Resident Evil Story/Review - Resident Evil 2 HD - Claire A

[@iexcedo6918]

The save theme if this game is the only thing that makes me feel hope, calmness, dread, and anxiety all at the same time. It really screw's with my head. I miss those days on my n64 sneaking staying up past my bed time trying to beat this with my little brother.

Well, according to a Reddit poll I Googled up, RE2 has 38% of the votes, followed by REmake's 18%, 2 remake, 3 and 4's 8%, 5 and 6's 6%, Revelations and "I haven't played them all"'s 4% and 7's 0%. Clearly the majority very much agrees with Mr. Blake, but opinions, especially regarding music are objective, so one cannot be "wrong" as long as the source material follows the accepted criteria for its category (like if it didn't relate to the situation, was off tempo/key, was just random SFX, etc.). There must be a better use of my time than refuting KZbin comments with run-on sentences.

[@skrublordnord69]

Agreeeed. There’s so many great soundtracks and atmospheres in the earlier RE games, it’s no wonder why some people still prefer the old stuff to this day

These chill casual runs have been great. It’s cool slowing down and enjoy the ride through the games.

[@numbuh745]

The window in the first floor east side stairway wasn't smashed in the original game. This is an aesthetic change only introduced via seemless HD mod of RE2 as like an easter egg. in the original game it was just a closed window.

[@fittpappa687]

Yes because re3 didnt exist back then. This is a call back to RE3, since nemesis happens before and after the events of re2. Its a really nice touch.

[@numbuh745]

@@fittpappa687 Yep, that's what I meant. The modders added it as a homage to RE3. Since part of RE3 happens before Leon and Claire arrives it's really thoughtful of the modders. I only brought it up because bawk brought up the window in tandem with criticizing how RE2 Remake handled references to RE3 Remake. Meanwhile, modders were able to change one little thing in the background of one room in RE2 and the context for it is really vast.

being a huge RE fan myself, this was very enjoyable to watch . Maybe even one of the best I've seen on KZbin, or anywhere. Im very happy I found this channel recently. It was reccomended from a friend who is also a big RE fan. Im older , so at first I thought..nah..I will be just another crap commenter. But I'm glad I gave it a chance, because I honestly did enjoy!

[@Dimmo87ie]

My mother bought me this when it came out on ps1 (I was 11 I think) and I was so impressed by the intro. Unfortunately, I didn’t realise the point where you take over control wasn’t also a cutscene and like a complete cabbage, sat and watched Leon get eaten about a dozen times in a row... Utterly perplexed, I just happened to nudge the up arrow and finally realised that I was supposed to play.

It's not broken in the original PS1 version either. Bawk has been playing modded versions for far too long it seems.

[@UltraProchy]

Ive been rewatching some of your older playthroughs and i noticed how kendos cut completely changed the game. You just cant hear his lines and not laugh nowadays but in these BK (before kendo) videos, noone bats an eye. Its amazing how much one "tiny bit of a meme mod" can do for a community

[@SakuraRedfield96]

One thing I've noticed recently is that pretty much the entire RE2 soundtrack has some part of Birkin's theme in it; or it sounds familiar, alike. It seems that was already planned since 1.5, with the unused track of what was supposed to be the safe room theme. And I just love that, it does truly feel like the music is accompanying you while you uncover the horrible mysteries of the G virus. Resident Evil 2 (1998, the one and only and the best) might be old and difficult to play by today's standards; it might have tank controls and fixed cameras, the game might be way too bright and clean to be an apocalyptic city (something they fixed in RE2make, with other changes, some good, others not so much...) But, at the same time, RE2make doesn't have what this game has, and that's what makes it so unique and special. The scenario system, the complete story of both characters piecing it together like a puzzle, the music (chef's kiss) , the characters (I love that they had quirks; that Leon had drunk himself to sleep the night before after breaking up with his girlfriend and that's what made him late to his first day, Claire's unshakable faith & bond w/Chris, that both Claire and Ada pretty much ignore Leon, the voice of reason, every time and he goes "why does noone ever listen to me!?", Claire being a savage but being absolute soft & protective with Sherry, Leon actually having some character in him and getting mad or being sassy af... Those quirks made them more real), the scenes, (god I love all the scenes in this game: the intros, when Hunk retrieves the G-virus sample, the endings...), the scenarios, the villains (I love Irons in this game; creepy, unstable and absolutely confident as he had his fucking butcher dungeon on the fucking police station), the monsters... Everything this game has, I love it. I could talk about this game for hours and I wouldn't get tired of it.

[@loco79PL]

Same here man, best game ever, masterpiece. And I'm saying this as an old fart, 42 almost. Played it thousends of times, sometimes for records, sometimes for relax, also got the soundtrack CD in original which helps me getting to sleep. Some people could find it funny but without RE2 my life would have been much more poor experience. Greetings from Poland man, really appreciate your comment.

[@trevorduna7666]

I just played the original dual shock claire A and leon B and that is hands down the greatest horror storyline of all time. The remake was great but they could have really remade it and made a terrific horror masterpiece. Imagine sherry seeing williams deformed face within G2's torso peaking from the shadows. "Daddy is that you?". I plan on making a fully revamped re2 ps1 mod with a transformed sherry, new enemies and areas.

The sewer intruder /w the C4 was chief irons. It's implied that he's a serial killer in a note in one of the other games and his MO is luring women into the sewers and then hunting them for sport. R2Remake's C4 note seemingly being written from Irons' perspective reinforces this imo.
