i lol so HARD when i saw that!

I like how John just says "the models all look and animate completely different than the original". Yeah, not ridiculous, not laughable, just "different". Haha

It's hilarious, but man was that an impressive demo for a GBA.

Looked more like Mr. McMahon’s strut to me.

He looks a bit like robocop to me...

He's probably suffering from short-term memory loss, like the guy in memento.

@@zigmar2 Nope, its girls man. They can do that sort of thing to men

Claire: No. I have to find my brother. Leon: Oh.................... yeah you do that. is what we always pretended Leon said when we were kids.

The Gunman jeers for this rusty tailgate

Lol, this is the randomest place i'd think to see a comment from you

Nice cars, bro.

Indeed, truly the best way to play the original RE2 in today's age, thanks for the hard work.

🥰

Now that I'm aware of it, I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks DF retro for that, and thanks in advance to you for your incredible work !

¿¿Ada?????👈 ¿¿¿Chaves???👈👉Zomb??

Your patch is the best. It has everything. Especially loving 240p mode. Pure pixelated experience.

the original music of that scene is so better in every way possible.

Clowns farting in the basement, yes.

Ah, the sound of people dying of terminal flatulence with trumpets glued to their arse.

It's called "Mansion Basement". It replaced the phenomenal "Narrow and Close". They also play it one more time for everyone at the end of this video.

Remake from the ground up...

Somebody please get this across to capcom.

Will891410 dino crisis 2 is the best graphics in ps1, it almost reach ps2 graphics standard,.. Dino crisis 2 showed what can ps1 can do even at the low spec..but at that time ps1 is the most power gaming device, powerful than pc at that time at early years of ps1.. They even market the ps1 as the most powerful console, powerful than the god..hahahaha the most embarrassing and stupid marketing strategy..I think dino crisis 2 release at the last lifecycle of the ps1

@@silentlyquiet8792 Capcom already posted on twitter that the might be interested in considering a DC remake if enough people want it. So there is chance that this will actually happen.

@@MrBenedick14 It was at no time close as powerfull as a good pc.

Who won tho?

You mean Fortnite streamer of the year? Joking aside, really wish that category had a lot more diversity in terms of content creation.

@Subi_fan wrong

@Subi_fan That's sonixfox not ninja.

Panic button wants a word.

Yeah.. funny thing is, in my memory it was far better looking than the PS1, except the cutscenes. I played both versions on the same CRT TV, about 5 or 6 months apart and when running the N64 version with expansion pack installed it kinda blew me away how cleaner and sharper the game looked. I guess this video favors the PS1 version due to modern LCDs we are watching this on.. but on my classic 29" CRT tube back in the day, the PS1 was all pixelated as any PS1 game with character meshes morphing all over the place, pixelated backgrounds and the blood splash of zombie bites or gun shots were that huge pixelated mess.. N64 version looked smooth and sharp at the same time.. The blurrier backgrounds only make it look more movie like and smooth in a CRT TV.. the character were incredibly crispy at 480i with better models and more stable without all the morphing. The cutscenes were the only downside that was immediately noticeable but I was happy to see them anyway. The compressed voices were not noticeable unless you compare them like John did here.

@@dariusthefactor i prefer the Dreamcast version over the GameCube one.

@@retroboy-fh1ji but in the end we all know the PC version is the best one

@@mainsmain As so often PC masterrace ponys make general statments why in this case the Dreamcast as well as the Gamecube version are superior to the original PC release. As well as the N64 version content wise, it even had an rng mode.

Same here!

Same.

I was 14, I remember playing Part 1 before and wasn't aware re2 was out, played it at m friends house and rushed to blockbuster and rented it lol those were the days man.

Was born in 99 but played em growing up on the ps2 through back compat

Yep, shout out to Lotus Prince, he did it first.

because it would hurt sales of the remake.

@@karelpipa Fuck I would've gotten both tbh. This a great game.

karelpipa I just bought the GameCube version of re2 and re3.

Just hack the console and download it 😁

No disrepect for other people's work on internet, but John's work is my favorite thing online.

I wouldn't want only one or the other, but I almost get as excited for DF Retro as for a new Ahoy video.

Nice to see you here, man :) I like to watch your vids even though I have a good PC and PS4 Pro :D

@@elzabbul i feel like this is said on almost every video or comment he has.

@@nerp_47 I mean, I still appreciate it a ton.

On the channel "stop skeletons from fighting" there was a comment made by the developer explaning a bit about dynamic resolution. Pretty much it is not only per scene but it also how many zombies and what type of zombies are on screen, he even say the reason the item menu is 240p because it did not scale well to 480i. So yea they did put more effort than we imagened

@LowSpecGamer Why were you suprised by the Nintendo 64 version ? The console was very Powerful at the Time have You ever seen Perfect Dark or Conkers Bad Fur Day ? These Games looked mindblowing when they just released.

I agree.Nice to see you here

I was 27 when I first played it, and it doesn't get better than this (and the original RE)

Yes! I'd buy them in a heartbeat!

Or GOG since they specialize on making older games run on modern hardware. Regardless, I would buy them in a heartbeat.

Capcom are the absolute masters of remasters! how in the world have they still not done so!?

I'd happily get them, even after the release of RE2 remake.

