Resident Evil 2 (1998) - Best Way To Play

[@bobdeclor528]

the N64 version is simply ingenious design. whenever a character moves the number of polygons that makes them is cut in half. you can kinda see this if you pause the video while a character is running. of course, you can't see this on a crt monitor from back in the day due to how low res they were but you can see it on a PC emulator. also the fmvs we're reduced to 15 frames per second but used frame interpolation to make it look like 30 and be somewhat smooth. other than that you just have reduced audio and graphics quality. a lot of really smart tweaks were made to the game and nobody back in the day could tell

[@jacobssiegfried]

gotta say your transition from 0:57 up till 1:15 well hecking nice. Loved the edit

[@UiHirasawa]

This video deserves to get popular. Absolute masterpiece.

[@ultracreed3080]

Thank you so much :)

[@princesmith8008]

@@ultracreed3080 One question, why exactly is the Japanese Windows XP 2006 version better than English Windows '98 version according to you??

[@onebomb8528]

I appreciate that people enjoy graphics and frame rates but I personally love playing the ps1 version just because of the nostalgic value that I remember as a teenager. It’s great to find out about the differences in other consoles though. Keep up the good work! Great video by the way.

[@mexdrago3009]

Same

[@enragedgecko]

There was also a GBA port but it was rejected by Capcom and cancelled, you can actually get the ROM but its just at the beginning of the game but very cool being a GBA game, and the skills the devs put into it as a GBA tittle

[@ironclock]

I have this as a gba cartridge :)

[@zombizzle_]

This was a tech demo, barely a port.

[@thequestion2859]

Could we ever maybe see some big community fan base try and take the game and continue it into a real full game?

[@tommarshall7749]

It was a great video. The PC/Dreamcast versions are simply stunning when viewed on a PC CRT monitor

[@NotSuspiciousNate]

I’d love to see one on these videos on Resident Evil 4!

I'd love to see a Best Way To Play of RE3. I'm gonna play the remake, but I definitely want to play the original too.

[@viraticwars]

GameCube, Dreamcast, and PS1 are all good ways. I suggest GC for smooth textures. PS3 has the PS1 version digitally and you can play it on PSP and Vita.

[@hyperboreen4854]

Same that for BH2: japanese PC SourceNext port with Classic REbirth mod.

[@whodatninja439]

Best way objectively is the easily obtained Japanese pc version with rebirth patch, HD mod and hq audio and sound

[@chadbrick67]

Texture pack for part 3 is also available looks amazing. We are also working on code veronica

[@souldino2824]

I will never forget the day i bought the Dreamcast with Code Veronica that were released when the Ps2 were even still not on the market and tbh when RE 2 got it's re-release on the Dreamcast, i did not pay much attention bcs i did played it a lot of times on PSOne not considering that may have been some improvements-changes but thanks to you i got it now. Great video,very well done, thank you.

[@daveweaver3886]

You can also enhance the the FMVs and sound in the PC version with mods. The improvement is very noticeable! Only thing I don't like about the sound mod is that it uses the GameCube voice at the title screen as I like the original better.

[@GangstaMartinez]

Great job on the comparison! An obvious candidate for the next video would be Resident Evil 3 😁

[@ShredderN64Alt]

Very informative and objective; thank you!

[@devonwilliams5738]

I totally thought the Gamecube version of RE2 would be better. What a surprise.

[@holygrail8524]

Cool vid, would love to see more.

[@ultracreed3080]

Thanks!

[@lonely_adolescent2715]

Great vid dude, really helped a confused soul such as myself lol. I did want to ask though: does the PC version mod also give the option to play with alternate/first person controls, rather than tank controls?

[@uziikari5308]

You keep making vids of games I'm playing 😳

[@ultracreed3080]

I promise I am not your stalker!

[@daveweaver3886]

I agree, the PC version is by far the best. It'll be even better when the Seamless HD project is done for this version. Now if only they can make cutscenes skippable like the GameCube version, it'll be THE definitive way to play OG RE2!

[@ultracreed3080]

Cant wait for that! And the REbirth allows for easier modding, meaning someone could make a skipping cutscenes mod for sure :)

[@daveweaver3886]

@@ultracreed3080 I actually asked Gemini (the creator of REbirth) and he said "no idea tbh, implementing cutscene skipping is a mess". Doesn't sound too promising ATM but hopefully it'll get figured out someday.

[@WinspearUltima]

It’s been 2 years since this video came out and thanks to the guys at GOG they’ve made a new PC port that preserves all of the features to the other versions. I believe it’s the definitive version of RE2. And I’ll be picking it up.

[@bobmanperson599]

Will you be covering the differences between the re release and the original(s)?

[@Spitfire77077]

I would suggest sourcenext version, because you can play the original game how it was and also all the different mods. I don't know if sourcenext is mandatory for the mods, but I was under that impression 3 years ago when I got into it.

[@kyo2975]

This was the absolute best version of this game to play on consoles back in the day. It got rid of that weird texture warping that you got with the PlayStation. GameCube screwed it up but Dreamcast got it right.

[@greilthelegendaryhero252]

This would be an insane project for you. Best way to play Resident evil 4. GameCube Wii Switch Ps2-4 Xbox 360 Xbox 1 Steam VR Android lol Way too many playthroughs. I wouldn't expect you to do this. If you did, the ps5 release will be out :)

[@ultracreed3080]

What do you think of the REHDSHOP version of RE2 1998 PC?

[@ultracreed3080]

On the REHDSP site, it says that in the future it would come to the pc, but that its not done yet. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I missed this mod for the pc and it looks great :)

[@SUPERFunStick]

Honestly, wherever and whenever any game allows me to use a D pad over a thumb stick, I'll always go with the d pad. Button presses are much faster and more responsive than moving a stick in a direction and the time it takes for the stick to move from center to a direction is actually much slower than a button press and can actually matter quite a lot in a fast paced game

[@ultracreed3080]

I totally agree!

[@WinspearUltima]

This is interesting as re2 is one of my favourites in the series I’ve got a question is there going to be a video on what’s the best version of the original final fantasy VII

[@tuli0hwut78]

The N64 could have been a great port if they included stock footage from the cutscenes instead of FMV sequences. That way, the game could've had Extreme Battle as an unlockable game mode.

Just for the difficulties, I'd love to play on Dreamcast because I'm a bit tired to make challenges to make the game harder. In the other consoles versions, too easy!!

[@ultracreed3080]

If you're a huge fan and find it too easy, then you will love the Expert and Nightmare modes! These will offer even the most elite resident evil players a real challenge. Hope you will get the chance to play the Dreamcast version :)

Yes, it's the Sourcenext version. You should still install the REbirth mod, because it adds enough extra's and you have an option to keep the game in japanese. I am not allowed to link it to you as that would be illegal, but you should be able to find it by using google or another search engine :)
