This game has a really promising concept. The backstory of Umbrella persuading and luring children in by taking them to arcades and amusement parks only to abduct them to use for experiments is utterly horrifying and could be done justice with a reimagining.

[@adam346]

I LOVE the fact that he has to say his whole name "Leon S. Kennedy" as though people couldn't put 2 and 2 together if he just said "Leon" or better yet, refer to him by him middle name "Scott" so they can then come up with a convoluted reason why Leon used his middle name for some time.

In my rambling I forgot to mention that the Japanese one has the lightgun features still. Good times.

[@Donlad222]

it holds up VERY well. Like, all the gripes I had over it went away very quickly with how fun the lightgun gameplay actually is. The closest I'd put it at is an archaic version of RE4 Wii

[@humanice2]

It does not hold up, trust me.. Playing Survivor with the GunCon is terrible, the control layout is really bad and confusing, playing the game like that is way harder than with the standard controller. But, playing Dead Aim with the GunCon 2 is a blast, the controls are perfect, I'll never play Dead Aim again using the normal controller.

[@Triad_Orion]

Unironically, I want that hypothetical fanfiction remake that Suzi described. I legit want that, considering I thought Ark's amnesia *thing* as gaslighting himself into the villainous role was incredibly compelling. One of those "blind squirrel finding a nut" things, and having it executed better would be incredibly cool, especially if we're doubling down on how dark Sheena Island's lore really is. Great vid, and a great time. Thank you for your hard work on this one, Suzi!

I have so much nostalgia for this game! When I was 7-8 I met my best friend at school and the 1st time I spent the night at his place he put this game on and we played it all night but didn't beat it. Every time I went over we always got a lil bit further until the day came and we actually beat the game. Those sleep overs were some of my fondest childhood memories and its all thank to this game! My best friend isn't with us anymore and it just makes those memories more precious. Thanks for giving this game the spotlight it deserves!

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

11:47 Actually, this game WAS released with GunCon support "in the West": here in Europe it was released as "Gun Survivor" just like in Japan and you could use the official PS1 light-gun with it. It wasn't that much fun though: to move, you had to aim the gun slightly below the screen and press the trigger. Pressing it very fast would make you run. You could turn by pressing the A and B buttons on the gun's left and right side. It was very frustrating and very often you would find yourself either shooting when you were supposed to move or the other way around. The only upside when compared to using the controller was that you didn't have to manually move the crosshair - you just had to point the gun at the enemy and fire. But, as with any PS1 light-gun game, it only worked fine if you had the gun properly calibrated before each play (those who played the domestic edition of "Time Crisis" know what I am talking about - you could spend up to 20 minutes to get the damn thing to shoot straight, depending on a number of factors including the make and age of your TV set). Moreover, this game was only granted to work with the GunCon (hence why I said "official PS1 light-gun" earlier): at that time there was a whole industry of third-party manufacturers of PS1 peripherals, which also included light-guns - and a lot of people preferred to buy what other brands were offering rather than Namco's model because they either had better looks (some of them were modeled after real weapons) or more advanced features (like recoil simulation - which usually broke down after a few play-throughs). Needless to say, this game was not highly regarded on this side of the pond despite the fact it could be played as it was originally intended.

[@leeartlee915]

Yeah, us Americans (when talking about video games) seem to often overlook Europe…. which is odd because we do include y’all as “the west” when talking about culture and such. Not sure why that is… probably because PAL was it’s own weird thing.

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

It needed a support stick for movement in other words. ...yeah no thanks I'm using the re controller instead, at least that has a hilariously useless turbo button

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

Having never owned a GunCon and could only try to approximate it with a mouse in an emulator, I'm glad to hear that the controls are still clunky as all hell even when holding the real thing. Weird how a game designed for a light gun actually plays much more smoothly with a gamepad, like how often does that happen? Though I actually had the best time using the DualShock controls but with the mouse emulating the left stick, for PC FPS-esque keyboard-and-mouse play.

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

@@leeartlee915 PAL still exists and is not weird - I am talking as a cinematographer and former ENG cameraman here. In the days of Standard Definition, PAL was actually superior in quality because it had 625 lines of resolution vs NTSC's own 525. It running at 25fps also made transferring movies on tape easier and vice-versa: Steven Soderbergh famously shot "Full Frontal" with PAL Canon XL1S cameras for these very reasons (the movie was shot on MiniDV tapes but transferred to 35mm film: not only 25fps made the transfer easier, but the image looked a bit better in the blow up). Nowadays, quality-wise, everything is the same because HD is 1920x1080 (2048x1080 in 2K DCI) and UHD is 3840x2160 (4096x2160 in 4K DCI) everywhere - the only difference is frame rate. Also, only the US, Canada, and Japan use NTSC.

