Chris was too stupid to equate 1 + 2, so he decided to get buff and punch boulders. Makes sense to me. Chris is Knuckles.

Fun Fact: The composer of that godawful Dualshock Ver. Soundtrack was at one point very acclaimed and pretended to be a blind 'savant' for over a decade, using a ghostwriter for the majority of his work. He finally come out about his lie a few years back and it was a minor controversy in Japan.

[@OneTrueNobody]

To be complete in your assessment, though, Jill also has significantly less health than Chris does, which means that during the latter half when the game starts throwing Hunters at you, you can suffer some unexpectedly fast deaths; I've even been one-swipe-decapitated at one point (no joke, the head on Jill's model was just swatted off) by a Hunter that jumped at me from off-camera. Jill's campaign is easier to manage since she has a lot more flexibility where options come up and she also has Barry looking out for her. The actual process of circumventing enemies can be trickier for new players as Jill though, since she has less margin for error. More interesting to me, though, is that Jill's campaign also has a higher number of cutscenes that results in a somewhat more fleshed-out narrative adventure. I'm curious as to whether that design decision was deliberate, given female players had a tendency to favor the old point-and-clicks even back then, a genre that survival horror owes a great deal to when it comes to structure and mechanics (there are even some adventure games that feel vaguely like horror games without horror, if that makes any sense). The other point to mention about Jill being easier, bearing in mind the much lower female gamer percentage at the time, is that her campaign being easier provides amateurish players a chance to play through the game and familiarize themselves with the mechanics and mansion layout before tackling Chris Redfield's more restrictive campaign. Resi 2 brought this idea of first campaign: easy, second campaign: hard back in a more interesting fashion with its Scenario A/B structure, although Leon and Claire still have the same balance design that Chris and Jill did... male character tougher, but has smaller inventory; or, if you prefer pessimism, female character blown over by stiff breeze, but brought a purse along. Which is, of course, why Resi 4's Leon is unquestionably the superior alpha male, him both being tougher and bringing a purse along.

[@Wintd1]

Don't Leon and Claire both start out with 8 inventory slots in RE2 though? I also remember there being less ammo and more enemies in Claire's A scenario than there was in Leon's A scenario.

[@OneTrueNobody]

Actually, you might be right, and I might be misremembering. I'll have to double-check when I'm more awake.

[@Xiammes]

I think something to keep in mind about Jills campaign is that while she gets more powerful gear, she has a much harder time managing them. She gets 2 new inventory slots but 3 new types of ammo can show up, since you can't really drop anything, picking up grenade launcher ammo may end up costing you more inventory space and you need to take a trip back to safe more often. In Chris campaign you will get to a point you can ditch the handgun and just use the shotgun, giving you about 4 inventory slots for health and key items consistently, less inventory management. Jill can't really ever really just roll with the shotgun, as she gets less ammo for it due to the ammo being turned into grenade launcher ammo. Meaning you have to roll with at least 2 guns and 2 types of ammo, giving you about 4 slots for health and items. Even if you only decide to run with one gun, you may end up picking up ammo anyways that hogs inventory space. Jills is without a doubt the easier of the two, the grenade launcher is so powerful, Jill and Barry are also way more capable then Chris and Rebecca. Its still a interesting type of balance between the two.

[@Xiammes]

Leon gets upgradable weapons, he can upgrade his shotgun, handgun and magnum to make them way more powerful, but he still has to manage the small keys. Claire gets the cross bow, grenade launcher, and zapgun. Grenade launcher is pretty good, but I think the upgraded shotgun is better and the upgraded magnum is way above any of claire's weapons.

[@Xiammes]

You get the upgraded shotgun parts in leons campaign at the same place you get the zap gun for Claire, its not route specific. I believe the only route specific weapons are the Rocket Launcher and the second submachine gun.

[@Inezh358]

Anyone else think REMAKE is a masterpiece?

[@mikegreiling]

I'm really hoping the remake in development for RE2 is as good as RE-MAKE was

[@SaberRexZealot]

Dom It's one of the best games ever made.

[@ffnovice7]

REmake is easily the perfect example of a remake done right.

[@CynicalZielony]

I have to replay that. I beat it a few weeks ago as Chris and I didn't realize until the end that I selected easy mode at the beginning when the game asked you how you liked exercising or whatever.Great game, made me wish that I didn't miss out on the series. Playing through Zero now, I'll have to play 2 and 3 eventually.

[@PsypherWolf]

Yes, I love it. I never could get into the original RE, it felt too unpolished for my liking but the REmake makes up for it and then some. I one hundred percented it recently.

