Correction: Resident Evil came out in 1996. My memory failed me for a minute there! Appreciate those of you who kindly pointed that out. 👍
Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the story of how I got Resident Evil - Code: Veronica on my SEGA Dreamcast. This game is really special to me, and it's awesome to get to share these stories of Dad and my game crazy family. :-) Is Code: Veronica your favorite like it is mine? Are you going to play the new Resident Evil 8 that just dropped? Let me know. Thanks everyone.
Picked up RE8 yesterday, still haven’t played it yet,but I downloaded and installed it though. Code Veronica (PS2) is my favorite out of all them. RE2 is the runner up!
@@eastnewyorka22 I picked up RE8 too yesterday, that game is straight amazing!
I love how careful you were to take out and put in games with your dreamcast! I did and still do the same thing, shows how much you care!
@@Moco64 Nice!! I’m definitely playing today.
@@Moco64 it's not resident evil anymore, a survival horror gama only just an fpp shooter for call of duty lovers :/
You’ve probably received this comment a million times but you’re very lucky to have recorded memories like this.
Yes but it is very true. Thanks for watching
Your father seem like a mazing guy
AND to get FOUR games! 😂
Your DAD has that trait that every kid wish their DAD had
Isnt that the truth! My dad left me scared and full of anxiety. Step Dad was even worse. God bless the good Dads and those who were fortunate to have them. Dont take for granted a truly loving father.
@Craig Adams thanks so much for the grammar lesson
Glasses?
Though he has a lovable dad. Im thankful my dad didnt give me everything i wanted as a kid. Late in my years it made me strive for it and made me a better person.
Their*
To have a dad that is so genuinely interested in his son's hobbies is rare. I'm going to do my best to be like your dad!
he liked video games probably more than the kids lolol. Not taking anything away from him, but it's hard to force yourself to like your kids' hobbies when you just aren't into them. You can play some airsoft and paintball, and go along with the sports they take a liking to, but it's rare that a father back then loved gaming like this Dad did. Don't let that take away from your memories of your dad, I bet there was a ton that he pushed and took an interest in. My parents never got into gaming like I did. My grandma was my plug. But my parents did all sorts of other things to take a general interest in my hobbies, video games just wasn't one of them.
If you even try half as much as this Dad did, you will be seen as the coolest dude ever by your kids!
The dad is prolly bought the video games for his own sake. Same thing im doing for my son hahaha
Genuinely interested and understood memories… that’s powerful
@@penguinjay wise words man, and dont worry my dads cool! i get on better with him now than i ever did
Your dad said "this is the masterpiece of game filming". He was a RE fan 🥺
I love your dad even more now.
He was also nonbinary and gay!
Weirdo
@@nicolausteslaus get a better hobby sad act
@@nicolausteslaus you are talking about your dad?
@@WarlockGolems
I'm talking about your mom
Even though your dad could've never known, it's almost like he was trying to make us cry
❤️
Soooo true!
He's like the dad we always wanted
I can’t get over how cool your dad was. What a great birthday!
It was a GREAT one
Man as a father now and a big gamer all my life, these videos always hit me hard in the feels. I got misty eyed when he gave you that card. Makes me appreciate these moments I have with my son even more. We have been playing pokemon snap together. I plan on hanging pictures of pokemon around the house on his birthday morning in a few weeks and wake him up and let him have his own pokemon snap adventure. I was inspired because of these videos. Your dad truly is a legend and inspires me to a better and more patient father.
This is a great comment man. Thanks for saying what you said. I agree 💯
@@MyRetroLife I’m right there with him. This video makes me want to be the best father I can be when the time comes. After having a dad that wants little to do with me my whole life it’s really nice seeing this and makes me want to be the best I can be when it’s my time.
Thats a nice idea
Hey man. I'm from Sweden and I just recently stumbled across your videos. I'm 40 years old and Ive been in the exact same situations throughout the years with the releases of the new consoles. Sadly without a camera. I'm a grown man, but your videos made me very emotional and I just wanted to thank you for every single one of them. I'm so sorry you lost your father, mine is 73 and you never know how long he will be around... Thanks again. Sincerely... Kristian
I wish I could be a dad someday, but I think I will never have this option in my destiny, Never found a good woman, and now almost 30s, I'm too old for this.
