RE0 is the definition of a flatline experience for me. I don't really hate it, nor do I really enjoy it. It's a game that exists...but maybe you feel differently.

I personally feel like it mostly succeeds on an aesthetic level. The OST is amazing, the art style is timeless and the locations are properly eerie and atmospheric. I also just love Rebecca. Its a fun game to just sink time into and explore and read the notes
It’s a meh game
Don't like it but still prefer it to 7 & 8. 8 is Resi by committee IMO. TBF Resi 5 and 6 felt like Resi by committee but I enjoyed them as action games somewhat.
Okay, but what about all MGS games video?
@@user-gu5dv7vj8r I honestly hate it. The item drop mechanic alone makes it unplayable at points
I really had to roll my eyes at the opening when Enrico split up the team and sent a teenage girl with no combat experience to hunt down a marine veteran who they think is a mass murderer that just killed to MP's. It makes it very hard to suspend my disbelief and accept that STARS are actually elite professionals, when they show all the Special Tactics of a group of councillors at Crystal Lake.
Especially since Rebecca is THE MOTHERFUCKING MEDIC! Plus they really screwed Bravo team here as they focused so much on Billy (who I feel should have gotten his own game and NOT been shoehorned into this one) and the game should have been Rebecca working with different STARS Bravo members (Like Forrest and Enrico, not Kenneth as he's too much the J. Frost of the series alongside said man in being killed off to horrify you with your first encounter of the killer! AKA the iconic First Zombie encounter) with you losing control of the extras as the others meet their canon fates and the final battle separates Rebecca from the rest (That happy like ending for RE0 was silly because you knew Rebecca was just jumping into one oven into another! Should have run off with Billy...unless he got killed by all the "other BOW" roaming the area that Alpha team unfortunately ran into the night of that day Rebecca went into the mansion! That would explain why we never heard from him again....because if we did then Rebecca SHOULD have run off with him seeing how she had to get LUCKY Chris saved her ass and Wesker fucked up his shot in shooting to kill her!) I mean in this way we get to see HOW Enrico started to come to the conclusion their was a traitor in STARS and how they got set up! (I get his hostility to Chris and calmness with Jill was because he dismissed Jill as the traitor while Chris if I remember was too new to Alpha team that he hadn't vetted Chris as a suspect by the time they ran into each other in Chris Scenario! But I would love to SEE this setup instead of having to think it up myself from what I know!)
Wesker splitting everyone up in RE1 DID Make some sense (though Jill and/or Chris should have at least PROTESTED this order abit though to be fair they were split up in checking the nearby DININING ROOM area and didn't expect Wesker to run off like he did! Barry acting as he did made sense and he did defy Wesker's orders from time to time such as saving Jill from the Shotgun room provided you go for it RIGHT THEN AND THERE during a Jill run and not wait till he's "legitimately unavailable" to go for it WITHOUT the Fake to put in it's place!) Chris is kind of a dope for not suspecting Wesker till the twist. While Jill was the quickest to suspect (though out of fairness if I remember Wesker and Chris had the better work relationship, while Jill and Wesker were already hostile outside of orders, so once she figured Barry out as a traitor and Enrico's death by gun shot and later ironing Barry out as the one who shot him, it was easy for her to figure Wesker was the most sus, and the picture of him and the other scientists outright CONFIRMED it for her! Hence her being completely hostile to Wesker when you ran into him, while Chris was still in abit of disbelief till Wesker made it alot more clear...especially shooting Rebecca so coldly as he did!).
@@paulman34340 Up until recently, I thought Barry always saved Jill from the shotgun room. Then recently, I played a little differently, meeting him in the main hall before entering the shotgun room. I entered the room, grabbed the shotgun, and left without a care in the world, and got crushed to death. I was stunned. I actually yelled "what the fuck was that" in disbelief at the screen😅
@@ansionnachbeagrioga5260 Okay that was funny! I ended up finding that out back on the PS1 version that if you go for the Shotgun AFTER a certain point with Jill....you'd meet the same fate as you would as Chris without that Fake Shotgun! Like yourself, I believed you could get the Shotgun as Jill without a problem at anytime....so thanks for being the example for me my friend LOL
Totally agree. Also, what police department is hiring 18 year olds? Let’s alone to a SWAT or special weapons group? Most places REQUIRE a 4 year degree or 4 years of military and then you’ll still be training for 6 months to a year. You’d be lucky to be 25 walking into the front line role
@@kyledodson2992 If I remember, STARS was meant to be "Anti-Terrorists" and if I remember many have done Military before their assignment to the squad (Chris is former Air Force, Don't know about Jill since she previously had Delta Training till that was retcon because the time period in her background made that impossible, but I still think their is some military with her), and their ages fit enough that you can't really question how any of them made the cut (Kevin from Outbreaks backstory also showed that even regular officers can get assigned if they make the cut! Shows Wesker was willing to look for "Guinea Pigs" even among the RPD if they "fit his profiling").
