William Birkin is by far my favorite enemy in resident evil, there's just a sense of satisfaction from seeing his gradual transition from a human to a nonsensical mass of eyes, teeth and tentacles.
I JUST realized that Birkin's claws become bloody after striking Claire at 10:25. They're regular beige/white before, then are bloody after. Such a good detail for 1998.
Honestly I did notice it in the past but thought it depended on how much damage Birkin suffered during the fight. The fact that it matches his attacks on Claire instead is definitely impressive for a PS1 game.
Re2 bosses in this video: G monster (Claire A) 3:50. William G1 (Leon B ) 5:03. Alligator (Claire A) 7:22. William G2 (Claire A) 9:40. William G2 (Leon B) 12:17. William G3 (Leon B) 15:18. Super tryant (Leon B) 25:06. William G3 (Claire A ) 26:43. William G4 (Claire A ) 26:58. William G5 (Leon B) 31:37.
I literally find 19:45 so hilarious, because she just shoots Mr. X with that facial expression, lots of camera movement, and her getting slammed on the ground LOL.
32:26 you know there is something terrifying about the fact that G just eats a shot from the rocket launcher and 3 Magnum rounds and 12 pistol rounds before dying. Especially considering the Rocket Launcher, mere moments alone, blew up Mr X like he was glass.
To be fair, That super Tyrant was heavily weakened by the lava it fell to. Which is why he was on fire, if You look at RE3 all the rocket rounds which possibly one of 2 were for the regular mr X and the Super Tyrant is still good after taking those shots, his body is still ok where here the super tyranr blew into millions of pieces, My theory is the Super tyrant being the superior to the regular T-100 it can now absorb a rocket shot just like in the remake takes the shot in hardcore while its heart is exposed like the super tyrant here. Atleast thats the facts I gather from RE3 seeing all those dead soldiers with only 3 Tyrants.
Although my favorite game is Resident Evil 3, in my opinion Resident Evil 2 is the most constructed and beautiful to play of all franchise. Not only because the soundtrack is exceptional, as well game itself manages to guide you to each type of emotion according to the gameplay in a sensational way, not only that but also the story is splendid in addition to being surrounded by a lot of Easter Eggs. After Resident Evil 2, Code Veronica, Zero, 1, and of course 3 are the bests. Despite Resident Evil 4 be a little different from its predecessors, it's still a special game on your own way
@@YOYODODO hey? Quick heads up you put nemesis in the description and that's Mr X not Nemmy just wanted to point that out :) also I watched it again an it was even better the 2nd time as I play re2 remake on PC doing Claire b
RE2 remake is actually solid.. however the RE3 was such a let down.. The original one is my favorite game and they just ruined by cutting most of the iconic segments of the game 😕

@@PS2GAMER100 I see your point I suppose we can agree on nothing from RE4 has been able to stand next to the original trilogy.. maybe Revelations 1. I miss games like code Veronica such an underrated piece of art

@@celimocr6990 res 4 is a good game on its own but not as a resident evil game and while it did revolutionize modern 3rd person shooters it ended the traditional res formula but It's still a good game without the resident evil name but yea and never played revelations as I never had a 3ds but since it got ported to ps3 and 4 I'll give it a try as the ship location looks great atmosphere wise and reminds me of cold fear on ps2
Even though the remake makes things mostly simpler with Claire being with Sherry the whole story and Leon and Claire don’t meet as often and that Leon is always fighting the Super Tyrant regardless of scenario and same with Claire fighting Brikin but it’s still the same in almost every way. The G5 Birkin boss I always finish as Claire but I always assume it’s Leon and Claire since the story is about both and while Birkin had more of a presence in Claire’s story.
I remember watching this...I had claire version game,I played it before when I was a kid...when I grow up,I watch all resident evil to find out every story,no wonder sherry from resident evil 6 sound similar,use was actually from resident evil 2 when she was little!
I still have (and still occasionally play) the original RE 2 for the N64. One of my favorite RE games to play and played most of them all the way up to RE 6
Not going to lie, Williams' final form might be the most monstrous boss in the resident evil franchise in my opinion just because he's this gelatinous blob of flesh that you can't even kill by normal means it has to get taken out by a damn explosion and it might be the contrast between his first and last form that really makes him even more monstrous
Resident evil 2 best strategy to defeat bosses: Claire scenario A bosses recommend weapon: G monster: acid rounds. Alligator: destroy canister on his mouth. William G2: flame rounds. William G3: flame rounds. William G4: flame rounds. Leon scenario B bosses recommend weapon. William G1: magnum. William G2: magnum. William G3: magnum. Super tyrant: improved magnum then rocket launcher. William G5: rocket launcher first then improved magnum.
It's nice seeing these games in HD but some things clearly we're not meant for that type of enhancement. I prefer the original Ps Version on a CRT. Hides most imperfections. The train boss looked absolutely ridiculous here. Like, even more so. You know what doesn't change though? Still one of the greatest games ever.
10:45 G is losing control and birkin was slowly taking over as you can see birkin's head was going from G's chest right to the top right next to G's head.
Pretty stupid how they chose to cut out Birkins transformation cutscenes in the REmake. Watching him mutating into G-3 is one of the most terrifying moments in videogame history
25:56 I just notice a mistake in this part here went Leon shoot from different angle, if you look close the background, the Tyrant was stand close to the door
Also the self destruction in the originals chills even in 3 ALL PERSONALSSSS EVACUATE ImmeediATEly!!!!! LETS GO JILL.....YOU WANT stars......ILL GIVE YOU starrrrsssss
You mixed things up, the first appearance of William in your video has got to come after the first two. Also would have liked to see him killing Ben and Irons, they're pretty important scenes for understanding what William even is
Inserting a G-embryo inside her since she was genetically compatable (the same way he did to the reporter and police chief but they weren't compatible) . I assure you that his pants stayed on. . . which only makes it marginally better honestly.
William Birkin is by far my favorite enemy in resident evil, there's just a sense of satisfaction from seeing his gradual transition from a human to a nonsensical mass of eyes, teeth and tentacles.
He was made all the better in the remake because we can see all of this in such graphic detail it’s amazing
@@dlm292 and he’s unstoppable mutating beast, that live only to kill and reproduce!
@@TigerWing141 I wouldn't say unstoppable seeing as he was killed in his final form on the train, meaning he was able to be stopped.
@@AFellowDoktuh I know that, I am just to scary meme man in Bart Simpson tone.
I truly don't think he died on the train. Sure, it was a big explosion, but remember, he heals from a single cell.

