Resident Evil Retrospective Gametrailers COMPLETE

[@Evan_Lionheart]

I remember watching this around 13 years ago or something. Gametrailers been an amazing team with all reviews and trailers, miss those guys.

[@MyDeathslayer]

They are easy allies now in youtube. Having said that, I think this more edited style of videos isn't as prevalent in the new channel. I think this retrospectives, pop fiction and such was what made them special. Still a good channel.

[@snoopym3x]

@@MyDeathslayer yeah you are right. This whole retrospective type of videos isnt in their new channel as much as when they were GT or screwattack. Though their game reviews are more or less like they were before.

[@DestinyZX1]

[@prestlern4160]

I would pay a lot of money to have them expand this series to include all the new releases since this came out (5, 6, 7, 8, RE 2 & RE 3 remake)

[@JaneDoe-sv1mk]

This is amazing. Thank you for putting this together. I am infatuated with the series and this video was a masterpiece. The history and detail is a true art. Stating "great job" is the biggest understatement I can say.

[@Baz87100]

The music in RE1 original will never be surpassed in terms of making the player feel unsettled, imo. It still holds up 25 years later. The Remake also did a great job at recapturing that unsettling feeling and overall atmosphere the original gave us.

[@HUNKxTofu]

Thank you so much (for compiling/posting this), Chris Leathco!

[@woozer3213]

I love what you did here. It's like a whole new story on its own. So much info that I wasn't interested in putting together myself stitched so nicely that it feels like something new almost. I wish way more people would stop to see this!

[@martinrosendahl9134]

Res 1 + 2 was and still is the best experience I've had on the old grey PS1... I know, there's a ton of great games for that machine and several just as inventive and genre defining as Res Evil... but these two are the ones I remember the best. Played Res1 at release with a good friend - I had no console of any kind at the time. As soon as Res2 was announced I knew I had to get a PS of my own. So the first game I owned for my brand new PS was Res2. I've said it before but it wont hurt to say it again. Res2 is THE best game made for PS1... period!!! .... and thanks to you Chris for making this great video... now all I need to do is get that PS out of the closet, hook it up and back to Raccoon City a.s.a.p. :D

One of my favorite series of games to play no matter how bad or good it is I still stick by it today great job on the retrospect

[@skullknight_5682]

oh man this is some good nostalgia right here, love me some old school game trailers

[@neoryan2]

I agree with that one last statement about the series not featuring zombies. Resident Evil/Biohazard has always, ALWAYS, been about viral and parasitic outbreaks and the B.O.W.'s that were developed from them. Whether it was from Umbrella, Tricell, WilPharma, or whatever; whether the game had zombies, hunters, tyrants, gandos, and everything in between; whether it's the T-Virus, G-Virus, T Veronica Virus, Progenitor, C-Virus, Los Plagas, or even The Mold, the fact remains that the series has always been about one thing: Biohazard.

[@LucaBlight25]

That avalanche guy seems to think it's just about zombies.

[@BrainDamageComedy]

excellent documentary of fantastic games. thanks for this upload.

[@High5Authentic]

Should of started out with the original Chris intro where he started up his smokes, "I GOT A SHOTGUN! ' But aye, this video couldn't say it any better! Props Man!

[@squidwardtentacles2736]

Man Code Veronica has to be the most underrated and underdiscussed title. It contained some of the traditional cheesiness but added some frightening monsters (looking at you Bandersnatch) and creepiness. It added just enough psychological horror with Alfred's insanity and probably the creepiest aspect of game. The scene where Alfred looks in the mirror, then runs away screaming is so iconic! Then there's multiple locations, and you play through each as Chris also with more rooms opened to explore. The difficulty can be rough, but it's a wild ride!

[@IncredibleFulk1]

1:30:47 That shade at Resident Evil Degeneration though. Bruh……….. Still loved this and miss old Game Trailers.

[@larsonfam3861]

RE 1, 2, and 3 are a perfect trilogy, it's literally perfect, the opening, the offset juxtaposing sequel, and the return and survival of our original protagonists, and the fate of the entire the setting as a whole meeting its destruction. It was the most solid foundation for a series of unending interst and endurance. The ability, and desire, to delve deeper into the beginnings and progression of the events and characters were overwhelming and still maintain to this day over 20 years later. I am very excited to see the revamp for 3! Some people I've heard say it wasn't good or didnt play it, they are heretics in the RE collective! Awaken ye fools! The most badass and memorable enemy of both love and evil origins, the improvements to damage and movements, new monsters that were super cool, and the new settings and atmosphere made the outbreak tangible to the player on the scale it was felt by the city. RE3 was amazing, and it didnt have to break new ground, it did what it did and did it so well, that game bothed closed and opened the books on Resident Evil as a universe. Can I get a hell yeah?!

[@johndewberryiii9925]

Larson Fam I liked RE 3 it felt real different definitely more on the action side. Idk why people were so surprised with RE4 my personal fave though is Code Veronica that felt like a true sequel to RE2

[@Zafarnama111]

Hell Yeah!

[@GasmaskAvenger]

Watching this in anticipation for RE2 remake tomorrow.

[@CityStarrzz]

What did you think of the remake in the end?

[@TheLowBrassDude]

[@26mrwrestlemania]

From the little I saw, I like those concepts for Resident Evil 4. They look much more scary than the final product. Good info, very insightful

[@thorboysen3318]

Code Veronica rules! Alfred and Alexia were really cool and creative villains. Rockford island, the Antarctic, the whole atmosphere of the game was amazing!

