Meanwhile we got a cut contents like RE3R for 60 bucks and many seem doesnt care anymore, what a "RE community" lol

[@Cold_Zero_The_Wise]

Now if only rockstar would takes notes, this is how you do a remake and re-release an old video game

[@houman2009]

They won’t because they can release one game like gta 5 over 3 times at full price and people still buy it 😂thats why u see gta definitive edition that looks and plays horrible 2/10

[@momomonies]

Rockstar doesn’t care about making a great remake. They want money and only money. The greed has overwhelmed the vision.

[@Cold_Zero_The_Wise]

@@momomonies sadly you are 💯 correct

[@lacasadelvideojuego3880]

Can people stop blaming Rockstar? I mean the gta remakes fiasco was done by a different studio and Take Two own rockstar so they don’t have a word in what T2 thinks…

[@momomonies]

@@lacasadelvideojuego3880 no we will continue to blame the compay that chose to outsource their game remake to a incapable compay for the sake of a quick turnaround and greed. 😁

During the Krauser boss fights in the remake, he said that Leon and him nearly died in the “jungle”. This might imply that Leon was there in Operation Javier, but Leon might be too important to the government that he was omitted from any records of the mission. Maybe that added to Krauser’s personal hatred to Leon because again the government really babied Leon while they just left Krauser to fend for himself.

[@rhemedyextract7688]

Leon was in operation Javier

[@samf.s.7731]

So he couldn't be left to die and couldn't go missing? Instantaneous MC traits conferred upon him by a powerful entity. 😂 The plot armor has been integrated into the actual story. 😅 Edit: Boi is really good though, NGL.

[@Golecom2]

It would be great for another DLC. Most likely both went together and got separated somehow. And Leon escaped and was told of Krauser's apparent death. Leon was close to the president, it wont surprise me if he pulled some strings to have him rescued.

[@sapereaude7376]

Interesting. I’ve always wondered why krauser hated leon so much, and this would explain it

Wesker going to the island solo to retrieve a sample from Krauser's corpse, makes more sense once you play with Wesker in Mercenaries :p

[@kagekun1198]

Thank you for this. People mistake the Pesanta to be the housekeeper when it is actually the housekeeper's spawn. (Personally, I don't think the housekeeper volunteered with her full consent) It explains why the Verdugo sent after Leon had human intelligence, remained a biped and a nasty sense of humor. He was originally human to begin with. Also, I noticed that Isidro reserved the not-so invasive process for himself for his transformation. Jerk. On the other hand, it explains why Pesanta was not quite as focused and a bit more animalistic when hunting Ada. It was never a full human at all, which would be a factor as to why it devolved into a shambling mass during the U3 fight.

[@Odinfang]

Good job man. Dear god this remake was done so well. The lore is so much more rich than it was in the original. Separate Ways having the U-3 “it” with a far bigger role as a stalker before becoming the beast we all know and love was far better than being fused to Salazar. Also, finding out Wesker was on the island, gathering intel and Krauser’s corpse blew my furking mind. Like I thought the island was completely destroyed with Krauser’s corpse being durable enough and surviving somehow, tricell possibly deploying a team to collect him and plaga samples, but instead the island is partially destroyed, leaving Krauser intact, but worst of all, potentially more creatures Wesker has salvaged that we might see in RE5r modified with type-2 and type-3 plaga.

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

It's kind of sad that the Separate Ways DLC sold for $10 with more than twice as much content, replay value and care than the entirety of Resident Evil 3 Remake that sold for $70. At least the backlash from RE3R being butchered saved RE4R as Capcom brought it back in house, booted M Two off it and pushed it back to rework it.

[@johncole4882]

It definitely wasn't $70

[@leninfranco9328]

I love that the file Hunnigan sends you has him as "Luis Serra Navarro" and after that you get to go to the Mendez's house and find a pic called "Los Navarro" of Luis and his grandfather, the father of his mother with a kid who, of course, is Luis, it felt so… rich that I was rewarded for paying attention.

As always, an amazing video 🖤 Thank you so much for all of the time and awesomeness you put into your videos 😊

[@Shadowdragon_TV]

This is by far, the greatest remake of a game ever made. Didn't think they could top RE2 until this came and now with the Separate Ways dlc being even better than the previous imo, RE4 remake feels complete. Now this is officially one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. Game of the year!

