Getting the Original Resident Evil GameCube Remake in 2002

[@MyRetroLife]

Hey guys! Welcome to the FINAL SEASON for the "Main Series" of My Retro Life. There are around 12 full length episodes I have planned for this season. These are different from the "Story Time" episodes I produce in front of my camera, telling you a story that doesn't have a ton of Dad's footage. I thought we'd kick things off with this Resident Evil Gamecube episode, seeing as how the brand new RE 4 remake drops this week! Thank you for for your amazing support over the years. You have no idea how much it means to my family to read your comments. Don't worry, after the "Main Series" ends, there are still tons of stories to tell and videos to produce. Also - BIG NEWS ahead. Stay tuned!

[@tinyrogerts6449]

Thanks for sharing, and giving us a glimpse into your amazing childhood. Being able to reminisce on a special time in your lives (and a better time in general) means a whole lot to a great many of us. Looking forward to whatever future content you put out for us. Thank you Tyler.

[@emonizaz]

Don't want this to be over 😭

[@mjdf122]

Thanks for all your work

[@lsodiumoverdosel]

@@emonizaz My thoughts exactly

[@zachary_attackery]

are these coming out in chronological order as to when they were filmed?

[@poptheweasel100]

Seeing you relaxed on the couch playing a horror game takes me back, in a strange way. Where you didn't have any responsibilities, worries, and all you had in front of you was your game. No smart phones or distractions.

[@ScorpioandSebek]

I know bro

[@MyRetroLife]

I do miss those days, but I also love these days as well. Love my family.

[@erichagen1084]

i still live like that bro

[@yggdrasil4986]

Well, society had other issues back then. It's easy to see everything with a nostalgia filter.

[@spiritwarrior2942]

My experience at the same age was with silent hill 4 the room on Xbox. Many nights I played and my dad watched along with me. I wish I could go back in time

[@NoThanksnothanks]

Probably hear it a million times, but your Dad was really awesome. I couldn’t imagine having someone that passionate about the same hobby I loved, especially my Dad.

[@IvoMaropo]

I'm kinda trying to be just like his dad for my children. I've already spent months playing Breath of The Wild with them. :)

[@ChrisValentine12384]

My Dad enjoyed stuff like Lemmings and Sonic but his passion did not match mine. However, my parents were always happy to buy me the games I wanted. Didn't stop them from saying I was wasting my life haha I don't regret any of it, even to this day.

[@CasualViewer-t4f]

For me and my Dad, we bonded over hockey. He was my coach most of my life. It’s so cool to see a video game Dad bonding with his son.

[@codeninja1]

My son and i play games together all the time. Nes-switch and ps4 ps5 games. He beat breath of the wild by himself(helped him with a few lame shrines) when he was 6. Hes almost 10 now playin tears of the kingdom. Would love to see him playin RE:Village on psvr2 but i can only imagine what will be available by the time hes old enough.

[@NoThanksnothanks]

@@codeninja1 awesome, my kid and I r both obsessed with totk. Had to buy two copies, that was the bad part, ha

[@truegreensmokerconcrete6149]

This warms my heart i grew up watching my big bro play these games as a child he passed away in 2018 🙏🏻 .. it was like watching a horror movie back then

[@SIGuess]

Resident Evil was something consistent in my life when my dad gave me his old copy of Resident Evil 2 I couldn't stop playing it.

[@mjdf122]

The Year Was 1996 And It Was Christmas My Nonno/Grandfather Gifted Me The Original Playstation Big Box Resident Evil What A Game Happy And Blessed Ive Been Around To See All Of The 1980s To Now

[@DOOMFISH360]

I enjoyed that. Took me back to those amazing years. I’m from the UK and I remember going to Japan in 2001 and went to Tokyo Gameshow. I remember seeing the trailer on a Capcom screen for this game. The graphics looked amazing and my jaw nearly hit the floor. It still looks great today. Thanks for these vids. They capture that perfect time when the world was a pretty cool place.

[@M.sami12]

This game was my childhood dream for a long time but i had to wait until the hd remaster in 2015 to play it because i couldn't have a gamecube. And it became my favortie RE game ever. What a cool dad you have.

[@MyRetroLife]

The HD remaster is phenomenal! I have it on Switch

[@Ryandushara]

my dad is still alive but ive been watching your videos nonstop for the nostalgia, we are no longer the gaming duo we were when i was 14, like you said, life gets complicated when you get older, I'm glad you have all these amazing memories with your pops, he seemed like such a charm, and cheers to him for getting you all these games weeks early!

