This is the first strand-type zombie game

This game makes you feel like a security camera.

"And then you stumble onto a note, written by one of the zombies" 「"Hello, We are about to launch an all-out attack on your houze. Sincerely, the Zombies" 」

When I was younger I liked to pretend the fixed cameras were just little hidden cameras set up all over the place by Wesker so he could record everyone's progress to review later for experiment purposes.

"The cameraman is working for the zombies" That explains EVERYTHING.

"The cameraman works for the Zombie" is a perfect description of the game.

2:59 If you listen closely you can pick up on the pure sense of fear and dread in Dunkey’s voice when he merely mentions the idea of playing as Chris

"If you really fucked up you'll have to start an entire new game" That one hit home because I've been there 😭😭

The real horror was walking through the door and realizing it wasn’t the correct door

My favorite quote is when they say "Every resident in this house is evil."

The doors became nightmare fuel after experiencing the single door in RE2 where zombies actually walk through during the opening animation. Never trusted them since.

That Luigi's Mansion music tho

"Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat doggie food." -Sun Tzu, Art of War

Chris didn't know back then, that he'd punch that boulder's descendant.

Luigis mansion music towards the end made the video perfect 👍 thanks dunky

Its funny because 99% of the time, if you asked someone about the doggy food note they will have told you it was one of the most memorable and terrifying parts of the game. Idk why, but it really has stuck with everyone. I guess Dunk is the 1%.

I cracked up so hard when I first read the doggy food page. Love this game, but never beaten it. Gotta fix that one of these days.

"The camera man is working for the zombies" is the most accurate way to describe it lmao

I love how Dunkey’s response to being chased by the first Crimson Head was “Ohhhh, Ohhhh, this guy’s fast! This guy’s fast!”

So nobody's going to talk about Luigi screaming "Marioooo" at 4:51 ??????

From bowser’s big bean burrito to a jill sandwich Dunkey’s character development is unmatched

The faint sound of Luigi calling for Mario in the distance of the mansion. Perfection.

"Boulders will fight you" re5 really took that one literally

20 or so years later, and REmake is still one of the best looking video games I have ever seen. You can really tell that the artists put a lot of love and care into those environments

The "doggie food" note is legitimately something that has never left me after reading it as a kid. Slowly realizing the man is losing his humanity was incredibly disturbing and horrific.

We have gone full circle. In the Bubsy 3D review you compared the controls to Resident Evil. Now after all these years you compared the Resident Evil controls to Bubsy 3D. Perfection.

5:41 With the full context that note is really scary for me at least The dogs caretaker just keeps a journal and he slowly realizes that the dogs aren't acting right, then he calls the doctors because his skin has started falling off. They tell him he no longer needs to wear the hazmat suit he needed before and his notes get progressively more unintelligible leading to him saying "Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat Doggie food." He literally ate the dogs.

"Your character doesn't know how to walk" I felt this on a deep level

I really appreciate the small mini games of shooting zombies and solving puzzles in between the actually door opening gameplay.

“You do not want to go anywhere in this game unless you have to. Except you do have to.”

I have always loved the fixed camera angles, it makes it feel like your playing a horror movie

Resident Evil: *A well executed horror game* Resident Evil Village: _This tall vampire lady is thicc_

I am still waiting for the moment when capcom will finally reveal the antagonist of the series: President Evil

'This is almost like that time I was in an evil residence' - Gex

Actually that Itchy-Tasty text is one of the most well-known notes in all of RE games. Some of the lines might appear a bit goofy, but if you read it completely as a package, it is quite captivating and scary in a way, seeing the gradual transformation from a heathly person to a zombie. And then you get attacked by that guy who wrote it by a jump scare and even find his friend that the diary mentions.

"The camera man is working for the zombie" That's what I feel when playing this game

This game was and still is the bomb.

