Lol, believe it or not? There are plenty of way worse RE games. RE1 remake is widely considered one of the best, if not the best, in the series. It's ok if it's not for you though.

This game is still, to this day, THE perfect RE game. It took what made the original good, and made it better. Maybe it takes an old school RE fan to fully appreciate what they accomplished with this game. Having been there from the very beginning, it holds a special place in my heart and few RE games since have reached the expectations set by REmake. Us fans are usually split between fixed camera angles and over the shoulder gameplay, and I gotta say, a good amount of us would love a true return to form.

Survival horror doesn't get better than this (well, except Silent Hill and Silent Hill 2). Playing RE is fun. Still got RE2, RE3 and REC:V to play.

When it first came out I really enjoyed it, but over the years its issues have made it more of a chore to play than anything.

Playing it today is still a great experience. The game is not at fault in this scenario. RE1 has never crashed on me. As far as controls, every kid with PS1, and then a PS2 and then a Gamecube was able to figure out controls just fine without complaint. Also, the knife is very handy.

[@adamprotzman6059]

This has to be the most backwards game review of all time. The remake treatment this game got is what a lot of fans wanted for RE2 and RE3, it’s as perfect a remake you could get. As far as the controls and camera complaint, it looks like you were playing with the “modern controls”, the game was designed to play with tank controls and although they get a lot of hate in the modern era, they just work. With inventory management, that is literally half, if not more, of what survival horror is about. If you don’t want to have to go through so many doors, you’ll have to manage your inventory better to mitigate this. Everything this game does right is what the modern remakes of today are sorely missing

[@CNRMRY_YT]

Controls are on me, didn't try tank. Thanks for the comment.

[@tomhuynh3867]

The reasons for fixed camera angles and tank controls besides maintaining horror film elements was hardware limitations. The original RE1 was planned to be a FPS, but scrapped for the more cost efficient methods we see. Fast forward to GameCube era we have both RE 1 remake and 0 vs RE4. The former is traditional photo realistic background art, while the other is an actual 3D environment to navigate in over the shoulder 3rd person. Look at RE 7 and 8 to see successful attempt at FPS mode. The RE2 and 3 remakes camera and control are much better . The stress of item management, atmosphere, and enemy encounters is still present despite shortcomings in set pieces. An example of fixed camera angle and tank controls failing horribly in modern gaming would be the Evil Within’s QTE segments.

The old design sticks with you because it's part of the challenge. Then you get better and faster. And then you will be like the rest of us clamoring for more.

[@GaretPutman]

Let me explain to the young people who were not alive or able to play this remake or the original when they were released. This was a GameCube exclusive that came out 6 years after the original... a revolutionary game for a console that was considered a toy to most at the time. Playstation 2 didn't have this shit. This game was out of fucking control for that generation of consoles. It was terrifying and made the player feel like they themselves were lost in the Spencer Mansion. It worked because it's an extremely faithful remake which didn't detract or stray from the strengths of the original, only expanded. RE4 hadn't been released as another GameCube exclusive yet and you kids would have never had an over the shoulder camera RE game had it not happened the way it did. I appreciate them all but only these games are true survival horror.

[@JakeUhBryan]

The reason it’s so annoying to go around the corners is because the original remake was made with tank controls in mind. You must’ve played with the modern controls option they had in the remaster. When I started playing the remaster, I tried out both and tank controls, as archaic feeling as they may be, are honestly the way to go since they aren’t based off of where you’re looking like the modern controls are.

[@SomniaCE]

Can't imagine a more incorrect opinion tbh. REmake is still about as close to a perfect game as it gets. Maybe your sensibilities are too stuck in modernity for it and thats understandable as there are hundreds of amazing games from years past most refuse to try out due to their perceived obscelesence. But those games aren't bad, they're just from a different era. They're as good today as they were upon release, the only things that's changed is your ability to adapt or have patience for any quirks in control or design that will inevitably grind against modern sensibilities forged by 10+ years of highly homogeneous design.

