My favorite part about Gaiden, Dead Aim and Revelations was that the gaming articles interviewed the creators for all 3, and all 3 mentioned how unique it was putting Resident Evil on a Boat "because you cant easily escape a boat." Like almost word for word, each one mentioned this as if they were the first and only RE entry to do it lol
@@TehSuperbeast bro you probably already know the twist at the end of 8, you spoiled yourself. Plus knowing that you play on a ship in RE7 spoils shit about the story
23:25 "So Morpheus is kinda a pursuer monster in this part of the game." She says as Morpheus leaps through the air like a minecraft character making me spit my drink out in equal parts hilarity and fear.
That neck deform issue was common at the time and was often referred to as "goosing". It's when the mocap data is miscalculating the translates on the neck(the triangulation of raw cloud data points into a rotate/translate on the joint/animation control). Motion capture software solvers are much better today, but at the time the animators had to do a lot of cleanup post mapping onto the character rig. What I would often do is delete all the bad translate data and keyframe those from scratch, but likely this is probably a budget thing of not having enough production hours to fix all those frames of animation.
@@therandomdickhead5744 Ever notice that they don't call it motion capture anymore, but "performance capture"? This is because a LOT more of the actors performance(including very subtle facial and body acting) can now be 1:1 mapped to the character rig, with the animators doing less work on the post side.
I always figured that would be just standard practice.. that being said honestly I am almost firmly in the hand animation camp.. just looking at some of the modern iterations of it from ID or valve.. especially when it's combined with a procedure animation system that can be written in code and scales to time interpolation instead of frames.. which that I might have said that all wrong but you probably of more than most people would know what I'm actually talking about LOL.. like I'm biased because it allows for modding much easier than having to do motion capture or having pre-canned animations.. it also solves a lot of problems in general with motion captured data and rigging and whatnot.. although like you can still end up with the same, especially if you sound design isn't built around it, that was where Valve really brought it home.. and then the PS3 and a single generation killed it entirely.. who knew that individual sounds were harder to play then giant uncompressed ones.. if you don't have a basic sound processor LOL go figure.. it's amazing how much that simple decision has had ripples over the years, I really really really miss the days when you could design a game for a different platform.. and actually design around it,.. as a PC player we haven't had that since crisis in the AAA scene, and the indie scene doesn't even bother anymore.. and even that isn't actually designed with the capabilities it's designed with the best practices which are essentially like saying it's designed for consoles, just the input alone.. and how much that's had a a horrible horrible brutalizing of game design(1). Rant(1) But I guess that motion capture comes into full play when it's just a standard practice that's design a game to play for you rather than actually play it yourself.. kind of like halo, the first game to really maximize on that potential.. make it seem like you're playing but actually be playing for you, cuz you have a dual analog controller and it's garbage for what it's trying to do.. it doesn't have to be garbage but it got stuck in a time loop for 20 years.. if you really want to get a good feel for how bad it is they have 2/3 keyboards and they sell them for several hundred dollars and nobody even bats an eye it's like a feature LOL Fortunately Nintendo is outside of the time loop but unfortunately Nintendo is also outside of reality so that's just Nintendo's thing.. be interesting to see if VR makes crossovers in the 2D space because thus far that's the only innovation in peripherals that I've seen since the dual analog controller, with minor and completely ignored or marginalized iterations of things like gyro aiming, or the IR version of that that Xbox briefly tried and then managed to both fail by not actually providing the correct hardware but also by angering gamers that had built up muscle memory around a game that plays for you, if they had released the connect that worked I'm pretty sure it would have had the same result but.. you know at least it would have worked and could be something like the steam controller where I'm like that was a really cool idea I wish that was a thing.. how do I get out of this utterly boring timeline we're in.. I want the one with that boomerang controller, or you didn't just throw the controller at the screen it came back to you afterwards! might not actually have any impact on the future of gaming but at least it would be slightly more interesting than the boring garbage that we're stuck with now.
@@jakedill1304 the hell you talking about also tbh most games work pretty well on dual analog controllers like action games or fighters and even platformers except on xbox controllers cuz they switch out the dpad making it horible for 2D platformers its usually just shooters that are best on keyboard
29:45 Bruce survives all of the zombie encounters, Morpheus, 2 Tyrants and trying to escape a death dropping elevator and gets absolutely OBLITERATED by Suzie lmao. I love it 😂😂😂
Game is so old but it wasn't ever rare or not heard of just many people seems to have skipped it not liked it and never talked about it since it's not a numbered series. Resident Evil was never about the numbered series and i consider the spin off canon which pisses off the FAKE CORE FANBASE.
@@uzaautumus Don't even bother engaging with that thing. Just let it post it's stupid, ignorant, cretinous, attention seeking drivel. Don't bother dignifying it with a response as any response would be a waste of us civilized people's time, and would be giving that thing what it wants.
At 21:24 I had to replay Suzi's entire point about Morpheus because I realized Bruce gets grabbed by The Orphan of Kos, straight up asks outloud if said monster is Morpheus and proceeded to just (without hesitation) point blank shoot it in the head. I dunno why but the order of those events just cracked me up.
@@gamesthatshouldbeframed3760 "being clocked" means somebody discovered you are trans by how you look. "being deadnamed" means somebody called you by a name you don't use anymore
This was the perfect weekend rental game, and your every point was spot on. "And then they FUCKED!" When you pointed out that you can stealth this game, I had to stop the video and just think for a bit and I couldn't remember if I ever knew that.
It feels like this game was a labor of love. And this video had me cracking up. The “Bruce runs like such an idiot” had me actually dying of laughter. His neck at all times. Suzie’s delivery is underrated.
I think it really goes to show how much having easy access to things like reviews "ruin" gaming. I'm of the opinion a lot of games that have mixed/mostly positive reviews are honestly worth picking up and playing. Games sort of just need to be "good enough" IMO, they don't HAVE to be master pieces. This applies to anything really, and I think people owe it to themselves to branch out and play more games without worrying about what other people feel about them first. I put the quotes on ruin since I think reviews are still good. Especially if you have limited time, and want to experience the best the genre has to offer, you should definitely be playing the best games, and a select cult classics, but I do miss the feeling I had as a kid playing something, not knowing if it was good or bad, if the mechanics were considered janky or not, and just enjoying what was in front of me, instead of missing the things that aren't there from other games. Redfall was one of those games for me. I've for a long time avoided things like reviews, not really out of principle, I was just more interested in spending my time watching full on video essays like this, or educational content for the multiplayer games i'm trying to learn, so I have the somewhat unique privilege of not even knowing what is "hype" about new releases, meaning every-time I boot up a new game I buy, I get to make decisions about what's good or bad myself. I hadn't played a class based co op shooter in a long time, so Redfall for me was a lot of fun on release, even if in hindsight, it's missing a lot of things. Sometimes just being with 3 buds, shooting vampires and cultists with some neat abilities is just a great time even when I'm dropping frames and there aren't 50 unique weapons and the combat was a bit repetitive.
@@CursedWheelieBin I think it's the aesthetic of it being a dilapidated old timey cruise ship gives off a creepier vibe than the ships from re7 and revelations at least in my opinion.
@@plasmaoctopus1728 wasn't revelations a dilapidated cruise ship too? Granted there was more going on than that below decks but for the most part it was what you described.
Suzi: *Serious talk about if the villain is a trans or not, and how it’s refreshing for the game to just carry on instead of draw attention/make a joke of it* Morpheus like two seconds later at 23:25: *Luigi flutter jump*
Leon and Ada have canonically fucked, actually--They confirm it when they meet up in Damnation, although apparently their sexytimes was cut off by Ada going on an assignment.
Dead Aim is truly one of the video games of all time. The gameplay is playable, the graphics are rendered, the story is written and the voice actors say their lines. Out of all the entries in the Resident Evil series, this is definitely one of them.