But yeah, that's a really nice touch.

X GON GIVE IT TO YA!
He’s been doing this for 19 years, actually more than 19 years
The battle music of Birkin is one of the best themes l ever heard
Chris: You telling me this isn't enough to get you two together? Damn it Leon!!!
Oh Mr X bursting through the press room walls. I’m playing with a friend & us both yelling “Oh $h*t!” Good times.
At 6:33 i always wondered how Sherry wasn't able to notice her father
he didn't even look that mutated, just his arm and half his face
Maybe because of the angle she saw him. She was only staring at his mutated side.
No, I'm pretty sure she knew.
Great video and quality, I loved this game and still have it.
I’m thinking of playing this tomorrow since I’m off.
Resident evil 2 greatest game of all time right here🔥
I wish Capcom would AI upscale 1,2, and 3 and bundle them with Code Veronica HD for the Switch
0:50 the remake did a great job here too!

More like "no....!"

Resident evil 2 is the Terminator2 of the game world. Absolute classic that won’t be topped no matter how many sequels.
I love this soundtrack better than the remake
Mr X does a great job , carries all bullets around without using any gun :)))

10:45 G is losing control and birkin was slowly taking over as you can see birkin's head was going from G's chest right to the top right next to G's head.
YOOOO AWESOME DETAIL
@@OnlyWaifuYT yup and i bet 90% of players never saw that when then did this level
William Birkin was terrifying as he mutated more. Mr. X was just a pain in the ass every time he just came out of nowhere and wanted to fight.
Yeah to be honest
Mr x have rival with leon
Pretty stupid how they chose to cut out Birkins transformation cutscenes in the REmake.
Watching him mutating into G-3 is one of the most terrifying moments in videogame history
That’s crazy how all that used to look like that back then now when you getting chased by the tyrant it’s way scarier
never seen the background and character models so clearly...
there were so many details you missed if playing on a tube tv...
Leon: Game over (leon useing Rocket launcher and shooting at Super Tyrant)
The best resident evil 2 version will al ways be the original hands down
The remake was cool too but not better than this classic game over ….
Tremendo video de este juegazo ademas que muestra la sincronización genial entre escenarios, el clásico siempre sera el mejor ❤
Wish the consoles could get a HD rerelease like this Beauty😍🥰🤓
13:30 Leon: Awww shit here we go again
I like how the cut scenes are the only thing thats hd
That split screen was epic
When Tyrant-103 gave you ammo after he fell to the floor. Back then when he was kind. Now, in the Remake, he doesn't give you anything lmfao.
The remake was great but the original still the best
For me is the Tyrant, when I was a little kid I couldnt defeat him & now I finally beat him down😎👊
Birkin was and still is the best enemy in the entire series, IMO way better than Nemesis
Uuoolll que show, agora sei toda a ordem certa👌🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Massa. Nostálgico.
Great memories. What a great time to be a kid the 90s was.

NICE in 4K
Blessed be the G-Virus!
Leon - Disc 1 - Scenario A
Claire - Disc 2 - Scenario B
