What I always loved about Lisa, was the little subtle implication that she doesn't actually want to kill you so much as just chase you away from her home while she searches for her mother. She knocks you out but leaves you alone until you wake up, and she only chases you out of her cabin without following even though she absolutely could have began following you out of the forest and even into the mansion. She'll kill you if you stand your ground, but it's like she just wants you to leave her and her territory alone rather than being mindlessly aggressive like all the other monsters.

I dunno if that was their intention but the fact you’ve thought about it speaks volumes about the game’s immersive atmosphere

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

@@CursedWheelieBin What makes me think that it was deliberate is they went out of their way to have the scene of her knocking out Chris or Jill but leaving them alone until they wake up. Just because it seems like they very deliberately had a scene of her NOT killing you when she had the chance, very much unlike every other infected creature you've encountered. Either they were trying to show she really doesn't want to kill you, or that she has some kind of thought process going on that the other mindless infectees don't have.

They actually did this in the new movie, so you’re probably right.

As an old fan, what I loved about Lisa Trevor is how well she's integrated into the overarching story. She was experimented not with the T-virus you fight in the REmake, but with the original virus that was the focus of 0 and was suppossed to be the focus of 4 before they scratched it. Her tentacles and her giant eye are there because she was injected with the Nemesis parasite and that made her body the source of what would eventually become the G-virus. I'm not entirelly sure that Lisa ever died, honestly. I expected her to show up in some capacity in some titles over the years like Outbreak. Lisa is ironically the closest they got for decades to what Umbrella was after, as she got the enhancements of a tyrant, the regeneration of the G-virus and got to keep a lot of her sanity. Arguably that was lost because of trauma more than the infection itself.

[@SlitWristMisfit_]

The mansion's insane construction actually ties into Lisa's story as well, as the architect behind the madness was her father, George Trevor. Oswald Spencer paid George a King's ransom to help him design a maddening labyrinth with insane puzzles and such to conceal his secret testing facility. The more George built the mansion, the more crazy he became...which is perhaps why it took him so long to realize that Oswald was using him, and planning on getting rid of him after the mansion was built. George dies realizing he lead his wife and child to their doom.

[@Avenging_Archer]

Fun fact, Jill's background as being in the army and former Delta Force would make her literally the most badass woman ever to have existed. Delta Force is THE Super Elite anti-terrorism Special Forces unit. In order to even get to apply for it you have to already be an outstanding member of the Army, they recruit from Green Berets, Rangers and even Navy SEALS sometimes. The trials to get into Delta Force are extremely tough, most wash out and to date, no woman has even passed them IRL. Thing is, Jill is like 22 or 23 by the time of RE1. Even for men, that's too young. Which means in order to qualify to apply for Delta and pass the trials, she would have to be like the Mozart of military operators, a real prodigy, and possibly borderline superhuman lol, her credentials are such that she would necessarily be way more badass than Chris who washed out of the air force. Maybe in more recent years they've given her a more realistic background, but I think her original is so badass.

REmake was my introduction to the series. It was early 2003, I was nine years old (soon to be ten), and my dad rented the game from Blockbuster. Though my experience with horror was limited at the time, I decided to give it a spin and see how I felt about it. The first thing I noticed was the control scheme - stiff, awkward, finicky. It took some getting used to, though not as much as some people might think. I got the hang of it, and over next few weeks, my dad and I experienced moments in this game that would forever be etched into my memory as iconic. A horde of zombies smashing through the windows of the east wing hallway. A giant, venomous snake slithering around in a dust-laden attic. Our brief foray into the residence and its myriad horrors, from the giant tarantulas in the rec room to the bloodthirsty sharks in the basement. While we're on the subject, let me take this opportunity to say that Richard's death really affected me at the time. It was one of the most tragic moments I'd ever experienced in a video game, and although it would be a long time before I picked it up again, I never forgot his heroic sacrifice. Wesker's betrayal was another shocking moment. When I first played this game, I didn't know the Resident Evil storyline and saw Wesker as the team leader, a father to his men. (Also, my dad played through certain portions of the game while I was at school - including the earlier segment of the lab where Wesker was revealed to be working for Umbrella.) When Chris and Rebecca encountered him again and he turned on us, it was the shock of all shocks. After we had completed the game and returned it to the rental store, it would be another seven years before I got a chance to experience REmake again, this time for the Wii. At sixteen years old, I was ready to relive the terrors that captivated me as a young child; in so doing, I also experienced a few new ones that I didn't get to see my first time around. I will never forget my first encounter with Lisa Trevor in her cabin atop the hill. When I entered the house, it seemed peaceful enough - almost like a safe room, but without the music. Turns out, I remembered this location from when I was nine, and I remember my dad telling me that there was a "really bad" enemy here at some point. Soon enough, I got the chance to see that enemy for myself. What I had encountered defied simple description. It was too grotesque, too eldritch to even comprehend. All I knew was that this thing was dangerous, and I'd better run. I fled the building and ran as quickly as I possibly could down the winding trail that led me there in the first place, never once looking back to see if she was still pursuing me. I didn't know if I was actually getting chased or not, and I wasn't about to find out. Few enemies have ever had this sort of effect on me before. She was a creature like no other. Today, REmake remains one of my favorite games of all time. No matter how many times I've played through it, I can never seem to overcome the perennial urge to immerse myself in the ornate, caliginous atmosphere of the Spencer Mansion. What I wouldn't give to experience this masterpiece anew all over again.