Man you had the coolest dad ever man. Such a wholesome video, actually makes you happy to watch this.
Thanks Sparky
His dad was also nonbinary and gay!
These always make me happy then instantly sad since we all know dads passed :(
Thanks man - He would love to know so many people enjoy watching the home movies he shot, the passion he had for video games and life. :-)
@@MyRetroLife little did he know thousands of people watched
@@PlayStopRewindFilms Seriously I get emotional watching your dads home videos. Tyler Dad feels like America’s dad a hardworking person who is a good man and especially he loves his children and his family. ❤️🇺🇸
I wish I got to see him
@@MyRetroLife Just posted a beautiful/personal comment that I wanted to make sure you get a chance to see at some point. So I am also marking you in a another comment because we all know how finicky RUclips can be 😂.
Don't ever delete this channel your dad was way beyond his time Recording these home videos of his happiest moments with you,, these videos are priceless but at the same time the closest thing we have to time travel.. I remember when those Bday/Xmas cards were a thing I think they were the ones you could make on your PC and print and fold super cool!
the fact this game is 22 years old still looks amazing
….. not only was your dad a great father, you were a Phenomenal Kid! The genuine love and respect for one another in this video was joyful for me to watch. Thank you.
If you were 14 in 2000 then you would only be a year older than me.. I can tell just from watching this we grew up with a very similar lifestyle, and a love and deep nostalgia for every thing gaming. Your father’s mannerisms and everything are all so much like my dads, it’s crazy.. My father passed away in 2018 and I really wish I had something like this to remember him by. This video touched me.. Every thing about it feels so familiar
Same here!
He’s a year younger than me but same!!
I was 15 when resident evil code Veronica came out here in the states which actually might make us the same age since he always got games imported from Japan and stuff?!
Yep! He's also 1 year older than me. I was 12 when the 2000s begun.
My dad had me when he was 38 years old. Thankfully, my dad is still very strong at 73 and I don't see any difference betweem him at 73 and 50. Hope I have my parents for many years to come!
Sorry for your loss 😔🙏 I can't imagine losing a parent. I don't know if I would be able to overcome it...
@@Seroxm13 Same, I was 13 in 2000 with a single divorced Dad and a Dreamcast kid, though I didn't develop a love of Resident Evil until my 30s, but we both had a deep love of videogames and played everything together, particularly the NBA, NFL & NHL 2K-2K2 games as well as Crazy Taxi, Jet Grind Radio & Skies of Arcadia. That was an awesome year. We probably built up a library of about 25 Dreamcast games in that one year alone. I still remember when Kay Bee Toys were selling Dreamcast games buy one get two free. Crazy...
So lucky to have had a dad so invested in what you were interested in and who filmed all this stuff to document. I love this so much, so nostalgic.
I teared up at the end, man. You’re Dad seemed like such a loving, caring guy. What a legacy, and what a great way to keep that legacy going than by sharing it with us. Cheers, man
Amazing footage from distant times. How I miss the 90s/early 00s. Your dad seems like a wonderful guy. Thanks for this small trip back to simpler days.
You’re welcome and I miss those days too
Man... your dad is shining down on you proud of you making these videos.
🙏
"You're the best" - Yep, that did it for me.
Hits me right here -> ❤️
Dude, your dad was the man! You were absolutely blessed to have such an awesome father.
It is so amazing to see the original reaction to this game. The part when you said "wow" and the graphics got me haha
Code Veronica is amazing and your channel is amazing
@@White927 Going to say no on that. This is the worst one of the originals. Re 4 is a lot better than this one.
@@White927 So 1st off my favorite Re game is Re 2 the Original one for PS1. I like the camera angles in those ones as you can see everything. I don't like 5 & 6. While I do like Code Veronica because it is like the other Re games in terms of the Camera Angle that you see everything. I just feel that 4 is better because of the story & it more exploring I feel. Code Veronica I feel has way to much back tracking in the game. Again my favorite Re game is RE 2 for PS1.
