Thanks for all the hardwork you put into this video. Amazing!

Before the second battle with Raven, in the elevator. Punch or kill some ravens and he'll say something about meesing up wiith his friends.

How does one find about these backstories?

I've always wanted to see things like this in video essays: very detailed breakdowns of locations for horror games, like "Spencer Mansion: Room by room" etc. Looking forward to the next two!

still playing this game ALOT

I remember finding a picture on a chalk board that resembled a gamecube… but it was around 2 years before it was even announced!

Plenty of thanks for this analysis! It helps to go underneath the very skin of this intriguous and charming controlled entartaining called a game. The streets weren't so frightening for me, when being a teen I played in, while the school was something, where all the nightmares only began.

Love this kind of breakdown, as with all your work on the monsters, I'm looking forward to these!

23:15 I'll never forget when I first saw images of the Lying Figure in an issue of Game Informer back in 2000, I swore they were these guys returning but being hostile this time and we'd actually get to fight them lol. I remember these things creeping me out in the first game, so I was excited at the idea of fighting them in a sequel. The Lying Figure(referred to as the "Patient Demon" around those times) always reminded me of this bodies in the first/third game.

The mate i used to walk to school with used to turn up early so we could play this beast of a game. Great times.

You say she was trying to kill Harry, but when she does confront him and uses her power on him, she didn't kill him. She was trying to slow him down, yet I don't believe wanted to take his life. He was the one person she knew was good at heart.

Well I hope you continue this series

Five minutes in and I'm already invested with how you plan to go about this masterpiece of a game wrongly overlooked by its successor. Keep this going!

Another small reference, when you try to purchase the Mine Thrower, the merchant says "Not only will you need cash, but you'll need guts to buy that weapon". This is a reference to the Berserk manga and anime, Guts being the main character who has a prosthetic steel arm that acts as a cannon, when Leon equips the mine thrower, he wields it in a similar pose and fashion as Guts. RE4 is also similar to Berserk in how the main character fights religiously occult like enemies who transform into demonic and gory monsters, while also fighting to protect the cliche damsel in distress, ADDITIONALLY, without any major spoilers going deeper, Leon and Ashley are both injected with the plaga, just like how both Guts and Casca are branded with a demon symbol and are fighting off the monsters who are trying to make them become one of them. Major mirroring between the two series.

Dang, the original monsters definitely seemed to hit different than in the remake for sure. They looked way more creepy and disturbing for some reason. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the graphics, the models, and the surrounding atmosphere though.

10-yr-old me was tricked into playing this game a long, long time ago. Big mistake. I didn't get that far into it, but when the siren went off and I got attacked by those knife-wielding child monsters, I noped out. I turned off the game and gave it back to whoever wanted me to play it in the first place.

What makes Resident Evils zombies so terrifying, even more than other zombie media is that the victims of the T-Virus are technically still living. There are a couple of instances in Code Veronica, and RE 3 that break that lore a little bit, but still, the zombies aren't really corpses in a literal sense despite being pretty much as close to a corpse as a person could get without being dead. The transformation of humans slowly deteriorating into rotting, brain dead, flesh eating monsters is horrific, and Resident Evil was the first piece of media to craft their zombies in such a way. It seperated the series from the George Romero zombie lore while still keeping the core essence of the B movie zombie film intact. The dev team of the first RE game carved out their own niche that was every bit as important as what the legendary George Romero achieved with his films. That's difficult to achieve in film making, let alone a video game with very little to go off of from other games that came before it. It also being an early 3 dimensional game on a brand new console added even more significance to what RE did for gaming. It really set the bar for developers making the most out of hardware limitations.

I never got to finish Silent Hill 3. I and a friend played the remaster but it kept crashing at Brookhaven Hospital.

The second message is necessary for the ending "In Water". It's been documented that Maria was designed that way in reference to Christina Aguilara. Wait, so express delivery monsters are deliberate?