This is why she's the odd-woman out! Even if a Genius in chemistry and medical, that really wouldn't change the fact that it was stated each of the members, yes even Brad (say what you will, but he DID stay around the area looking for the team to the point he was almost out of gas by the point you make your escape at the end of RE1, so he wasn't a complete cowardly ass) and speaking of years, I don't think genius no matter how young would be allowed to "skip through" the years she would have had to gone through to be accepted in Medical either! Rebecca is a complete plot hole that could still be fixed if they aged her up abit near Jill age so we'd stop wondering alot of these's questions (and as this review pointed out, she was WAY to chill and calm running into HER FIRST ZOMBIE! Much different then the older Jill who froze up against her first Cerberus encounter needing to get saved less she suffer Frost's fate, Chris dropped his fucking gun, and you'd think he'd have it more secured even if he was running away in panic...speaking of him, I have to wonder why an Air Force man would be on the Team, likely to be Brad backup if another pilot was needed, But does he have Helicopter training?)
I wouldve loved to see this game today as a coop game. Playing through this with a buddy would be so much better I think
Yes, as long as it was optional.
It already is a co-op game.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 Well, the version I have doesn't have a co-op mode.
@@ansionnachbeagrioga5260 It's singular co-op. You control both players.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 That's not what co-op means. Co-op, cooperative gaming , means cooperation with another gamer. If we use your definition, of a single player using multiple characters, then that would include games like FIFA, The Sims, Final Fantasy, and so on.
Funny enough I felt the same way about RE4s potential for being scary.
When your lead character is doing spin kicks and suplexing their enemies all fear basically evaporates
Even the enemies themselves evaporate after killing them
Played it in VR last month. The scariest things are the small sections with the chainsaw ganados, the big fish and the noisy regenerators.
And this reminded me that those 3 were the only thing scary back then as well. Scary might be wrong tho, maybe it's more like putting you under pressure. So or so I guess you're right
I mean, you can kick and suplex regular enemies but not things like the Regenerator, so the game still scary but only is some sections
I felt that one of the scariest parts of that game was when you take control of Ashley in the dark corriders where the knights come to life and follow you.
@@ayrtonjoga Those creepy bastards are one of my favourite monsters in the franchise.
The best looking RE with pre-rendered backgrounds for sure.
I really wish Capcom would at least make one last fix camera angle game with the technology of 2022 I bet they can make something truly amazing because the less control you have over your character viewpoint the more scary it is. I understand the fix camera angles were there so the developer would say this is what we want you to see. Which created a sense of atmosphere not seeing what was at the end of the hallway when you heard a noise
@@redseagaming7832 Just play Tormented Souls. It's close enough to a classic resident evil game.
@@Demonfireangel but I would like to see a Resident Evil game do it again I already play tormented Souls it's awesome
Nah the best is the REmake 2002
@@victorvondoom4882 RE 0 and RE 1 remake still better than RE 4, RE 0 and RE 1 remake is in the same statement but RE 0 is more awesome.
Ah yes, the hookshot. The thing used so infrequently and so few times at that you wonder why it even needed to be an item, one that takes two slots at that. It's like they wanted to aggravate the players.
The moment Craig said "hookshot", I groaned.
I always thought it made more sense for Enrico to have been in Rebecca's shoes in 0. You have that moment in the original where he tries to tell Chris or Jill about a conspiracy before getting shot, presumably by Wesker. If Enrico had been in Rebecca's shoes in RE0, seeing his death in RE1 would retroactively feel like a culmination of those events AND preserve the consistency of Rebecca's behavior between 0 and 1.
Ngl a I would've prefer RE0 than RE1 if the character we play in 0 were him
Not sure that would have fit with the series attitude though. Part of the reason they called the games "survival horror" is that there's a large emphasis on the, well, survival. They want the game to be challenging and tense and dark, but ultimately be something you can pull through and overcome. So playing as a character we know is fated to die would have gone against that philosophy.
This is not to say it would be a bad idea, I'm just explaining why the creators wouldn't gave wanted to go down that route.
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 I guess that’s why Billy exists, because his fate can’t be inferred beforehand. And then the series forgot about him lol
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502Yeah that's why Rebecca Chambers was the only viable option, because She was the STARS Bravo Team's only survivor, so it only makes sense for the story to be told from Her point of view
Fun fact: The giant Scorpion boss fight in the train can be stunlocked to death with only a knife.
If you play RE games mostly for the atmosphere, this is a good one to play.
Atmosphere in a game to me is like the editing in a film. I think it's extremely underappreciated, and some of my all-time favorites are elevated by how well it's done, but just because that specific element is good doesn't mean I like to sit through the whole thing.
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 that's fair. I sometimes boot up an atmospheric game just for a few hours because it makes me feel something REZero and REmake give me a very specific type of nostalgia that I can't explain.
@@instrumentaldude8349 agree. Its underrated. I like how challenging it is.
@@user-gu5dv7vj8r couldn't agree more. Even after all my playthroughs, this game still is challenging cause you realy have to focus on wich items you bring with you and wich not. Always keep focus on when to use the other character and such. I mean there is always a tension you have when playing this game wich I love! 🙂
@@instrumentaldude8349 You don't understand...
while commenting under a video specifically meant to explain why
As much as I can always find flaws with zero, it. Looks. GORGEOUS.
I can imagine how jaw dropping it looked in 2002 even tho its pre-render
It's funny. For all it's faults, I still love RE0. The pre-rendered backgrounds are the best this series has ever produced. YES EVEN BETTER THAN REmake! I said it and I regret nothing. The inventory management is a bitch though, I'll give you that.
