I was REAAAAAALLY hoping they'd treat this one like final fantasy and save remakes, and what not for later, and I'd get to see RE2 (it was definately my favorite) in this one, but daaaaamn I'm so glad were getting a full retrpspective instead of that promo crap one they gave for degeneration ( which was a pretty damn good movie)

I've been playing the series since I was 5 and now looking back, since am a teenager, I remember how I would always get scared over the big and smallest things in the game.

He didn't even mention that REmake had an entirely new boss character, Lisa Trevors. That was a big addition to the game. There was a big chunk of added storyline explaining her origin, and several new scenes added just for her. She was far scarier than the T-001 Tyrant.

Played every single game of Resident Evil ( but didnt beat them all)!
I never thought i would say so about any title here at GT,
but this game-series is worth the word EPIC!
I only bought an Gamecube because they released RE0, RE1, RE2, RECV, RE3 and RE4 on it!
Nuts, i know ;)

CLASSIC GAMING!!! REmake for the Gamecube was the only reason why I bought my gamecube. It is probably the most beautiful game the console has seen, and for die hard fans it was a breath for fresh air... I still play the damn thing. I was really really hoping for a RE2 remake though.

Resident Evil launched back in '96, and it was the first Playstation game I ever played. Man I was 11 years old, this was a great Retrospective its great to see how this series really started out. I must have played through this game a dozen times and it was back before the days of the internet so nobody knew about unlocking the unlimited Rocket Launcher at the end unless you really beat under time. It looks old now but back then I went from an SNES right to PS1 and it blew all our minds, talking characters, CG/live action cutscenes, and that huge freakin snake. The GC remake was awesome to I was glad that it wasn't exactly the same and it added more content and it still looks good even by todays standards. Good stuff bring on the next RE-retro!

When I heard the The Resident Evil 1 remake was release at the end of the year on wii in Japan I got ice down my spine. I really hope they'll make it for US and EU too, because I loved the first game (but is the only RE I haven't completed) and I never got my hands on the GC version, and don't wanna pay like 150 for it on ebay.
The classic RE with zombies are the scariest. RE4 was not that scary. but still a great game whatsoever :)

The remake of RE1 on Game Cube is the path they should have continued to follow imo. I like RE4 but it doesn't feel the same as the originals. Its not really survival horror anymore.

I was waiting for this retrospective for some time now. Great job GT. Bringing back some fond memories of RE (when the game was still survival horror and not action thriller). I can't wait for the next retrospective.

I never got to play the games until the remake on the gc came out and I was completely blown away...I went and played the others, but for some reason they don't come close to the first one

hmmm - sweet memory.
this time ago RE was great....
sad that RE4 and RE5 dont have this charme and this scariness any more.
RE is much more an actiongame now

wahhhh... RE is the first serie that made almost everything perfect (except of RE5 ...not sure about this one)1-3 were wonderfull the remake was awesome and looked great. Then they were so crazy to make a third-person-shooter called RE4 Oo I was a little bit shocked... till i played it. RE4 was a new highlight without doubt.
And they always had this great saveroommusic ^^ i know you all love them :P
thats whats Sillent Hill never had ...unfortunatly =/

Cool Retrospective. Hope to see more this month. I played Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 but never played the first one because I'm not the biggest fan of the fixed camera and the prerendered backgrounds and it has the oldest graphics in the series and the remakes still have the fixed camera issue but it was a great starter of a awesome series.

Awesome retrospective! RE1 was a game that gives people nightmare when played at night... at least back in the day; however, RE4 was a good game, but not scary at all.
Jill in RE1 is hot! :p

Back then Resident Evil was soooo scary and great games. Now it's all about action and storylines that don't make any sense anymore.. :(
You can't call yourself a RE fan if you haven't played the original (and I don't mean the GC remake).
Bring back the story sweet gameplay, now!

Man, i don't give a fuck about that. I'm buying RE5 either way. RE4 was awesome! People saying that RE died after RE3 are just nagging. RE4 was for me the perfect game and i hope that RE5 has more of RE4 than RE1, 2 or 3 in it.

man i miss the old school resident evil, man they shoulda stuck with the original concept (. . . second original i guess i should say)with 4, poltergeists over parasites any day. meh all well, new RE is still bad ass, just different intimidation.

I'm tired of convincing my self that RE took the right direction! Every time I see or hear any thing RE2, I realize what made this franchise special. I'm still going to buy RE5, but I already know That I will never like the shoot 'em up style in the game (maybe I'll only like the boss fights). The real reason I'm buying it is for the story, since I'm a huge Resident Evil fan. I liked RE4, but the developers are westernizing the game too much!
What really grinds my gears is the lack of Parasite Eve or Dino Crisis for either PS3/360(excluding PE 3rd Birthday for PSP)!! I know Dino Crisis 3 sucked on XBOX, but come on!! Dinosaurs in space!!
Any way, nice retrospective :)

I remember my friend buying the first Resident Evil and getting all of us over. When it came to the master of unlocking things we all just looked at each other and laughed our heads off. But the game managed to transcend the crappy voice acting and was really scary.
I had the DS version and it's amazing to see how well it stands up 10 years on. Can't wait for the 2nd part of this Retrospective.

The best franchise ever made! My first experience was when i was 8-10 yrs old and i saw my big brother playing it on the PS1! Fucking amazing! I saw he playing it from start to finish! We were with a couple a friends too and played it over a weekend in a little house (our main house next to this house).
I have played every RE game since then and finished them. Except those
ailshooter games and Outbreak series because i dont think they are canon and doesn't bring anything to the story of Resident Evil.
So fucking sweet memories. I cant wait to RE5 being released!

Awsome work GT - keep it up! I was SO looking forward to this, since I saw your Metal Gear RETROSPECTIVE (which was great).
I´m realy a big fan of RE and I agree with those comments that RE now is not the RE we known and like. RE4 was awsome game(maybe one of the best I have played), but I was never scarred playing that game. Yes there were hard times (too much enemies, little time...) but NEVER, I was NEVER scared. The only thing was that I´ve had increased level of adrenalin in my blood, but I haven´t been scared.
To those who likes classic RE go and get yourself(or borrow from a friend) GameCube and RE:Remake. This is the best RE game ever! Who haven´t played wouldn´t understand. The only thing which bothers is B voice acting - too bad...
Looking forward new episode GT:)

I recall enjoying the original quite a bit(think I was 7 or 8 at the time) but the 2nd was by far a million times better and the 3rd is still my favorite even compared to 4. Cant wait for 5.

Can't wait for EP 02. This was a great watch. Just got off my PS3 playing the RE5 demo (while coincidentally wearing an RE shirt and Umbrella cap) and now I'm ready to go back to playing my GCN copy of RE. =)

I guess I'm one of the few people out there who never found the games scary, and instead just played them because I enjoyed the game as a whole. Still it's great retrospective (now all you whining f*ckers can shut up) and I'm looking to seeing more.

1-3 didn't have traditional zombies either. Just people who were infected with biological weapon. What's your point? And the fact that the old games just had slow moving enemies didn't make it scary. Like the retrospective said, they were just simple target practice.

What a great retrospective. Can't wait to see the other 5. Ever since this game came out I have been hooked on anything Resident Evil since. This game also made me love the classic musical score Moonlight Sonata.

Thank you GT for making a real retrospective instead of the plug retrospective that was the last video promoting Degeneration (yes I am aware it was meant to promote it however it does not excuse it from being a poor retrospective period.)
I look forward to the next part although I do have one question:
Wasn't the original name for S.T.A.R.S. special tactics and rescue Squad instead of Service??I still own my original copy of Resident Evil which said it was squad not service (yews I am aware this point is rather pointless so please excuse the level of nerdy nitpicking.)
All in all this was very well done and I fully enjoyied hearing Moonlight Sonata throughout the video.

Wasn't the original name for S.T.A.R.S. special tactics and rescue Squad instead of Service??I still own my original copy of Resident Evil which said it was squad not service (yews I am aware this point is rather pointless so please excuse the level of nerdy nitpicking.)
All in all this was very well done and I fully enjoyied hearing Moonlight Sonata throughout the video.
such a great series! this retro really brings back memories. Only played the DC PSX version. Like the first metal gear solid, wasn't very interested in the remake. Retro makes me hope theres more of those classic RE moments in RE5, hopefully they do some interesting things with the coop ie: puzzles, investigation, etc...

They finished that with the WoW closure. They essentially covered the entire 4 game series.

Stormshadow243 said: 1-3 didn't have traditional zombies either. Just people who were infected with biological weapon. What's your point? And the fact that the old games just had slow moving enemies didn't make it scary. Like the retrospective said, they were just simple target practice.
I disagree. Resident Evil 1 and 2 at least had traditional zombies... in the 'Return of the living dead' sense. Yes, they were infected with the virus, but they died and rose again. Also, they are rotting. So, yes, those are zombies. Not the traditional kind without explanation, but still, zombies.
Haven't played RE3, but RE4 did indeed change that to the more modern 'people with strange rabies' version of 28 days later etc.
I still find the classical, slow-moving and rotting zombies far more atmospheric.
Nice retrospective.

YES!!!! Finally a Resident Evil Retro. Thank You GT. Thank You. Now make a Super Mario Retrospective.
I also feel a very very disappointed that Capcom never made a PS2 version of the Remake of Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0. Ever since I first played the PS1 RE Trilogy (RE Survivor sucks and that's the truth) I got hooked so much that when the PS2 was released, It was the next console I bought hoping that the next RE will be released on the PS2. But We only get Code Veronica complete, Outbreak files, Dead Aim and RE4. We even get RE4 AFTER the GC version does. sigh... I was so envious of the GC version of RE and RE-0. Both graphics and story and acting was great. I just wish that Capcom will atleast make a PS2 version of RE and RE-0 as their last PS2 title of RE.
I also have to mention Konami's Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes from the GC is another worthy title that NEEDS to be made for the PS2.

I think this was really well edited and I'll look forward to the rest of the series. This game shit me up when I was younger and no game can manage that now (unless I go back and play Silent Hill again). 1 and 2 were easily the best in the series, I can't be arsed for them now.

Wait a second. Didn't they already make a RE retrospective?
And how come games like this get like a million episodes and other games who deserve more than any other just get one.
Life isn't fair...

This is what GT does best and I hope they continue to invest time and talent in producing programming like this. Can't wait to watch the next episodes - I'm not even much of a RE fan, but it's interesting and entertaining to have the franchise explained and documented.

Finaly!
Btw: Re4 and Re5 don't suck
This both Games are just no realy Re games.
I think Capcom choose the way of that gameplay for the general Gamers. Action,lots of enemys,lots of ammo...thats what the normal gamer wants today.I like both variants,but i wish they remake Resident evil 2 or 3,or make after Re5 a resident evil,with the old gameplaywise

Hmmm.. I thought they would've done a Street Fighter Retrospective, just because it's coming out sooner and might have a bigger following but then again, it's hard to make a retrospective when there's little to no story :P

I like R.E. and all, but it just seems so unfair that theres 6 remake/rerelease of the RE One, but their isnt a Re-Version of Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night [Im not counting the Saturn one]

Great job GT, this was very well presented. This is the retrospective I've been waiting for. Resident Evil is one of my all time favorite video game series (along with Final Fantasy, Mario & Zelda)

Wow, one of the greatest retrospectives I've seen from GT. Amazing Job GT.
This video contains two of my favorite things.... George A. Romero and his movies... and the Goof Troop game.

One of my FAVORITE retros so far. Cuz this game brings me back to the playstation days. I got PS1 cuz of this game. I will never forget playing this game in the dark when that dog scene happened and jumping out of my chain ROFL! I played this game to death, got all the enddings and the rocket launcher talked about in this.

They weren't dead. Not the majority of them. Most of the people were infected by rats who were carriers of the virus and contaminated the water supply. People drank the water, got the virus in their system and became infected. After Spencer Mansion blew up in the Arklay Mountains, the rats carried the virus into Raccoon City. Aside from the R.C.P.D and the U.B.C.U, almost everybody who was infected through drinking the contaminated water.

RE5 is just a third person shooter without scary monsters or zombies but the only thing that makes this new game good for the RE fans is the Co-op mode and the story...since u can actually fight wesker and the trailer showing Jill`s grave makes us yell WTF!!
the *nightmare* and *horror* part of resident evil is dissapearing thanks to the new style of games were action,explosions and big fucking guns is what the developers think gamers want
The question was...will the nightmare continue??
I say ...no

Lol... the old voice acting was so cool. I rebought the game for the DS just to hear those voices again since my PS1 game was unplayable due to scratches.
But the GAmecube remake is probably the best survival horror game ever made.

