My game developer teacher actually taught us that Yes should always be the default option so I agree with that observation :D
Exception: "Are you ready?"
@@RianQuenlin hehehe I mean depends if you wanna be a troll or not 😏
Serious question. Why not have a third, hidden option that cannot be chosen but holds the text selector in the middle? Then the player can push right for yes and left for no.
@@PinkManGuy There are far, far easier ways to handle that than what you described.
@@RianQuenlin lol
Echoes of the living is a great zombie IP name, it’s wholly original yet is so reminiscent of great zombie stories
This really does actually look Awesome! Growing up with the original resident evils. It’s really cool to see this with an unreal engine and fixed cameras.
Give me back my profile pic!!
yeah, except for putting emergency push to open bars on the wrong side of a fire door rofl, "in the event of a fire, push to cause a massive explosion lol"
To be perfectly honest most horror these days is not scary because people in our generation today have the emotional maturity of an 11 year old and are more worried about how something makes them "FeeL" rather then playing a game like this or watching a horror movie like Hellraiser II Hellbound that could be considered scary. The last descent Horror movie I watched was the Devils Rejects and that was 18 years ago.
Yeah, this has the same eerie atmosphere, as the originals.
Game looks good. I love her outfit as well. Love the bar as well. Let's just have a pint and wait for this to all blow over lol.

You know what really spoils such a reference? When someone has to comment that it's a reference..........
@@AB-80X You what spoils TH-cam comment sections? Dumbasses like you arguing stupid point. I made it easy for others to understand. You don't have to hate bro 🤣🤣🤣🍏
"I've literally never done that, except maybe once or twice." 😂
Around 1:23:00 you talk about Jill’s blonde hair and if it will get retconned. I remember reading in a file somewhere that it was due to her reaction to uroboros virus. Because of her infection in raccoon city and the subsequent g vaccine, she developed abnormally powerful antibodies which allowed her to stave off infection of all kinds including uroboros. The pale skin, hair and eyes are a side effect manifesting physically due to her immune system fighting off infection for years. It likely affected her genetic makeup overtime causing a mutation in her genes.
I love how you confidently managed to get a lot of details wrong. lol Jill's hair color changing was a side effect of the drugs used to keep her in a medically induced stasis. Jill also was never infected with G virus or Uroboros. Her body developed T-antibodies from her infection from Nemesis, and the T-virus which remained mutated, causing her body to create better, stronger antibodies. It's these antibodies that led Wesker to the creation of a strain of Uroboros more compatible with humans, which obviously wasn't saying much.
@@SilentHellVG no need to be passive aggressive. correct them without seeming like an "um actually *snort*"
Thank you YT algorithm. I love the old school RE games! Looks good, hope it stays consistent.

What amazes me is the fact that these kinda games are way more scary than today's scary games! fixed camera adds a lot to the horror factor.
yeah, because with fixed camera angles they can easily control what the player can see, when they see it, and how they see it, that streamlines where the player would focus their attention, as opposed to when the player has full control over the camera and/or is over the shoulder/first person view like in the action themed Resident evil games, in the latter people would focus on whatever the hell they choose and this could potentially lessen the effect of the aspects designed to catch the attention of the players
Fixed camera PLUS tank controls.
@@xLuis89x yep like in re2 remake. You can potentially miss marvin getting up as a zombie because you can trigger him getting up even if you're over by the item box. It makes it weird hearing the character say oh no marvin when nothing is even happening on the screen. Plus the removal of music and making it real time just ruined all horror. The remakes suck.
That's why retro rules
@@terry85mar This is the worst take I've ever seen.
This looks amazing, but my only complaint is the lack of thinking needed. You unlock door a which gives you a key to door b which gives you a key to door c, and there’s so much ammo that you never feel any danger.
i can write good puzzles for games
@@odgreenshq6221 Your cookie is being sent in the mail.
no one cares kid
@@odgreenshq6221 That's good. Maybe you can help design games one day.
@@ramrodbldm9876 gotta suck being you, im 33 with a family, and all you got is hate. youre a social bum sucking cock for compliments behind the crack house fuck face lol
@@ramrodbldm9876 Why be such a dick? He probably can write better puzzles than this games creators.
This game is REALLY promising, I had a lot of fun with the demo. I'm a game designer myself and I particularly loved the scenery and camera angles are perfect. However, I have two very important critcisms:
1) The way enemies react to damage in general is too weak, but specially with the shotgun. Seriously, you can't mess this up, a weak shotgun detracts from the entire combat experience. Increase their body response to getting shot, or just add more blood/schreds of flesh flying from them when they are hit. In regards to the boss, sometimes it's hard to tell if you are hitting him or missing the shots because he doesn't react and the blood effects are too weak. I get that he shouldn't be stunned easily but you gotta find a way to make it so it's obvious when you hit him. Resident Evil classic was more exaggerated on the blood effects, I think maybe for that reason.