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

@@LonelySpaceDetective It was a failed attempt. It would've worked better with the Dreamcast's own light gun of the PS2's GunCon 2, since they both had either a d-pad or an analog stick on the back of the handle. I wonder if the GC2 was actually compatible with the Japanese\EU edition running on a PS2. I remember "Dead Aim" could be played with a light gun (although I don't remember anyone owning a GunCon 2: it wasn't exactly a popular accessory).

[@kabob21]

@@LordVader1094 Gun culture has vastly changed since the '80s. Back then, they were literally just tools for hunting and occasionally self defense if you lived in a bad neighborhood or had a job that required it. Nobody was all "mah 2nd amendment rights!" about it and most folks didn't fetishize firearms like they do now. Heck, back then the NRA was a more respected organization that advocated for hunting rights and self defense and not shills for the gun industry like they are now.

Love seeing this deep dive into Survivor, Suzi. Have you watched Noah Caldwell-Gervais' "Thorough Look at Resident Evil" video? He spends about 8 minutes (out of a 7.5-hour video) on Survivor and I love how he summarized the politics of making a lightgun game with the lightgun redacted after the Columbine tragedy: "Thank you, Capcom USA, for making this low-effort zombie shooter more awkward out of respect for our national tragedy. While it might have meant more to pull the game altogether, this half-hearted gesture has united us in healing during our time of crisis." Priceless.

I love that I can stick to any of the mainline RE titles and I'm in good hands...and yes, that includes Code Veronica, RE0 and the Revelations titles! I've attempted the spin off stuff. From Outbreak to Operation Raccoon City, to watching videos about this game. The thing I see in common with all of them is this...WOW does Resident Evil LOVE to revisit locations from it's early titles! How many labs and Mr. X's and Tyrants and Nemesis's can one fight!?! I haven't played Survivor, admittedly, but it looks like a repeat of all of the stuff that exists within the first three games. I definitely will never love this game for one very simple reason. I HATE the idea of multiple Mr. X's. Tyrants is one thing...but X had style! I will probably one day play all the spin off RE games just for the f*ck of it, but I ain't hoping for much! I still think that RE, as a series, is going very strong! There is no less than 12 entries that wear the brand well...15 if you include originals and REmakes!

[@jonathankozenko]

I have for a LONG time stated that I would love a remake of Survivor, not because it's a great game, but because it was the game with the most unrealized potential. I mean, the setting of a Tyrant Factory is chilling, the documents showcasing what takes place to create them is sickening, and the mystery twist where you TRULY believe that you were the one who, intentionally, released the T-Virus is one that could have lead to an amazing RE title! I think this game should be remade just so that all of this wasted potential is fully realized!

The year is 2005, I was in 6th grade in school. Dad bought me my first ever PS1, the one with curved corners. It was jailbroken, he bought me like 20 something games. One among them was Resident Evil Gun Survivor. Unlike nearly entirety of the RE fanbase, my first RE game that actually made me a fan was Gun Survivor. Me and my brother literally cheesed the game on hard difficulty we loved it so damn much. As someone who had no idea about the existence of a Resident Evil 1, 2 or 3 in 2005 because we didn't have a PC and internet connection at that time was highly intrigued by the game and the world it built. I was always excited about what comes next. But later on as years passed by, i got a PC, internet, played a few more RE games to realise the big picture - i could never and still don't dislike RE Gun Survivor in anyway - I fucking love every bit of this game, if not for this I would've never fell in love with RE.

Back then I played a pirated version of this with FULL Russian translation. Yes, even voicelines were in pure Russian.

Pirates those days did more effort than legit publishers now. Fully translated games, at least the text was, and RE 2 and 3 had Russian voiceover as well.

