Theres something i am surprised u didnt mention, after You see the licker tru the window and Go tru the door of the licker hallway, the camera angle is outside the window looking at u, as If the Monster is observing You. This angle only occurs once.

I was only 6 years old when I played this for the first time. The squishing footsteps from the zombies used to haunt me in my dreams

As an elder millennial watching videos of young people playing games I grew up with like they are artifacts is surreal but enjoyable

My brother in christ, missing the Desert Eagle for Leon is like missing the sword in The Legend of Zelda, the Morophball in Super Metroid or the whip in Castlevania.

Engine footage? No man, those are pre-rendered cutscenes. And CG FMVs were considered more premium than live action by that time. The FMVs were such a lil treat for 90s games.

I've always expressed that Clare A-Leon B was the best way to play the game.

This was my first game for PlayStation and my first RE game. What’s really missing from the remake is the fact you didn’t see Mr X until part B. The first time he appears out of nowhere is one of the creepiest moments ever and such a surprise. Especially the one part where he smashes through the wall TWICE to chase you. For me, nothing can ever recreate the dread this game had except maybe the first Silent Hill because you had to use so much more of your imagination instead of the games today that do it for you.

I'm just about to turn 37, I had RE1 and RE2 back when they were released as my parents were totally clueless that they weren't game suitable for kids 😂 at their times, they were both terrifying! With the dogs in the hallway being a legendary moment from the first one.

Glad to see a follow-up to the RE1 video. Definitely going to enjoy this.

So just to add, to open the locker in the dark room, you need to pick up no items in the city section and then go past the garden to the stairs with the outside hall area, and a zombie Brad Vickers will be there to kill and get the gun. Also, when you exit the opposite side of stairs than you entered, in the planter, there is a green herb. This early in the game it is a game changer.

Edited to change weapons to items.

In the b plot Brad should just be there I believe as long as you got him there in the a plot. Also, this is only in normal or above.

My mom used to play this to scare me, even though she didn't know how to play and always died in the beginning. She passed away due to brain cancer, I missed you mom❤

I think things like the ventilation shaft aren't meant to ever be interacted with or used by the player but rather just an explanation for how Sherry was able to navigate the station without getting harmed.  I guess something was lost in translation or there was a cutscene or something cut that explains it.  There's the door with the broken bottom half that Sherry crawls under but it isn't explicitly shown, and when you play as her I think you crawl through one that's kind of similar looking.  For example at 13:25, Sherry runs from the zombies in the STARS hallway and then just kinda vanishes despite the door she ran toward being locked.  The vent on the floor is opened though and I don't think you can even inspect it.  Like I said it's like it was meant to be explained or hinted at but everything was cut except for the background art and the way she disappears.

I remember playing it in 1998 when I was a kid and it most definitely did scare me and I waited 20 years for the remake and the remake had me on the edge of my seat as an adult lol.

Watching this tonight! This was my all time favorite. Leon's weapon upgrades, blowing zombies in half with the shotgun and watching the top half crawl towards you. I don't care about the graphics, this game was SCARY!!!

Nice video 👍🏻

Oh, and the lockers in the darkroom; you have to get from the beginning of the game to the station without picking up any items (on hard mode I believe). There will be a special zombie outside of the police station under the stairs. Once you get to the station without picking up any items, it will remain there; so you can run into the station, pick up an ink ribbon to save. Pick up other items needed to kill the special zombie (you'll need them, it's no ordinary zombie). Then when killed, loot the body for the special key.

I won't spoil it for you but each character gets something different.

Yes, a giant bald man in trench coat is pretty scary.

EDIT Yeah you wish there were more back and forth between Claire and Leon using radio. Cue the remake where there's literally 2 scenes where they actually talk with each other throughout the game, excluding the ending. 😅

Ive used your first video as my walkthrough whenever i got stuck as ive finally been playing the original 3 games for the first time. Good stuff, happy to see another video i can use to help me again lol

11:37 THE KEY! In order to get the key for the locker in the dark room, you must start the game and make it all the way to the police station courtyard without picking up any items, then instead of going inside the police station, you go down some stairs. And you will see a zombie Brad(yellow vest). Kill it and take the 🔑. Claire gets a costume and Leon gets gun and a costume i think.

Subbed, liked, got all my hype points.