I don't think that's a particularly controversial statement. No one is denying the game looks gorgeous, the issue is the design.
It looks a bit better than RE1R graphically, but the environments / areas, atmosphere and ambience are nowhere as well-designed or as iconic as the Spencer Mansion. Zero goes with CV as one of the few Resident Evil games that are more frustrating to play than not because of bad gameplay design and poor balancing for me
@@Strizz484I will never argue with anyone with regards to the gameplay but you are wrong when it comes to the game's ambiance. The prerendered backgrounds in REmake are gorgeous but they haven't aged as gracefully as they have RE0. Certain rooms (like the shark tank area), look like washed out matte paintings. RE0 by comparison utilized proper 3d design for their pre-rendered backgrounds and character models don't clash with the environment the same way they did in REmake.
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502but that is all people use to say the game is bad when it's not
I know a fair amount of people don't care much for RE0, but I really like it.
Dope man, good for you. 👍
Yeah, I love it!
agreed, i prefer it to code veronica at least
agree, those resistant to change😄
It's a good game I've enjoying it alot, except 1 main thing non existent Item Box for sure
Odd that Chris and Rebecca interact through much of their encounter at the mansion and she never mentioned any of this
"Chris I had to fight a crazy guy in a bathrobe that turned into a giant leech."
Chris: You feeling alright Rebecca?
@@Xehanort10"Jjajajajajaa Rebecca, you're pathetic"
LOVED this game, and still do. When this released alongside the Remake they solidified themselves as the best titles in the series, hands down. The appreciation persists till this day.
I definitely relate to feeling indifferent towards 0. This video reminded me that I started replaying it two years ago, got to the giant bat, and...yeah. One of my friends absolutely hates the game and any time it's brought up in conversation, will rage about it for hours. It's pretty ridiculous and I'm just over here like "it wasn't that bad. It wasn't good, but it wasn't THAT bad."
RE0 is still my fav game, from the oldies. But I think its because I was playing this with my cousin all night long and had a great time, so its such a lovely memory for me. I replayed it alone a year ago and still had a ton of fun, enjoyed it fully. The same stupid things are in it, like in the other games in the series, so I just did not take everything seriously. If you decide to play this gem, I wish you a great time and I promise you wont be disappointed.
I actually found my old GC and a copy of 0 recently. Even with composite cables on an old school crt the game looks incredible.
Man, I loved RE0 when it came out. No idea if I'd feel the same now. I was in exactly the right place for it at the time.
RE0 certainly has a lot of flaws, such as the frustrating inventory system, inconsistent partner mechanic, underwhelming boss battles and a mostly forgettable story. However, I still enjoy it due to the exploration, puzzles, ammo conservation and all of the other classic RE elements present in the game. RE0 definitely isn't as good as 1-3, Code Veronica or REmake, but I don't think it deserves to be written off entirely. I'll take this over RE6 any day of the week.
What did you make of 7 & 8 - personally I thought they were major missteps but I'm firmly in the minority in that one.
@@Grandmastergav86 I actually really loved 7 and 8. In my opinion, 7 was an excellent return to survival horror while 8 was a superb blend of elements from past games.
@@joshuanelson6795 lol 6 is better than 7 or 8
@@Stopcommentingthesamecomments *Strong* disagreement there.
@@tokyo3128 He is entitled to his opinion, though I rarely ever seem to agree with it.
I'm happy to see you've returned to reviewing this franchise, and I'd gladly see even more
Resident Evil 0 is my first game into the series, and I honestly love it. This felt more like a "realistic" RE game to me because of the lack of the interdimensional item boxes. The atmosphere is great and is STILL one of the most BEAUTIFUL horror games out there. I will honestly love this game to death and I will die on this hill.
I love this game. I had got into RE, my favorite game series, with REmake and this was the first new game to come out in the series after I got into it. I remember having a friend for a sleepover and playing the heck out of it until 4AM. The train was amazing, and the cut scene of Billy in Africa felt brutal (at the time).
I've never played Resident Evil 0 so this was quite informative and fun to watch
You realy should give it a try. 🙂
You should play it!
This was the last real Resi game made...
I have it on GameCube.
if you haven’t played it already…don’t it’s not worth it. after the train sequence (best part of the game & actually fun) this game becomes extremely boring/annoying. it looks great but that’s it.
@@KingJadInfiniteHope
I disagree.
Re: Zero was the last resident evil game Capcom made. After zero it was that action shooter resident evil 4 and they started to move away from survival horror in 4,5,6 and the series started to become more of an action game. Easy to see when you compare them to the first resi game.
There really isn't any replayability with zero for me but due to it being the last entry in the series I feel it's worth a play through.
@@umbrellacorporationwuhanfa3731 RE4 is light years better than zero. 5 is trash unless you play it with a friend & 6 shouldn’t even be talked about. 4 is great tho.
RE0 definitely had its flaws but it was still a fantastic game in my opinion. I'm sure no true RE fan forgot about Zero
No, but I'm sure they'd like to.