32:36 Personally, I've always kind of thought of the book version as the canon version since it addresses some glaring plot holes. Chief among them, Barry and Rebecca. In later games, these two are clearly alive and well. But in RE1, depending on who you play as, it's heavily implied that one of them dies. The book addresses this by creating a hybrid story that switches between Jill and Chris's stories and ends with Jill, Chris, Rebecca and Barry all escaping together.

[@gabrielvaleriano2562]

It's less of a plothole, more of a canon-noncanon ending type scenario. The good ending is obviously the canon one, as is true as well with Fallout 1 and 2, as well as Silent Hill. Your character dying in FO1 and 2 is a legitimate ending, there is also the ending for getting dipped into the vats - but FO2 couldn't happen if that happens in FO1, and New Vegas couldn't happen if FO2 didn't happen. In SIlent Hill as well, the Good + Ending (or whatever it's called) is the ending where Dadman McForgotthename escapes with the child as well as Cybil. This leads into Silent Hill 3, which claims that Dadman McForgotthename raised the child into Heather. So it's not really a plothole, as much as it could be taken as alternate universes.

Something I really like about these games is the little character things that carry over across the series. Things like the characters all having a distinct color palette across all games, and the walk animations being distinct for each character and carried across every game. Super cool stuff

The ultimate Resident Evil experience. All rooms are extremely detailed, the setting is fantastic. The soundtrack and the environment, the camera angles, and even possible difficulties with the control of the characters are essential for the game to work perfectly. We saw what happened with RE3.

Watching this after the RE3 Remake, I feel bad for what they did to RE3R. They should have taken tips on what they did on this remake and kept stuff while adding optional side stories.

[@hasangenc2922]

Exactly. Re3 was a rushed cashgrab. Re2 R was better, but still not nearly as perfect as the first Remake.

[@hasangenc2922]

@Linda Niemkiewicz very true. Especially since RE3 was one of the fan favourites (mine as well, best RE after Remake 1 and RE2 '98) and had probably the most infamous and iconic enemy of the whole franchise. But, they butchered it. As soon as i heard it got outsourced, i had a bad feeling about this. It could have been pretty easy remaking RE3 in the right way. Add the clock tower, sent Jill to the RPD, let Brad follow you at the beginning on top of the building, Nemesis destroys the helicopter, kills Brad THEN you run him over. Expand the city streets and give Nemesis more chances to stalk and chase you. Then give him a second form like in the original, and let him transform in his beast form at the lab. That's it. Just like the original, but expanded upon with the bigger hospital and stuff. And still Capcom managed to screw this game up. I don't get it.

[@splash_067]

@Linda Niemkiewicz Capcom noticed how much people liked the way they gutted RE2 in it's remake so that's why RE3 remake is the way that it is

[@IMATR0LL0L0L]

@Kenzie Jean I think you should. Plus the first half of 3 happens before 2 and there's references to 2 in 3 and playing the RE2/3 remakes in any order doesn't cause any story confusion, etc. I would play 3 to get some of that actiony horror and then switch to 2 to get a more tense, difficult, "RE" horror experience that's closer to the roots of the series

My dear friend Suzi, This was a truly MASTERFUL “Resident Evil REmake” video right here. You always do such a truly amazing job on your channel’s content, speaking in an easy to understand and comforting voice that is soothing to the ear, editing each one with the precision of a well timed slice of a combat knife, and showing a level of dedication to your craft that is both inspiring and admirable in all counts Suzi. This was a more than welcome walk back through time, a time when Resident Evil got one of its finest entries in the series storied iconic history, and is a game I could hear people talk about all day and night. The same goes for any of your other Resident Evil videos on your channel as well. This series’ has been a part of my life and gaming memories since way back in the days of the original PlayStation and forever will live in a special place of my Heart, for all of time itself, with Remake being a title often I find myself REturning to year after year to RE-experience the Horror all over again just like it was back in either 2002 or to reminisce how it was back in 1996 where it all began. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed this video, please keep up the fantastic work, and know very much that the Resident Evil community along with those of us in the ROE love what you do very, very much Suzi. Stay happy, healthy, and blessed. Lastly know this dear friend, Survivors Stick Together, and we are behind you 100% of the way. Always. 😌🕯 P.S.

I dunno if I agree on the "Barry was in on it the entire time" I always kinda figured that at some point early on when they split up Wesker came to him and showed him that umbrella has his family. I don't think he knew when they were in the forest or when they discover the monsters for the first time. But that's just me

I think that's expanded in later games but Wesker had him in his pocket since the beginning.

This was the first my first Resident Evil game. I fell in love with the attention to detail in the pre-rendered backgrounds. All the notes found throughout the mansion really told the story of the mansion and the horrible things done there. The story of Lisa and her mother was so tragic. The sound design was spot on. The music built the PERFECT amount of tension but didn’t distract from what was going on. I will forever LOVE this game.

Excellent essay Suzi. This is by far the most articulate and academic review of Resident Evil. My personal opinion on why Crimson Head's are so frightening is how they don't run. They hobble towards you at an uncanny speed and it throws off your sense of observing body language. It is one of many ways the game is engineered to prey upon human senses.