This game is a masterpiece. All the clunkiness of the camera, controls, saves, and inventory is what makes the game great. It's amazing game design. 1) no checking corners, you can actually facebump a zombie. Sounds becomes critical too. 2) this is not an action game, it's a survival horror. You are not meant to fight, especially early on. 3) the inventory management is what forces you too strategise your pathing. If you need get somewhere dodging zombies but you are missing a key, then you will need to go back, pick up the key, and back to the door. That's at least three times that you need to dodge the zombies all the way. But you could go the other way around to avoid those zombies. But you killed one there. Is it going to be a red zombie yet? Choices are organic to the game and matter, a lot! 4) the saves are meant to push you forward. You need to make progress in order to save the game, or you will get trapped. No quicksaves, no save whoring. I beat the game in a second run with only 12 saves and there is only about 40 ribbons in the game. On a first run I used 33, it's pretty well balanced for a blind run. 5) most bosses don't require killing them. "42" can be shipped with a puzzle if you do it right, for the snake you can pick the item and run, for L. T. you don't need shooting... Overall, play this if you REALLY like horror games. You are in for a treat. Don't expect the RE4 experience, because there is no farming or aiming in here, just exploration, decision making, and resource management.

"Jill, no", "Jill, go". The editing is absolutely scrumptious

Nothing was scarier as a child playing the original for the first time and having 2 hell hounds jump through the glass windows in that silent dark hallway.

When this game came out 2002 those graphics were mind blowing. Because they were just on the edge of photo realism EDIT MASTER tank driver!!

"the camera is working for the Zombies" couldnt have said it any better

"How do you make a GameCube game look like this?" I say this every time I play Metroid Prime

Dunkey, thank you for making all these good videos and making me want to play games I never thought I'd play.

“The older i get, the more i appreciate the bizarre and unique works of art in this world” I love this line so much

"We should split up" "OK, I believe you"

“The cameraman is working for the zombies” has got me screaming, so damn true

"The camera man is working for the zombies." You're the best, bro.

I think one of the scarier things about this game is the jumpscare they added with a door animation, so the anticipation then sits in for every door cutscene from then on

Fun Fact: The camera angles are hidden cameras that are used to record the combat data of the characters as they venture the mansion. Wesker is watching through them.

today hungry and eat doggie food.

Dunkey, you straight up made me laugh the most I have in the Covid error with this video alone. You're a comedic genius. Thanks man

Nice job editing this one Dunkey. I like the start-and-stop style you used on the clips.

Imagine if someone were to create, room-to-room, an exact replica of the Spencer Mansion and made a VR game for it. I would legit be in heaven.

Resident Evil with Luigi's mansion music is actually gold

3:42 that’s just sadistic

The 'doggy food' diary entry is actually a lot darker in context. It's written by a man who is gradually becoming a zombie and we can tell this because his diary entries become gradually less intelligent.

The “itchy, tasty” note hits a little different when you’re 9 years old and a giant baby

This is a dunkview so people will say "Dunkey is wrong, saying it's a joke isn't an excuse" and proceed to not give a single valid reason why it's bad aside from their personal disagreement.

Can we all take a minute to appreciate how well edited this is?

Each one of dunkeys very well worked on vids is like a piece of art

I'm actually surprised that you didn't show the "Itchy tasty" comment after the "eat doggie food" because the note becomes funny and then becomes fucked up immediately

3:32 That rpg layout takes me back. Not that far back as I think that's a new version but even so :)

Really enjoyed this game, probably my favourite game. The music, the style, the everything I just love

I like how the Fatal Frame series did their camera angles. It was fixed in some places, but it would follow you slightly in some others, then it would be behind you. i feel like they went downhill when they started using normal 3rd person perspective

Everyone's laughing at the doggy food text but that was terrifying in the game. It gave you an idea how scary and disgusting the transformation to a zombie was.

