Note from me:
This video has been an endless nightmare of trying to find an editor to fully commit to finishing the work. Lots of roadblocks and delays in the way. Thankfully, a new editor, @byjucci, was able to pick up the project from its partially- complete editing state and wrap things up!!! Huge thanks to him. He hustled to complete it, day and night, and was able to do so in a shorter span of time than I thought possible. He saved the project. Now it is here for you to enjoy. My God, it's about time this project came to fruition.

Yay, it's finally here! Been waiting to hear your thoughts on this novel, as it's one of my favourites in the S.D. Perry series. I'm glad you gave Karen's transformation a special mention, because that part is truly heartbreaking and really shows Perry's ability to convey emotion through her characters, not to mention her knack for describing the loss of one's humanity (in the vein of such files as the Keeper's Diary). Another thing that's notable (as a bit of trivia) is that the Trisquads are actually the series' first true gun-toting BOWs, Caliban Cove having been released over a year before RE Survivor (which featured the Trashsweepers) - another instance of S.D. Perry being ahead of her time. Anyways, loved the video Beggy, excellent work as always!

"Chris kicked the now dead licker off him, in relief - and was surprised as it wasn't Barry who had killed it but several bearded men with hats and AKs. With no opportunity given to speak, they quickly bundled him out of the room as they all ran together - saying: "Al aywa Al masri ba meenihim bin shaytaan!" Chris had no idea that it meant "we must leave quickly, soon approaches the eyes of the devil" but he did see William Birkin Type G tear down the door and pursue them." - Resident Evil, Taliban Cove

Great video!. I noticed the sometimes intentional reinventing of various Resident Evil stories such as Revelations 2 having a very similar story to Code Veronica. - Also Umbrella must have had a lot of rogue scientists with god like aspirations because there was also Morpheus D. Duvall and Greg Mueller in the Outbrake games.

Very true, godhood and immortality is the goal of so many RE villains. And those are good examples. I love how the patterns arise again and again, like how Natalia Korda is the "renewed life" for Alex and Rosemary is the "renewed life" for Eva.

Wonderful analysis! I love how you use the music from Forbidden Siren! When I read Caliban Cove for the first time, it totally suprised me. It's definitely the best novel in the series. The main reason of course is that S.D.Perry was able to structure the story as a novel rather than providing filler materiel between cutscenes and coming up with justification for the weird game logic. Therefore the story and events can develop more organically and more ... well ... "novelesque". 😉

Nice to hear your views on this one. I want to see a fan-game of this book. The art was a cool addition to video. One thing I remember sticking in my head from this book was how the tri-squads were vulnerable to carrion birds. It sounded like a interesting thing for zombie-fiction to note. My head-cannon thought for this one is that the Leviathan is the prototype for Del Lago.

Hey Beggy another great video analysis! I read this book over a year ago and forgot so much of it. The opening scene made quite an exciting impression though. Seeing the Spencer Mansion survivors regrouping and interacting together at Barry's house was something I would have loved to have seen in the games. Resident Evil has always had weird unbelievable monster variants but I distinctly remember the gun-wielding zombies really pulling me out of the experience. If I recall correctly there was some great chemistry between David and Rebecca. I'm really enjoying your videos keep up the great work!

Capcom may have Chris and the other STARS members testify to findings once seen in the mansion especially with the files that have been obtained of course that's only my theory. Spencer I feel may have learned from Josef Mengele or other nazis do to his age, the timeline seems to fit as to why he has that "master race" mentality. If possibly I'd love to sit down meet and talk with you on the similarities between Oswell Spencer and the Nazi doctors.

@BeggyBeggBegg 2 жыл бұрын
I love that you're doing a project on it!! There are some good themes here, some of the loudest probably being: 1) Treachery/False Allegiances. Many of the S.T.A.R.S. members are bought out by Umbrella. Their selfish desires are prioritized over their loyalty and sense of justice. This corruption is seen in Irons and multiple other S.T.A.R.S members that don't bother to further explore or expose the Mansion Incident. Even Griffith is falsely affiliated with Umbrella, as his desires to cleanse the human race drive him to conquer the lighthouse facility to materialize his dreams. Griffith then induces ANOTHER instance of betrayal by making Steve turn his gun on his own teammates. 2) Manipulation/Puppeteering. This is similar to the above theme, but can be more directly applied to how Griffith creates his own pawns through biological means, and also to how Umbrella creates its own pawns (Irons, Wesker, bribed cops and Raccoon City officials) through wealth, power, and political control. Let me know if those 2 help at all.

These books are technically non-canon, but many of them resemble the events of the games well enough to be considered canon (save for exclusive characters and scenes and obviously the 2 original novels Caliban Cove and Underworld). You can think of S.D. Perry's novels as a slight distortion of the canon RE universe called "The Perryverse". She is separate from the writers of the games.
