Three things I look forward to every year for Halloween: 1 - Spooky movie watching/rewatching 2 - Monster Madness 3 - New AVGN Halloween themed episode
The opening cinematic of this game is actually pretty sick, especially when you compare it to how Lara Croft and her ilk used to look in their cinematics in the 90's. These character models are really impressive for the time.
I liked the style a lot. It was a great compromise between semi realism and animation. I somewhat miss it. Now, video games try way too hard with the cutscenes for "muh realism". Where has the artistic touch gone, now that everything has to look like live action movies?
Given so much of it didn't appear in the final game I would not be surprised if it was rendered at the start of what must have been a train wreck of a production
I don't care for tattoos, but otherwise it's a genuinely great look. Style reached its peak back then. So much in fact that many of the companies and sellers that deal in such apparel and style are still around. It's such a timeless and likeable era. Compare that to all the man buns, half-shaved cuts, skinny jeans, lumberjack beards and so on today. Yeh...give me my "edgy" late 90s look, please.

This was vintage nerd, James. The writing, the acting, this is what I hope for every time I click play on a new episode. Whatever your process was for this one, this is the way to go.
Hey you! Yes you! Where is your verified icon? You're such a legend! I love your videos, the only bad thing is sometime the audio is a little to high, specially on the Resident Evil Videos. Thank you for all your hard work, specially on the SmackDown games and Mortal Kombat, it was full of nostalgia for me. A big hug from Japan!
"What were they thinking"? Well, very smart actually. Most of franchises have no link with each other except for the name. By letting people who want to make Resident Evil make Resident Evil instead of say, Countdown Vampires 2, there will be more Resident Evil games that people will just eat.
Most likely Capcom saw their pathetic attempt at a game, and saw potential. Maybe with a bigger budget and an established franchise they can do well. And it turns out they did.
14:32 Misato : HaHaHa! Gells is the Emperor of Darkness... Me : Ok, at least there will be a little interesting plot right here Misato : I'm just kidding! Me : ARE YOU KIDDING ME !!?????
Every other dracula movie has the count coming to London in a ship so... And then, halfway through the trip Dracula always goes berserk and eats the crew; usually during a violent storm. So, I don't know about that running water theory
It became abit notorious a few years ago when 2bestfriendsplay were referencing it during resident evil gameplay then actually played it for halloween.
I never imagined that someone would talk about this horrible game considered cult by some friends, who got tattoos in reference to the protagonist, congratulations dude, great video.
I think a literal transliteration of how you'd approximate "glove" in katakana would be "gurobu". This is more likely to be "the item names were done by someone who didn't know their context in the game".
Could have also been a localization error that was overlooked, there's no sound similar or the same in Japanese as an English "V" sound. It's a common mistake in lots of older games.
@@bubblegumxoNot at all. From what I remember it's basically the exact same game just with a few minor additions. I think the only big difference is the boss you fight half way through the game.

@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 Seriously. I remember as a kid I thought they were joking when it asked me to confirm it had to wipe my memory card. I selected OK. Boom, there goes all my save games :(
The "Glove/Globe" error also appeared in Final Fantasy 9 where one of Quina's Blue Magic spells, Limit Globe, was mistranslated as "Limit Glove" despite having a literal globe appear in the attack animation.
It's probably because of the weird way Japanese transliterates English words. They don't have a v so it makes sense they'd end up using b or f depending. Translating back has a similar problem. For instance Roper from Enter the Dragon was an inspiration (along with Williams) for an enemy in Double Dragon, but the enemy keeps being called Lopar.
I feel like as the years have gone on, you sometimes do see the real James slip in the AVGN episodes...and I'm ok with that. You see, doing AVGN for a long time and growing and evolving, the anger is there, but so is the heart and soul of the one who acts. It kinda feels more nourishing in a way to see that fusion and makes it feel so much more real than ever before. It's anger, but it feels genuine.
I like the way he ended the video with a Trevor Belmont quote from SOTN..... "Die monster, you don't belong in this world." Avgn is a true Castlevania fan.
9:44 The animation here is certainly something. She's clearly writhing in agony, but they don't even try to make Keith look like he's in defense mode. He occasionally interjects, but he mostly just stands there with no real feeling of urgency

The "Glove/Globe" error also appeared in Final Fantasy 9 where one of Quina's Blue Magic spells, Limit Globe, was mistranslated as "Limit Glove" despite having a literal globe appear in the attack animation.
It's probably because of the weird way Japanese transliterates English words. They don't have a v so it makes sense they'd end up using b or f depending. Translating back has a similar problem. For instance Roper from Enter the Dragon was an inspiration (along with Williams) for an enemy in Double Dragon, but the enemy keeps being called Lopar.
Most probably the translator just had a list of words and no pictures to go from. A glove would seem a more likely item to appear.

Love to see the videos changing as far as production over the years. Each year/season has it's own charm.
I feel like as the years have gone on, you sometimes do see the real James slip in the AVGN episodes...and I'm ok with that. You see, doing AVGN for a long time and growing and evolving, the anger is there, but so is the heart and soul of the one who acts. It kinda feels more nourishing in a way to see that fusion and makes it feel so much more real than ever before. It's anger, but it feels genuine.
"You got to stay here, you silly."
Finally obsessively refreshing RUclips pays off. I need help.
That wcw nwo Goldberg memory card is worth a lot of money if it's still in the packaging according to ebay

That was the most confusing end cutscene I've ever seen.
"Most non intimidating vampires". So, any relation to the Cullen family?
Lol
Vegan vampires.
At least Edward Cullen can fight (in theory)
Nah, not enough glitter
You know that James cares about his fans when he’s still hearting comments today.
That's probably Tony. He has nothing else to do.
I like the way he ended the video with a Trevor Belmont quote from SOTN..... "Die monster, you don't belong in this world."
Avgn is a true Castlevania fan.

The animation here is certainly something. She's clearly writhing in agony, but they don't even try to make Keith look like he's in defense mode.
He occasionally interjects, but he mostly just stands there with no real feeling of urgency
And in one of the witch fights, around the 12-minute mark I think, you see Keith is frozen in mid-step and just scooting around like a cutout.
Mom, can I have Resident Evil?
No, we have Resident Evil at home.
The Resident Evil at home-
This was so funny I literally had the same reaction to James when the "vampire"said there were 6 underworld movies🤣had to put the video on pause and Google it cuz I still couldn't believe it