The tv was one of the first hauntings i got and from afar i noticed the eyes flashin and decided to go near.... i did not realize the HP was getting low, the lower the HP the longer the eyes stay on screen until the image of the TV stay fix, the camera lowers a bit because the character fell on his knees and game over...

you need to play the remake now. holy shit it is great. just wooow!

How does this not have more views

This was my fav silent hill.

There is one hunting that I've only seen on a trailer and it is a column of ghost where the fan fell down and they where moving I guess it is an scrapped hunting i never find it in this kind of videos

they look like monsters to you?

Love the video! What's the song that starts around 0:55? Thanks for your hard work!

I’m a resident evil person. And because of the silent hill 2 remake I wanted to really get into the original before watching the remake. I can’t believe I’ve skipped over silent hill all these years. I’m hooked on all the silent hill analysis videos I can get!

So glad room 209 stays in tact in the remake. Nothing made my skin crawl more than getting an earful of that whispering.

I like the theory that split head is also a manifestation of Alessas fear of the school boiler which is directly below her class room in the basement.

Loving your constant sh4 videos. Such an abstract and one of a kind game that doesn’t get the same recognition the other 3 games get

The mirror sequence freaks me out every time I play the game!😅

I never thought that I'd say this but I've finally played this game and man what an EPIC game this is! And I'll play NG+ and try to find all these easter eggs.

Man it’d be so cool if you did this for the old Indiana jones games

So you’re telling me that every enemy in the game is to do with James wanting to bang his wife again, Mary being verbally abusive and that she wasn’t able to walk due to her illness. Just those 3 things for EVERY enemy

great video,do more like this

23 yr ago and still the best ❤

14:40 If you consider SH3 as an allegory for puberty, and the 2nd playthrough you can make Doglas appear in his underwear, isn't that meant Heather have an attraction for Doglas? (Worthy of SH3 Iceberg)

26:14 soo Cynthia was 13 and Walter was mid teens how old was that

18:48 there’s a time and place to be sensual and It’s Not Here Cynthia!!

Thank you so much for the point about the whisper sound effect. This is still perpetuated as "See my dead wife" to this day when it's actually just a big standard creep out.

There's also a file on one of the computer that list some Umbrella employees. One of them is Derek Simmons, that would become one of the antagonists in RE6!

Fantastic video. Wasn’t a rehash of the “well-known” Easter eggs. You went above and beyond on the depth on each one. For example: the Joker Mannequin visitation, I had no idea more than one moved. Or the Thomas Elliot whiteboard, but going into the patients. Even the Dr. Cloney one!

Chris at the end of the video looks like he's on his way to shoot Ethan Winters' "wife" during their dinner 😂😂😂

The cat haunting is in reference to the event described in a note where the neighbour with guns had enough of his cat allergies going off so he converted one of his fake guns into a real one and shot the old lady's cat dead. In her grief, she wrapped it in a pair of jeans (taken from the tortured creepy guy who writes to nurse Rachel, forgot his name) and put it in the fridge. Too bad this note also has first timers looking for the converted gun lol. The picture isn't Walter smiling, it's legit a picture of his dead, decaying corpse 😨 followed by the conjurer's cry. The ghost is surrounded by what seems to be corpse fluid.

first half of the game: i'm gonna stay a little bit longer in the apartment because it's a safe haven second half of the game: nope i'm outta here 6:35 dude, i legit thought the ghost was going to walk free like in the intro when I first tried the game that scared the shit out of me back then lmao

Great video man. Planning on making a SH4 video myself.

Richard's twitchy "broken record" way of moving and how he "skips" several steps ahead as he's walking is uniquely terrifying - haven't seen much like it. Probably one of my favorite enemies in this game.

I've put in a ton of hours in this game over the years and never knew you could destroy the crane in the blast furnice...it's awesome still learning new things about classic games!

ı subbed awesome content

Komodo Dragon rank here. How come Octocon and snake are leaving the base? Is that after a second playthrough? I left with Meryl.