[@SomniaCE]

I respect why people want it to be remade but the game really is a masterpiece and its impossible to take it seriously when someone says it isn't. People are spoiled by everything playing and controlling pretty similarly. It's lead so many people to think that the games of yesteryear are bad simply for not conforming to what we expect from games nowadays. I'm not that old (28) but I'm glad I grew up in a time where the late PS1/early PS2 days were where I started playing games. Maybe that's why I'm not so bothered by it all in the same way that people 10 years older than me can regularly play and appreciate NES/SNES games in ways I simply can't (not that I don't have tons of games I love from those eras, just that I rarely seek new experiences from them out). I'm sure if I sat someone 18 down in front of a game like this it would drive them insane, I get that. But that doesn't mean it's bad or that $100m needs to be spent on a 3+ year dev cycle from a talented studio of hundreds of devs just to make a fantastic game play more to a modern audience that has little patience for something different. If the game isn't enjoyable for someone I get that. If they feel it's too old or outdated for them to enjoy I 100% understand and appreciate that. But that doesn't mean its bad.

A lot of people are seemingly bogged down by the fact that I didn't like THIS Resident Evil 1, and ignoring all the things I said I enjoyed about the game. The main criticism is that it simply does not hold up TODAY. If it got touch ups on some of the finer things and maybe a reevaluation of a couple very specific decisions, I think it would easily be one of the best in the series. Thanks for the comment.

No. It simply doesn't need a remake. There are several RE games that need a remake treatment but this game ain't one of them. But I watched your video to see what points you've made: 1. I haven't had performance issues or crashing issues not sure why that happened to you 2. I agree. They should've made it where you could skip door loading animations. Sure you could use a mod on PC but it would be nice if Capcom implements this on all platforms 3. Well you just described it yourself. Game design and map design specifically for a survival horror. Not sure why you made that assumption that every single door needs to be accessible 4. There are two control schemes for this game. Should've tried both to see which one was better for you but tank controls are still the best and not sure with what controller you played but with playstation controller and D-Pad you can control your character better 5. I agree. The whole questionnaire thing was stupid for the new players lmao. But yeah Jill is the easy mode because of more inventory space, Barry helping you out through the game and grenade launcher and Chris is sorta the hard mode. Less inventory space but more resistant towards damage. You have to figure out stuff with the movement in order to use the knife efficiently.

Damn dude, never heard such an invalid critique on this game, pretty sure it's just not for you and best to leave it at that. REmake is still regarded as one of the best RE games ever made, including the modern titles. The old camera angles were part of what made these games tense and gave them actual direction. I'd absolutely take entering a new room, seeing only a small section of a hallway while hearing some unseen monster knowing full well I'm now trapped in there with whatever could be right off screen vs over-the-shoulder cameras that let you see everything immediately taking away all suspense... While the new games are fun, they have nothing on the horror factor of the classics for this reason alone. Plus, as so many others have already said, it's meant to be played with tank controls so your direction doesn't change with every camera angle. The doors were a combination of hiding load times and creating suspense, as this isn't meant to be a run and gun type of game with non-stop action, you need to take your time with it. As for the knife, this is a survival horror game, the knife is there as a last ditch effort if you run out of ammo, or want to simply do a challenge run (which is entirely possible to play through this entire game with only the knife). Sounds to me like you're too used to running up to downed enemies in re4 to swipe at them with the knife and save ammo that way? This isn't that type of game. Your complaints about the limited inventory and map layout (coming across a broken door that forces you to find another way in? 😱), are literally staples of survival horror... This critique kinda feels like someone playing Forza for the fist time and complaining that it's outdated because you can't shoot an AK-47 out the window since they are just used to playing GTA, it's just.. just not for you lol

[@VincentBrooks437]

I matured mostly around the 2000 era as I was born in 87. Even today I feel like a natural when watching movies and playing games that were released during the 90s.