2) while the character design is not bad by any means, I have no idea who they are supposed to be. This is not ideal. Ideally, you should be able to tell with a single glance what kind of people they are/their occupation by their appearance alone. With those protagonist, although they look good, they seem like generic models you will find on Artstation in some asian Unreal Engine artit's portfolio.
Of course this is a demo so i'm sure the full game will have them more flashed out, but I'm talking particularly about character design which is something you have to settle in an early stage (so maybe it's too late to change). My advice is to at least make them have different hair color and give each an specific color pallet. I would make the girl blonde, but that's just me.
Lastly, still talking about character design, the Boss isn't interesting at all. Since the cutscene that shows him is very short and the camera is away from him, there's no visible details. Resident Evil and Silent Hill give their bosses one or two over the top characteristic that makes them instantly memorable. William Birkin has a Giant eye on his shoulder. Pyramid Head has... a huge pyramid head and a huge sword.
Give the boss something to make us remember him, like for example make it so it looks like his body was fusing with some of those spiders - it will also connect him with that enviroment and previous enemies. If he is a bioweapon, give him a robot arm, like if he was cyborg or something. In general, some very particular characteristic.
Unless he is supposed to be a generic enemy and not exactly a boss, I would really change him.
Just a quick question: given that you're a game designer, do you know of anyone making old school 8 bit style Metal Gear games? (MG, MG2, Snakes Revenge). Those were my favorites. thx
@@srujan00 You mean the classic ones, right? Sorry, I don't know any project that takes inspiration from it
Love the look of that game, there is some serious original RE2 and 3 vibes
Looks really cool but I hope they fix some of the sound effects and ragdoll physics. The gun and gib sounds fall flat and ragdoll physics deflate the sombre tone with silliness. But footstep sounds and ambience is great and graphics look fantastic too.
Thanks for turning me on to this title! It's so hard to keep up with everything sometimes. I will be checking this out on release.
Took one look at the Steam and immediately clicked the Demo. I'm an old school RE fan and this looks like it'll scratch that itch.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
This game really does look incredible, was watching you stream some of it.
love the bit of ragdoll physics the zombies have.
I absolutely love how this looks. This is insane
The Male gets a Desert Eagle and the handgun parts to turn his pistol into the lighting hawk i think thats the name from RE3 and get critical shots
Re2 actually. Leon's gun. Jill gets 6 shooter.
It’s in re3 remake too it’s the hidden case in the middle of the hospital courtyard u got to be Jill to get it she can squeeze thru the top area to get to the hidden ledge to jump down and discover someone dead that looks like he belongs to hunks team and next to him is the case with a lighting hawk
This is what I wanted the RE2 and RE3 remakes to look like. And it's gorgeous. You can tell they did some location scouting to make the locations look authentic.
I can't tell you how disheartened I am that after 20 years, the kind of remake that RE got and I was wanting RE2 and RE3 to get, I had to accept is never going to happen.
This is surprisingly good with so much potential. I’ll keep an eye on it.
I like the styling, I enjoy the creepy environment, and controls are the most important part in any game. Definitely a good blueprint for something greater. 💯
Th dirty toilet, "No way I'm touching that" and "James was here" written on the wall... I understood that reference.
I'm going to gripe about the gun handling. You're not going to jump THAT much from firing a 9mm handgun, and you DO NOT rack the slide on a partial/tactical reload, you just eject an unspent round from the chamber that way. For a reload from empty, you should use the slide release, not slingshot.
Around 48:00 the whiteboard has a drawing of Finn from Adventure time and I think 2 AMONGUS crewmates. lol
This is the style of resident evil 2 remake that i want :(
😂🤣😂@10:25 Old man zombie is doing the infamous impossible dope fiend bend. 💉
Looks incredible, does everything right that made the RE/Dino Crisis games great, soundtrack is even perfect which has gotta be one of the hardest things for a small dev to emulate
Agree
The camera angle is bring back those ps1 memories though
Pick up item prompts should default to "Yes/confirm". Saves a button press and allows you to mash the prompt.
As someone who has made games in Unreal Engine, I'm very impressed by this. It's very clean and many aspects that one or two person teams usually skip are here. I kept saying "oh wow, they did that?" or "Whoa, I can't believe they did that". Anyone who's ever tried their hand at game development knows what I'm talking about. Very impressive.
