When Luis passed away I felt the emptiness really fast. What a rich, funny and charismatic character
Yeah, I knew it was coming and it was still sad to part ways with him. He really provided that balance to Leon and his seriousness. Can't wait to play as Luis in the Mercenaries!
Same here, immediately after his death, I felt alone. No more talking and joking with Louis. No partner to help with boss battles either. That whole section was so well done. It makes you feel something
Yeah, he was a great partner during the mine section and he made the bleaker game a little safer, brighter and funnier. Rest in peace, Don Quixote.
@@rickyfelan Well said -- it's definitely a testament to how well they expanded his character in the remake. I'm glad we were able to spend more time with Luis here and learn more about his life
@@rickyfelanhe was the best comic relief in the entire game
His death this time around hurt because you can tell Leon was just starting to become friendly with him.
Yeah, just as Leon was warming up to Leon...
@@funmylife9248 You tend to replace "Luis" with "Leon" 😆
@@nicosoftnt Those "L" names, I tell you! 😂
I know
I've watched Luis die several times throughout the years in the original RE4 and barely felt anything, but when I watched him die in the remake, it was honestly so damn sad. His last words really hurt. Wanting affirmation that he had done the right thing for once.
Hit it on the head right there. Definitely a sad way to go out, especially once you've pieced together his life's history. You could tell throughout every interaction with him that he was carrying a burden of his past, but his personality masked that pain wonderfully. Only then at the end did we find out that he was struggling a lot, and the various files we could pick up along the way did an excellent job of providing context to his character
They made his death have more impact, he actually had a presence in the remake
@@a_cynical_mad_man_vods To me, it wasn't enough. At least not enough to feel anything for his death..when he gives Leon the reason why he did what he did, he should've been alive for another chapter or two to see a shift in how Leon views and communicates with him. He was funny, charming/likable through and through.
@@a_cynical_mad_man_vods Definitely.
I actually like Luis more than a lot of the re occurring characters. He will be missed.
Luis and Ashley were done soooo much better in the remake. I honestly felt sad to see him go, I really thought he'd make it through with how much screen time he was getting this time around. Great character development.
They really were, right? It's awesome to see these characters get that kind of treatment
Can't say I agree.
> Luis is better in most aspects, but... politically correct writing makes it feel like they're forcing him to stay between the lines, which doesn't fit his character, IMO.
> Ashley was pretty much changed into a different character altogether. She's not a bratty college teen anymore spoiled by a rich daddy. No, instead she's just kind, good-hearted, etc... typical modern Hollywood trash writing. She's a female character without a single flaw in her personality. Leon was a complete jackass against her with many of his responses and rather than giving a snarky remark back, she was just confused as said nothing because that would destroy the perfect image they were going for.
I like the way they tackled Ashley's gameplay better, but quite honestly I think they did her chararacter dirty. She isn't even Ashley anymore. And sure she's less annoying now. But that's also exactly huge part of what made her Ashley.
@@thenonexistinghero Honestly, not a great take when including Hollywood and Politically Correct in your reasons. Ignore that stuff and enjoy it for what it is, because I assure you, these are actually characters now. Ones that I'd love to see again. Poor Luis. I like both the original and the remake but the remake feels like less of an extended joke.
@@ShadowRyas348 You didn't say anything count counter my argument. Modern Hollywood movie writing is pretty terrible across the board and it's a known fact that the writing in most modern AAA Capcom games is no different in terms of presentation, writing, direction, etc. It's also about as politically correct as it gets. Every single reference to something sexual regarding the women is completely abscent in the remake. Ashley's upskirt, the ballistics joke, etc.
You cannot assure me that they are actual characters now because you seem to know absolutely nothing about writing proper characters to begin with. Like I said, Luis is held back, though overal he might still be an improvement compared to before. Ashley however is not a character anymore. She's nothing more than a dime-a-dozen cardboard stereotype that has lost every bit of individuality that did make her an actual character. Maybe not a likeable one, but at the very least a real character with her own flaws and not a perfect character that doesn't have a single flaw and can do no wrong. She's about as mary-sue as it gets.
@@thenonexistinghero youre blinded by nostalgia, the remake is better
What I like too about Luis is he goes against the “smart person” trope. He’s more than just a lab coat and some glasses. He’s funny, charismatic, courages and showed Leon that he too can change (as he was still dealing with the trauma of Umbrella as well). RIP Luis!
Well said! RIP Luis...
Yeah I always forgot the fact that he was a scientist because of how he acted.
Luis was done justice in this game, it was so awesome to see him with more importance than before, can't wait for the DLC and I hope it's called "La Mancha"
@RickProduction They're gonna do a Luis dlc as well, it's likely to be called Operation Javier but here's hoping it has a reference to Don Quijote somewhere, maybe the title screen with Luis as Quijote and Leon as Sancho or a cosmetic of him with an armor
"La Mancha" would fit really well for the DLC. I like it!
@@BillieDaKitty operation Javier was actually the operation that Leon and Krauser went on together you probably heard of it and thought it was Luis’s dlc or I just never heard of Luis’s dlc name.
@@theghost5609 Oh damn, nevermind then, La Mancha it is hahaha
But it's confirmed he'll have a dlc as well, not too much information sadly
@@BillieDaKitty 👍
Louis showed that people can change for the better while Krauser showed that people can change for the worse.
