I miss these days, my brother just bought me the game and left me alone in my room to play so he could go out with his friends…my dad was still alive…. I mean memories on memories with this great game, I hope you guys had some fun times with this series too

[@STARSVeteran]

The OG Trilogy was incredible. Your brother has some good taste in games. RIP to your dad.

[@jozefrockatansky1588]

This was my first playstation game. we were not too well off as a family, but I remember my dad taking us to Bristol, and there was a tiny shop called Vgames, and me and my brother didn't think anymore into it, and then he just came out with it and said "right, pick some games then" ...it was a surprise and he got us a used PS1 and we were allowed to pick a few games...and I saw Resident Evil, and once I'd read the back and looked at the small pictures on the back, my mind was made up, told my brother he could pick all the next few games, like barry says "I have this!" and I was so happy. My brother then picked Wipeout, and Actua Soccer...yeah shame that, Wipeout was good at least...but i'll never forget that day, fond memory, to this day RE1 is still my fave, my first paycheck went on a gamecube purely for the RE1 remake!

Interesting enough about those two cut character Gelzer and Dewey. In the Hong Kong Manwha serialization of Resident Evil 2 during the late 90's (Don't know if they was licensed, but they did mention Capcom alot, so probably bought the license to make their own loose based comic) the comic used these two cut characters that appeared in the comic.

[@cellshade87]

Good video. 👍 in interviews with Charlie, Chris Redfield live action actor, he talked about some behind the scene stories. He said his lines were dubbed over by the in game voice actor but the shouting line "NO, DON'T GO" was Charlie. He also dyed his hair. 😂

[@sonidash216]

Hold up, the 1st Resident Evil game was released on April 1st, 1996 in the US, they literally released the NTSC-U version on April Fools Day of 1996.

Yea so

Dude these type of videos are awesome! I remember when I first found you when you started doing the Metroid Prime cut content & history videos. Resident Evil is right up there with Metroid to being one of my most favorite franchises of all time. Can't wait to see more for Resident Evil! 😁

[@D3V10U5]

Keep making vids. Love your content! Subbed and liked

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thanks man! Always plan to do so! :)

My favorite moment in RE1 DC was the music in the hall leading out to Forrest. As a kid, I immediately heard it and went "fuck that" and stopped for a few months. I couldnt have been older than 7. About when DC came out.

[@cillianennis9921]

My favourite music from the game is the clowns farting. You can really tell they highered a fraud when he made the alright basement theme into whatever. I have only heard bad things about the directors cut music or is it just a specific version with the dual shock controllers.

[@CMasta121]

@@cillianennis9921 It's hit and miss. Of course you have the notorious basement theme. You also have a really good Forrest theme. Also like the new save room theme.

[@cillianennis9921]

@@CMasta121 yea I think the main reason is just the man that made the songs was a fraud & he claimed to be deaf so he deliberately made shitty songs for the laughs or something. I forget much about him but I feel like he must've been slightly good. Wait Actually I think he had a ghost writer or something. I need to look into the guy.

At 11:25, the blood message was restored in the Resident Evil Ultimate Director’s Cut fan made mode by Wes67 and the Resident Evil: True Director’s Cut fan made mode released by Deli295. Deli295 did an incredible job to restore some cut content from Beta, Trial and the original Japanese versions. Here are the list of things that Deli295 did: • The original uncut FMVs from the Japanese version, alongside the full-color opening scene from the French and German Director’s Cut release. • The Mansion’s Bathroom from the 01/31/1996 Beta version, which allows you to grab an extra clip after unplugging the Water in Jill’s scenario. • The Mansion’s 2nd Floor Right Stairs wall message in blood, from the Japanese Trial Edition of the game. • The Mansion’s 2nd Floor Main Hall unknown music track, in the scene when Jill meets Barry again (”it’s reeaally powerful”), sourced from the 01/31/1996 Beta version (only on Easy and Original modes). Both the Resident Evil Ultimate Director’s Cut and Resident Evil: True Director’s cut are on the CDRomance web site and you can download them.

[@thetunapeckerblues]

It's great you are covering resident evil!

