I'm actually shocked the decapitated head is in the Japanese release. Hasn't decapitations in media been a huge no no in Japan since the 80's? It's why RE4's chainsaw death animation is censored.

​@@tacticaljunk1608o don't understand where the line is drawn. Clearly in anime they do whatever the f they want. Devilman crybaby, chainsaw man, goblin slayer, promised neverland.There's countless animes that are way more graphic than Hollywood. Past and present. Is it just video games that are censored? I'm pretty sure even their movies are still f'd up. Battle royal and 13 assassin's come to mind.

He mentioned the ESRB. Remember, this was only 3 years after the Congressional Hearings for Mortal Kombat and other violent games. The censorship was most likely a bit of an overreaction to that to play it safe.

I was born and raised in Japan. The difference between Japan and America is that Japan is much more strict when it comes to gore/violence but lenient when it comes to pedophilia. Don’t get this wrong, not that pedophilia is accepted in Japan, it’s in fact very illegal but it’s much more lenient when it comes to “publication” policy regarding pedophilia.

@@shanetaylor761 They draw the line at Video Games. Movies and tv can have decapitation (but it'll be the equivalent of an R. No loopholes for fantasy like LotR or Star Wars). With Video Games because you control it, they take a harder line.

The Saturn has the cool Battle Mode with a lot of extras as an apology for the delays. Like a zombified Wesker, two Tyrant fight at the same time, etc. I personally spent a lot of time in this Battle Mode back in my childhood. Also another cool thing about it: Every single release of this game has different bonuses for when completing the game and nearly all are exclusive to their respective release (I'm taking into account re-releases), sadly nearly all are just different clothes aside the PC version, which has two extra weapons.

I downloaded that very video in high school in wonderful Real Media format, all compressed as hell, and was in awe of how awesome(ly bad) it was!

Biohazard did not include a colored intro. It was always in black and white. The only thing they changed in Director's Cut was remove all the licensed music.

Every non english version had captions for every spoken English word.

More than likely they did a mistake before the shipping

The X is universal, especially in disaster situations. FEMA uses a red X system to convey information about houses after hurricanes here in the south.

Kingdom Hearts is an example of that; it took me a while to get used to it (and then again when I changed back to the Spanish version lol).

I don't get why international markets have to screw with that. X is a perfectly understood symbol of 'no' everywhere, is it not?

No it's not

Sometimes X means end or target etc

Yeah, it destroyed his throat/spinal area so Kenneth was never gonna get back up.

That was always clear. Even without the cutscene showing the head drop, it's still laying there after the cutscene ends.

Forrest too. I believe Forrest only becomes a zombie on very hard mode in RE directors cut. In all other versions he doesn’t reanimate.

Forest can become a zombie in Deadly Silence rebirth mode.

​@@alwillk Forest also zombifies in the remake. Though, I think the only reason they could justify not zombifying Kenneth in the REmake (considering he only gets his throat torn out) is the little lore plot convenience of 10% of the population being immune to the T virus.

Actually the "clowns farting in the basement" music was not a problem with the music itself or the composition. It was a bug in the code that caused the wrong sound font to be selected. The Playstation used MIDI for music. Using the wrong sound font (instruments) can have rather hilarious results. There is a video where someone did nothing but correct the sound font, and it sounds exactly as it should.

Yes. It’s awesome. The only thing not patched back in was the pictures of what you’re reading in the background when looking at documents.

Does it have auto aim and more ink ribbons for saves?

@@SomePotatoauto aim yes, unsure about the ribbons.

@@StormsparkPegasusWhich they clearly needed to do because it is one of their top, if not their top, intellectual property.

Besides Resident Evil sounds unique up to this day.

​@Ismayamelasrana2 Plus, it still makes sense to this day. Most games in the series are about residents that are evil.

@@alfo2804True, but many of the hazards in these games are biological.

Did you know that there is a prototype version of re1 on ps1 This version dates back to February 8, 1996 What is special about this version is that it has a censorship of blood, as zombie blood is green This feature never saw the light of day until the game was ported on the Nintendo DS , although this prototype is USA version It have auto aim and the player runs by pressing the X button , and the game can be played from beginning to end. It is basically a complete game With minor differences Also, the debug menu is in the game Because the developers did not remove it until the release date

did they add a bunch of this back in with the directors cut version?

