Resident Evil is my favorite video game franchise of all time and I want to talk about it. Every single game. It's time to complete the original classic trilogy, which is also completing the 90s decade. This is Part 3 of my Resident Evil retrospective.
Resident Evil: • Resident Evil (1996): ...
Resident Evil 2: • Resident Evil 2 (1998)...

[@Nathan-Croft]

Seeing how many people think highly of this game (my favourite of the franchise), it's unacceptable what they did to its remake

[@zZiL341yRj736]

Capcom releasing that piece of shit remake for $60 is the biggest crime against gamers everywhere.

[@spooky9030]

Frr i had bought re 3 remake for 29.99 and the OG re 3 for 39.99 at a DiscReplay..

[@lentos8912]

the remake is better, the original 3 added nothing new to the playstation trilogy, same cant be the same for the remake trilogy

[@Nathan-Croft]

​@@lentos8912 Except Ammo mixing Quick turn Live selection mechanic Enhanced AI for the Tyrant Dodging Weapon drops Mercenaries Other than all that, the original RE3 didn't add anything.

[@lentos8912]

@@Nathan-Croft ammo mixing was for code veronica first, so was quick turn. Ai for tyrant was NOT enhanced please show evidence lol. dodging was disliked st the time, weapon drops made it feel less like resident evil, mercenaries was for code veronica... yup still nothing

[@Nathan-Croft]

​@lentos8912 Code Veronica came out in 2000, while Resi 3 came out in 1999 and Ammo crafting wasn't even included in CV 😂. You couldn't even freely run up the stairs in that game, while in the og Resi 3 it was possible. Maybe you should fact check what you are saying before spamming nonsense.

[@regorllerref]

RE3 was by far my favorite RE game, I remember my cousin giving me some old ps1 games, and RE3 was one of them, that intro gave me nightmares for weeks.

[@Paraspectre]

It sure doesn’t waste any time getting right to it.

[@namelesstemple]

Bro I STILL have Nemesis nightmares and I'm 36 years old. No monster has ever scared me so much. The remake was no good though. They failed to understand why Nemesis was so scary

[@souseiseki90]

Boy I remember I got a nightmare get chased by nemesis in Spenser Mansion/

[@kclink1579]

Three is my favourite from the original 3.

[@jonjon7330]

Mine too! It was fascinating and tragic trying to escape Raccoon City. And Nemesis always scared tf out of me

[@horokai]

Mine too, what a great game.

[@TheHalloweenSpirit]

Same! ❤

[@Gruntvc]

Same for me. Nemesis alone is the best BOW monster of the franchise. Nothing since has topped him. Not even the lame trash bag one from RE3 Failmake.

[@Paraspectre]

It’s really so close to 2 for me. I can’t argue against that haha

[@McMeatBag]

Definitely my favorite of the original trilogy. It was the peak of the setting, the story, and Jill really came into her own as a character in this game. And then there's Nemesis, an antagonist that's never been matched since.

[@jordanferguson1859]

I get the love for 2 but this is my favorite ps1 game played it for hours with my grandpa

[@Paraspectre]

I can absolutely understand that. I didn’t play this until the GameCube version so I missed the boat on it being an exciting new release

[@Bat-Twenty-Two]

RE, RE2, and RE3 make a superb trilogy, one of gaming's very best.

[@Demigod_3scrub]

RE 3 is my personal favorite.. It's the only RE to this day that made me panic and just turn the console off.. Nemesis wouldn't stop chasing me.. So re3 hits different for me on a personal level.

[@lentos8912]

did you skip 2 or something? 2 had Mr X chasing you the entire time and its the reason original 3's sales BOMBED and code veronica out sold it

[@keeeir]

I'd say the first Terminator was more like Nemesis than Judgement Day.

[@Paraspectre]

I would actually agree. I just copied down what I read from interviews though. Maybe Mikami never saw the first one 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ehhhhhhh6141]

I’d argue Resident evil 2 Leon B storyline was more like Terminator. Claire Storyline was like Aliens.