Didnt expect to see you here kai
@renato sparrow Yeah Resident Evil 3 the Original one is good. So if you like that one or think it's good. That's great. That is pretty much the same as 1-2 original.
Are kidding me Code Veronica is trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That card at the end gave me some tears. I truly love this series.
Thanks Bob thanks 🙏
I miss those special days on your birthday, going out to eat or seeing a movie with my dad or uncle. Things have changed so much from our teenager years up until now. Code Veronica was a sight to see, but I love seeing the relationship you had with your dad the most in this video. Your cousins too.♥️
Those were my Wonder Years man. Thanks for watching!
Your videos make me emotional because they mirror my childhood as well. My dad - just like yours - loved video games, and I always had the latest and greatest thanks to him. Fathers like ours were very special, and we were sooooo lucky to have them as dads.
Yeah man 💯percent - Thanks for watching and saying that
Unbelievably jealous of this type of memory, so sorry to hear that he has already passed but goodness what a wonderful memory to be able to have.
Thanks man
You made your Dad immortal, he'd be proud.
Being born in 1987 this makes me feel total nostalgia. Nothing like making home movies with family friends back then lol.
I'm pretty sure all of us that watch this channel was born around that exact time era
@@maralinekozial9131 No one takes you seriously saying a reply like that... Does your Mom know you have her phone?
@@DKFlax it's my sister's phone , mine is broken & a have a new one but I don't feel like making a 50th RUclips account just yet so how's that for serious???
This really hit me hard. My dad used to surprise me with video games all the time when I was a kid. I grew up in the early 2000s , so this era and time really stuck with me .. I used to be so scared to play RE as a kid it was so cool watching u play. Thank u for this
"Double Uzi Mama" is the only way she will be referred to from now on.
Absolutely!
Dammit, Tyler. The clip where you got your birthday card from your dad broke me.
Hits me hard ❤️
@@MyRetroLife 🤗 ❤️
It broke me too. I haven't been able to cry in so long. 😭❤️
@@cptburr 🤗 🤗
Dude, I love your dad's enthusiasm and passion for gaming, the fact he left Code: Veronica till night time shows he knew his stuff! I bought CV on Dreamcast on release day and it blew my mind, the level of detail at the time was unlike anything else I'd seen or played. Your dad was an awesome guy!
You had the coolest dad.. that's how i am with my son... got him into numerous games in hopes he grows a healthy passion for them.
I know you've heard this a million times, but what an absolute Champ of a dad you had! In Retrospect, it's really sad to hear him say that he's "living borrowed time" :(
Love that your Dad made all these home videos of you and your games!
Truly a gift he left behind!
This game is what made me buy a Dreamcast.
Awesome. NFL 2K did it for me
Me too
Marvel vs capcom for me
Sonic Adventures for me but would’ve been this game for sure
Me too
These videos make me miss the 90s.
Back when we weren't constantly connected or online. We were more isolated in a sense. Back when we would play games together sitting on the floor with a few controllers.
I miss the simpler times. Things moved so much slower. People were happier, hands down.
This brings back so many memories of my Dad and I playing the original Resident evil games together. I remember when Resident evil 3 released, Dad bought it but had to be at work early the next day so he wouldn't let me play it because he wanted to play it with me lol. He went as far as to fall asleep with the game that night and i of course snuck the game from him that night and played it. We had a great time playing it the next day though and Nemesis was terrifying. I remember all of this so vividly even though it was in 1999. You're very lucky that your Dad thought to record these moments with you.
I love all of these videos. Your dad was the man! He seems like he was a great parent and a lot of fun to be around. I’m so happy he documented all of these moments, you’re a lucky guy!
Thanks man. I really am and I’m so thankful for them
I got a PAL copy of Resi: Code Veronica on Dreamcast at launch, but managed to lock myself in room as I forgot to pick up a key, and dumbass me always only ever used one save slot in a game. So I gave up from there.