I agree with you man, the direction the series took now is not as good as they were before. Now, I'm almost pretty sure that the bird woman is Jill.

Notice that nearly all the old games in the intro have been reviewed by AVGN? so we all know how much they suck lol.
Miniviciao said: RESIDENT EVIL REMAKE IS GOD!!
Agreed, that game actually made me tense like no other, for some reason you really don't wanna die in the resident evil games. Of course we don't wanna die in any game but for resident evil it's a bit different lol. Never before in a game have I been so cautious of my ammo count, having to ration pistol bullets (4 or 5 per zombie) and then having to use the knife to finish them or fear running out of ammo completely.

Resident Evil is my fav game of all time. This is one of the few games that made me jump when i was playing it. I hope one day they remake resident Evil 2 the same way they did resident Evil 1, and make the controlls more smooth like current shooter games.

ok, I played a demo of RE5, just to see what the big deal is, and you know what, it's the most complicated controls I've ever had frustrated with, more frustrating than Mirror's Edge, I mean you stop, aim, shoot, pressing two buttons at once to shoot, and aiming with the left analog stick, not right, what kind of hell of control skeem is that?! I found different options of control skeems, but it still didn't just work with me.
Gawd, well just to tell you, I'm the guy who hates Capcom, glad I'm not renting this, just tried something, and still hate it. Eh, I know I'll get hate points or hate messages, whatever, but hey, just my own Opinion, and my reasons for hating Capcom, well let's just say they hurt another franchise I love. (Namco)

I've always been more of a Silent Hill fan, but i'm glad gametrailers do stuff like this just to give me an insight into the background of the story of, in this case, Resident Evil. I recently played Resi 4 and liked it quite a lot, so i cant wait to download the demo of Resi 5 to see how it plays.
P.S. can anyone tell me what the title of that music is, that starts playing at around 15m25s?

Use spell check once in a while...
Other than that, what does RE5 have to do with the original? Last I checked it was almost a completely different game...

Gametrailers should release all these Retrospectives on a dvd for anyone to download and watch on there PSP's and Ipods..I sure would love them on it..I'm sure everyone would buy into it..as these things will never appear again..and you need something to show your grandchildren...
great stuff..can't wait for part 2..

Resident Evil 1 & Tekken were the games which brought me to the Playstation brand more than 10 years ago.
I was at my local videogame store when they played Resident Evil 1 on Playstation 1 for the very first time. First of all, I've never seen a video animation in a videogame ever and it was the first cutscene of this game. I was blown away, I couldn't even imagine this was possible.
And then, the actual gameplay. The graphics and the whole idea behind this game, I couldn't believe this is an actual videogame. I went home, shivering in excitment from what I've seen this day. I looked at my Sega Megadrive and I know I had to sell it.
From this day, I knew I have to buy a Playstation console. I bought a used PSX from a guy at school which was barely working. It was all my money and it was loads of cash for me. The console only worked if you turn it upside down, but I was able to play RE1, that's all I needed. I will never forget that day when I took my new almost broken PSX to my friend's house and we all enjoyed the glory that was Resident Evil for the very first time.

Resident Evil 1 & Tekken were the games which brought me to the Playstation brand more than 10 years ago.

exactly what a retrospective should be. in depth, not lets skip over all the other previous games and their stories so we can focus on the most popular one.

user1176 said: this is a bit early dont they usually release these closer to the new upcoming game? not that im complaining
Resident Evil 2 and its remake, RE3, RE4 and countless more RE-titles (e.g. Codename Veronica or Outbreak) take a lot of time to cover.

I have been waiting years, YEARS for this retrospective. It was totally worth it. Resident evil is probably one of the few games that i would buy multiple times on different consoles. I owned RE1 on both the ps1 and gamecube. Bring on part 2.

love Resident Evil games playing them since 1998, I was scared sh**less to play Resident Evil 2 when I got to the sewer part, man I hated those spiders/tarantulas XD
wonder if they'll mention Resident Evil: Gaiden that was on GBC

Verry well done. I like how they talked about how Capcom made Sweet Home and the creator of Resident Evil made children games. Looks like some of the Gametrailers staff are huge Resident Evil fans.

After watching this, I had to compare Resident Evil and Silent hill once again. Don't know why, but I still prefer Silent Hill over the Resident Evil.
Resident Evil has definitely a better story, but the gameplay itself doesn't give me the same chills as Silent Hill's creepy streets or the alternative world. It has to be the atmosphere, which makes the difference.
Resident Evil is a great survival horror game, but Silent hill is, without a doubt, more scarier than that.

I'm made up that GT are doing a retrospective on Resident Evil. I love the games so much and it's a great look back on one of my favorite franchises. Very good job !

I'm I the only one who thinks that the demo for RE5 was horrible? Yes, it looks great but the controls are just plan lame! Your guy just stops when you are aming you gun! The infected run around corners like their in the olympics, but as soon as they get 6ft from you its like there walking in quicksand! I LOVE RE, Im not hating, I just cant understand the game play logic and everytime I turn around, its another reporter saying how great this game is going to be and how great the demo was! I'm I the only one???

Glad they finally came out with a true retrospective of RE. I remember when they had a
etrospective that was just an ad for the new movie or w/e.
I can't wait for the second part. RE2 is one of my favorite games of all time.

I totally agree that the controls suck major ass! seriously, I know its a survival horror game but the controls dont help you survive for crap! RE5 does look good though, just sucky gameplay.

Wow! It seems like it was just yesterday that I brought all of these RE games home, unwrapped the shrink wrap, and popped them into my PS1 for the first time!!
Man, I'm getting old :P

3rd person survival horror was not started from resident evil series fyi.
its funny how they show all the really old atari games but forgot the real influence that was Alone in the Dark from Infogrames and Call of Cthulu.
capcom almost rip the whole Alone in the Dark theme and gameplay and Resident Evil 1 was not even close to frightening as Alone in the Dark 1-3.

What a fine series this is. Got hooked ever since i played RE2 on the N64, then i had to go back and play the first one, haha. I had forgotten what Jill looked lik in RE1, or the actress who was used on her ID card anyways.

Too many people whining about RE5 nowadays.
First the racism, now the controls.

I love the Resident Evil games and have done since I started gaming. I am an owner of a PS3 and often wish they would bring out some kind of Mega Collection of all the games that came on PS1 and Gamecube, considering that Blu-ray as standard has 50GB to play with, and now a 200GB disk that's readable by the PS3, it seems do-able.
Anyways Cant wait for Episode 2.
Great Work GT nice retrospective.

The remake for Gamecube was visually stunning compared to the original. I remember being too scared to play the original RE at night in a room by myself, LOL.

ok, the racism thing i completely agree with. HOWEVER....
not that the controls are THAT frustrating, but if people find the controls frustrating then they are entirely allowed to bitch about it. If they didn't you wouldn't get good tweaks to the final product like being able to shoot and move at the same time (which i think is gonna still be weird to adapt too. it'll make it less of RE4 style 3PS, and more like a gears of war 3PS

I wasn't good at playing the RE games but I still loved the atmosphere while watching a friend playing. I felt like watching a good movie. Especially the second one.

Good to hear Brandon is still doing stuff, good retro can't wait for the rest. REmake was the Prime of the entire RE series in terms of Survival Horror, then RE4 screwed it up.

Jatycre said: He didn't even mention that REmake had an entirely new boss character, Lisa Trevors. That was a big addition to the game. There was a big chunk of added storyline explaining her origin, and several new scenes added just for her. She was far scarier than the T-001 Tyrant.
All in good time.

r5: ???????
Two of the best experiences I have ever had as a gamer were first playing the Original Resident Evil. Game was unique and fun and frightening. The other was Playing the GC version of RE years later. The remake was designed to screw with anyone that had played the first game and thought they therefore knew the layout of this one. That, and the incredible presentation was enough to recreate the same feelings I had playing RE on the PlayStation years earlier.
Really looking forward to seeing the rest of these as they count down to RE5.

FUCKING AMAZING....Man, I hope they continue to make this in chronological order of the story because I missed a lot of the other games and since then have been lost on the story of Resident Evil. I really want to know the FULL history before I buy RE5...

A great retrospective reminding real fans what capcom was capable of doing... The making of RE4 murdered Survival Horror and introduced the bastard known as Action survival....
But thats what we call 'evolvement' right?

This is so cool, I never got the chance to play a lot of the RE games.
I'm hoping to pick up RE 1 0 for the gamecube (cause I won't be getting my PS3 until August so no RE5 for now lol) So I wanna see What GT have to say about RE 0.
Awesome vid.

I remember playing RE on the Playstation and being stunned with the atmosphere it created, it was very intense, you really felt struggling for your life.

Just in time for RE 5. I was hoping they were going to show the entire incredibly bad but awesome live opening cut-scene from Resident Evil, but oh well. I just remember when I first bought RE back on the PS in the old cardboard DVD style case and popped it in, I was completely surpirsed, stunned, and scared at how amazing it was. Too bad the opening cut-scene didn't stand the test of time, but man does it make for a good laugh. JOESEEEEEEEEEPPPPHHHHHHH

Looks like I jumped on the bandwaggon a little late! I started with Resident Evil 2, but was too young to get very far, and by the time I matured a little I bought Resident Evil 3 (that would have made me 11 years old at the time!).
It's too bad the remake was made for the GC, because I definitely would have bought it for PS2.

Man I've been waiting for this retrospective, I could see it coming with RE 5 almost here and all.
Man such nostalgia, I can remember when one of my friends just bought a used playstation and didn't really have much money left, he found a copy of Directors cut in a bargain bin for $5. Then I always think back to how that night we and 3 other friends about 5-6 people in all, all crowded into his tiny room turned the lights off and just watched him play, all of us on edge for hours.
Then I can also remember the first time I played the GC version and how freaked out I was by the first zombie encounter and how they turned somthing that had always been funny before into the scariest looking thing I'd ever seen in a game.

I love this retrospective!!! But why not HD? :( I remember the 1st time I played it (on the PC) and I saw that cutscene if freaked me out! I enjoyed that game so much that I completely memorized it, my last playthrough was done in 1:25' with no first aid sprays used and just 1 save before final Tyrant.

Oh god, I knew they would have to say something about the voice acting. It was AWFUL! But I have to admit, the Jill sandwich line is gold and is probably worthy of going into the video game catchphrase hall of fame.

Remember when horror games were scary, apperently Capcom forgot that when making RE5.
Also GT why didn't you talk about Lisa Trevor or the Crimson Heads in the Gamecube remake?

This one seems much more in-depth examining each game as an individual experience, explaining it's significance (or lack of), and it's placement in the Re timeline.
Much better then lumping the games together.

You know finding yourself in a mansion full of zombies you'd think you could get something like a hand gun or maybe even a combat knife but no.
You get a lockpick.
My first thought was is there an option to stick that lockpick in Chris' eye?

Awesome Retrospecitve, been looking forward to this for some time...the only thing I've ever wondered was why did they change the name from Biohazzard to Resident Evil (which does sound cooler)...was it a translation error

Kudos to GT for having both style and substance in this retro
I seriously need my hands on that GCube RE1. That thing must OWN the original
And I still laugh my ass off seeing Wesker wearing sunglasses in the dead of night

woah, the shot comparing GC's graphics with the original by having the PS1 character model show up in the mirror blew my mind! Great retrospective, such a brilliant game

I played the demo and here's my opinion:
The support charictar is a pain in the ass, and I can't kill her!
It's not scary one reason is because it's bright and sunny out.
And when you die you should go to a save point or at least a checkpoint, not have the other help you up.

That was more or less an advertisement for the movie. This is the full on retro that they hinted at the end of the other one.

No u! ahaha if you were an actual fan of RE then you would know what he is talking about. RE5 will be a fun game, but will it be as scary as it used to be? No way in hell. I still get nightmares from that shit.

Much better than that last Re: Degeneration Promo you called a RE retrostpective you released last time. One Prob. The GBC Resident Evil game was released in English even. Just not in the US IT got a PAL release. I bought it used from a Hastings in Richmond Indiana. It was a piece of crap but i owned it just to say i owned it. The classical Music at the end is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Its a reference to one of the puzzles in RE1 where you have to play that to to open a secret room

god I wish I had never sold my GC. I'm dying to play the remake agian. kinda wondering why they didn't start the retrospective with RE0 but I guess they're going by release order or something.

