GameTrailers Resident Evil Retrospective : Part 3, Mocap Interviews

[missvalentine]

that was awesome, although i don't agree with CVX has the best plot though, i think it's overhyped.

but in the next episode, is UC included, because i saw some footage of UC on there.

oh and if Outbreak 2 isn't included in the next one, i hopes it's right after that.

I don't think they said it had the best plot, they just said it had a fairly deep story for a title in the series... and to be quite honest, they're right. The three Flagship scripted games (RE2, CV, Zero) and the Remake are probably the the titles with the most background story and plot development, and CV's numerous plot lines (although I'm also not a fan) is probably the largest of the series thus far.

but that doesn't neccesesarily mean it's the best like a lot of people make it out to be. i personally am a fan of RE3's simple yet enjoyable storyline, and i think Remake's story is great as well, there my two favorites.

Only a few errors this time around:
-Nice how they mentioned X being called "Kanzenban"/"Complete Edition" in Japan, but I found it unusual that they didn't mention the JP-exclusive Dreamcast release of it.
-Unless I'm mistaken, they said that the Queen Leech ATE Marcus's remains, and then took on his form. Wait, what? I thought it merged with him by entering his corpse and somehow fused with him (Then again, 0's plot was confusing as all get out, so I wouldn't make much of it).
-Despite mentioning that X had all of that new footage, they made it seem like the Wesker fight was in the original version. That's just another nitpick though.

They've done a good job so far.
As for the lack of Gun Survivor, considering that the next episode will cover Outbreak, UC and Dead Aim, I wouldn't be surprised if they bring up the first Survivor as well. (I'm hoping they cover UC's "Umbrella's End"/"Dark Legacy" stages though).

I think it was never resolved what Marcus was in Zero. Was it really resurrected Marcus fused with Queen's genes or was it just Queen Leech mimicking him all the time, just like the other leeches are doing it, only with a better result.
It was probably due to Capcom's laziness ("what? are we supposed to do a 3d young Marcus's model? no way!"), but in Umbrella Chronicles there was no young Marcus. Instead Billy and Rebecca are talking to a "leechy" form of Marcus before the final fight.


About the retrospective, I think it was a bit rushed. I loved how they covered almost everything about RE1 (including Sweet Home), but here everything, both about RECV and Zero part, was very brief; they haven't even showed N64 version of Zero (they did show GBC version of RE1 in the first retrospective) and story conclusion was really messy.

I will agree that they rushed, even though these two are my less favorite when it comes to RE, I think they could have done more. It actually made me want to play these games again.

[Daargoth]

for some odd reason I want to replay RE:0 again....the train and stuff was pretty cool...bah I'll just play UC again

Yeah, I remember that now.
Also, on a side note about Zero, did anybody else notice that Marcus never actually had an in-game character model? All of his appearances were in FMVs, as was the case with Birkin and Wesker. I just found that to be a bit odd.

Plus, the lack of N64 RE 0 WAS disappointing, but I feel lke they were trying to rush this one.