But I hear it's the next "remake" planned.
So a buddy of mine when he first got the game - he bought a Dreamcast for the game but forgot to buy a memory card. He couldn’t afford one so he tried to play through Code Veronica in one sitting. The tragic part is he got all the way to the sniper boss and forgot to grab the Sniper rifle weapon!
Thanks Larry!
I wish they would do a remake or new game in the classic Resi visual style
They have to remake it for the sake of continuity.
RE4 remake will be next unfortunately.
@Craig Adams actually if u forget to store the fire extinguisher in the chest it can cause big issues late game without the magnum the last 3rd is hella hard
Your dad is a keeper! ❤️ I fully echo your feelings about RE: Code Veronica! As much as I love many other entries of the series, CV will remain as the most special RE experience for me.
You had an amazing father, it's obvious le really loved you and made each moment matter; it's really cool he made the home videos for you to have into the future, he wanted to make sure you had a reference to relive those great times when you miss seeing him. I lost my mother early in my teens, she was the same way but didn't make many family videos, but she loved games too and acted similarly to your father (another 1990s - 2000s childhood). Thank you for sharing your family memories of RE:CV.
That ending is perhaps the most touching clip of MRL yet. It makes me want to forgive my own father while I can.
This comment was touching too bro 🙏
Dude, Code Veronica for the Dreamcast was the first game I ever pre ordered. Absolutely love this game!
It was a defining Dreamcast game until it got released on multi platform
@@MyRetroLife Watching your video reminded me of the hype behind it, kind of forgot about it. I beat that game so many times when it came out. Eating hot Cheetos and listening to hair metal! haha
Me too👍
What an awesome dad you got. He sounds like a good man.
I was 11 years old in 1999. I was still playing my SNES. I didn't get PS1 until the year 2000. Unfortunately my dad didn't buy me a lot of video games. He hated video games and didn't like that I was wasting times playing them instead of focusing on school work. He would reluctantly buy me one new game if I had good grades on my report card or Christmas if he feels like it. Growing up I miss out on some of the big classics like Resident Evil.
Same sounds like you have an asian dad too
@@XChronicHash I come from a Vietnamese family 😊
I was about to turn 30 when Code Veronica came out, and what a great week the week I got it was !! Such fond memories of working through that game, it could be tough at points !!! As others have said the video memories you have here are just amazing !!!!
More treasured memories, thank you for sharing.
Absolutely Steve
I actually kinda like the acting of the little pretend resident evil movie you did it has a kind of Disney channel movie like quality to it cheesy but kind of charming in a so bad it’s good kind of way
Your Dad was a great man. That is so cool. Glad you shared this with us man. I appreciate this a lot. Code Veronica is a fantastic game. For me personally, Resident Evil the original was the best experience for me.
Thanks man. Code Veronica is definitely my favorite in the series. The story is what makes it great
The ending got me good The save room theme brings back so much Nostalgia and also your Dad was the Man perfect example of a Father 🤘🙌
I cant wait to have kids to do this for them
💯
Awesome video, Tyler! Such an awesome Dad, he put so much thought and care into planning everything perfectly for your birthday.
Thank you Kevin! Yep, the last part of this one hits me hard
The fact that he waited until night proves that he was a true gamer and understood the appeal of Resident Evil, even if I was to be given that as a gift nobody I'd know would understand to give that at night
That's a heart-warming video. Code Veronica is my second favorite after RE Remake. Good to see classic RE fans.
You know your geek level is off the charts when you have this content, gotta love it
Wow even i got teared up at the end! Amazing job as usual Tyler!
Thanks so much
So cool seeing the Dreamcast in action, would love to see more Dreamcast related videos!
Thanks man! Definitely more to come
I got this game in 2000 and it was the most obsessed I've ever been probably before a game release. I read the same articles about CV over and over, couldn't wait to play it and it was totally worth it when I got it on release. These videos truly take me back, man what amazing memories. When I watch your videos It takes me right back to those times.