Correct
He was vastly improved in the remake and I'm impressed that this was the VA's _first_ performance
Insane that this was the VA's first performance! He knocked it out of the park
No fucking way. That was his first performance?? God damn, that man has some talent!
@@s-boy4613 Yes, but I think it's more accurate to for me to say he only had a few very small acting credits to his name on IMDB. This was his first _serious_ acting credit.
I kindof wish Leon kept that picture you can find in Luis’ lab, it’s genuinely so sad , you can tell all the lab workers were so happy and excited in the photo, and there Luis is in the middle of his team. Hopefully we can play as him in mercenaries mode because out boi deserves all the love
We can play as Luis in the mercenaries update! I did a video on that recently
@@funmylife9248 yes! He should have been playable in the og game
@@tonysmith5566 Right? I'd go back and play that game now if a cheat code was miraculously discovered to play as him
He keeps digital copies in the files
>Mother dies in birth
>Grandpa dies at a young age
>Accidentally helps in the creation of the worst bioweapon of all time
>Accidentally helps turn his home village into a bunch of monsters
>Only person who can help him is a bioterrorist who wants to use his creations to kill even more people
What a lucky guy
Facts 💯😂
And hearing Ashley say this is thanks to Luis made it so much of a better story
Right? Definitely was nice to hear that
It's funny how Luis personality made him come across as clueless whereas he's exactly the opposite and incredibly smart
Right? I love that about him. It's like he is personally trying to be more relaxed aloof to cope with the pain of his past. I think it fits him perfectly
@@funmylife9248 I never watched the original and when I saw Luis I instantly loved his character and personality
@@SICPARVISMAGNA3018 Happy to hear you enjoyed the character so much 😀
@@funmylife9248 made his death for me all the more sad
@@SICPARVISMAGNA3018 Absolutely
Another thing I liked in the remake is Ashley's reaction to Leon telling her that Luis didn't make it. It's genuinely a really difficult scene to watch because you can see her just processing everything that happened, and the fact that effects her even without her knowing as much about him as Leon does really shows how much depth as a character Luis had. Also, just have to mention, this is probably one of the best analysis/lore videos regarding Luis I've seen! He's my favorite character in the whole franchise and it makes me happy to see him be done justice both in the game and in analysis.
It was definitely a shock to Ashley as she was processing what had happened to Luis. It really is testament to the quality of the character building present in this game and I am happy my hombre got the attention and care he deserved. Thank you for the kind words! I had a great time going over his lore and connections to the RE universe and I'm happy that others are liking it. I will be doing more with the character deep-dives soon
Re4 Remake Ashley: 😢 For Luis..
Re4 OG: Luis’s dead body in the same room. Ashley: Y’all see somethin?? 👀
I love how this whole game feels like Don Quixote. I mean what doesn't seeing that it inspired everything, but all the references are nice and I love the aesthetic of it, especially Luis. He's my favourite character.
Well said -- I like that we had various references of Don Quixote in there as well. His actions and words along with his files you can read throughout the game really do make him feel like a well thought out character
Yea like when you and luis kill the giants.
@@walmartian422 That was an awesome moment
What is Don Quixote? Excuse my ignorance
@@TheCynicalJay its the best selling novel of all time
Honestly would love a Luis story DLC. Start with him escaping the island, getting captured, and meeting Leon, and then doing all the other chapters just from Luis perspective until his death. Would be a lot of fun and having his custom Red 9 would be fun to use. He's such a great character and the voice actor who played seems like a great guy too.
I think that would be fantastic. How great would it be to see more of Luis, right? I think Capcom should roll with these morally gray characters some more, as Luis is an incredible case study and has an incredible lasting impact on the series
Or maybe all of that, then show him surviving. Maybe Ada saves him or something.
@@farashahanem Yeah they do!
Imagine a game in his umbrella days 😳
I felt so heartbroken when he died in the old re4 but the remake hit harder. It’s nice we learned more about him too and the fact he worked on nemesis.
Yeah it was sad seeing him go out in both games. This one certainly stung harder
Yes, i learned that Luis did work on Nemesis just 2 days ago
@@RichardHunke this game was about his redemption. He basically saved the world in this game by helping lean & Ashley get rid of the plaga
What’s more tragic is that Luis was forced to kill his fellow villagers when he helped Leon and Ashley. Some of them are probably his relatives or friends that helped took care of him when he was a child. He must’ve been so heart broken but hides his true feelings under his charismatic and cheerful personality.
I think they did Luis much better in the remake. Like, I didn't cry, but his death in the remake did leave me speechless for over a minute. I had to take a break before playing again in a half hour. "People can change." Yeah, yeah they can, Luis. Also, I think that's flippin awesome they retconned him into not just being any former Umbrella researcher but being part of the team that developed Nemesis. Great way to bridge RE3 and RE4 together.
Really well said. I completely agree with that. It was an awesome touch to link RE3 and RE4 together with Luis. Makes sense and gives us more to understand about Luis' past experiences
One thing I really love about the three remakes so far, is how they all expanded the side characters (Leon, Ada, Claire and Sherry in RE2R, Carlos in RE3R, Luis, Ashley and Ramon in RE4R), really appreciate the effort went into writing!
