Giant Bombcast 08/12/2014 - Jeff's Rant About the Resident Evil Remake and Capcom

[@DozyBinsh]

my favorite part is around 10 seconds in, right after Dan says he thinks the remake is a great idea, you can hear Jeff's tense inhale as he tries to contain himself XD

[@Spitznock]

I love how long Jeff remains quiet.

[@M1d32]

Erupted like a volcano 😂😂

[@eandjproductions2]

NO THEY AREN'T!

[@RockBottomRiser21]

NO THEY AREN'T!

@@RockBottomRiser21 NO THEY AREN'T!

[@micheljavert5923]

I just imagine Jeff sitting through the whole first part of this, managing to keep his sh!t together. But as soon as Brad says Capcom is making a new game, his eye starts twitching as he loses it.

[@cranjismcbasketball9915]

"This is the end of the world man!" Jeff saw the future.

[@ShinYaguchiSama]

Feel like shit Just want 2014 giant bomb back

[@geetarplayer174]

Awh man. Jeff's rants always make me grin like an idiot in public with my headphones in. It's fantastic.

[@redbaron2455]

SAME IF ANYONE tells me anything i just say jeff gertsman

[@citizenhal]

that's what capscoms beens doings

[@Doritoboy69]

Love that pause between "Capcom is making a new video game ya'll and "NO THEY AREN'T" Perfect picture for the clip too

[@blommen]

"THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD, MAN!"

[@averageo2343]

Rants like this make me understand why people who only listen to the podcast usually picture Jeff as their idealistic image of a handsome young rebel, with spiky hair or a surfer goatee

[@michealangelo12865]

+AverageO Umm that's Drew.

[@averageo2343]

michealangelo12865 what's even remotely rebellious about drew?

[@averageo2343]

***** itunes

[@ripelivejam]

considering audio only i get a real The Dude vibe from him.

[@averageo2343]

lol that's probably closer to what Jeff actually is.

[@CoughyHaus]

RE4 and dead space remake got me feeling like this especially after playing the originals both for the first time last year on the consoles the remakes are coming out on and the OGs still REALLY work

[@PointlesslyNecessaryConvos]

Both are examples of why remakes should exist. Both the remakes are better versions of the ogs

[@aliets]

@@PointlesslyNecessaryConvoslol. lmao. im sure you think the demons souls remake is better than the original too.

[@TomboBrewster]

Jeff called this 2014!!!! They're still doing it

[@ggmann13]

"They're fuckin up resing a remake..."

[@pkattk]

You can hear Jeff's migraine in his voice.

[@TheBroz]

The comedy of this is priceless, they knew exactly what they were doing with that setup.

[@ggmann13]

Lol god damn that tense sigh from Jeff hahah

[@driverx241]

capcom is making a new video game y'all

[@DudeLongcouch]

driverx241 NO THEY AREN'T

[@AndyQuinton]

Apply this to all entertainment now.

[@extremejay1]

"This is the end of the world, man!"- Jeff would repeat this at E3 2015 ;)

[@specknacken6507]

Apply this to the RE4 Remake...

[@SaburoOkita]

In the year of our Lord 2024, and we're hearing rumors about a REmake of the REmastered version of the REmake of the first Resident Evil game. Lord help us.

[@ripelivejam]

dan's laugh is so good

[@AndyQuinton]

Praise be to Jeff Gerstmann.

[@caseyrau]

I had to listen to this again when I saw Wicked described as “A movie musical based on a musical based on a book based on a movie based on a book.”

[@smnoy23]

This is always good but it's even better to listen to now that 2019 has been the year of the Capcom Renaissance

[@haj_endot]

it's like capcom woke up after blacking out drunk, looked in the mirror, and *fixed their shit*

[@overtherenowaitthere]

looking back this could have been the first whispers of what became the REmake 2

[@Twisttheawesome]

Hard, real truth: We're fucking old. There are people born in 2002 old enough to want to play the first Resident Evil but only buy digital games. If you are over 23 you are no longer the target demographic for videogames

[@NotsoHardcore1]

Lol Jeff is a treasure.

[@miket492]

Who is here after Naughty Dog announced they are charging $70 for the remake of The Last of Us? They resold a remastered version 1 year after the original launched. Which you can play on a PS5 and still looks good today.

[@Bloodymecha]

Capcom never stopped doing this but they did improve everything else they've done as well.

[@redbaron2455]

this is the end of the world, mannn!

[@billhell7143]

Now they're remaking remake

[@LawrenceKassab]

Capcom, like the Phoenix rising

[@superspecky4eyes]

Jeff, keeping it real.

[@press_x_tojason]

If Brad didn't say "Capcom is making a new game, y'all", there would have been zero reason for anger. Re-remastering a game that would otherwise not be playable on modern systems only makes sense.

[@Marcelg13]

Jeff is always right

[@MagikGimp]

lol and also dat fucking end.

[@MagikGimp]

He kept it in for as long as he could take it but don't hold back brother! Sometimes he's the only voice of reason in a sheeple world. Well most of the time, even Jeff occasionally sucumbs to the mundane being led by the mundaner(?).

[@poobumbutt]

Totally, man. Fight the system.

[@redassassian]

its hell of a lot better remaking games that old to HD than games from last generation all getting remastered. Jeff is in the minority of people who keep old systems up and running. 3 people from this podcast who hasn't beaten it. their lives are about videogames!!!! so we are part of consumerism if we want these old games updated despite the same people will buy blue ray versions of old movies!!!

[@zeawesomebassplayer]

I appreciate everything, Myggen, that you upload, but just so you know, someone else has already uploaded this particular bombcast clip. Not to stop you or anything, but uh, yah. Um. Keep it up?

[@myggenmyggen9325]

BillyMaysRIP Ah goddamnit, I for some reason didn't find it with my basic search for the video. I'll consider taking it down, no reason to have two identical clips up.

[@zeawesomebassplayer]

naw man keep it up, fuck every one else.

[@Zellx]

Myggen Myggen As the guy with that clip, fuck that noise. Keep on keeping on.

[@Manx123]

Meh. Jeff's point is overstated, since when these remakes are released of various games, they are some of the best games that come out. It turns out a lot of the time, you can provide consumer a better experience by remastering games than by making new ones.

[@noobishmacgaming]

I understand that Jeff hates the series and that’s his right. But this is one of those rare times where his bias overrides common sense. A lot of people didn’t own a GameCube or a wii, and thusly never got to play remake 1 unless they dick around with emulators. Having a modern release, especially on pc, was a good thing. It sold well and helped capcom realize that they could make horror work again in the series.

[@twistedoperator4422]

Was that "horror" or nostalgia tho

[@darthbane2669]

ok you lose all credit as a gamer if you never played the gc remake for re1 from the ps1....seriously.

[@joeblowe3180]

I don't want to be a "gamer". I just play video games. And CapCom is garbage

[@cryssnail]

Gatekeeping is so 2007
