Resident Evil is my favorite video game franchise of all time and I want to talk about it. Every single game. Next is an extremely important release for the series...and it wasn't even a new story or anything. It's time for the remake of Resident Evil 1. This is Part 8 of my Resident Evil retrospective. Check out parts 1-7 first in the playlist:

The HD Remaster of this game was my first RE game. That first play through was an incredible experience. My biggest regret was that I already knew Barry was supposed to be a good guy, so I knew he wasn’t the traitor. Unlike the OG RE1, this game does portray Barry as a possible suspect, like when he leaves your for dead in the caves. Oh, how I envy anyone who got to go into this game 100% blind!

[@AaronKetchum-op3nt]

Me👋. My friend had the jump before I got to play it on PSX. I went from being scared to fight zombies to knowing where all the enemies and items were. I still have the PAL version of director's cut on my PS mini classic.

[@Paraspectre]

I’m SO glad that this was my experience. It’s been so long now but I think I first played as Chris, so I didn’t really know who Barry was

[@TheRealSephiroth]

Um minor correction. Devil may cry never came out on the gamecube or the original xbox, it was a ps2 exclusive

[@Paraspectre]

Yeah I missed this in editing somehow. I knew this.

[@TheRealSephiroth]

@@Paraspectre woulda been awesome though.

[@kclink1579]

Best Resident Evil and probably best Remake ever

[@zZiL341yRj736]

It is, I find 2, 3 and 4 were just darker with half the game taken out. It's soulless.

[@user-jq4fz6co8b]

Was gonna say this. Having seen the original Director's cut of the game back in '97 (I hated the controls, so my older brother manned the game), I feel the remake is the best way to experience the game for the first time. A lot can be said for the cheesy, sparse dialogue in the original though--it added a certain level of tension and mystery I can't describe. you really didn't know what was coming.

[@Paraspectre]

It’s impressive what they pulled off that long ago too

[@SethTheXenocide]

First game I bought for the GameCube. It really set the tone for what remakes should be going forward, not just for Resident Evil but every game remake.

[@Paraspectre]

It’s hard to find much wrong with it

[@McMeatBag]

I loved the first person camera perspective of Joseph during the intro. Felt very immersive. They brought the idea back with Hunks team in 2make

[@Paraspectre]

It’s a very subtle addition but it works so well

[@radioactivechimp]

I still find it bizarre that we got so many M rated RE Capcom exclusives (or timed exclusives) on the Gamecube while the PS2 got the scraps (Outbreak, Dead Aim)

[@wutang2549]

They had a contract with nintendo. I saw it in another video

[@Gruntvc]

Nintendo tried hard with GameCube to attract the older gamers that bought PlayStation/Sega for more mature games. Besides getting RE, they also published two M rated games too, Eternal Darkness and Geist. I miss GameCube Nintendo. They actually tried to compete with the other console rivals and focused on gaming over annoying gimmicks.

[@JG004-kk1do]

@@Gruntvc​​⁠ They also published the Metal Gear Solid remake on the GameCube which was made by the same team who made Eternal Darkness.

[@Dzztzt]

​@@GruntvcNot to mention letting Killer 7 be made for the GameCube.

[@Paraspectre]

It’s why the GameCube > PS2… just not in sales…

[@Daytek90210]

16:50 I bet Wesker REALLY regrets doing that lmao

[@meziembamara4004]

No. He had instructions to test other Bioweapons like Hunters, Neptune sharks and possibly Tyrant. He was hoping that at least one of STARS would survive to test them all. Chris, Jill and *especially Rebecca* exceeded his expectations. 😂

[@KibbysGhost]

I have many fond memories of playing this game with my brother during our summer vacations

[@meziembamara4004]

28:50 😮 The fact that from sales of GameCube 20 mil and RE Remake 1 mil, means that *Every 20th GameCube owner had RE Remake* is still impressive.

[@bodkin8914]

That looks like an awesome game. Thx for another entertaining video ^^

[@Paraspectre]

Oh it’s quite good

[@meziembamara4004]

22:40 🤔 I believe the handgun in hallway was Jill's. It was dropped by her during her struggle with Wesker. Makes sense now. 😊

[@Paraspectre]

I…never even thought of this. That’s a good point. But what DID happen to his gun?

[@meziembamara4004]

@@Paraspectre Maybe he dropped it in the forest as he ran from infected dogs 🐕🌳🌳

[@samdogygaming918]

The resemblance is uncanny

[@Rschr101]

How to remake a game the right way. This is the standard bearer.

[@McGomezAddams]

Niqqa said "probably top 5" 😂

[@Paraspectre]

I said what I said 😎

[@Loozar402]

This was my first Resident Evil game and honestly the game that set my personal benchmark for what a remake should me. Never really got into survival horror games because I just couldn't get accustomed to traditional tank controls, but the Type C option in REmake was a huge game changer for me.