I'm happy to see you reviewed my favorite RE game of all time. This was the first RE game I finished and believe it or not it was the game that made understand tank controls, so getting used to the other RE's controls wasn't hard. Since I'm from Mexico finding and buying an original copy was kinda of hard, so I played it on a pirated PS1. However, for some reason my console stop reading the disc and I couldn't play it. A few years ago I found a second hand copy listed online along with the complete PS1 RE collection in almost mint condition, I was so happy that I saved and payed the 240 dollars the seller asked. To this day I treasure my copy with all my heart. This game has an interesting lore and connects to the other games in certain ways: Ark being friends with Leon, Nicholai from RE3 sending messages to this island to report his progress and even confirming that he survived Raccon City, making the Barry ending the canonical one, the origin of Mr. X, etc. And as the RE survivor nerd that I am, I want to add a little detail about the incident in this game: Vincent not only was paranoic because of Ark's investigation, other Umbrella employees wanted to report him to the high command because of his horrible behaviour and the fact that he killed in cold blood the prisioners that tried to escape, his colleagues were mad at him because bringing children to the island was expensive and took a long time. When Vincent found out he was going to be reported he released the T-virus to erase any proof of his wrongdoings, so he had his reasons to doom the entire island. Great video, I love the way you review horror games, keep the good job going and I look forward to the Dead Aim review.

I was so pumped to get this game back in high school simply because it was another RE game. To be honest, I actually enjoyed it. It has a certain charm to it. There is so much content and replay-ability in this game. If they would have actually put any effort into this it could have been so much better. I just would like the next spinoff game to be set on the island that Ark, Carlos, Sheeva, and Billy Cohen are stuck on!

I swear it feels amazing that Survivor is being covered for the fact that no one knew what I was talking about when I was trying to describe this game as best as I could.

Suzie, you made my day, literally it was the only thing i watched today that isn't related to calculus (I'm studying night and day for my exam).

I'm very late to this conversation, but growing up, my dad and I would play RE on ps1 and GameCube all the time. He got me into gaming in general. My mom, on the other hand, could not play for the life of her. The only RE game she could ever finish on her own was Survivor. She absolutely loved it for that reason. So, for me, as critiqued as Survivor is, I will always hold the game close to my heart. It was really amazing for my dad and I to watch my mom beat this game on her own and all her excitement about it. I don't know if anyone else has an experience like mine, but I had to share. The game doesn't get a lot of real discussion. Thanks for making so many great videos on one of the greatest video game series of all time!!

I still own this game. I quite liked it, playing as Leon’s friend was cool. A future sequel where Leon trains him and you play as him would be cool.

[@hotnessgaming1396]

I thought this was Resi 4 for the longest time. (I was a kid when resident evil was coming out and English wasn’t my mother tongue). I had beaten resident evil 3 at that point and I borrowed this from my friend who told me this was resident evil 4. Didn’t play resi 4 until like a year or two after it had come out and kept telling everyone how much Resi 4 sucked compared to the originals :D Something similar happened to me again when I had only played PC version of Spider-Man 2 and every time I heard people praise Spider-Man 2 as one of the best superhero games ever I’d be like “well, they must not have played any good games” :D PC version is laughably bad and completely different from the console versions.

Anyway, again great video and looking forward to the next one.

[@Xehanort10]

I know most RE villains have their OTT qualities but they tried too hard to make Vincent super evil and it made him seem comical. "Oh he cuts out kids brains to create T-103 Tyrants and shot and killed the ones who tried to escape the prison." And the game being all "He's so evil even the Umbrella higher ups want him gone." I doubt Umbrella, the company founded by an old man who wanted to be a god leading a race of superhumans, had his 2 co founders killed just to get more power in the company, trapped the architect who built his mansion in said mansion where he starved to death, used the architect's wife and daughter as test subjects which killed Jessica and left Lisa a childlike creature who wanted her mother, a company that took advantage of a citywide outbreak partly caused by them trying to steal the new virus a scientist of theirs made to send in the T-103 to get the G-Virus sample and send the Nemesis in to get back at STARS for destroying their mansion research. I doubt they cared that one of their employees killed kids they only considered experiments.

[@retroroy8720]

This might be a headcanon but I think part of why Umbrella wanted Vincent gone was because Spencer saw the potential Vincent had and wanted him gone, fearing a repeat of William Birkin, especially so soon after Raccoon City happened.