Yeah, that came to mind when I was making this video as well. I love the expanded side cast that we have with the remakes. It makes the stories feel more grounded in their settings and I especially love how they feel more connected than ever before
Too bad Ada’s voice actor in 4 remake sucks
@@omensoffate I think Capcom is at fault here and not the actress. They could've directed her much better but probably told her to act disinterested in Leon
The real crime is DC Douglas getting removed because his dumb ass broke his NDA with capcom. He was the best wesker and we probably aren’t gonna get him back for mercenaries.
@@zombiecopchris You rock, bro
The additions to Luis's story in the remake were great. All you knew about him in the original was that his granddad showed him a secret passage to get around the village, Saddler hired him to research Las Plagas and Luis was too interested in how the parasites behaved to see that Saddler wanted to infect the world with them and felt guilty when he realised so tried to bring Los Illuminados down.
I think his additions were awesome as well. Capcom did a great job with his character here
In the remake he is such a charming character, I still had a hope they'd leave him alive. Sad.
It would've been awesome to see him survive in the remake. In the end, I really love what they did to his character in the remake. I liked him a lot in the original as well, but I liked that the remake gave us more time with Luis
@@funmylife9248 hoping he survived to make a cure people thought that probably because of zack fair in ff7 remake which is actually a sequel
honestly, Luis' ark in this game, and his death was the most emotionally impactful of ANY RE game.
I agree! They did a great job with it here
It was a really emotional death indeed, but being the most can be kinda debated since we have others like Ethan in RE8 or Piers in RE6
@@igorscrok9403 True. I felt Luis' death was done better than the rest, personally, but I can see why some felt more with Ethan in RE8
Luis's death hit very hard, their depiction of losing a comrade in a life or death situation is stunning. The wave of emotions hitting you as you light his last cigarette, the atmosphere as you lay your hand on his chest as the life fades from his body, into the white screen of the end of the chapter. You're sitting there trying to process this, click next chapter, and it opens to your hand still resting on his chest. You say some final words. stand up, and its right back to it. No sad music, no cutscene of coping, just right back to the mission. For me it was a "oh shit this is reality" type moment. Even in such a far fetched story the character development in it is superb
Good point! It's a short but sweet moment that seems to last as long as it needs to without being too drawn out. I couldn't have asked this scene to be done any other way
This was really sad. You see, I never played the Old RE 4 so when the time he died and uttered his last words that he really wanted to make amends, I was really devastated. Had to take a break from gaming and I felt that someone I know or one of my relatives died. I wanted him to make it, I thought he will make it but he didn't.
Definitely one of the most poignant moments in the entire franchise and one of its greatest as well. Luis will be missed!
@DrakeZoa *hugs* 😢
well he lived longer thankfully but he still died
i didnt even make the connection that luis was the little boy in the journal
Yeah, it dawned on me when I read that he was really into Don Quixote. Finding Luis in the tunnel underneath the shack and the Old Man's diary just further cemented it
Luis is a character that should be kept alive and brought back. He could have healing properties or something. He is a scientist after all.
Huh, that would be truly haunting
Most definitely that would mean that he has been infected by some strain of the viruses he was working on and we already see how those things resurrect ppl or who knows maybe he’ll get wesker’ed
@@funmylife9248 the merchant was close ; he may have took Luis 🤔
One of the unauthentic things in the RE series is that almost every time the only survivors are the protagonists, i wished so much that Luis will survive in the remake.
That would've been awesome, no doubt
There should be a mod where right after the scene where Luis "dies" he recovers, stands up and follows you all the way to the final boss battle, helping you with ammo 😆
@@nicosoftnt I still say I wish they would patch the game and make it like RE1 Remake so you can have alternate endings depending on how you play. That way, we could get the good ending with Luis.
And have it be the canon ending! 😊
@@farashahanem He was not impaled through and through like in the original, he was wounded with a knife. Leon could not save him because he and Ashley were running out of time, BUT. What if Ada encounters Luis unconscious, and rescues him behind the scenes? Would be cool if this was shown in a dlc.
I loved the comparison they made between Luis and Krauzer. Krauzer who changed from good to evil killed Luis who changed from evil to good.
So true 💯
Nice analysis. Long post ahead...
Luis is indeed the highlight of the remake for me, his DLC can be a great link between RE3 & RE4 events, following his long journey from Umbrella days to los iluminados, betraying Saddler, removed the parasite, and going through Ashley's kidnapping, then he met Leon, we get to play as Luis with with ada/leon as our partners, DLC showing things from Luis perspective & hopefully it ends with Luis survival twist.
Luis with such tragic backstory he can be an important wildcard that improves the story adding more interesting scenarios with Luis as ex Umbrella scientist who can create anything. RE story is desperately in needs for morally gray chars like Luis.