@@xymos7807 nope, i'll never forget this game. i honestly want to see it get a remake but i doubt it
If I remember right, the reason for Rebecca's personality change from brave heroine in 0 to damsel in distress in RE1 was because (I forgot which game explained this) in RE1 she was exausted from all the events from RE0. Guess it makes sense? Still doesn't explain a lot of things.
or maybe because the writers of RE1MAKE didn't take into account RE0 storyline, they just knew she was a "rookie" so they portrayed her like that, we gotta remember that RE0 came out AFTER RE1MAKE
The worst part is that it wouldn't have taken much effort in REmake to back up Rebecca's RE0 persona. Change of dialogue and show her actively fighting off the hunter (still give the option to let her die) and it would have all fit together. It could have been a good hint, hint, nudge, nudge if she said, when meeting Chris, " this is nothing, you should have been here a few hours ago." Would have been good foreshadowing of things to come in RE0's release.
Before the revamp with re4, I think outbreak is the only game of the olden days that makes sense not to have global inventory boxes. It makes you plan out and decide what’s most important to you and your group’s limited inventory/time for a short self contained scenario. God I wish we had a reboot on modern hardware…
But yea, realizing the back tracking would be insane made me put the game down immediately.
Outbreak was absolutely great because each player played a role, such as holding keys or items, and most could only have one gun, I played that game so much online I skipped the guns, gave guns and ammo to other players, dodged every enemy and collected molotov cocktails for fun and used pipes and sticks as my weapons of choice.
I hope they rerelease it with online functionality, and hopefully it'll sell well enough for Capcom to make Outbreak 3.
Yes outbreack file 3 with same engine and design of file 2 and 3 becouse re engine sucks and is awfull shit
@@humanice2 Capcom should've remastered Outbreak instead of bunding RE3make with a shitty PvP shooter no one asked for.
The important thing to remember about no storage boxes is at the time a chunk of the RE fandom was howling for that. I wasn't, I thought it was a terrible idea, but I think Capcom did it once as a "be careful what you wish for". RE 4 did mostly solve the issue with a happy medium.
Resi 4's inventory was peak gameplay design. I love organizing my stuff in that game.
Honestly loved this game and was annoyed that zero didn't get a remake considering it's co-op potential as well a the wealth of story building.
Not going to lie I will always love Remake the most it was my first RE game but Zero is among my favorites.
Truth be told. I actually enjoyed RE0. Even then I kinda appreciated the choices that were made in regards to item dropping/trading and removing the item box, as well as switching between characters on the fly. For me it was an interesting concept and I liked the challenge. I thought the idea of incorporating more infected animals was great.. however I think the premise of suspension of disbelief is an issue in this game. For example, just the simple idea of where enemies are placed for one (the scorpion boss... in a train). All and all I had a good time with RE0, however personally my biggest gripe with this game is the main villain. In my opinion, one of the worst in the series, and a character that could've been completely removed from this game entirely and it probably wouldve made for a better experience; Emphasizing Rebecca's journey and behind the scenes moments between Wesker and Birkin, with the prototype Tyrant being the end boss would've been enough in my opinion. Retconning story elements to add a cheesy villian was unnecessary.
RE0 didn't retconned anything but expanded on the events of RE timeline due to RE1 and 2 didn't explain who release the T-Virus in the spencer mansion at all. I love the fact that one of James Marcus experiments took the physical form of young James Marcus and have the memories of Marcus and personally believe its James Marcus himself and spread the T-Virus on the train and in the forest and in Umbrella training facility and the Spencer Mansion.
Honestly I think it's one of the best Resident Evil games. Do I enjoy lots of inventory shuffling? Well, actually yes I do. Probably the most strategic of all RE games when it comes to inventory / resource management. I do however, completely understand how others would find it irritating. Story is total bullshit though, with the anime villain etc. I never really cared about what was going on really, in comparison to the other games in the "classic" era.
Edit: Just remembered my favourite way to play Remake is the "Real Survival" mode, in which the item boxes are not linked, so perhaps there is something in that side of things I find satisfying.
Honestly your opinion is dogshit and thats why noone here likes you
I’m glad that your saying your opinion with out being a jerk about it
@@Autistic_Tarkov_Guy Really?
There's not a snowballs chance in hell I'd play the remake on real survival. Normal is tough enough for my enjoyment, lol. But yeah, I liked the inventory management of Zero. I felt it gave me more freedom. I actually wind up doing more backtracking when I have to use item boxes. And yes, the Queen Leech was a terrible villain, but it's still an excellent game for the most part. I don't understand the lack of love for it. It does way more right than it does wrong.
@@Autistic_Tarkov_Guy You're a sad mean spirited prick Joe.
I remember reading an article with the devs about why they scrapped item boxes. It had something to do with making the game super easy regarding teleporting items across vast areas of the game. I get that’s what item boxes do, but it was more like let’s say you leave Rebecca in a save room, Billy is on the other side of the game, he needs an item he has to back track for, Rebecca is closer to the item, she can leave the safety of her room, grab the nearby item, put it in her chest, then Billy has instant access to it via the save room/item box that’s closer to him. Being able to swap between two characters AND having universal item boxes in save rooms basically negated the need for backtracking (most of the time). Billy needs a healing item? Rebecca can grab some nearby herbs, mix them, & send them to him. Once you switch to the other character, you never have to worry about your partner randomly being attacked because they’re in a save room. It makes sense why they did it, it just made backtracking 100 times more tedious.
When you said you called the Game Cube the Resident Evil Box, it made me remember the few games I had on it which where only RE remake, RE 4, RE Zero, RE 2 and RE 3 ports, Skies of Arcadia, Zelda WW and Zelda TP. I regret not getting Eternal Darkness.
