's as much as I could read, but looks like we're missing some important context here unfortunately 😣
Btw, since you understand Japanese please check out my RE3 video if you have a minute, there's a funny hidden message in there you might appreciate
You may have mentioned it previously, which would explain why you didn't mention it here, but I'm surprised you didn't mention Judith Beheads Holofernes by Caravaggio in the room where you have to push that statue and reveal George Trevor's grave. That painting also appears in Tormented Souls.
Oh cool, I didn't know it was in Tortured Souls! Looking forward to the sequel. And your hunch was right, I mentioned it in another video already (where I remember seeing it in Code Veronica, too)
I love this kind of videos, if you ever need close ups of the character models like with the watches let me know I can do them for you.
Also if you ever do one of Umbrella Chronicles I found some fun stuff on the files.
No way, that'd be amazing! I've seen your work before and it's incredible!!! Seriously
I've been debating doing Umbrella Chronicles but I definitely will some day now! Thank you!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing, some of these I did know (like the paintings) but most of these were new to me!
Thanks! Same here, it was really interesting for me to see this stuff too. And Welsh has more to share!
This was incredible. By far the most information I learned in probably the last 15 years combined about my favorite franchise.
Thanks, glad to hear it! Seems like no matter how much time passes there's always something cool to learn. If you have a few minutes please check out my RE3 video, I couldn't believe all the stuff that no one seems to have noticed
You forgot the white castle painting in the piano room is a real castle
This is so crazy. Especially now we know the RE Engine scans objects into the games. So this goes right back to day 1 ❤❤❤❤❤
This was very interesting! Good job. Hope to see more.
The most horrifying thing in the game is how Wesker wears his watch! I mean, it is on his outer side of the wrist. How does he look at it?
@@4400seriesFAN 😂 well, gotta show off the merchandise
😜😜
The champ is here! I didn't know any of these tidbits!
It was really lucky to team up with Welsh on this one! And this was just one batch of what he's been holding on to 😲
373 is meant to be read as Minami, with 3 being "mitsu" and 7 "nana", MiNaMi
@@Le5sterleCheMiDevi yeah, I laid it out in my RE3 video that 373 is MiNaMi, but I couldn't confirm who it was until later I saw the high resolution pic it says his full name "373 ko-1" Minami Koichi.
If you have a chance please check out that RE3 video because I found way more developer name Easter Eggs
@@raccooncitycinema Sure!
@@Le5sterleCheMiDevi thanks so much!
The demon face on the wallpaper in the dining room near the fireplace 👌
Never noticed that until this video, but it's so suitably creepy and perfect
Okay I’ve been down the block so many times I can’t even begin to count. How in the world did you find all of this!! I thought I knew everything resident evil! About to hit that Subscribe button so hard lol
Lol thank you! This was years of observations by Welsh who has an incredible eye. Plus some from me (I've found a lot of hidden stuff in Japanese, too. Please check out my RE3 video if you get the chance because it's crazy all the new Easter Eggs in there).
It's a real testament to the hard work and detail the devs put into these games that we keep noticing new things!
And thank you so much! Really appreciate it and welcome!
Great stuff, man! It always amazed me how many of these little details you can find and then pair with real world stuff. Keep up the amazing work!
@@Dannybiv Thanks man! Really appreciate your help and input on this too. Can't wait for our collab!
Well spotted, and quite interesting information, I admire your time and dedication, I'll keep a look out as Il be playing 1 2 and 3 very soon.
@@thomaswilliams9431 Thank you! Have fun with the first 3 games!
0:55 The first line is just an address. It seemingly says "shouwadai 233 kouchi". I google mapped it, to no avail.
And the second line says "Notice of your qualification".
I don't know, seems to me that picture was taken in a real life pokemon battle tournament or something (Hence the line "Notice of your qualification").
Edit: That shrine looks like Shimogamo shrine (下鴨神社), but not really sure.
That was my thought too, but I didn't think it could be referring to the wrestling match! Someone commented that it looks like Pokemon Slamfest and the costume does look exactly the same. Must have been from some Smash Bros promotional wrestling match held in Japan.