I personally like the game quite a bit, all memes aside and is one of my favorite RE games. My family was pretty poor when I was a kid, so the only times I could get a game were either my birthday or on Christmas, and that's if I was lucky. I ended up getting my parents to buy Dead Aim for me at GameStop and I played the absolute shit out of it, so I have some very fond memories
@@chizdip8192 that's great man , RE-DeadAim was one of a kind and fun to play if you had a good Lightgun ( the best way to play it ) only wish it would have a "Mercenaries Mode" to make it complete , , ,👍😸👍
Bizarely, this was actually my first RE game. Had the guncon and everything. As a kid I remember being horrified by the first zombie, and even more terrified when the hallway of corpses suddenly stood up. It may not be the best game, but it has a lot of charm. And pretty great atmosphere.
@@Miss_Matched Could be any conservative grifter really, given how much they all follow outrage based scripts. And from a mentality that claims to be all about “thinking for themselves!” and individualism, that’s a real phenomenon in itself…
It's funny how the only thing about the RE universe that's consistent through every single game and film adaptation is how bad, truly terrible, Umbrella's security is.
I bought this game a week before my brother died, he was my gaming buddy, and I could never bring myself to play it after he was gone. Thanks for the video ❤️ it's a game I forgot I had until I saw your video, so it's interesting to see what the game is actually like
Coming back to this, It's my headcanon that Fong was convinced to actually stay with Bruce while on the ride to shore in a Boeing CH-47 (the Chinook) and/or the "Fade To Black Fuck" was so mindblowing that Fong decided to stay because of that.
Honestly this game is very nostalgic for me. This was one of my first RE games I played as a kid( I'm 25 now). I used to watch my dad play Dead Aim among other RE titles, until I was brave enough to try it out myself. (I was like 13 at the time) when I eventually beat this game with my dad by my side cheering me on every second of the way through. The intro alone with the dope synth music, and the save room theme is honestly one of my favorite things about this game. This game deserves way more credit I feel. Man time flies, long live RE: Dead Aim.
Saw the video get posted and immediately was like "Oh hell yeah, Suzy's talking about the weird but good GunCon Resident Evil game!" Also, I hope you cover Dino Stalker! It's the best sort-of sequel to Dino Crisis 2 without going to space.
I always loved how they designed the game cover. Such a great composition. The orange, red, and yellow glow on Bruce's hair and face look amazing with the fiery apocalyptic red background full of bioweapons. And of course, Fong looks hot too. lol
I just love how you say Bruce and Fong are essentially dollar store Leon and Ada. Which I’m very inclined to agree though I personally haven’t played this game despite my hearing of it in the past thanks to Game Informer magazines. But then seeing Morpheus transform into a literally electrifying woman? I don’t know if you’ve played House of the Dead 3 but that to me is basically the final boss known as “Wheel of Fate” who is Dr. Curien resurrected and became transgender. Yeah. RE: Dead Aim is unbelievably weird in countless ways.
Take a shot every time Suzie says something about Bruce’s neck, face, accent, or anything else about him that’s just unintentionally funny 😅😂 this is probably my favorite video of yours yet. Burst out laughing more than a few times and man the nostalgia! I actually played THE crap out of this game back then as a kid.
There is something I love about PS2 era horror games, I'm talking about the dark atmosphere with the eerie music in the background that made you feel that you were in the creepy place with the characters. Games like Fatal Frame 2&3, RE4, Kuon, Mortal Kombat (DA, Deception & Armagedon), DMC, etc. made perfect use of their visuals, the last time I feel that was with "FromSoft" games & the last two RE.
@@zombiegodown5663 hahaha I was thinking whether to include it or not, but I'm talking about "dark atmospheres" more than anything, and the MK saga has several scenarios that seem to be taken from horror movies, such as the dungeons where you face Goro, the whirlwind of souls or any stage of the outworld.
some people don't like emulators, or just prefer to use the original hardware. A lot of emulators are also illegal, and therefore can be of.... unpredictable quality. Edit: Woops replied to the wrong person lol Mobile touch screens are the worst sometimes.
The save room theme is so dreamy and hypnotic. The entire soundtrack has a totally different feel compared to previous games. I think the save room theme was a huge influence to Survival Spheres channel.
I’ve owned this game for years but I still haven’t played through it. Now I can barely wait to finally give this trans inclusive, broken neck simulator a shot!
This game would actually be a really good candidate for a remake. Like imagine it with Village graphics and still being able to shift back and forth between the 3rd and first person and make some improvements to the story and what not.
i personally don't understand what plan do antagonists have 1. mutate horribly basiacally become an absolute monster to never function normal again, was birkin alive or dead? 2. kill the protagonist - obviously not 3. yeah put on a coat to cover up your horribly mutated body nobody will know. 4. profit? like morphus... dude injected his ass with two different kinds of virus not only mutated as hell also taller than any human what's the plan here sail a cruise ship SS. foresight king?
@@ryszakowy Duvall's plan was to have both the US and China as hostages thanks to her nukes. Unless they forked over 50 billion which she plans to use to create her own Utopia of beauty in Africa. Not kidding.
Dead aim was one of my favourite Resident evil games, extremely underated and needs a modern port. I remember playing this with a light gun and reload pedal was a real unique experience. The music and atmosphere is still unmatched to this day.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing a modern remaster/reboot of Dead Aim, especially since I've only ever heard of this game; and never played it. But Bruce McGivern and Fong-Lin really are the low budget versions of Ada Wong, and Leon S. Kennedy. I still prefer Leon and Ada; in RE2, but despite people saying Bruce got further with Fong-Lin than Leon does with Ada, that's because in RE2(i mean the original RE2, not the remake, in this case), Leon and Ada actually DO share a moment together, with Leon telling her not to leave because it's too dangerous out there because of "G" and the zombies, and she actually kisses him too, after healing the injury he just got from literally taking a bullet for Ada, who then wraps him in bandages. So, while I don't think Dead Aim is too bad, it's definitely crazy, and I agree with Suzi about this game being like James Bond meets Resident Evil, but it's also definitely got a bit of Sephiroth from FF7 thrown in there, but I also wouldn't mind a modern take on Dead Aim, but I'd also like to see more of remake Leon and Ada's relationship because I like them more. But Bruce and Fong aren't that bad as far as RE protagonists go, just a dollar store Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong, that's all. Nothing wrong if you preferred Dead Aim over RE2, or 4(my 2 favorite RE games in the series), even before the 2019 RE2 and the upcoming remake of RE4, starting my favorite RE character, Leon.
Quickly going from passionately raving about Resident Evil to passionately raving about the greatness of asses reminds me why I'm still subscribed to this channel
Ah yes, I remember playing this game as a 9 year old and that first zombie lady messed me up for life. When I heard her drop in the other room I contemplated turning off my ps2.
I had a friend of mine whom I gave my GunCon to play the game, in a dark room, at night. The bastard dropped my GunCon soon as that cutscene played. (I caught it before it hit the floor, thankfully)
@@Walksfar that game honestly was the vr of my childhood so exploring the dark hallways hearing moans in the dark was torture for me, genius environment design tbh
Not gonna mention the horrific note them that blob creature transformation from a captured child into that thing, seriously one of the most memorable diary entries in the series
This is honestly one of my favorite guilty pleasure games. It's not perfect but I've got fond memories of playing it with my little brother watching (plus I love the ship setting)
I love dead aim it's so campy, felt like playing a cheezy American action/horror movie. I know at the end of the day Dead Aim is one of low tier RE games but God will it forever hold a special place in my heart.
If this game came out today, "Hardcore" gamers & Status Quo warriors would be throwing a fit that the games gone "Woke" But Back in 2003, we didn't really give a toss.
@@Megaspartan23 I always thought that the transformation was weird, but hey it's a virus shit, just go with it, it's part of the resident evil package.
