This is why Lament for PvT Jenkins remains one of the most chilling soundtracks of all time. It induces fear, mystery. 343 guilty spark for me is one of the best campaign missions of all time. Everything just perfectly executed.

You can’t drive either? I thought I was the only one 😂😂

Not really a trilogy. CODE: Veronica and Zero exist, are main entries, and add on to the story that those three titles were establishing. So really, that first era of the series before Resident Evil 4 soft-rebooted the series was more of a pentalogy than anything.

The original version of Resident Evil hasn't held up, but Resident Evil 2 and 3: Nemesis most certainly _do._ These two games made me a horror fan, and they honestly still hold up, warts and all. Sure to an outsider looking in, the tank controls seem ridiculous, but in the context of the fixed camera angles and deliberate pace the games go for, they work like a charm. And the Resident Evil 1 Remake is honestly even better.

Let’s not forget Avery Johnson is only one who survive that situation

4:22 the banshee from Assault on the Control Room last outdoor section is gettable (with some luck).

I am surprised 343 and microsoft even allow modding. They are losing out on money.

shame i missed the stream, oh well, it happens.

“I feel it’s more due to my lack of talent than the design” oh believe me the prison is all rng on legendary. You will be beamed before yu gain control of your character at times, all based on the cycle of the guards patrol when you load it in. Usually it’s just one jackal that spots you and you are softlocked

Brown people

Ben just casually shooting at point blank range at 25:00. Remember melee is surprisingly effective against the Flood in SPV3. Excellent against Infection Forms, and no wasting of ammo.

Dammit we still don't have clean water 😢

i loved this segment as a kid. It felt like a futuristic take on the early war on terror.

1:38 Wait, why are there six pedals if there's only four directions?

I don’t consider the novel canon That’s Microsoft endorsed Nothing against the author, but it’s not in line with the beautiful storytelling of the game

The flood scared me so much as a kid. I played Halo on the original Xbox as a kid with my brother on split-screen. We played the whole game together, and 343 Guilty Spark scared us good. The lack of music, tons of dead bodies, and seeing Master Chief actually look scared were terrifying. Pretty sure I got nightmares from seeing Keyes as a proto-gravemind. I remember as a kid seeing Halo 3 at Walmart and thinking “There’s a Halo 2 AND a Halo 3??”

Claude not saying anything is boring.

Just a useless information here, the flood becomes your hostile when you hit the loading zone when descending the first elevator

From the intro questions the only one I found no answer to prior to this video is why the flood didn't attack chief, in my honest deep lore and logic I say the reason is memories, the former covenants memories the flood have taken thymey all know who this man is and therefore the flood were scared at the beginning so they observed first and then attacked

As usual quality content Ben, I enjoy this type of videos! I think your interpretation of it its fair and most likely what happened. I saw Halo CE is getting a remake! Let's hope they nail this mission and make it way scarier and with more detail!

I haven't played Resident Evil in 10 years, but have very distinct memories of it. Around 5-8 years old I'd have been playing it, and I had nightmares, every.... SINGLE... NIGHT! Legitimately like a week or two straight until eventually my parents had taken it and put it in the cabinet top shelf in our kitchen. It's so vivid, I remember that I was in like a zoo, or some large place where animals would walk through. Zombie dogs tigers and stuff, elephants I think as well. Never got too far before quitting. I wish I could say which one it was, it was on Playstation 2, I just remember the cover had like a purple disgusting eyeball with surrounding skin zombie looking, and the aforementioned animals in like a zoo or something. I know we must still have it and I have to search bins, and for now I'd appreciate knowing its name if someone does, ha. Also could be misremembering exact details And Ben, could you cover Amnesia the Dark Decent perhaps, and by extension Frictional Games' former franchise Penumbra. Your coverage of this genre is very good, and they would equally make for great entertainment here

RE3 is my favorite. Close as second as my favorite of all time. I replay it several times per year and I'm still enjoying it. I'm happy that they release those PC ports but sadly they are bare bones. Or I can say it about the first because it's the only one released by now. Try to change the keybinds and you know what I mean. They should have made these the definitive editions not square one.

The first Resident Evil on PS1 was one of my favourite games as a kid & still today, I replayed that original trilogy more times than I can count. The remakes are great & I'm happy they were made, but there's still a special quality the classic versions possess. RE1 remake is the best of both worlds. Updated graphics & enhanced atmosphere while retaining that old school fixed camera/tank control gameplay. For me that's the best of the entire series. Thanks for the quality content Ben & have a great day.

Love this! Before I became a Halo fan, and before I started making Halo LASO walkthroughs, I was a Resident Evil addict. I used to speedrun the OG RE3 on the hardest setting on a daily basis just for fun. My best time was one hour and 26 minutes. This was before the days of KZbin. I sense a theme here. You love the Flood from Halo. You love Resident Evil. If you haven’t already looked into it, you might enjoy exploring the Scourge from Warcraft, an undead army that draws some comparisons to the Flood. Would be really interested in hearing your take! Always enjoy your videos, and thank you for all of your hard work 🙂

Agreed and i love the remakes and hope they remake 1 and code veronica.

