Resident Evil's Humble Beginnings

Jill: I´m a member of STARS... Nemy: mmm Stars?

[@DarkEinherjar]

The DS version of RE1 is the definitive version of the original for me. Quick turn, auto aim, knife no longer takes inventory space, and you can skip cutscenes and even the door animations.

[@SilverHunterN]

Plus it has rebirth mode, where you get to blow candles through the mic, and a whole new set of puzzles that were not in the original mode.

[@michaeloverton04]

In the Saturn version, a zombie version of Wesker can be found and killed in the battle mode. So, yeah, it's safe to say that he wasn't planned for any of the sequels.

[@galten7361]

@michaeloverton04 His broad characterization circa 5 of wishing to use bioweapons to exterminate the normies was still in his pitch back then. He was supposed to be planning to unleash more bioweapons to make cullings and build his new world.

[@JuanxDlol]

You actually have enough ammo in re 1 to kill all the enemies in the game, but you need not only to understand the game enemies but to plan ahead with your choosen run.

Man, you sure know how to describe your experience with these games and the story in a entertaining and compelling way. I’m curious to see you tackle other series this way. Man, is the campiness of that game fun to watch. It can be hard to believe at times that this horror series started that way. If another remake were to happen someday I’m weirdly hoping it has an option that can keep the campiness.

[@anonymousgamer5771]

13:07 Funny you bring up the Captain America comparison because both Chris and Cap were voiced by Roger Craig Smith for a few years.

This is my favorite series ever. Well yeah Resident Evil, but I meant your Humble Beginnings series. ❤️ Looking forward to way more!

First played RE in 1998 on the PS 1 Resident Evil: Directors Cut. Since then it’s been my all time favorite gaming franchise. It’s amazing to see how much it’s grown and to see so many others who like it too. RE will not be stopping any time soon. And that’s a good thing.

[@pol5770]

apparently the original actors were given lines but had no idea what thee context was so they did multiple takes. the scouting agents at capcom spliced the lines together but didn't speak much English. In Japanese markets most buyers didn't notice because English wasn't their native tongue but it sounded strange to English's speaking markets.

[@GuyDude-hk8uy]

That completely matches the way it sounds imo - like native English speakers reading lines without context, which were then spliced together and assembled by non native-English speakers. The whole thing has this uncanny sound, because the pronunciation, accents etc. are perfect, but the intonation, cadences etc. are all wrong.

[@hoyhoy852]

@@GuyDude-hk8uy the script itself is very poor too. Japanese version contains the original script of the game in the form of subtitles, and people have found many mistranslations comparing the two.

[@skateorpie]

Yeah the OG actors were VERY confused with the script and had zero direction. Feel bad for them but hey, the game did well lol

My brother's and I got a ps1 for Christmas we each got a game, I got RE:1. I was the oldest Soni got to play my game first, and I put in Resident Evil and the TV powered on after the PS Logo and whatnot so the first image we saw was that intro cutscene... both my brothers shouted at me, "TV video! You gotta press TV video!!" And holding the controller I looked back at them and said I'm with WAY TOO MUCH seriousness, "It is on TV video," and we were all flabbergasted and hooked. It was an amazing Christmas morning, I think 7th grade maybe?...

[@MrDarksol]

Man it feels almost alien to look at original Resident evil and then compare it to what came afterwards. We went from very campy survivor horror to action movie levels of mission impossible with some zombies thrown in the later games then back to survival horror with 7 and then back again with action movie with 8. Although there is a charm to the campiness of the original OG game which thank God 4 remake kept a good chunk of its campiness from the original version of 4 even if a lot of it isn't completely there. It's just something you can't remove from Resident Evil no matter what. That said the best thing to come from this is the realization that Barry Burton's English voice actor is the same guy who voices red from Mega man X7. Oh and the Jill sandwich line never forget that line lol. Great job Clement!

[@galten7361]

@MrDarksol The series was always supposed to be an attempt at mixing the action movies that were popular at the time with horror scenarios in both gaming and wider pop culture. You can just put the protagonists in the first 3 games (all either military backgrounds or in big city law enforcement with their designs and combat reflecting it besides Claire who at least was trained by Chris) against the ones from Fatal Frame or Silent Hill (all normies with no real combat skill and have to get by on just handguns if any).

[@MrDarksol]

@galten7361 No I would not basically believe that if it weren't for the fact that I hear so many people complaining whenever Resident Evil goes Too Much into action and less into horror or they WANT More horror but the Minute they see any sense of action they start complaining again. It's a never-ending cycle.

[@galten7361]

@@MrDarksol A lof them just think the series is supposed to be a Japanese Last of Us or whatever where the heroes are supposed to be bands of "survivalists" in a society/world that already died and need to just survive or at best find a walled fortress/community/whatever and plant themselves with no real hope for what happened to be undone (especially when stuff like Walking Dead has pretty obvious "well ackshually a zombie apocalypse would be a great"). Even with the series undeniable inspirations from stuff like Romero's films it still undeniably took inspirations from stuff like Predator or Alien/Aliens. Even in the 2nd game the series the series was far more focused on combat with the game granting you far more weaponry and situations you can just clear out hordes. The third game flat-out had a Terminator analogue there.

[@Bornagainvillain]

Fun Fact: PS1 Resident Evil is a bit of a remake/reimagining of a horror rpg called Sweet Home.

[@johandori7795]

Honestly, I really wish for a second remake too...of RE2. I want me those fixed camera angle, the prerendered world, and beautiful clunky ass tank controls. I miss the old style of Resident Evil, with it's mix of sincerity and 80s/90s camp, and despite not having personally played a classis style RE game (my first one was the Wii version of RE4) until late last year (2022) or early this year (2023), it hooked me immediately. It (REmake) also freaked the pants off me, so, there's that. The modern remakes have never actually been horror games for me, not even the much lauded RE2 Remake, I've enjoyed (most of) them (some of the time), but for me they have more problems that bright spots. So I'd really love for RE2 and RE3 to get remakes in the classic style, the way that the original Resident Evil did back on the Gamecube, but with all the power modern machines can give...oh, and the old art styling, I really dislike the RE Engine faces, they're friggin ugly to me, too real.

Technically, the very first Resident Evil game wasnt even on the PS1, it was on the NES; It was called "Sweet Home" and it was what Resident Evil was originally supposed to be.but due to its graphic nature for its time it never saw a western release, it only exists now as a translated fan port. Even more interesting to know, that game "Sweet Home" was meant to be released next to a live action horror movie of the same name; It should still be available to watch somewhere on KZbin.
