First experience with RE1 was July 3, 1996. My Friends and I rented our first Playstation from Blockbuster, we rented RE1 because the box art looked scary, then took it home and pulled an all-nighter in my basement . What made the game even scarier was the fact Blockbuster didn't rent memory cards, so every time we died we had to start over from the beginning, lol. That boosted the fear-factor up to 11! We got as far as the shark level…probably dying 10-15 times that night, lol. Great times.
Psy is so hot
How does someone not know how to pronounce mahjong in this day and age?
Thanks Psy, loved this video!
Really fun video. Thanks, Psy!
You miss resident evil 3 nemsis.not okey
This was presh, thanks 🙂 Just finished RE4 remake, good stuff.
We all know Psy would have a tenpin lane in her spare room if she could 😂
You are now entering a world of survival horror
17:23 That was actually hilarious 😂
"God damn bowlingo" 😂 you seem to astounded as to how it succeeded.
I remember when my Uncle introduced me to Resident Evil for the PS1 back in 1996. I was hooked ever since.
Everybody wants a RE Veronica remake or RE9 but no one is talking about the real problem. Capcom should make a remake on RE6 and fixed everything about it
Me and my friends watched the Sweet Home movie on YouTube recently. It was quite over the top Japanese horror title and you can see the RE DNA in it a lot more than the old game.
Excellent video! It's so interesting looking at old previews of games that were in development to see how they changed. Glad we got the "RE2 was made" timeline.
I heard RE9 is going to star Leon, not Jill
Oh man, OverBlood @ 13:45 really takes me back, poor Pipo 😢
We need more of these “Gaming History with Psy” type videos. Awesome video and interesting content.
Does anyone notice the zombie in the beginning in the police car in RE2 looks just like Leon?
After the first time the dogs jumped through the window in RE1 I dint touch this scary fucker for months