[@1SWINZ1]

Man, the mansion is one of the best video game "World's" ever created. For me, in part because of the REmake, RE1's world wasn't surpassed until 2015, when Bloodborne released and graced us with Yharnam. This is one of the main things that I love about games. The two most important things are that I'm challenged, and, pertaining to my main point, really strong worlds. And the best worlds in video games IMO are always the atmospheric "continuous space" ones with environmental storytelling, and it's not necessarily open world in the GTA sense, but is one place that you learn your way around and become attached to. I really hope for more strong video game worlds in the future but, ATM it is an incredibly rare trait outside of the Souls games and Arkane's games, IMO. I think there is so much untapped potential here. The way I see it, I look at movie games like Uncharted and it makes me think ''Why would you make a movie when you can make a world?''. Movies will always be better than these movie-games, but games, they can be something more than a movie; they can be a world, right? Video games have the potential to dominate all media when it comes to worlds because they're interactive and I don't feel like this aspect is being developed as much as it should be, outside of the examples I gave. But do keep in mind that I'm not claiming to have played everything!

[@Walamonga1313]

Dude you absolutely nailed it

[@JuliusCaesar103]

Great comment

[@Zeithri]

Resident Evil 1 is my favorite in the series, specifically the Director's Cut version. The tension in RE1 is so much stiffer than RE2. As for the Tank controls, they're piece of cake.

[@White927]

Director's cut doesn't do anything other than recurring Forest Spreyer from death and new costumes and added a broken joystick controls DualShock, so nothing new.

[@White927]

RE 1 PSX is the best, Sega Saturn Battle mode is not that bad.

[@RandomCryptid412]

As a semi-long time fan, I have to say this is your best series yet. Great title, interesting approach, and a very inclusive objective stance makes it a great watch on any day of the week. Also, what a classic, 22 years old and still a joy to play after all this time.

@16:47 As long as you don't trigger either the Barry on the balcony cutscene or the hallway - "I Have THIS" cut scene first. If you do, Barry will not show up to save you from the ceiling trap and you'll have to use the broken shotgun like Chris does

[@vileindividual]

Man it's nice to see a series that actually treats RE1 with the respect it deserves. It's hard to watch stuff involving RE because most take any chance they can to shit on the titles before 4. Looking forward to the next ones (hope you cover Survivor also, I know it's not a numbered title but I feel it was a significant entry considering what became of 7)

[@RadioactivePuppy01]

Fantastic video. The inspiration is clear, but this step-by-step, analytical process approaching level design is really some of the most worthwhile type of critique about gaming that "serious gamers" can get our hands on. You definitely did a great job highlighting the game mechanics that help elevate RE1's level design to even higher levels, as well! I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series, and now I've got to take a look at some other beloved franchise's level design for my own series. :D

[@itcxplane]

Love this series. You should do a class on how to correctly make a KZbin video. No fluff, quick, entertaining, well-written, straight to the point.

[@SavageMontreal]

Resident Evil is probably my favourite game of all time and I believe one of the best examples of game and level design ever. This is a great analysis and sums up a lot of what is great about the game. I just subscribed and am off to watch number 2.

[@clouds5]

Resident Evil is one of those "almost perfect" games. The first playthrough is thrilling, it has very good pacing and the atmosphere is amazing. The safe room sound is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard... And then when you figure things out it becomes something else, you rush through it, try challenge runs etc. If you think about it, it has many parallels to Dark Souls.

[@KayX291]

Another thing worth to mention about the celling trap in Jill's campaign. If you get the Acid Round from Barry before that, he will not come to save you from it so you are required to get the Broken Shotgun to bypass it.

[@Natedawg38]

I think it's safe to say resident evil 1 will live on in infamy. Its a rudely well thought out game and still stands on its own feet after all these years. 2 was my first crush and 3 is my favourite game ever. But there's something about 1...that keeps you coming back.

[@NeedsMoDakka]

Finally! Someone goes over the level design in the resident evil games! I love analysis vids like this!

[@AllisonByProxy]

Do you still plan on continuing this series? I've been looking forward to the next episode!

[@tekknking]

this is one of the most in depth video game videos ive ever seen lmao i love it bro ! can you please mention in your RE 3 video that RE 3 wasnt actually meant to be the 3rd numbered game in the series rather RE:code veronica was actually meant to be the third game but was changed due to licensing issues or something like that , RE 3 nemesis was just basically a huge DLC to RE 2 , which is why alot of the same areas were used. jus a pet peeve lol

[@AMTaylor13]

Amazing analysis video dude, you've covered pretty much everything. Can't wait to see the next episode! One thing I always remember as being a clever mechanism in this game (and for some of the sequels) is the introduction of a seemingly pointless item for the purpose of ensuring you have an available inventory slot. For instance, the only reason why you find a random battery to power the heliport elevator in the lab is to ensure you have a free slot for the Flare to signal Brad (lest you get stuck on the heliport with no way to acquire it), and then ultimately you have a free slot to acquire the Rocket Launcher in order to defeat Tyrant. Same goes for RE2, when you acquire the Joint S and Joint N plugs (very random items) for the sole purpose of ensuring you again have the necessary inventory space to pick up the 2-slot Rocket Launcher.