[@CoolDansta]

Absolutely awesome that your dad decided to document moments like this

[@robaxl3088]

*This video inspired me to play Resident Evil HD again on my PS5…the game is even better now with hardly any load times thanks to the power of the PS5.* Your video was awesome too btw!

[@kuramakun84]

You are lucky man! My dad passed away when I was 3 but I know somehow that if I would have had my pops during my teens he would have been like your dad. Thank you for sharing your life with us. It really takes us back to our childhood.

[@Jaym4385]

These videos of you and your Dad remind me of my childhood and bond I had back in the day with my old man. Keep the great videos coming man!

[@voxtek]

It sucks how things change Tyler, life never stops evolving, even when you try to put the brakes on and enjoy it, it just keeps shoving you along. What I appreciate most is that you can show, what we all feel.

[@chrismendoza1883]

Man this is so awesome. Reminds me of my mom getting me a GameCube and RE0 for Christmas one year, I’m 100% sure she had no idea what the series was about, and wasn’t really interested in it herself, but she knew I loved it.

[@bengalboypaco3140]

Thats awesome my mom didnt care for my games either but she made sure i got the ones i loved like kingdom hearts and metal gear solid

[@fathblin]

This is so cool seeing a vlog type of video from the 2000s

[@andrewcrombie1371]

I think we all wanted a dad that took so much interest in something that you loved.

[@leonsus9317]

The save room is what I want to hear right before death. It's so beautiful and serene. 😊

[@cherokeefit4248]

It’s cool you and your dad persevered these memories cool to see how tight you and him were and are. RE1 first remake is tight. I remember it and 0 being so awesome for the cube.

[@MyRetroLife]

Thanks for the comment. We were best friends back in those days. And yes those were games that defined the GameCube no doubt!

[@VanJR.]

Just came across your channel, thank you KZbin algorithm But I must say the nostalgia of the early 2000s is something special.

[@bobby145z]

I don’t usually comment on videos, but thank you for sharing your videos with us. I’m 40 years old now and to this day the best gift my father have giving to me was the nes system with Mario. I’m sure for him was seeing how happy I was when I got it. I look at your videos and it bring back the good old day. You are lucky to had a father that love you so much to see you happy. Thank you again for sharing some of your pass life.

[@MoviesVsRealLife]

What a beautiful video... I started tearing up. 😢. You are a beautiful man and a true gamer.

[@shoheiimamura4067]

Imagine having a dad like yours...Must be Amazing, so jealous.

[@BulldozerBilly]

Love your content! Seeing 16yr old you getting jumped scared by the Zombie around the corner warmed my survival horror heart ❤️

[@schtitt]

Actually the coolest Dad of all time, you two are awesome.

[@Demigod_3scrub]

The Cube is Goated.. I owned MSG 1 twin snakes , RE 0,1,2,3,4 Zelda Windwaker.. I was in heaven Your dad is so awesome btw ! 💯👍

[@rl8073]

My dad was a scumbag to be honest.. I love watching your content because your dad was such a great father and family man. I don't know how to put it exaclty, but I feel like your content shows a side to life that I never got to see. It's obviously special, and I find it entertaining and it makes me hopeful that someday I'll get to have this with my children. So thank you for that and thank you for sharing.

[@leozar69]

I have a similar dad. He has his flaws. But my favourite memories was playing games with him. Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. He would print out the biggest walkthough on paper. We would take turns reading and playing. But we only use the walkthough on the second playthrough. It's pretty much the only time we bonded, and saw him laugh.

[@mediaglitch]

Iv know you for years Tyler and it still blows my mind how much your dad recorded

[@SepticFalcon]

I love that your Dad thought to record these types of moments, very similar reaction/age to me and my 2 brothers with my dad but we never recorded. So this is awesome to see and brings a tear to my eye! 🥰

[@DaRealMrHOBO]

My dad is like this too even today, even tho we didn’t film it as we never used it cause we didn’t wanna buy new tapes being kinda poor, makes me reminisce on waking up to my dad playing red dead revolver or black with snacks waiting for me, good times and thanks for sharing the memories

[@FLAMESNSKULLZGAMING]

I choked up watching how u and ur dad were together. My dad and I were the same he bought me re0 and the hd remake. I’d sit there and record myself on vhs all the time. Thank u for sharing

[@zehnortv1526]

Yeah, this era was so awesome! Plus seeing a remake of Resident Evil in such quality was amazing on GameCube.