@@scwintz101 I don "t think so

@@scwintz101 Original mode in Director's Cut brought back the original ink ribbon count and dialed the enemies down to be almost entirely like in the original Japanese version (though for some reason reason they undid that in Dual Shock Edition). Hunters seem to be more fragile than in the original Japanese release and outside arranged mode, though. Also, auto-aim was brought back. The German and French Director's Cut versions don't have censored intros; which includes having them fully colored. Deadly Silence has the unaltered Kenneth death scene. It also has those background images for the files. The difficulty labels under Chris and Jill are included. There are two control options in Deadly Silence and the Japanese version defaults to the y button being used as action and b button for running. Though you can switch control options in both Japanese and international. The Japanese version of Director's Cut actually doesn't have the normal and hard labels in arrange mode.

I feel you could at some other time compare the Japanese and international Saturn versions to their respective pre-Director's Cut PlayStation counterparts. It isn't just a mater of the exclusive Battle Game mode or the Saturn version having worse models. For starters, the Japanese Saturn version uses the same character roll and ending theme from the international PlayStation version. It contains two unique costumes you can't find in any PlayStation release, Deadly Silence, nor the PC version. To make up for that, the PC port (along with Deadly Silence) has its own costumes. A couple of backgrounds were given tweaks that aren't just changing the coloration. In the catacombs, the Hunters are remodeled into the likely non-canon Tick enemy. There are two things to note. The first is that they have no qualms with using the decapitation move at close range. Also, they reduced the two Hunters to just one Tick in the room that Enrico dies at during Chris's story; likely for balance purposes. The Japanese version is even more ruthless than the Japanese PlayStation release, German and French Director's Cut, and the uncensored PC releases (with the English version being the only official uncensored release in the US). When Plant 42 kills Jill or Chris in the international editions, the screen fades to white like it usually does. However, the Japanese version actually shows the player character get sliced in half. Only the uncensored PC releases and Deadly Silence kept the animation fully visible. Also, it seems only the Japanese Saturn version shows the dead character getting devoured. The international versions have the zombie just stand there; which is also different from all other ports. There are a few scenes that have altered the character audio and modified one of the songs during a story moment. When Chris or Jill meets up with Wesker in the guard house, they added in an extra note to the music or tweaked a small part of it. During a run on Jill's bad ending, there is a secret scene you can unlock at the guard house. If the requirements are met, Jill will eavesdrop on Barry behind the door. Normally you can just hear Barry arguing at someone. In the Saturn release and PC editions, Wesker can actually be heard responding. A video titled 'Resident Evil (1996) - Barry voice differences (Saturn vs PlayStation)' demonstrates that. While a video titled 'Resident Evil - PC - Windows 95 Exclusive costumes and weapons for both Jill and Chris! + Bonus' not only demonstrates the Ingram machine gun I've mentioned elsewhere (with Chris's Minimi being nearly identical functionally), but after halfway through the video shows that Wesker can be heard responding to Barry just like with the Saturn port. Also, there's an alternate Barry line take after he kills off Plant 42 for Jill. One last thing, it seems they replaced the stairs walking animations.

It's not unreleased. The end of the song is in English

@@Viichan777 Indeed, they do speak some english at the latter part of the song, but the lyrics don't match the original song. For example, Jill's bit fits the 0:36～0:38 part of the full track, and yet the lyrics are different. The only part that matches is Wesker's one.

The instrumental sounds like a final fantasy 7 boss battle..

@@sabo-vf3xj Yes, I went looking for the Japanese lyrics to "Icy Gaze" and they don't match what was being shown at that point in this video at all, so I guess they are from a separate English version; is that version really not available anywhere?

@@realQuestion Nope. As far as I know only the japanese version was released.

A few months ago I played the German version (European Pal version audio edition English with German subtitles) and it's exactly the same with the colored intro. I think all European (German, French, Spanish, etc.) PAL versions of the game had this colored intro and even the background images for reports, diary entries, etc. Only the directors cut edition, regardless of whether it was NTSC or PAL, had the longer black and white intro from the original Japanese version of the game.

@@Justforvisit Dude, true

It heard that older capcom games were made more difficult in the west to prevent people from finishing them within a single rental period, since renting games was popular in the west at the time.

@@Schmoseph Video game rental is in fact illegal in Japan. So they likely looked at rental far more harshly than western companies.

Due to rentals during the time, it is likely the difficulty was artificially altered to keep you renting it, Video Game Rentals are illegal in Japan due to lobbying in the 80's from rampant Game piracy. There was an amendment to the copyright law, thus making it illegal.