About time they made new Retrospective, I has wondering if they were going to continue them or not. Obviously they were just working extra hard on this one! ;)

I think GT used Wikipedia to make this. If you look at the Resident Evil Wiki page it's almost exactly how they described the game. Still love the game though. = )

Ahhh the first game that started the endless nightmare. I remember that game..couldn't even beat it because of the controls. But now...everything else is...is....*sees a zombe and pulls out a shot gun* DIE YOU F#$%ING BASTERD

this was actually really good. i loved the first three resident evil games. i liked RE4, and i'm probably gonna like 5, but they are not as scary as the first three. also, on nemesis, when that ass appears out of nowhere, and all you can do is run.... that was horrible.

iram84mx said: i agree with FloOFy, RE4 and 5 look good, play good, but they dont are scary anymore.
Its because we've adapted to its Horror. We know what we're going to get, so half the scare is already gone. (The other half being that 'pop-out' scare)
Its the same thing with humor. I use to laugh so hard I pissed my pants when I watched the first few AVGN videos. But now...eh, maybe 1 laugh per episode?
But RE5 will still be kick ass. More action then horror, but thats enough for me!

Can't wait to see Episode 2 because Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Nemesis are my two favorite games of all time. I'm a bit disappointed that they are sandwiching both games in the same episode.

It'd be dope if you did one on the movies and how they tie into the games because I really don't want to watch the movies and I think I may have actually watched one once, but I've tried to make myself forget that horrid film.
Good show though. Nice production.

I remember getting stuck with the opening the book riddle... And getting Barry's bad ending when he dies if you don't click the wall of the wall made by the snake monster in a checkered piano room. I love this series makes you want to know & play every story relating to an Umbrella Virus.

I love the silent hill series... But I was a little dissapointed with Homecoming. I am happy i went threw the whole thing to be ready for the next. Not really any replay value. I wish I have had Mercy on my Mom since I Forgave my dad to get the GOOD ENDING. I received the Hospital ending. I saved over those sections of the game.

Finally a proper RE retrospective! - I believe that GT realized that they fucked up pretty bad in previous, so called
etrospective, what was an movie ad in reality.

Ah! So now we know what Brandon was up to these past few days.
I was never into any of the RE games myself, but my little brother played RE1 and RE2 to death.

Ive been hoping for a RE Retrospective
since i saw both FF Retrospective and
MG Retrospective!
IMO
Th first RE games
where the greates ones.
Dont get me wrong
the others like RE4 and soon to come RE5
are great too
but games like RE Remake and RE 0
bring the Old Fashioned Horror
to be ultimately Refined.

Back to the game:
I remember the first time I played Resident Evil. Scared the bejesus out of me. Even the corny FMV intro got me spooked. Oh how I miss the original Playstation.

I don't think that's the reason. I think it's just becuase the game is styled so much differently. I think with the original games, the camera angles made it easy to set up suspense. You would never know what was around the corner and some cameras were just set up in a creepy way. Being able to control the camera wipes out all of the tension.

I agree walking down a hall while keeping an eye on a door and the zombies busting through the burning wall is much scarier...plus the footsteps and moans off camera were hella scary.

This gives me goosebumps watching this again! I loved everything about it, the claustrophic environments, the limited ammo, the tension you could cut with a knife, and even the puzzles and backtracking! Oh how i wish they would make a new Resident Evil that wasn't an action shoot 'em up.
Not to mention the story, which had so many little things that you could follow if you really dug into the games. Love them soooo much! The new ones are good don't get me wrong...but I do miss them!

Without a doubt one of the best Video Game Franchises of all time. No doubt in my mind it's up there with the Metal Gear Solid's, Final Fantasies, and God of War games.

and I just love this series. cant wait to see RE2, the best of all. the feeling of desolation, the hole city dying, the deadly silence at strategical parts, the best villain of all series, the best plot, G-virus, and yes the rookie dumbass leon was way better then the secret agent one.

Man I fuckin' love these GT Retrospectives! They are so incredibly comprehensive and detailed! The production of them is just amazing, from the video and music editing, right down to the narrative. Every retrospective they've done has been grade A!
I never liked Resident Evil until I played RE4. The controls in the older games were too cumbersome, but i still respect them though and see why people loved them

As usual, GT delivers a top notch retrospective. RE is one of gaming's legendary franchises, its about damn time it's getting the recognition it deserves.

I played, loved and fully completed Resident Evil for the DS , both modes. It was the first time I ever played the game myself, I had no real prior history with the series. I got the GC version thinking that it would just be a higher graphical version of the same game with new bits added. I was very shocked and in many ways scared and disappointed in that regard. The zombies were MUCH harder to take down, they had to be burned or their heads blown off before they went flat on the floor otherwise they'd get right back up later and more frightning. It emphasized completely avoiding the zombies instead of fighting them which made playing the game for me a complete pain. Then finally one of the zombies escaped my burnination, got up and wandered around the mansion. It then apparently suddenly appeared when the normally dead silent game suddenly did a VERY high pitch almost violin tone followed by drum bass, scared the ever living hell out of me, I run into the closet and I never went back out. It's a COMPLETELY different game from what was originally released for the PS and the re-release on the DS and I didn't like it :/.

cos they are some what connected, and they take place in more or less the same time period
who i never knew capcom/resident evil created the survival horror series thats kinda cool... bet back in the day no one would have guess it would be capcom with all their megaman and other series lol

Man, incredible work GT. This could be my favourite Retrospective to date. Really well done. My only complaint is there should have been a few more of those classic voice overs. :P
Barry: There MUST be a backdoor somewhere! Let's try to find IT first, shall we?
Jill: Okay! Let's separate again--
Barry: -- JUST A MOMENT! I found something!
-awkward silence-
Jill: . . . what is it?
Barry: It's a WEAPON! It's REAAAALLY powerful! ESPECIALLY AGAINST LIVING THINGS! Better take it with you!
Jill: What about you, Barry?
Barry: IIIII HAVE THISSSS! /whips out magnum
Best RE moment, ever. Barry was hilarious.

That would be bad ass.
I never did play the original RE but the remake on GC was amazing. They captured the creepy feeling perfectly. I just miss the static camera, I think that really made the earlier games have an altogether scarier atmosphere.

Somebody start a Wii petition to do a RE2 remake for us to make up for not giving us RE5.Kinda strange that Capcom isnt doing a scaled down Wii version of RE5 considering that RE4 has sold close to 2 mill. on Wii.Wheres the business sense?

I find it great that pretty much ALL the games that they brought up about horror were done on AVGN lol oh what would he have to say about these choices XD

GT, good job on the retrospective so far. I hope you have some footage or character art for RE 1.5 in one of your videos for the retrospective, that would be really cool.
I really enjoyed Resident Evil, it scared the crap out of me and my friends and Resident Evil 2 on Dreamcast is still my favourite, after all these years. Can't wait to see more of the retrospective!

i played the first RE/Biohazard with my bro when i was a kid, and holy shiet it was intense as ever. It definitely set the standard for horror games. Then ever since i played all RE games. I could never believe they can tie in the story from the first to the fifth sequel of the game... VERY IMPRESSIVE STUFF. Keep it up GT u bring back memories from my childhood. =D

SSTARRRRS. I was 11 years old back then, when i play my first resident evil game, in fact my first mature game was resident evil 3; i remember that i couldnt sleep because i thought Nemesis was beyond my window, he scared me so bad, then i play the another 2 games and they were just AWESOME, then i become a resident evil fan, i bought figures, the directors cut RE edition, T-shirts, etc. I love that franchise; but anyway
Nemesis is the best boss in a videogame ever IMO, im waiting for retrospective part 2.

Can't wait to watch the second retrospective. RE2, to me, is the best of the original RE gameplay series. It's the reason I got into Zombie horror movies, books, and games. In fact it was my first game on the Playstation 1. Such good memories playing it.

I gotta say, I never got a chance to play the original RE, but my friend and I rented the 2002 GC remake, and to this day that has got to be the scariest game I've ever played hands down (not too mention still one of the most gorgeous games on any system!) The dogs jumping through the windows was just the tip of the iceberg in that game... they were nothing compared to the Crimson Zombies... if you didn't blow the regular zombies' heads off or burn their bodies with the lighter, they came back to life later on and charged at you like the zombie swarm in L4D!
But man, nothing could prepare us for our first encounter with Lisa Trevor! *shudders* If you don't know what I'm talking about, turn off all the lights and YouTube that shit! Oh, and be prepared to stay up all night with the lights on haha!
Great retrospective! (and just in time too haha!)

watching this makes me sad that the resident evil series is no longer about survival horror, puzzles, and mystery. RE5 is all about big guns, lots of ammo, and shooting everything in site.
But thanks GT you guys did a great job.

Moonlight sonata. Yeh the first resident evil was most defiently the scarriest, but just because RE has changed to the big guns and lots of ammo doesn't mean it's become less fun. I like the feeling of being out numbered and cornered with only a pistol (knowing there's no way i'd make it out alive in the new games)

I love the RE1 remake. It is the only scary RE game out of the whole series. It added a whole new dimension to it that made it more scary, fun and challenging with new special crimson zombies after you kill the normal ones. They rise up after you leave them dead n uncremated with gasoline after 15 min has passed lol scared the fuck out of me when it rised up like a ghost n started running n clawing me. The atmosphere and soundtrack has changed too to make it even more scary. plus the camera angles changed also to make it more nerve racking. The extra parts is nice to play and seem to fit well without being something just thrown in together that felt unnecessary. The extra modes are nice addition for replay values. Especially the suicide zombie and having the item chest become a real one where items dont transfer lol by far the best RE and survival horror game.
Also the graphics of the remake is also holding up well even by today's standard. plus goodthing is no short pause for loading new screen

Resident Evi Is God itself.Too bad RE5 doesn't hold that survival horror theme anymore. Capcom should make a game call Bio or Resident Evil Reborn. That should be the bomb. If i could make games i would. RE games take like 2-4 years to make though.

lol re 1 was the first game were the german synchro was better than the english one...i often play games not in my motherlanguage because the synchro is often horrible but with re i was surprised as i played it. btw the graphics from the remake are better than the ones from some ps3 games

oh man neither can i! RE2 is still the best RE i ever played. i remember at first i had no idea what the game was all about until my friend let me borrow it. as soon as i started playing, i died in a instant. the tank controls were so new to me that i kept running into zombies. as soon as i got down the controls. MAN, what a effing journey RE2 was! plus, going back to play the B story for either leon and claire which added my first time as reasonable replay value. i expected the B story was going to be the same as the A story...or so i thought. good shyt GT! love these retros.

Resident Evil 4 and 5 was a great shooter or action game but it wasn't a great survival horror.... The best Resident Evil games was remake, re 2 and re 3 and I want a the nesxt Resident Evil game to be like the old time RE... with rendered 2D location... just like remake for Game Cube... I dream about the remake of Resident Evil 2 for PS3 or X360 with HD graphics... :)

I Also dream with the RE-make of the R.E. for PS3...I know is probably a dead dream but im sure it would make a diference if we put this new technology in good use and re-make only the worthy games from the past that gave us a scare in the past and can give us a totally new scare today. Just dont make the mistake Silent Hill made...All the good graphic was just used to pretty dress the game and forgot to use it to actually scare us...there was no horror feeling ....be right back!!!

R.E. Zero was plain awesome. That's how a remake has to be. And i totally forgot how bad the voice acting was in the original... great retrospective as usual. Looking forward to the others.

It's funny because I just recently finished playing RE for the original Playstation. I liked the addition of the original night of the living dead film footage in the beginning.
i think I heard that the PSN store had the original RE available, unless that is new within 02.03.09 - 02.05.09 that's news to me. unless like I have been suspecting for a while Canada is getting shafted on the PSN store again.

I have to be honest. When I was buying video games in the mid and late 90's, games like this didn't appeal to me. I was turned away from RE and every game that had a shock/horror look just because of the scary images and gory themes.
But now that I'm older, I am intrigued by the stories behind these games. The horror themes still persist, but I see them more as plot elements. So, I have slowly, but surely come around to like RE, Silent Hill, and others like that.

I remember I played RE on Playstation I was so young so i had two pairs of pants and underpants just in case.
All of the RE games are fantastic, and it seems Capcom wont fail in RE5 aither.
*breath easy* What great memorys this gives me.

Awesome retrospective. All versions of RE seemed well done. I may have missed RE in the past, but these retrospectives make me want to play all of them.

I hope Capcom goes back to actual zombies (dead people, not living people with a parasite on them)
I want to see Jill Valentine again, hopefully along side Leon since I don't think they've met. I hate Chris

i have played every resident evil game that has come out except this first one. that is one of the regrets that i have. i had a ps one but never got the chance to play it. resident evil 3 was my favorite RS game in ps one...

