The Resident Evil clone is a celebrated genre in the games industry, and if you know anything about me, you know I love a good #SurvivalHorror romp. Well, enter #Carrier on the dreamcast. A game that couldn't be more obvious of a clone. Can it live up to its metaphorical big brother? Let's find out.

[@danielthomas7193]

Carrier Developers: should we name our female character Jessica or Jennifer? Jaleco: yes.

[@AvalancheReviews]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[@dustinsterling3248]

Jessifer is such a bad name lol, honestly Jennica sounds better imo

[@ericrhodes5174]

@@dustinsterling3248 Missed opportunity lol

[@MrJakeKale]

I always assumed Jessifer was either some weird translation error or an attempt at a futuristic name. Whatever they going for, it ended up just weird - which is Carrier in a nutshell!

[@danielthomas7193]

@@MrJakeKale no idea. I could understand if she had both "L"s and "R"s in her name as Japanese lacks both letter. Hence the "Engrish" joke you see. But this is just weird. Regardless I personally hated the game. But loved Blue Stinger. So I'm a little weird. 🤣

[@Nekucloud]

You know what's another Resident Evil clone that's also underrated? Deep Fear!😁

[@lonewolffang]

Covert ops: nuclear dawn (ps1) and there is kuon (ps2) for me.

[@ExtremeMusicPromotion]

cold fear?

[@lonewolffang]

@@ExtremeMusicPromotion there is a game called deep fear, sega saturn if I remember right

[@AndruComedy]

The main blond dude looks the same too

[@jedstuhr]

I... Love.. that.... game!!! It was like better than RE1, but not quite as good as RE2... wish thay it waa actually released in the US.. I played it as a teenager and had to use a printout online for help in translating a lot of the text.... I BELIEVE there's a PAL version, but it's probably ungodly expensive

[@Cinderkin]

It's so obvious how much care goes into an Avalanche Review, I'm honestly surprised you don't have more subscribers. Keep up the good work, those numbers will rise and thanks for providing us with such great content. As much as I love RE and Survival Horror, I've never played Carrier and now I definitely have to play it. Thanks for the review!

[@asleepghoulshow]

Give it a go Terrance, I actually loved exploring the ship with its weird monsters and even weirder crew. Carrier got a atmosphere that I really liked.

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

Your comment is listed as being made 2 months ago, but this video is listed as being released TODAY (Thursday, October 31, 2019). Is this a reupload and it wasn't listed as such, or do you have the ability to manipulate time and space?

I wonder how Jared feels about Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare 😉

[@Dukkyjames200]

I have that game for ps2! It's a pretty solid survival horror title.

[@Kenshiro3rd]

scrapinator 89 believe it or not, it was pretty fricken great.

[@brians_casual_shenanigans]

The New Nightmare was pretty damn good. I'll have to dust it off and play it again.

[@benvanasdale6273]

Great game. The DC version has a few drawbacks (low res CG)...but overall the best version. Some of those scares...

[@VisserZer0]

Oh man, that one takes me back. It's been gathering some dust in my Steam library...

[@vaugna1620]

Oh my god, the main character has the same voice actor as 343 Guilty Spark from Halo

[@ChrisDoesTV]

Jared any chance of an Illbleed review once you finish the Silent Hill retrospective?

[@lokalnyork]

He should hit SuperGreatFriend for that. He's literally playing Carrier right now and made IN-DEPTH LP of Illbleed.

[@robragous]

No Dreamcast survival horror review series is complete with out Blue Stinger. Get it done!!!

[@Mick2K]

The look of the main character reminds me a bit of the characters from Hard Edge (T.R.A.G.) on PS1. Not the best game but I loved it back in the days.

[@Gruntvc]

Might be one for him to review. It does use Tank Controls too.

[@tolil8547]

Genome Soldat but its not a survival horror game. I love hard edge. Got it on my vita

[@thecasualcanuck4590]

I'm loving these niche little titles. Keep this type of content coming. Also, I know you said "it brings the cheese, which", but I heard that as cheesewich. Like some new type of cheese sandwich.

[@MD_Chaos]

Was aware of carrier for a while, but after seeing what it looks like, I’m definitely wanting to check it out. The dreamcast had some interesting survival horror games on there, especially D2, Blue Stinger and illbleed. Carrier seems like it could fit into that mold well.

[@brianboniuk1072]

Finally giving Carrier a little love for the masses, its one of those formulaic survival horror games, but it has enough original touches to distinguish itself from the other offers in Dreamcast catalog. Since you're covering this topic, would you consider making more Dreamcast reviews together with SH retrospective?