So yes, the reason I bought was to get RE remake. So yeah, it was the Resident Evil Box. I got a good laugh out of that.
Wesker & Birkin are the best things about this game. Love seeing those 2 best buds interact. Legit only person we ever seen Wesker stand, respect or get along with. Plus it’s why Wesker has a dislike for HUNK.
13:52 I laughed way too much at this part then needed
I remember being hyped up for this game back when it was going to be on the N64 and then disappointed with it when it came out on the GameCube after some development Hell, it just felt... off. I am glad you brought up the big problem I had right away with the continuity issues but watching this video also reminded me that a lot of people, a LOT, failed to realize that Billy's tattoo is not some kind of random pattern but actually spells out "Mother Love."
I can't remember if it's brought up in the game or anywhere else why he has a tattoo that says that as I can't be bothered to play this again despite owning it or using some basic Google-Fu. Thanks for the video :)
Damn, that's how I felt with the Saints Row series.
7:26 Rebecca is much less aggressive than Billy in attack mode so I always switch to her when I want to clear a room
Man, I love your resident evil videos so much! Keep em coming
This game still looks good considering it's 20 years old
Great discussion of arguably one of the most compelling entries in the Resi series, thank you!
"I'm taking you in!"
"No you're not"
"Dangit!"
Lmfao!!
I am surprised that no one had mentioned on the verge of stopping the train, there's a cutscene (if you choose Rebecca to go to the other end of the train) right before reaching the caboose.
The one of Edward?
@@ansionnachbeagrioga5260 I think so.
@@killertruth186 First time I played, I chose Billy to go back through the train because he was better at facing threats, but when I encountered the zombified Edward Dewey, I regretted it because I suspected there would probably be some kind of special interaction if Rebecca encountered him instead. I just watched the cutscene on RUclips so I didn't feel I missed out.
@@ansionnachbeagrioga5260 I think it was myself or my older brother had played Rebecca to go to the back of the train to activate the emergency breaks. Then ended up using Billy instead.
I'd love to see them take another crack at 0 with a remake. They could remake 0 and 1 and make them "sister experiences" like 2 and 3 remake (since they take place shortly after the previous one). Fix the flaws and keep the atmosphere.
Re2 and re3 reimagined sucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Re engine sucks!!!!!!!!!
Bro if they couldn’t get it right with the tables of 2/3 how do you think this will be any better I miss the old re team
One the last RE games with a locked camera angle.
I really hope Capcom remakes RE0 someday. This game needs the remake treatment the most, it has so much untapped potential. And it has the best save room theme in the series imo.
What a coincidence, both you and brit gaming show decided to make a RE0 video at almost the same time.
Maybe this is the universe telling me i should finally play this game.
indeed😅
Great video. Idk if I'll ever play 0 but I've always been fascinated by this entry. Definitely nailed the atmosphere in my opinion. I'm just now finally finishing RE3 remake lol. Hope you do a twitch stream soon!
3:12 In the midst of being swarmed by leeches the people on the train must have been confused at hearing someone singing.
I definitely think the lack of the item chest made the game a chore to go back to previous locations to pick up items. You definitely had to remember where you left key items and supplies. Though that's my only negative about the game.
This was my first RE game. Friend who sold me their gamecube threw it in along with melee. I went in with no expectations and honestly had a good time.
It's hard to believe this game is 20 years old. It looks amazing. 3d rendering technology has still not caught up to the incredible pre rendered graphics. I wonder how a modernization of pre rendered graphics would look?
That bit of animation where Rebecca hit her head was hilarious
“Animation”
@@CriticalNobody That right there was Pixar quality
Some points. RE1,2, & 3 all throw zombies at you in the first to second room you enter when booting the game. RE2 had both a rookie cop and college girl fight off hordes of the undead at the start and they don't really stop to emote about it or the situation they are in until they meet Kendo and even then it's not really a reaction of fear. but yeah the fact Rebecca goes from a tough and confident cop to a cowering rookie in the span of a day is jarring
Glad to see you again man ,love your videos
the item box issue can be solved with familiarizing with the game. the story inconsistency between 0 and 1 is the biggest problem for 0 imo
The Thing (2011) is probably the prequel that was the furthest to achieving 1/10 of the quality of the original
RE0 has its own uniqueness. no item box is what makes it unique.
Also if dropping items is not as good as having an item box. also dropping ammo to take an item like a key is better than going back to an item box area to make space for it then come back to get it. or use a herb or first aid for no reason just to make space for it.
Partner zapping is a very nice feature that makes it unique for RE0.
A strange man singing opera to control leeches u find it weird? There is a similar thing in code veronica.
i actually loved everything in Resident evil Zero.
Also for dropping items, in worst case scenario u hv to go to the area after the train crashed and that's not far at all.
Now I really want to hear your thoughts on Code Veronica.
It's better than 0.
@@cookieface80 Agreed, but I'm wondering if he feels the same.

I always say, that Jills story in RE1 is canon meanwhile Chris’s story is not if you’re basing the RE0 storyline from Rebecca going into RE1.
I'd totally choose to bang Rebecca over Jill or claire....