Omg, AWESOME! I remember the experiences now! scared to death! I was just 8 when i tried this game and i was dying. I couldn't sleep in 10 days ! It totally destroyed my sleep. The sickest part were i borrowed it from a classmate at that time. Omg, i couldn't believe he had this! seriously GT IS AWESOME, Thanks for this!

I like that this retrospective include the infamous smoking scene, which was a drum well beaten back in the day. Evidently the idea of having a character light a smoke in a videogame was worse than watching a supporting character get their throat ripped out by the undead.
While the retrospective didn't directly mention this controversy, I for one appreciate the clips being thrown in for those of us who remember it. I'm really looking forward to part 2.

somehow I knew this would be the next retrospective. with RE5 coming out and a good history it's a worthy addition to the retrospective lineup. can't wait to see the next video.

Thank you very much GT. In my opinion, this game/series is the best ever made. Now I am eagerly awaiting more episodes of this retrospective, as well has the game of the decade in RE5. Thanks again! lol

Great series. The only thing I hate about this series is that ammos are too scarce. RE5 demo is a deathtrap. But I understand that managing the supplies is the point of surviving hordes of zombies. I hope they put easy or very easy mode in RE5 for a casual player like me to enjoy.
LOL Most of those earlier horror games were on AVGN vids. Horror games need decent visuals and audios to control the atmosphere. It's almost impossible for the games back in NES or Atari days to pull it off. Well...at least they tried.
Great vid. Waiting for part 2.
Great series. The only thing I hate about this series is that ammos are too scarce. RE5 demo is a deathtrap. But I understand that managing the supplies is the point of surviving hordes of zombies. I hope they put easy or very easy mode in RE5 for a casual player like me to enjoy.

I totally agree, Resident Evil 2 has that magic thing that makes it immortal, I still have happy (though scary) memories for back when I used to play it over and over....never get tired.

What's the point? It's all SD content - there's no need to waste bandwidth for NES and PS1 material in HD.

I was expecting this retro, sooner or later. Gametrailers publish these retrospectives a few weeks before the next big release, of any given respective franchise. It was the same for Metroid, for Star Wars, and for Metal Gear. Nevertheless, it is a commendable footage and I am hoping for more in the future. By the way, how about a Mario, or a Megaman, or a Tales retro ?

Don't get used to HD retros... the content of all of these games is SD (as will be with most retrospective since, well, we're looking back at the days before HD.
Brandon is sorta going for the old school low budget horror flick vibe with this one. We all remember those films for their VHS look. SD fits this retro well.
The Warcraft Retro is HD because:
1. Most of the games can be set to run in HD.
2. The art is gorgeous and looks great in high def.
3. I made all the graphics 1080p. ^_^

Back then, i use to be scared as hell to play resident evi gamesl. I would have nightmares about getting eating up by zombies,man! the game was just crazy! But now, i could play them with no problem.re4 wasn't scary at all because there wasn't any zombies! i guest that all the games like, dead rising, left 4 dead, house of the dead, and call of duty bringing zombies to there genre, capcom decieded to try something new. The controls are great but, just please bring back the zombies! Thats what made resident evil so great.

I always like playing the resident evil games. But res4 and 5 don't have the fear feeling anymore only just survival. Anyways they are still fun though.

That was a great retrospective. This is easily becoming one of my favorites that they done.
I remember the Dualshock version of RE1 was my first taste and it scared me. Hearing about the total revamp on GCN, I thought it would be fairly similar. When I played it, I was scared all over again.
Now RE4 wasn't that scary to me. It was more actiony, and I didn't like the fact that it really didn't have much to do anything. At least as far as I know until I play RE5. I'm excited for RE5 because of the continuing story of Wesker. Wesker is one of my all time favorite antagonists.
Looking forward to the next installment!

Wow. This is actually quite good, they even talked about Sweet Home, where the idea for RE came from. Well done! There is much more to the story that this, and even if they make a the 6 episodes, I don't think they will be able to cover all of RE's vast storyline. These videos are more of a recap on the gameplay, not the actually story... :( And you CAN skip Plant 42... Oh well. Man, I love these games!!
YAY The RE-Make!!! :) Love every RE game, I LOVE this series!! :3 (but not RE: Gaiden. HAH! XD)
And for the record, I want to play the eyeball labyrinth game XD

I Agree! People need to realise this. But not in RE5, would not work at all in the next gen market...

Resident Evil, oh man. I never touched that game ever again after I played it when I was younger. I remember when my folks went out and my babysitter brought over his Playstation with the first game. You wont believe the nightmares I had after playing that game. Though I have grown older... I still wont play that game XD

Aww don't feel like that, now that your older, you can play the game without being scared like when you were younger I assure you. I felt the EXACT same way when I was younger, my dad got me the Directors Cut with the scary face on the back and I couldn't even look at it without getting scared. I was not living in the States at the time so I had NO idea as to what was in store for me as I popped in that game.

Resident Evil is one of the best series of games ever in my mind. I'm happy that it finally got a retrospective. I know that the whole idea for the game was based on Sweet Home and Alone in the Dark, but Resident Evil put survival horror games on the map. You can't argue with that.

I have been waiting for an RE retrospective for a while now considering how many RE games have been made, and how many different characters there are that overlap into multiple games. Also all the history and story behind Umbrella and its labs around the world, as well as Raccoon City.
Unfortunately they barely touched on the story in this retrospective.

i really like the gameplay of the first games...
the no hud, the ank controls, the cinematografic camera...it really feels like playing a movie...
The third one is the best one for me! RE4 is awsome, but is more of a action game than a survivel horror!

Wow, I don't remember most of those enemies. I think I recall the bees, and certainly the snake, but the hunters were in the first game? And when do you fight a giant spider?
By god, how many remakes were there?

I love retrospectives!
And, this also goes to show how much this series has changed... =/
How hard can it be to keep the RE4 gameplay in tact, while maintaining the horror elements of RE1 and 2?
Since I love RE no matter what, RE5 isn't even a question, I'm definitely buying it, it's just that I'm afraid it will fall short of my expectations.

Boy! do i miss those good old zombies. I wish they kept them in the re series. don't get me wrong tho, the infected are cool too but still. i wish they brought the zombies back, or at least mixed em up. like some sort of zombie vs infected vs re characters. wow i just thought of that now. not a bad idea huh. and as for the retrospective, good work. i'm looking foward to more.

i remember the first time i saw a resident evil title in action. i had heard of it but didn't know what it was. my cousin brought resident evil 2 with him to a family get together and i came in on the part just when he had his first encounter with a licker in the police station. it was one of the creepiest things i had ever seen in a video game at the time. ahhh nostalgia. great games.

Thanx god they didn't keep that fake retrospective that advertises the degeneration movie. I can't wait for the next one.
They should made a Retrospective for the Castlevania series. It should be at least 8 parts long. They probably made it when Konami desides to make a proper 3D Castlevania.

there was something far worse than the voices: wesker's hair in the intro movie!
if you've seen the colored version, you know what i'm talking about.
it's just ridiculous!

I still see Resident Evil 2 as the best game in the series. Me and a mate beat that game into submission a shitload of times. One time we opted to not fire a single shot except when it was mandatory(boss fights). Managed to beat the game that way too :D
Resident Evil 4 didn't awe me as much as the second game did. I can see the new generation of gamers like number 4 the best, but me, who grew up with 8-bit gaming, prefer the PS1 classic.

I hear that, 2 was the ultimate classic. They could very easily do a remake of 2 with the over the shoulder camera angle and still keep it survival horror instead of run and gun. All they need to do is make head shots a one hit kill but add more enemies, maybe even make them faster.
They could even make an achievement/trophy called you gotta be nuts where you knife a zombie in the balls 500 times (not on the same zombie).

REmake is not only scary, but it's the hardest resident evil game to date (RE5 may take that cake if the demo's difficulty is any hint of the future). Dealing with the ammo constraints, Undead that will haunt you even after downing them once, and then dealing with the likes of Lisa Trevor is more than enough to cause even the most seasoned players to run in terror.
Nice review of the first game (and it's remakes) in this installment, as well as some background before going into the realm of our survival horror classic.
Don't let me down on the rest of the Retrospective GT. Your doing great so far

Cool video and finally a new retrospective.
Jill's actress for the original RE was hot!
RE 1 was great and it started a great franchise but the second one was even better. The story and the atmosphere were better (told) and RE 3 wasn 't bad either. That are the sequels I want to see today!!
Just imagine another RE with prerendered graphics, it would look phenomenal! The newer REs lost so much on atmosphere...

You know what I kinda agree I loved RE3 because of the ammunition creation mechanics, there were some kinda cool new monsters and the Nemesis added an extra layer of fear.
Still my favorites is RE4 and REmake and RE3 comes in a close third position to me.

I wish they covered the AWESOMENESS that is REmake a little more in this retrospective. It's the scariest and hardest of the RE games to date and is infinitely better than the original. It deserves major props.

Thank God!!! it was about time they came up with a true Retrospective and not that Advertisement disguised as a Retrospective. Love the series and hope this is a long Retro, not like the one they did about Silent hill btw, why is it so god damm short?, Silent Hill deserves a better and longer Retro

Wow.Resident Evil.What an incredible series.What an innovative, mind blowing series this is.I just got done watching Degeneration, one HELL of a great movie, the REAL RE movie, and stumbled upon this retrospective, to find an amazing flashback to the beginning of it all.I'm just stunned.I played it way back when on the PS1...to think we found that scary back in the day eh?Haha.But it was different, it was a different type of game with so many different ways to scare the crap out of us.A true classic, and one of the best series of all time.
Oh BTW, REmake is the first game i KNEW i needed to buy a Gamecube for.It's pretty obvious why that is.It's one of the best gaming experiences out there.If you haven't played REmake, you haven't played the older type of RE at it's finest.So i suggest you do so, on your Wii or what-have-you.

Nice episode. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the set. I've been a huge RE fan ever since it came out. I do have to agree with that jcallecg said about the Silent Hill games. I thought they got a raw deal, same with the AD&D; retrospective.
But anyway, I thought this was really cool. Can't wait to see the next one.

Great retrospective. Can't wait for another installment in both the game and in terms of episodes.
The REmake still looks great today and can still scare the bejesus out of you!

Gametrailers makes really good vids. This was awesome. By the way how can there be a resident evil without the master of unlocking dialogue. What up with that?!

Awesome use of Moonlight Sonata right at the end, making it feel like this was just the beginning.
Resident Evil was such a great change in gaming, having to rethink every move rather than just go blazing in guns firing. And Yawn (The snake), what an absolute pain in the ass!
So many memories, and like most of the series, it isn't a game I tire of playing, despite it's graphics having aged considerably.
Thankyou Resident Evil for turning my gaming world upside down!
And thankyou GT, I've been waiting for this since RE5 was announced! Looking forward to seeing the episode with the non-canon entries (RE: Gaiden, Survivor & Outbreak). They weren't the best games, but the stories were quite interesting.

I liked the series so far, but I had wished that they would remake these games in the style of RE4 for the Wii. Sadly they failed to deliver that experience in the Wiimake of the first RE - using the remote as only a gimmick, and releasing it onlt to Japan.

I remember trying to play the original and giving up after the terrible opening video and the first room. After watching this, I really wanna pick up RE:Zero. I was able to find a Wavebird controller, but the game is apparently quite hard to get your hands on.

Being a huge fan since the release of this game back in '96, this brought warm and fuzzy memories; counting down to March the 13th to rip it up in Africa Redfield-style!

classic game I had it for the palystation version when it first came out! also part2 and 3..Now I got them all on gamecube, and thats the reason why I haven't got rid off my gamecube because of this game! they should remaster them all and make them on the 360 or playstation 3 version.

You called Alpha team Bravo again. Right after mentioning that Joseph was attacked by the dogs. At about 4:42.
Otherwise, great review. I love Resident Evil.

actually u do, because dumbass like u that never play the originals thinks that the new ones are amazing even though it has little to do with any of the past ones. and if people like u had played the first ones, u wouldn't complain about the controls.
to be honest gamers nowadays are too stupid to play the old ones.
today the games are so simple and forward,there's no way u can't beat it.