I strongly disagree with you, but I don't want to trash your review, I think all of these are reasonable gripes, but I don't think they make the game bad. I think it's okay to admit you just didn't like the game without that being an indictment of it. The Resident Evil remake was for fans of the first game, and it kind of just sounds like you don't like Resident Evil. Which is frustrating when you want to get into a franchise, but I ran into this same problem with some of the Zelda games, which is that, while they're objectively good games, I just didn't like how they played, and that's okay, people can have different tastes.

8:20 The camera based controls were added to the remaster version of the remake because the sheer rocket science of pressing up on your movement controls causing the character to move forward relative to their current orientation is a concept that is too difficult to comprehend. I do get that camera based control initially seem wierd but watching people struggle with exactly the thing you mentioned in lets plays really annoys me. Although I should mention that people who speedrun the game also use the camera based controls because the instant turnaround makes it way, way easier to dodge enemies... Which I think is really another oversight in their implementation.

this is the best resident remake ever

[@Z3ZP]

I think your opinion is valid, allthough from a fan of the series, alot of this feels like the game just isn’t for you and you cherrypick problems that most of, have solutions especially on the PC port. Fast doors mod for example removes that gripe completely. Secondly, any older resident evil game is not meant to be a fluid experience, all of the jank is a very aware design choice. Also, can you people stop complaining about the controls… Just play with tank controls, they are VERY intuitive, if you think otherwise, that is a you problem, not the controls fault. Also, Chris has a lot more health and is usually easier for a newer player, since health is a bigger issue for a new player than backtracking or ammo. Iirc Chris has more than double the health of Jill. But overall, its good to have opinions on both sides of the spectrum. Good video.

[@CNRMRY_YT]

Thanks for the comment. I was aware of door skip mods, but given that I play games to form an opinion on them based on how they were intended to be played, I chose not to use them. Controls might be on me, didn't realize the choice made that big of a difference. As someone who's played most of the other games, I understand the gameplay side of things. I rarely even got hit while playing, I think I only died throughout my whole playthrough maybe 3 or 4 times. Because of this, I would have personally preferred just having those extra inventory slots rather than the health.

As someone who played almost all the mainline RE games (just not RE4 Remake yet) and considers the RE1 Remake to be his favorite (based on playing the Wii port), I can honestly say that I found none of your critiques to be "wrong". That is, aside from not evaluating the tank controls, which might have mitigated your issues with the camera. Between that, plus your review and later comment interactions both appearing to be in good faith, you have earned a "Like" from me. The only other aspect I somewhat disagree on is how balanced Chris and Jill are, even if the game admittedly does not communicate that clearly. *If you want me to elaborate a bit further down...* For me, Chris is advantageous not only when it comes to having higher health, but also having a better chance of scoring zombie headshots with the handgun, having a superior exclusive defense item (his flash grenades can automatically decapitate zombies), having more shotgun/magnum ammo available, not needing to manage the grenade launcher plus its multiple ammo types in his inventory too, and the extra space dedicated for the lighter being more consistently useful across the campaign than Jill's extra space for a lockpick. At least for me in the long run, Chris' latter two advantages somewhat compensated for him having two less inventory spaces than Jill. Granted, I do think Jill's unique advantages and greater help from Barry make her a better choice specifically for speed-runners and beginners. But once I examined both characters, I found Chris to be more efficient for the moment-to-moment gameplay, as long as one knows what they are doing.

