go tell Aunt Rhody that we have a new RE community member

Resident Evil isn’t just a game, it’s a way of life

As an old cynical RE vet get it absolutely warms my heart seeing a newcomer enjoy what these games. I hope you check out 7 and 8 and one day the original REmake as it is survival horror perfection.

“These games will constantly keep your heart, PUSSY, and brain pounding” 😭caught me so off guard I had to sub immediately

I'm so happy with the comment section. Everyone seems to be happy that there's new people into the series. No gatekeeping or hate just everyone happy sharing the same passion with a game. Proud to be part of that

welcome to the family son!

So interesting to hear the point of view of a person discovering RE through the remakes. Welcome to the family son 💋

I love seeing people experience Resident Evil for the first time. This was an awesome video and I hope you play more of the RE games. The ones that I think you should 100% play are of course RE7 and RE8. But also playing RE4 original before the remake could make you appreciate the changes in the remake more, or maybe even end up preferring the original. That being said I think all the 'mainline' RE games are worth playing they're all good in their own ways.

As a old resident evil head that is still in love and obsessed with the series now as I was back then, I recommend you definelty look into playing the older titles! Tons of fascinating lore and adventuring to be done! :D have fun getting more into the series!

Welcome to the fandom. I've been a fan of Resident Evil since 00. Original RE3: Nemesis was my first RE game, so I've played all the classic games all the way to Village. I'm happy you enjoyed both remakes, and especially 3's remake because it's definitely underrated and I preferred it to 2's remake. If you haven't played the remake of 1, I suggest you do so because that's probably the definitive "perfect" Resident Evil game. I too am looking forward to the RE4R (even though I hold the original in VERY high regard and feel the game did not need a remake)

this is a really well put together vid, happy you enjoy the series! its very easy to get lost in

Welcome to the Resident Evil community. Now get ready for all the tank controls once you play the older games

The beginning of your video hit with me on so many levels. I just started getting into the RE universe about a month ago, and OH MAN I CANNOT put these down. RE2 remake is probably my favorite. But remake 3 has its holy shit moments for sure! Going back to RPD in 3 gave me goosebumps and brought a whole new level of unease in a place I was much familiar with before. I highly recommend RE7. The scariest for sure in the series but IT DELIVERS. Also it’s needed as RE8 village is a direct sequel. Both are AMAZING games on their own and full of surprises along the way! Overall im hella excited for RE4! Can’t believe it has taken me this long to get into the series but SO glad I did. I can honestly say, CAPCOM you have made me into a huge fan! Loved this video! I hope you venture into the Winters saga and look forward to hearing/watching your reactions to those games!

As someone who has also recently gotten into Resident Evil, I can agree with all of the points you made. RE2 and RE3 remakes are both excellent games and truly define their genre. However if you decide to play RE7 just know you’re in for a real treat. The jump to first person is amazing and the gameplay is just as good, it also truly embraces the horror aspect of the series as it holds some of the most horrifying experiences I’ve had playing video games 😂

I got introduced to this series by playing RE4 on the vr and I was instantly hooked in less than a day. The story and world these games provide are super interesting and entertaining. You should definitely play RE4 it’s one of the best ones I’ve played along with the original remake

I've been a RE fan for over 20 years and this video really rekindled my love for the series. It's almost as if I'm discovering the games for the first time all over again, which can be a sparse treat. Thank you for that.

I actually just wrapped up my first run through with Leon in RE2 remake earlier tonight. As a new fan myself, I’m just as impressed and immersed in this series as you are. Unlike horror films, I don’t really check out the horror-survival genre of video games (mainly because I’m a scaredy cat on that front). But having never played any of the RE games before, I wanted to challenge myself a bit. I jumped several times and can still hear Mr. X stalking me throughout the police station but I kept pushing myself because I was so fascinated with the story and the world that it was creating. Needless to say, I’m stoked to start Claire’s run, hop into RE3’s remake soon after and then await RE4’s remake next spring!

You should play RE1 remake if you want the definitive survival horror experience!

When you’re already a re fan for 6 years but still watched the whole vid moment:

Always good to see people getting into the series. It's my absolute favorite and I hope you enjoy the rest of the games.

As a fan of this series for over 20 years, it gives me great joy to know that it is still drawing in new fans! Great video, and welcome to the absolute joy of Resident Evil! I recommend giving the originals a play through, especially the remake of the first game. That one is a pure survival horror masterpiece!