I abused the ammo in save rooms since it literally keeps coming back if you go back in, so I had unlimited handgun ammo when near it or close enough. Also Wesker seemed to be the one who came up with that Mutation Theory in his note entitled: "Wesker's Notes on Differing Mutations" (See The Umbrella Chronicles) he stated: "I have a theory of Sergei's unique course of evolution. I had always assumed that the variety of effects the virus brings about on its host were random mutations. However, witnessing first-hand the effects on Sergei combined with what I know of Marcus's transformation points to a common thread between their outcomes. The host's mindset appears to influence the evolution of the virus..." He continues a bit further after from this but this suffices to show even someone with expertise like Wesker seems to agree. Btw I skipped almost the entire sewer area last I played, it was hella uneeded and even able to be pretty much skipped if you do it right. The voices also were definitely way to low. Pluto is the only time I cared to use the silencer as he is blind if I recall. That final ultimate gun felt like it was pretty much taken from Code Veronica. As for what happened here with the laser beam thing Morpheus wants money or will shoot missles at China, China is willing to pay 5 billion but as Bruce says Intel Agents are nothing but pawns so using the tracking chip they tried to take out Fong Ling an expendable and Fong Ling wants to continue her mission despite this as she says there's no guarantee even if he gets the money that he will not shoot the missles anyway. As for Bruce pointing at the radio he was saying that her bosses were constantly tracking her position.
the name morpheus was popularized by the matrix… the matrix has themes about being trans and was directed by trans women… morpheus in this game is trans… i see a connection here
I looked into this out of curiosity, since these characters were the RE representation in Namco X Capcom (apparently they couldn't use the more famous ones because at the time their games were being released on Nintendo hardware; when that was followed up by the Project X Zone games several years later, Chris and Jill got to be the RE reps), and the Spencer Rain got featured in a NxC stage or two. Kinda neat, I guess. Wasn't expecting the nature of the final boss, neat detail - IIRC only the grunt mobs made it to NxC, so I was unaware of that plot point. I wonder if this game's incident and characters ever got referenced again in the series... Also, Hormone Replacement T-virus
I've been writing that she should show her self more often for a long ass time now. Her videos are incredible as it is. But let's not kid ourselves she'll get a lot more views like this
So as I was hearing the music, I was like "this sounds oddly familiar". And then you mentionned Cavia. Sure enough, the composer for Dead Aim is also one of the composers for Drakengard. It explains the moody unnatural sampling i kept hearing
Pluto had the opportunity to be one of the creepiest Tyrants but that running animation was too hilarious! Can't believe I wrote this game off originally as a crappy spin off. Thank you for making this fantastic review on it Suzi, now I genuinely want to hunt it down and buy it!
I really loved this game, Bruce is my second favorite character after Jill. He was doing one-liners before Leon, and gained muscle before Chris(As shown in Namco x Capcom).
My dad has this game.I remember vaguely watching him play it at 6. I remember being around 9 in 2010 and trying it when he was at work. I remember being frustrated at the fact I had to switch perspectives. However, for some reason this one always integrated me and I don’t know why. I wanna go back and try it again now as an adult. Fun fact years later when my dad played “revelations 1”. He said he was nervous to play it because the last resident evil game to take place on a boat was pretty bad which was dead aim😂.
Maybe he was referring to Resident Evil Gaiden, the black sheep of the RE boat games. It was only available for Nintendo's hand-held sytems. Did your father have a GBC, GBA OR DS? If not then it was probably Dead Aim. Cheers from Canada
I loved Morpheus growing up and thought they were a cool villian. I actually was this many days old when I found out the T + G virus mentioned here! I didn't even know! My brain just assumed some creatures in the while can spontaneously change sex so this mutation I thought was like that. Still thanks for the added info and context to colour my next run of the game.
i always thought that they mutate without specific gender dude mutated himself beyond recognition with two different virus strains there's no going back from that kinda like excella gionne mutated into giant what he fuck or final boss of RE 4 or what was wesker's plan if he killed chris? show only his face? man these zoom meetings in umbrella are weird as hell
I loved this one, actually... probably because my uncle gave it to me, so I didn't have to pay at all, but it was kinda refreshing to be able to move and shoot. It was a good middle ground between "stiff as fuck" and "RE6-Imma-jump-on-the-floor-to-look-cool". The video was a lot of fun and yes, the *TG* virus thing has been living in my head rent-free since I realised what they did, years ago.
I don’t know if you have ever heard this series of games (2 of them), called ObsCure. It’s very similar to Resident Evil and Silent Hill. It’s 3rd person, had fix camera angles, and in the first game, there is a combination mechanic that is similar to Rising Dead, but not as polished. The game came out in 2004/2005, so it kind of had old and newer ideas in it. It also has local play as well, for 2 people. The controls aren’t amazing (the first one has where you have to hold down square/x button on PS2/X-Box to toggle the inventory and do the same on the circle/b button for weapons, and then if you want to combine you have to hold the inventory button and press that x/a button and the directional pad to do that, and reload; it’s a pain and thankfully the second game gave a better menu in the select button, as well for actions with them). But my favorite part of the first one (I’m playing right now) is the school, which I think is modeled after French schools, but is placed in America. It gives it that RDP being a former museum feel. My canon of it (it doesn’t really explain much about the school), is that it was a private school or a college back in the early 20th century, and when stuff happens in the dorms, they closed down that and made it a more modern high school, maybe. It looks old and such, but it’s pretty pretty and a great setting. The second one is also good, because it’s in a college and it has really cool, since you get to go outside the campus, go to a frat house, a hospital, dorms, and other places. It’s pretty cool, but you don’t get to go to the campus for more than a minute. I also love the characters. They aren’t well detailed in both, but the second has pretty good characterizations. The first game pretty much wanted to give the player more control, so they didn’t really push their characterizations on you, though I have a physical copy and in the manual, it fleshes them out. But the cool thing is, whoever is the first player, their character shows up in cutscenes. There’s even one where they go down a place and the members not in the party are coming in a door, like they meet us with the player(s) characters. And my favorite thing about it is the fashion. The first game has better ones, especially Shannon, but I’m also a fan of orange and green. The second game also ahs good fashion, but the cutscenes are horrible in it and most characters look like crap, even though their game models look pretty good (I assume they didn’t have a great budget and the cutscenes weren’t done by the same person). The first game also had bigger voice actors, though I think most of them do good. And the last thing about characters I want to say is that it’s a little diverse. Back when games barely had non-white or anime characters in their main cast in most games, ObsCure had at least 3 characters of color, Ashley in the first game, black, and twins Mei and Jun, Chinese-American. And o really liked it, since it made the casts looks more interesting than fully white casts, like a 80’s/90’s movie. The monsters are pretty cool too, which you can hurt them with light, made with plants like RE from Africa. I’d say they are like the Ivy monsters in RE2 and like the hunters as well. I like that it’s one monster type (as in how they became monsters, since they were human) so it’s not too hard to see them be related. And the game was inspired by The Faculty (1998), but with plant monsters instead of aliens. The character Stan in both games looks like Josh Hartnett who was in the movie and takes name from the jock character in the movie. Even in the second game, they have a character modeled after Deryck Whibley of Sum 41, who had a song in the opening credits of the first game; and like the name Stan, in the MV for the song in the first game, Deryck played a character in the MV named Sven, which was a name given to the jock character in the second game. They like doing that, making pop culture references with their characters. I mostly just wanted to give you a new game to play (easiest way to play it is on steam, because PS2 copies are expensive for the first game (the second one might be easier to find cheaper). You might find the x-box one cheaper too, I got it for like 80 bucks (I wish it wasn’t so much and my copy wasn’t as good condition as the sell said so), but the steam versions of both have higher definition for the in game play. Some cutscenes mess up, especially in the first one on steam and both don’t have volume sliders, so don’t have it too loud). I also think you’ll like the music, since it’s a choir-esqe type sound track and really matches the mood to empty schools. I hope you check it out; I think you’ll like it and maybe want to dress like Shannon Matthews, because I love her first game style. They do have that panties out of low rise jeans. Also, since both came out I the 2000’s and have teens/ young adults, it really has this teen horror movie vibe of the late 90’s and the 2000’s, and it’s really fun.