[@bobafett4265]

I honestly love the 1st Resident Evil, at least it's remake. It's one of the few Resident Evil games I can't argue much with that I find myself coming back to every so often along with Resident Evil 4, I'm glad to see our guy cover more of the Resident Evil series since I seen him cover Resident Evil 4 with it's wild and lengthy development since it's such a wild one, also finding out the Parasite Undead you fight in RE4 are based on an idea on the previous build before the final which was the traditional Zombies was a wild revelation. Honestly seeing more of this series and I guess Capcom titles in general being covered more in the future is always a win in my book, keep it up dude.

[@Resimaster]

I thought i knew pretty much everything about Resident Evil, but your video has showed me even more. Great job!

[@jesseb5328]

Well done!

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you!

[@Jolis_Parsec]

Oh, snap! You mentioning the low quality English dialogue instantly reminded me of my man Barry’s extremely wonky af lines such as the infamous “master of unlocking” quote as well as “You almost were a Jill sandwich!”. 😂

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

as wonky as they are, they are now embedded in all our heads for years :P

[@jesusadrian759]

Thanks to the original trilogy it became both my favorite genre and favorite franchise, and I thank all these programmers, musicians and everyone who worked on this franchise.😊

Forgot to mentiom that RE1 is basically a more advanced copy of Alone in the Dark

[@Ginger_FoxxVT]

Excellent!

[@Zanji1234]

xD so FINALLY i know where the DUM DUM ROUNDS come from. In the German "Directors cut" version they kinda fucked up the translation a bit. Instead of using the "Dietrich" / Lockpick as in the original Jill now uses a "Dum Dum Geschoss" / Dum Dum Rounds to open locks when she doesn't have the key. When we first played his version we looked everyhwere for this ammunition and the gun. (i was 15 when i first played this game, RE 2 was already out) also the colour intro was included in the PAL / German version of directors cut

[@FIGHT_LAND]

nice 👍

[@Farkas-zy8vn]

Excellent video as always sir you are recapturing my childhood with every release and making my work days more tolerable with these constant projects haha. What is your current opinion of the direction the franchise is heading now? I do think the FPV perspective is a welcome change and thought they really hit something special with RE7 but RE8 just didn’t live up to the hype in my opinion. I’m really hoping they return to classic characters like Claire and maybe try to have them explore some of Umbrella’s dark past like whatever happened to Steve Burnside from Code Veronica or perhaps explore Hunk’s origin. Either way excellent as always and really looking forward to your next videos!

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Well the direction of going in a freeform aiming route makes sense simply for the sake of audiences nowadays have no tolerance for the classic tank control style. However balance must be kept in still keeping you in your toes with limited inventory and other aspects, which I'm glad 7 and after have struck that balance that 5-6 messed up I do personally hope the series goes back to being third person again.

[@zZiL341yRj736]

That live action opening was scarier than any of the CGI bullshit coming out today.

[@Riz2336]

I remember how shocking this game was when it came out, I still have yet to beat this RE game and I've beaten almost all of them. I've got the remake for PS4 and the original for Sega Saturn

[@synaesthesia2010]

I had the DS version at one point, finished both campaigns within a week as it was so easy, it's all to do with how well you can manage your inventory

[@costby1105]

Alone in the Dark was 3d, Resident evil made the genre popular.

[@synaesthesia2010]

Look how pixelated the 3D modelling looks on the Saturn. That's what happens when it has no polygon capability and it twists ans skews 2D textures to give the illusion of 3D. Kind of a dumb design choice from Sega there

[@Gator159]

I would play through this game if there was a first-person mode or perhaps a RE4 style third person mode. Otherwise it's not really for me :-( The same treatment is needed for RE0 and code Veronica.

Yuck. Those are why I dropped the series. If anything, RE4 and onward should be remade in a RE0-3 style.

[@BangSkeeet]

I thought I couldn't go back to these classic too due to tank controls , overall being "spoiled" by RE Remakes. Went back to RE: CVX on Dolphin with upscaled textures and it's very good. Don't miss out