I've never seen your content before and this was just awesome. Loved this video. I missed code veronica at launch and by time i played it, I couldn't understand why ppl held it in such high regard. This perspective changed how I looked at it. I think i was bitter I couldn't play it at release and had too wait a while.
Thanks man and I’m glad the video helped shine some light on why this game is so special!
I say this everytime I comment, but man the nostalgia I get vicariously through these videos makes me want to happy cry. I'm a similar age to you, and had a similar youthful affection for games along your same timeline. So these videos truly remind me of how I felt about the same games back then. God bless your dad for making all of these videos ❤️
Thanks James really appreciate it man
Another wonderful video Tyler. I lost my dad a few years back and some of the best times of my life were playing games with him. Its lovely you have so many wonderful memories kept on tape that you can cherish forever. Keep up the great work mate!
Sorry for your loss Matthew. I am extremely lucky to have the videos. Hang in there man
I was introduced to the greatest horror franchise I could’ve ever known, through Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. And I don’t regret not listening to my parents when they said I can’t play it. Waited for them to be asleep & snuck into my brothers room at like 2 AM, me & my siblings booted that up & were TERRIFIED of a lot of the jump scares & Nemesis himself. But god……. Resident Evil is EVERYTHING to me & will ALWAYS be. Also spawned my absolute love for horror in any form I could get it.
SAME!!!! It changed my life. Mine was RE1 in 96.
Me and my cousin borrowed it. We were 14 and too scared to even go through the doors.
This is a absolute gem of a video. I love Code Veronica it's my favorite RE still and love you can share this experience.
Appreciate that man!
I remember hearing Resident Evil would shift to the Dreamcast and knew I had to play RE CV, it was not until i had the PS2 I finally got to play it with a new difficulty curve....and yes I forgot the fire extinguisher 😄. I have played RE since I got the Directors Cut in the UK (fortunately the better one with Original Music) it too scared me lights out and head phones. But I did it. Each game has Ben a catharsis, a safe way of being sacred. The story and surviving is what has kept me a fan all this time.
Thank you Tyler I did wonder if your were going to touch upon my Favourite franchise. 👍
You’re welcome Seany
Tyler's great. I wish I'd have had him as a mate growing up
Thanks man
Watching your videos is like stepping into a time machine and going back to a time where I was a bit too young to remember these things that well myself. I’m so glad you have all this footage, thank you so much for sharing
Thanks Lucian - My pleasure to share
Your dad was great at surprises! It really warms my heart to witness the beautiful father and son bonding in your videos. Exceptional memories.
Code Veronica really was marvelous for it’s time. Cheers!
These videos are the best! I love watching the journey you had with your dad and gaming, it's so cool how you have all of this stuff recorded! ;)
Thanks man!
Lmao I thought my siblings, cousins and I were the only goofs that made an RE inspired movie 😂
We made a movie called Zombie Brother and uploaded it to RUclips in '06. I tried to find it but no luck 😕
Oh man would like to see that!
These videos are a truly homage to parenting done well. Makes me think about my son. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate that Douglas. Dad was a master at parenting
Thank you my man, watching this video took my ass down memory lane. I remember watching my older brother buy and play RE Code: V for the Dreamcast back when it was first released.
This was my first RE title I owned for the Dreamcast. Thanks for this memory lane clip man. That ending though...feels. Since the pandemic started you have become my favorite RUclipsr. Truly awesome! keep it up buddy!
Hey man thanks for saying that! Glad you’re enjoying the videos
One of my favorite dreamcast games. An excellent video as always Tyler!
Same. It's still easily the best version because the PS2 and Gamecube ports look horrible and they conpletely lost the Dreamcast look.
This was such a beautiful travel back to those days , I just remembered when My mom gave me the Playstation as a Christmas gift I know it wasnt easy for her to buy that at that time specially in Colombia.
We should alwayas really appreciate all the efforts from our parents to make us happy.
Suscribed!
The end was the best part.. hearing you read the card from your father. My family never did anything remotely close to that for me. But MY daughter? She knows her daddy is proud of her!