[@Paraspectre]

I feel like I struggled with tank controls on RE2, but didn’t seem to have a problem with this one

[@joeygarcia8619]

Thanks! Like your Pokemon TCG videos. Re video nice change up. If you ever got the patience...I tried making a pigeot deck to use move hurricane and hope they didn't have bench pokemon so I would automatically win. Idea was cool but the chances of opponent not having bench pokemon...

[@Paraspectre]

Very much appreciated, thank you! That could be a fun deck idea too. A challenge focusing on removing active and benched Pokémon

[@BouncingZeus]

I forget what music video that clip is from, but it is always hilarious she is made that her BF is not answering her excel lol

[@Paraspectre]

Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland of course 😎

[@Gruntvc]

RE4 on GameCube is probably my favorite RE to this day, but RE1 Remake 2002 is awesome too. Wish it sold better and we got actual remakes for RE2 and especially RE3 Nemesis like RE1 Remake back then. At least the GameCube ports of RE2 and RE3 Nemesis are pretty good. Shame GameCube didn't get ports for Dino Crisis 1&2.

[@Paraspectre]

I will agree with everything here, except I’ve never actually played any of the Dino Crisis games

[@NuevoExistence]

Isn't it called Arklay mansion and not Arclay, or am i tripping?😅

[@Paraspectre]

I thought the SAME thing. The C really threw me off

[@gerardoexber]

DMC1 only got released for PS2 on 2001

[@meziembamara4004]

You mean *PS2* , right? 🤔

[@gerardoexber]

@@meziembamara4004 Yes, my bad.

[@Paraspectre]

Yeah, I don’t know how I missed that in editing. I knew this.

[@johnzale7748]

2002… I remember how the Game Boy Advanced pulled out nation our of the horrors of 9/11

[@Paraspectre]

What a system

[@Bean-vu6gp180]

im glad mikami left capcom because if he didn´t left capcom re1 remake and re zero would have continue to be gc exclusives

[@gerardoexber]

Suscribed😊

[@Paraspectre]

Why thank you

[@johnzale7748]

14th comment swag

[@TheAnthonyMarlowe]

sorry im late

[@zZiL341yRj736]

The only remake that surpassed the original. RE2, 3, and 4 were all soulless turds that's just more dark minus 50% contents and fun.

[@Gruntvc]

I liked RE2 2019, but they didn't even try to replicate the zapping system and actual A/B scenarios of the original 1998 RE2. B scenarios in particular were weak. RE3 Failmake utterly fails to even try to replicate the original 1999 RE3 Nemesis. RE4 Remake is 8/10 at best, but it really didn't need to exist as the original still holds up and is widely available. RE CV, 0, Survivor, or Outbreak could actually benefit from remakes.

[@Paraspectre]

I politely disagree with this, although RE3 definitely feels too limited

[@Bean-vu6gp180]

disagree re2 remake and re3 remake is much better than re1 remake and the re1 remake can be improved when capcom remakes re1 again and it will happen the only problem with the re2 remake is that scenarios a and b are almost the same and perhaps nemesis is a flaw in the re3 remake and maybe nemesis should have killed brad just like in the og but i don´t have a problem with the game not having all the locations from the og re3 and cuting enemies since this remakes are the new canon and i don´t think removing the clock tower is a big deal

[@JG004-kk1do]

⁠ Small correction. The modern remakes aren’t the new canon, Capcom has stated they are meant to be their own thing.

[@Bean-vu6gp180]

@@JG004-kk1do the modern remakes replaces the og thats a fact i dont know what you mean by the modern remakes its his own thing if you are saying the modern remakes isn´t canon you are wrong yes they are its ridicoulous to say that capcom doesn´t consider the modern remakes to be canon but if you are saying that capcom did said that the modern remakes and the og are both canon than maybe you and others interpreted wrong what capcom said because the og and the modern remakes can´t be both canon and even if capcom really said they are both canon that doesn´t make sense they can´t be both canon and you are wrong if you think the diferences don´t matter to the story yes they do matter

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

That first resident evil is still one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen

[@Gridseeker]

The first entry is linda faithful to the game. However, from the second movie onwards, It turned into a dumpsterfire, a cheap Matrix wannabe with nothing of the franchise, except the zombies and the name.

[@Paraspectre]

Wow. I think it’s my second favorite in the series 😅

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

@@Paraspectre still one of the worst movies ever made though……

[@Paraspectre]

@@GeorgeZimmermen what are your thoughts on the Silent Hill movies?

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

@@Paraspectre never saw them. I usually hate horror movies because most of them are b movie garbage. I love when they are done right but they rarely are.