The way they did his death be way less deadly where other chars survived worse, that his survival twist is so easy to do now, maybe they did to leave it open for his comeback. Especially the devs refers to the recent remakes being its own continuity means an intended distinction between canons. I thought about this idea on Luis survival twist which **doesn't effect his death** moment, I shared this idea with Luis actor and he thought it’s genius and should be canon:
Luis was canonically described as a genius prodigy biologist and one of the best Umbrella researchers who produced medications for Umbrella before he created Nemesis, later his plaga research resulted creatures like the Regenerators. Seems like he experienced alot of things. It's very convenient if Luis was developing a **cure that helps regenerate after injuries** for medical purposes based on his experience as ex Umbrella scientist, and he was testing it on his body which explains the scars on his left cheek and neck, he just **never tried fatal injuries** because well...it hurts, this twist won't effect his death moment as he was in deep pain losing consciousness thinking he's gonna die not knowing whether the cure will work or not, so he said what he believed will be his last words to Leon, but in reality **he just went into coma while healing**.
Remember he passed out after the stab and walked ALL the way back to save Leon despite his injury. No logical explanation other than he got some cure he was developing based on his Umbrella medications/viruses/parasites experience.
They could make a scene where he wakes up like "huh I'm not dead? The regen did work?" Or Ada comes to check his body and realize he's still warm confirming not dead.
- There are scenarios with Luis like Jill finding out he's involved in the creation of her first nightmare, Nemesis, Jill would probably try to kill him while Leon would stop her.
- Another cool scenario that Luis can make samples that helps Leon or anyone from the main cast to willingly gain power/speed like Wesker but temporarily, to beat other BOWs or some powerful villain, and Luis would have the vaccine to bring them back to normal. Would be pretty cool to see Leon or other characters have super powers like Wesker.
- And the concept of dominant plaga infected Luis being able to control creatures for good to help the cast deal with other villains/BOWs. Remember RE4R Luis notes was planning to keep the dominant plaga for himself that it was with him until he died, because his plan was to develop it outside of los illominados cult so he can beat Saddler that's why he contacted Ada to help him get out of there but he was planning to trick ada and keep the plaga. Means **Luis was willing to apply the plaga on himself where he can control plaga creatures**, Luis is like the perfect candidate for such interesting concept and would be such a cool add for the main cast. Even if he lost the plaga with Ada, he can still create another one, he can do literally anything based on his experience in the lore, that's how impactful Luis has become plotwise.
- The best scenario we can get where Luis creates a **more intimidating bigger version of Nemesis** but this time **he can control it for good** through a parasite just because he felt bad that #1 Nemesis killed many people, so he makes a new one he can control through the plaga, imagine Nemesis 2.0 that fights for the good side against other BOWs/villains to help the main cast. Imagine we get to play as Nemesis itself? **Luis with his majestic Red9 doing cool stuff while controlling Nemesis 2.0 to beat other BOWs**!! The idea is mindblowing and too good to be ignored i wish you make a video to share my idea about his survival twist and the cool scenarios that Luis character would provide storywise, so it can reaches capcom. Luis Serra potential is crazy.
- And a very cool concept where Luis just turn himself into Nemesis 2.0 through successful experiments where he can fully control himself to help the cast beat BOWs, and he can regularly transform between human/monster forms, because of his previous canon experience in developing parasites/viruses he can do literally anything.
The interesting thing about Luis is that he makes the problem bigger or more complicated when he's trying to fix it, the type of morally gray character that RE story is desperately in needs to spice things up for the main cast. Like his intentions was all good to find the cure to the plaga that killed his grandpa, little Luis was traumatized watching his only family member die in the flames due to the plaga, so he joined Umbrella to learn more about the parasites concept, helped them create Nemesis and left when he realized their bad intentions, then joined Los iluminados in hope he can create the plaga cure, his research ended up creating El Gigante, Regenerators, U3, Novistadors and Verdugo. He did end up creating the parasite removal machine but at what cost! poor Luis he's misunderstood and flawed, but that's what makes him such a great character.
Amazing post! I will definitely entertain a video with those thoughts. You make incredibly valid points here that are worth exploring. Having morally gray characters is definitely a good way to go with the franchise and Luis fits that role beautifully. I especially like your idea about Luis creating a Nemesis 2.0 to help rid of BOW's... that would be sick. I think that it is possible that he survived, although I won't get my hopes up on it. I think perhaps we will know a bit more about the fate of the character in Ada's Separate Ways DLC. I look forward to seeing him more in her content and I hope the future has more for the character -- whether he survived Krauser's attack or a prequel following Luis and his time at Umbrella or Los Illuminados. Excellent post!
@@funmylife9248 Thanks. I'm not getting my hopes up but I'm finding ideas to bring him back because I think killing him in one game is a mistake, his survival adds more to the story than his death.
The best part about Luis survival is that he didn't die in the island where everything blew up, so there are many ways for Luis to recover.
The Remake did such a good job making us care about Luis as a character, because even though I wasn't super fond of him (i never played the original lol) at the time of his death, it truly hurt to watch and it made me so upset when he never got to hear Leon's response to his final words. And the fact that his death truly impacted the characters and their beliefs is such good storytelling, even if it is pretty subtle (for example, Leon asking Ada if she thinks she's changed/if she thinks people are capable of change and Ashley being upset about his death, even though she didn't really know him). This game did such a good job of making us, and the characters, care more for Luis and I love that
Really well said! They took a mysterious and likeable character in the original and completely expanded upon it, giving him proper room to shine and move the story forward. His death was impactful in just the way that it needed to, and Luis will be remembered here in this remake for becoming a more well-rounded and likeable character here. He will be missed
It's worth noting that "the Amber" luis mention is actually a stronger version of saddler's dominant parasite, not just any plaga
Whats even more alarmin is the fact when readin the report on the amber u can see on the top left font of the file "europe lab six report" as in umbrella europe 6,like was umbrella aware of the amber before they went down and used it to make the G virus,and nemesis back in the day?
