Resident Evil is my favorite video game franchise of all time and I want to talk about it. Every single game. Next is an extremely important release for the series...and it wasn't even a new story or anything. It's time for the remake of Resident Evil 1. This is Part 8 of my Resident Evil retrospective. Check out parts 1-7 first in the playlist:
• Resident Evil Retrospe...
#residentevil #residentevilremake #re1remake
First game I bought for the GameCube. It really set the tone for what remakes should be going forward, not just for Resident Evil but every game remake.
It’s hard to find much wrong with it
Um minor correction. Devil may cry never came out on the gamecube or the original xbox, it was a ps2 exclusive
Yeah I missed this in editing somehow. I knew this.
@@Paraspectre woulda been awesome though.
I still find it bizarre that we got so many M rated RE Capcom exclusives (or timed exclusives) on the Gamecube while the PS2 got the scraps (Outbreak, Dead Aim)
They had a contract with nintendo. I saw it in another video
Nintendo tried hard with GameCube to attract the older gamers that bought PlayStation/Sega for more mature games. Besides getting RE, they also published two M rated games too, Eternal Darkness and Geist.
I miss GameCube Nintendo. They actually tried to compete with the other console rivals and focused on gaming over annoying gimmicks.
@@Gruntvc They also published the Metal Gear Solid remake on the GameCube which was made by the same team who made Eternal Darkness.
@@GruntvcNot to mention letting Killer 7 be made for the GameCube.
It’s why the GameCube > PS2… just not in sales…
Best Resident Evil and probably best Remake ever
It is, I find 2, 3 and 4 were just darker with half the game taken out. It's soulless.
Was gonna say this. Having seen the original Director's cut of the game back in '97 (I hated the controls, so my older brother manned the game), I feel the remake is the best way to experience the game for the first time. A lot can be said for the cheesy, sparse dialogue in the original though--it added a certain level of tension and mystery I can't describe. you really didn't know what was coming.
It’s impressive what they pulled off that long ago too
I loved the first person camera perspective of Joseph during the intro. Felt very immersive. They brought the idea back with Hunks team in 2make
It’s a very subtle addition but it works so well
It's great to finally see you talking about what many consider to be the best game in the franchise, indeed REmake innovated so much and was basically a trailblazer for survival horror back in the day. Even nowadays his effects can still be felt.
Visually, the game is stunning and I love how they make full use not only of the space but the lighting to play with the player's expectations like for example how at the end of the Kenneth corridor where the crows are at the shadows almost seem to tease the presence of an enemy but going in you discover it's just a birdcage. That along with the moody atmosphere and the improved appearance of the zombies does wonder when it comes to giving you that feeling of unease the game is characterized by.
They also improved so much on the base game basically keeping all the plot points and characters as they were along with the mansion rooms but then adding more to them and connecting them in such a way that made the estate truly feel like a labyrinth ready to swallow intruders whole. Obviously the Lisa Trevor plotline is the best addition.
Voice-acting is good, I wasn't that blown away specially with Rebecca's performance but maybe that has to do with her VA from RE0 absolutely blowing away the one from REmake away but honestly that's a minor grip.
As for negatives to the game, as much of a purist as I may be I actually think it is insane they didn't took lessons from RE2 and made Jill and Chris have a zapping system as they explored different parts of the manor and interacted with each other at given points, it's clear that canonically they went thought the mansion and stopped the situation together so having one of them being completely out of the equation doesn't sit well with me. Likewise the fact the fourth STARS survivor (Barry/Rebecca) isn't included in both games is really odd as we truly don't have a canon ending on this game and it feels to me like adding them on a cell or something would have been fairly easy.
In the end even with those small inconveniences I'm quite happy with how REmake ended up being like, it's still a highlight of the franchise for me. Interested on seeing how you tackle the next titles from this point forward!
16:50 I bet Wesker REALLY regrets doing that lmao
No.
He had instructions to test other Bioweapons like Hunters, Neptune sharks and possibly Tyrant.
He was hoping that at least one of STARS would survive to test them all. Chris, Jill and *especially Rebecca* exceeded his expectations. 😂
22:40 🤔
I believe the handgun in hallway was Jill's.
It was dropped by her during her struggle with Wesker.
Makes sense now. 😊
I…never even thought of this. That’s a good point. But what DID happen to his gun?
@@Paraspectre Maybe he dropped it in the forest as he ran from infected dogs 🐕🌳🌳
ACTUALLY, Resident Evil 2002 was social commentary on how Y2K failed to destroy the consumer military industriel complex. I can't believe you missed that key message with so many playthroughs.
I have many fond memories of playing this game with my brother during our summer vacations
28:50 😮
The fact that from sales of GameCube 20 mil and RE Remake 1 mil, means that *Every 20th GameCube owner had RE Remake* is still impressive.