Indeed , there is no game around that took me more than 6 to 8 hours these past years ... Exept some Specialty title like MGS4 and Disgaia ... But still ... Too much crap these days and game that are rated MATURE are made so youngling of 8year old can beat them... Seriously , You think paying 80$ for a game that last 4hours and has no multi-player mods is cool ? I really hope that Quality will come b4 quantity someday ... OLD GAMES ROCKS ! Try to beat Street Fighter 2 ans Mega-man 2 at hardest difficulty for a start , then you can call you a Game expert ;0)Peace out ! JeanSilva i totaly agree with you! Plus 7 !

I have completed the original game several times gaining a completion time of 1 hour but I have yet to finish the remake; it is far too scary.
The remake on the Nintendo Gamecube has some fantastic visuals and despite using pre-rendered backgrounds I believe it is the best looking game from the last generation of consoles.

I miss the old games. You know, back when the series was legitimately survival horror and scary.
Even though I'd beaten the original game several times, the Game Cube remake still managed to scare the crap out of me. Especially the new areas like the locked doors behind the stair case; the wailing of Lisa Trevor (didn't know WTF it was at the time) spooked me to no end.
It'd be great if they could go back to the basics. RE 4 ruined the series for me when they made money and items drop from enemies and included a shop. It's not survival horror when you can't run out of ammo (unless you're stupid or have incredibly bad aim)

Hey Malacite im with you... even though RE4 was one of the best games ever.. It wasn't a real RE game,, and it made me question my Resident Evil loyalty, but i did enjoy it and as long as the story line, characters, and basic game play structure stay the same i'll be happy.
Can't wait for RE5 but nothing will ever replace the OG's. Since the hype of 5 and Gametrailers doing an awesome retrospective, i've picked up the original Resident Evil and im playing through it for like the millionth time.

Hell, I still retain an original CD ROM copy of Resident Evil:Survivor for my PlayStation1 after all these years!! Ark Thompson has gotta get mentioned within future RE Retrospectives!!.... yeah, not a lot of gamers actually LIKED RE:Survivor, yet Capcom's RE spin-off(and very first FPS-take on the Resident Evil/BioHazard mythos, albeit even though Survivor is merely a side-story of sorts)still has a soft-spot in my gaming-heart! The voice acting within Resident Evil:Survivor/BioHazard:G Suvivor is definitely trademarked-Capcom gruesomeness with a hint of B-movie awesomeness!!
A spectacular 1st RE-Retrospective.... Hunk FTW!!

I haven't played the original RE a whole lot, but I do recall it had a lot of great eerie settings especially the GC remake. GT did a good job on this compilation video of the debut game of the RE series.

There was another survivor horror game that predates Resident Evil. It was called 'D.'
D's Shokutaku(Dinner Table)
I have the remake, it's a lot harder.

I love the RE games so much, just hearing the sound of the save typewriter at the beginning of this video brought back so much nostalgia. Cannot wait to play RE 5.

Honestly in the top 5 games ever made.
RES 1 that is.
Just amazing.
I love the creepyness of having no music in it either except for the ticking of a clock or something.
Going to play through all of them this week :D

Played the GCN version so much you have no idea, if there'd be achivements for this game i'd have them all :p
I finished the game under 2 hours on invisible zombie mode without the infinite ammo grenade luncher :p
Remember to always keep the door that breaks open for when you come back from the outhouse too, very important if you don't want to run around the entire house and reclear the entire place refilled with zombies :)

Two words: PURE AWESOMENESS!!!! Eventhough RE wasn´t the originator of survival horror, it certainly was the game (RE2, that is) that made me buy a PS.

Resident Evil Remake made both Barry & Jill's story seem weak compare to the older PlayStation one games.Jill was a lot Stronger in Resident Evil Three Nemesis even Barry show up at the end of that game.Barry had two daughters they where move right after the Madison incident.Then he came back for Jill but also pick up Carlos...UBS guy who save Jill ass...

i really love the writing in these retrospectives. sooo much info too. i didn't know pc version was the only version to have colored scenes and also didn't know there was a ds port of resiedent evil 1. if that's available in the west, i think i'll have to try to get that.
such a revolutionary series for sure, especially for its time. and damn, resisdent evil remake on the gamecube looks amazing graphically.

One of the best games ever made! Scared the shit out of me the first time i played it. The remake is amazing. One of the best looking games on the gamecube.

Hmmm maybe I should play it some time, I want to play Sweet Home personally. I get scared psychologically really easily, not to the point where I scream, but where it disturbs my mind, so I still wonder. Apparently the GC is good too right?

GC version is a remake. IMO It's longer, harder and funnier. I dont care about the grapphics but if you do - they're fantastic!

First of all I don't now how you can say that! Also 3-6 hrs, bah! It took me 8hrs, 42 min, and 16 seconds (I think) to compete it my first time but I think its because the timer includes the time when you pause & plus I was using the walkthrough.

The best Survival Horror game is my precious Biohazard.
But in some where, some way...
... lose the Survival Horror efect.
Now, Resident Evil is more dead than alive, but maybe the new Action in game for the news times will be best when our look back for all the glorius and very best moment pased in the PS1, or the Dreamcast.
Es mi humilde opinion como usuario y amante de mi querida saga.
Greatings.
Wooo!...
This music call me to kill zombies!...

I'm not sure about everyone else, but I actually enjoy having the camera in a fixed position. If you know how the controls work, the camera views don't bother you much at all and it adds a lot of suspense hoping something won't jump from around the corner and ambush you. :)

AAhh the RE1 remake....Did anybody else shit their pants when that fucking zombie dog jumped through the window??? One of the greatest BOO! moments in any game ever!! RE FTW!!!

Can you imagine pre-rendered backgrounds in HD on PS3, 1080p!? Probably would be the most realistic looking game ever - although the camera would have to be static like the old games. You could spend all of the systems processing power on the character models.

Just goes to show you that if Third Parties actually put forth the effort, they can actually sell a large amount of games on a system that isn't considered 'hardcore'. RE has been doing that even on the GameCube. And continues to do that on the Wii.
And the GC RE games are some of the best on the system because they belong to that rare breed of games which become even better due to their graphical enhancements. Not simply relying on their graphics or upgrading them due to the logical progression of technology. They incorporated them into the very style and functionality of the game, and made the game more fun as a result.

The first will always be the hardest in the series and yet among the most awesome.
Proof that survival horror is a dish best served when you lack the means of survival and need to try and stay alive with the bare minimum.

Along with Silent Hill, you've got a double classic horror series
Jill Sandwich the master of unlocking.
Mmm.
awesome just awesome!!!...
like always, awesome retrospective GT
RE was REborn in 4
love it ! thanks
Good stuff!
I never thought i would say so about any title here at GT,
but this game-series is worth the word EPIC!
I only bought an Gamecube because they released RE0, RE1, RE2, RECV, RE3 and RE4 on it!
Nuts, i know ;)
You're right!
The classic RE with zombies are the scariest. RE4 was not that scary. but still a great game whatsoever :)
u mean T-002 right? T-001 is prototyrant from RE0
A FUCKIN GREED!
I love it!
Dude your not alone, thats the reason i own a gamcube today because of resident evil.
RE remake & RE4 are the best IMO
Sounded like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to me.
That sucked?
RE one of the best series out there and yes my friend it is EPIC
Sounded like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to me.
yep your right
But no more RE1 remakes, how about a RE2 remake?
this time ago RE was great....
sad that RE4 and RE5 dont have this charme and this scariness any more.
RE is much more an actiongame now
For me, the series died with part 3.
agreed.
For me, the series died with part 3.
code veronica? hello?
Moonlight Sonata ;)
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata.
You have to play it on the piano to open a door or move a wall or something?
Here we are finally!
And they always had this great saveroommusic ^^ i know you all love them :P
thats whats Sillent Hill never had ...unfortunatly =/
Jill in RE1 is hot! :p
Guess which one will sell more!
I love sound of typewriter
You can't call yourself a RE fan if you haven't played the original (and I don't mean the GC remake).
Bring back the story sweet gameplay, now!
Man, i don't give a fuck about that. I'm buying RE5 either way. RE4 was awesome! People saying that RE died after RE3 are just nagging. RE4 was for me the perfect game and i hope that RE5 has more of RE4 than RE1, 2 or 3 in it.
*cough*silent hill*cough cough*
I'm tired of convincing my self that RE took the right direction! Every time I see or hear any thing RE2, I realize what made this franchise special. I'm still going to buy RE5, but I already know That I will never like the shoot 'em up style in the game (maybe I'll only like the boss fights). The real reason I'm buying it is for the story, since I'm a huge Resident Evil fan. I liked RE4, but the developers are westernizing the game too much!
What really grinds my gears is the lack of Parasite Eve or Dino Crisis for either PS3/360(excluding PE 3rd Birthday for PSP)!! I know Dino Crisis 3 sucked on XBOX, but come on!! Dinosaurs in space!!
Any way, nice retrospective :)
exactly..the first 3 gamez were just awzum and more scarier than the new RE titlez but i like the new change that they brought to the seriez tho..but the zombiez from the old gamez were still much better :3
I had the DS version and it's amazing to see how well it stands up 10 years on. Can't wait for the 2nd part of this Retrospective.
Nice Intro! Kudos, GT!
OMG YES THAT'S WHEN I FIRST GET IN TO RESIDENT EVIL
Took a while to work them out though
What do you mean by Resident Evil 4 wasn't 'that bad'?
It wasn't bad at all. RE4 was awesome!
When the showed the clip from night of the living dead. CLASSIC!!
I have played every RE game since then and finished them. Except those
ailshooter games and Outbreak series because i dont think they are canon and doesn't bring anything to the story of Resident Evil.
So fucking sweet memories. I cant wait to RE5 being released!
Awesome! Totally awesome music! So dark and scary!
I´m realy a big fan of RE and I agree with those comments that RE now is not the RE we known and like. RE4 was awsome game(maybe one of the best I have played), but I was never scarred playing that game. Yes there were hard times (too much enemies, little time...) but NEVER, I was NEVER scared. The only thing was that I´ve had increased level of adrenalin in my blood, but I haven´t been scared.
To those who likes classic RE go and get yourself(or borrow from a friend) GameCube and RE:Remake. This is the best RE game ever! Who haven´t played wouldn´t understand. The only thing which bothers is B voice acting - too bad...
Looking forward new episode GT:)
which one had the tofu in it??
RE4 is the most overrated game ever, anyone agree?
which one had the tofu in it??
RE2
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata
Sadly they couldn't. People started leving the team because the games were only selling to the series main fanbase.
RE4 is the most overrated game ever, anyone agree?
For you and me but people like it so respect that, it can't be denied that it is a great game.
why the hell would you order same copy of the game twice?
I do. Not a survival horror, but a shootem'up...
it wasnt as good as people make it out to be resident evil has always been about zombies but 4 changed all that, the fact that its just angry people with a sharp object takes away the tension and the fear. 1-3 were scary, 4 and probably 5 will just be another shooter
love the retrospectives
Fuck, I wanna download all the Final Fantasy Retrospectives right now!
Oh, and the Warcraft ones... and, and...
*Head explodes from awesomeness*
Keep ém coming! :)
I do. Not a survival horror, but a shootem'up...
It's a damn good shootem'up, even if not the best game ever.
you should its good, I almost shat my pants when it came to the ds