Me watching him miss the shotgun in the manager room Sadge
Thats a VERY generous demo, especially considering how short survivor horror games tends to be.
Petition to bring unrealisticly attractive goth chicks back to games
48:25
That was REALLY weird, never once seen this game or played it but instantly knew that gas station because it's a modded map for 'Ready or Not'
This game looks awesome! Makes me sad for 3 remake cause they couldve done raccoon city so well, but we barely got to see it..such a shame. Hopefully this comes to console! Also, silent Hill the 1st movie is a GREAT video game to movie adaptation.
No it's not the first silent hill movie is based on the first games story and they butchered it
13:59
The way the zombie got though the door was so unrealistic. 🤣 All zombies' moviments are so exagerated.
It's always such a shame with these games that the writing almost never is made with the intention of making it more than a one and done experience
i mean that's the difference between an indie dev and a AAA studio. An indie team has to do everything themselves where as a AAA studio has an entire dedicated writing team or even in the case of elden ring hires george rr martin. I understand your sentiment and get your point but it would be an absolute miracle for a small team that's really good at making video games to also be incredibly skilled writers.
I think it has to do with the fact that a massive company directly benefits from dragging a recognizable franchise around. If you bookend every game with "The End" you can't make money off the sequel!
@@PinkManGuy thats a valid point as well. What I'm trying to say is a talented indie dev team might not be the most talented at crafting a story. Their craft lies in game development and may not be the most skilled writers. Thats where I say a AAA studio can literally just pay a talented writer to make their story. Like from software paying for George R.R. Martin to write the story for elden ring.
@@readifer you kinda took a bad example with Elden ring, since Martin only provided some of the story. The souls games have great writing and story on their own, but yeah, once you have a dedicated writing team it becomes a whole different beast
@@thomaskopv2366 yeah thats fair I suppose that wasn't the best example but I more was just trying to emphasize how larger studios have a dedicated writing team sometimes with talented authors even helping. I should have picked a better example xb
Wow this game is well done ! Even the shooting mechanics
Wow, hats off to the art direction. This game looks incredible.
That save room theme is great
with better animation and creepy theme , this gonna be perfection
To answer the Jill question about the healed scars and not aged. She was infected and after being healed he body had merged with the virus slightly to basically give her a healing factor and slower aging. That's the excuse given.
I'm only a little way in but I'm loving the atmosphere of this game. I would love to learn how to make something like this
its a friggin demo on steam wot do u mean you're a little way in lol
52:24 You use the knife to kill Jack Krauser in RE4.
43:57 the sound of when you complete a level in unreal return to na pali
Nice video, the best part was when you jumped out of your chair!
The save room theme is amazing! Kind of reminds me of those beta wave/help you sleep videos.
This might be the best mod I’ve seen so far. The details are amazing.
It's not a mod, it's a game unto itself.
Love the resident evil 1.5 character select screen
I love this game. I played the demo through with both characters. I will be looking forward to the full release, hopefully next Halloween.
So does this mean the webs confirm there is a spider boss?
Wait what's the bread joke from silent hill 3? oh lol he said it right after
Actually there was a concept for a live action Resident Evil show it was a detective that was investigating the murders that lead to the zombie outbreak in raccoon city you know how you read about those cops investigating murders in the original game? yeah it takes inspiration from that but IT NEVER GOT GREEN LIT I can't for the life of me understand why the proof of concept for it is AMAZING.
The trouble is people adapting stuff generally are not even fans of the source material which I think helps MASSIVELY in adapting it properly.
Finally! after RE4 i thought we d never see anything like the OG's...our prayers have been answered!
Have you tried Tormented Souls?
SILENT HILL 2 EASTER EGG IN THE BATHROOM! "no way i'm touching that" and '"james were here" are from sh2 ref.
Really need a ps5 release!!
wow 1:06:00 ! what a beautiful soundtrack!
32:22 is clearly a reference to Resi 3 - 100%
That face on the inventory screen kills me.
I facepalmed at the "Analgesics" part lol
Awesome game! Can't wait to see the full version
Had good fun with the demo! But it really still needs a insane amount of polish and possibly a UI overhaul. They did nail the vibe and enviroments.
Looks just like Raccoon City in Resident Evil 3 this is what the remake of Resident Evil 3 should have been like from the start as in atmosphere.
I agree. Re3 remake is trash the streets look so corny of what we saw from it.