I forgot in the first one, you have options mapped into the directional pad where you have make the computer player (on single player gameplay) where you can make them fight or search or whatever, kind of like Dead Rising. It’s pretty cool and I was suprised. There is also a part where you turn on lights and the school breaks down (the first game again) by the monsters destroying it, which reminded me of when you wanted RE2 remake to have it where you can light up the RPD building, which this game kind of does in its one way.
Obscure 2 really fucked up by giving us a linear story instead of the open-ended approach from the first game tho. No longer being able to choose who lives and who dies was a real bummer.
This game's save room theme IMO is probably the best alongside 0 and CV. I would literally back in the day put down the controller for a good 3 to 4 hours napping to it. Another excellent video Suzi! You got me smiling and laughing on this weird side game throughout the video. Can't wait for your take on the Outbreak series!
I totally forgot that I played and beat this game in less than 2 hours until I watch this video. It was a fun game but very forgettable. You definitely brought back some cheesy memories.
I liked this game a lot as a pre teen. I remember devoting some my summer vacation to seeing how many times I could beat it one day haha. Think was bout 4 times.
It's crazy how many RE games used ideas and mechanics from this game afterwards. They've used a lot of ideas from spinoffs in the main games over the years.
I kind of love this game, many great memories laughing my ass off, using the Controller & Guncon Combo, and playing with a gameshark to enable 3rd Person Aiming, but I barely touched it after 4 came out. A goofy Easter egg I discovered, if you repeatedly fire a shotgun at the exact same spot, eventually the bullets form a huge spiral. This was also the first Resident Evil game where you could move and shoot at the same time. I always hoped they would bring Bruce back in some capacity, even if he's just a low level BCAA character.
Bruce isn't part of the BSAA, he's part of the Anti-Umbrella Pursuit and Investigation Team, an elite US Government team made directly after the fallout of Raccoon City's destruction. Barry, Krauser and Leon were a part of this team, and was the precursor to the BSAA, the FBC in Revelations, and Blue Umbrella(since the FBC and Blue Umbrella are US government sponsored programs)
I actually enjoyed the game when it came out. It's flawed and short, but very fun. I do have a few points to discuss. 1) I'm glad you brought up the subtitles. I remember laughing my ass off back in the day. My assumption is that the subtitles were based on an earlier draft of the script. 2) Interesting how you brought up Bruce and Fong's relationship and compared it to a spy movie from that era. I didn't become a James Bond fan until several years after playing this game, and I found that their dynamic is very, very much similar to the one shared between Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Yeoh in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997). 3) Yeah, it did indeed look like Bruce and Fong did it in the floating Twinkie at the end. But I always found it funny that the clincher in Fong's mind was that Bruce knew at least one word of her native language and had been to her country at least once. "That wasn't in your dossier!" Cupid's arrow works in mysterious ways. You've earned yourself a new subscriber. :)
Came for a great RE retrospective spoken by the gift that is Suzi's voice, left with potential knowledge about how a person injecting themselves with a virus can result in them becoming a trans biologically hazardous fish with organic high heels... Looks weird on a resume, but I have no regrets
Loved this one ironically enough, the gameplay was decent enough and the "female" Tyrant actually had me scared hearing the sound of heels clacking. Though one blind failed Tyrant was unintentionally hilarious.
I remember playing this back in the day; and wondering whether this game was actually made by Capcom, or whether it was a pirated knock off. Lol, the game was that weird to me.
I was lucky enough to know somebody with a working guncon back in the day, and dead aim was incredibly fun as a light gun game. The bosses in particular seem pretty intentionally designed with light gun aiming in mind. It's too bad you never got to try it that way Suzi, you might have liked its goofy BS even more!
For me this game has the creepiest atmosphere of all resident evil games. I remember playing this when it came out and it was really scary. The only thing I don't like about this game is that it's really short you can literally beat this game in like 20 MINUTES! LITERALLY!!

The ad was so good. The mismatched footstep sounds, the tank controlled Suzi, that was just *chef’s kiss*
I know right?!
That was the first add I have ever not skipped. I loved it so much!
There's really only one thing missing and that's the brief camera transition freeze
Yeah. The first time I didn't skip these ads.
and the way she just dropped the phone XD
one frame missing and it would be on par with gmod parodies.
Fun fact:
If you want 2 stories at the same time, turn on the subtitles for Dead Aim.
Or they couldn't afford a voice actor to say the title of the game
My favorite part about Gaiden, Dead Aim and Revelations was that the gaming articles interviewed the creators for all 3, and all 3 mentioned how unique it was putting Resident Evil on a Boat "because you cant easily escape a boat." Like almost word for word, each one mentioned this as if they were the first and only RE entry to do it lol
Then 7 does it again
@@elgordobondiola It wasn't a functional ship though so not really comparable in the "Cant escape a ship" sense.
@@elgordobondiola Sick spoiler
@@TehSuperbeast bro you probably already know the twist at the end of 8, you spoiled yourself. Plus knowing that you play on a ship in RE7 spoils shit about the story
... because of the implication
23:25 "So Morpheus is kinda a pursuer monster in this part of the game." She says as Morpheus leaps through the air like a minecraft character making me spit my drink out in equal parts hilarity and fear.
It looked like soulsborne jumping fr, if only you could jump in this game too
That neck deform issue was common at the time and was often referred to as "goosing". It's when the mocap data is miscalculating the translates on the neck(the triangulation of raw cloud data points into a rotate/translate on the joint/animation control). Motion capture software solvers are much better today, but at the time the animators had to do a lot of cleanup post mapping onto the character rig. What I would often do is delete all the bad translate data and keyframe those from scratch, but likely this is probably a budget thing of not having enough production hours to fix all those frames of animation.
I scrolled down just as that part came up. Good explanation, cheers
@@therandomdickhead5744 Ever notice that they don't call it motion capture anymore, but "performance capture"? This is because a LOT more of the actors performance(including very subtle facial and body acting) can now be 1:1 mapped to the character rig, with the animators doing less work on the post side.
I always figured that would be just standard practice.. that being said honestly I am almost firmly in the hand animation camp.. just looking at some of the modern iterations of it from ID or valve.. especially when it's combined with a procedure animation system that can be written in code and scales to time interpolation instead of frames.. which that I might have said that all wrong but you probably of more than most people would know what I'm actually talking about LOL.. like I'm biased because it allows for modding much easier than having to do motion capture or having pre-canned animations.. it also solves a lot of problems in general with motion captured data and rigging and whatnot.. although like you can still end up with the same, especially if you sound design isn't built around it, that was where Valve really brought it home.. and then the PS3 and a single generation killed it entirely.. who knew that individual sounds were harder to play then giant uncompressed ones.. if you don't have a basic sound processor LOL go figure.. it's amazing how much that simple decision has had ripples over the years, I really really really miss the days when you could design a game for a different platform.. and actually design around it,.. as a PC player we haven't had that since crisis in the AAA scene, and the indie scene doesn't even bother anymore.. and even that isn't actually designed with the capabilities it's designed with the best practices which are essentially like saying it's designed for consoles, just the input alone.. and how much that's had a a horrible horrible brutalizing of game design(1).
Rant(1)
But I guess that motion capture comes into full play when it's just a standard practice that's design a game to play for you rather than actually play it yourself.. kind of like halo, the first game to really maximize on that potential.. make it seem like you're playing but actually be playing for you, cuz you have a dual analog controller and it's garbage for what it's trying to do.. it doesn't have to be garbage but it got stuck in a time loop for 20 years.. if you really want to get a good feel for how bad it is they have 2/3 keyboards and they sell them for several hundred dollars and nobody even bats an eye it's like a feature LOL
Fortunately Nintendo is outside of the time loop but unfortunately Nintendo is also outside of reality so that's just Nintendo's thing.. be interesting to see if VR makes crossovers in the 2D space because thus far that's the only innovation in peripherals that I've seen since the dual analog controller, with minor and completely ignored or marginalized iterations of things like gyro aiming, or the IR version of that that Xbox briefly tried and then managed to both fail by not actually providing the correct hardware but also by angering gamers that had built up muscle memory around a game that plays for you, if they had released the connect that worked I'm pretty sure it would have had the same result but.. you know at least it would have worked and could be something like the steam controller where I'm like that was a really cool idea I wish that was a thing.. how do I get out of this utterly boring timeline we're in.. I want the one with that boomerang controller, or you didn't just throw the controller at the screen it came back to you afterwards! might not actually have any impact on the future of gaming but at least it would be slightly more interesting than the boring garbage that we're stuck with now.