[@mwolf9868]

Oh man this took me back. I was your age at the time. This remake blew my mind Great memories

[@jord2760]

Gosh bro thank you for sharing this. Your life story is so captivating and its cool that you have a dad that loves video games as much as you do. What’s more cool is he filmed most of your memories while playing.

[@Jimmy_Peep]

The most beautiful thing about this is the fact that you didn't question ripping it open. When we got games, we played them. These days everyone just buys them and lets sit in the plastic.

[@DarthRaver12]

They way you kiss your dog shows how gentle and kind of a young man you where. I always judge people on there kindness and you sir where. Great young man. Any dad would be proud to call you son

[@joelmora4577]

Me and my kids were into gaming the first time I bought a 3do Panasonic we were amazed we had never seen cutseens and graphics like that sure do miss those days

[@jrudymorganclark2072]

I had that game on GameCube when I was 17 back in 2002, but didn't pass the whole game because it scared me a little, it was my first game and console.

[@MrUhOh_YT]

Your dad is the coolest for capturing these moments. I bet you have a ton.

[@juicebox9871]

Thank you for doing this channel!

[@piffromney1916]

When I have kids I’m recording every gaming moment they have thank u for your channel

[@CompWin7Helper]

I wish i still had my footage from my childhood smhhh All gone 😢 i promise I’m going to record my children childhood memories when i have them one day

[@MIKEHOVIND]

wow what a great piece of history u just caught , im currently playing the RE4 remake that just dropped . growing up in a nerd household i loved this.

[@ReaverSTHLM]

Oh my, didn't expect this video to resonate with me this much. Such a wholesome family experience. That dog. 😢

[@gilfrancisjeno.panchoanime9675]

I'm so glad you still love old consoles like Nintendo consoles. I SALUTE YOU, MAN!!!

[@DesktopCrocs]

I remember playing RE1R on gamecube in 8th grade back in 2008. I was 14 at the time and my first RE as well as M rated game was RE4 and I knew RE1R would be amazing. I was right and got scared lol. Following year or two after that I got the DS version (still have it) and beat that. Back when the remaster for the remake came out I beat that for the first time and was amazed with how good the game was and still is. IMO it still holds up today.

[@salemkid1979]

Resident Evil was a true classic and this remake took my breath away. The graphics are still good to this day! P.S. Your Dad seemed like a very cool guy!

[@iv3x_]

This video brings so much great memories back from the GameCube and the great time I had with it. My Granny gifted me the most of my GC and SNES collection as far as I remember. She didn’t understand anything of it but loved to see me playing the new games 😅

[@SlobMobGaming]

I love this channel because of the nostalgia I get from this especially resident evil my mom is the one who got me into Resident evil this video hits home I’m glad you and your father captured a beautiful time in gaming history thank you for sharing your life with us bro 💯💯

[@360Fov]

lol this is such a wholesome balance of shots of doggo and gameplay.

[@Fernandrop]

woow this is full of nostalgia and i feel identified cause that was one of my favorite games, also Soul Calibur II, now i think im going to play RE remake tonight on the switch. BTW your dad is so cool, i hope you dont have any resent on him for getting distant.

[@TheGrowlerCatB2BGame]

I remember getting this game clearly. My PS2 fat died on me and I was pretty sad about it. However at the same time it justified me going out and buying a Cube. I decided to get one after school on a Friday and then just rent a game from blockbuster video. Maybe after a week or two of having it I saved enough to get RE Remake. It was actually one of the deciding factors as to why I was going to purchase a GameCube. I hopped on the L train very excited and arrived at my Gamestop. I picked up REmake and they even gave me a free strategy guide. One I still own til this day. I also picked up another game: Luigi's Mansion. I found it kind of funny that my first two games I got on the Cube were games that revolved around exploring a mansion lol.

[@bulletpoint728]

The end of an Era! I didn’t expect to get hit in the emotions like that.

[@DreamcastKyle]

Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Resident Evil 2 are my favorite games from the series. Awesome video, love the channel 👍

[@MyRetroLife]

Same! Thanks for watching Kyle

[@stephenpatterson8056]

This man was vlogging before vlogging was vlogging

[@33Dannyb]

The Last Season scared me, even if you stopped making these vids I’d still enjoy them for years to come. They take me back to my youth. I think I’m only 2 years older than you so I can relate so much. Resident Evil Remakes release was memorable for me, my older brother was getting ready to join the Army at the time so it was a bittersweet time, happy and emotional.