Listening to his last words made me tear up. Especially when is comes from someone who’s always optimistic and joyful
Yeah, really a super sad way to go
Luis was an amazing character, and he was such an amazing RE4r character expansion. But it also retroactively added so much more to RE3r, a game that I felt robbed from when it was released.
Thank you for making this video.
I appreciate that! I really like the expanded Luis we got here as well. Although I was also pretty let down by RE3R, I am happy that we have some more context behind some elements of that game's story and connecting the numbered entries together
RE2r was also pretty robbed of content, but some people just refuse to look at that game without nostalgia glasses. Yes RE3r could've been better, thought it was a pretty solid game for what it was.
@@animatedink2529 Really well said. I think RE3 Remake was a bit more egregious with the cut content, but your point still stands. I love RE2 Remake and I think, for me personally, I like it more than the original. RE3 Remake is a fine game, but coming after RE2 Remake, it feels more like a DLC expansion. The OG RE3 felt decidedly different from RE2 in my opinion. Loved the decisions you could make and Nemesis was much more formidable. As a game, RE3 Remake works well, but I wish it kept some of the cut DNA from the original in there because I think the remake would've benefited greatly
@Reggie Taylor Logic is not your strong suit.
Luis Sera passing i cried first time and 2nd time harder i wish he didn't cause he didn't desever that
It was sad seeing him go... I look forward to hopefully seeing more of him during Ada's Separate Ways
I was at work wondering if Luis was involved with the creation of Nemesis considering he was researching the Plaga. So glad they confirmed that
Yeah, it's a pretty cool and logical connection there. I love seeing how the games get further connected
Well its been confirmed tht Luis was infact part of umbrella Europe sixth lab dream team aka the team tht gave us the nemesis,the photo of him during his time as umbrella researcher pretty much says it
@@sherif956 Sure does!
@@sherif956 i saw that in the remake, but i was little lost with his backstory for the original. I rushed to play the OG before the remake came out so if it was at all mentioned in 2005, i definitely missed it. Either way, i love how they tied each of the games together more concisely with the remakes
But capcom sure dropped the ball...again whn thy unceremoniously got rid of the series big bad (umbrella) instead of a flashback scene like in og,it's reduced to a simple sentence by Luis in the remake which is somehow..EVEN worse like,ffs capcom u had 18 yrs to fix tht shit,I swear its like capcom has a problem with chris,jill and umbrella aka the very characters tht started this whole mfin series !
I never thought I would shed a tear for a resident evil character.
RIP Luis
It’s interesting to note that by getting the amber for Ada who in turn was supposed to give it to Wesker, Luis was unknowingly participating in a greater evil upon the world.
RE4R Luis notes was planning to keep the dominant plaga for himself that it was with him until he died, because his plan was to develop it outside of los illominados cult so he can beat Saddler that's why he contacted Ada to help him get out of there but he was planning to trick ada and keep the plaga.
Yep, it's a crazy cycle of mistakes for Luis, but I like to think he was trying to be a better person by his end
@@funmylife9248 Yeah I think so too, he wanted to do good (and he did for Leon and Ashley) but was just unaware of the greater schemes going on in the background.
@@lithium84 Yeah, definitely 💯
@ Lithium he just can’t catch a break. This whole doctor/Researcher just isn’t for him because they’re his work always get used for Evil/world domination
I held back tears when he died.
Definitely a sad moment
I absolutely love the references to Don Quixote whenever Luis was on screen. It really helps contextualize his motivation.
It definitely does. The lore added to the character this time around really grounds him in the world he is in. They did a great job with Luis here
I see Luis also as a hope for Leon that Ada could change too
That's a good point!
His last words were so heartbreaking. Despite everything that he did in the past he just wanted to do better.
Yeah... it was really sad seeing him go like that
The end of the video really made me think of Robin Williams. He was playful and bright such light to the work, but he held such a darkness inside.
Definitely. Luis reminds me a lot of Robin Williams. I think a lot of the smiles hides something much darker beneath...
I wish we could see more of Luis, he's an intriguing character and the one who connects great part of the games together. I wish he could have survived and made his emmends. I do hope we get to see more of him.
Same! I really hope to see more of him as well. I am glad to see him in Mercenaries
@@funmylife9248 yes! I'm so glad we have him in mercenaries too! Although we've seen little of him I'm glad we were given more of him than in the og! It was a great change and I loved it!
@@lady_phantom_ Absolutely! The more Luis, the better in my opinion. I look forward to seeing more scenes of him in Ada's Separate Ways DLC
@@funmylife9248 same! I hope the dlc will Be as good as the remake :)
@@lady_phantom_ Let's hope!
I knew he was going to die the whole time and yet I still got choked up. The sheer injustice of it all is so tragic, because he truly deserved better. Who knew him getting a degree in biology would be what ended up killing him :(
So true. It's sad what culminated in his death, but we all know he was trying to turn things around
New DLC Luis didn't fully get rid of his plaga parasite, now that he was near death it activated and he's back with a lance shaped plaga for a weapon coming out of his arm
This is exactly what I wanted, a thorough video on Luis! Thank you for making everything concise. I would like to see a video done on Krauser and his motivations in RE4 Remake as well as his relationship with Leon and turning to work for saddler! Oh man so much lore i love it.