TBH I'd love a remake for this game. Me personally, I didn't think RE 4 needed a remake or reimagining. It was masterful on its own. But to get to explore raccoon city in ways that the @RE3make was supposed to give us would be awesome. Which is why I wish they would remake outbreak. With those characters and stories, it doesn't come off as cheesey. Plus we get to see zombie animals in rare form. Heck before and RE 4 I'd like to have seen a remake to Survival, along with Dead Aim and possibly Gaiden. I don't mind seeing a Leon parred with Barry either. Just so many options why remake a game thats damn near perfect as is. 😕

Your experiences were identical to mine: I got Survivor as a fan back in the day, beat it in one sitting and hated it, returning it the next day and getting something else instead. I came back to it years later with a lot more patience and appreciation for what it brought to the franchise, as well as being more entertained by its goofy nature than taking offense to it. I love the sheer amount of content it has, how you can amass and arsenal of weapons and collect a bundle of files through three playthroughs. It's such a unique game that, yes, could definitely benefit from getting a rework. Thanks so much for making this video and giving Survivor some of the respect it deserves. Too many people just dismiss the game based on popular opinion when there's a fun little gem hidden beneath all the vitriol.

I rented this as a kid, pleasantly surprised to find a Resident Evil game I'd never heard of. I had a lot of fun with it in spite of all the cringe. It was nice how the branching paths granted you different sidearms, each with their own unique performance, and it meaningfully affected the gameplay. As good as its contemporary RE titles? Nah. But I think it's a good time and stands on its own merits. I can't wait for your take on Dead Aim. That game is a guilty pleasure and brings back some really great memories. Cruise ship full of zombies to fight? Sign my ass up!

[@JayVGBND]

Right on the aim button! She accurately pointed out how this becomes a great game in the future. After the release of RE7 & VILLage, going back and replaying this title, you can really appreciate the risk and initiative CAPCOM took on making this game. I lived in the Philippines when this came out as Biohazard: Gun Surivor, the Japanese release before Code Veronica just 5 days right after and boy was it more scarier than your usual third person Classic RE game. The multi path selection of the game branching over pseudo changes in the scenario and overall story is nothing new thanks to Resident Evil 2’s 2 disc feature but it is welcome to fans of that game but as a fan of Resident Evil 2 we all know there’s only 1 absolute canon story. That goes the same with RE: Surviror. Reviews in that era are bombing the game due to the unconventional first person risk Capcom took and because players aren’t used to that system yet but relating this in the present really makes you appreciate that said initiative and risk. Thank you for shining a light off this game. It deserves more than what all of the classic tank control third person game era reviewers has given it.

As flawed as this game is, there is something about the atmosphere i really enjoy and always captivated me since i was a kid. I dont know if it was intentional, but the first person view along with the places you visit and the lack or music (though i did miss the dead bodies to add to the ambiance like in RE2 and 3) gives the game a very immersive and desolate feeling, almost like those retro indie horror walking simulators you can find on steam. I always thought it was an actual hood and underrated aspect of this game.

[@CaptainRasmot]

So just chippin' in a bit here, cause i do want to add a little *tiny* bit of information. When it comes to the controls of the game and how you pick up items and interact with things by just "running" into them, this is actually reminds me a lot of something like Quake. A lot of that was due to the nature of the "beast" that is Quake's engine, being that it was one of the first full (to an extent) 3D First Person Shooters, a lot of the resources for actually running the game had to go into map geometry, A.I, and some other bits n' bobs to get it working correctly. And mind you; Id had genuine quasi-dimensional timelord and quantum singularity based coding machine, *John Carmack* , to get things working. So they probably ran into a similar sort of situation here especially with the Guncon usability. So they decided to axe the "use" function for the game, along with probably a number of other functions, in order to get the damned thing to run. Now that is more conjecture on my part but it would make some sense especially if we're talking about the good ol' PSX era of games. I mean FF7 needed roughly what . . . 4 disks? So not too terribly surprising. Now when it comes to the Guncon controller and why the U.S never got it, part of it is in fact due to Columbine and another part is due to one fairly notorious senator. Joe Lieberman. Back at the time i think either Atari or Commodore had a Light Gun type controller that looked very much like a Revolver. Which brought in the "argument", that games were getting too violent and there was no need for gun-shaped controllers and all that sort of fuckin' nonsense. So it's more than likely that Konami saw both Columbine and the fallout after that and said "oh fuck" and pulled out of shipping the Guncons to the U.S. I mean it was to the point where Nintendo's own Light cannon was getting heavily scrutinized by said jackass so, pretty sure Konami noped the fuck outta that situation. Now this is just a bit of side information that may or may not have any relevance but i figured it needed to be said. So chew on it if you will ^ ^;