1-3 didn't have traditional zombies either. Just people who were infected with biological weapon. What's your point? And the fact that the old games just had slow moving enemies didn't make it scary. Like the retrospective said, they were just simple target practice.
BTW good job on the vid, does the series justice.
I look forward to the next part although I do have one question:
Wasn't the original name for S.T.A.R.S. special tactics and rescue Squad instead of Service??I still own my original copy of Resident Evil which said it was squad not service (yews I am aware this point is rather pointless so please excuse the level of nerdy nitpicking.)
All in all this was very well done and I fully enjoyied hearing Moonlight Sonata throughout the video.
They finished that with the WoW closure. They essentially covered the entire 4 game series.
at last its here Resident Evil Retrospective
i am a fan of this game for most years of my life,
and today happens to be my birthday i become 19 :)
Thank you GT for this present its like you knew hehe :P
what can i say its resident evil made me cry.
I disagree. Resident Evil 1 and 2 at least had traditional zombies... in the 'Return of the living dead' sense. Yes, they were infected with the virus, but they died and rose again. Also, they are rotting. So, yes, those are zombies. Not the traditional kind without explanation, but still, zombies.
Haven't played RE3, but RE4 did indeed change that to the more modern 'people with strange rabies' version of 28 days later etc.
I still find the classical, slow-moving and rotting zombies far more atmospheric.
Nice retrospective.
Bring in the next episoooooode! :D
Great retrospective 10/10.
I also feel a very very disappointed that Capcom never made a PS2 version of the Remake of Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0. Ever since I first played the PS1 RE Trilogy (RE Survivor sucks and that's the truth) I got hooked so much that when the PS2 was released, It was the next console I bought hoping that the next RE will be released on the PS2. But We only get Code Veronica complete, Outbreak files, Dead Aim and RE4. We even get RE4 AFTER the GC version does. sigh... I was so envious of the GC version of RE and RE-0. Both graphics and story and acting was great. I just wish that Capcom will atleast make a PS2 version of RE and RE-0 as their last PS2 title of RE.
I also have to mention Konami's Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes from the GC is another worthy title that NEEDS to be made for the PS2.
Right.
RE4 and RE5 sucks , Resident Evil 1 and 2 best parts ever
And how come games like this get like a million episodes and other games who deserve more than any other just get one.
Life isn't fair...
Btw: Re4 and Re5 don't suck
This both Games are just no realy Re games.
I think Capcom choose the way of that gameplay for the general Gamers. Action,lots of enemys,lots of ammo...thats what the normal gamer wants today.I like both variants,but i wish they remake Resident evil 2 or 3,or make after Re5 a resident evil,with the old gameplaywise
All the shitty horror games.
Great retrospective!
Best retrospective so far!
10/10
shhh...its okay.
This video contains two of my favorite things.... George A. Romero and his movies... and the Goof Troop game.
Anyway as always great retrospective GT!
no
Again, great job!
They weren't dead. Not the majority of them. Most of the people were infected by rats who were carriers of the virus and contaminated the water supply. People drank the water, got the virus in their system and became infected. After Spencer Mansion blew up in the Arklay Mountains, the rats carried the virus into Raccoon City. Aside from the R.C.P.D and the U.B.C.U, almost everybody who was infected through drinking the contaminated water.
Moonlight Senade by Beethoven
I say ...no
RE5 is just a third person shooter without scary monsters or zombies but the only thing that makes this new game good for the RE fans is the Co-op mode and the story...since u can actually fight wesker and the trailer showing Jill`s grave makes us yell WTF!!
the *nightmare* and *horror* part of resident evil is dissapearing thanks to the new style of games were action,explosions and big fucking guns is what the developers think gamers want
And yay for Jill Sandwich!
Moonlight sonata I think
an do away with the comparison vids...
excelent work GT!!!! you almost made me cry
I still think RE1 has probably the best musical score of all of the RE games.
But the GAmecube remake is probably the best survival horror game ever made.
I say ...no

I agree with you man, the direction the series took now is not as good as they were before. Now, I'm almost pretty sure that the bird woman is Jill.
Mmm... Jill Sandwich...

moonlight sonata, jill plays it on the piano in resident evil 1. :P
beethoven's moonligth sonata for piano ( 1st movement)
beethoven's moonligth sonata for piano ( 1st movement)
my first real scare in a game, anyway this is real RE, this is why i wont shell out for RE5.
Looking forward to Episode 2.
Agreed, that game actually made me tense like no other, for some reason you really don't wanna die in the resident evil games. Of course we don't wanna die in any game but for resident evil it's a bit different lol. Never before in a game have I been so cautious of my ammo count, having to ration pistol bullets (4 or 5 per zombie) and then having to use the knife to finish them or fear running out of ammo completely.
fanboy?
There is one! Unless youre asking if theyll make a new entry when FF13 comes out?
1-3 and Code Veronica are still the best.
They already did.
Mondscheinsonate (Ludwig van Beethoven) Moonlight Sonata

your an idiot.
Barry, you dumb fuck. XD
love those zombiekillers
Great Retrospective!
Anyway, nice retrospective.
Do you live under a rock??? or what?? the gamecube version of the game is really old!!
Resident Evil is one of the best franchises ever!!
Gawd, well just to tell you, I'm the guy who hates Capcom, glad I'm not renting this, just tried something, and still hate it. Eh, I know I'll get hate points or hate messages, whatever, but hey, just my own Opinion, and my reasons for hating Capcom, well let's just say they hurt another franchise I love. (Namco)
There is already one.
Check the retrospective page.
P.S. can anyone tell me what the title of that music is, that starts playing at around 15m25s?
They already did albeit short.
Hope they plan on making an NTSC/PAL version for release.
And much like many of the other retrospectives, theres gonna be that one game we'll all be waiting eagerly for the retrospective to talk about - in this case...RE:4

Shut up noob
Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.
I actually suspected he was doing the Warcaft retrospective, guess I wasn't too far off...
If many of the retrospectives are any indication, GT waits until near the release date of a new game in the series before doing a retrospective on a series.

Use spell check once in a while...
Other than that, what does RE5 have to do with the original? Last I checked it was almost a completely different game...
great stuff..can't wait for part 2..
I was at my local videogame store when they played Resident Evil 1 on Playstation 1 for the very first time. First of all, I've never seen a video animation in a videogame ever and it was the first cutscene of this game. I was blown away, I couldn't even imagine this was possible.
And then, the actual gameplay. The graphics and the whole idea behind this game, I couldn't believe this is an actual videogame. I went home, shivering in excitment from what I've seen this day. I looked at my Sega Megadrive and I know I had to sell it.
From this day, I knew I have to buy a Playstation console. I bought a used PSX from a guy at school which was barely working. It was all my money and it was loads of cash for me. The console only worked if you turn it upside down, but I was able to play RE1, that's all I needed. I will never forget that day when I took my new almost broken PSX to my friend's house and we all enjoyed the glory that was Resident Evil for the very first time.
Videogame History. One of my alltime favorite games, thx for the memories.
download it and then convert it to MP4 so u can watch it on Ipod and PSP
EVIL FAIL
something about a train too, if i remenber.
thoses games were awesome...nowadays they are just another shoot them. what a shame.
RE retrospective. Finally!!!
A masterpiece!
wonder if they'll mention Resident Evil: Gaiden that was on GBC
Resident Evil has definitely a better story, but the gameplay itself doesn't give me the same chills as Silent Hill's creepy streets or the alternative world. It has to be the atmosphere, which makes the difference.
Resident Evil is a great survival horror game, but Silent hill is, without a doubt, more scarier than that.
17 minutes! now THATS a retrospective! thank you GT!
Technically Your correct my good man.
Obviously....no one cares :p
RE GAMES ARE AWWWWEEESSSOMMMMEEEE
downloading to PC right now ~_~
it's Moonlight Sonata
Finnaly i can get to know of resident evil story ^w^
been waiting for this for... actully i dunno why i've been waiting for this but i have so... Woot!!!! ^w^
Roll out the undead!! and freaky... ^w^