Don't tell Claire I said that, thou 😬
Why’s that ? I’d say Chris is more canon but it’s deffo a combo of the two
@@ipoulter9765 I like Chris’s campaign a lot. Mainly because Rebecca goes from this badass in RE0 to acting like she doesn’t know what’s going on. However, if you don’t consider RE0 being canon then yes, a combo of both.
@@thekingoftown07 I don't think she acts like she don't know what's going on just more of she don't know what's going on with the mansion in detail as its a different case, but Xero is now canon so I don't think she stops being a badass just think of it of exhaustion settled in or she was cornered with no way out and out of bullets so she knew she had fucked up and was about to die
@@thekingoftown07 RE1 doesn't have a definitive canon because we know the actual canon of the game is Chris, Jill, Rebecca, and Barry all escaping the mansion together. That's never shown in the game because Barry is only briefly mentioned in the beginning of Chris' campaign while Rebecca is never seen or mentioned in Jill's campaign. Rebecca's portrayal RE0 is a massive retcon to how he acted in RE1.
"Zero" occupies an awful middle ground where it's not good enough to be good, but not terrible enough to be laughed at.
I love the RE Gaiden music when you highlight the bosses
Resident Evil lost me around RE4. I actually preferred the old style RE games and was a big fan of survival horror games in general back in the day. Zero is not perfect, in fact the inventory system adds a lot of frustration to no apparent benefit but over all i think its a solid old style survival horror game.
Yes
Resident Evil 4 ruined the whole franchise dude.
RE zero's style is for challenging purposes, not for people who hates them.
@@White927 yeah.
Both 0 and 4 are a pain if you try to play on hard or professional though, playing those kinda ruins it.
Both also have really horrible stories.
@@theartistformerlyknownasperson Eeh, I wouldn't say they are "pain" but sure RE zero is one of the hardest main RE titles while Resident Evil 4 is not a benefit of pain, it's rather an easy game, the story is subjective, I respect you bro 👍
I played Resident Evil Zero back in 2002 on Nintendo Gamecube and actually liked it. It's nice to know how it all began, to see what Rebecca had to deal with.
But the inconsistency between RE0 and RE1 Rebecca really is pretty strange.
It's similar to Daniel Larusso from Karate Kid: After he became champion in the first movie, he seems to have forgotten everything about Karate when the second movie starts and this pattern repeats itself at the beginning of the second and the third movie.
RE0 had some interesting ideas like:
changing the character with the push of a button.
combine items without putting them in your inventory: you have a red herb in your inventory, but no space for the green one? Combine them to mixed herbs and now can carry another item.
Billy helping Rebecca to reach spaces she can't reach by herself is a nice idea, as well as
Rebecca using her skills in chemistry to create chemicals which are needed to get items which in turn are needed to solve riddles or getting items to solve them.
I wished Capcom would've added more cutscenes were you can see what the rest of Bravo Team is doing after Rebecca meets Enrico, or distributed them throughout the game. It would've made the entire game more exciting and would've created even more excitement by showing the fates of every Bravo Team member at the end while Rebecca makes her way to the mansion.
That would be one hell of a Cliffhanger for everyone who only played RE0 and would've answered the question of how every member found his end.
5:19 to me it make sense, he found out he fk up and had a big NOPE moment
After finally beating Resident Evil Remake after 9 years as Jill; I played 0, 2 Remake (Claire A Scenario followed by Leon B Scenario, Japanese version), 3 Remake (Japanese version), Operation Raccoon City, Code Veronica X, and now currently 4. While finishing up Code Veronica X, I decided to delve into Resident Evil Remake videos (especially since I needed to revert to a previous save so I can have the crossbow for the final boss) and that’s when I was reminded Rebecca was in Remake and learned she was a playable character. I had previously decided to wait to play Chris (since I thought I did not need to play both characters to experience the “true” ending, despite the canon ending not existing in game) for my replay of the American versions of Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remake.
I only have access to a select number of games due to Xbox’s catalogue being limited which is why my current almost chronological order play through of the series is the way it is.
It really does feel like a "nothing" game. There are few reasons why anyone would ever want to play this over the RE1 remake if they have both games available
If you only want to play 1 classic survival horror RE classics? Play RE1 Remake. It's one of the best survival horror games ever made.
Capcom doesn't make RE games like that now. RE2 Remake 2019 was good/close, but they made some questionable cuts and changes unlike Shinji Mikami's 2002 team.
As long as capcom keeps releasing watered down resi games... and Netflix series'... I'll always have a reason to revisit RE zero and the REmake
Like he said in the video, RE0 is a chore to play. Good RE games makes you want to keep playing until it's 5am and you wonder wtf happened to the time
@@I-own-your-feelings I'm currently replaying the classics. But I like the newer res games too. Actually I love them. I loved the RE2 remake, and playing RE7 in VR was possibly the best gaming experience of my life. But as for the new series on Netflix? Yeah, that can get stuffed, it's looking horribly disappointing so far.
0 doesn't add shit to the original game and only served to contradicts the original, I say fuck this game, pretend it doesn't exist.
Lol you and TGBS uploading both on RE Zero within a week of each other, must be coincidental
That is literally what it must be
I got stuck in a bad save loop on that box puzzle. Lol. Over and over again, haha.
great RE content as always
Never forget, Resident evil 0 made resident evil survivor Canon.