@@jakedill1304 the hell you talking about
also tbh most games work pretty well on dual analog controllers like action games or fighters and even platformers except on xbox controllers cuz they switch out the dpad making it horible for 2D platformers
its usually just shooters that are best on keyboard
This issue still pops up alot believe it or not. I've cleaned up a lot of mocap data with this exact issue in all my years of being an animator.
29:45
Bruce survives all of the zombie encounters, Morpheus, 2 Tyrants and trying to escape a death dropping elevator and gets absolutely OBLITERATED by Suzie lmao. I love it 😂😂😂
Wow I have actually never played Dead Aim and I had no idea about the mouse controls or the stealth!
Next month: 50 facts about Dead Aim's stealth features.
You not knowing things about resident evil seems to be a common trend for a resident evil TH-camr lol
Well well well, look who we have here...
Game is so old but it wasn't ever rare or not heard of just many people seems to have skipped it not liked it and never talked about it since it's not a numbered series. Resident Evil was never about the numbered series and i consider the spin off canon which pisses off the FAKE CORE FANBASE.
Suzi is the only person who can make me want to play a game while actively shitting on it
Her soothing voice, deadpan delivery, dry humor, and earnest passion are just so entertaining no matter what she's talking about.
@@rydz656 correction: 'she will do that' > she

@@uzaautumus Don't even bother engaging with that thing. Just let it post it's stupid, ignorant, cretinous, attention seeking drivel. Don't bother dignifying it with a response as any response would be a waste of us civilized people's time, and would be giving that thing what it wants.
She clearly love these RE gunshooters games the same way you love a dumb, ugly dog
There really is something to that effect 😂
At 21:24 I had to replay Suzi's entire point about Morpheus because I realized Bruce gets grabbed by The Orphan of Kos, straight up asks outloud if said monster is Morpheus and proceeded to just (without hesitation) point blank shoot it in the head. I dunno why but the order of those events just cracked me up.
Now that's what I call being clocked and deadnamed.
@@RyougiVector I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you are saying
@@gamesthatshouldbeframed3760 "being clocked" means somebody discovered you are trans by how you look. "being deadnamed" means somebody called you by a name you don't use anymore
I love how he aims the gun in that scene too, he reaches forward like someone serving food to a baby.
Not only that, but he also clips his arm through hers to shoot her face as well
I’ve heard zombies called “walkers” & “lame brains” but never “goofballs.” That was funny.
This was the perfect weekend rental game, and your every point was spot on.
"And then they FUCKED!"
When you pointed out that you can stealth this game, I had to stop the video and just think for a bit and I couldn't remember if I ever knew that.
It feels like this game was a labor of love. And this video had me cracking up. The “Bruce runs like such an idiot” had me actually dying of laughter. His neck at all times. Suzie’s delivery is underrated.
I think it really goes to show how much having easy access to things like reviews "ruin" gaming. I'm of the opinion a lot of games that have mixed/mostly positive reviews are honestly worth picking up and playing. Games sort of just need to be "good enough" IMO, they don't HAVE to be master pieces. This applies to anything really, and I think people owe it to themselves to branch out and play more games without worrying about what other people feel about them first.
I put the quotes on ruin since I think reviews are still good. Especially if you have limited time, and want to experience the best the genre has to offer, you should definitely be playing the best games, and a select cult classics, but I do miss the feeling I had as a kid playing something, not knowing if it was good or bad, if the mechanics were considered janky or not, and just enjoying what was in front of me, instead of missing the things that aren't there from other games.
Redfall was one of those games for me. I've for a long time avoided things like reviews, not really out of principle, I was just more interested in spending my time watching full on video essays like this, or educational content for the multiplayer games i'm trying to learn, so I have the somewhat unique privilege of not even knowing what is "hype" about new releases, meaning every-time I boot up a new game I buy, I get to make decisions about what's good or bad myself. I hadn't played a class based co op shooter in a long time, so Redfall for me was a lot of fun on release, even if in hindsight, it's missing a lot of things. Sometimes just being with 3 buds, shooting vampires and cultists with some neat abilities is just a great time even when I'm dropping frames and there aren't 50 unique weapons and the combat was a bit repetitive.
The "Zombies on a boat" thing, is really, really a fantastic idea, both for the aesthetic and for the claustrophobia.
Hasn’t it been used several times since, like in Revelations and RE7 near the end?
@@CursedWheelieBin I think it's the aesthetic of it being a dilapidated old timey cruise ship gives off a creepier vibe than the ships from re7 and revelations at least in my opinion.
@@plasmaoctopus1728 wasn't revelations a dilapidated cruise ship too? Granted there was more going on than that below decks but for the most part it was what you described.
Because of the implications.
Cold Fear, which is legitimately great.
Dead Aim feels like, "let's make the enemies/environment looks better" and they forgot to create the main character first.
Suzi: *Serious talk about if the villain is a trans or not, and how it’s refreshing for the game to just carry on instead of draw attention/make a joke of it*
Morpheus like two seconds later at 23:25: *Luigi flutter jump*
It's normal for resident evil games.
@@unknownuser494 Serious moments interspliced with goofy shit is the norm in this series. I love it.
Now I wonder if they named him/her Morpheus as a pun on morphing.
Yeah Morpheus is definitely a mix bag. It's like: Trans representation! ...yay?
I would say it was fair for 2003.
I think there's something hilariously funny that Bruce has gotten farther with Fong then Leon ever will with Ada.
That's just cause he needs to continue the Redfield bloodline and Ada is just an unpure fantasy compared to the true waifu Claire.
Leon and Ada have met up for 'quality time' outside of the games.
Bruce doesn't have a bloodline to continue
Let be honest Leon is kinda a nerd so most of the female cast in RE franchise friend-zone him subconsciously
Leon and Ada have canonically fucked, actually--They confirm it when they meet up in Damnation, although apparently their sexytimes was cut off by Ada going on an assignment.
Dead Aim is truly one of the video games of all time. The gameplay is playable, the graphics are rendered, the story is written and the voice actors say their lines. Out of all the entries in the Resident Evil series, this is definitely one of them.
It's Morpheustime!
I personally like the game quite a bit, all memes aside and is one of my favorite RE games. My family was pretty poor when I was a kid, so the only times I could get a game were either my birthday or on Christmas, and that's if I was lucky. I ended up getting my parents to buy Dead Aim for me at GameStop and I played the absolute shit out of it, so I have some very fond memories
@@chizdip8192 that's great man , RE-DeadAim was one of a kind and fun to play if you had a good Lightgun ( the best way to play it ) only wish it would have a "Mercenaries Mode" to make it complete , , ,👍😸👍
It's a game
As a kid if the game was playable I was in
Bizarely, this was actually my first RE game. Had the guncon and everything. As a kid I remember being horrified by the first zombie, and even more terrified when the hallway of corpses suddenly stood up. It may not be the best game, but it has a lot of charm. And pretty great atmosphere.
“Up yours, woke Morpheus, we’ll see who cancels who” made me die laughing, thank you.
That was a surprisingly good Jordan Peterson impersonation
@@Miss_Matched Could be any conservative grifter really, given how much they all follow outrage based scripts.
And from a mentality that claims to be all about “thinking for themselves!” and individualism, that’s a real phenomenon in itself…
Same. It was so shocking I just couldn't stop myself from laughing inappropriately.