Damn, my dial-up connection. Have to wait forever to download this.
Also, I need to check out the remake for the GC...
i couldnt get past the first 10 minutes. too scary
then 4 or 5 years later. what was that scary game we could never play?\n
lets go get that.
instant love.
RESIDENT.EVIL.B
Could someone please tell me the name of that famous song PLEASE?
Indeed.
Best retrospective yet GT, makes me want to play through resident evil all over again.
Thanks 2 ya i want to replay all classic Resi games
finally made this one GT, Thanks!!
11/10 :D
seconded
etrospective that was just an ad for the new movie or w/e.
I can't wait for the second part. RE2 is one of my favorite games of all time.
Thank you!
I totally agree that the controls suck major ass! seriously, I know its a survival horror game but the controls dont help you survive for crap! RE5 does look good though, just sucky gameplay.
Man, I'm getting old :P
I know it requires ultimate timing to get them with a knife.
its funny how they show all the really old atari games but forgot the real influence that was Alone in the Dark from Infogrames and Call of Cthulu.
capcom almost rip the whole Alone in the Dark theme and gameplay and Resident Evil 1 was not even close to frightening as Alone in the Dark 1-3.
btw Jill in the RE2 costume looks hot.
It has been announced that in the final release you can move and shoot at the same time.
Too many people whining about RE5 nowadays.
First the racism, now the controls.
it was so so, but it was a good attempt
I think i'll download both RE1 and RE2 on my PSP... right now. those games were awsome... XD
i didnt know that much :L
now i do ;)
RE4 still my fav =D
I love the Resident Evil games and have done since I started gaming. I am an owner of a PS3 and often wish they would bring out some kind of Mega Collection of all the games that came on PS1 and Gamecube, considering that Blu-ray as standard has 50GB to play with, and now a 200GB disk that's readable by the PS3, it seems do-able.
Anyways Cant wait for Episode 2.
It has been announced that in the final release you can move and shoot at the same time.
Too many people whining about RE5 nowadays.
First the racism, now the controls.
ok, the racism thing i completely agree with. HOWEVER....
not that the controls are THAT frustrating, but if people find the controls frustrating then they are entirely allowed to bitch about it. If they didn't you wouldn't get good tweaks to the final product like being able to shoot and move at the same time (which i think is gonna still be weird to adapt too. it'll make it less of RE4 style 3PS, and more like a gears of war 3PS
REmake = best RE game out there, ever.
You're thinking of RE: Gaiden, what he's talking about is a GBC release of the original RE. I saw some screenshots of it, and it didn't look pretty...
thats RE3 ;)
I want to see next chapter, with the most pain-in-the-ass bosses of all time: Nemesis.
=O
Yeah, this was a lot better than mine. Then again, they're professionals.
R2: AWESOME BUT NOT SURPASSES THE HORROR OF R1.
r3: surpasses the r2 because of nemesis.
r code veronica: ONE THE BEST OF RE SERIES
r4: crap re because the horror no have more.
r5: ???????
Really looking forward to seeing the rest of these as they count down to RE5.
btw what was that song played on the piano?
I'll never forget the moment when the dogs came through the window the first time I played RE! It almost gave me a heart attack!
RESIDENT EVIL = Videogame History!
I currently own 18 Resident Evil titles and can't wait for 5!
This is what I need.
But thats what we call 'evolvement' right?
R.I.P BioHazard/Resident Evil ;'(
I don't know about that. The control scheme feels antiquated
download it from the internet its easier
Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven
they explained why, but I dont get why exclusively those... there more horror games ^^
I'm hoping to pick up RE 1 0 for the gamecube (cause I won't be getting my PS3 until August so no RE5 for now lol) So I wanna see What GT have to say about RE 0.
Awesome vid.
I just remembered how I played RE 3 many times to get all the epilogue files, and get Hunk and Tofu in RE 2.
Eagerly waiting for the rest of the retrospective.
There's more zombie games out now than ever before, so what's there to miss? Play Left 4 Dead.
WOW RE is sooooo cool then and now !!!!!
It's too bad the remake was made for the GC, because I definitely would have bought it for PS2.
Man such nostalgia, I can remember when one of my friends just bought a used playstation and didn't really have much money left, he found a copy of Directors cut in a bargain bin for $5. Then I always think back to how that night we and 3 other friends about 5-6 people in all, all crowded into his tiny room turned the lights off and just watched him play, all of us on edge for hours.
Then I can also remember the first time I played the GC version and how freaked out I was by the first zombie encounter and how they turned somthing that had always been funny before into the scariest looking thing I'd ever seen in a game.
[rawr] [grr]
OH MY GOOOOOD!
lemmie just crack out my resident evil zero hd remix 23 xDD
excellent retro
Also GT why didn't you talk about Lisa Trevor or the Crimson Heads in the Gamecube remake?
Resident Evil Fan Represent!!!
This one seems much more in-depth examining each game as an individual experience, explaining it's significance (or lack of), and it's placement in the Re timeline.
Much better then lumping the games together.
Have you played RE5 all the way through? No? Thought not, so SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
You get a lockpick.
My first thought was is there an option to stick that lockpick in Chris' eye?
and finally i'll be able to know the stories in all the games before buying RE. i know it's not that complicated and i know some of it but this will make it all clear in my head :)
anyways, this was a good episode
not that much to talk about i guess but still interesting :D
can't wait for next episode
I seriously need my hands on that GCube RE1. That thing must OWN the original
And I still laugh my ass off seeing Wesker wearing sunglasses in the dead of night
I played the demo and here's my opinion:
The support charictar is a pain in the ass, and I can't kill her!
It's not scary one reason is because it's bright and sunny out.
And when you die you should go to a save point or at least a checkpoint, not have the other help you up.
but a good lot of background info at the beginning
Still have my Gamecube :)
Troll 2!! xD THAT LINE WAS JUST SOOOOOO BAD !! It's Epic these days xD
That was more or less an advertisement for the movie. This is the full on retro that they hinted at the end of the other one.
Have you played RE5 all the way through? No? Thought not, so SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
No u! ahaha if you were an actual fan of RE then you would know what he is talking about. RE5 will be a fun game, but will it be as scary as it used to be? No way in hell. I still get nightmares from that shit.
ya i would like to know as well
moonlight sonata
I seriously need my hands on that GCube RE1. That thing must OWN the original
And I still laugh my ass off seeing Wesker wearing sunglasses in the dead of night
agreed i want to play the GC version of the original because sadly i never played the original re on the play station:(
P.S. Jill is the master of unlocking
Thank you!!!!
Thank you GT.
ya i would like to know as well
Moonlight Sonata
cant wait for RE5
they should make a street fighter retrospective when they finish this ones
Mad!
Greatl Retrospective 10/10
they were made by the same ppl
Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.
Isn't it on the Halo 3 Believe trailer aswell?
If not, my bad.
It's Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. The piece is very famous.
Its because we've adapted to its Horror. We know what we're going to get, so half the scare is already gone. (The other half being that 'pop-out' scare)
Its the same thing with humor. I use to laugh so hard I pissed my pants when I watched the first few AVGN videos. But now...eh, maybe 1 laugh per episode?
But RE5 will still be kick ass. More action then horror, but thats enough for me!
its beethovens moonlight sonata
so insightful :D
cool! thank for the name.
Can't wait to see Episode 2 because Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Nemesis are my two favorite games of all time. I'm a bit disappointed that they are sandwiching both games in the same episode.
that reminds me the other day some dude tried to sell his gamecube at gamestop and when that failed he left it on the sidewalk ....no one in the store went for it :)
Good show though. Nice production.
i bet
hahaha loved it as always.
brandon jones ftw.
I love the silent hill series... But I was a little dissapointed with Homecoming. I am happy i went threw the whole thing to be ready for the next. Not really any replay value. I wish I have had Mercy on my Mom since I Forgave my dad to get the GOOD ENDING. I received the Hospital ending. I saved over those sections of the game.
i always hope they remake RE2, my favorite one :D
This one was still good.
etrospective, what was an movie ad in reality.
i bet
I was never into any of the RE games myself, but my little brother played RE1 and RE2 to death.
since i saw both FF Retrospective and
MG Retrospective!
IMO
Th first RE games
where the greates ones.
Dont get me wrong
the others like RE4 and soon to come RE5
are great too
but games like RE Remake and RE 0
bring the Old Fashioned Horror
to be ultimately Refined.
that reminds me the other day some dude tried to sell his gamecube at gamestop and when that failed he left it on the sidewalk ....no one in the store went for it :)
lol i want it!
It actually is called Biohazard, outside of Japan just changed the name to Resident Evil.
Remake RE2 and 3 on current-gen systems, and I would die a happy man.
are you really THAT fucking stupid?!?! biohazards is the name in japan you fucking twat!
This one was still good.
They made one already dumbass
I'm going to say... the biggest FAILURE ever on this homepage.
Back to the game:
I remember the first time I played Resident Evil. Scared the bejesus out of me. Even the corny FMV intro got me spooked. Oh how I miss the original Playstation.
It will look like crap. Unfortunately HDTVs make standard definition videogames look real crappy.
whoa whoa wee whoa whoa...chill
I don't think that's the reason. I think it's just becuase the game is styled so much differently. I think with the original games, the camera angles made it easy to set up suspense. You would never know what was around the corner and some cameras were just set up in a creepy way. Being able to control the camera wipes out all of the tension.
They made one already dumbass
no need to be mean dumbass
XD have a nice day!
props
I agree walking down a hall while keeping an eye on a door and the zombies busting through the burning wall is much scarier...plus the footsteps and moans off camera were hella scary.
RE died after CV.
Not to mention the story, which had so many little things that you could follow if you really dug into the games. Love them soooo much! The new ones are good don't get me wrong...but I do miss them!
Good retrospective GT.
the re1 remake looks scary as fuck
I agree with you 100% on that. Plus some other little details but yeah, you got it.
Um.....What he said.
yea it was my fav as well. starting the game off with jill in a skirt and tank top with a automatic...it was just....epic.
Awesome Retrospective and Awesome work!!
God of war? That is not a classic good franchise
thought this would never be done properly......
Nice one GT.......
and I just love this series. cant wait to see RE2, the best of all. the feeling of desolation, the hole city dying, the deadly silence at strategical parts, the best villain of all series, the best plot, G-virus, and yes the rookie dumbass leon was way better then the secret agent one.
I never liked Resident Evil until I played RE4. The controls in the older games were too cumbersome, but i still respect them though and see why people loved them
Moonlight Sonata.
Amazing video!
the game cube version looks amazing but i guess cause the background is pre-rendered already
i love GT retrospective!, this episode was awesome
i love GT retrospective!, this episode was awesome
Agreed. The REmake was incredible. What I wouldn't give for a Resident Evil 2 remake in the same vain!
Can't wait to see Episode 2 because Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Nemesis are my two favorite games of all time. I'm a bit disappointed that they are sandwiching both games in the same episode.
cos they are some what connected, and they take place in more or less the same time period
Metal Gear
Legend of Zelda
Resident Evil
i play them all the time , and i cant wait for the 2nd episode for this Retrospective
brings back sooooo many memories
*wipes tear*
Resident Evil is Survival Horror
Barry: There MUST be a backdoor somewhere! Let's try to find IT first, shall we?
Jill: Okay! Let's separate again--
Barry: -- JUST A MOMENT! I found something!
-awkward silence-
Jill: . . . what is it?
Barry: It's a WEAPON! It's REAAAALLY powerful! ESPECIALLY AGAINST LIVING THINGS! Better take it with you!
Jill: What about you, Barry?
Barry: IIIII HAVE THISSSS! /whips out magnum
Best RE moment, ever. Barry was hilarious.
dont have the 2nd?!?! mad man.
That would be bad ass.
I never did play the original RE but the remake on GC was amazing. They captured the creepy feeling perfectly. I just miss the static camera, I think that really made the earlier games have an altogether scarier atmosphere.
I really enjoyed Resident Evil, it scared the crap out of me and my friends and Resident Evil 2 on Dreamcast is still my favourite, after all these years. Can't wait to see more of the retrospective!
Nemesis is the best boss in a videogame ever IMO, im waiting for retrospective part 2.
yeah i was thinking the same thing about AVGN lol
but this is a great retrospective, i cant wait for the other 5 episodes
cant wait for episode 2!
I gotta say, I never got a chance to play the original RE, but my friend and I rented the 2002 GC remake, and to this day that has got to be the scariest game I've ever played hands down (not too mention still one of the most gorgeous games on any system!) The dogs jumping through the windows was just the tip of the iceberg in that game... they were nothing compared to the Crimson Zombies... if you didn't blow the regular zombies' heads off or burn their bodies with the lighter, they came back to life later on and charged at you like the zombie swarm in L4D!
But man, nothing could prepare us for our first encounter with Lisa Trevor! *shudders* If you don't know what I'm talking about, turn off all the lights and YouTube that shit! Oh, and be prepared to stay up all night with the lights on haha!
I still have REmake on GC and it's really good.
Can't wait for episode 2... RE2 was my second favorite RE game.
But thanks GT you guys did a great job.
Moonlight sonata. Yeh the first resident evil was most defiently the scarriest, but just because RE has changed to the big guns and lots of ammo doesn't mean it's become less fun. I like the feeling of being out numbered and cornered with only a pistol (knowing there's no way i'd make it out alive in the new games)
Moonlight Sonata.
Jill is hot *fap*
ok im going to go play the RE5 demo lol
Kudos for listening.
Can't wait for the next entry
A long time?? C'mon what type of music do you hear?? The Pussy Cat Dolls and Britney Spears only?? It's the 7th Symphony!!!!
Wonderful game series that will always live in our hearts.
Also the graphics of the remake is also holding up well even by today's standard. plus goodthing is no short pause for loading new screen
*Barry hands Jill a lockpick.*
AWESOME!
first game to ever bring me into a survival horror genre
loved it even when i was a child i loved it. me, my friends, brother and cousins all played it over at my house.
MR.X was crazy, first time i killed him, left the room ran down the hallway next thing i kno BOOM punched right through the wall infront of me.
oh man neither can i! RE2 is still the best RE i ever played. i remember at first i had no idea what the game was all about until my friend let me borrow it. as soon as i started playing, i died in a instant. the tank controls were so new to me that i kept running into zombies. as soon as i got down the controls. MAN, what a effing journey RE2 was! plus, going back to play the B story for either leon and claire which added my first time as reasonable replay value. i expected the B story was going to be the same as the A story...or so i thought. good shyt GT! love these retros.
moonlight sonata.
nostalgico
Great game however
I think I might have to agree with this comment. I am normally a big fan of the retros even if I dont like the game but this was a bit on the boring side.
FAIL
i think I heard that the PSN store had the original RE available, unless that is new within 02.03.09 - 02.05.09 that's news to me. unless like I have been suspecting for a while Canada is getting shafted on the PSN store again.
recently started with re1 on ds I'm at 3/4 of the game now :)
R.E. Zero wasnt the remake. it was the prequel
He didn't say that
Some dude was saying how dumb the A.I. was in a multiplayer Killzone2 Beta Video when in fact it was actually real Humans playing
LOL
But now that I'm older, I am intrigued by the stories behind these games. The horror themes still persist, but I see them more as plot elements. So, I have slowly, but surely come around to like RE, Silent Hill, and others like that.
When will the 2nd part be posted? :P
I remember I played RE on Playstation I was so young so i had two pairs of pants and underpants just in case.
All of the RE games are fantastic, and it seems Capcom wont fail in RE5 aither.
I want to see Jill Valentine again, hopefully along side Leon since I don't think they've met. I hate Chris
Excellent idea!
I want to see Jill Valentine again, hopefully along side Leon since I don't think they've met. I hate Chris
Yea me too but at the end of the new RE5 trailer it shows Jill's tombstone... :(
While the retrospective didn't directly mention this controversy, I for one appreciate the clips being thrown in for those of us who remember it. I'm really looking forward to part 2.
LOL Most of those earlier horror games were on AVGN vids. Horror games need decent visuals and audios to control the atmosphere. It's almost impossible for the games back in NES or Atari days to pull it off. Well...at least they tried.
Great vid. Waiting for part 2.
Moonlight Sonata :)
This retrospective is kickass! I wish there was a Street Fighter one too :).
I totally agree, Resident Evil 2 has that magic thing that makes it immortal, I still have happy (though scary) memories for back when I used to play it over and over....never get tired.
What's the point? It's all SD content - there's no need to waste bandwidth for NES and PS1 material in HD.
The Resident Evil remake for the GC is one of my favourite games ever. Its so, so great.
THAT'S WHY I HATE RE4 & 5....... WHERE IS THE HORROR IN THE GAME....... THIS 2 ONLY HAD SURVIVAL AND IT'S ALL
Brandon is sorta going for the old school low budget horror flick vibe with this one. We all remember those films for their VHS look. SD fits this retro well.
The Warcraft Retro is HD because:
1. Most of the games can be set to run in HD.
2. The art is gorgeous and looks great in high def.
3. I made all the graphics 1080p. ^_^
Tnks GT
Its great keep up the good work ^^
the wife and I are throwing a RE5 release party!
its gonna be so kcufing sic!
Can't wait for the next part, but I hope I see retrospectives for more franchises.
Tnks GT
Its great keep up the good work ^^
i am totaly agree with u ;)
y would u do that?? fuckin weird man.. Anyways i was kinda disappointed in the RE5 demo. After playin deadspace i really dont care much for RE5 nemore
exactly mate GT you rock!
I remember the Dualshock version of RE1 was my first taste and it scared me. Hearing about the total revamp on GCN, I thought it would be fairly similar. When I played it, I was scared all over again.
Now RE4 wasn't that scary to me. It was more actiony, and I didn't like the fact that it really didn't have much to do anything. At least as far as I know until I play RE5. I'm excited for RE5 because of the continuing story of Wesker. Wesker is one of my all time favorite antagonists.
Looking forward to the next installment!
retrospective GT users were hoping to have a whole retrospectiove
so thats what they did
I still think that RE on GC is the prettiest (appart of the flames effects from RE4)
PLEASE BRING OLD RESIDENT EVIL BACK!!!
y would u do that?? fuckin weird man.. Anyways i was kinda disappointed in the RE5 demo. After playin deadspace i really dont care much for RE5 nemore
i totally agree on the party thing lmao weird shit..
i couldn't agree with you more
It was stressful palying those old games...im glad RE evolved a bit
and RE 2 is just my favorite in the series
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
*poke*
Oooooo....
Same here.
YAY The RE-Make!!! :) Love every RE game, I LOVE this series!! :3 (but not RE: Gaiden. HAH! XD)
And for the record, I want to play the eyeball labyrinth game XD
I Agree! People need to realise this. But not in RE5, would not work at all in the next gen market...
She's actually quite young, and Her name is Lisa Trevor...
Aww don't feel like that, now that your older, you can play the game without being scared like when you were younger I assure you. I felt the EXACT same way when I was younger, my dad got me the Directors Cut with the scary face on the back and I couldn't even look at it without getting scared. I was not living in the States at the time so I had NO idea as to what was in store for me as I popped in that game.
Those kind of people can go fuck themselves^^ i agree with u all the way though i doubt after playing the re5 demo theres gonna be any of it in re5 except possibly not being able to run and shoot at the same time ^^
Unfortunately they barely touched on the story in this retrospective.
Suggestion: Raise screen brightness in the vids a bit.
the no hud, the ank controls, the cinematografic camera...it really feels like playing a movie...
The third one is the best one for me! RE4 is awsome, but is more of a action game than a survivel horror!
By god, how many remakes were there?
And, this also goes to show how much this series has changed... =/
How hard can it be to keep the RE4 gameplay in tact, while maintaining the horror elements of RE1 and 2?
Since I love RE no matter what, RE5 isn't even a question, I'm definitely buying it, it's just that I'm afraid it will fall short of my expectations.
I got queezy when I saw that :{ lol
Loved the video though.
They should made a Retrospective for the Castlevania series. It should be at least 8 parts long. They probably made it when Konami desides to make a proper 3D Castlevania.
if you've seen the colored version, you know what i'm talking about.
it's just ridiculous!
me too :)...
Resident Evil 4 didn't awe me as much as the second game did. I can see the new generation of gamers like number 4 the best, but me, who grew up with 8-bit gaming, prefer the PS1 classic.
thank you GT...thank you
GT from me in new zealand i want to say thanks for this retrospective and you guys rock!
amazing video :)
Resident Evil 4 didn't awe me as much as the second game did. I can see the new generation of gamers like number 4 the best, but me, who grew up with 8-bit gaming, prefer the PS1 classic.
I hear that, 2 was the ultimate classic. They could very easily do a remake of 2 with the over the shoulder camera angle and still keep it survival horror instead of run and gun. All they need to do is make head shots a one hit kill but add more enemies, maybe even make them faster.
They could even make an achievement/trophy called you gotta be nuts where you knife a zombie in the balls 500 times (not on the same zombie).
Capcom shouldn't let that style die...
LOL same from my side. I went a my friend's place who 3-4 years older and he played RE3 (I was 12 I think) And the first night I had nightmare about nemesis doing the same thing to me as he did to Brad in the video XD it took awhile but now I love the series so much I always play one of my RE games XD
and i beat every version of the first one but the DS version was my favorite
now i can play 3 without getting scared, i feel so alive!
good preparation for re5 :)
You're the one and only, buddy!
i miss the old formula too.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! You just said RE4 was crap! You fail, my friend.
I'm addicted to the Resident evil saga! And resident evil 1 is the mother of them all!
I'm addicted to the Resident evil saga! And resident evil 1 is the mother of them all!
Mother, father and son!!111
I dare you! I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHERFUCKER!
Nice review of the first game (and it's remakes) in this installment, as well as some background before going into the realm of our survival horror classic.
Don't let me down on the rest of the Retrospective GT. Your doing great so far
GameZombie.tv
Jill's actress for the original RE was hot!
RE 1 was great and it started a great franchise but the second one was even better. The story and the atmosphere were better (told) and RE 3 wasn 't bad either. That are the sequels I want to see today!!
Just imagine another RE with prerendered graphics, it would look phenomenal! The newer REs lost so much on atmosphere...
Totally right dude.
Yeah, it's action horror instead of survival horror now....
You know what I kinda agree I loved RE3 because of the ammunition creation mechanics, there were some kinda cool new monsters and the Nemesis added an extra layer of fear.
Still my favorites is RE4 and REmake and RE3 comes in a close third position to me.
Stellar, as always.
I just wanna play the 5
Oh BTW, REmake is the first game i KNEW i needed to buy a Gamecube for.It's pretty obvious why that is.It's one of the best gaming experiences out there.If you haven't played REmake, you haven't played the older type of RE at it's finest.So i suggest you do so, on your Wii or what-have-you.
But anyway, I thought this was really cool. Can't wait to see the next one.
The REmake still looks great today and can still scare the bejesus out of you!
well...not realy world class production
well...not realy world class production
Who says that?
Good job on the background story, still i think people should mention the first Clock Tower game more.
but with good reason
I know nobody appreciates those game like they should be
- Chris?
- hahaha
- stop it! *puts the gun right at his face*
Man thats funny!
Resident Evil was such a great change in gaming, having to rethink every move rather than just go blazing in guns firing. And Yawn (The snake), what an absolute pain in the ass!
So many memories, and like most of the series, it isn't a game I tire of playing, despite it's graphics having aged considerably.
Thankyou Resident Evil for turning my gaming world upside down!
And thankyou GT, I've been waiting for this since RE5 was announced! Looking forward to seeing the episode with the non-canon entries (RE: Gaiden, Survivor & Outbreak). They weren't the best games, but the stories were quite interesting.
Liked the use of Bach's Toccata in D near the end.
I know nobody appreciates those game like they should be
nicely said agreed!
because they started it chronologically.
I was wondering the same thing. I guess there going by release date rather than chronologically
hey lol i highly appertiate these games, alothough i do have to say there the hardest games i ve ever played, true survival horror! Oh Yeah!
BTW I appologize for any flaming or Resident Evil 5, it's just that I jump to conclusions alot...
its Beethoven's Moonshine Sonata
Jill had to play it on the piano in re1 in order to solve some riddle.
I just re-beat the remake. I love it. I really hope Capcom goes through with the RE2 remake.
cant wait to see the other videos :D
me too I didnt even like it when I played it but now I love it
um no its not
classic game I had it for the palystation version when it first came out! also part2 and 3..Now I got them all on gamecube, and thats the reason why I haven't got rid off my gamecube because of this game! they should remaster them all and make them on the 360 or playstation 3 version.
i used to have it a long time ago...
Yeh man, for me it's the best survival horror game ever.
wow i hate ppl who start all late in a serires play it and say it as a good story and yet know nothing about the sereries
He didn't bash the classics in the series. New Resident Evil fans need to start somewhere... Asshole.
wow i hate ppl who start all late in a serires play it and say it as a good story and yet know nothing about the sereries
and I hate nerds who think they know everything. You don't need to know everything about resident evil to enjoy it dumbass.
Otherwise, great review. I love Resident Evil.
^.^
actually u do, because dumbass like u that never play the originals thinks that the new ones are amazing even though it has little to do with any of the past ones. and if people like u had played the first ones, u wouldn't complain about the controls.
to be honest gamers nowadays are too stupid to play the old ones.
today the games are so simple and forward,there's no way u can't beat it.
so shut up your big mouth and play the game when it's released
... they didn't forget, they're showing the games chronologically, you twat -_- the only exception is when handling the remake department, but hey, if GT didn't pull it off like that, it would've been a lot more confusing :P
great work! I've been drooling over this for a loooong time ^^
The remake on the Nintendo Gamecube has some fantastic visuals and despite using pre-rendered backgrounds I believe it is the best looking game from the last generation of consoles.
gametra been waiting for this...thank you so much ^_^
Since I have 4 thumbs up,should I take that as a yes and what does this mean for backwards compatibility for the ps2 games?
I want a FF VII remake!
me too
Oh boy!
awwwwwww how cute its adorable.
Say wooot
It would look awsome But I think ill be too scared Square fucks tha tremake up dude never mind the graphics cause its all chibi excpet battels and stuff... and if they keep that in ppl will flame it (cause ppl prob just will) and ppl like me will be like WTF no chibi.. memory erased..
oh well.cant please anyone these days..
but yeah.. Jill's New Actress in Remake fuck SHE Is hot..
go see Bitch slap when its out..
You know, this has been voted as the worst line in a video game ever.
You know, this has been voted as the worst line in a video game ever.
Jill sandwich, lolz...
Even though I'd beaten the original game several times, the Game Cube remake still managed to scare the crap out of me. Especially the new areas like the locked doors behind the stair case; the wailing of Lisa Trevor (didn't know WTF it was at the time) spooked me to no end.
It'd be great if they could go back to the basics. RE 4 ruined the series for me when they made money and items drop from enemies and included a shop. It's not survival horror when you can't run out of ammo (unless you're stupid or have incredibly bad aim)
Can't wait for RE5 but nothing will ever replace the OG's. Since the hype of 5 and Gametrailers doing an awesome retrospective, i've picked up the original Resident Evil and im playing through it for like the millionth time.
I know, is so dang good, that is why till today, RE is till one of my favorite game.
A spectacular 1st RE-Retrospective.... Hunk FTW!!
Keep up the good work, GT.
Keep up the good work, GT.
yep great as always
lol....no
Can't wait for RE5
._.
he should have been apart of the stars team
so should have ada, they could have double team gang bang
wesker right there.......but doesnt ada work for wesker.
Did i just dissagree with my self?