[@keeeir]

@@ehhhhhhh6141 yeah Sherry is just Newt. The whole an evil corporation trying to use monsters as bioweapons is also a bit like Aliens

[@iquemedia]

this is my new favorite series thanks homie, we eatin good

[@Paraspectre]

Wow! Thank you. There’s a ton more content to go.

[@ggrarl]

STARS!

[@Paraspectre]

🌟

[@jonjon7330]

Somehow…I’m still alive…

[@Paraspectre]

This line comes to my head every once in a while. My coworkers probably question me.

[@Gruntvc]

Used to think RE2 was my favorite of the franchise, but then I did a complete playthrough of RE3 Nemesis after being disappointed by RE3 2020. And, RE3 Nemesis became my favorite PS1 RE. Some may not like that you only play as Jill, but I think the devs made up for the lack of a 2nd playable character with the live selection aspect and adding some randomization to each playthrough. Plus RE3 Nemesis has the best controls of the PS1 games, even letting you go up and down stairs in actual gameplay. Even RE Code Veronica didn't do this on Dreamcast. I recommend checking out the book, Itchy Tasty An Unofficial History of RE. Apparently, even some Nemesis encounters are randomized. It's impressive what these devs were able to achieve on the PS1. Still, wish we did get that Hunk game. Poor guy has been robbed of his own game several times now. Umbrella Corp doesn't count, blah.

[@Paraspectre]

I can for sure see why people would prefer 3 to 2. I personally have more nostalgia for 2, since it was my introduction. But yeah, I can see aspects of 3 being better.

[@Natedawg38]

What can you say about 3? Its just perfect. Ill never get tired of strolling through the trashed streets of raccoon city and those gorgeous backgrounds. Also shout out to catherine disher - THE jill valentine who continues to inspire me every day.

[@noahbarnes5761]

Im not even an RE fan but these videos are really well done and make me want to play them!

[@Paraspectre]

Wow! If that’s the case, then I feel like I succeeded in what I want out of this ☺️

[@WTH1music]

Loving this series. We truly are eatin good. Please play and review dino crisis 1 and 2

[@WTH1music]

Really liked the outro with the voice lines. With games this old I really dont think you need to worry about story spoilers. I understand hiding the jumpscares, but I wouldnt sweat the story stuff

[@Paraspectre]

I feel like they are must owns for me

[@Punisher6791]

Jill was 23 in 1998 making her about 49 in the present day timeline.

[@tykohondo]

Loved RE3 more than RE2 and code Veronica mainly cause of the city setting

[@IzraelGraves]

Jill didn't go with STARS to Europe because she stayed behind to try to expose Umbrella for what they did in the mansion. It only talks about the first game in the manual and sets this up as a sequel because... It is. It takes place at the same time as Resident Evil 2. As far as her outfit, she was a badass from the 90s. She can dress both sensibly, like RE1, and (when sitting at her own home) casually in an outfit that was very much prominent in the 90s. Her outfit wasn't a sexy dev creation, but a sexy outfit that was worn by real people lol

[@mikkemiksu]

For a late September nighttime outfit it still felt a little.. out of place

[@IzraelGraves]

@@mikkemiksu Late September is right at the end of summer. It would absolutely make sense mid-city. I wonder if it would have even been cold...

[@IzraelGraves]

@@mikkemiksu Chicago (which Racoon city is based on) got up to 70 degrees on September 28th, 1998.

[@ranzudezuLRTC]

You my dude is such an underrated content creator and I just love these vids! I really really wish I grew up with the early days of RE...I am so glad I was able to play the og trilogy 2 years ago and I am still hoping on that trilogy REmaster for the 30th anniversary of RE 🤞🏻 Keep up the awesome works and I hope your channel grows even further 👊🏻🙏🏻

[@Starfish_RPD]

Love your retrospectives so much1 Your voice is so chill!

[@burge117]

This was pretty cool man. Good job 😊

[@HighHeelKnight]

I love this game much, much more than the remake. 🥳

[@lentos8912]

bad opinion... they both added nothing new to their respective trilogy and both were a downgrade from the game before

[@andrewcalean7992]

STARSSSSS!!!!!!!!