I need a super cut of your Resident “Knievel” home movies. The acting was at least on par with Are You Afraid of the Dark? 😂
Haha right?! Thanks man
Your dad is absolutely awesome for being so perceptive and accepting of your passion for videogames. I love my dad but he, like many parents of that time, showed a great disdain towards video games and limited my access to them. It’s definitely cool to see someone be able to share the experience of playing a new game with a parent. I’m a bit jealous.
So many memories of playing Resident Evil 1-3, and CODE: Veronica. Man, I still think that the first few games are the best in the series. I never had any problems with the tank controls and fixed camera angles; the latter just felt right for these games where if you go around the corner and the screen shifts to a zombie in your face.
Yep you nailed it
Man I really can relate to EXACTLY how you felt getting and playing resident evil games! I think I'm a little bit older than you I'm 37 but the nostalgia you brought to me in that re code Veronica game is absolutely priceless!!! I'm a fan now of your channel I've gotta admit. I really wish my parents would've been able to filmed or even owned a video camera back then. But hey, at least I was able to have all the systems and games I wanted. Your dad is truly a Rockstar! Best gift I can still remember to this day was at Christmas. My dad got me resident evil 2 and metal gear solid! Epic Christmas nonetheless. Thanks again for the wonderful trip down memory lane.
Seriously this is such a great video! so much great nostalgia :) I was 20 at the time and I remember very well the first time i payed Code Veroniva with my best friend on our beloved Sega Dreamcast. For me, this was the last true episode of the Resident evil series. Mentally i still stuck in those days, times that I loved so much and times when the games and consoles were great.
I agree about this one feeling like the last true Resident Evil before things started to change drastically
Last generation of console when we got a finished game on release day not a 3 hour download before playing!
Thank you so much for reminding us what this original Resident Evil, heck this previous era of Resident Evil meant to people and how effective it was, especially for back in those days. Nowadays, people can try out this original game along with some of the other older ones and giggle at it, not understanding what they did accomplish. It's a bit crazy to know that even with all that fear those games gave you, you came back to it, remembered them and embraced them. Thank you for sharing this part of your life as a gamer in this era!! Thanks to your dad for sharing his biggest passion which now carries to many others.
Oh, and Rayman 2... I gotta mention it, I absolutely love this game to pieces. A wonderful one!
I appreciate this comment Pierre-Lic thank you man
Bro you have an awesome dad. I’m 39 and even tho my parents couldn’t afford the Dreamcast along with code Veronica. Me and my brother always had friends that had new games we liked. It actually worked out smoothly.😆
Loved this video. Brings back a lot of childhood memories of my own. Thanks for making and sharing it!
I love sharing these memories! Thanks for watching
Brilliant video. I’m sure your Dad would be very proud of everything you’ve been doing on RUclips. This video reminds me of all the times my Dad would sit with me whilst I played on my Dreamcast and other consoles throughout my life. RE CV was such a huge experience on the DC when it came out.
Appreciate you saying that. Man I love this game. Getting the footage for the video made me want to play it all the way through
Man this is sooooo so real and relatable. I lived so many moments like this that my parents never recorded. I feel things watching this. Thank you so much for sharing.
That was absolutely terrific! Thanks for sharing that memory with us.
You’re absolutely welcome!
Your dad was awesome. That's one hell of a birthday. Your retro videos remind me a little bit of my childhood because i think we are around the same age. I was huge into Resident evil games as a kid. I ended up getting code veronica on the ps2 when they ported it there.
you brought tears to my eyes man!! for the rest of us watching, give your old man a big hug every day of your lives!!
I played Code Veronica for the first time when I was 29 years old. I wish I could have played it when it released to create beautiful memories. It's such a great game. Thank you for this awesome video.
Are kidding me Code Veronica is trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ve a buscar atencion con tus padres que te abandonaron
@@danconnolly737sounds like it is to hard for you 🤷♂️
Dude, I gotta' tell ya, you and I are approximately the same age, and your videos are practically like therapy for me. We had a fun family dynamic much like yours, along with those instances where my Dad would buy a game, hide it somewhere in the house, and I'd have to find it (in that case it was VALIS 3 on the Genesis). Keep making these videos. Your Dad was a heck of a guy, and your family and friends are just awesome.