All they had to do was have the final confrontation result in Rebecca getting some kind of localised memory loss from a drug/poison or something and the story would have gelled with RE1 (head trauma would mean she'd need a wound in RE1). Billy gets a redemption arc and illustrates the bond of friendship by saving her and then dying/walking off into the sunset and Rebecca is mentally back where she started at the beginning of RE0.
Easy fix, not going to win any awards for storytelling but it makes enough sense to not draw obvious continuity questions.
I'm nearing the end of tormented souls will I listen to this. This was a spectacular resident evil, silent Hill tribute game. That has its own great merits. If you haven't played it go play torment souls.
What did you think of Tormented Souls? I’m split on it personally. The graphics and sounds are great, but basically everything else either mediocre or really bad. But for some reason I still enjoyed it.
this one was actually my favorite next to RE2, RE4 & both Outbreak games. i doubt it will get a remake though. I also loved the fact that item boxes were removed. this forces players to think twice about where to put their items vs putting items in a box that each are magically connected to eachother.
As far as the boss fights, this game basically threw all of marcus's expiriments at you since he went crazy running tests on anything ranging from animals, bugs and reptiles which explains the giant scorpion, giant bat and giant centepede battles. The real boss though is James Marcus himself as the queen leech.
I'm i the only one who prefer Zero instead of the original first RE? I remember playing this game without any walktrough or guide in 2003 when i was 14 or 15 :D it felt short and easier than the other RE i played before (Remake and Code Veronica) but i really liked it.
Lmao this review is hilarious and on point. I love it
Am I the only one who hopes to see Billy make a comeback?
yes
RE0 is amazing
Underated for sure
I just came up with something that probably would've made RE 0 more likeable.
First and foremost, item boxes. But secondly really, the game switching the characters for you as you progress through the story.
For example, let's say you're in the train cart, Rebecca and Billy stumble upon a room with a locked up safe that has an important key item. The two characters talks about their course of action. One of them would stay behind and try to figure out how to work the safe while the other explores the area and look for anything that would help open the safe.
This will be the decision for the player to either have Billy explore the area, or Rebecca.
This will happen often throughout the game, giving the player the option to control the character you feel like playing for the time being.
You won't be able to change your characters freely any more, only when you get to a certain point of the game.
And every time a player switches a character to explore the same area, new enemies will spawn, even when the last character you played as cleared the entire area.
This idea would have the same replay ability of choosing different scenarios like in other RE games.
17:11 "Did you kill 23 people? I'm not going to judge you..."
W H A T
There are 2 types of prequels:
The resident evil 0s
And the yakuza 0s.
I really liked this one honestly
7:22 Both character's actually seem to be programmed for "attack" state differently, with Rebecca only firing when you fire as Billy, or when you're under direct attack in a grab. Billy as AI, from every experience I've had, will waste dump ammo into enemies.
Also when's the follow-up vid? "Leech Hunter | The Gamemode That I Forgot"
If that’s the case, then it’s inconsistent cause I’ve also had her do the opposite.
@@CriticalNobody It's been incredibly consistent from all my time with the game, but entirely possible that's just coincidence since I play the same way every time, knowing the game near inside-out. Regardless of any specifics, Rebecca always seems WAY more Passive than Billy in attack state.
2:10 Guilty.. Just didn't complete it.. Idk why.
RE1 and RE2 are epic classics!
It’s a decent re game in my opinion
I very much enjoyed RE:0 and have replayed it many times. The worst part is the story, the best part is the atmosphere and locations. The most fun you can have with this game is after you beat Leech Hunter 100%. Going back into the mansion and destroying all the creatures and zombies with infinite weapons is just awesome.
When I revisited this I remember absolutely cracking up to the leech zombie cutscene it's so rediculous give him a shake and he falls apart n she screams
I love RE0, it has great athmosphere and super realistic pre-rendered backgrounds. The inventory system is super complicated but more realistic than magically inter connected boxes. Just think of it as a non cannon fan fiction and you can have a lot of fun with it.
I only ever played the first 30 minutes of this one. Couldn't really get into it at the time, and I've seen enough of it since to think I wouldn't really like it now. The storyline is too inconsequential, convoluted, and derivative of RE1, with Rebecca very blatantly not acting like the same character between both games. The item system is too inconvenient and clunky, thanks to the removal of 4D storage containers, the fact Rebecca and Billy only have 6 item spaces apiece, and the fact some items now all of a sudden take up multiple item spaces. Controlling two characters at the same time creates the same problem RE5 has; it's far less tense and scary as a game when you don't feel alone. RE4 isn't very scary, but the few times it is, like when the Regenerators show up, would be ruined if Leon was yapping with a comrade.
It's a shame, because RE0 was the last mainline fixed camera/tank control game in the franchise, which while dated and an acquired taste as a game style still has its appeal even in 2022. But it was clear the series needed to change, and we kinda needed something like RE4. There's like 5 or 6 memorable RE games in the classic style, and that's plenty when you really think about it.
Tormented Souls proved that fixed camera Survival Horror can still work very well.
Speaking of the dramatic change in gameplay, atmosphere, etc that began with RE4: most people nowadays don't talk about how, back when RE0 first released, gamers were actually getting tired of old school RE games. With RE3, Code Veronica, REMake, and then finally RE 0, gamers felt that RE games were beginning to feel a little stale. Capcom tried to change things up a bit with RE 0 (removal of storage chests, switching between two characters on the fly, etc), but the game still didn't impress gamers. Back in 2002 when RE0 first released, people's attitude towards it was very "Meh".