@@osurpless Right, except those were Jordan Peterson's words almost word for word ;)
@@osurpless Ironic...
It's funny how the only thing about the RE universe that's consistent through every single game and film adaptation is how bad, truly terrible, Umbrella's security is.
And don't forget about the explosion at the end of the game.
I bought this game a week before my brother died, he was my gaming buddy, and I could never bring myself to play it after he was gone. Thanks for the video ❤️ it's a game I forgot I had until I saw your video, so it's interesting to see what the game is actually like

Suzi has some of the funniest line deliveries sometimes 😂
My only question is: Why couldn't Fong go with Bruce, when she was literally slated for deletion via spaaaaiiiisseee lazor?
Eh, maybe she changed her mind after Bruce's surprise reveal (him knowing some chinese).
Coming back to this, It's my headcanon that Fong was convinced to actually stay with Bruce while on the ride to shore in a Boeing CH-47 (the Chinook) and/or the "Fade To Black Fuck" was so mindblowing that Fong decided to stay because of that.

@@shadowlinkbds the other brothers cant deny lol
Honestly this game is very nostalgic for me. This was one of my first RE games I played as a kid( I'm 25 now). I used to watch my dad play Dead Aim among other RE titles, until I was brave enough to try it out myself. (I was like 13 at the time) when I eventually beat this game with my dad by my side cheering me on every second of the way through. The intro alone with the dope synth music, and the save room theme is honestly one of my favorite things about this game. This game deserves way more credit I feel. Man time flies, long live RE: Dead Aim.
😂🎉😮😅😊
That’s crazy we almost have the same story bro lol and that save theme is really something else, one the best
Honestly, the point on "T virus... plus G virus... TG virus??" made me laugh so hard I actually choked a little.
The jokes in this one were on point.
dude named morpheus takes both virus strains...
if this is isn't a nod to taking both pills from morpheus then i don't know what is.
Suzie: "i can aim just fine with a controller"

"bruce runs like such an idiot"
it's probably cuz of his neck problem
“Suzi, here’s a voice. It might come in handy if you, the master of talking, take it with you.”
Thus, a legend was born 💜
Definitely an entertaining retrospect on such an "interesting" classic. Thanks for sharing, Suzi!
Saw the video get posted and immediately was like "Oh hell yeah, Suzy's talking about the weird but good GunCon Resident Evil game!"
Also, I hope you cover Dino Stalker! It's the best sort-of sequel to Dino Crisis 2 without going to space.
Dino Stalker was also my favorite not-Jurassic Park arcade style games and I love it for that.
I really enjoyed the acting bits in this one as well as your deep dive - it was a very enjoyable crazy ride!
I always loved how they designed the game cover. Such a great composition. The orange, red, and yellow glow on Bruce's hair and face look amazing with the fiery apocalyptic red background full of bioweapons. And of course, Fong looks hot too. lol
that cover trick me into buying that game instead of Outbreak when I was a kid
I enjoy that we're getting more live action Suzi segments, especially the cosplay.
I just love how you say Bruce and Fong are essentially dollar store Leon and Ada. Which I’m very inclined to agree though I personally haven’t played this game despite my hearing of it in the past thanks to Game Informer magazines.
But then seeing Morpheus transform into a literally electrifying woman? I don’t know if you’ve played House of the Dead 3 but that to me is basically the final boss known as “Wheel of Fate” who is Dr. Curien resurrected and became transgender.
Yeah. RE: Dead Aim is unbelievably weird in countless ways.
Morpheous's transition is so cool. If only Umbrella helped other people of the world the same way for morpheous
Funny how umbrella also made beauty products.
@hehuho890 if umbrella just stuck to making trend-seeking makeup they would've made just as much bank. Lmao
Hearing Suzie say "... and then they FUCK! >:)" just made my entire month.
I need that on repeat for an hour
I Love the running gag on this review where Suzi is disturbed by Bruce's Stiff Neck everytime she sees his Broken Neck.
for some reason i think they wanted to make bruce's head move as player was in aim mode
but why go to such lengths?
23:20
I haven't laughed so hard before since... years maybe, lmao!
As a scrub, I find this incredibly offensive
It’s okay, we can’t all have Halo brain rot.
Take a shot every time Suzie says something about Bruce’s neck, face, accent, or anything else about him that’s just unintentionally funny 😅😂 this is probably my favorite video of yours yet. Burst out laughing more than a few times and man the nostalgia! I actually played THE crap out of this game back then as a kid.
The breakneck adventures of Leon and Ada's stunt doubles
There is something I love about PS2 era horror games, I'm talking about the dark atmosphere with the eerie music in the background that made you feel that you were in the creepy place with the characters.
Games like Fatal Frame 2&3, RE4, Kuon, Mortal Kombat (DA, Deception & Armagedon), DMC, etc. made perfect use of their visuals, the last time I feel that was with "FromSoft" games & the last two RE.
Very true! The silent hill games were also a great example of this.
Really just referred to MK as a horror game
@@zombiegodown5663 hahaha I was thinking whether to include it or not, but I'm talking about "dark atmospheres" more than anything, and the MK saga has several scenarios that seem to be taken from horror movies, such as the dungeons where you face Goro, the whirlwind of souls or any stage of the outworld.
Also Persona 3, Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne, Killer7, Siren
Dont forget rule of rose buddy
Hell yeah, more Suzi content! Love these videos, because I’ll likely never get to experience these games firsthand (probably for the best though)
Why can't you experience them?
Yeah and to get the inside scoop from one of their biggest fans.
some people don't like emulators, or just prefer to use the original hardware.
A lot of emulators are also illegal, and therefore can be of.... unpredictable quality.
Edit: Woops replied to the wrong person lol
Mobile touch screens are the worst sometimes.
"AND THEN THEY FUCK "
I dead ass spit my drink out 😂😂
Yeah Suzi was perfect there
The save room theme is so dreamy and hypnotic. The entire soundtrack has a totally different feel compared to previous games. I think the save room theme was a huge influence to Survival Spheres channel.
It's one of the most under appreciated themes
I’ve owned this game for years but I still haven’t played through it. Now I can barely wait to finally give this trans inclusive, broken neck simulator a shot!
I don't know what's scarier, Morpheus transitioning into a female Sephiroth or Bruce transitioning into a human giraffe.
Definitely Bruce.
This game would actually be a really good candidate for a remake. Like imagine it with Village graphics and still being able to shift back and forth between the 3rd and first person and make some improvements to the story and what not.

I've never heard Bruce so brutally tore apart from literally every single vantage point of judging a humans interactions and appearances haha
Dead aim was one of my favourite Resident evil games, extremely underated and needs a modern port.
I remember playing this with a light gun and reload pedal was a real unique experience.
The music and atmosphere is still unmatched to this day.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing a modern remaster/reboot of Dead Aim, especially since I've only ever heard of this game; and never played it. But Bruce McGivern and Fong-Lin really are the low budget versions of Ada Wong, and Leon S. Kennedy. I still prefer Leon and Ada; in RE2, but despite people saying Bruce got further with Fong-Lin than Leon does with Ada, that's because in RE2(i mean the original RE2, not the remake, in this case), Leon and Ada actually DO share a moment together, with Leon telling her not to leave because it's too dangerous out there because of "G" and the zombies, and she actually kisses him too, after healing the injury he just got from literally taking a bullet for Ada, who then wraps him in bandages. So, while I don't think Dead Aim is too bad, it's definitely crazy, and I agree with Suzi about this game being like James Bond meets Resident Evil, but it's also definitely got a bit of Sephiroth from FF7 thrown in there, but I also wouldn't mind a modern take on Dead Aim, but I'd also like to see more of remake Leon and Ada's relationship because I like them more. But Bruce and Fong aren't that bad as far as RE protagonists go, just a dollar store Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong, that's all. Nothing wrong if you preferred Dead Aim over RE2, or 4(my 2 favorite RE games in the series), even before the 2019 RE2 and the upcoming remake of RE4, starting my favorite RE character, Leon.