''Ok Barry, you've been shady all game and tried to kill me twice but for some reason I'm going to go on to the lab without confronting you or asking any questions'' (Jill, after killing Lisa Trevor)

You had to be there when it was fresh. Groundbreaking ! The nostalgia I got rn is crazy . 10/10 video hilarious haha

This remaster still holds up oh so well to this very day. I am a boomer, played the original trio, and appreciate fixed cameras and tank controls. They add to the horror in a good way.

Turning into a Jill Sandwich is definitely one of the most horrifying experiences in this game

The itchy-tasty diary is one of the most unnerving things in the game. I don't understand how somebody could write it off just as something super hilarious and out of place

"actually, i shoulda brought da schnake gunnn" 😂😂 this video is hilarious, i love you bro

This went from a zombie horror to a crazy haunted house experience featuring giant animals for some reason

"The perfect mixture of funniness and evil, like the Joker." this shit should be the gold standard of comedy

"Itchy. Tasty" is like the one bit of actually unnerving horror writing in the whole damned game. Seriously, the fuck.

RE1 remake is THE peak of RE atmosphere

this game really makes you feel like you were almost a jill sandwich

I know it was passed over for a smoother punchline, but there's another layer of comedy/horror to the doggie food note. It's a log from a guy who has been infected by the virus, and is slowly degenerating into a zombie. So you get to see him develop caveman speak in real time, but also get to realize that unless outright killed the victims fully experience breaking down mentally and may even be still kind of in there after the transformation is done.

Thank you Newgrounds for kickstarting Dunkey

I truly appreciate your videos man

Recently bought this game when it was on sale for my switch. Having fun on my first playthrough as Chris and I legitimately feel uneasy playing it

RE Remake isn't a video game. It's a masterpiece of art that happens to be in video game form.

Man I love the RE-make so much. I love the cinematic nature of the fixed camera angles, the slow foreboding opening of doors, the sparse ammo and inventory management, the zombies that are actually extremely threatening (aim for the head Dunkey), the saving the game based on resource management... I love it all!

the camera man is working for the zombies line gets me everytime I hear it

"And then you stumble onto a note, written by one of the zombies" 「"Dear Pesky Plumbers, The Koopalings and I have taken over the Mushroom Kingdom. The Princess is now a permanenet guest at one of my seven Koopa hotels. I dare you find her if you can. 」

One of your best vids

'The camera man is working for the zombies' Lmao that nailed the whole game

I legit love the fixed camera angles. It's a cheat to better use the hardware, but they use it to give it so much atmosphere and it sets up the whole thing like a horror movie. It leads to a lot of tension in a way that not every game manages to do.

Lol I always found the "eat doggie food" note haunting tbh, the mind increasingly being reduced to mush

"Ten shots to win, hahaha." Is one of my favorite dunkey quotes.

“The cameraman is working for the zombies” 😂😂😂

One of the best games ever. Still remember being a little kid and playing my dad's save just to walk out a safe room and see a running zombie immediately scaring the shit out of me

The camera man is working for the zombies :D. I yoinked that and made people laugh on twitch by pointing that out. Thx Dunkey.

I love sincere dunkviews like this and The Shining

In most zombie media, "Brains" is just a mistranslation of "Doggie Food"

A lot of what you list as negatives in this game are what I absolutely love about it. The whole point is resource management, puzzles, strategy, planning. Even the exploration is a puzzle of sorts, like "alright I can't go down that hallway because I'm on red caution with no heals and there's a crimson head there, so I'll loop around and use the armor key to open this door, which hopefully has an herb behind it etc." It's one of the best experiences I've had in gaming and I'm about halfway through my first playthrough as I write this comment. Having to use ink ribbons to save is also genius. It makes you have to seriously consider your every move. It's survival horror. Not bang bang shooty boom horror.

The camera angles actually worked great with the tabky controls to enhance the spooky atmosphere. Being in a room not knowing youre walking straight into a zombie... ahh those were rhe days.

"Your cameraman is working for the zombies." That line just hit right

“Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat doggie food.” -Gex