[@Snotnarok]

Comically, the US versions of RE1 and 2 were made harder with no lock-on aim. Capcom wanted to go further and not have the item boxes linked.....Seriously. That's what they reference in the remake with true survival mode. They did this because, it was tradition to make the western versions harder since we had a thriving rental market and Nintendo got that all but killed in japan. So games like Contra Hard Corps, Streets of Rage 3, Battle Toads, all harder in the west. Weee!

[@Airjet2582]

To be fair there were some vice versa. "Final Fantasy 7" the (Snow) mountain climbing section was made easier for the North American release and "Metal Gear Solid" had four difficulty selections where as the Japanese version "Normal" is the only difficulty setting.

[@yittmashups]

Resident Evil 2 definitely had an auto aim in the U.S. It was control option C, I believe.

[@SteveRudzinski]

If you're doing the "core RE" games I super hope you include Code Veronica. A lot of folks forget that it was the true RE3 and Nemesis was just called 3 because of a contract with Sony Capcom didn't really think about. Not to mention I feel Code Veronica is possibly the best all around "classic" RE game with a lot of the stuff from all of the previous games but very refined so I would love an episode dedicated to it.

[@bioforest6602]

Steve Rudzinski I too love CV and I also hope for him to cover it.

[@northwindkey]

Late, but the non-tank scheme in REmake HD is also just objectively not good. They're DMC1 controls. Resident Evil is not DMC. The weightless controls don't make sense with RE. Silent Hill's non-tank scheme was much better.

Nice analysis! One detail I thought was worth commenting on - the part where Jill is saved from the Shotgun room trap by Barry is something that'll happen to most people that wander in there since they probably will on their first run. That being said, from what I remember once you see Barry anywhere else in the mansion, he'll no longer arrive to save you and you'll need to get the fake Shotgun.

[@co81385]

Excellent video! I do agree with you that the overall structure of the original Resident Evil does still hold up very, very well! Watching your video made me realize just how wide-open the first trip to the mansion is compared to the rest of the game. I don't think anything will ever match the feeling that I got when I first played the game, and was experiencing how wide open of an area the mansion is, and how cryptic so many of its areas and secrets are.

[@DrearierSpider1]

I miss the days where survival horror meant disempowering players, resource scarcity and letting players get lost. Compare it to the "gameplay" loop of modern dogshit like Outlast and it's just depressing where the genre's gone.

[@Wintd1]

At least RE7 mostly returned to that formula, even though it still felt like they had to make some compromises in a few areas.

[@matman000000]

People say taking away all weapons makes the games scarier, but I think that's bullshit. It simplifies the gameplay situations to 2 possibilities: run or hide. The only thing you ever need to think about is whether to stay still to get out, which makes the gameplay repetitive and predictable. Horror games with combat, on the other hand, put you under constant stress by giving you important decisions every minute. Do I kill this monster, or save ammo for later? Is a grenade more valuable than a medkit? Should I return to a safe room, or push forward hoping to find a new one soon? Do I risk running through a group of enemies that might easily overwhelm me? Do I pick up a stronger weapon with less ammo? Each of those dozens and hundreds of decisions can be lethal, which keeps you on your toes and helps the immersion. You can actually ask yourself "what would I do?", unlike in modern horror games where protagonists can't even pick up a stick to swing around. When you see an imposing enemy, you know you can kill or at least affect him, and the possibility of success makes the failure all the more terrifying, because you know that it's gonna be your fault, not an unavoidable scripted moment.

[@MariusBolldude]

Mattchester 100% agree ! I was never interested in those run and hide horrorgames because of what you said...a fight and the choice if you should fight is much more stressfull than just turn around anf run and a jumpscare here and there plus ive seen some games, i think outlast was one of them, where a jumpscare appears...but you couldnt play actively, it was just a passive sequence ! Ok you are maybe frightend for a shorttime but you quickly realize that your action isnt required and you can lean back and rest for a while instead of fighting and have to struggle :/

It just really makes you feel like you've truly overcome and mastered the game while rewarding you for doing so in a way I've yet to see replicated.

Just recently completed RE5, which definitely felt like a let down compared to the previous games, and now I've started with Revelations.

The Jill Sandwich method for getting the shotgun is conditional. Depending on the initial route you take and which cutscene you trigger first you may have to end up getting the broken shotgun after all.

... on the subject of RE... have we heard ANYTHING about the RE 2 remake dood?

[@tonyinfinite5174]

hopefully Capcom will unveil it at E3

Don't worry, it's confirmed that the real ending is going to be DLC. Claire will be DLC as well, and so will her Grenade Launcher