Quickly going from passionately raving about Resident Evil to passionately raving about the greatness of asses reminds me why I'm still subscribed to this channel
35:47 Suzi uses a level 3 super out of nowhere.
Ah yes, I remember playing this game as a 9 year old and that first zombie lady messed me up for life. When I heard her drop in the other room I contemplated turning off my ps2.
That part was dread inducing D:
I had a friend of mine whom I gave my GunCon to play the game, in a dark room, at night.
The bastard dropped my GunCon soon as that cutscene played. (I caught it before it hit the floor, thankfully)
@@Walksfar that game honestly was the vr of my childhood so exploring the dark hallways hearing moans in the dark was torture for me, genius environment design tbh
I like to imagine Suzi walks around in her every day life with tank controls.
Not gonna mention the horrific note them that blob creature transformation from a captured child into that thing, seriously one of the most memorable diary entries in the series
This is honestly one of my favorite guilty pleasure games. It's not perfect but I've got fond memories of playing it with my little brother watching (plus I love the ship setting)
I thought it hit the atmosphere dead on the money. I could give a shit about the main villain though.
You sound like a s**t brother 😄
Hogging the controller
Okay it may be a cool game, but the main character isn't a friend of the great Leon S. Kennedy, so... Survivor > Dead Aim
I love dead aim it's so campy, felt like playing a cheezy American action/horror movie. I know at the end of the day Dead Aim is one of low tier RE games but God will it forever hold a special place in my heart.
I'd love to see Dead Aim get a remake now that the RE Engine has basicly perfected it's first and third person controls.
Morpheus's successful transition was the best thing about this game to me.
If this game came out today, "Hardcore" gamers & Status Quo warriors would be throwing a fit that the games gone "Woke"
But Back in 2003, we didn't really give a toss.
@@Megaspartan23 WoKe is when wahmen and trans people exist 🙄

@@Megaspartan23 I always thought that the transformation was weird, but hey it's a virus shit, just go with it, it's part of the resident evil package.
Wasn't expecting the super accurate two-minute summarization of Irving's character and said mutation. That was a refreshing surprise.
It's good to see Suzi appearing in her videos more and more. She has star power. Is there a pun in there? S.T.A.R.S. power? Nah.

@@grawman67 Thank you, Grawman67.
I abused the ammo in save rooms since it literally keeps coming back if you go back in, so I had unlimited handgun ammo when near it or close enough. Also Wesker seemed to be the one who came up with that Mutation Theory in his note entitled: "Wesker's Notes on Differing Mutations" (See The Umbrella Chronicles) he stated: "I have a theory of Sergei's unique course of evolution. I had always assumed that the variety of effects the virus brings about on its host were random mutations. However, witnessing first-hand the effects on Sergei combined with what I know of Marcus's transformation points to a common thread between their outcomes. The host's mindset appears to influence the evolution of the virus..."
He continues a bit further after from this but this suffices to show even someone with expertise like Wesker seems to agree.
Btw I skipped almost the entire sewer area last I played, it was hella uneeded and even able to be pretty much skipped if you do it right. The voices also were definitely way to low. Pluto is the only time I cared to use the silencer as he is blind if I recall. That final ultimate gun felt like it was pretty much taken from Code Veronica. As for what happened here with the laser beam thing Morpheus wants money or will shoot missles at China, China is willing to pay 5 billion but as Bruce says Intel Agents are nothing but pawns so using the tracking chip they tried to take out Fong Ling an expendable and Fong Ling wants to continue her mission despite this as she says there's no guarantee even if he gets the money that he will not shoot the missles anyway. As for Bruce pointing at the radio he was saying that her bosses were constantly tracking her position.
That trans girl virus got me too
33:02 Well that was certainly a banging ending 😂
the name morpheus was popularized by the matrix… the matrix has themes about being trans and was directed by trans women… morpheus in this game is trans… i see a connection here
I looked into this out of curiosity, since these characters were the RE representation in Namco X Capcom (apparently they couldn't use the more famous ones because at the time their games were being released on Nintendo hardware; when that was followed up by the Project X Zone games several years later, Chris and Jill got to be the RE reps), and the Spencer Rain got featured in a NxC stage or two. Kinda neat, I guess. Wasn't expecting the nature of the final boss, neat detail - IIRC only the grunt mobs made it to NxC, so I was unaware of that plot point.
I wonder if this game's incident and characters ever got referenced again in the series...
Also, Hormone Replacement T-virus
This is my first time ever seeing the sphere hunters face ever, you did a good job making your animated characters give off the same vibe as you
I've been writing that she should show her self more often for a long ass time now. Her videos are incredible as it is. But let's not kid ourselves she'll get a lot more views like this
She is also an active streamer on Twitch
So as I was hearing the music, I was like "this sounds oddly familiar". And then you mentionned Cavia. Sure enough, the composer for Dead Aim is also one of the composers for Drakengard. It explains the moody unnatural sampling i kept hearing
Pluto had the opportunity to be one of the creepiest Tyrants but that running animation was too hilarious! Can't believe I wrote this game off originally as a crappy spin off. Thank you for making this fantastic review on it Suzi, now I genuinely want to hunt it down and buy it!
I really loved this game, Bruce is my second favorite character after Jill. He was doing one-liners before Leon, and gained muscle before Chris(As shown in Namco x Capcom).
My dad has this game.I remember vaguely watching him play it at 6. I remember being around 9 in 2010 and trying it when he was at work. I remember being frustrated at the fact I had to switch perspectives. However, for some reason this one always integrated me and I don’t know why. I wanna go back and try it again now as an adult. Fun fact years later when my dad played “revelations 1”. He said he was nervous to play it because the last resident evil game to take place on a boat was pretty bad which was dead aim😂.
Maybe he was referring to Resident Evil Gaiden, the black sheep of the RE boat games.
It was only available for Nintendo's hand-held sytems. Did your father have a GBC, GBA OR DS?
If not then it was probably Dead Aim.

I loved Morpheus growing up and thought they were a cool villian. I actually was this many days old when I found out the T + G virus mentioned here! I didn't even know! My brain just assumed some creatures in the while can spontaneously change sex so this mutation I thought was like that. Still thanks for the added info and context to colour my next run of the game.
i always thought that they mutate without specific gender
dude mutated himself beyond recognition with two different virus strains
there's no going back from that
kinda like excella gionne mutated into giant what he fuck
or final boss of RE 4
or what was wesker's plan if he killed chris? show only his face?
man these zoom meetings in umbrella are weird as hell
This really does feel like a lost RE4 prototype. It clearly experimented with alot of ideas - both good and bad - that would pop up in later 3D games.
The... TG VIRUS?!?! Oh no... boo - hiss!!!
I loved this one, actually... probably because my uncle gave it to me, so I didn't have to pay at all, but it was kinda refreshing to be able to move and shoot. It was a good middle ground between "stiff as fuck" and "RE6-Imma-jump-on-the-floor-to-look-cool".
The video was a lot of fun and yes, the *TG* virus thing has been living in my head rent-free since I realised what they did, years ago.
The trans tyrant theory is pretty interesting, never thought from this perspective but it makes a lot o sense!! Great video as usual
Dam you look exactly like your art avatar you use in thumbnails
I don’t know if you have ever heard this series of games (2 of them), called ObsCure.
It’s very similar to Resident Evil and Silent Hill. It’s 3rd person, had fix camera angles, and in the first game, there is a combination mechanic that is similar to Rising Dead, but not as polished. The game came out in 2004/2005, so it kind of had old and newer ideas in it. It also has local play as well, for 2 people. The controls aren’t amazing (the first one has where you have to hold down square/x button on PS2/X-Box to toggle the inventory and do the same on the circle/b button for weapons, and then if you want to combine you have to hold the inventory button and press that x/a button and the directional pad to do that, and reload; it’s a pain and thankfully the second game gave a better menu in the select button, as well for actions with them).