@@raccooncitycinemaI meant something like world pokemon championship, not the wrestling event 😂 But now that you mention it, it kinda looks like they were in some sort of wrestling ring, and the guy next to Pikachu kinda resembles a wrestler. Hmm, interesting. Maybe Kouchi prefecture is where the event was held?The myself deepens.
Anyway, nice vid and I definitely want a part 2. Keep up the good work! 💪
Original RE2, 3, 4 >Re-imagined versions. Come at me!
I wish they'd give us a big remaster like the Tomb Raider trilogy. Or a compilation with every version, even the Game. com version of RE2 😂
I have been recently reading the Itchy Tasty book. Any interesting, previously unknown notes in that book for any future videos?
Possibly. I could be wrong but I think Welsh helped set up some of those interviews for the book. Some of this video is based on personal interviews with developers
More videos like this please and thank you.
@@kvol1668 thanks for letting me know! Will team up again with Welsh for more some day
03:10 - 373 can also be read as "MI-NA-MI", btw
@@skypiratevyse1123 yeah, I talked about it in my previous RE3 video, but I didn't see ko-1 at that time, so I was just confirming it is actually him
It looks like Pikachu is standing next to pro wrestler Shawn Michaels in that letter stamp lol
Lol I was thinking it's definitely in a wrestling ring too. Someone commented that it looks like it's from Pokemon Slamfest which I didn't know about, but it was a promotion for Smash Bros. The Pikachu costume looks exactly the same. I wonder if this was taken at a Smash Bros promotional event in Japan 🤔
As someone native from Barcelona I discovered many references from my hometown in your video that I didn't saw it in all the years I have been playing (The Casa Milà and Batlló ones were pretty awesome).
In the 11:18 minute BTW, I had saw in its day this inscription nad tried to more or less decipher it, but exceptuating the first line, the rest is hard to read. I could read just "[???]into de Barcelona de rendir solemne" and would say more or less "[???] from Barcelona to give solemn[ly]...". I think that it would be somewhat of a tribute from someone from Barcelona to something, maybe a saint, a king or similar?
Awesome! That's so cool they're in your hometown! If you visit these places again please see if you can find them! I hope my pronunciation wasn't too bad, I checked how to say it on RUclips 😅
Ah, that makes sense, thank you for sharing! I was hoping someone would know about it, so I'm happy to hear from you. I think Welsh has more secrets from Barcelona to share, and maybe more about this inscription. I have a feeling we'll be returning in Part 2 💪
I always turn on my big screen TV to watch these. Excellent work m' dude 🎩
Thank you! I hope the audio was loud enough, I kept it a little lower for headphone users
really dig these kinds of videos. Great stuff!
@@Tallcat_TV Thanks! It's fun to research and make them too
No! Don't go!
Haha just like good ol' chickenheart, we will be back for Part 2
I love how you go much deeper than almost everyone else. 👍 Knowing Japanese helps a lot, I'm sure.
Hey thanks so much for all the kind words and comments, I really appreciate it!
And yeah, these books are awesome. So much cool stuff in them, I wish they were still around.
But it's a lot of fun to go through them and see what's inside
@@raccooncitycinema thank YOU. 🤗❤️
Gotta remind myself to never check for suspicious Umbrella emails, eh? They’ve been on a wild goose chase lately. 😂
Jokes aside, I’m surprised they hid the Pikachu in the remake! Same for the details we’ve seen in the video! Still impressive how this game hides so many small details even to this day. Another excellent video as always, my dude! 🎉
Haha yeah I was amazed to see what still hasn't been seen yet. And it's cool to learn more about the individual developers. The crazy thing is Welsh has even more stuff to share!
Great video. Thanks for all the hard work. Very excited for part 2
Thanks for watching! I'll have a chat with Welsh about Part 2. I have no idea what he's still holding on to so it'll be exciting for me
Id love to see more! Thanks for the amazing videos RCC!
Thanks for letting me know!
Great video dude. Subscribed and hope for a part 2!
