Resident Evil 2 & 3 (Dreamcast) Review - An Iconic Duo

[@Natedawg38]

Dude. This is great. Thank you. I will never ever get tired of fresh perspectives of resident evil 3 nemesis. It is my favourite game. What is shocking me is the dreamcast version looks really slick! The backgrounds are much sharper. Amazingly, in the brain sucker T-junction, there is a dead body there that is not in any other version. As a purist now of course i have to buy this. I would recommend jumping off the bridge so you can blow up Nicholai sky high in his chopper at the end with the RL.

@@Natedawg38 Cheers! Yeah these versions look fantastic, and could have looked even nicer if certain things weren't hard wired into the game.. haha If you can get a reasonable price on a copy (just not the damn German version!) I'd definitely recommend it. The Dreamcast version can be pretty pricey, and the Gamecube port is very much the same!

[@visionop8]

Man do I ever miss reviews like this

[@THHDReviews]

@@visionop8 thanks a lot! They're fun to make.. and partly justify all the money I spend on these games.. haha

[@wrathchildrocks]

Thanks for making me nearly choke to death while eating my dinner with that random 'frank walker from national tiles' gag hahaha 10/10

[@THHDReviews]

@@wrathchildrocks you're welcome.. haha That man has been haunting my dreams for 20 years!

The original has more contents, fun and variety compared to the soulless ass Remakes.

[@THHDReviews]

@@zZiL341yRj736 as much as I really loved the 2 Remake (and enjoyed 3), there's definitely still a lot to bring you back with these original games. It's just a shame games want to sell you so many extras these days, when these games you had to unlock it all!

[@gianleon982]

the way RE3 REmake turned out it should just been dlc for RE2

[@THHDReviews]

@@gianleon982 it certainly felt that way a bit! Haha

[@nickharper3137]

Wish re 3 remake have the same exploration as in the original game 😢

[@THHDReviews]

@@nickharper3137 yeah, that's one of the big things that game is missing!

[@lonewolfstrife3637]

Yeah man i agree, re3 was my favorite. The remake sucked , they should have had the same team who made 2, make 3.

[@THHDReviews]

@@lonewolfstrife3637 I think all the resources were pulled away for the other games, so it felt like a chunk of the game was missing. Hopefully a CV remake gets good treatment, that game was awesome, and pretty big in scope!

[@lonewolfstrife3637]

@@THHDReviews 100%

[@luckyrockmore2796]

Why did they feel the need to include that multiplayer game with it? I felt those resources would have been better off serving the main game.

[@THHDReviews]

@@luckyrockmore2796 yeah, that was a bizarre choice! Really, they should just make another Outbreak title..

[@RetroGamerBB]

I kind of wish the remakes for 2 &3 would have been like the remake for RE1 on GameCube

[@THHDReviews]

@@RetroGamerBB the Gamecube remake is a 10/10!

[@Gruntvc]

Resident Evil 3 Nemesis is my favorite of the classic RE PS1 trilogy. The Dreamcast port is fine, but I think the GameCube port is better. Hoping one day the classic RE Trilogy get remastered for both current consoles and pc like Tomb Raider Trilogy got. And RE3 2020 is the worse one of the recent RE remakes. RE3 Nemesis deserves better. Gonna review the Dreamcast port for Dino Crisis 1? Now that's a series I wanna see return. Don't know why they didn't port Dino Crisis 2 to Dreamcast.

[@THHDReviews]

@@Gruntvc Yeah, the Remake for 3 definitely was the weakest. I found it to be good for the most part, it just needed more to it! As far as ports go, I thought Dreamcast and Gamecube were overall similar, and they're both pretty expensive! Either are worth it if you can get a good deal.. Dino Crisis will certainly be on the list, I've never played the sequels, but the original is great! I have to trick my console to get it running with the VGA signal, but it won't play the CGI cutscenes.. haha

[@assasin32]

Not a remaster but GoG just recently released RE1/2/3 there, the original ones. The first is complete, the next two are expected 2024. So we can easily play the old school ones on PC.

[@mantrahus]

The german Version for dreamcast is Cut, Green blood, disappearing dead enemys. The mercenary Mode is unbeatable, because no reward for killing zombies. The uk and US Versions are very good, The progress in mercenary Mode (money) is Not saved, so I had to play mercenary Mode again and again until I could buy The machine gun with unlimited ammo, Start a New game and save to play with this weapon. Savegame for mercenary money is fixed in the gamecube Version.

[@THHDReviews]

@@mantrahus how frustrating! I didn't realise they'd be THIS bad with censorship, I thought it was just Wolfenstein they got pissy about.. haha, and that's coming from good old conservative Australia that was going to ban Left 4 Dead 2, but let AVP get released! Haha

[@edward18517]

Well for 3 i don't know if I'd call it an add-on, but it was a side game (1.9) about the mercenaries that then had Jill added into it and had the number 3 slapped onto it (and with that had more stuff crammed into it in the final few months) when what was going to be 3 got moved to next gen consoles and was relabeled as 4. Also that bit about the T-103 Tyrant being made from the G-Virus that Brian Irons says is a translation error. In the Japanese version he talks about how G is for evolution.

[@THHDReviews]

@@edward18517 I think the game does enough to become its own thing, but really it could have kept the 'Last Escape' title. CV does more to earn its place, so hopefully that gets a solid remake treatment to bring newer fans to that part of the story! Oh, and don't you just love translation errors! Haha, fans would be furious about that shit these days..

[@Django286]

I love the Resident Evil series, part 2 is from the original trilogy but part 3 has its own charm. Unfortunately the remake of part 3 was a disappointment and I don't even want to start talking about the censorship of the German version. There were reasons why I bought the UK version back then.

[@THHDReviews]

@@Django286 I found it to be pretty bizarre with the censorship. Being Aus we would just get UK versions, but I randomly ended up with this version! Haha The Remake had so much potential, but we're left with so much missing!

[@The_BEST_Rookie_Cop]

Did you seriously skip Leon's B scenario...?

[@THHDReviews]

@@The_BEST_Rookie_Cop forgive me! Haha, I didn't want to blow the video out more than I already had..

[@The_BEST_Rookie_Cop]

​@@THHDReviews Well alright, it's just that I've never seen any review only talk about one scenario of RE2, it's either one of the scenario pairings (mainly Claire A, Leon B, as it's the canon one), or both scenario pairings to explain their differences and such. So it just feels kinda incomplete to me is all. If this was say a two part video of just RE2, and you had one video for Claire A, and another for Leon B, then I could get behind that.

[@THHDReviews]

@@The_BEST_Rookie_Cop yeah, I do briefly touch on it, but wanted to keep things moving. This more ties into its direct sequel too which I'll be covering at some stage! (I'd been planning on doing 1, 2, 3, CV)

[@ryanmagee2623]

Slow down bud why are you racing through a script? So many keep doing this

[@THHDReviews]

I try to keep it at a pretty brisk pace for story sections so I don't drag it out, and mellow it out a bit for the other bits, but I'll keep it in mind! I hadn't done any videos this long before, so I wanted to keep it tight! haha