I played the original REmake just a couple months ago. I’ve now completed 12 RE games (many of them multiple times) and consider myself nothing short of obsessed

"Resident Evil is my newest hyperfixatiom" OMG YOU PUT IT INTO WORDS PERFECTLY I've also finally been getting into and obsessing over RE lately but with some of the older games but AYYY welcome to the club

and resident evil has come back in the last 7 years with a VENGENCE! couldnt be more happy

THIS GUY'S CHANNEL IS SO UNDERRATED! His Content is amazing, keep up the good work!

this is EXACTLY how ive been getting into the RE world over the past few days,

YOU'RE IN FOR A REAL TREAT WITH THIS SERIES

You’ve articulated everything that got me into the series. My brother bought the remake double pack during the lockdowns and we became obsessed. We have not played 5,6, 7, and 8. I am currently halfway through 4. And I plan on playing the originals and CV as well

So happy to hear another person falling in love with Resident Evil. Went through the whole seires with a friend who hates horror recently and it was amazing to see his response and love for the series grow. It's a special series, enjoy the rest of the games!

This was how I became a fan of the series, I bought both remakes on the same day for dirt cheap, played them and absolutely adored them then went on to experience the rest and as of now I'm a massive fan and cannot wait for Re4make

Dude, I literally just completed RE2 2nd run last night and its as if you took my thoughts and feelings towards these games right out of my brain and created an awesome video. Thanks to RE2 and RE3 remakes, RE has become my new favorite videogame series.

NEW FAN WOOOOO !! Welcome to the community!! I love seeing a person find the game this way, I myself found the game through my dads old Resident Evil games. That’s how Resident Evil: Code Veronica became my first played Resident Evil game in 2012, I hope to see more thoughts about the games you play in the future!!

This is the perfect time to play Resident Evil 4 Original!

My first resident evil game was re4 vr. It was very great and scary. I remember meeting verdugo and the regenerators and it was the scariest shit i ever played in vr.

I am a RE die hard and you did so well! The "RE Engine" actually means "Reach for the Moon" fyi 😅😂 I'm glad you liked RE3R as people loves to sht on it...I played the og RE3 and YES, it has some letdowns but it was still an amazing video game nonetheless. The RE series is full of fantastic games and media so I hope you enjoy them too (the movies are awesome imho) 😀👊🏻

Brooo I also started playing RE2 about a week ago. On Black Friday I saw RE2 and 3 on a discount and thought to myself: "Eh, might give it a shot" even though I was never invested in any of the characters or the story. A friend of mine recommended these games to me for the longest time but I always thought they seemed boring for some weird reason. But when I got those Black Friday deals... Oh boy he was damn right about these games. I finished RE2 with Leon and Claire in just 4 days and finished RE3 the next 2 days. It was a blast to play. Everything felt planned out and on point. Mr X almost gave me a heart attack when I first saw him and Nemesis basically is Mr X on crack so he scared me even more. Since The Last of Us 1 and 2 I haven't felt such a strong connection to any single player game (maybe because I havent played too many singleplayer games except for Skyrim which is amazing in its on way too) but these games rekindled my love for horror/survival games. I never thought I'd find a game as compelling as TLOU but RE2 and 3 really compete with TLOU for my favorite video games of all time. And yeah, after I heard about the RE4 remake I was hyped as never before because so many people believe it to have redefined the genres of horror/action/survival and that it set a new standard for video games. I also thought about giving RE5 and 6 a try but looking at the reviews I dont know if they would be able to compare with the remakes. Well, I started RE7 yesterday and it is the scariest part by far (at least for now) and I'm really looking forward to RE8 even though I'm mainly hyped on being able to play as Leon/Claire/Jill/Carlos again in some future installment. Let's hope RE9 or maybe even RE10 will give us these characters everyone has started to love. Everyone should at least try out the RE series, it's amazing once you get invested in the story and the characters, so if you haven't already, give it a shot! To anyone who managed to read through my long-ass post, this is for you 🍪

I've been a Resident Evil fan for a very long time my friend and I can tell you that you've stepped foot into an amazing community 💪🏻💯

welcome to the club man. Resident evil directors cut hooked me when I was a kid on ps1, and it makes me so happy to see the recent return to form.

I loved this video so much. Your style is very comforting and feels like home somehow. And then I looked at your channel and this is only your second video??? That’s crazy. I hope you keep making more great videos like this one.

I'd never really interacted with the re series before because I'm not a big horror game fan but when I saw the first trailer for the re4 remake, I was instantly intrigued so I bought the original on my switch. I can't say I'm very good at the game, but I absolutely adore the characters. one of the best series I've ever had the luck of getting into

As a hardcore Re fan, I can say this video was the best way to get more people to like RE, Resident Evil is special, when you get into it, you are never getting out that is for sure.. And please play the Original trilogy(Holy Trinity)...You will like it for sure..subbed🔥

The problem RE3 wasnt a worthy remake, u'd love this franchise even more now if it woulda been better😏

I've been playing RE since the ps1 era, the game keeps reinventing itself, improving on the formula, it's almost like decades and I still enjoy capcom's RE.