Awesome 😎 thanks so much! Just chatted with Welsh and we will work on Part 2 eventually! This one took months, so sorry about the wait
@raccooncitycinema no need to apologise for giving us free content my dude. Quality like this takes time. Part 2 is appreciated and I look forward to it. Been binge watching your channel now. It's great!
that was an amazing job👍👏
i love the fact that residentevil 123 and cv and residentevil 1 remake came before more than 20 years, but people still find hidden things in these games:)
you need to check:
the clock tower 1
Sweet Home
Video game
alone in the dark 1992
Alcazar: The Forgotten Fortress
because capcom seems to get a lot of ideas from these games
for residentevil :)
Thank you! Yeah it's amazing how much detail the developers put into the games so we can keep finding them. And I love all the times they try to sneak their names in 😁
Ok, thanks for the suggestions! I've got a ton of projects lined up, even thinking of taking a look at Silent Hill 2, but maybe I can't find anything worthwhile
Hello my friend... it's been a while. Hope all is well with you and your family.
Always a fun time with your videos friend. Let's go.
Hey man, thank you! How are you and your family? Been worried since reading your post. Hope all is well
@@raccooncitycinema All is slowly getting better hopefully. A new government is in the process of being formed. My family is safe back in Bangladesh. hopefully now Bangladesh can prosper for real this time.
I still can't believe it, in 2024, the population of a nation has the power to overthrow a government, dismantle the entire system filled with the previous government cronies, and form a new government so quickly.
@@TheBengalDragon Glad your family is safe, man. That really is wild! Yeah hope it leads to a better future
@@raccooncitycinema Thanks friend. And this was a very interesting video. It seems from time to time, the developers were having lots of fun with the art design of these games.
@5:40, that looks more like Alias|Wavefront Maya, SOFTIMAGE|3D has a default perspective view that runs parallel to the Z axis, also, when opened, it displays the Quad View with the perspective and three orthographic views, same for XSI. Maya, instead, presents a 45° perspective view (like the one shown in the video), another giveaway is the green "persp" at the bottom of the viewport.
Wow, thank you for the clarification!
Unexpected and awesome.
@@devinc9 couldn't ask for a better compliment, thank you!!
Holy f ing s*it!!!
Man this is thorough! Very informative and interesting indeed! ❤️
@@habibullahhabib872 lol thank you! It was a lot of work, but also years of observations from Welsh too
Kudos to both of you! You guys are awesome!
Welcome back.
Thanks! I always hear that in Kendo Gun Shop voice haha
@@raccooncitycinema 👀
😂 The legend himself is back!!
Noo...! Dont go...!
Would love a part 2 ❤
Thanks for letting me know!
I always look forward to your videos!
Capcoms lawyers would be fine with Pikachu appearing, the game was made as a Gamecube exclusive, its not like Nintendo will complain about something that is actually a compliment to to one of their creations
Well Pikachu is owned by Creatures Inc and Game Freak so they'd need permission from those companies, too
Incredible details man
Thank you! And yeah, it really is incredible some of the stuff Welsh found!
This channel is amazing ❤
Thank you! I love your username and icon. Dawn of the Dead is one of my all time favorites. My friends and I were obsessed with it as kids
But- 8:39
😉
Are you sure that’s Pikachu? Looks more like a powered Sonic to me
Yeah, I can see the red circles on the cheek beneath the round black eye, the black tip on the pointy ear just like Pikachu. It's not wearing the white gloves of Super Sonic
Love this!!!
@@floristov thanks so much! Welsh and I will start working on Part 2 some time in the future 👍
This is great! 🎉
Thank you!
I started the series with RE5/4, but after playing REmake, it instantly became one of, if not, my favorite resident evil game. From the characters and story (even tho if simple, it was very captivating trying to discover what happened in the mansion), the enemy variety and designs (chimeras are the most disturbing enemies in the franchise in terms of how they were made, my favorite) the way the weapons felt in your hands and the dismemberment, the eerie soundtrack and of course the place where the game happens, so many areas to explore filled with puzzles, world building and story telling
I loved seeing your videos about the REmake bonus book
Captivating is the perfect word to use for this game, even after all these years!