I'm glad you liked it! Krauser is a fascinating character as well and that would make for a great video. I'll write that down!
Man, Louis was an awesome character, and you did an excellent video honoring his story. Thanks man.
Thanks a lot! Luis is an awesome character, and he will be missed
Luis in the remake was a GREAT character, while i loved the OG this one is just so much better. When he died in the OG i didn't really care, i mean he was great but he barely had any true relevance that i just couldn't bring myself to care a lot... but in the remake? i cried for hours. i'm literally finishing my ninth run on the game after doing all 4 difficulty speedruns, and boy whenever i see his final cutscene i start bawling like an actual baby. what a great damn character they made in this remake, his english VA did such a good job i'm impressed
Luis was incredible here. Definitely elevated the character over the original and made it even more difficult to part ways. Such a great improvement!
Not gonna lie, I haven't played the original myself, but I did play the remake, I started bawling when Luis died, he made the game less lonely for me and more fun with his one liners and shit.
He is very much improved over the original and many ways, and his death was even more impactful this time around due to us being able to spend more time with him. He will be missed!
As a kid when I played the original RE4 my uncle and I would say “oh no” & laugh because he basically dies by Sadlers dick
As soon as the remake was available at 11pm my time, I instantly teleported to my ps5 to play LOL, after his death I stayed on the end chapter screen for a good 5 minutes just bawling my eyes out.
Original Re4 holds a special place in my heart. I was 11 when it came out. It was the first RE game I beat by myself and I remember sitting on the couch in the living room watching my uncle play re4 over and over again to unlock weapons etc. when the news came out that re4 was getting a remake I sent all types of videos to my uncle. Last November he suffered from a brain aneurysm. He survived and amazingly recovered multiple surgeries and a stroke. I finished re4 remake in a little over a day and I called my uncle to talk about it. He doesn’t remember anything and it hurts. Luis was one of his favorite RE characters and I tried explaining to him how they do justice for his character & he was like “I’m sorry I don’t remember who that is” No one is going to read this ridiculously long comment lol but.. thank you so much for making this video. I know my uncle would love it if he remembered how much he admired Luis.
That is the sweetest comment I've ever received. Thank you for sharing that! I'm glad your uncle was granted the gift of life and I know if he could remember those days when you played the game together when you were younger, he'd love the new Luis and the time talking to you about it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it gave you some space to reflect about your memories. Take care!
If they let Ada return despite falling to certain death in RE2. I'm sure they can figure something out to save Luis, right? Maybe Ada saved him with some life saving ointments? Maybe they can give him an important part in future RE games so they can retroactivly give him some plotarmor?
That's a good point. Regardless, I'd love to see Luis return. He'd make for a fantastic protagonist in RE
@@funmylife9248 Back by popular demand. It is Easter after all is it not? Luis can come back as Jesus
@@EvertfromNederland Let's make it happen!
Luis calling Leon “Sancho” and Leon replying “who you calling Sancho” was one of the funniest parts of the game
😂Yeah they had some legendary exchanges in this remake
Luis here just look at leon and decide he is going to be my side-kick.😂
I appreciate you put your personality into the video instead of just rehashing information.
I appreciate that! I had a good time with this
March on, Señor Quixote! I wasn't sure about the "age down" and different voice given to the character for the remake when he was revealed in the first trailer, but I still fell for my favorite Resident Evil NPC just the same. Such intelligence, such charisma, and he gets more screen time in the remake's version of the story... I am a happy RE fan.
Same. Definitely happy to have seen a bit more of this awesome character
Luis made mistakes but in the end he was a real one, people can change
Absolutely
I love Luis, he’s so handsome
I liked how they presented Luis in this game, cannot say that he became deeper; but it was a great addition to his background without a doubt.
Same. I liked how he was represented here as well. A strong improvement over the original Luis, no doubt
I loved the original Luis, but he was just straight up amazing in the remake.
Luis has always been my favorite side character in all of resident evil. Always has been
He is probably my favorite as well
Great video man, really explains Luis character in detail. Shame he died before being able to write his wrongs but he will live on in our hearts. When i finally get my hands on the game ill dedicate a playthrough all to him.
And yes I know he's not a real person but Capcom really did a great job of fleshing out his character in this remake, so much so that I cant help feeling sad for his misfortunes. Thanks Capcom, and thanks Fun My Life for this great video!
Thanks for the awesome comments! I am glad you enjoyed the video and the game. I love how they portrayed Luis here in this remake and although we may never see him again in a future game, I am happy that we got more time to spend with him in this remake
Very good video! It will get a lot of views.
I would like to see Krauser‘s story next.
Thanks a lot! Krauser's video will be coming up soon
It took till the remake to realize Luis is the boy who loved the stories of donquihotie . The scene you opened with where he speaks of the princess is what finally made me realize.
Eh? He called Leon "Sancho Panza" that do it for me.