Ya know what? Welcome to the Resident Evil family, if u wanna try , play the old school games too, u might become a bigger fan

I actually discovered and became a fan back in 06, during the early days of KZfaq when everyone was making RE4 music video edits

As a longtime RE fan since the original RE2 I bid you welcome. Always happy when we have newcomers joining the fandom and enjoying these fantastic games. And yes you definitely need to play 7 and Village, but you should also try the original REmake and the original Resident Evil 4. The original REmake may be a little harder to get used to since it is in the classic survival horror style but you definitely must experience it as well. As for the original RE4, it's a no brainer, it is one of the best in the series and would give you better appreciation for the changes in the upcoming remake.

Actually same! I became a HUGE fan in a week by just trying RE3 remake, now it’s my favorite game franchise

You've gotta start with the 2002 RE1 remake. The grove you're in by the end of the game translates so well to RE2 remake without missing a beat, it's insane. I'd do Code Veronica and 0 once you've finished 3, then 4, Revelations 1, 5, 6, Revelations 2, 7 and 8. There are also fully-canon animated films which take place in the middle era of the franchise.

7 really got me into it a few years back, now I've taken down almost all of them, I'm in love with them now

as a fan since 1998, welcome friend. it is a great series. I love solving puzzles using my brain to think, having the survival elements of item management, the enemies and of course the main characters, Leon, Claire, Jill, etc.) can't wait for RE4 remake.

Same man! Never played one up until 7 and when I did, I was just hooked. Bought all the others within a span of like a week. The style of gameplay, the lore, the characters and like you said the FUN. Instantly became one of my new favorite series.

Resident Evil is one of those gaming franchises that you really have to experience even if you’re not a fan of the genre

I enjoy seeing people getting into RE series! Please do make another video after experiencing RE7&8! I love your video!

These games will constantly keep your what- 😟😳 6:25

I'll tell you the coolest part of the movies so you never have to watch em. The main chick is essentially a weapon that can be controlled by umbrella. Basically I don't even remember which movie but in one of them the lead and her group are fighting off zombies, then umbrella literally shuts her off so she now is frozen in the last fight of the movie and it ends there. Pretty cool cliffhanger, the rest of the movies are eh tho it's really cool to see a schoolbus kick some zombie ass

I started my first RE with RE3 Remake and 2 Remake in September 2021, and now have essentially played them all by Feb. 2022 lol

5:34 don't know if this was intentional or not but the "and if you really want to be an asshole" reminded me of cosmonaut variety hour talking about Star Wars 😆

I hope the algorithm continues to bless you, you deserve it. This video is fantastic

YOU HAVE NOW ENTER THE WORLD OF SURVIVAL HORROR, dan the zam, GOOD LUCK.

Just saw this video in my recommended feed. Welcome to the family, son! I've been a huge fan of the series since RE4 came out on the Wii. My best friend brought it over to show me, and I played a bit of it and thought it was wild, though I never actually beat it until relatively recently. My first games in the series I finished were 5 and 6 (not the best representations of the rest of the series, but they're honestly probably my favorites because they're a blast with a friend), and now with the addition of the remakes, I've played 0 through 8 as well as Revelations 1 in some form or another, be it a remake or the original. I really hope they also remake Code Veronica, as most people agree it's basically a mainline title despite not being numbered, and it's the only mainline game I've not played yet at all. If you haven't by now, I definitely recommend playing through the Resident Evil 1 remake. You've got a lot of great and crazy games to enjoy now!

I'm a huge resident evil van and I have both next-gen consoles and I have all the remakes in all the residential games on both next-gen consoles and it really seems like they're going the right direction with the resident evil series

I swear resident evil hits different than other “zombie/monster/horror games, the fact that bullets are very limited, makes you feel more vulnerable unlike other games that you have like a hundred ammo and pretty much shoot every zombie you see

“Just a guy” you wait until you mean Chris the boulder puncher

A new Resident Evil fan deserves lots of old Resident Evil fan subscribers.