Thanks, definitely not finished looking at REmake or the Spencer Estate.
Sorry about being late to the video! I caught COVID -.-''
That Pikachu cameo... I swear, that looks like a wrestling ring to me. I gotta wonder if this is somehow related to the infamous lost media that is Pokémon Slamfest haha (probably not haha)
Oh no! Don't worry, just focus on getting better 😣
Omg you're right, that costume looks the same as the stamp! I didn't know about Slamfest but I thought the pic was taken in a wrestling ring, too, and it makes perfect sense if it was a Smash Bros promotion. Who knows what promotions they had going on in Japan at that time?! I think you've brought us closer to finding the source of this image, thank you!!
And hope you're feeling better, my friend. Get well soon
@@novelezra hey man, just wanted to check in to see if you're over the COVID? Hope you're doing well
@@raccooncitycinema Hey! Thanks for asking! I'm over it but still very congested but it could be allergies. But I'm back up to speed. Now I'm suffering from Final Fantasy XIV addiction...
@@novelezra lol well with an addiction like that, better treat it with more FFXIV 😜
Ever since PSO I can't play MMOs because they're too addicting.
But glad to hear you're feeling better! Fingers crossed it's just allergies
@@raccooncitycinema Ha, how much did you play? One of my all time favourite RUclips videos is Happyconsolegamers video on Final Fantasy XI
What exactly is the painting at 9:30? It’s been bothering for years!
@@rob8204 That's a good question I wasn't able to figure out. Maybe it's something Welsh knows and we can put it in Part 2
That’d be awesome! I did some digging and it looks like i might have found it. Its a guy in old style powdered wig with his hand resting on a helmet but the area with his face is torn and hanging down
@@rob8204 wow! That sounds so suitably creepy! Haha thanks I'll have to try digging for it too
I dropped the image into a google lens search. Lol seems like a match but who knows haha😂
@@rob8204 lol well I'll take a look with Welsh when we start Part 2 and dig deep. For now I need to reset my brain and do the next video
BTW, have you made yourself or found somewhere this cool picture for the video's cover? 🤝
Thanks for asking! I made it myself following 2 different tutorials on RUclips. I really like the way it turned out
@@raccooncitycinema professional looking, well done. 👍
Slightly irrelevant question, what is the red line at the bottom at 1:12 ?
It's an obscure Easter Egg to Shimogama! I explained it in my RE2 video, but it's his nickname on the wall.
honestly the stamp looks more like shawn michaels doing sweet chin music to me. yea im awkward i know
Haha well it definitely looks like it's in a wrestling ring. Did Shawn Michaels ever wrestle a Pikachu? 😆
Is Spencer state In murrica?
waiting for re1 re remake 😎
Noooo dont goooo😢
What I can't fully grasp is how you're making out the very BLURRY and tiny Japanese characters. 😯 On the inventory items, for example. To my understanding, even the AI upscaling can't really help with that.
Well for the Serum bottle, it helps to know Japanese and you can look for patterns. Like "si" would actually be the "shi" sound in English, so once I saw "sitteta" on the Serum bottle I knew it wasn't gibberish. Usually it starts from one word.
And yeah as far as I know AI can't figure that stuff out, like in RE2 the HD upscale has the "tatsumi" Easter Egg wrong, which I was able to discern.
On the Serum bottle again it looks like one word is "omine" with an i, but what appears to be an i is probably an artefact and it's actually "omone"
And realizing that I had to change my translation from my previous video, something AI wouldn't do
@@raccooncitycinema very insightful, thank you so much for your hard work! ☺️
@@PokyBallinBabo thank you for all the kind comments my man! I really appreciate it!
@@raccooncitycinema thank you for your efforts in this deep research. I'm looking forward to your next videos. 🤩
Wait what? Where is Pikachu?
It's on the right side of the stamp
@@raccooncitycinema sorry brother--what stamp?
@@att1413 sorry I should've given more info but I was out. Pause it at 0:38 and you can see the image used as a stamp. The right side has a Pikachu in what appears to be a wrestling ring. You can tell it's Pikachu from the red circles on its cheek under the round black eyes.