I gotta say, I enjoyed watching the video because it challenged my ideas. I don't have to agree with something in order to enjoy it. RE1 is not only one of my favorite RE games, but also one of my favorite games. And that's why I have a lot to say. I only played the PS4 port (HD remaster) version of the game and I don't remember it crashing once, and I beat it twice, once with each character. Those doors have some visual appeal. They're not identical. Each room type will have a different door. Aside from that, it gives you a chance to breathe, reflect, and pause, or have fun guessing what will be waiting in the next room. Plus, it's a transitional phase to introduce a dynamic shift in camera perspective, background music, and environment. The creaking of hinges also adds to the horror atmosphere. Better a door animation than a loading screen, in my opinion. If you play any modern game with traditional loading screens and make the computation, it won't be that much different time spent waiting for something. The classic RE games are meant to be slow-paced where players strategize and think and explore and search and backtrack in confusion, like navigating a maze, not a modern action-packed instant gratification game. However, I do believe that if this animation can be skippable, and developers chose not to implement it, then it is a fault from their side. As for the combination of abruptly-shifting fixed camera angles and tank controls, it's was made for both stylistic reasons and technical limitations of the earlier console. Fixed cameras achieved a cinematic feel (stylistic) and hid the graphical limitations of levels (technical), and also added more horror, since you know there's a zombie from the sound, but won't find out where it actually is until the camera perspective shifts. As for the movement, the idea was, you're supposed to feel disoriented, lost, clumsy, to add more horror and tension. In real life, a person trapped in haunted mansion won't have precision movements. Plus, with practice and patience, movements become more intuitive. I used to suck at it, but now, appreciate it a lot, and it's worth the time invested to learn it. In addition, the HD remaster version introduced modern controls (where you use all four directional buttons to move instead of only up and down ), but I stopped using it after I learned how to use the original scheme, which suited the camera angles much better. As for the knife, I myself never use it, because it's too hard to master and get good at using. An intermediate player like me will also find it an extra dead weight to your limited inventory, so I just stash it in the storage box. To save ammo, I try to not hit zombies and run away, rather than use the knife against them. I saw some knife-only playthroughs online, but I know these are very tough to master, and only expert players can do.

[@tomhuynh3867]

All the design flaws are built around hardware limitations of the original ps1, while maintaining a horror film vibe. The cost efficient method worked and became tradition which has not age well. Survival horror should not be a battle against basic controls and cameras. The OG resident evil with fixed camera and tank control works in the mindset of an RPG game where you fight or flight. The former you decided what weapons to used based on experimenting with types, auto lock on, and have moments of critical hit damage. Remake 2 and 3 despite the action game style camera and control maintain stress from item management, atmosphere, and enemy encounters. Avoiding enemies is still a viable option to extremely necessary on the harder difficulty. A horrible example of fixed camera and tank controls in modern games be the QTE of the Evil Within, which was created by the original director of Resident Evil.

I would love an over-the-shoulder remake of the game. The remake in 2002 scared the hell out of me. A new remake would have the potential of being the scariest RE game of all time.

[@emeralddreamer7738]

RE1 remake needs to happen. New fans who were introduced to Resident Evil universe via RE2 remake have no idea how Chris, Jill & Wesker know each other. Both RE1 and RE5 are games that are playable and easy to get. Neither needs remake, but both could use it. Why? Because they are kinda dated. So both kinda deserve remake. But it would be weird to get RE5 remake before RE1.

[@CNRMRY_YT]

I agree. People are less inclined to play the old games because of how accessible and refined the remakes are. A lot of people misconstrued this video as me hating the game, and I just don't lol. I like the story, environment, combat is (mostly) okay, but theres a lot of changes as far as context and QOL that could make this a legitimately perfect game.

[@lolusuck386]

The problem I have is that if RE was remade again using the modern design of their games, then this version would be erased from digital history. Capcom doesn't even let you get the original RE1, 2, and 3 on steam anymore. I'm okay with a remake that completely changes the game, but the original should be preserved instead of being overwritten. These games were milestones of their genre and I think it's important to be able to experience them today even if their design is dated.