This time around, Luis was emphasized so much more, get to know more, and his performance was stellar I was worried about how his character would’ve portrayed and I do love him so much as I did in the original. I can never get enough of him even though he received a bit more screen time and wish there was DLC for him also.
I haven’t checked other character videos yet from your channel, but if there’s a deep Nemesis backstory of who he was before, I’d like to know.
Definitely appreciate the greater focus on Luis this time around. I will definitely look into your Nemesis video suggestion. Sounds like an excellent idea!
@@funmylife9248 Awesome! I’ll see if I can find more about him and his past to share with you.
@@funmylife9248 Luis had a more meaningful end for sure in the remake. And his lines and his direction are just gold to me.
@@RichardHunke 💯
In the original Luis died a violent death but in the remake he dies a changed man.
Absolutely. Super well said
Fantastic video. Helped me fill in the pieces that I didn't fully understand, good job.
Always! I'm glad you enjoyed it
ever sense I was little and watched my sister play re4 I really liked Luis's character and was really sad when he died and that he really wasn't in the game much it's self, as I always wanted to know more about him as a person because they gave so little to the players in the original. seeing more of him in the remake and how they changed his death from being impaled by saddler to being stabbed by Krauser and not dieing immediately and having a few extra moments to reveal his true person. a man who wanted to be better and was scared of not being able to fix his wrong doings, his death in the remake hurt more and honestly made me feel sadder and hopeless not being able to save Luis, and Leon can't do anything to help except sit with him in his last moments.
Yeah, it was a difficult moment but was executed really well here. Definitely one of the stand out moments of the game. I greatly appreciate what Capcom did here with Luis
The fact that he was part of the group who made Nemesis...
Pretty crazy, right?
@@funmylife9248good thing jill wasnt the one send to valdelobos,cause if she were..ooof shed have bodied luis harder than krauser did 😂
@@sherif956 😂So true
@funmylife9248 and given luis's flirty nature,and the fact he's Spanish..o God this is literally Jill's nightmare all over again : flirty Spanish dude(carlos and luis) ,parasites(plaga and nemmy)
Jill woulda k!lled luis twice : once for flirting with her,and the 2nd time for takin part in makin nemesis 🤣😆💀
@@sherif956carlos is portuguesse brazillian tho. Both those two almost the same, cassanova types.😂
RE is my favorite franchise of all time, been playing since day one of og RE. There has only been two times in the series history I was genuinely bummed when someone died, Ethan being one and Luis being the other.
Nice! I really liked what they did with Luis here
@@funmylife9248 Yeah they did well with him in this remake, but then again they did well all the way around. Capcom is one of the very, very few gaming companies still making games FOR gamers.
@@chipchippahson Agreed. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this game
This video really made me love an already likable character. Great work!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it
I was really hoping he would survive this time. Would have been happy to play him as a main character at some point.
Yeah it sucks but at least I’ve seen he’s in mercenaries.
Yeah, that would've been great
My wife actually ran into Andre Pena, Luis' VA, out of the blue, once. It was hilarious how she was bragging to me about it for hours afterwards.
That's really awesome!
I laughed so hard at 8:17 great job! I can't believe I missed that the kid from the journals was Luis.
I thought it was Ramón lol. RIP our boi Luis.
😂
Yes, in all seriousness, Luis will definitely be missed.
People can change, yes. It's often a question of whether they must do it alone, or can be inspired and helped by others. No man is an island.
Really well said 💯 I like the way you put that
He was a fine knight. R.I.P handsome
Luis will be missed!
Im hoping Luis actually survived. And Ada saves him. Stranger things have happened in Re so im praying
True that!
Perhaps the most tragic and haunting thing about Luis is his key drop being bugged in chapter 12 forcing a soft lock in chapter 15 of the re4 remake
Yikes... I've heard about that glitch. Definitely the most tragic and haunting thing about Luis, no doubt
@@funmylife9248 what if this glitch exists because they have a DLC with different scenario of Luis giving us the key? Maybe he's with us in the lab? Hopefully a DLC where he survives 😮 let me dream lol
@@jojo1cool I'd love that to happen!
@@jojo1cool 😱 You give me hope! 🥰💖💕💖💕
Absolutely outstanding video thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@funmylife9248 🙂👍
Luis is probably my favorite character in Resident Evil. No offense to Leon fans.
I respect that, for sure. I hope to see more morally gray characters like Luis appear in this universe
Don Quixote. You lived a tragic life and went out trying to save the world to make up for your sins. A bright individual that was unjustly used by corporate sociopaths and a cult leader that turned your homeland into a hellscape for all who venture into it. Luis Sera you were fun, charismatic and your fight for personal redemption will leave a last impact on players and the franchise.
Really well said 💯
Maybe and I hope Luis survived and it will be revealed in the upcoming DLC Separate Ways.
Wouldn't that be something?? Regardless, it would be cool to have a nice campaign with the dude so we can learn even more about him. He's a fascinating character
DUDE!! A Luis campaign would be so much fun to play!!
Bro he died
I wonder this because they didn't impale him like they did the original. What if there were traces of the virus left in his body that heals him? 🤔
I know it would be a reach but I can see them bringing him back
I could see that as well. I mean, how on earth did Ada survive that fall in RE2?
@@funmylife9248 I guess that grapple gun she has
@@foggish213 Could be. Who knows?