All those games are easily emulated. Also FF7, 8 and 9 "remastered" versions are pretty barebones, basically PSOne ports with worse music... If they gonna do that then no thanks, I don't want any lazy remasters.

when i saw the way LEON was running at the first shot of the GBA version in this video.. DUDE, I LOLD SOOO HAAARD! hahaha pure gold!no zombie would respect a guy like that lol! Cherry would BULLY him thats for sure :D

Virgin PS1 walk animation vs Chad GBA stride

Looks like he should sassily be saying, "Haters gonna hate, y'all!"

Same

My nephew also got the game that Christmas. Good times and frights were had.

I wish they would do a spinoff channel for DF retro. I don't want to sub to the channel because I don't want 10 videos comparing the minute differences of on Xbox one x and ps4 pro every week

i feel you, i do enjoy some of the modern videos but i totally get where you're coming from!

Or just do a Devil May Cry feature only, as in the first game only, and nothing to do with the fact that a silly parody DMC game, DMC5, is on the way.

Yes!

Nonsense. It was undoubtedly more expensive than that.

Is that a lot for the time? Not sure from your statement if you mean it was cheap or expensive

Cheetos Ortiz It's about 4206900 dollars in todays market

@@adamkovacs4732 So cheap then? Still not sure of OP sentiment.

@@cheetosortiz2783 expensive for then

The OST is in a special version of the RE Remake. THat pissed me off at first... grrrr. i will cost me more money to have the true sound track wich is way better than the remake one. I wish this to be a standard thing so people can choose by themselves.

I never touched that RE6 garbage but even I know it had FOUR campaign modes, 2 playable characters across 3 or them and then Ada in her own, totaling 7. Try and make some sense and yes, I do consider RE6, a game from 2012, to be a game that "came out today" because Capcom still adopt the exact same garbage tactics today that they did back then. Here is a shocker a lot of people might not know like yourself. The RE2 remake features the original game costumes for Leon and Claire............. and they are 100% unlockable in game. ??????????? Capcom must have had a stroke or something.

@@andrewsqual RE6 to me still amazes me on how bad that game is. Capcom mimic Micheal Bay's directing style to a tee.

Image today a company start a development of a game all over again because they are unsure of its quality. I think if it was made today they be like "put it out as it the rest would be fixed with patches"

Those campaigns were shit and Adas was DLC

now I can pretend to have known all these things myself.

Indeed! Very informative!

It wasn't by that. The Saturn had stronger hardware than the PSX, so it isn't antes excuse for that cancellation. The true reason (i suppose) was due to the Dreamcast launch months after that, not hardware issues.

Thanks for clarifying that information as I'm getting an ultra hdmi n64 I was worried after this video as Res 2 was one of my favourites on the n64 compared to the playstation

dude...HAVING NO PARASITE EVE in PS2 was a HUGE TURN DOWN for me at that time. Dino crisis was also a good game back in the day.

@@evilzinabyssranger5695 thats true. But with the sucess of RE 2 Remake already, there's a huge possibilty to bring them back, including RE 3 Nemesis. I hope . I still play these games ^^

This, and Half Life 2 for Xbox.

I mean the gba being able to run re2 in its entirety is way to advanced but okay. Thatd your opinion.

Baka Uploads But the GBA couldn’t, it could run a small demo without any FMVs. Cramming that many backgrounds into a GBA cart would be fairly easily achievable, but even with the technology of today the FMVs simply wouldn’t fit. I mean... maybe... if they used the data storage like GBA video carts, it might be possible, but it would take a lot of work and would downgrade the game a lot.

Res evil ds ?

@@retroboy-fh1ji that's not even remotely close to re2 on n64. Xbox didn't have space constraints,on the contrary there was plenty of hdd space if needed, p3 level cpu performance and decent gpu. Like Doom3 ran beautifully on it. But compress about 1200mb data to 24. That's something absolutely next level and that hl2 running on xbox. Nothing compared to that. And yeah, I'm pc and xbox guy and dislike nintendo.

Compression formats aren't a silver-bullet. OGG, PNG and H265 require a chunk of CPU time to decompress, I do not think these would have been a smart choice on something like the N64 (if they were available). I expect the developers went with the best options available to them at that time (which in the N64's case would have been make-your-own-N64-format). The only reason OGG and PNG are acceptable these days is because we have powerful processors with lots of memory. H265 is a good candidate for modern hardware decoding, so that can even be offloaded these days.

HEVC is passion, HEVC is life. I compressed all my video files into this format. Lost no quality, but gained 2TB of space back. Now i want HEVC 2.0.....

@@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233 And you play all those video files on a N64 or very similar spec hardware?

Yeah, but try to decode H265 on the PS1 hardware and you set the thing on fire

No, tons of early games used different resolutions for menus.

There's plenty Mega Drive and Super Nintendo games that do it too, mostly just higher resolutions in the menus though.

Yes you can call it that, a developer of the game did say how it calculate what resolution it will run on how many zombies and what type of zombies are on screen but the reason the item menu is 240p because it does not scale well to 480i.

No. The Xbox (2001) because John said that the game The Chronicles of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay used that technique in-game for the first time in gaming history to free GPU resources and handle better graphics than anything on that consoles of the era. Its present as a fragment of the Wolfenstein 2 Switch version analysis.

if you mean "enhance", as in "run ugly photoshop filters on top of the low-res BGs"... then yeah.

@@GugureSux some filter are pretty good, just google