And that is when Capcom realized they needed to do something *VERY* different and drastic if they wanted to keep the Resident Evil series relevant and fresh - so they made RE 4 the way that it is.
Love it or hate it - fans certainly cannot say that RE 4 "ruined" the franchise. Capcom themselves will tell you that it actually SAVED the franchise. Like I was saying, people nowadays forget that the classic-style RE games were getting stale with gamers in the early 2000s. Capcom didn't make RE 4 the way that it is just for the hell of it. They actually made 4 an action game due to FAN dissatisfaction and growing bored with RE games. Fans wanted something fresh and different, so Capcom gave them RE 4. And the fans loved it.
But of course, by RE 6, fans had grown bored of this action-style of RE games and wanted a return to the classic survival-horror style. It would feel 'fresh' and interesting again, since we've grown so bored with the action-style RE games.
Anyways, sorry for rambling.
Had it been me, the moment the decision was made to switch to GameCube I would have said to Capcom "Hey, so let's turn this into a bonus disc for Resident Evil."
Then I would have cut it way down, made it feel more like a short, but ultra hard prequel story. Ammo would be limited, and you'd mostly be dealing with zombies, dogs, etc. And it wouldn't be Billy Coen, it would be Kenneth from Bravo team. Instead of being sent here, Kenneth and Rebecca get cut off from the rest of Bravo team in the forest when they're attacked by the Cerberus blood pack. The rest of the team heads for the mansion while Rebecca/Kenneth get stuck on the train during a storm. Rebecca is able to keep spotty radio contact with the rest of the team early on, but then loses contact entirely. The train is used expressed by Umbrella staff to get ferried to and from various labs and facilities. After exploring/unlocking the train, a countdown to destruction is triggered. Kenneth and Rebecca are seperated in the explosion with Kenneth making a blind run for the mansion. The storm stops, almost to mock you as it is still too dangerous in the forest. You'd enter the second new area, similar to the guardhouse, the dormitory. This is where low-level Umbrella staff would be processed, trained, and lay up until assigned to other places. Big enough to be a secondary area, but also pushing you towards the end of the game. There would be mutant centipedes here, and in the basement a large centipede boss. After defeating it and securing the final puzzle piece you unlock a path heading towards the mansion. End. Maybe a two hour experience. After beating it you'd unlock a special file on Umbrella, detailing its founding, etc... As well as a robust "mercenaries" "battle game" type of a scenario where you can play any STARS members and run through the train, mansion, guardhouse, lab, or dorm as various linear combat and time trials.
Why? Resident Evil 0 always felt like it was an inflated bonus mission, and its the inflation that hurts it. The strongest section of the game is the train section. That's the area with the most clear inspiration at play. After that it almost seems like they didn't know what to do. Also showing Wesker/Birkin watching events unfold, hey, thanks for spoiling REmake for someone who may not have played it yet. That's another issue with prequels. They always run the risk of spoiling what comes next.
If capcom ever decides to make a remake of RE0 the could fix the inventary problem by either returning item boxes or making or making items fit in one slot (like that godamned hookshoot) and giving you pouches to increase the space like RE2 remake
After the train this game was a complete slog but I do love Rebecca.
You know it happened the same to me. I never had the chance to have a gamecube, so I could never play RE1 remake or zero. When Capcom announced the remasters for PC I was really excited. I played and I finished RE1 with both characters. But I could never finish RE0. I always drop it and I don't know why. It just not my cup of tea I guess
After seeing this retrospective i went ahead and booted up the gamecube to fuel my nostalgia and play anything but RE0
Agreed, the disparity of 0 and 1 Rebecca is something a remake or retcon is gonna require fixing
I agree. Maybe the N64 original that was cancelled would've fit better as that was trying to the in to RE1 1996.
Fun fact, the Bravo Team member Rebecca runs into on the Umbrella train? He was missing one of his hands due to the 1996's opening live action cutscene.
I don't think the weird opera singing Leach guy was present in the N64 version either.
Damn it man, youtube had to load at 5:10 and for some seconds I thought it was your editing, making it like rebecca was like "zombies and monsteeeerrs...bbrrrrr...bipbipbip...normal is not....bad it is"
Severely underrated channel
Plot: Man in drag yodels on a hill and messes up mugen train and gets Rengoku killed.
Yeah I'm a year later to the comment party, but I'm one of those that like 0 a lot. If they ever remade 0, and in my head the best way to do it is as one single game encompassing both 0 and 1 in a Re: The Arklay Mountains incident or something, I think "fixing" Rebecca's character isn't as hard as it seems. You can have her going into the mansion exhausted and wounded, bleeding from the fights, making it into the infirmary safe room Chris finds her in, patching herself up and crashing there, falling asleep. Then once Chris finds her, it makes sense if she is not at 100% and still wounded, plus it was Billy doing the heavy lifting the night before anyway. As far as the Birkin lab, finding its location should be simply omitted.
Billy is important to Resident Evil because the way he says STAAAAARS is second best out of everyone (Nemesis says STARS the best, obviously).
Best save room music. Really makes me sad.