[@MyRetroLife]

Thanks man. Don't worry, I still have tons of stories and videos to produce, even though most of the footage will have been used at the end of the season.

[@Supa.Nintendope]

I love your videos dude. They always transport me to simpler times. I watched the Metroid fusion/prime video and it hit home with the separation part too. Always tuning in!

[@Casp3r.aka.Droid.]

That's awesome your dad did this for you and filmed your whole life basically gaming and just being a kid that's what I'm doing for my daughter she has her own KZbin channel that she could always go back on after I'm dead and watch our time together and watch herself grow up and when I'm gone and she's lonely she could always go back and watch our videos and remember the good times and no I'm still there with her

[@cameronharris8848]

I have a fond memory of my older brother taking me to gamestop to buy this on the last day of school when I was in 7th grade.

[@00DeadZ]

Being a massive ps1 Resi evil fan i was really hyped for Remake . I brought the Gamecube just for it . I went on a shopping trip to the mainland as i live on a island to a store called HMV with my parents . I must have been 16 myself My brand new out the box RE1 Remake was scratched up & couldnt play 😅 i was Devo and had to wait a whole week for a new copy . I played og RE1 at least 20 times and that remake scared the crap out of my on my first run

[@xI2eLoaDeDx]

Hey Tyler man I just wanna say I appreciate the stories and moments you share through these videos with your dad. I remember my fist video watching from your channel with your dad. Just the bond and the love just moved me man lol. Hope your doing well take care.

[@MyRetroLife]

Thank you. Appreciate you commenting and saying that! Hope you’re doing well also

Hey Tyler I love these videos bro this game made me feel same way when it came out. I still play till today

That was one of my favourite games of all time. That remake was so scary but addictive . I could only play it at night ☺️

[@leozar69]

Did you ever play Silent Hill on PS1?

[@WisdomTooth1987]

i might be alone , but fixed cameras were a lot more cinematic and made the experience a little more creepy and therefore fun.

[@leozar69]

You and a lot of people 💯

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

Playing this video on my phone while I'm playing RE4 Remake on my PC. Resident Evil is a pretty important game series for me, so I'm always happy to see any nostalgic videos about it. RE has a certain vibe few other games can ever emulate. I got the RE Pack on Steam a while ago, after I'm done with RE4 Remake I'll probably do a run through of REmake.

[@Talesfromtheshelf]

This is something really special. Thanks for sharing

[@FeistyManx]

Fantastic video and channel. We are both the same age so these games and times bring back so many memories. Loved my gamecube. It had so many great games. Can't wait for your next one.

I was 13 in 2002 and I remember in year 2000 I played Resident Evil 2 & 3 for PS1. To this day I haven't played Sega Dreamcast or Nintendo Gamecube. I need to get those 2 systems from somewhere. Also I haven't played Atari Jaguar.

The GameCube low key had great graphics. One of my favorite systems of all time. Mario Party 4, Time Splitters 2, and smash bros. with the buddies was a common occurrence every Friday night… Until Halo2 dropped.

[@leozar69]

For me it was (GC) Chibi-Robo - Harvest moon(s) - Wind Waker and four swords - Geist - Sonic Adventure 2 Battle... Among other bangers. I still play them on my Steam Deck ♥

[@deleriumslayer4931]

I remember being a ps kid , an my parents brought home a gc with re4. I fucking freaked. Came outta nowhere. Will never forget.

[@GodFist215]

The first time I played this game I was so terrified I saved the game like twice never played it again. Then when I got older and brave I finished it and man I have to say re4 remake was a masterpiece. But this is definitely a one of a kind game.

Super Mario All Stars was remade on the Wii for Mario’s 25th Anniversary (Mario Maker for its 30th Anniversary on Wii U & 3DS wasn’t a remaster) and 3D All Stars on Switch for its 35th anniversary on Switch: 64, Sunshine & Galaxy.

[@code2146]

Man what a cool dad!!

[@ElricSowrd]

When I first heard about this Nintendo Dolphin, it was from the Gamefaqs Website thinking "Nintendo Dolphin? What's that?" Originally the Resident Evil Remake was gonna be Fully 3D, but the Gamecube couldn't handle the Graphics that were used for the environment, so just like the original, the Remakers had to use the old Pre-Rendered Backgrounds technique. I wouldn't be able to get a Gamecube until 2004.