Damn, you got three brand new games for your Birthday? Right on, dude. I once got three brand new games for Christmas, but it was only one time. Christmas 2006. Mortal Kombat Armageddon (Collector's Edition!!!), Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2, and WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2007. I was so happy, I felt like I had it all that Christmas. Next Christmas, I got a PS3!!! Christmas 2008, I got my final real big Christmas gift from my parents... the Xbox 360 Elite. After that, my parents got sicker and older, and we got poorer. Still, I had a spoiled life, I consider. Am still so thankful to my parents taking out loans and working their asses off to spend their last dollar on something they knew nothing about, just for me.
Sorry, when I get started on something I just sorta ramble. I love watching Birthday and Christmas openings. Thank you for sharing. :)
I can't believe we got a new 'Watch it Buddy' line!
I was surprised when I heard it while making this!
@@MyRetroLife Can’t wait for that part now if I can ever make it past 6:39.
Such an awesome little video! While I was two years older, I had a similar experience with CV myself. I think I may have gotten it either of my b-day or Christmas.
Either way, this game blew my socks off back in the day. No other RE game has came close, minus maybe RE8 or RE2 remake.
With the Revelations titles coming close, largely due to RE:R2’s awesome raid mode and both of the games interesting mechanics.
I remember Code Veronica on dreamcast was pretty good graphics back in the day for its machine, loved the 2 smg's at beginning of the game
Just ordered this game off eBay for my Dreamcast! Your video here has me so hyped to play it for the first time. Thanks for sharing these stories.
I relate with these videos so much I choke up from my memories.
I’m not crying you’re crying! 😭
:-)
My first RE game was RE2. I didn't have the PS1 back then, so I played it at a friend's house. He didn't know english -we're latinos- so he invited me to help him. It was stunning, since I used to love zombie movies and the game was like an interactive movie. You were in the middle of the chaos, alone. A few years later, I got a part time job and bought my own PS1, and I could finally play RE1 and RE3. Today, I'm a huge fan of the series. Code Veronica blew my mind back then. Thanks for bringing back such awesome memories. I love your channel!
Little did your dad know that he wouldnt just make his kid happy, but all of us happy!! I can't wait to do this with My newly born kid. Thanks for sharing
This is awesome, reminds me of my relationship with my father. My dad always pulled off those surprises on me and we are both gamers. Hell I am 34 years old and a father now with a 12 year old daughter and my father still surprise me with stuff XD
Aww man this was amazing, I love that you made your own Resident Evil movies! Code Veronica is my favourite Resident Evil too 😍 I prefer the movie inspired camera angles to the more generic gaming ones from 4 onwards, and Code Veronica having the full 3d backgrounds allowing subtle camera movements improves the effect tenfold.
I'm a few years older and I think I was 18 when it came out. I was going on holiday without my parents to a holiday camp where I had a few friends who always went to the same place and we'd agreed to meet, this was our first times going to that place without parents. I'd saved up £50 for beer money for the long weekend (Friday to Monday). However, on the first day we went out shopping and I saw a demo pod running Code Veronica and was absolutely blown away by the graphics and atmosphere, I HAD to buy it IMMEDIATELY and spent all my beer money. We spent the entire trip playing the game all sat round a CRT TV, drinking and shouting at the tv solving the puzzles together. The other dudes let me share their beers, as they were happy to play the game all weekend! It was such a blast.
One of my friends had his you get sister there with him too, I think she was about 14. She wanted to watch and I remember clear as day how she physically jumped in fright off the sofa in the caravan when the dogs burst through the window. That was the first time I'd ever seen anyone actually jump like in a cartoon 😂
Thanks bro! Appreciate the comment
How nice to have all those memories... what a dad !!
What an awesome dad! I too was lucky to have great parents like this! I’ll never forget the Christmas where I asked for the psone with the attachable screen and with resident evil and metal gear and Megaman x5 . I got all of it that Christmas. Was so awesome of my parents to go all out like that for me.