Wanted these excellent games to receive the same remaster treatment Aspyr gave Tomb Raider Trilogy. That's not what we got at all here on GOG. Hoping we 1 day actually get legit remasters for both current consoles and pc, especially if all 3 RE games are sold in one collection and include extra content from versions like Director's Cut, Sega Saturn, or Deadly Silence DS.

Right now?

How did Keys go from the facility to truth and reconciliation?

Imagine if the flood was unleashed by Chief disabling the security systems on the silent cartographer, except he shut it off for the whole ring

Bitch i play them regularly on gamecube...dont need shitty pc to play classics

"Something more modern. Like the Lord of the Rings Golem" make me chuckle.

This re-release is a situation done right. My late production PS3 is still alive and kicking, but I don't look forward to the day it craps out and I lose my og RE + GTA trilogies, possibly others... not sure how many more of my classic title downloads are inaccessible in official forms 😢

As good as the RE2 remake is, it does break my heart how they didn't do a better a and b scenario or zapping system 😢 Akin to you, the RE2 OG is still KING. ❤

I think the devs just wanted a lot of different creepy elements for this level and didn’t really think about how it would tell a disjointed story with all the different pieces (random gunshots in the beginning, downed pelican, covenant running away, dead covenant and marines, long time between Keye’s last radio transmission)

Who thinks arbiter is the best looking character in halo 5

2:15 Games trump the books, Games are THE canon (yep including the Fall of Reach, GAME is the canon). The books can be considered canon until a game says otherwise. I did enjoy this one, keep up the good content!

My theory is that the flood facility functions similar to a Faraday cage to prevent electromagnetic signals from leaving it. This is why communication was impossible, considering the level of physics research the Forerunners were probably capable of. Furthermore, the covenant probably maintained an extensive garrison there, since it was a very important part of the installation. I am genuinely unsure if the swamp outside has Flood biology, but the facility is rather concealed from the air by the swamp. I’m not sure to whose benefit, but I’m also sure that everything was revealed at the cartographer, which is very confusing as to why they did not know about this. I do believe that the covenant had to send a lot of reinforcements to contain this area me if I’m not mistaken to to as well as his military staff would realize the extreme importance of containing the flood and an attempt to wipe them out (hence “bad ass elite unit”). However, they were not exactly sure that they were engaging with humans, and I’m sure that the flood found a way out of the multiple entrances. Since the flood was already out of the facility when Chief arrived, i’m also sure that the flood was quickly expanding its territory on the ring and acquiring heavy equipment all the time.

At 5:50 when you state that master chief inadvertantly causes the floods released reminded me of how Samus does the same with the X parasites and the SA-X. It would make a lot of sense and that's the most terrifying part

Bro is massacring MRVN’s… unforgivable…

Floody good video Ben

I think the Covenant being within the facility was nothing more than them being ordered to lock it down until a spec-ops team could be deployed. It's interesting that there are no Elites among them which means that either every single one of them were assimilated or a couple escaped and gave orders to the fodder while they called for reinforcements as seen by the downed Spirit. So what likely happened is that the Covenant found the Flood (as referenced in the end of AotCR), tried to contain it but just scattered through the facility, Johnson and his squad then fought through that set of enemies only to be ambushed by the Flood after Keyes and second squad arrived. The pelican could've been downed by say a rocket flood on the ground as well as the Spirit that dropped the remaining covenant reinforcements that went in after the first group and after the humans infiltrated in a poor attempt at some sort of quarantine while the Elites in the chain of command figure out what to do and Master Chief comes bumbling in unknowingly eliminating any leftover resistance the Flood had. Not that any resistance mattered anyway because the Flood was in control the entire time after they were released and were simply letting the survivors live so that higher value prey such as officers, commandos and possibly even a Spartan shows up.

The only Halo moment you see N E D D L E R A M M O

my comment as usual

Could you imagine, if they remade the 1st halo like the rumors suggest, you’re driving through a landing zone of one of the lost cruisers so there’s just a covenant cruiser sitting above you as close as logically possible as you drive or walk and fight underneath it.

I like this video it answers questions before putting them all together. I think you should a video like this on how the truth and reconciliation ship crashed leading into the events of the level Keyes plus adding to what happened afterwords. I'll be posting my next comment answering how all this played out leading to the flood outbreak on installation 04

I feel like the unexplained props/bullet holes in the cutscenes are a result of in-engine cutscenes. It's more efficient to reuse the same bsp/textures than swap them out. When you consider that Halo was originally released at a time where games were rendered at low resolutions and most people were playing on CRTs, it's likely that Bungie figured most people wouldn't notice and thus didnt spend the time/resources to create clean versions for some short cutscenes.