I've been a Resident Evil fan for over 20 years. And just want to say welcome stranger ha ha ha ha

I have been playing RE since 1998, fell in love with this amazing saga and as a long time fan Im really glad you found a way to enjoy them. So welcome to the club ;)

I have done speedruns of re2 and village so many times, playing the entire game over and over again to try and beat my times on the hardest difficulty I have got all the achievements for re2 in literally one day, I love this game, actually amazing

Congrats on being a fledgling to one of the greatest franchises of all time. There's so much games and media to consume.The franchise isn't just tuned into survival horror & puzzle solving. There's also a big picture themes of the influences of evil corporations, secret organizations, and Politics involved. Not to mention the best game novelizations by SD Perry of the best characters in fiction just trying to survive this unforgettable nightmare setting.

Welcome to the family boy! It's always great to see a newcomer... I can tell you that I became a RE fan in like 5 min. When I was a kid, a friend and I were playing on his PS, when his older brother came and take us out cause he was gonna play a new game that he just bought, my friend went to accuse him with his mom, but I stayed at the livin room watching the intro of that game and I got traumatized, it was Resident Evil (1996). I didn't had a PS back then, so the first RE I was able to play was RE2, thanks to a cousin, we finished RE2 together, although tbh he finished it, then I played RE3 on PC, it was the first game I finished by myself and the game that obsessed me into gaming... and I also became an adict to RE3, to the point I was able to play the game without lookin at the screen... good old times.

Literally just bought RE2, 3, and a bundle with 4,5,and 6 to get into this series. I bought RE1 and 0 a few years ago but never got around to playing them. I will now.

Capcom need to realise that the whole reason the RE franchise is popular is due to the relatable urban setting with ominous ambience

I’m playing through the resident evil remakes, 7 and village on my steam deck. “Chef’s kiss”

That beginning clip is enough to make me buy every resident evil game. Great vid

I've been a Resident Evil fan since 1998 and it is so refreshing to hear a new fan as earnestly excited for this series as I was during those first playthroughs. Great video!

ive been a fan for like almost my whole life, theres so much content in the lore, the games are so fun and all, it’ll become one of ur fave franchises ever

It is a breath of fresh air to hear somebody not shit talk resident evil three remake. I realize things changed, but it’s still a fun game.

I got into RE in 2019 after the remake released, watched all videos about the plot of the whole series, character arcs etc. Now I'm a resident evil nerd who has never played one of the games, but is so in love with everything that goes on in it

I’ve been a resident evil fan since the beginning of time.

The reason I fell in love with Resident Evil way back when was the desire to learn more, explore more. Both the world and the characters. The games are so rewarding to those who check every nook and cranny. I love them so much.

3 days? I accomplished this in under 7 hours, it is I who must claim the title of quickest fan.

Glad you like them bro!!! Can’t wait for you to play all the RE games and give us more reviews

As a long term fan, welcome! I would recommend the older games to you still, as most are pretty fun when you get used to the systems, and the remakes do a decent job getting you into resource and map planning when you go to navigate your way to something. The older games are dated, but what isn’t after 20+ years? The stories and the accomplishment were so much more. A Zelda fan and me switch playing games, I’d never played Zelda before. And the puzzles and huge castles were fun to explore and sneak around. As a re fan that still finds enjoyment replaying, I could also see Loz being in that. We just don’t trade because one looks like it’s for children and the other looks scary. Bot series are quite enjoyable. I only mad him play up to yawn on directors cut but he wanted to play and replay the original 2 and 3 he liked it so much. He told me he understood why I played it so much. I told him he still needs to play fucking 444444444444444

I've played every single RE game on release day going back to the very first on the PlayStation 1. I'm pleased to see the remakes/reboots bringing in new fans, fans are the lifeblood of the series and the more followers buying the games then the more games we will get.

Rezzy franchise has so much entertainment from the games, movies, shows and comics.

Same for me. I didn't know anything about Resident Evil, but last year I played the remakes of 2 & 3 for Halloween... I haven't had that much fun in games for a long time.

It's so sweet watching someone new in the RE community as a novice myself! It wasn't long ago that I played the original REmake of 1, and I've finished the OG 2 this year! (still playing the OG 3 as I'm writing this), but I'm absolutely IN LOVE with the franchise. You should try the aforementioned REmake of 1, just so you have the original trilogy all checked off the list, but welcome to this fascinating world!!