[@ChrisDeger]

[@THAGZA85]

I always thought it was funny how Rebecca never warns chris about the possible monsters he may encounter

[@StooRoxxAss]

It's because Crapcom fucked up to make it a solid prequel.

[@nay4658]

A 16 years old girl pushed to be a child soldier in a special unit was sent in the middle of unimaginable horrors. She snapped. Thats why we never saw her again in te serie. She turned evil, and wanted the others to die for sending a child into a nightmare.

[@johndewberryiii9925]

Nay interesting point of view I always wondered why they did nothing with this especially with the REmake and 0 they had a second chance to do something. Rebecca should have been playable or at least showed some type of familiarity to the situation having just come out of the same ordeal. If she was gonna snap and hide they should have illustrated that. I’ll never forget the look on Jill’s face during the intro it’s sheer horror nothin with Rebecca at least if she freaked out players would know why

[@chrisd6287]

I always thought the same thing. Like, she has just been her own crazy RE outbreak ordeal and by the time she gets to the mansion she should in reality be a hardened veteran thus making the other team members aware. Butttt no, she instead is this innocent and useless teeny bopper. Lol

[@michaelmyers4943]

@@chrisd6287 I always rationalized this by playing RE0 mainly as Billy and using Rebecca as my pack mule so she can be about as useful as she is in RE1 and keep some structure to my playthrough's continuity.

[@TJGAMINGSCOTLAND]

You can never beat the original Resident Evil, it made survival horror history!

IN the comics, there was a scene where Jill enters the room where the guy who had Ada as password stood, in the comic it was the last lucid moments of the guy and the note had the ink barely dry... they portrayed Jill like a motherfucker badass who entered and exploded the guy's head. Those scenes where the mutated guy point of view, the last goodbye to Ada (yes, spy Ada of RE2 who was infiltrating RE1 mansion, at least so it seemed).. I just love this universe and i am glad it was born in another era where graphics were not the only concern.

[@SilverShelled]

Man what a great video series, too bad GameTrailers isn't what it used to be or else they'd be following up with this. The RE franchise could definitely get some more love since RE7 and the new remakes are out, as well as the upcoming RE8 entry. Also fuck the movie adaptations, absolute trash cept for the first one cause it's a guilty pleasure.

[@TheVonzilla]

They didn’t explain the RE3 CodeVeronica ordeal very well, nor did they really explain how RE3 was set b4 & after RE2. But other than that, I’m at RECV right now & so far it’s been awesome. These things are never gonna be as detailed as fans want them to, but it’s still great, & really takes you back. We were are all so enthralled with this story, it makes me wish they would’ve stuck more closely to it, maybe adding some new characters. The way they did things after CodeVeronica was ... different, and cool in its own right, but it just wasn’t the same. RE4 was fantastic, & I liked the way they took the story, but it needed to tie back to umbrella. And I was fine with 4, 5, & 6 being more action oriented, they just needed to stick closely to 2 things, Umbrella in the story, & monsters! For me, the coolest things about RE weren’t zombies. They were great, but it was the variety in monsters! It linked regular old zombies to much bigger & scarier mutations. Whether it was a giant version of a snake or moth or whatever, or something unrecognizable, the different mutations or monsters, gave the game a bit of a sci-fi edge by learning bit by bit how people were turned into those horrific creations, what the different viruses did to different things, & it was awesome. I think if they would’ve had more monsters throughout 4, 5, and 6, & stuck closer to the whole umbrella conspiracy, they would’ve been better off, and wouldn’t have had a need to do what they did with 7. They need to hire the industry’s best for 8, & figure out how to combine & condense the whole story, & give gamers the endings for these characters that they deserve. New stories can always be started after, but we need an ending for at least the 4 main characters & to get a conclusion with the old umbrella big wigs and their early T, G, & C virus research. I’m just spitballing here, I just wanna get back to my characters. Bc while RE7 was cool, it’s really doesn’t advance the story. Not really.

[@somaoni8806]

Ruthus Well I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking the next three games are actually very fun. 7 as well but the most hated are 5 and 6 amongst most of the RE community as far as I’ve seen. I don’t think all of the changes are good but it’s not terrible to accept change. Do you also hate 7 because it doesn’t have fixed camera’s?

[@somaoni8806]

Ruthus Ah I see. I’m glad I’m wrong, I thought you were nothing but a jaded fanboy who cannot accept change and only hates the games for the perspective being changed. I’m glad I’m wrong, I apologize for presuming what you initially were. Also don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying RE 4, 5, 6, and 7 are perfect games. I’m just saying they are enjoyable game’s to me personally. And that (for better or for worse depending on your perspective) RE4 was the change the game needed. In fact, the original RE4 build called Madman (or Madhouse) is something that I feel sounds more up your alley. As it still retains the fixed camera’s but some hallways/rooms use a third person perspective. I suggest you look into it if you haven’t. You may find yourself pleased. I also love the fixed camera games as well. My favorite of those being 2 even though I don’t like how easy it is, that being said I also like the other games (as stated before) for numerous reasons. All of the games have their advantages and disadvantages. But if you don’t like them, then to each their own. :)

[@mrskinszszs]

I am a huge fan of the originals and I thought RE 7 was good. I don't find the FP perspective a crime. Even Mikami intended for the original to be in FP, but had to settle for fixed cameras due to the hardware limitations of the times. I also felt like the series needed some sort of reboot. It has a lot of the same core elements of the original, even down exploring a creepy mansion. It was time for a departure of the original story, which has been all but beaten to death at this point, and I thought that it was a pretty good return to form for the survival horror that they had been straying so far from since 04.