But my favorite part of the first one (I’m playing right now) is the school, which I think is modeled after French schools, but is placed in America. It gives it that RDP being a former museum feel. My canon of it (it doesn’t really explain much about the school), is that it was a private school or a college back in the early 20th century, and when stuff happens in the dorms, they closed down that and made it a more modern high school, maybe. It looks old and such, but it’s pretty pretty and a great setting. The second one is also good, because it’s in a college and it has really cool, since you get to go outside the campus, go to a frat house, a hospital, dorms, and other places. It’s pretty cool, but you don’t get to go to the campus for more than a minute.
I also love the characters. They aren’t well detailed in both, but the second has pretty good characterizations. The first game pretty much wanted to give the player more control, so they didn’t really push their characterizations on you, though I have a physical copy and in the manual, it fleshes them out. But the cool thing is, whoever is the first player, their character shows up in cutscenes. There’s even one where they go down a place and the members not in the party are coming in a door, like they meet us with the player(s) characters. And my favorite thing about it is the fashion. The first game has better ones, especially Shannon, but I’m also a fan of orange and green. The second game also ahs good fashion, but the cutscenes are horrible in it and most characters look like crap, even though their game models look pretty good (I assume they didn’t have a great budget and the cutscenes weren’t done by the same person). The first game also had bigger voice actors, though I think most of them do good. And the last thing about characters I want to say is that it’s a little diverse. Back when games barely had non-white or anime characters in their main cast in most games, ObsCure had at least 3 characters of color, Ashley in the first game, black, and twins Mei and Jun, Chinese-American. And o really liked it, since it made the casts looks more interesting than fully white casts, like a 80’s/90’s movie.
The monsters are pretty cool too, which you can hurt them with light, made with plants like RE from Africa. I’d say they are like the Ivy monsters in RE2 and like the hunters as well. I like that it’s one monster type (as in how they became monsters, since they were human) so it’s not too hard to see them be related.
And the game was inspired by The Faculty (1998), but with plant monsters instead of aliens. The character Stan in both games looks like Josh Hartnett who was in the movie and takes name from the jock character in the movie. Even in the second game, they have a character modeled after Deryck Whibley of Sum 41, who had a song in the opening credits of the first game; and like the name Stan, in the MV for the song in the first game, Deryck played a character in the MV named Sven, which was a name given to the jock character in the second game. They like doing that, making pop culture references with their characters.
I mostly just wanted to give you a new game to play (easiest way to play it is on steam, because PS2 copies are expensive for the first game (the second one might be easier to find cheaper). You might find the x-box one cheaper too, I got it for like 80 bucks (I wish it wasn’t so much and my copy wasn’t as good condition as the sell said so), but the steam versions of both have higher definition for the in game play. Some cutscenes mess up, especially in the first one on steam and both don’t have volume sliders, so don’t have it too loud). I also think you’ll like the music, since it’s a choir-esqe type sound track and really matches the mood to empty schools.
I hope you check it out; I think you’ll like it and maybe want to dress like Shannon Matthews, because I love her first game style. They do have that panties out of low rise jeans. Also, since both came out I the 2000’s and have teens/ young adults, it really has this teen horror movie vibe of the late 90’s and the 2000’s, and it’s really fun.
I forgot in the first one, you have options mapped into the directional pad where you have make the computer player (on single player gameplay) where you can make them fight or search or whatever, kind of like Dead Rising. It’s pretty cool and I was suprised. There is also a part where you turn on lights and the school breaks down (the first game again) by the monsters destroying it, which reminded me of when you wanted RE2 remake to have it where you can light up the RPD building, which this game kind of does in its one way.
Theres 3 games. Final Exam is part of the series
obscure and obscure the aftermath were one of my favorite games growing up. Heavily reminds me of the faculty film!
Obscure 2 really fucked up by giving us a linear story instead of the open-ended approach from the first game tho. No longer being able to choose who lives and who dies was a real bummer.
@@JMsolidsnake I know, but I just wanted to include the first two rather than all three, since it’s not really in the same vain as the first too.
This game's save room theme IMO is probably the best alongside 0 and CV. I would literally back in the day put down the controller for a good 3 to 4 hours napping to it.
Another excellent video Suzi! You got me smiling and laughing on this weird side game throughout the video. Can't wait for your take on the Outbreak series!
And Revelations too, I hope.
I totally forgot that I played and beat this game in less than 2 hours until I watch this video. It was a fun game but very forgettable. You definitely brought back some cheesy memories.
I liked this game a lot as a pre teen. I remember devoting some my summer vacation to seeing how many times I could beat it one day haha. Think was bout 4 times.
It's crazy how many RE games used ideas and mechanics from this game afterwards. They've used a lot of ideas from spinoffs in the main games over the years.
I kind of love this game, many great memories laughing my ass off, using the Controller & Guncon Combo, and playing with a gameshark to enable 3rd Person Aiming, but I barely touched it after 4 came out. A goofy Easter egg I discovered, if you repeatedly fire a shotgun at the exact same spot, eventually the bullets form a huge spiral. This was also the first Resident Evil game where you could move and shoot at the same time. I always hoped they would bring Bruce back in some capacity, even if he's just a low level BCAA character.
Bruce and Ark are canon, but are forgotten, hardly we will see them again in 3d
Yeah, especially when Leon brings him up during a convo.
Finally!, Someone who remembers the game shark
Bruce isn't part of the BSAA, he's part of the Anti-Umbrella Pursuit and Investigation Team, an elite US Government team made directly after the fallout of Raccoon City's destruction. Barry, Krauser and Leon were a part of this team, and was the precursor to the BSAA, the FBC in Revelations, and Blue Umbrella(since the FBC and Blue Umbrella are US government sponsored programs)
I actually enjoyed the game when it came out. It's flawed and short, but very fun. I do have a few points to discuss.
1) I'm glad you brought up the subtitles. I remember laughing my ass off back in the day. My assumption is that the subtitles were based on an earlier draft of the script.
2) Interesting how you brought up Bruce and Fong's relationship and compared it to a spy movie from that era. I didn't become a James Bond fan until several years after playing this game, and I found that their dynamic is very, very much similar to the one shared between Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Yeoh in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997).
3) Yeah, it did indeed look like Bruce and Fong did it in the floating Twinkie at the end. But I always found it funny that the clincher in Fong's mind was that Bruce knew at least one word of her native language and had been to her country at least once. "That wasn't in your dossier!" Cupid's arrow works in mysterious ways.
You've earned yourself a new subscriber. :)
Suzi’s personality is so infectious. Would love to hangout with her and talk RE
Petition for fan panels at conventions of choice?
Whew. I can’t disagree.
Came for a great RE retrospective spoken by the gift that is Suzi's voice, left with potential knowledge about how a person injecting themselves with a virus can result in them becoming a trans biologically hazardous fish with organic high heels...
Looks weird on a resume, but I have no regrets
Idk if I believe Morpheus is trans, where are her programmer socks
Loved this one ironically enough, the gameplay was decent enough and the "female" Tyrant actually had me scared hearing the sound of heels clacking. Though one blind failed Tyrant was unintentionally hilarious.
I remember playing this back in the day; and wondering whether this game was actually made by Capcom, or whether it was a pirated knock off. Lol, the game was that weird to me.
Would looove die you to do vids on resi outbreak files 1&2🥰🥰
The ad reads are soo good Suzi!! also still laughing at the "I love butts" bit 🤣
I was lucky enough to know somebody with a working guncon back in the day, and dead aim was incredibly fun as a light gun game. The bosses in particular seem pretty intentionally designed with light gun aiming in mind. It's too bad you never got to try it that way Suzi, you might have liked its goofy BS even more!
You look goodt! I did not know you was a real person never seen you I love the resident evil videos 🫢❤️
For me this game has the creepiest atmosphere of all resident evil games. I remember playing this when it came out and it was really scary. The only thing I don't like about this game is that it's really short you can literally beat this game in like 20 MINUTES! LITERALLY!!