[@kaeleklund6728]

Blue Stinger is survival horror adjacent, but I don't wish playing through that on anyone.

[@brianboniuk1072]

@@kaeleklund6728 why though? I know its not a game for genre beginners, but apart from hard ass fights it has a pretty interesting premise and cheesy characters.

[@grahamtaylor8912]

The music in Blue Stinger... arghhhh.

That and blue stingers voice acting is a little...bleh. Not zombie revenge of course (nothing will beat zombie revenge's bad voice acting)

[@huillamdaverc3141]

I really enjoyed Carrier back in the day and had a great time with it and thought it was awesome. Don't know how I would feel when I would play it today. Every Survival-Horror/Resident Evil-Fan should try it out. Thanks Jared for this review and your awesome Channel. I really enjoy your content! Thanks man.

[@tua1809]

Well, i will mark the day when you Review Alone in the Dark

[@GameplayandTalk]

It's great to see someone experienced with the genre take a look at this game.

[@SamiPuma]

I don't know why I never got this game back then, I loved the character designs and usually that's enough for me to get games back then lolol

[@onetime6000]

The animation at the beginning is epic. Well done.

[@Innominate185]

Heck yeah, man! I remember asking you if you’ve played this a few years ago. Was a slightly rough gem back on Dreamcast, one of the first games I bought with money I earned myself. Keep up the great work, Jared

[@Pewpewpew182]

First game I bought for my dreamcast back in 2000. I never finished this game, but I really did like it. Jaleco was my company back in the snes days(brawl bros!!) So I picked this up. Great review

[@XenoJehuty84]

Oh my god, you reviewed this game, I was hoping you might be another soul that played this survival horror gem. This game alone is worth the reason I still have my Dreamcast, well one of several since there's never been a good, proper DC Collection or Virtual Console service of their titles. Too many good, campy Survival Horror gems on that console even if some are just ports. I do agree and admit this game screams RE-Clone from the get-go, but sometimes being a clone isn't a bad thing especially if you carry the spirit of what you're copying in the right places. Sure it gets things wrong too and the cheesy dialogue can ruin the actually decent plot, but I still enjoy it. Kinda wish this game was more popular, maybe get a remaster or something but that's just me. Great video sir!

[@Gruntvc]

Maybe Devolver Digital? Worked for Metal Wolf Chaos XD.

[@jayhbee89]

Ahhh I remember playing this on a demo disc for Dreamcast, sadly I've never seen a physical copy.

I vaguely remember this game, it didn't release officially in the UK to my knowledge so I had to get it on import.

[@dianedevey2767]

I remember quite enjoying this back in the day. I got a huge kick out of all the survival horror games on the dream cast, like this, Illbleed and Blue Shift. I under no circumstances want to go back and waste my time playing any of them again... Maybe Carrier though, just cause I did really like the setting of being on a super carrier.

You are a fantastic creator with a great unique niche--you appeal to RE fans while also exploring other ps1 games us 90s kids never got a chance to try.

Instead of a reticule a laser sight might have been a good idea that wouldn't break immersion by creating a red line between the weapon and where you're aiming (its not really how laser sights work but probably more realistic than the reticule).

[@clownavenger0]

Was that the games actual music in the background? I actually really liked it and would say its a positive point for the game depending just how often it was played and whether or not it got repetitive,

[@imreplyingtothiscomment2378]

Your reviews are great

[@12ealDealOfficial]

The Jaleco label is generally a sign what you're getting will be weird. Brahma Force was a pretty great little game for the PS1, but the ending totally blew my mind when I was young. Also had some above average voice acting.

[@AvalancheReviews]

Other than EDF, I can't remember too many Jaleco games in the DC era. They had a million Super Famicom games though.

[@Steadysphere]

I did enjoy my time with Carrier, but you can definitely tell it's not quite as polished or budgeted as Resident Evil. Some nice twists on the formula though, and it's infinitely better than that Evil Dead RE Clone :P Also JARED! JARED! JARED!

[@viktor_v-ughnda_vaudville_476]

The “Jessifer” comment had me dying that was hilarious

[@AgentCell]

I had a lot of fun with this game and lol moments too. The best way is to play it is with Japanese audio. That colonel shout doesn’t happen in the Japanese audio. He merely whisper it. Plus the voice acting is so much more believable.

[@wdcain1]

Jeleco does a good job developing games that twist genres like how _Vanark_ on the ps1 is a unique Starfox64 rail-shooter. Also _Carrier's_ setting would work for a COD game. I recognized that scene from _Zombie's Revenge._ Is that your next review?
