[@UltimaKeyMaster]

@jesus barrera Yeah, blame Nintendo for everyone buying $60 games at $60 proving why the business never needs to lower its prices to sell copies. Uh huh.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

@jesus barrera If it still gets them money, from a business standpoint they never need to. Am I saying it's BETTER that Nintendo always keeps their games at 60 all the time? Hell no, it kind of is a pain in the ass that lots of games quickly dip and launch titles are still full price. But from Nintendo's view...they never need to cause everyone still buys them for that. They REALLY need to do Nintendo Selects already for Switch for Breath of the Wild *or hell ARMS cause they're trying to re-market it* but million-copy sellers at full price is a lot of bank to be made.

The irony is that once Capcom finally ported RE1 Remake to modern consoles and pc it sold extremely well and that's why they decided to "remake" RE2 and RE3. Unfortunately, the teams behind the two recent remakes did not have Shinji Mikami there to make sure nothing was cut, but push to improve and add like with the RE1 Remake.

Besides, I like having multiple characters around. Jokes aside, though, it didn't really influence the other games in the series, not in terms of plot nor gameplay. On nothing, really.

God damn though, those pre-rendered scenes makes these games look so freaking good

[@BloodRedFox2008]

Fun factoid: in Umbrella Chronicles some of the new scenarios they added involving Rebecca help to better bridge the gap between 0 and 1, and further explain that the reason why she's more danger prone in RE1 is because she never got any chance to get any proper sleep, so by RE1 she's sleep deprived and not really on her A game (I think it was stated somewhere that the newer scenarios in Umbrella Chronicles that aren't retellings of events from RE0, 1, and 3 are considered canon). Also the N64 version of RE2 included a new file which indicated Rebecca faked Billy's death in a report, but the canon of this file is in question.

[@ApprenticeNick]

Have you heard of "Under the Skin" (recently covered by Nitro Rad)? I heard it has a RE level in it.

[@danielmoran1891]

17:57 This shows just how top tier Johnny is as a reviewer because when I heard the pause and then the "I don't like this game", my stomach sank on behalf of the reviewer cause I KNOW this fucker is thorough.

Hey, great review as always Johnny. Just wanted to say that THE SOUND EFFECT FOR THE DASH MADE ME LAUGH FOR ONE MINUTE 😂

[@Gruntvc]

Resident Evil 1 Remake 2002 is arguably the best remake ever done. It stays faithful to the PS1 classic, but adds a ton of content and improves the shortcomings of the original. Really wish Capcom would've done the same for RE2 and RE3, but no Shinji Mikami after RE4.

[@IkariMetalSlugger]

Agreed. I don't know how you look at everything the RE1 remake did so right and just completely ignore all of that just to give us these boring, over the shoulder, modern style horror games instead.

[@Da_ComputerMonster]

Honestly wouldn't say the REmake 2 we got is nothing to scoff at. (REmak3...Maybe struck alil too soon.) Though, if I am honest, it would've been interesting to see 2 and 3 remade in the style of REmake. (The Classic style, basically) Perhaps that would make for a fun Fan Project now that these REmakes are done, wouldn't you say?

[@IkariMetalSlugger]

@@Da_ComputerMonster With the money Capcom wasted on all these crappy spin-off games over the years, they could have funded such projects themselves.

[@Michael-590]

Resident Evil Remake certainly has the most foreboding atmosphere in my experience. The music and lack of character interactions compared to other titles helps. The characters being too chatty kind of undermines the atmosphere.

[@Gruntvc]

@Shin Computer-Monster, Resident Evil 2 Remake already made some questionable cuts and changes, but I definitely enjoyed the gameplay. I considered it my game of the year for 2019. I was hoping for the same with RE3 Remake, but unfortunately, they make so many more cuts and changes I can barely even call it a remake. It's more a reboot. As it stands, RE3 Remake is at best a good game, but not a game of the year contender. Capcom definitely rushed it and knew the single player would not be worth $60+, so they bolted on Project Resistance which has loot boxes and microtransactions up $29.99. No thanks, bro. Fans are doing a better job preserving the classic trilogy than Capcom. There's fans hard at work getting the old games to work on modern pcs in HD. Meanwhile, Capcom hasn't rereleased the original games in some form on any of the current available consoles or pc. A shameful display. I've seen a few fan projects, one which started as an RE2 Remake before it became its own game, Daymare 1998.

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

2:42 for clarity, you can blame that on Phillips end Johnny, especially after Nintendo curbstomping the original PlayStation company, only to screw themselves over

[@megaman15ish]

Resident Evil 2002 is my favorite remake of all time. It also has my favorite version of Jill

[@azurelionheart]

Looking back on reviews like these, it's kind of nice how far Johnny's come on reviewing games he doesn't like. Less shouting at games like Big Rigs or Saw for their vices, more like he's just disappointed- I really appreciate how he tries to look at the mindset of *why* certain decisions might have been made in development, but of course some things you can't excuse. Looking forward to more years of these great videos.

[@nohomers100]

Playing through zero. I was convinced billy would become the tyrant in RE1. I think that would have been interesting and given some point to his character

[@snake-oz8nu]

So in less than 24 hrs they turned him into a Tyrant? Even if that wasn't completely unrealistic, how would they do it if all the researchers and scientists died and turned into zombies prior to both these games. Although would be cool, doesn't make any sense.

[@nohomers100]

@@snake-oz8nu You're applying real world logic to the batshit insane nonsense of this series? Besides they have shown people turning into monsters inside of ten minutes after being given a virus. Birkin? Steve?

The first one and the second animated movie are both fine.

[@Lightspeeds]

@@oscarmccormack1611 For me, the movies didn't start going downhill until the third.

[@brandonlyon730]

I thought the first two were fine, but yeah things really went down hill in the third movie. And I swear there continuity is 10 times worse then the X-men films were.

[@megaman15ish]

All of the movies are terrible. I feel like people only like the first two movies because everything from the third onward was so abysmal it makes the first two look good.

[@shariefmills9903]

the wesker controlled rebecca mode in the hd versions makes me wish that she had been mind controlled by wesker in 5 instead of jill.(outside of 5's mercenaries mode, vendetta and the mention of her in the b.s.a.a she really does disappear after 1 and it would be cool to she ,the s.t.a.r.s members and their allies throughout the games and spinoffs were the focus in resident evil 8.:3 and also the photo of rebecca that wesker had in 2/remake that makes me wonder if he had interest/feelings for her.)

[@Michael-590]

Yeah, whenever I play Resident Evil 0, I use Billy to explore and clear out new areas of enemies and keep Rebecca behind and carry most of the healing and puzzle items. That’s probably the best way to play the game.