[@bigfanofsb653]

Umm 6 second not 8. Oof

[@Neon_Henchman]

Okay, I'm a fan of this game, and I actually agree with you on the crashes, however that's an issue with the godawful Port to PC/etc. this game received, it even has glitched music still unfixed to this day and likely never will. The GameCube Original (well, Original Remake) is perfectly playable on Dolphin and remains the best version out there in my opinion, the few additions to the port you played are not worth it. Also, the game is much more nauseating with the "Wide" graphics setting, because they're actually zooming in on the original's screens, but they also scroll up or down, which gives it a dizzying effect, it's so much better to play on "Original" because then you get the "full pictures" at all times and it doesn't jitter as much. Still, if you're having issues with the controls, that is why it's better to play on the Original control scheme; Modern is mostly usable, but when the camera switches places, then it makes the Control Stick not become accurate anymore, and so the character just change directions as a result of it. However the Original controls (or even just using the D-Pad) doesn't have this issue, because going forward will remain the same no matter where the camera is, this is why I play with both methods, D-Pad alleviates that issue that wasn't in the Original. You may be able to see that all my problems mostly stem from this port and not the game in itself, I really didn't agreed with you for the most part, even the knife can be handy, but to be fair, the Modern Port did this game no favor either. I like how everything is like a puzzle, I might not remember how I felt back then, but replaying it makes you do much better routing, like knowing what enemies you really don't have to kill, or which ones you should burn right away. Even after you've beaten the game, pathfinding is still the puzzle in itself, especially if you want all the unlockables. Furthermore, I had done the Invisible Mode on Hard for a French Let's Play, and I loved having to create my own maps to place enemies in that I won't be able to see later on, there were no other games that made me work this hard, and it became one of my best accomplishments that my friends still bring up today. Still though, I agree there could be a compromise with the doors, maybe there could be a way in New Game+ where you could skip them, in fact there are still puzzles I do not like to replay, especially pushing boxes. So yeah, if you ever give this game another chance, the GameCube one is still the best, that or turn on all the Original Options for the port.

RE1 - knife only: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4W5kIOloq-agJI&ab_channel=Khomchik

[@platinumconquest2365]

TL;DR - To be quite honest most of your issues are pretty valid, though there are others I disagree with. I definitely think that the game is still the gold standard of survival horror and remakes in general on the whole. Easily one of, if not the best game in the series. First off, yeah, the PC port of REmake has issues. It certainly could have done with a few more patches. Barring the 2007 original port of RE4, REmake's port is probably the most troublesome port they've done. The door animations were a brilliant way of disguising loading screens on the system it was originally designed for, but I am in complete agreement that Capcom should have allowed the animations to be skipped. Something the DS port of RE1 added that they neglected to carry over into REmake's remaster for some reason. Thankfully, there is a mod for the PC version that allows you to do exactly that. I find the Doom comparison to be a bit unfair though. The difference in fidelity on older hardware means that breaking the rooms into separate zones is more understandable. I never really gave it much thought, though now that you mention it, it would be nice if the game made it clear that Chris's scenario was the harder of the two. Especially odd as he's the character the game defaults to on the selection screen. I do like the way the difficulty options were presented though. It's cute, and it doesn't take too much effort to figure out what they mean. The inventory management is something I completely disagree on. The aspect of thinking ahead and deciding what items to bring is what gives the game a lot of its strategy. I'd agree that it'd be a problem if the mansion wasn't so tightly packed. you're never too far from an item box at any given moment, it's routing around the dangers in the mansion that gives it tension. "THE door" is perhaps a bit odd, though such a small element in a game that's otherwise a master class in level design. Though I suppose that may make it stand out more given how strong the rest of the level design is. Your issues with the controls are not really a fault with the game as originally intended but is instead invented by its addition into the REmake's remaster. Stick to the classic "tank control" scheme. They may take a little bit to get used to, but once that happens they become second nature and your issues disappear. The knife is certainly useless on a casual level and is really more of a challenge-run item, which is bizarre as they stick it in your inventory at the start despite not being very useful for a first-time player. Funnily enough, this was something that was improved in the DS port of RE1 as well. Not only did the knife do more stun and damage, but also did not take up an inventory slot. An improvement I wish they carried over into REmake's remaster too. While I'm at it, I recommend switching the aspect ratio from widescreen to classic as well. Reason being is that the pre-rendered backgrounds were made with a 4:3 aspect ratio in mind, so in widescreen the image can come off as weirdly stretched and some of the background is outright cut off. I'd advise giving the game another playthrough. Especially with the control aspect, you may find the experience more enjoyable a second time 'round.