Mmmmm...
*BRLOOD!!*
the voice acting sure sucked... but the game was legendary
if you wanna play it again, i would suggest getting the GameCube Version, its more recent an most likely to see em on the second hand shelves plus if you have a Wii you can play it on that, bear in mind you will need a GameCube Controller and Memory Card
D's Shokutaku(Dinner Table)
I have the remake, it's a lot harder.
Another amazingly well done retrospective, as well.
It's the Moonlight Sonata. You play it in the game.
I second this
Quoted for truth.
one of the best games ive ever played and first makes me proud to be a owner of a ps3 ps2 and ps1
Wesker's badass man
where can I get that game. I want it so bad now
My favorite RE game of em all. The graphics (to me) still look really good and it is the scariest of all the titles. Without a doubt one of my favorite games
Moonlight Sonata
Why else is this my username XD
I actually beat it for the first time today. :)
Its a great classic and still lots of fun even today.
RES 1 that is.
Just amazing.
I love the creepyness of having no music in it either except for the ticking of a clock or something.
Going to play through all of them this week :D
I finished the game under 2 hours on invisible zombie mode without the infinite ammo grenade luncher :p
Remember to always keep the door that breaks open for when you come back from the outhouse too, very important if you don't want to run around the entire house and reclear the entire place refilled with zombies :)
Moonlight Sonata ^^
think im going to replay RE ^^
it cool
such a revolutionary series for sure, especially for its time. and damn, resisdent evil remake on the gamecube looks amazing graphically.
Yeah, even back in the day I only saw it in a store once.
GC version is a remake. IMO It's longer, harder and funnier. I dont care about the grapphics but if you do - they're fantastic!
First of all I don't now how you can say that! Also 3-6 hrs, bah! It took me 8hrs, 42 min, and 16 seconds (I think) to compete it my first time but I think its because the timer includes the time when you pause & plus I was using the walkthrough.
This music call me to kill zombies!...
The best Survival Horror game is my precious Biohazard.
But in some where, some way...
... lose the Survival Horror efect.
Now, Resident Evil is more dead than alive, but maybe the new Action in game for the news times will be best when our look back for all the glorius and very best moment pased in the PS1, or the Dreamcast.
Es mi humilde opinion como usuario y amante de mi querida saga.
Greatings.
ALSO: ALL THE CLASSIC HORROR GAMES WAS REVIEWED BY AVGN
If this site was to die tomorrow, the retrospectives would be the things I'd miss the most.
Really good
Gon watch the whole series ^^
10/10
;-)
And the GC RE games are some of the best on the system because they belong to that rare breed of games which become even better due to their graphical enhancements. Not simply relying on their graphics or upgrading them due to the logical progression of technology. They incorporated them into the very style and functionality of the game, and made the game more fun as a result.
that would be pretty awesome
Only Resident Evil series has been highly overrated IMO.
overrated or way more kickass than most games? the tilt goes to more kickass.
Moonlight Sonata
Yeah you really do
Exactly. just cuz he's not that big a fan the game isn't really that famous. what a retard
wesker: chris?
chris: ha ha ha!
wesker: stop it!
Proof that survival horror is a dish best served when you lack the means of survival and need to try and stay alive with the bare minimum.
the great music, the hilarious dialogues and the shocking moments ^^ ah sweet rememberance
couldnt say it better
chris stop it!
omfg that was hilarous