[@woganwisentainer557]

I'm so happy you got the development of the game right! Most people completely ignore that there was a game called 3 in development and instead think that Code Veronica was going to be 3.

[@AllThingsWrestling]

great video mate. keep it up :)

[@Paraspectre]

Hey, thank you! 😊

[@GuyDude-hk8uy]

Wooo! Would love to see you do a dedicated video on titles like "1.5" (I know you touched on it in your retrospective on 2) and the unreleased GBC demake at some point down the road. Enjoying you branching out into non-Pokemon stuff and not feeling tied to any one particular thing to satisfy the algorithm :) Also <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="214">3:34</a> I don't know what adjective I want to use to describe this image, but I love it. Also also <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1065">17:45</a> "Turn to page 256 to punch the boulder" ;) Also also also <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1421">23:41</a> the "Irony" being that - at least in my opinion - the bottom of the well (and to a somewhat lesser extent the forest temple) are genuinely as unsettling as anything in the RE games - perhaps even veering into Silent-Hill levels of atmosphere with the sound and monster design.

[@Paraspectre]

I might do a side thing at the very end for all of the “other” games. And YES, about the Ocarina of Time thing. There are genuine unnerving parts to that game.

[@warrenaray]

The best Resident Evil game!!!

[@phatash187]

I appreciate you making these typa videos for the Resi series. With all this reaction content bullshit, seeing small channels like yours make actually good and effort-taking videos like this is a godsent.

[@johnzale7748]

Resident Evil 2 really is the Doom 2 of Resident Evil games

[@Paraspectre]

I’ve been saying this for years

[@user-ng9gd4vl9s]

I would say it is the perfect trilogy

[@HypoRex]

You forgot that re3 came with a demo disc for dino crisis, but awesome video regardless 😁

[@johnacker4959]

If anyone is enjoying this series, i recommend noah caldwells 7 hr complete resident evil retrospective.

[@bodkin8914]

Enjoying the series so far. Are you planing on covering all of the RE games or just the "main" ones. Curious what your plan is. I only played RE 2 so I am open for everything. As always thanks for the video

[@Paraspectre]

I plan on covering every single game

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Can't wait for the RE Gaiden video!

[@SurpriseNerf]

I just did a review of this too. I like your take. Good stuff

[@StevenDavies-rf2wi]

Definitely the original 3 over the remake, I know the remake Is now canon but in my mind the original is still cannon haha

[@DBTGAMER]

I love the original game. The remake pales in comparison to the original. I haven't played it but I have a few Playthroughs. Play chopped out at least half the game. WTF were they thinking.🤔 Great video.

[@castertroy234]

Jill is 24 and trained with Delta? hahaha that's far fetched.

[@Junior22G]

My heart still skips a beat when nemesis chases jill in re3 original even when i play it today..

[@reggieh6038]

only if they remade this game and did it justices. racoon city in this name looked so good.

[@necrosadotor]

i never figured out that water stuff puzzle lol. great game

[@Miki-hk6vy]

there's a video on youtube explaining it lol, but it's just mental Tetris, you have to match the finished look by adjusting the 3 rows and think about them like stacking tetris blocks, so a horizontal and vertical will make an L shape(basically just matching) but yeah there's 4 variations so it might take some time to get it correct

[@necrosadotor]

@@Miki-hk6vy yes i know, because i had to look it up to finish the game

[@Paraspectre]

For some reason, that’s one I never really struggled with. And I don’t think I’m great with puzzles, so I don’t know haha

[@necrosadotor]

@@Paraspectre many say it's easy & many say it's super hard, quite interesting actually

[@myanimeroom9350]

Ohhh... scary!

[@Paraspectre]

☠️

[@carloRX78K2]

Would be nicer if you used the classic rebirth ones for the trilogy but i love your vid! And yes its obvious RE3 nemesis is my top 2 favorite RE game just next of RE 4 og.