@Joseph it's trash compared to re2 remake, I like re3 remake but ya it's got problems for sure, but I also tend to just play games I like gameplay wise regardless of story
@@kirerunte1046 comparing this game to Resident Evil 3 remake I rather play this. This is still more faithful to a classic Resident Evil game then the remake of three was.
@Oni's Fury I definitely like all the re3 games but ya re3 remake was disappointing compared to 2 remake, this is a great tho
@@xyoungdipsetx you played the RE4 remake yet?
@44:53 Laura went treasure hunting in the wrong alley lol
LOL I was watching this in 480p @30fps for over 28 minutes because I thought it was your stream quality. I forgot it sets it as my default sometimes, man this game looks good even at 640x480 for 30 minutes thats why I didn't notice at first XD
man that door animation really was important to the original RE games, idk about cutting it out in a homage style game like this
man RE games really love that Corner Staircase
It looks clean...however not sure why you'd auto default it to select no...kinda weird but overall it looks clean... I hope when you turn to the left or right instead of her hovering her legs actually move... I know it's a demo but it was the only 2 things that bothered me
There are some mechanics that are very out dated and for good reason. The lighting of this game looks amazing so far. Happy to see another dev team that understands the importance of light and it's interactions within a space.
Git gud.
looks amazing!!
lol the first door she kicks in opens the wrong way
"James was here" Nice
Im starting to feel that 90's game designers thought that fixed camera in survival horror games has become outdated and people want more, but it turns out fixed camera is all we want from these games its the perfect formula
5:36
How can this carpet be in every house in the world!
I was jus passing thru looking for players playing horror games I'm like damn this looks gud but I'm like the other viewers this giving me that Resident Evil vibes great work bro 👍
We need more of these types of games. A wonder of the past but people don't realise that people want this.
46:53 that place is heavily inspired on RE3 starting area. Holy cow.
20:00 that was a nice little touch, having the bug come out of the mouth. Aside from the lack of voice acting, seems pretty triple A quality to me.
That analgesics thing is actually a painkiller.
The daymare reload thing is exactly what is in Dead Space....i realized after 1,5 hours in why im losing so much ammo.
This looks really cool. It would be nice if a developer would do a game in the style of RE outbreak. Multiple characters with their own stats and abilities.
Sorry Bawk, I'm not watching more than the first minute or so! This looks great and when it releases, I want absolutely 0 spoilers of any enemies or spooks! Thanks for giving this game a look though, it's added to my wishlist!
O just realized why the shotgun sounds so powerful and deadly despite it being short
it's KS-23
Good to see the game starting at The Winchester from Shawn of the Dead
I always enjoy how you jump out of your chair every single stream/video. Amazing stream, streamer.
Edit: on a serious note, the music in the stash room was relaxing.
Gotta say the bar you start in is very nice, i'd love to have one like that... minus the blood and guts everywhere.
1:23:34 *It's Heather...* I mean, It's bread.
Really looking forward to the full game 🎮 😀
I definitely gotta give this a try
For me, the best RElike so far is Tormented souls. Waiting for the Conscript, which seems to be good, and the Demo is pretty good 👍🏻
I liked tormented souls but it become obnoxious with the puzzles and backtracking half way through the game. This is why I still think Resident evil 1 Remake is the best classic survival horror type game. Good balance of combat, backtracking and puzzles. The puzzles in Tormented souls were absolutely ludicrous.
@@RitualBlood I got stucked many hours trying to figure out the "walk around the corpse" thing, that was a rude one for me
This looks AMAZING
Amazing detail in this
the knife was good in RE 2 boss fights, remake and OG's--as it was intended to be by the devs
beautiful looking game. if it doesn't have Tank Controls i would so play this. i love the look it has. Takes me to RE1R vibes and that is one of my top tier Horror games to date.
This game looks amazing but I'm not used to the tank controls when I tried the demo. Hopefully there will be an option for modern control scheme too?
This game is exactly how i wanted re2 remake to be.
echoes of the living, well moonglint: you have my attention. when this releases i will be buying it.
That is one powerful low powered pistol, it knocks her back like she's shooting a high wall rifle or magnum shotgun.
When Bawkba thought “ANALgesics” were suppositories 😂
The one thing that pisses me off about this video are the Twitch Chat Lawyers stating this is copyright, it's infringement and if it is original. Good god, those people are so stupid. They literally have no idea what the hell they are talking about and I'm actually impressed they don't realize how stupid they look.
This game looks amazing. For the section on RE adaptations, I still am confused why they smashed 1 + 2 together for WTRC. Just adapt the first game and do it properly, the story is there, the setting is there, just use the source material and get it done properly, then make sequels as the fans would expect.