You missed a few details around Operation Javier regarding Leon as well as some lore bits about what Wesker did after the events of RE4. Leon was present in Operation Javier and this is made evident by the fact that both of them talk about the mission (with Leon saying it by name), both make reference of it being in a "jungle", and Leon even directly talks about what happens to Krauser's arm. You might ask "but why wasnt he mentioned as a survivor in the file?". I think it's a simple as the government covering up Leon's involvement and any big links to AUPIT. Remember, Krauser may have personally trained Leon, but he was NOT apart of the AUPIT. This is why Krauser doesn't believe in BOWs and this is why Leon is the one who got secret orders, NOT Krauser. The change of Krauser TRAINING Leon, the covering up Leon's of involvement in OJ, and the loss of Krauser's primary team just makes Krauser's deranged hatred of Leon make even more sense. No more is it just Krauser simply being upset he was left out of the secret orders Leon, it's now about being pissed that some "rookie" who he personally TRAINED is somehow above him to such a degree that he gets secret missions directly from the President instead of Krauser. It's no longer just about Krauser being upset about his injury and his lost career, it's s now about the added pain of losing his team AND dealing with the cover-up, which Leon escapes the consequences of as he was OFFICIALLY never reported as being there there. The changes to Operation Javier keep it similar but adds a far more personal stake in Krauser's hatred of Leon IMO, but the main point of this, is the fact that Leon WAS there and his involvement was likely covered up (there's also the rare chance that the file had errors, but I really doubt that as that's a pretty noticeable error). Also, Wesker's involvement with The Organization actually doesn't end in RE4. He actually does a hostile takeover and becomes the sole leader of The Organization after confirming their betrayal. He was also simply working with Tricell behind the backs of The Organization for a few years, particularly helping Excella to gain control over Tricell in order for her to be loyal to him so that he could gain their resources. He of course had plans to revive Umbrella, except in his own vision. However, after locating Spencer and killing him in 2006, he decides to abandon the Umbrella Revival plan to shift focus over to his Uroboros plan instead, faking his death in the process. The abandoned Organization is in chaos, but thanks to plans made prior, Blue Umbrella and their Illegal Umbrella Corps are successfully established. I think the reason why Capcom decided to continue with the remakes up to RE4 and likely RE5, is that they wanted to expand on and deepen the lore, with likely plans on establishing a better connection to Umbrella Corps (the game), RE7, and Village, which all games involved either the The Organization or their successor Blue Umbrella/Umbrella Corps. Also, Umbrella Corps the game strongly suggest Albert Wesker has been cloned. And before anyone asks, the main story of Umbrella Corps is CANON and is actually a bit tied to RE7.

[@sandman6045]

[@neojso]

Excellent explanation as always. I wish there is more detail about regenerator and iron maiden explaining the lore of these unholy creature....

[@danielgorin311]

Hey I remember reading a note that said Ramon was sick and was healed by the cult and that’s how the low iluminados corrupted him might be tripping though

[@Rocket1377]

You didn't mention that Ada now has a cybernetic eye, which is a reference to the Umbrella Chronicles game, where her eye was bandaged following her injuries in RE2. 36:13 Actually, the wrecking ball section WAS in the original RE4. They just expanded that area for this game. I still wish the remake had kept the truck chase.

[@omensoffate]

The truck Chase wasn’t good. Stop it

[@watchmehope6560]

That truck part was ass lol. And im pretty sure it's just a super duper spy eye contact. Some mission impossible crap. Not an eye replacement.

[@mykelmellen2378]

The truck part felt nonsensical, but so did a lot of the original, and people LOVE to praise it for that 🤷. It wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

[@RecreationalValue-gk8jt]

Watching this and your video for the main game makes me want to play this game again. It was such a good game. It seems to me that Capcom really must have listened to the fans feedback as unlike the previous remakes, they actually improved the story and lore of the game. They did make cuts but they were cuts that needed to be cut. Although RE 3 was the biggest cop out for cutting parts out of the game even RE 2 was disappointing as it did cut parts that should not have been cut and they completely messed up the scenarios where Leon and Claire's scenarios don't even gel together and actually contradict each other. Its unlikely but I would love them to do a directors cut for both RE 3 and 2 where they fix these issues.

[@AlbertusSalvatierra]

Something regarding Mendez’s attic notes - I asked an acquaintance of mine if they could translate it from Japanese to English to see if there were any discrepancies, and in interesting detail he found was that, at a glance, the quality of writing in each note grows with a bit of sophistication each time before falling off into madness. I suppose this would imply Mendez was fairly young when he first began his record keeping.

[@GamingHarryYT]

It’s widely known that Ada and Wesker from the Raccoon City incident up until Wesker left to work with Tricell after betraying them, were working for a rival to Umbrella known only as The Organisation. It’s not mentioned in the original either as far as I know.

[@thanashs]

@@GamingHarryYT I don't know but Wesker doesn't give me the vibe to be a subordinate or should i say working for someone else especially in the remake continuity.. anyway bring on RE5 Remake cause the sun will soon set in the age of man (whatever that means) 🤣

[@thisperson1677]

@@thanashs please do some research. Wesker has always been subordinate in some way. To Spencer, which he escaped later after making Umbrella collapse and soon killing the man. He sold the combat data from the proto tyrant in RE1 to ‘the organisation’ on exchange for safety outside of Umbrella, thus working for them. He helped them take down umbrella and later pursued his own goals. After this, he worked with Tricell and Excella, where his plans for Uroboros take form.