This same exact thing literally just happened after trying out the RE2 remake and just finishing 4R yesterday. Definitely trying 8 sometime soon but now I just can’t get my mind off of how much fun I’ve been having with them

It’s so crazy to think that I was born the same year RE4 was released

Keeping my what pounding? Edit: so after watching the full vid I have to say that it's refreshing to see a newcomer to the series describe it for what it is. No comparison to the old games, just straight joy for what he just played. Both RE2 and RE3 original are still better games than their remakes but that's when you nick pic. RE3 remake is missing around 70% of the game btw. I would love to see you play RE0, RE1, RE2 and RE3 original, RE4 original and remake when it comes out, RE5 (skip RE6 pls... Don't touch that game), RE7 and RE8. The games have huge replayability due to their unlockables and unlimited ammo unlocks which can make the game fun if you like to shred or blow everything up. Don't even get me started on knife only runs. I'm subbing and looking forward to the Resident Evil videos. :)

They are really that good, as far as I"m concerned too. I've played the originals, the new ones are a bit nerve biting, alot more realistic, more intense too. When the chopper crashes into the RPD police station in RE 2, it's not a cinematic, it's happening real-time and sounds/feels like something large really came plummeting from the sky and the whole area shutters and shakes, it's jumpy when you are wearing earphones.

Just found this video in my recommendations. Here to relate to this title. I first played resident evil 2 remake in 2020 and watched playthroughs of the 2002 remake. As of this day, I have beat the remakes of re2 and re3, played through resident evil 5 and 6, played some of 7 and all of village. And beat resident evil 4 first on vr, second on PC and third on playstation. The remake is next on the chopping block.

New RE fan hell yeah, I’ve been one ever since I saw my older brother played the original RE 2 and RE: Survivor when I was 6 and scared the hell out of me XD. Later on in life as we got older, I watched him play 4 original a lot, we played 5, 6 and Operation Raccoon city together and enjoyed the hell out of them because of how stupid and hilarious they were. Now I’m in my early 20s and he’s in his late 20s and wish I could just have one more moment of playing RE with him for old times sake. Anyways, little story aside oh man you’re stepping into a horrifying, dark and over the top series where you’ll encounter B.O.W.S and other monstrosities in different parts of the world. But yeah having played most of the games, there will be moments of pure TENSION and TERROR so be vigilant and ready to use your weapon lol. Sorry if this was long; remember to have fun playing (dramatic voice) RESIDENT EVIL

I think you not being a horror fan is a great piece of information and context. That makes sense. I’ve been a horror fanatic my whole life so I’ve been playing RE since day one on PS1. Makes sense that people avoid it who don’t like horror but it’s so much more than that, like you said. Welcome to the club. Can’t wait for RE4 remake

2:16 Indeed, it was a nightmare. Those voice acting, those cutscenes... It was tough. It was a literal nightmare when a first play them, and I was only 5yo thinking "how the hell is this so ugly?" For reference: my first """"""""""horror""""""""" game was phantasmagoria with me and my dad playing together after dinner before we could go to sleep. When I saw Resident Evil, i really didn't feel anything besides "this is ugly... at least is fun as hell" and that's what stick to me. The level design, the puzzles, the "combat", the texts. Because fear was lacking. xD

Not sure how old you are, but it makes me happy to see that younger peeps are giving this series a chance. I still prefer the OG RE games over anything, but the RE2 remake is nothing short of an engineering marvel. More gamers need to watch this.

I wanted to welcome you to the family, but I see others have commented that exact thing already ^_^ I don't know exactly what it is but this video makes me feel proud. Proud of you for getting into the games and making this really good video, proud of the games, and of the fandom in general, haha! :D I think what really stands out about this series as opposed to other games in the same genre is the characters. You become a fan of Leon, of Claire, of Jill, or someone else. These characters are so fleshed out and different from each other, and eventually you'll realize you'll have a favorite. Mine are Ada and Leon, in that order. You may not be a horror game type of person but you still may have a special preference for some of these characters because they stand out so much. I hope you'll enjoy whatever game you go for next, and I'd love an update or review from you of the other RE games :)

Welcome to the club mate! Resi is my favourite game series of ALL TIME! I’ve been playing since the first game on the PS1, so yeah, I’m that guy 😂. It’s great that new people like yourself are discovering it and falling in love with it as I and millions of others have. I strongly recommend 7 & 8 too, they’re tremendous games. Irregardless of the naysayers, I recommend 5 & 6 too, they’re a lot of fun with a greater emphasis on action; to be fair it makes sense canonically as by this point the characters involved are veterans so dealing with these threats is practically 2nd nature. Keep up the great work on your videos 👊🏾🔥💫

Ironically, the 1st & 2nd *RE films* AND *Resident Evil: Outbreak* are the ones that introduced me to RE series and becomes a fan.

nice to have some more people in the re community edit: welcome to the family son

I got introduced to Resident Evil through RE2 on the N64, I remember being in your shoes because at a young age I didn't care for the series, but I ended up revisiting the series and fell in love with it and became a fan very quickly! Awesome video!