[@whitemagerivers5294]

I definitely agree this game needs another remake but for me, its entirely for story purposes. This game drives me crazy when I take the whole series into account. For a person to experience the series for the first time, you'd have to make them play the game twice to get the full story, but after, you'll have to cherry pick which events actually happen according to the following games. You can't just pretend only Chris's story happens cuz there's no Barry. Wesker gets killed by the Tyrant in Chris's story, but Rebecca doesn't activate the self destruct, Wesker does, which happens in Jill's story, and there's no Rebecca in her story either. I'd love a remake that has both stories happening together and ending appropriately with all 4 characters coming together.

Disagree the RE1 Remake from 2002 is excellent classic RE glory. But yes compared with the modern day RE games it is outdated, and I can see why modern RE fans who have only played the newer games might have a very hard time with RE1. Maybe Capcom will eventually revisit RE1 again and give it a modern day Remake it would make good business sense given the financial success of the recent Remakes.

[@charlesisbell6561]

The door do get tiresome quick but you are crazy if you think in even 2002 they could fix the door loading, we are just now at a point where games don’t need them as much legit last generation we still had them devs just learned to hide them better, small hallways doors still ever go to open a door and it takes a second cause the game isn’t loaded past that point, ether way at best they could have made sections not need to load but in 2002 tall task, also disk based gaming while a step forward in almost every way, took a step back with load times took a few years to balance out

[@albertgongora6944]

I'm just going to be brutally honest here on two things bro first of all just be honest about your opinion to do with an old game of you feel that you just don't like something about it nobody's going to get mad at you I agree there is some things in old video games that are really annoying but of you love the nostalgia of them because you grew up in the '90s or you were somebody in the early 2002 played games like resident evil in general that's the only reason you put up with them and my second opinion is I do agree with where you're coming from on this video because I will admit there's a lot of difficult things you got to do and resident evil 1 in general to even remotely get anything out of it like for instance there's the samurai edge for the game that can help you get the infinite rocket launcher and then you got to go through the 2-hour run time of getting the infinite rocket launcher or 3 hour and it's just a pain in the ass and I will let you know I've beaten normal mode under 2 hours before and I still only got the samurai edge and not the infinite rocket launcher at the same time I don't know why that happened it might have been a glitch but I understand what you're coming from man if you're having issues with the game I do agree it needs a remake because it might lead to other games like code Veronica and resident evil zero also getting remakes cuz those two games badly need them

And side A or B Leon or Clair dose not matter in the new game they fight the same bosses and nothing changes that's why the original re 2 was so replay able different story and events once you finished A scenario which re 2 remake was missing 👎 Yes I agree Capcom stoped updating the game with patches to fix the crashes, but also keep in mind if they do remake it and I don't doubt they won't cos it's cash cow to milk dry to the bone. They will most likely get rid of the old tank controls which I did not mind and liked but that's just my opinion since not they only go for first person 3rd person camera view.

Some complaints are even your own fault. The door you knew had a boss behind it was red on the map. That means locked. You should have looked and you’d have known not to bother. Why you were even using the Alternate controls they added in the remaster is anyone’s guess. Those are bad, and cause camera issues. But you said nothing about the original tank controls, which are perfect for it. Did you even try those? Do you know they exist? "Knife was a worthless piece of garbage" over footage of you slashing upward…then walking forward into the zombie. That was clearly your fault, for playing so poorly.