All Japanese games are easier than other regions

Nah, you just hear about the times the Japanese version was harder. Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason. Like in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance where Japan had Normal, Hard, and Maniac mode but the international release removed Maniac and added Easy. But then the sequel Radiant Dawn also had Japan with Normal, Hard, and Maniac and international had Easy, Normal, and Hard but unlike Radiant Dawn no difficulty mode was added or removed, so English Normal was Japanese Hard. This lead to Radiant Dawn in the west having one of the most infamous difficulty spikes between games in Fire Emblem history.

The Uk PAL directors cut had the head but not half eaten it just rolls to the side if i remember rightly..

It was basically a rule in the 90s that Japanese games and anime had a pop song or ballad in the ending credits, no matter the genre.

@@thatcarguy6190 i'm really not sure with the zombie scene in my head it didn't happen but could be. :-D i was 13 when i played it so yeah... been a while

Interesting that you mentioned Night of the Living Dead, 'cause George Romero and Resident Evil both have a pretty strong connection--the former once planned on making a movie based on the latter, before Paul W.S. Anderson eventually helmed the film series, with his eventual wife-to-be Milla Jovovich playing the protagonist. Additionally, Romero's script was initially going to focus on series icon Jill Valentine instead of the OC Alice Marcus. Today, we've got 2021's Welcome to Raccoon City, which itself is a reboot featuring Jill Valentine and the Redfields, and an upcoming documentary about George Romero's unmade Resident Evil film.

I like the name *Resident Evil.*

​​@@thatsruffdogyet the original was Bio Hazard it was just changed due to a band/other games name so I agree with Biohazard

It sounds like it was made for a Korean Drama instead of a horror game. Especially those lyrics in the credits that have nothing to do with the game whatsoever.

I agree with yo ass ma dawg

Fun fact about the RE 4 censorship in Japan; its borderline ILLEGAL to show a decapitation in any media if it's done via bladed weapon in Japan. It's because of Japan's history with ritual beheading and its imperial ties. Its the same reason why a lot of Japanese media does not glorify the military unlike western media. In Japan, you can watch a character getting their head bitten off, shot off, torn off, etc but CAN'T show them being beheaded with a sword or, in RE4's case, a chainsaw.

It does get the "Resident Evil" vibe across... *shudder*

That section has been blurred through youtube's tools. Was wondering why.

@@ThePensiveWalrusbecause enough people complained probably

The Japanese Saturn version has its own unique artwork even compared to the other versions. The first version of Resident Evil in the US had not just the jewel case version on PlayStation, but also the earlier longbox edition. Safe to say the longboxes were not well made and Sony ditched them generally quickly. I also prefer how the jewel case version overall looks. Also, there's a White Label version for Europe on PlayStation. I also wonder why he can't just go with images if he's concerned about the budget. Heck, he has to also keep in mind there are big box editions in both Japan and North America for the PC version. There's even the lost White Label PC version for Australia (with the European version looking similar, but does not have the age classification sticker at the front nor does it mention 3DFX cards on the front). The main art on the big box feeling like a big post stamp. He might find it difficult to get the Japanese PC big box or even that White Label release.

Oh, yeah, Korea and China had their own box art for the PC release. Korea's big box is inspired by the North American Saturn box art, but has official art of Jill and Chris plastered next to the zombie. Also, the jewel case has the same Jill and Chris art in front of a white background. As for China, it was actually published by Ubisoft Shanghai. They seem to have two versions; one that's a very stylized take on the original Japanese PlayStation cover. The other inspired by the North American box art for the first version of Resident Evil on PlayStation. Both have white borders at both bottom and top. With the bottom white border having the tagline "Every adventure has a beginning". Also, it appears the CD came in an actual DVD case.

​@@Zeldarulahhe made one video about it

And if you get tired of that, Biorand exists.

That's part of what I love about that theme.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. It's obviously quite a bit earlier, but it's so similar that you'd be hard pressed to argue that it's a coincidence. Wouldn't be the only bit of music on a first party dreamcast game to border on plagiarism: the music that plays during matches in Virtua Tennis is made up of two sections that sound suspiciously similar to "Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting" and "Mountainside" by Elton John and Wishbone Ash, respectively.

US gaming magazines at the time were furious that the directors cut was still censored

there is no such thing as a comfort zone

I instantly went to the comments to see if someone else said something. So weird, there are so many stock photos of generic office spaces and stuff like that, don't know why you'd use this horrible Ai shit