[@meziembamara4004]

My first RE experience. A BIG upgrade from Sega Megadrive of the day

[@Paraspectre]

What a way to begin the series ☺️

[@pppupu936]

RE2 by design is the bump from RE1 and can be seen as near perfect. But it does not match the replay value RE3 has. And RE3 is 1/3 of the size. The OST of RE3 is phenomenal. Nemesis was the notch needed for Mr.X. Mercenaries is so fun. It’s just well rounded for a short game. We all wish the remake was a true refresh. But oh well. Sticking to the classics.

[@iquemedia]

are you gonna cover the outbreak files?

[@Paraspectre]

Absolutely!

[@iquemedia]

@@Paraspectre based, can't wait

[@NeroVingian40]

Whoa, now we’re on RE3! Are you going to cover all the RE games? If so, what’s next after this one?

[@Paraspectre]

I absolutely plan on covering every single one. I do say at the end of the video what the next one will be, so Survivor will be next 😊

[@NeroVingian40]

@@Paraspectre lmao, yeah, I haven’t watched the video till the end yet, I’m too damn busy these days 😭 I’ll get to it slowly.

[@anjetto1]

I love the Jill starts complaining about how someone needs to do something about this, like she's not a special forces cop and she was the one who was supposed to do something. OR, she knows the police are corrupt and in league with Umbrella and shouldn't expect the cops to do something. It's such a baffling scene for her. She doesn't ask Brad needs medical attention or if he has a plan. She just complains about the situation and lets him - HER FRIEND APPARENTLY - wander off into a monster infested city. Like she didn't spend the long weekend watching the entire thing burn from her window. Also, Rebecca should've been a minor character in the game. Have her work with Jill occasionally, in the second half of the game, or in uptown or she's in the Rail car. Maybe have a brief sequence where you play as her in a small section of the city - or the hospital - Then have Nemesis kill her. Would really raise the stakes.

[@Paraspectre]

Haha these are excellent points. The whole exchange with Jill and Brad here is just odd. It does feel like they don’t care about each other

[@angelbabyinc]

100th like! ❤

[@Paraspectre]

Someone had to do it 😎

[@raulrojas9253]

Funny I consider RE 2 to be the Lesser experience and RE 3 the far superior experience. Sure is short and only has 1 campaign, 1 campaign with a lot replayability, better puzzles, more action and Nemesis so yeah is pretty easy to say this for me.

[@ericm215]

Imagine if there was 2 scenarios Jill and Brad and if you play as Brad then Jill dies(gasp!!)

[@Paraspectre]

Now you’ve just gone MAD.

[@ChantOfSpirit]

On ~<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1380">23:00</a>, you are telling about game, it sounds like "Rock arena of time". Please, write original title of this game. Is this "Rock Em Sock Em Robot Arena"?

[@YaBoiMaldy_YT]

Pokemon is my 1st favorite franchise, resident evil my 2nd 😎

[@Paraspectre]

I feel like you may enjoy my channel then haha. Any interest in James Bond too?

[@TheMightyN]

Alright, since I am sensing a recurring theme here--why do you even cover the Mikami games if you've barely played his games yourself? There has to be an unwritten code violation about that somewhere.

[@Paraspectre]

I’ve played the original games numerous times

[@WanderlustZero]

I really don't get the criticism of Jill's outfit, mainly by north americans. Is that really considered revealing there? Where I'm from (Europe) you'd wear that to a café to see your girlfriends :3

[@Paraspectre]

Haha I mean I don’t have a problem with it. In fact, her wearing it was the first thing I ever saw for the series. I was only pointing it out because of how her design in RE1 was to deliberately cover her up to try and make her equal to Chris.

[@WanderlustZero]

@@Paraspectre Fair enough, I suppose I was thinking more of the 'omg she looks like a hooker' people.(damn you, Duke Nukem). To me, she just looks stylish. But then I change into the Dino Crisis outfit as soon as I can.

[@lentos8912]

3 felt like an early dlc to 2. the remakes feel the same way