The HD Remaster of this game was my first RE game. That first play through was an incredible experience.
My biggest regret was that I already knew Barry was supposed to be a good guy, so I knew he wasn’t the traitor. Unlike the OG RE1, this game does portray Barry as a possible suspect, like when he leaves your for dead in the caves.
Oh, how I envy anyone who got to go into this game 100% blind!
Me👋. My friend had the jump before I got to play it on PSX. I went from being scared to fight zombies to knowing where all the enemies and items were. I still have the PAL version of director's cut on my PS mini classic.
I’m SO glad that this was my experience. It’s been so long now but I think I first played as Chris, so I didn’t really know who Barry was
How to remake a game the right way. This is the standard bearer.
12:55 Chris is like in his 20s here. Why is he a seasoned veteran?
RE4 on GameCube is probably my favorite RE to this day, but RE1 Remake 2002 is awesome too. Wish it sold better and we got actual remakes for RE2 and especially RE3 Nemesis like RE1 Remake back then.
At least the GameCube ports of RE2 and RE3 Nemesis are pretty good. Shame GameCube didn't get ports for Dino Crisis 1&2.
I will agree with everything here, except I’ve never actually played any of the Dino Crisis games
That looks like an awesome game. Thx for another entertaining video ^^
Oh it’s quite good
The Europe/Japan RE box art always beats the US versions
Thanks!
Like your Pokemon TCG videos. Re video nice change up. If you ever got the patience...I tried making a pigeot deck to use move hurricane and hope they didn't have bench pokemon so I would automatically win. Idea was cool but the chances of opponent not having bench pokemon...
Very much appreciated, thank you! That could be a fun deck idea too. A challenge focusing on removing active and benched Pokémon
I forget what music video that clip is from, but it is always hilarious she is made that her BF is not answering her excel lol
Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland of course 😎
Shroom boys
🍄
Niqqa said "probably top 5" 😂
I said what I said 😎
DMC1 only got released for PS2 on 2001
You mean *PS2* , right? 🤔
@@meziembamara4004 Yes, my bad.
Yeah, I don’t know how I missed that in editing. I knew this.
The resemblance is uncanny
Isn't it called Arklay mansion and not Arclay, or am i tripping?😅
I thought the SAME thing. The C really threw me off
2002… I remember how the Game Boy Advanced pulled out nation our of the horrors of 9/11
What a system
Keep an SP in my office desk.
The only remake that surpassed the original. RE2, 3, and 4 were all soulless turds that's just more dark minus 50% contents and fun.
I liked RE2 2019, but they didn't even try to replicate the zapping system and actual A/B scenarios of the original 1998 RE2. B scenarios in particular were weak.
RE3 Failmake utterly fails to even try to replicate the original 1999 RE3 Nemesis.
RE4 Remake is 8/10 at best, but it really didn't need to exist as the original still holds up and is widely available. RE CV, 0, Survivor, or Outbreak could actually benefit from remakes.
I politely disagree with this, although RE3 definitely feels too limited
Small correction. The modern remakes aren’t the new canon, Capcom has stated they are meant to be their own thing.
@@Bean-vu6gp1801. Capcom has explicitly said on several occasions including an interview on DMC5 in 2019 and social media posts that the remakes don’t replace their originals, there’s no room for misinterpretation in what they said.
2. That’s fine so long as you’re respectful of other opinions. That’s one of the reasons they’re both canon, so fans can follow whichever events they prefer.
3. Yeah Capcom doesn’t really care about RE’s canon which is why it’s always been so messy.
@@Bean-vu6gp180 They said it because of the story changes as if you take them into account the things they didn’t include or changed make it nearly impossible for the remakes to fully replace anything, that and replacing isn’t the purposes of a remake in general. They can both canon because they follow the same general set of events.
Suscribed😊
Why thank you
That first resident evil is still one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen
The first entry is linda faithful to the game. However, from the second movie onwards, It turned into a dumpsterfire, a cheap Matrix wannabe with nothing of the franchise, except the zombies and the name.
Wow. I think it’s my second favorite in the series 😅
@@Paraspectre still one of the worst movies ever made though……
@@GeorgeZimmermen what are your thoughts on the Silent Hill movies?
@@Paraspectre never saw them. I usually hate horror movies because most of them are b movie garbage. I love when they are done right but they rarely are.
14th comment swag
sorry im late
This was my first Resident Evil game and honestly the game that set my personal benchmark for what a remake should me. Never really got into survival horror games because I just couldn't get accustomed to traditional tank controls, but the Type C option in REmake was a huge game changer for me.
I feel like I struggled with tank controls on RE2, but didn’t seem to have a problem with this one