I'm remember hearing people talk about RE4 Luis I didn't get the hype After playing the game He is absolutely one of my favorite characters Extremely witty And charming I wanna play at him in Mercenaries Hopefully he's not too hard To Unlock And yes I will have to 100% percent have own DLC!
Ps His new design is a thousand times better
Right? I am so happy he turned out to be awesome awesome as he did. I hope we get more Luis content in the future
Even though Luis worked for umbrella I think he redeemed himself in this game. He probably helped create some virus with umbrella but he also helped Leon save not just Ashley but also the United States from the plagas parasites. In the words of Leon: “you were a fine knight Don Quixote.”
I definitely think he redeemed himself in this game as well. It's great to see him be appreciated by Leon at the end there
@@funmylife9248 I agree. Especially considering how much doubt and negativity he felt after leading of Luis’ past. I’m always glad to see stuff like this turn around for the better
@@lucasvincent3021 Definitely nice to see the character come around and try to redeem themselves. I like to think that Luis never had the intention to partake in anything like this had he known it that would've sent the world spiraling out of control
Late to the party, BUT DAMN BOY!
You did an excellent job after fleshing out Luis and his story. But I have so many unanswered questions.
1. The wolf.. it sounds like it already had Las Plagas.. and the fact the bite caused Luis's grandpa to be infected is very interesting. Makes me wonder if Las Plagas has already been active, due to Saddler and him already converting Salazar into his cult.
2. The Nemesis Project. Luis worked on it while being station in Europe. It doesn't help that Luis is the subject matter on parasites in the Umbrella Team, and then in RE4 remake.
3. I wonder if the Nemesis parasite was derived from Las Plagas? So many interesting questions left unanswered or only implied..
1. Luis grandpa definitely got infected by the wolf, it makes sense that Saddler started his plaga infections on the village with the wolves first so they infect humans faster, to gain followers the easy way. Instead of Saddler bothering to do it himself on each person.
Based on the notes, the rumors of the infected people killing their kids had already started by the time Luis grandpa got infected, so it was indeed the start of Saddler's plan to infect people through the wolves.
2,3. Yea I'm wondering too i wish they make Luis DLC to explain more about his involvements.
Thanks! Definitely curious about 2 and 3 but to answer the one about the wolf, I think that maybe Saddler infected the wolves and wildlife
first before injecting people directly... just a hunch
I’ll be honest, i never cared much for Luis as a character, i solely clicked this because i saw Nemesis and realized there may be an interesting story to learn, and i was right. Great vid and great use of a thumbnail
I appreciate that!
Luis death, always hits me hard, it did back in the GC and now again
Same here! Loved the new take on the character here in the remake
I loved how he said "people can change"😢
One thing I don’t understand about Ashley is. How did she get caught when she was always equipped with ballistics.
She never used them 😂
Nemesis and perhaps Uroboros makes me believe Luis had alot of guilt and sadness from all the misery he caused, but at least he died knowing he got Leon as far as he did and got the senorita and the ballistics home safe, RIP you good for nothing ladies man 😔
I know it would've been too much to ask, but a part of me was hoping there'd be some weird hoops we could jump through to save Luis in this game
That would be cool to see!
I still wish Leon would have said something back to Luis before he passed. He deserved to hear that people can change.
Man...Luis was a great character. In the Re4 Remake, I loved what they did to him. and when it happen...I was happy, angry, and sad.
Same. What a range of emotions, right? Luis is definitely a memorable character that will be missed... So nice to see we can play as him in the mercenaries
waiting for a mod where he can live and follow you through the last sections of the game
That would be sick.
I just realised the same boy who loved don Quixote, is fucking luis....that makes his death all the more tragic. He became that scholar his grandfather always saw him as..came back home too. Maybe when he was doing research for the amber, he was trying to bring back his grandpa...oh luis...
Really sad, right? He's got a pretty tragic story but loved seeing him try to become the man he wanted to be by leaving all that stuff behind to help people. He will be missed
Thank you for the awesome information
Of course. Glad you enjoyed it!
If he lived, maybe Luis would've owed Jill an apology for indirectly being a pain in the ass to her with his contribution to the creation of Nemesis in RE3.
I dream to see that play out somehow
Thank you for this 🎅
May I also add The Grim Reaper 😎
Thank you for watching!
Luis’ death was the second RE death that made me cry (the first being Ethan Winters) and he’s one of my favorite characters in the game
It was really sad to see him go
I'll be honest, while we know Luis' outcome, I wouldn't mind a Project: Luis sort of expansion to show the lengths he went to recover both the medicine for Leon and Ashley as well as how he got the amber sample.
I would LOVE that! I hope they do something like that
Loved your video, Recently finished the og Re4.
Glad to learn more about his lore 👍👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it! What did you think of the original game?
@@funmylife9248 It's certainly was an awesome experience, I had fun the entire time I played through, which is something I don't get often in a lot of games. The order I've played re series is also a bit weird, re5 - re 6 - re 2 - re revelations 2 - re 7. I haven't got the chance to play any of the remake yet, and since re4 re came, I thought I should play the original re4 (and see why it's praised so much among the community)... It was a wise choice 🙂
@@asifulahsan I'm glad you liked it! I look forward to hearing what you think of the remake when you get the chance to play it
